Sports Drink
Everything UVA for Sports Drink. Hosted by Robert Elder and Dustin Jones about their love affair with UVA, sports, and UVA sports.
The Guys discuss the basketball team, how it would look and feel if Tony Bennett used a platoon system, and the upcoming non-conference schedule for the Men's team. NOTE: this podcast was recorded in the afternoon on Sunday, 11/13. We had a football discussion at the end, but felt best that it was taken out.

It's been a while since our last recording, and we promise that it's not because we don't love you or that we were super salty about losing in the first round of the NCAA Tournament (not fully at least). We come back with a vengeance, and talk about how Dustin made a silly mistake, how there are so many transfers, and we even get a little bit of football talk in there. Also Dustin hangs up on Rob halfway through, so that's fun.
See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Guys then dive deep into how the other ACC teams are playing so far in conference play (if you like surprising takes, you're not going to like the top or bottom portion of the ACC).
