Solid email this morning from Alan, regular reader, on the Tech-UVA game, the kind of good that got me to think through what we know, to this point, in Year 1 of Ryan Odom, about our new-look UVA Basketball program. The key points from Alan: We were bullied, even taking into account the whistle swallowing. If we’re not gonna run a scheme like the Pack Line, better brainstorm fast how we’re going to get stops in league play.

Shocker, right, that I got emails from a trove of White guys who think a young Black man named J’Mari Taylor should consider it a privilege to entertain them. How dare the kid prioritize his future earning potential when our favorite college football team needed him out there to win an exhibition game. That, you know, they won anyway, without him.

Two years after graduating from Waynesboro High School, Reggie Harris was taken by the Oakland A’s in the 1989 Rule 5 draft, and he made the team – the defending World Series champs – out of spring training in 1990.“I’m just watching the previous World Series that year, in ’89, the earthquake series with San Francisco, and two weeks later, I’m on that team,” said Harris, who joined me to talk about his baseball career on the “Street Knowledge” podcast this week.

Andrew Hypes has spent the last two years travelling all over the world: Paris, London Romania, Vegas, Poland and California, to name a few. After growing up in Waynesboro, Virginia, population 23K, it’s a little surreal: working in Dr. Dre’s studio, flying on private planes, standing in front of the Eiffel Tower – the real one, not the one at Kings Dominion – all stemming from his role as the official DJ for Justin Timberlake’s recently wrapped “The Forget Tomorrow World Tour.”

It’s UVA-Virginia Tech football week, so I got the gang together to preview the game, and we do, eventually.But first: why are tickets so ridiculously expensive? Scott German joins me to rain down furious anger on the folks at UVA Athletics, who seem intent on money-grabbing us out of a big crowd for the Saturday primetime game. Then we direct some upset at the medical staff, for allowing Kam Robinson to return to the Duke game and tear his ACL. Dumb, just dumb stuff. I promise that we break down

Chris Graham and Scott German get back together via podcast to review their preseason UVA Football prognostications, which, it turns out, were way off. The guys thought 7-5 or 8-4 was possible, which at the time got them banished to the edge of the Fringe Media. Now at 9-2, they’re on the other side – yeah, they foresaw a good season, but not this good. Lots to chew on here, obviously.

West Virginia trying to mooch off of us

The West Virginia governor, Patrick Morrisey, and a Mountain State legislator, Chris Rose, think they see an opportunity to mooch off our prosperity. Morrisey, last week, in the hours after our Blue Wave state elections, sent a message to the red counties in Virginia via Facebook, assuming that he feels their frustration. “It’s about to get awful blue in the Commonwealth of Virginia,” wrote Morrisey, a Brooklyn-born, New Jersey-bred Rutgers alum who only moved to West Virginia, and Harpers Ferry –

Kyle Larson snuck his way into his second NASCAR Cup Series title, winning in OT after a late wreck changed the calculus for Denny Hamlin. And now, we have lots of questions. Will NASCAR put the kibosh on the playoff system? What happens in the antitrust lawsuit challenging the charter system? There’s that, there’s the beginning, in earnest, of the silly season. So much to break down.

The CDC tells us that one in four girls and one in 13 boys are, right know, as you read this, victims of sexual abuse – basically, let’s just call it what it is, child rape.Do the math, and it’s not good – we’re talking about 14 million girls, 3 million boys. Let that sink in: 17 million kids, in this country, our kids, raped. We only know about a fraction of these cases, because 90 percent of child-rape cases involve a perpetrator who is known to the victim – a parent, close family member, family

It’s looking more and more like NASCAR is going to have to settle the suit challenging its charter system, not so much to save face, but to at least have a hand in setting the future direction of its business model. Rod Mullins joins me to discuss the latest in the charter suit, which is playing out against a backdrop of the final race of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, the Championship 4 finale in Phoenix.

Healthcare isn’t a red or blue issue, says Pete Barlow, an Augusta County Democrat running for Congress in the 2026 midterms cycle.Farmers having markets closed to them because of the Trump tariffs – not a red or blue issue. FEMA not being there to respond to natural disasters – not red or blue. But for Democrats in Western Virginia to be able to be a part of the solutions, we need to open up the tent. “We always talk about being a big tent party.

When Lisa Vedernikova Khanna called her Russian immigrant mother a few months ago to tell her that she was running for Congress, mom was, let’s just say, a tad bit disappointed. “She was hoping that I was pregnant,” said Khanna, who went public last week with that news – that she is expecting, and due in February, meaning, she’s now running for Congress and about to become a first-time mother.

Denny Hamlin, who won Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series playoff race in Las Vegas, was described by our Rod Mullins as downright “humble” post-race, which leads to the question: did somebody do something to our Denny Hamlin? Rod joins the show to discuss. We also go in depth on the latest development in the NASCAR charter lawsuit, which appears to be headed to trial in December – though I wonder if NASCAR might be better advised to settle ahead of time, instead of allowing a judge to decide how the series
