TechSideline.com lead analyst Chris Coleman joined The Fast Lane on Monday, September 21 and discussed:

- When was the last time he had this much fun covering and watching Virginia Tech Hokies football?
- How much the win at Maryland is the James Franklin effect of out coaching your opponent with similar talent?
- How much is saying (on the TSL podcast on Monday, 9/22/26) that Luke Reynolds is already the greatest TE in Virginia Tech history is due to production? Raw talent?
- Are the Virginia Tech coaches already presuming Reynolds is 1-and-done in a Hokies uniform (because he will be entering the 2027 NFL Draft)?
- What’s the greater concern for Saturday’s game at Boston College: sleepy environment or inclement weather? (a game you can hear on 93.3 FM Lynchburg + the VTRN Sports app!)
- What’s the ceiling now for the 2026 Hokies?
- Why it’s great for Virginia Tech fans to be sipping on some hope-ium!
