About the TSL Podcast
Launched in August 2017, the TSL Podcast is the most widely listened-to and watched Virginia Tech sports podcast. It began as an audio-only podcast, then started streaming live on Facebook in March of 2019 with Episode 66. In the summer of 2019, we built the Tech Sideline Podcast set and started streaming live from the set on YouTube in August of 2019 with Episode 73 (which, bluntly speaking, looks hilariously amateurish to us now).
You can listen on your favorite streaming platform or watch every episode on the Tech Sideline YouTube channel. Be sure to Like and Subscribe while on YouTube.
About TechSideline.com
Tech Sideline is an independent publication, not affiliated with the university or its athletic programs, so we provide a unique perspective that appeals to the large and growing fan base of Virginia Tech Athletics.
Tech Sideline was launched on March 12, 1996 by 1987 Tech graduate (BSEE) Will Stewart as a small, personal web page. In 1997, the site evolved into HokieCentral.com, and in August of 1999, joined the SportsWar network of college sports web sites. In November of 2000, the site changed names to TechSideline.com, or TSL. Over the years, TSL has grown into what you see before you: a full-time Virginia Tech sports media company, complete with web site, podcast, YouTube channel, and large and active social media presences.
TSL is a member of the SportsWar network of college sports web sites. Visit SportsWar.com for more information.

3 key injuries on offense didn’t help. I think one of the things that might help the running game is stop doing the draw/read running play. Instead of depending on the RB to find the hole, the O line and TEs need to MAKE the holes to run through. VT should be determinant instead of reactionary. It isn’t working. Go with the little used “I” formation…play some smash-mouth. Literally anything is better. And why didn’t we run around the edges against Purdue to try and tire our those big boys? Hate to say it because I like Wells, but VT is never going to get a 5 star QB. You start Drones now and VT has 3 years with him…and having a QB in his senior season with 2 years of experience is like having a 5 star QB. His scrambling/playmaking skills will change the game for VT.
Why the rain delay? I was under the impression that the field is made of grass pallets with water flow below sucked out by two jet engines. I watched a game where they played in a hurricane and on TV you couldn’t even tell that it was raining unless the camera pointed at the lights.
Probably because there was lightning like 3x per minute
