This is a sad podcast. The football teams loses their last game of the season to in state rival, Virginia Tech. The basketball team is shut down and has cancelled games against the two best opponents that were on the schedule in Michigan St. and Villanova. But, we still have sports in our lives, and that brings us joy. Give a listen for our takes on all things football, basketball, and UVA sports related.
It is officially HATE WEEK. We talk about the teams that we HATE that we play this week. We preview the football game against Virginia Tech (who we HATE), and the basketball game against Michigan State (who we lightly hate).
The Guys recorded this pod but didn't edit it until late...but we still make some great points! We discuss FSU having to cancel their football game against UVA, talk about the basketball team beating Towson, but also the basketball team losing to San Francisco.
We are calling this Double-Episode-Day because Dustin sucks and forgot to drop the pod last week. We suggest listening to that one first. But you don't really have to I guess. Skip Ep. 92 if you love UNC and hate Brain Delaney. In this pod, we discuss the win over Louisville, the departure of :( Jowan Briggs, and the upcoming basketball season which starts next week!
Y'all, Dustin edited this episode but he forgot to upload it because he's a frickin idiot! AND IT WAS A GREAT EPISODE. Backtrack a couple of weeks to hear us smack talk UNCheat, discuss the scholarship situation for next season, do some deep dive stats on the UVA kicker Brain Delaney, and talk about Bubbleville way before the schedule was finalized.
The Guys are here to talk about football, and it would be so so easy to be negative about this season. However, we try to keep it positive (for some of the time).

The Guys talk about UVA's first football game and first win of the season! We start off with things we liked from the game, dove into things we want to see improved, and ended with a brief and very positive Clemson preview.
Rob and Dustin are salty and disappointed that VT had to postpone their first football game against the Hoos because they were scared of COVID related issues. We dive into our thoughts about that, our feelings that football is back, and an update on our newest basketball recruit!
Football season is (hopefully) right around the corner, and it's time for Rob and Dustin to debate which position units on the UVA football team are the best. We discuss the top five, the players that make the units good, and we talk about why the bottom three units could still surprise people.
The Guys are back together! Rob and Dustin talk about updates from UVA summer football camp, how we feel about playing VPI as our first game, and updates on former Hoos from the NBA bubble.
