🔼 Don’t Believe Everything You Hear. Sometimes, the internet isn’t always right. We know it’s tough to believe, but it’s true.

Despite any rumors swirling, the ODU football program will once again host the Hokies of Virginia Tech in Norfolk next fall as part of one of the best home slates in history.

The great Harry Minium breaks down the schedule and much more in the latest edition of Max with Minium.

🔼 Head Of Their Class. Next week, the ODU swim team hits the pool at the Sun Belt Championships.

Not only are they keeping up their speed in the water, they’re also keeping up their success in the classroom as well.

Recently, the Monarchs were named a Scholar All-American squad by the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America.

🔼 Bounce Back Time. Not how many times you get knocked down, it’s how many times you get back up.

After a tough weekend on the hardwood for the ODU hoops squads, both programs return to action tonight in Sun Belt showdowns.

The Lady Monarchs return to Norfolk to host Troy in a matchup of two of the league’s top four teams in the standings. The men’s team hits the road once again and is headed south to battle Southern Miss, who has lost three straight entering tonight’s matchup.
