Is there a way to download the podcast to my phone? Last time I listened to it through the link in the thread, but I’m about to get on a plane and I doubt I’ll be able to play it that way on the plane. Sorry, I’m technologically behind the times when it comes to podcasts.

Good work guys, another great episode. I am on Timo’s side of the Jack White argument. I love his versatility off the bench. No matter what happens in the first few minutes and who needs to be subbed out, Jack White is an option. That is not the case if he’s already in the game. I love the dynamic he brings as a 6-man and as you both agreed, it really doesn’t matter all that much whether he starts or is first off the bench. If it breaks we’ll evaluate fixing it but for the time being....

I do get the concern about slow starts but I feel Hokie may be overselling the value of Jack White in those specific situations. If a team is going to jump out 12-0 on us, Jack White being in the game is not going to prevent that. Maybe he hits a 3 and it’s 12-3, idk, I don’t see his presence being that big of a factor in that situation.

Chov I would have to go along w/Timo on that point.....Have to give it a listen!

I’ll take all of your apologies when we win a title and Jack is starting helping lead us all the way. :p

Just finished the pod, probably my favorite episode yet. The Jack White discussion was great and not something us diehards are able to access through ESPN or any other outlet.

Let me know if you ever need a guest appearance, I’d love to come on, still got all my equipment from the NBA podcast I used to do with friends. “Called Bank” on ITunes is where you can find it.

We figured this week (and last weeks lost podcast) would be tough for a guest with the holidays. Now that we are coming into ACC season we will want to have a guest every week. Thanks for listening!

Okay, I just finished listening to the podcast, and it was excellent! A good discussion about Jack White either starting or coming off the bench. I see points both ways, but I have to side with Timo...I love seeing Jack coming off the bench to spark us with whatever we need. And unfortunately, I agree with both of you about UVA winning the conference...but that's just not as important as it used to be. I think we're built to win the ACC tourney and the NCAA tourney, if we can avoid injury.
Again, great show guys, looking forward to the next one!

Oh, one thing...are you sure you guys aren't OFC'ers? I mean...forgetting to hit the record button for a podcast!:D

I think Jack should continue coming off the bench. He’s the perfect sixth man. He can see the flow of the game and come in ready to go. I believe Bolden should be our starter just to set the tone defensively. He’s our rim protector. Based on matchups, him and Javin can rotate starting. The warriors started zaza for most of those titles. We all knew Iggy was the fifth best player but they used him off the bench as a change of pace guy. When Jack comes in our pace changes. It’s perfect how we have it

Really great again guys
Thank you sir! Already pumped to get another one out this week after the Clemson game. We will aim to have one out by thurs morning each week so that we can recap the games the week prior and the ones coming up (based on dukes schedule).

I made it all the way until the predictions for FSU & Syracuse...saving that for later today. I want to say that both of you compliment one another so well...it's just a great rapport (which makes me want to listen to your podcasts). I can feel the DI vibe flowing through the podcast with the discussions.
Of course I loved the dunk sessions...great memories there. I also feel a little better about Isaiah Stewart now...don't let me down guys!;)

Keep up the great work, I certainly appreciate it, and I believe most posters on here do too. Looking forward to finishing up on the predictions.
