• 4:25
  People the numbers based on that episode, we're people were into that big tad.
• 4:31
  They liked the over under aspect of it, so that that's that's really
• 4:34
  good. I'm happy to see that, of course. And and so as
• 4:43
  we said on Thursday, since that was the first go round with over Unders,
• 4:49
  we've got part two kind of sort we didn't call the episode part two,
• 4:53
  but we're gonna do part two. So what do you got? How
• 4:56
  many were doing? How many you doing? How many we doing? How
• 4:57
  when you're doing let's go, what's the first one? I got my three
• 5:00
  second jingle? Hang? I'd like doing a three second jingle? All right,
• 5:03
  what's first? Now? You like the jingle? Hold on? Just
• 5:05
  hold on? First of all, I've got two of them, one offense,
• 5:10
  one defense, we're not doing that yet. Don't bury the lead.
• 5:12
  Don't bury the lead. Don't skip ahead once again, you have no idea
• 5:16
  what the agenda is or how we're supposed to maneuver through this show. Let
• 5:18
  me help you. Kerchival's not here. I know you're already thrown off.
• 5:23
  The scrimmage was I would like to discuss the scrimmage a little bit. I'm
• 5:28
  sure the listeners would like to hear the scrimmage a little bit. You were
• 5:30
  there, I attended. Okay, good, let's talk scrimmage. They did.
• 5:36
  They did. Okay, this is gonna be a deposition, So now
• 5:39
  I gotta ask questions. You're not just gonna volunteer information, because I got
• 5:41
  questions. One of the best memories that I have from Saturday's scrimmage is the
• 5:48
  fact that there were a good number and people probably have seen this on social
• 5:53
  media by now, there were a good number of members of the nineteen eighty
• 5:59
  three Ish mountaineer team, and they were all sitting together in a group.
• 6:05
  Okay, and so they're together and they're having a good time, and they're
• 6:11
  hanging out and just you can look down there. You can see several familiar
• 6:14
  faces down there, and then and then the man walks in. The man
• 6:20
  comes into the into the house, Coach Neilan. So he comes in and
• 6:27
  he's got he's got this guy with him, you know, Bill ll Bill,
• 6:30
  Bill handles and so Bill brings them. They go up into the steps
• 6:34
  and and he he goes up into the stands where those guys are sitting,
• 6:40
  and they basically encircle him, and it's just a hug fest. It was
• 6:46
  just a hug fest. They were they were right, Coach Neelan. He
• 6:49
  you could tell, you mean, from a distance, I could tell that
• 6:54
  he was happy and they were getting they were hugging him. I mean,
• 6:57
  there was some There was a bunch of good guys there. I mean West
• 7:00
  the Hammer Turner, who we talked about not all that long ago. I
• 7:04
  don't know was it here that we talked about. So West Turner, who's
• 7:10
  a uniontown guy, right knocked out Troy Stratford on a kickoff return. That's
• 7:15
  right. It wasn't with you. It was the previous Saturday night when I
• 7:17
  was sitting there with Tim ag and Undra and Pecan. We were talking about
• 7:21
  the time West Turner knocked out Troy Stratford on a kickoff return out boom.
• 7:28
  And he was just a baby back then, like a freshman. And then
• 7:30
  he became a boxer. Became a boxer and beat West Virginia defense West Virginia
• 7:38
  heavyweight champ Big Sam scatt over in Westover, and I talked to him about
• 7:42
  that fight. Anyway, west was there? He lives in South Carolina now.
• 7:46
  David Grant, great nose guard for the Mountaineers who played a bunch of
• 7:49
  years in the NFL. Was there. Running back John Hollifield was there?
• 7:55
  Another running back of note, Pat Randolph. Pat Randolph beats and State in
• 8:01
  eighty four, and I talked and I said, dude, can you believe
• 8:05
  he goes Okay, it's crazy forty years, I says, I can't believe.
• 8:09
  It's just crazy. So hollow Field and ran Larry Holly speaking of Penn
• 8:13
  State. Larry had an interception in the eighty four game against Penn State.
• 8:18
  Two interceptions in that game. Larry had one near sideline Mountaineer side of the
• 8:22
  field, and rich Rod Rich Rod had one as well in that game.
• 8:26
  Larry's might have been a little bit more. I mean it was right at
• 8:30
  a key moment of the game. So Larry was there, and jeez,
• 8:35
  I don't want to miss any of those other guys, but there was a
• 8:39
  handful of guys there and so that was great. So they had a wonderful
• 8:41
  time. That was one of my great memories just to see that because those
• 8:46
  guys, you know, they were the building blocks and talking with Pat.
• 8:50
  When Pat Randolph played here, the hospital side of the stadium was a hill
• 8:58
  and people would bring blankets and the weight room side of the stadium was rackety
• 9:03
  rickety temporary bleachers and they'd bring him in before the season. I guess we're
• 9:09
  gonna sit here. I mean, you know, I'm sure they were safe,
• 9:13
  right, They never went down. That was good. So anyway,
• 9:16
  that was my highlight, Thank you very much. Saturday scrimmage. Yeah,
• 9:18
  it was good. Now I've got questions because I was there Friday. I
• 9:20
  went out to practice Friday. We had an open session, in fact,
• 9:24
  that was extended. We stayed most of the most of the practice. Saw
• 9:26
  some good things. So I'm gonna i'll sprinkle in what I saw Friday,
• 9:30
  see if it's backed up with what you saw Saturday. First, Trail and
• 9:33
  Ray guy that's gaining a lot of traction. He's rising in the Brown mentioned
• 9:37
  index he was good again on Friday when I was there, saw him make
• 9:41
  a couple of catches. Saturday, did you see trail and Ray doing some
• 9:46
  good things? Yes, yes, he definitely, not only Saturday, but
• 9:50
  in the practices that I've watched, continues to identify himself as someone that makes
• 10:00
  plays and needs to be on the field. He's just one of those guys.
• 10:03
  You know, we oftentimes talk about how difficult it can be to transition.
• 10:09
  And this is not to say he's gonna go out there and catch seventy
• 10:11
  five balls, but I have often said this, you know, when you
• 10:18
  know, and you know when they're young. I always go, if they're
• 10:22
  good when they're young, they're going to be really good, and they've got
• 10:26
  a chance to be great, and they've got a chance to be extremely good.
• 10:30
  They just they just do that, like when you see someone some I
• 10:35
  mean, sometimes how do we say this nicely? If a player isn't really
• 10:43
  good right from the start, more times than not, they never are great.
• 10:52
  Okay, I guess this is a fair way to say it. They
• 10:54
  might become serviceable, productive and okay start yeah maybe okay, but that's a
• 11:03
  growth thing. If they start, like you kind of go, yeah,
• 11:07
  they might be able to grow to be good. You've got a couple of
• 11:11
  linemen right now that fit that bill, correct, Zach Frasier Wyatt Milem walked
• 11:13
  in right away, and we're really good as babies, as baby as when
• 11:16
  they shouldn't have been starting started. You went, yeah, they're really good,
• 11:20
  and they're turning out to be in Fraser's case, for sure, great.
• 11:24
  Milem's right on his tail. So we're all Americans. They're a freshman,
• 11:26
  all Americans. Okay. So my point is if you start good,
• 11:31
  then that means you're going to be good, but you have a chance to
• 11:37
  be very good. Okay, So with trailing ray based in this is simply
• 11:46
  on practice. Who knows you're going to a game situation. It's a whole
• 11:50
  different world, man, Right, It's gonna be a whole different world.
• 11:54
  But chances are he's going to be a productive player from the beginning of his
• 12:00
  career. Now, what's productive is that fifteen balls? Is that thirty balls?
• 12:05
  Who knows? But he just has the it look. Okay, yeah,
• 12:11
  I think that's fair. But let's roll that right into a discussion about
• 12:15
  another baby wide receiver, because I think they're both in the same thing as
• 12:18
  we've been saying with Rodney Gallagher shows flashes could be really good, might be
• 12:22
  great by the time, but just hold on because he's probably not going to
• 12:26
  catch fifty balls right to kill Schwartz went off the charts that year with what
• 12:30
  he had forty seven? Do I have that number right? It's a true
• 12:33
  freshman, but that was under Dana's offense that threw it a ton, So
• 12:37
  that's kind of the high water mark there, So bring it back in line.
• 12:39
  So raise the same way. But then transition to Gallagher because Rodney's a
• 12:43
  guy we talked a ton about then the first week at camp got a little
• 12:48
  bit quiet, and he's a guy you're hearing more and more over the last
• 12:50
  few practices that he's starting to make some place. We've heard interviews with the
• 12:54
  coaches. They're saying how tough he is, ability to go across the middle.
• 12:58
  So both of those guys together are going to play. Both have to
• 13:01
  make plays. Group them together. Did Gallagher make some plays on Saturday?
• 13:05
  Yes, So this goes back to Thursday's press conference where Blael Marshall, the
• 13:13
  new receivers coach, said that Rodney Gallagher had I don't know if surprised was
• 13:22
  the word I'm paraphrasing, or he either surprised or he exceeded their expectations.
• 13:26
  So I think when Rodney Gallagher, it was a huge, huge deal.
• 13:31
  When Rodney Gallagher committed WV we all know that, but at the same time
• 13:35
  they also realized that, you know, there's a growth process that takes place,
• 13:41
  both physically, mentally, the whole deal. To play at this level,
• 13:43
  you just don't know. You just don't know until they get on the
• 13:48
  field against the bigger, more mature, older players, you don't know and
• 13:54
  stop real quick. He was such an elite basketball player. He played hoops
• 13:58
  late, so we got a little later start here. One to remember,
• 14:01
  he wasn't a receiver last year in he he had played quarterback most of the
• 14:03
  last couple of seasons, so he also had that learning curve on top of
• 14:07
  just being here for the first time. So like if Rodney Gallagher were a
• 14:11
  stock, if he were in equity, he I think West Virginia bought him
• 14:18
  so to speak, you know, recruited him, you buy you know,
• 14:20
  Okay, just that that didn't sound you know what I mean? You can
• 14:24
  say that now, I mean, yeah, I guess you could. Yeah,
• 14:26
  I'd say he didn't committe violation there when they when they when they acquired
• 14:30
  his services, My guests would be that they thought that they were buying a
• 14:33
  growth stock, like hey, this is really really gonna be really good for
• 14:39
  us down the road exactly when we don't know, but we know it's gonna
• 14:43
  be good, you just don't know when. And now now they're kind of
• 14:46
  looking at Rodney and I think and they're going like, he just does some
• 14:50
  things. He just has an eight intangible abilities to get away from people.
• 14:58
  Again, he's not Usain Bolt and speed straight speed, but he is off
• 15:05
  the chart I think laterally he just has wiggle about him where he can get
• 15:11
  around and buy people. And it is you pointed out, and Neil pointed
• 15:16
  this out last week. He's also and we always say, like what happens
• 15:20
  when the ninth graders plays against the twelfth graders. Well, a lot of
• 15:22
  times the ninth graders go like, oh, who is a little bit too
• 15:24
  big for me? I don't he sticks his face in there. He'll block,
• 15:31
  he'll block, and he'll make difficult attempts to catch the ball in traffic
• 15:35
  where a lot of guys get alligator arms right kind of like kind of goes
• 15:41
  like this, they don't. All right, that's more of like a frog
• 15:45
  or something like that, you know what I mean. So anyway, so
• 15:50
  yeah, and you know who else blocked? Going back to trailing right,
• 15:54
  he'll block. He'll block, and that'll keep him on the field too because
• 15:56
  he'll block. Okay, you like both of them, all right? Encouraged.
• 16:03
  I'm staying in the receiver category here and this may foreshadow and over under
• 16:07
  coming up. Cole Taylor on Friday when we were there, made an unbelievable
• 16:12
  fifty fifty ball catch with a with a defensive back. It might have been
• 16:17
  a linebacker. Not quite sure who was on him. Somebody was draped all
• 16:19
  over him and right up with him. I mean Taylor was up fully extended
• 16:22
  and the defender was right with him. Taylor comes down with a big catch,
• 16:26
  gain of eight or ten first down, moved the six. Was a
• 16:29
  great catch. Cold Taylor see much of him on Saturday. Let me even
• 16:33
  remember seeing him Saturday and kind of like that. I mean, he may
• 16:37
  have beending it out. He may have been out. There's about eight guys
• 16:38
  or so that didn't participate. Okay, we'll come back to cold Taylor.
• 16:42
  I mean there was no Yeah, I don't remember. I don't even remember
• 16:45
  him being out. Quarterbacks, Yeah, quarterbacks. I think we're gonna be
• 16:56
  fine. I think we're gonna be fine. I felt more encouraged coming out
• 17:03
  of their Saturday than I had in any of the previous workouts, which is
• 17:07
  good. Which is supposed to happen, Right, you're supposed to go,
• 17:10
  You're supposed to be going like this as a team. You're supposed to be
• 17:11
  getting into sink and things like that. Yeah, I saw plays from both
• 17:17
  of those guys that were very productive. And you know, Garrett's playing like
• 17:25
  a guy that the light bulb has gone on and he's totally comfortable with what
• 17:30
  they're asking him to do. Okay, that's one last one. That's fine.
• 17:36
  That's good offense defensively overall defense, so hard, so hard. All
• 17:44
  right, let me ask you a specific question. We're guys running amuck in
• 17:48
  the defensive backfield wide open m. We had one blown well, no,
• 17:52
  it wasn't a blown covers. It was a man on man pass that hit
• 17:55
  big but the guy was there, he just got be So the offense is
• 17:57
  having to work for things when they get their yards. That's that's I'm being
• 18:03
  serious. That's an improvement from last year at times, right where so many
• 18:06
  times guys were just beaten deep across the middle. There were big swatches of
• 18:10
  green turfy saw guys running. So that's an improvement right there. If you're
• 18:12
  in a scrimmin situation, the offense isn't just running them buck. No,
• 18:15
  No, it wasn't. But that's the hardest thing to tell. That means
• 18:21
  guys defense really good. I know, I know, the same old thing
• 18:22
  we talked about. You don't know until you know, and you won't know
• 18:26
  probably for three or four weeks exactly who and what you are, right because
• 18:30
  you're gonna go from a top ten team and Penn State on the road against
• 18:33
  the team in a lower division in week number two, and then you know,
• 18:40
  you'll you won't have a feel you'll see two extremes. You will.
• 18:42
  But here's how, here's how I would try and look at that in a
• 18:45
  time when yeah, that's right, it's hard to get a sense of what
• 18:48
  you're looking at. The offense if it can, if it can improve from
• 18:52
  last year, but it doesn't to expect this offense to sudden they turn into
• 18:55
  the best in the Big twelve is unrealistic fair, but it can get better
• 18:59
  and get over when at average last year thirty one points a game somewhere like
• 19:02
  that, you can get up into that thirty five thirty six. You can
• 19:03
  make an improvement and it might not show up now. But that defense,
• 19:07
  if it's gonna if the defense was going to come backwards, I think you'd
• 19:11
  see bigger holes right now. Chances are it's going to be better than last
• 19:15
  year. Now it's just that sliding scale. How much better. The fact
• 19:18
  that the offense isn't just dominating them makes me feel like he got some a
• 19:21
  chance for some improvement defensively. A couple other thoughts, Okay, C J.
• 19:26
  Donaldson, he's just different because when you're used to seeing a particular body
• 19:32
  build at that running back spot, he's just so different. And when he
• 19:37
  gets when he gets his shoulders squared up and he starts to go, it
• 19:41
  takes work to get him down. It just takes work to get him down.
• 19:45
  So he's just a whole different compliment to that, which just to me.
• 19:48
  All that means to me is it makes it interesting, It makes it
• 19:52
  intriguing to see. Okay, you know a year ago, you open the
• 19:56
  season and no one knew who he was. Obviously, Pitt didn't know how
• 20:00
  West Virginia was going to try to use him. Now he's on tape obviously,
• 20:04
  so now you have to figure something out exactly what are we gonna do
• 20:07
  for him? That's one one and things. So when he runs, he
• 20:11
  you know, he's still a big He's a big, strong guy, which
• 20:14
  is fun to see. The other thing is, you know, Justin Johnson
• 20:18
  always runs hard, whether it's Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
• 20:22
  Friday, every time that kid has touched the ball for West Virginia,
• 20:25
  he runs really really hard, which is really good to see. But the
• 20:29
  guy that made me keep going like a bunch of this is interesting, this
• 20:37
  is good is DJ Oliver m. Yeah, he got a little he got
• 20:47
  a little something to him. He got a little something to him. Now
• 20:49
  I just talk about how big Donaldson is, so DJ, you know,
• 20:53
  he goes into that shorter variety. He's like he's a compact C. J.
• 21:00
  Donaldson, if that makes sense. He's low to the ground. My
• 21:06
  gosh, he runs hard, he explodes, he explodes. Now how's he
• 21:11
  figure in? I mean, right now, that's a loaded room. That's
• 21:14
  a loaded room. If Jayleen Anderson, if Justin Johnson, if C.
• 21:17
  J. Donaldson are healthy, and Heisman front runner Jaime White's Jahime got about
• 21:22
  him? He Heisman front runner Jaime White. Then like, I don't know,
• 21:26
  so, like this is that classic case where just like patients just hang
• 21:32
  in there. But he he got a little something to him. It's interesting.
• 21:34
  We have not compared notes. No from Friday Saturday did not speak Friday
• 21:41
  small sample size one drill. I happen to be standing where the running backs
• 21:44
  are just a drill on air running through banks. He was the one that
• 21:48
  I went, oh, now, coaches always like it when your speed's different,
• 21:52
  even when it's in drills. He ran the drill fast. Caught my
• 21:56
  eye. J explodes And do you remember when we had him on when he
• 22:00
  first committed, or had him or his coach on. I think it was
• 22:03
  the coach. He's the big hunter. He's the big hunter. Oh yeah,
• 22:08
  yeah, they said yeah. Like I was talking to someone there Saturday.
• 22:11
  They said, if he could, his game pants would be camouflage like
• 22:17
  that. He just wants to hunt. And I said, well, this
• 22:18
  is really good. This is really good because I'm gonna go to my phone
• 22:23
  when I see him, and I'm gonna show him my board kill the sleeping
• 22:27
  boar kill. That thing was sleeping when I got done with it. You
• 22:32
  think, do you think he will be impressed that you shot it while it
• 22:33
  was sleeping. I'm not gonna say that that's your that's your angle to the
• 22:37
  whole story. I'm gonna say I might adjust it to it was attacking me.
• 22:44
  Might adjust it to that thing was snoring, you say, And I
• 22:51
  shot the only boar out there that had COPD, not not COPD? The
• 22:59
  what do you call the sleep thing? Apnea? Immense sleep. The boarheads
• 23:03
  sleep from here, you know. The Donaldson thing. I think what we
• 23:08
  may have forgot last year is him being back and assuming he can stay healthy,
• 23:15
  which I realize is a big assumption for a guy that has to run
• 23:18
  like he runs up into line so often. The third and fourth down options
• 23:23
  for this team. I continue to say this, the playbook should expand this
• 23:27
  year because you've got these options with the mobile quarterback with him right west Virginame's
• 23:33
  top five last year and fourth down conversions gives you some options on third and
• 23:37
  fourth and short here behind that line with a big back like that. Yeah,
• 23:41
  and if this is going to be the running team that we think it's
• 23:45
  going to be, you need five running back sure. Now, as crazy
• 23:48
  as that sounds, and you're going like there's no way, no, just
• 23:52
  yes is the answer. How many times have we seen where we've gone into
• 23:56
  years and go like, how are you going to keep all those backs happy?
• 24:00
  How you gonna keep all those backs happy? And then invariably at some
• 24:03
  point in the season, right, you got to bring one of these guys
• 24:07
  up and go like, okay, everyone's for whatever reason, these guys are
• 24:11
  all down. You gotta go yeah, okay. Other thoughts anything else stand
• 24:17
  out. Punting is very strong. Punt game is very strong. Oliver Straw
• 24:23
  got a chance to be high level performer in the league. And if you
• 24:30
  were that then you're going to be up in the national rankings as well.
• 24:33
  I think his diversity and in this crazy Australian rules football stuff. Have we
• 24:40
  talked about this though? They learn how to play because people are running straight
• 24:45
  at them all the time. That's how they learn how to play. So
• 24:48
  like we look at it and go, oh my gosh, like how do
• 24:51
  they get how that guy that ball came in and they just they just took
• 24:53
  off and ran. He still got the punt off because that's how they play
• 24:56
  that game, right, And so it's like the most perfect adaptation from one
• 25:04
  sport to another, Like at what sport do you need someone to potentially get
• 25:10
  the heck out of the way and still pump the ball? What's football?
• 25:14
  But that's how that played that game. So it's perfectly suited for that.
• 25:19
  So he got a chance. And Beanie Bishop, oh, Beanie Bishop mentioned
• 25:23
  continues to show up I think in return situations along with Heisman front runner Jehem
• 25:33
  White. Okay, that's your scrimmage recap. Yeah, nice night, Nice
• 25:42
  night. Okay, now do you want to go into over under? Yes,
• 25:48
  let me do this. Wait, let me do let me, let
• 25:51
  me let me do this. By the way, can I say something before
• 25:57
  that, like we never ask people to people. We never ask our listeners
• 26:03
  viewers to hit the subscribe button on either the podcast or on the YouTube video
• 26:12
  that we put out there. Like everything I watch all those why don't people
• 26:17
  always why do they always ask why? Like the first thing they ever say
• 26:19
  is like hit hey, punch the subscribe button, hit the subscribe butt.
• 26:22
  Hey, you see that subscribe. But why is that? Why do they
• 26:25
  always do that? We never do that? Is that's something we're missing,
• 26:26
  So we should do that more? You think? What do you think?
• 26:30
  Probably? Right? Probably? Go ahead? Okay, Hey, if you're
• 26:34
  a Big Three Guys listener, if you catch the audio version, subscribe wherever
• 26:38
  you listen to your podcast, and if you watch it on the YouTube's please
• 26:44
  hit the subscribe button. Thank you? All right, go ahead? All
• 26:48
  these good? Huh? Are these good? Are these good? Over unders?
• 26:52
  Yeah? I think so. I've got two of them. I've got
• 26:53
  one offense, one defense. Give you a hint earlier. The first one's
• 26:57
  gonna be about Cole Taylor and tight ends. Didn't we have an overrun around
• 27:03
  tight ends last year? Probably? I don't remember. You think I remember
• 27:07
  last year? No? So here part of the I'm intrigued with Taylor from
• 27:14
  the from the size aspect. And we've said this over the Neil Brown tenure
• 27:18
  here, it just it seemed like, because of the Michael Laughlin injury,
• 27:22
  the tight end was never featured as much in this offense as Neil would probably
• 27:26
  like it to be fair right, there were times when when a lawflan in
• 27:30
  particular was healthy that They tried to get him the football and it was a
• 27:33
  real weapon, but he just couldn't stay healthy on incredibly bad injury luck for
• 27:37
  Michael Laughlin. So now that you have a big, long, pass catching
• 27:42
  tight end, how much are you going to be able to use him in
• 27:45
  particular? And I know Traylan Davis, they like him, and you've got
• 27:48
  some things you can do formationally, But let's stay with Taylor for a second.
• 27:52
  Okay, Yeah, So what I did before I got to Taylor specifically,
• 27:56
  I went back since Neil has arrived and compiled some overall numbers on the
• 28:00
  tight ends historical data last four years, four seasons. Okay, here's what
• 28:06
  I found, And the last four seasons combined, West Virginia has had sixty
• 28:11
  three catches for four hundred and ninety one yards and just two touchdowns out of
• 28:15
  the tight end position. Fifteen catches a year fifteen point eight rounded up fifteen
• 28:21
  point seven five round eight on average, fifteen point eight receptions per year,
• 28:25
  one hundred and twenty two point eight yards receiving on the year, and an
• 28:30
  average of half a touchdown per season. Paltry numbers that you would think paltry
• 28:36
  should go up. So it brings me to this, not to thinking.
• 28:41
  Can Cole Taylor double the average number of receptions from the last four seasons all
• 28:49
  by himself over under thirty one and a half catches under in twenty twenty three?
• 28:57
  Did I go? Did I answer too quick? Yeah? Thirty one?
• 29:00
  Man, it's two two and a half a game. I'm thinking too,
• 29:07
  I'm thinking twenty four, twenty five. I'd be interested to see what
• 29:14
  you're taking. You've got unproven receivers. Devin Carter's really your only guy that's
• 29:18
  done it at this level consistently. You're gonna need to find some guys to
• 29:23
  throw it to. We just mentioned two of your more talented guys are true
• 29:27
  freshmen. Yeah, right, so they're not going to catch a ton of
• 29:30
  balls. Most likely someone's gonna have to catch passes. Thirty one and a
• 29:38
  half, you're under Basically, you're saying two and a half a game.
• 29:51
  It's I think your number is good. It'll be a variance between I'm gonna
• 29:57
  go, It'll be a variance between twenty five. You know, the bad
• 30:03
  news about these podcasts is like this isn't just like old school radio where it
• 30:07
  just goes in the air. No one can remember what you say, like,
• 30:08
  they'll come back and they'll track this. Now. Yeah, that's the
• 30:11
  fun of this. That's the fun of this. So I think the very
• 30:17
  a half per game, my variance would be twenty five two max would be
• 30:23
  thirty six. That would be three a game. That would be my max.
• 30:30
  I think your numbers intriguing. But I'm gonna say, what was the
• 30:41
  number thirty one and a half over under total receptions? You've already said under.
• 30:49
  He answered it in four seconds I did. I'm going I'm gonna stay
• 30:52
  with under. I hope I'm wrong. I really want to say over.
• 30:59
  It's probably under. That probably is the way to go, because that's a
• 31:03
  bit again, a lot of a lot of the lack of production I think
• 31:06
  has been just because of injury. Unders probably right, that's probably a tick
• 31:14
  too high to get all the way to thirty two catches. After last year
• 31:18
  you had sixteen total. Twenty eight and a half would be a really,
• 31:22
  really tough number to go around. It's probably under. Although I think I
• 31:26
  think he's gonna he's gonna have to play a role. Yes, okay,
• 31:30
  this isn't an official one, but kicking around the touchdown number, I was
• 31:36
  gonna have the touchdown number higher. But what about two and a half over
• 31:41
  under touchdowns for him? Again some history. You just had one last year
• 31:48
  combined. I'm sorry you had zero last year with a Laughlin trailin Davison Pollende
• 31:53
  you had. You had zero in twenty twenty one, you had two in
• 31:59
  twenty twenty, and you had zero in twenty nineteen. And three of Neil's
• 32:02
  four years, the tight ends clout zero touchdowns. Three he'll score three touchdowns.
• 32:07
  See, I feel like that's over two. Here's why he feel like
• 32:09
  he's got his that big target down inside the goal line. Don't throw the
• 32:14
  quarterback rolling out getting it up. Yes, don't throw the fade to a
• 32:20
  wide out, throw the fade to cold Taylor. Just throw it up.
• 32:23
  Stop with the fade. Just don't just throw it up. Throw the jump
• 32:28
  all up to cold Taylor and let him go swap it there or roll him
• 32:30
  with Garrett and then if the defender drops, then Garrett touchs and rents.
• 32:32
  I think I think it make I think he can get some touchdowns. You
• 32:36
  think if they work on that pretty good, you think he might be able
• 32:37
  to go up there and just one hand one down. Once you know what
• 32:40
  I mean, just kind of Taylor just kind of go up there and just
• 32:44
  grab it and just bring it down to the roar of the crowd. The
• 32:46
  band plays reverberates around the stadium, people dancing in the blue lots. Big,
• 32:52
  just send him down there and block out. Yeah, post up somebody
• 32:57
  get wide. Yeah, I think he. I think he can. He
• 32:59
  can be huge on down in third, fourth down and touchdowns, all right,
• 33:01
  So under on catches over on touchdowns. Even though that was an unofficial,
• 33:06
  yeah, unofficial. You want to think if I have another one,
• 33:10
  if I asked a trivia question about the tight ends, do you think do
• 33:14
  you think our listeners would cheat and look it up or do you think they
• 33:17
  would just text us their initial thought? Cheat? Cheat? What do you
• 33:28
  got? The tight end with the most touchdown receptions in the last decade,
• 33:35
  so twenty thirteen through last season, the West Virginia tight end that has the
• 33:40
  most touchdown receptions in that time is fill in the blank and text us,
• 33:45
  what's that text number? Three zero four four zero four forty eighty three.
• 33:54
  Three zero four four zero four forty eighty three. That's three h four four
• 33:59
  h four four eighty three. And I really hope that's the right number.
• 34:01
  Oh look it is three or four, four or four forty eighty three.
• 34:04
  Okay, text us West Virginia tight end with the most touchdown receptions over the
• 34:07
  past decade twenty thirteen to twenty twenty two. Okay, okay, got it.
• 34:12
  I'll reveal the answer next week. Okay, ready, second one,
• 34:15
  hang on, hit it. Let's talk interceptions. Shall we not us gaining
• 34:25
  them or us throwing them gaining? Oh? Okay, all right, cool,
• 34:30
  because it's clear West Virginia's got to have better luck and production in the
• 34:35
  turnover department. Struggled last year in turnover margin. In the first three seasons
• 34:40
  under Neil Brown, West Virginia average ten point three interceptions per season, almost
• 34:50
  one per game. In twenty twenty two, the Mountaineers only had four on
• 34:54
  the season, So first three years average ten. Last year only had four.
• 35:00
  Malachi Ruffin led the team with two. Gobi Spells had one as well.
• 35:07
  This season's leader in interceptions for West Virginia, we'll have over or under
• 35:15
  two and a half i nts. The team leader will have over or under
• 35:22
  two and a half. Some more history for you. Again. Last year's
• 35:29
  leader was rough and with two. West Virginia's team leader hasn't had more than
• 35:34
  two since twenty nineteen. Keith Washington had three that season. So last year
• 35:43
  leader Head two, twenty twenty one, leader Head two, twenty twenty the
• 35:47
  leader head two, and twenty nineteen Keith Washington led with three. So this
• 35:52
  year's number two and a half over under over, someone's gonna get three.
• 36:00
  I think so too. You got a regression to the mean. Our turnover
• 36:04
  margin collectively has to regress to the mean. That's why I feel pretty confident
• 36:08
  that you're not going to be as poultry as you were last year. At
• 36:12
  ten takeaways, four picks, and six fumble recoveries. That'll go that'll be,
• 36:17
  that'll go up. That'll go up. In twenty nineteens to some interesting
• 36:22
  numbers here, twenty nineteen, five different players had to pick twenty twenty nine
• 36:28
  different players, twenty twenty one six different players last year just three different players
• 36:32
  and the reception. So it speaks to the nature of those other defenses we've
• 36:37
  seen since Neil's been here, that we're really good and productive, had multiple
• 36:40
  playmakers on the defense right last year that took a step back. Got to
• 36:45
  get back to that. This year. The inability for last season's defense to
• 36:50
  get into position and ready to play limited their ability to get interceptions. I
• 37:00
  mean, it was just such a cluster and there are times, I mean,
• 37:04
  how can you get pass rush if you're not set? How can you
• 37:06
  How can you defend or cover guys if you're not properly perfectly aligned pre snap?
• 37:13
  You can't. So as a result, you're out of position to start.
• 37:15
  How are you gonna get picked? Hero is trying to make up grounds
• 37:17
  and not a position to make these plays. And I think it's it's further
• 37:22
  evidence or provides further hope for this season that that defense rebounds and looks more
• 37:28
  like it does did during Neil's first three years than what it did last year.
• 37:31
  Last year was the clear outlier in terms of production, turnovers, forced,
• 37:37
  big plays. It should return back to that this year, you would
• 37:40
  think, correct, So I'm with you. I think the team leader goes
• 37:45
  over two and a half. Comax Business Systems is not your local copier guy.

• 41:00
  starting to populate I'm sure it's getting chilli. Friday night, I was out
• 41:02
  then all of a suddenly got chilly in the air, as I predicted by
• 41:07
  the way leaves are falling. Texter, Hello Tony, Hello Tony Adam from
• 41:15
  Weirdon. I wanted to say I really enjoyed you as our guest speaker Thursday.
• 41:20
  He's up there and weird and I spoke at weird and spoke to Hancock
• 41:22
  County Schools Thursday last Thursday. I'm heading into my third year of teaching coaching
• 41:28
  in Hancock County. I'm going to be teaching WV history this year, and
• 41:31
  I can't wait to teach the kids about this great state. Side note,
• 41:36
  I'm hoping Weirdon can get some Kircheveil sometime soon. Anyway, take care,
• 41:40
  and I'm looking forward to more Three Guys episodes. We have had just the
• 41:45
  worst time, horrific job on our part of getting Kirchivel to the northern Panhandle.
• 41:50
  I mean, you can't get it up there. Good work on that,
• 41:52
  yeah, Texter, Three Guys. I'm not sure if I should be
• 41:57
  suspicious or impressed at the salesman's techniques at Daniel's Men's store. Any this will
• 42:04
  be interesting. Of course, the Senator helped me pick out the very best
• 42:07
  WV apparel while I was there yesterday, utilizing the ongoing Three Guys promotion.
• 42:12
  Of course, to my surprise, when I get home, I see the
• 42:15
  Country Roads Trust just released their new POLO. Now, I'm not accusing the
• 42:19
  sales staff of anything, but I think they withheld this information for me hours
• 42:22
  before release, knowing I would have to return. Needless to say, the
• 42:27
  new Country Roads Trust polo looks amazing and people better get them while they're still
• 42:30
  in stock. Well, there it is right there, that's the Country Roads.
• 42:34
  That's a trust. There. I saw it. Nico and Rodney Gallagher
• 42:38
  and Garrett Green all were wearing they were modeling that. Yeah, yeah,
• 42:44
  yeah, and they're available at Daniels They're out. They were out, but
• 42:49
  he kind of is accusing you of sliding them over towards something else. I
• 42:52
  no, I mean they were out. They were sitting right there, if
• 42:55
  I'm not mistaken. Daniels had it out on Facebook too, I mean very
• 42:59
  well publicized. Yeah, so you can get whatever you want there, Texter.
• 43:04
  I worked part time at the driving range in Ogleby Park and Wheeling,
• 43:07
  which allows me to play the beautiful courses up here for free. Anyway,
• 43:12
  I stumbled across this beauty in the shop at the driving range. Since the
• 43:15
  building has been here since the nineteen sixties, I would assume the pencils sharpeners
• 43:19
  is just as old. I didn't try using it in fear of getting tetanus
• 43:22
  from all the rust on it. Yeah, there you go, man,
• 43:25
  old school pencil sharpener. And that's old school would there too, I think
• 43:30
  that's the original would. But that makes sense in a golf shop, especially
• 43:32
  I get those little teeny pencils used in your scorecard. Texter. God dang,
• 43:38
  this is another one from the Northern panel. We're getting inundated by the
• 43:40
  Northern panhandling. This famous three guys quote appeared in the latest edition of Reader's
• 43:45
  Digest. No one in the history of the English language has ever said anything
• 43:50
  respectful following with with all due respect. That was from Dave Koenig, a
• 43:54
  comedian on Dry Bar Comedy, and John S. Marshall contributed that he also
• 44:00
  send us a picture of that quote. But John, your picture was three
• 44:04
  quarters sideways, and I did not have the technical acumen or the desire to
• 44:08
  flip it around to make it straight. So rather than making people turned her
• 44:12
  head like that, I just wrote it out and read it texture three guys.
• 44:16
  For some reason, this round of realignment Hollywood squares has me bummed out,
• 44:22
  even though we're safe for the time being. When I think about the
• 44:24
  obvious bubble of television revue that is going to burst soon, I'm reminded of
• 44:29
  two cautionary tales. Baseball cards and beanie babies. Both were somewhat scarce.
• 44:36
  At one point, the scarcity created some value. The manufacturers of both flooded
• 44:39
  the market to gain more sales by taking advantage of the popularity in the short
• 44:44
  term, but then the scarcity was gone, along with the value and the
• 44:47
  mystique the consumers were chasing. Well, the TV networks are eliminating scarcity of
• 44:52
  big matchups. When a high estate plays a powerhouse every week, it's not
• 44:55
  going to be special, especially when they're seven and five. We're watching TV
• 45:00
  networks make one of the biggest blunders in business history right before our eyes.
• 45:07
  Well, it's it's the NFL A vacation of the college game, which you
• 45:14
  know, I think it forgets some things there. It feels like it's easier
• 45:16
  to watch NFL games, if you don't have a team in the mix,
• 45:20
  people are more likely to do that. And number two, I think people
• 45:23
  underestimate fantasy football part of NFL that helps draw. Right, so there's a
• 45:30
  reason to watch some other games. And absolutely right, as we've said many
• 45:34
  times, I think I think these TV networks somewhere downline are making a mistake
• 45:37
  or the college administrators are making a mistake by allowing TV to control this,
• 45:40
  losing some great games, great games off the schedule. This text continues PS.
• 45:45
  I've been kicking around starting my own podcast. It would be sort of
• 45:49
  a postgame show, pregame show for three guys. I'm down to three possible
• 45:53
  names. Name one, three guys before, three guys before the game.
• 45:58
  I'd have to find two other guys name number two, three guys after three
• 46:01
  guys before the game. I don't know if I like this one because it's
• 46:06
  effectively three guys during the game, and I sort of would like to watch
• 46:08
  the game. And then number three Marcus Gori, because who didn't love Marcus
• 46:13
  GORI love the show. Signed Pete and Pennsborough. I'm probably leaned toward three.
• 46:19
  Pete Texter, Hey WV will beat Penn State. I believe the score
• 46:23
  will be twenty four to seventeen. WV goes eleven and two, I believe.
• 46:28
  Signed by Nelson Texter. I've got some numbers for you. Eleven and
• 46:32
  one, ten and two. So you heard it here first j D and
• 46:36
  Morgantown. What's that mean? He's saying eleven and one or ten and two.
• 46:39
  He's taking both those records. That's his prediction. He's optimistic. There
• 46:45
  you go, Texter. Hello, I take it you three guys haven't made
• 46:51
  the trip to the stray Cat Shimmysheck yet in Star City, because if you
• 46:57
  had already tasted the perfection and motion, I know I would have heard a
• 47:00
  response. By now, I hear the mayor of Star City is considering revising
• 47:05
  the city's name to Star Kitty because the Chimmy Chack is taking over. I
• 47:09
  love your All's channel, best West Virginia sports channel out there. By October,
• 47:14
  I will be running that business with my best friend, and I'll be
• 47:15
  back in Morgantown. Hashtag effordine. Trust me that your souls will love the
• 47:22
  Chimmy Chonga. Signed by Grayson Burg, Plymouth, Michigan, by way of
• 47:25
  Kaiser So you know where that is. No, that's where the hot dog
• 47:30
  shop. Oh yeah, yeah, so he's the hot dog shop's gone and
• 47:36
  now they painted it and he's got a little side seating area out there too,
• 47:40
  on the side. So they specialize in chimmy Chonga's what we love food.
• 47:45
  Bring some of those over there, Grayson, we'd love to try.
• 47:49
  Come on over, Texter. Correction says Cole And Raleigh County or maybe not
• 47:55
  Raleigh County, maybe Raleigh, North Carolina. Probably Raleigh, North Carolina.
• 48:00
  He says this. West Virginia had six players with a rushing touchdown last season,
• 48:06
  not five. Mathist Donaldson, Johnson Green Anderson and J. T.
• 48:12
  Daniels. Somehow he is right. Correction made noted because we're here to get
• 48:19
  things right. Text Three, guys, what are the lyrics to textual healing?
• 48:25
  I hear ooh ooh, I know, I know you feel some kind
• 48:30
  of way at my biz lane. Question mark. When you get that feeling
• 48:35
  you need textual healing, textual healing. I need help with the middle part.
• 48:39
  Clearly it isn't at my biz lane. But I can't figure out the
• 48:44
  actual lyrics for the life of me. I love the show. J D.
• 48:47
  From the southern coal fields. I don't know either, dude, but
• 48:52
  I wrote an email to the author producer of the of the of the song
• 48:59
  and he has not respond. I don't know what's going on with him.
• 49:02
  We must we must have made him mad at some point, right he probably
• 49:06
  walked? Yeah, Texter, Diehard Beckley Navy Mountaineer fan. Again, I
• 49:14
  was being tongue in cheek about running the triple option that takes discipline to run.
• 49:17
  Help me out. I spent time waiting for Goose Crowder to be given
• 49:22
  a chance. He either didn't get it or earn it. Which is it?
• 49:24
  And question is Troy, where West Virginia quarterbacks go to die? Signed
• 49:29
  by a frustrated West Virginia Naval aviator man. No, IM sure he had
• 49:36
  a chance, but obviously there were guys in front of him that he either
• 49:42
  obviously he didn't leap over or was willing to wait to leap over. So
• 49:47
  he did you know? Transfer? Texter? Hi, Tony, I've been
• 49:52
  listening to you since my time at WVU the Major Harris years. I remember
• 49:58
  you doing a postgame show from Jambe's Restaurant, enjoying the three Guys show.
• 50:02
  Question, what are your thoughts on coach Brown calling the plays in lieu of
• 50:07
  an offensive coordinator. How are you feeling about that? Seems like an important
• 50:09
  change, Thanks Michelle. Originally from Beckley, but now in Northern Virginia.
• 50:15
  I've gone on record there, Michelle as if my record or what I say
• 50:20
  matters. I'm totally good with it. Totally good with it. He wants
• 50:23
  to be that guy. He wants to have the responsibility of making sure that
• 50:29
  it's run the way that he wants it to be run, and the plays
• 50:30
  are what he wants. Totally good with it. I think it'll be a
• 50:34
  good we may be overthinking this. I think it will be a very very
• 50:37
  good relationship and communication that goes on among the offensive staff and Chad Scott.
• 50:47
  So yeah, I'm totally good with it. I thought he did a nice
• 50:50
  job of explaining his thought process there in one of his press conferences and basically
• 50:53
  just said, listen, that's the reason he got a head coaching job is
• 50:55
  because he had been a good offensive coordinator. Best seasons he's had been When
• 51:00
  he's calling the place, take control, he's calling the place. I like
• 51:02
  it. Gregg and Stewart, Virginia Rights. Hey, guys, good afternoon.
• 51:07
  Let's talk about Eddie Vester Wrennan's interview. It was so refreshing listening to
• 51:10
  him talk about how he embraces the opportunities that this country has to offer,
• 51:15
  and when asked about nil, he said it was all distractions. If only
• 51:20
  spoiled born Americans could see through the eyes of someone like him, I think
• 51:23
  w EV will be the sleeper in the Big twelve. Let's go Mountaineers,
• 51:30
  all capital letters, Texter. In the spirit of the Voice of the Mountaineers,
• 51:37
  I would like to announce the Stern Wheel episode of Three Guys on the
• 51:42
  Valley Gems Stern Wheeler in my beautiful adopted town of Marietta. June twenty nine,
• 51:46
  twenty twenty four. Ticket prices and time to be announced later. Wow,
• 51:51
  this is fun, I get it, Tony, more details later,
• 51:53
  Get on this, Brad, Chris and Marietta. So I looked up the
• 51:58
  Valley Jem Stern Wheel and I turned it over to our managing partner. That
• 52:05
  is that thing will seat a ton of people and you can actually, shockingly,
• 52:08
  you can actually go up and down the water while you're on the ship
• 52:14
  rather than just sit there and port. So thank you very much. Chris,
• 52:22
  You've already got us out of our skis on one event. You don't
• 52:23
  need to do another one that's in gym, So just chill. Thanks a
• 52:27
  lot, Chris Texter watching and listening to a lot of Texters right into the
• 52:32
  show and talk about forty team division Super Conferences. Why not expand on that
• 52:37
  in its place? The FBS one A and the FCS one DOUBLEA has worked
• 52:42
  for years. Why not expand that? After all, it was only in
• 52:45
  place for college football. Radford and Davidson can make the NCAA basketball tournaments but
• 52:52
  not compete in bowl games. They had their own league. Expand on that,
• 52:57
  create forty five to sixty four team mega league. Then have the rest
• 53:00
  either combine with the FCS or create the FPS Football Playoff Series, and then
• 53:07
  have the FBS and the FCS just keep on trucking. If Marshall, Oregon
• 53:10
  State and Lord forbid WV someday is left out, then there's at least something
• 53:15
  that's still there to play for. At the end of the day, it's
• 53:19
  football. FCS must get some ratings because ESPN has their playoffs on TV,
• 53:24
  and fans and students still care about their school. The bowls too. The
• 53:28
  schools care about winning the BFO Brady's Bowl, but does that Most of the
• 53:30
  country probably not love the show, Fellas Brian and Tampa. He's soon moving
• 53:35
  to Columbia, South Carolina. It's kind of Chip Kelly model. UCLA coach
• 53:42
  former Oregon coaches came out recently said something similar and we talked here about I
• 53:45
  said, everything's now like basically like a nonconference game. He said, make
• 53:50
  everything a nonconference game. Have two divisions FBSFCS, two different national championships among
• 53:55
  the teams that are up here. Now break that off and then have a
• 53:58
  have a go at him. Brian. The obviously, the reason ESPN broadcasts
• 54:09
  the what used to be the one Double A is just contractually that's just part
• 54:15
  of their just massive deal that they signed to do basketball and things like that.
• 54:20
  Remember this Power five football does not have an ncuble A oversight as far
• 54:25
  as the playoff goes. The Football Championship Series the FCS does. That's an
• 54:32
  NC double A sponsor championship. So there is That's one of the reasons why
• 54:37
  you do see that Texter with the football season with the Penn State just around
• 54:42
  the corner, what score would you perceive as a win for West Virginia in
• 54:45
  the event they lose under twenty down nine. Also, how many wins does
• 54:50
  Neil need to retain his job? Is six and six enough here to enter
• 54:58
  it on that at all? Let's say again, what scores you perceived is
• 55:00
  a win for the division under twenty under nine? Well, some of that
• 55:07
  has to be I get the question. We'll talk more about this in the
• 55:10
  coming weeks. The line sitting at just under three touchdowns, and I've got
• 55:17
  some numbers that will break out as we get closer to this in terms of
• 55:21
  ats and Penn State and that sort of thing. One keep it under the
• 55:23
  twenty and a half. That's a start, But I want to see how
• 55:27
  this game unfolds. Are you are you back and forth with them? Are
• 55:30
  you hanging around? Is it over right away? I think there's a lot
• 55:32
  of movement within that So I'm not going to put a score on that yet.
• 55:37
  We'll certainly talk about it afterwards, but start by by covering the number
• 55:40
  and then see how that looks as you head into the fourth quarter. Basically,
• 55:45
  what you're saying is how's it look for everything? How's it looking the
• 55:46
  game? How's it looked for the season. That's what it's going to come
• 55:49
  down it. What's it looked like. You'll know if it's if it's doing
• 55:52
  this or if it's doing that. You'll know text or Hey, three guys.
• 55:55
  Made my way into Morgantown at three o'clock in the morning this morning after
• 56:00
  a long journey from Long Island. I'm in town to officiate a wedding tomorrow
• 56:06
  and without pants to go with my jacket. Yeah, last minute. Not
• 56:12
  all too familiar with what Morgantown has to offer in that department, I quickly
• 56:15
  was reminded of my favorite podcast in a place they chat about often, Daniels
• 56:19
  of Morgantown. I did a quick Google search found they were two miles from
• 56:22
  where I'm staying. I made my way there. I was blown away by
• 56:27
  the terrific selection of mountaineer gear. It got me a shirt, oh and
• 56:30
  pants. The excellent staff got me all set for the wedding this week,
• 56:35
  and it even tailored my trousers to fit perfectly. Right then and there,
• 56:38
  while I was browsing the WVU selection. Terrific selection, terrific staff, terrific
• 56:45
  podcast. Thank you three guys and Daniels. Now I don't have to officiate
• 56:49
  the wedding in shorts. Now, I mean just another service that those through.
• 56:53
  Yeah, all right? Tech Zach from Mouskeegan, Michigan. Seems like
• 57:04
  if your last name is a color, you're destined to be good at sports.
• 57:07
  Who is your guy's favorite player that shares a last name with the name
• 57:10
  of a color. Obviously Pat White is an easy out. You ever thought
• 57:16
  about this at all? Have not? Pat White is an easy answer.
• 57:22
  Had a kid in high school name Mark mav uh troum what you Yeah,
• 57:32
  played four sports? Played four sports like high school? Probably Mark Mav Texter.
• 57:40
  Hey, three guys. Guy's name was Mark Mov. Yeah, really
• 57:45
  good athlete apparently for sport, for sports, which is hard to do.
• 57:47
  And he was big even before MAV became a popular color because Mov had it
• 57:52
  to day. I think you know that it's kind of pass through. You
• 58:07
  don't get a whole lot on it anymore. Mark was still good, really
• 58:13
  good. Hey, three guys. Troy from Charlottesville. Been a while since
• 58:19
  I've texted, but I'm listening every week at any more. Optimistic about the
• 58:22
  season. Won't be able to watch the first game this year. I'm getting
• 58:24
  married on September the second. Sadly, I have been told I'm unable to
• 58:29
  bring a TV into the barn after our wedding reception. Most of my extended
• 58:34
  family will be coming down from various parts of West Virginia, so I figure
• 58:37
  I'll be receiving regular updates. Hope we come ready to play. Let's go
• 58:40
  Mountaineers. Well, congratulations Troy on this fantastic day of your life and the
• 58:47
  marriage that's coming up there. And as you said, sadly, I've been
• 58:52
  told I'm unable to bring a television into the barn after our wedding reception.
• 59:00
  I think you're on your way for a very disjointed wedding reception, to be
• 59:02
  quite honest with you, because here's what's gonna happen, dude. You got
• 59:08
  these West Virginia people in there, they're gonna be locked in, and if
• 59:15
  you can't bring a TV, and I guarantee it, it's gonna be a
• 59:19
  cascade of iPhones and Apple Watches and you're gonna be seeing more. I mean,
• 59:22
  there might be people getting carpal tunnel by doing this the entire night,
• 59:28
  like yeah, and then you're gonna have the walkover crew and they're gonna walk
• 59:30
  over and know that your new wife doesn't want to hear it, so they're
• 59:35
  just gonna give you the sidewalk. They're gonna give you the old seventeen ten
• 59:40
  four to go in the second quarter, They're gonna give you that one.
• 59:44
  So that's where I'm saying it gets disjointed. Then you're gonna kind of and
• 59:47
  she's gonna see you kind of doing the old next shuffle, and then what
• 59:52
  happens is and I'm assuming there may be spirits and cold beers at your wedding.
• 59:58
  Once that gets going in at barn, people get more and more loose,
• 1:00:02
  and basically it'll start clandestine with like walk buys, and then it'll be
• 1:00:07
  direct shouts across the entire burn get route here and rout here. Tied it
• 1:00:13
  up seventeen seventeen forty two yard field goal, final play of the half,
• 1:00:17
  half time seven, and she's gonna get absolutely if she doesn't want the TV
• 1:00:22
  there, she's gonna get sick about it. Well, and if it's close
• 1:00:24
  tied West Virginia leading coming down the fourth crazy, you might abandon all decorum
• 1:00:30
  and just go straight game watching TV. Potentially, Well, I wonder if
• 1:00:37
  there's Wi Fi there in the barn. The greatest in a wedding reception might
• 1:00:39
  have some WiFi which will help the iPhone application. The greatest wedding disruption in
• 1:00:45
  West Virginia athletics history took place in March of nineteen ninety eight when Jared West's
• 1:00:52
  brother was getting married at the same moment that Jared West hit the shot to
• 1:01:00
  beat Cincinnati to propel West Virginia into the Sweet sixteen, and his family was
• 1:01:04
  watching, if I remember correctly, in the church getting ready to start the
• 1:01:09
  wedding, and the thing went blank on the screen just as Jared let that
• 1:01:15
  thing go. But the game was over before the wedding officially began. Yeah,
• 1:01:22
  yeah, But it was like, you know, they were probably lined
• 1:01:23
  up, you know in those lines where the one side the guys, the
• 1:01:27
  other side the girls are getting ready to come and do the meat walk up.
• 1:01:30
  There was that close to tipoff. It was right there and went snowed
• 1:01:34
  out. Young people don't know what I'm talking about when I say snowed out
• 1:01:37
  because they don't know what snow looks like on a television. But like old
• 1:01:40
  school buffering, old school it was. It was the old version of buffering.
• 1:01:44
  Yes, that's the all time disruption. Congratulations on the wedding text.
• 1:01:51
  He to the guy who says to Hoppy that playing two Power five opponents is
• 1:01:54
  not unfair if we are a top ten team. It would be even more
• 1:02:00
  were unfair if we were trying to compete for a spot in the playoff.
• 1:02:04
  What if we go Big twelve champs twelve and one with a Penn State loss
• 1:02:07
  and then get leaped over for a playoff spot by an eleven and one SEC
• 1:02:10
  team that didn't make the SEC title game. That extra Power five game doesn't
• 1:02:15
  help an average West Virginia team, nor does it make the path easier for
• 1:02:19
  a great WVU team. Signed by Troy and Long Island. He's gotta he's
• 1:02:23
  got an opinion. Are packed full of pack full of juice right there?
• 1:02:27
  Well done, Troy Texter. Oh here he comes our boy p one,
• 1:02:32
  Jason and Tulsa back two straight shows. He's getting into the road of them
• 1:02:37
  now, I don't worry he does in the summer goes quiet. Hey,
• 1:02:43
  guys, just had to Fireman's carry my bag the final two holes in this
• 1:02:46
  one hundred and four degree Tulsa heat because the straps broke so figured I'd take
• 1:02:52
  a little rest and provide the caveat for my position that we can win eight
• 1:02:55
  games, a position first reported by Matt and Tulsa. Pete Thamil didn't get
• 1:03:00
  that one. We must, he writes in all Capitol letters, run the
• 1:03:05
  ball at least forty five times a game. The twenty sixteen World Crushing Mountaineers
• 1:03:10
  averaged forty four point six, so forty five rushes per regular season game.
• 1:03:16
  I'd like to see that number go north of fifty. I'll add that my
• 1:03:20
  head coaching record does not include a single win, but it doesn't include a
• 1:03:23
  single loss either, so technically I'm undefeated. Just to point out that my
• 1:03:30
  one hundred and fifty to one bet on Harmon wasn't a fluke. I also
• 1:03:35
  had Zach Johnson at one hundred and twenty to one to win St. Andrew's
• 1:03:37
  in twenty fifteen, Kevin nah at forty five to one to win the twenty
• 1:03:43
  eighteen Greenbrier, and I picked camp Smith fifty five to one to win at
• 1:03:47
  St. Andrew's last year. And yes, all due respect to the number
• 1:03:52
  four and a half, but four and a half as a joke, absolute
• 1:03:57
  joke. Over love the show. I think he's coming after you there on
• 1:04:00
  the last part. Yeah, I mean, I get it. I was
• 1:04:01
  the first one first reported by me that the number was a little bit low.
• 1:04:04
  You know. I was looking at it that the other day when I
• 1:04:06
  went back on that, and that's the number of players to score a rushing
• 1:04:11
  touchdown for West Virginia this year. We said it, or I said it
• 1:04:14
  at four and a half to begin right, seems incredibly low. But how
• 1:04:18
  about this. In the last two plus decades, so twenty three seasons,
• 1:04:24
  there's only been eight times where West Virginia had more than four and a half
• 1:04:30
  players score a touchdown rushing touchdown on the season, So just a tad over
• 1:04:33
  one third. So if you put the number at five, well, let
• 1:04:36
  me give you another one. Four in every season under Neil except for last
• 1:04:42
  year when it was six. As pointed out by the list, I had
• 1:04:45
  five last six. So if you put the number at five and a half
• 1:04:48
  there you probably get crushed with under money. But four and a half did
• 1:04:54
  seem like a low number. So why we talked last show. I thought
• 1:04:56
  that was an unusual number, one that seemed low. You look at some
• 1:05:00
  of the other ones and maybe it wasn't We'll see. For over four decades,

  my name is Brady Crisp. I'm originally from Belle, West Virginia, Eastern

  Kanaal County. I'm a proud grat of DuPont High School class of nineteen ninety

• 1:05:50
  we go. In December of nineteen ninety two, on a blustery, cold
• 1:05:57
  Saturday afternoon, I stood beside you, Tony, and I watched my Randy
• 1:06:01
  Moss lead Panthers beat the brook Bruins thirty six to seven. You see,
• 1:06:05
  it was my sophomore year. I injured my ankle playing baseball in the previous
• 1:06:12
  summer, so I was unable to play football that year. But in order
• 1:06:14
  to stay close to the team, I was asked by the video coordinator to
• 1:06:16
  do the wide angle camera work for the games. And on Saturday, as
• 1:06:19
  you called that game for the station up in the Northern Panhandle, I worked
• 1:06:24
  the camera right beside you. This is gonna get dangerous. A couple of
• 1:06:29
  things I remember distinctly. Now it's gonna get real scary. I could tell
• 1:06:32
  you were extremely good at play by play on the tape from that game.
• 1:06:35
  If you turn the sound up, one can hear a young stirring Tony KIRITI
• 1:06:39
  call a few of the plays. Other times the sound on the VHS tape
• 1:06:42
  cuts off, which sucks because even then you were on point on the play
• 1:06:46
  by play parentheses, even if you were a little bit brook biased, But
• 1:06:50
  I won't hate you're brook biased. Yeah, I'm sure. Anyway, the
• 1:06:59
  Northern State, and I assume was signing your paycheck. I'm trying to remember
• 1:07:05
  where was that game going, Like that was obvious that was going somewhere.
• 1:07:12
  I mean, was that live to tape. Was it for real? I
• 1:07:14
  don't know. Okay, anyway, one other thing I recall, Oh this
• 1:07:16
  is good. What do you got? You were desperately trying to get your
• 1:07:21
  runner whose name I forget, to secure a postgame interview with Randy Moss.
• 1:07:28
  Your runner kept coming back with no coach. Whitman's policy was no interviews for
• 1:07:34
  individuals directly after the game, but a young Tony Kariti was not taking no
• 1:07:41
  for an answer. That's a surprise, you said to him, come on,
• 1:07:45
  and you in certain name. I really need you to come through for
• 1:07:48
  me. I watched him as he left the Lately Field press box. He
• 1:07:54
  actually asked the first time, but after that I could see him going down
• 1:08:00
  to the bottom of the bleachers, standing there for five minutes or so,
• 1:08:04
  and then walking back up, never asking anyone anything except for the press box
• 1:08:10
  coffee guy for a cup of Joe. I struggled with whether to tell you
• 1:08:15
  or not. I decided that I didn't want to get the kid in trouble,
• 1:08:18
  so I acquiesced my sincere apologies. I would love to know who that
• 1:08:24
  runner was. And do you remember how cold that day was? Wow,
• 1:08:29
  there's a whole lot there. So I had someone with me that was a
• 1:08:31
  production assistant. We said, go down, let's get Randy Moss interviewed.
• 1:08:35
  And then he went once and asked, and then he faked it out and
• 1:08:40
  just stood down at the bleachers, then came back up like he was asking.
• 1:08:43
  I'd love to know that too. I die to know who that was
• 1:08:45
  nineteen ninety two. Maybe Jeff Jenkins would remember. Maybe Jeff Jenkins would remember.
• 1:08:55
  Now you're not saying it was Jeff Jenkins that did that. Of course
• 1:08:57
  Jeff Jenkins would go down there and even probably got the team rules. Be
• 1:09:00
  damned. Yeah, exactly, Jeff Jenkins would have done that. I'd love
• 1:09:04
  to know who that was. Who knows? Does he? He said?
• 1:09:11
  Do you remember how cold that day was? I one thousand percent remember how
• 1:09:15
  cold that day was because and I have not looked at this, but I
• 1:09:19
  here's my crazy brain, here's my ready for my crazy brain. Let's go
• 1:09:24
  back and find that day. Did he give the exact day of the game,
• 1:09:28
  December of nineteen ninety two. I had to be the first. It
• 1:09:30
  had to be the first Saturday of December in nineteen ninety two. I would
• 1:09:34
  bet, I would bet that on that same day, West Virginia's basketball team
• 1:09:43
  played Maryland in the coliseum that night, and I remember leaving that game,
• 1:09:49
  jumping in my car driving up the interstate and I had to do the TV
• 1:09:56
  of the West Virginia Maryland game that night, and I remember the This is
• 1:10:00
  how I know it was cold. I never took off one piece of clothing
• 1:10:04
  the entire two hours up the road. That's how cold I was. Like,
• 1:10:09
  I can remember that like yesterday driving up the road. That was a
• 1:10:14
  playoff game, obviously championship game. Yeah, okay it was. It was
• 1:10:18
  the state first weekend in December, so you can look that up. Hey,
• 1:10:21
  Jack, our producer, did Jack to go to wvstats dot com c
• 1:10:27
  West Virginia Maryland Basketball and see nineteen ninety two what the date was, and
• 1:10:32
  if it was a Saturday. I would almost guarantee I remember doing that game
• 1:10:35
  because I remember freezing to death driving all the way up the interstate. PS.
• 1:10:41
  One word thing, this is directed toward hoppy. He asked about the
• 1:10:45
  word effording. Effording became a word when Billy Bob Thornton used it in Armageddon
• 1:10:49
  when delivering the news to the movies President of the United States that an asteroid
• 1:10:55
  maybe heading toward earth and zoom doom music destroy it. The President asked,
• 1:11:00
  is this thing going to hit us? And Billy Bob's answer was, we
• 1:11:03
  are efforting that as we speak, mister President. So there you go.
• 1:11:08
  Finally figure that one out. Texter Wayne from Fredericksburg, I'm looking into the
• 1:11:14
  past and into the future. When coach Brown arrived, the offensive line was
• 1:11:17
  bad, really bad. It's taken five years to get this promising offensive line.
• 1:11:23
  Aren't that all in this? Aren't they all in the same classy class,
• 1:11:27
  either as juniors or seniors. If that's the case, what does the
• 1:11:30
  future hold? Does history repeat itself when we go back to building an offensive
• 1:11:32
  line from scratch? Thanks, aren't they not in the same class? No,
• 1:11:42
  you're gonna lose obviously a bunch of dudes. Short answer to your question
• 1:11:46
  is this. They have been building obviously this line to what you see,
• 1:11:51
  but they've also been building behind it so they feel real comfortable, you know,
• 1:11:57
  going forward that they've got the right kind of guys going forward. Now,
• 1:12:01
  are you going to replace the experience level of a Doug Nestor and a
• 1:12:05
  Zach Frazier after this coming season? And why at MILEM can't leave yet.
• 1:12:09
  He's got to play three, so this would be one more for him at
• 1:12:12
  a minimum. So you don't lose all of them, but you do lose
• 1:12:16
  some guys. But you know, the Tomas, Remax, the Wyatt Milem
• 1:12:20
  at least for another year. After this year, there's guys there sally going
• 1:12:31
  to be a player. They feel pretty good of what they have in that
• 1:12:36
  room. But obviously what you'll lose is experience. Solomon Wiedman Texter, Hello
• 1:12:45
  Matt from Louisville. Saturday night, I watched my little cousins high school game
• 1:12:49
  in Bardstown, Kentucky. During pregame, they play Sweet Caroline. I'm in
• 1:12:54
  a pickle? Do I risk being that guy? I was with there with
• 1:12:58
  two other WV fans, So I'm proceeding to sing it the right way.
• 1:13:01
  A lot of people laughed, and then I heard a guy saying, go
• 1:13:05
  Pit Go. He was sitting right behind me. I simply asked, are
• 1:13:10
  you a pit fan? He said yes. I said, see, it
• 1:13:15
  brought us together. Thank you very much, Texter. I wanted to give
• 1:13:19
  a shout out to Tyson Baigent. He played lights out Saturday night for the
• 1:13:25
  Chicago Bears in a battle for their number two quarterbacks spot. He also ran
• 1:13:29
  in for a touchdown. Look at his numbers, pretty good, He's been
• 1:13:31
  impressive. Congratulations to Tyson. Want a fantastic story. That's developing to be
• 1:13:36
  unbelievable high school, collegiate career, and now you know, all indications are
• 1:13:43
  he's making that roster and he got people. He has people excited there in
• 1:13:47
  the Bears organization and where they've opened. The NFL's opened that quarterback position too.
• 1:13:53
  You can have a you can carry a third quarterback this year, which
• 1:13:56
  is great. So it looks like he's in great position for that. And
• 1:13:58
  as the Texter says, he's in a he's in a battle to take that
• 1:14:00
  backup job. So I was reading it's an awesome story. They used to
• 1:14:03
  be able to They used to be able to waive you and then sign you
• 1:14:08
  back onto the practice squad. But if they try to do that with him,
• 1:14:12
  he'll be get He'll go and grab him off the path. Texter Logan
• 1:14:17
  and Greenboro County. I'm excited for part two of the over Under episode.
• 1:14:23
  I haven't been this excited for a part two of a series since Harry Potter
• 1:14:27
  back in twenty eleven. I added the picture above to summarize how everything felt
• 1:14:31
  lately, not just the Big Twelve, but all of college football. There
• 1:14:35
  you go. There's a sign, he says, in case you guys are
• 1:14:39
  curious of who that is, it's Doctor Strange from the twenty Eighteens Avengers Infinity
• 1:14:45
  War. Thank you for all the work that you do. Thank you,
• 1:14:50
  thank you. Signed by Logan. Hopefully Part two lived up to the hype.
• 1:14:56
  Yeah, might have a Part three on that really might have a couple
• 1:15:00
  more Texter. The more I think about it, Tony is on right track
• 1:15:05
  with seven to eight different players scoring rushing touchdowns. Seven to eight. I'm
• 1:15:10
  predicting c J. Garrett, Justin Johnson, Jalen Anderson, Jehime White,
• 1:15:14
  Nico, DJ Oliver, maybe a receiver like a Jay, Shaun Poker,
• 1:15:17
  Rodney Gallagher. Thanks, I love the podcast, Love the over under series.
• 1:15:21
  Signed by Ryan and Scott Depot Texter receiver could happen. Sure been a
• 1:15:29
  long time twenty twelve. They got to make sure they hand it back to
• 1:15:33
  him, don't hand it forward to him because since pass. Yeah, that's
• 1:15:39
  beating it, that's cheating this system. I'm counting that as a rushing touchdown.
• 1:15:44
  No, you are not. There's not a rushing touchdown the stats and
• 1:15:47
  you're not counting it as such. That's true, Astrick, give me the
• 1:15:53
  astrick on it. Noope, Texter Stephen Mineral County found the last two cans
• 1:15:59
  of kerchev all at Chestnum brew Works on Saturday evening Stephen Mineral County. He
• 1:16:03
  sent us a picture of two Kansas Kircheville. Thanks Steve, yep. So
• 1:16:10
  it was the last two after another batch. That batch went fast, it
• 1:16:14
  did. And I was over there at the brew works at Chestnump brew Works
• 1:16:18
  last week and the brewer this wasn't Bill, this was Bill's guy. Bill
• 1:16:28
  can't do everything. I mean, you gotta have guys. Sure, And
• 1:16:32
  Bill's guy was there and he told me he had just started one either that
• 1:16:36
  day or the day before. So two more coming. Yeah, that'll set
• 1:16:42
  right up for the home opener against du Quesney in the food court. Certainly
• 1:16:48
  wouldn't want to do that food court without any Kircheville. So you're coming along
• 1:16:53
  now with food court will happen. He just committed to the food court right
• 1:16:57
  there, said, certain wouldn't want to do that food court without the Kirchel
• 1:17:00
  tongue in cheek sarcasm directed at you. It's going well, though you got
• 1:17:03
  any meetings coming up on that or anything? I think there's a meeting today,
• 1:17:08
  and there it is. In fact, I did hear that. I
• 1:17:11
  can't attend though either makes me nervous. No, you can't starts in twenty
• 1:17:14
  minutes, not because you'd probably have it. Okay, things are going swimmingly.
• 1:17:18
  That's first reported here by me on the food court. Can you imagine
• 1:17:24
  how that's going to be first game of the season. Mountaineer fans making their
• 1:17:28
  trek in across the state and beyond, and here they come, going to
• 1:17:32
  our food court, the three Guys food court, big tall kerch of ails
• 1:17:38
  being served, maybe by yourself a four pack, take it along with you.
• 1:17:44
  Rev Kev's barbecue over there, Get yourself a big ghost burger, a
• 1:17:49
  how cheese steak from the food truck. Get some I don't know. Maybe
• 1:17:55
  I'm just guessing, get some great ice cream and shakes from the Greenbrier Dairy.
• 1:18:00
  Wouldn't that be kind of neat? It all sounds wonderful. If that
• 1:18:03
  can all get done, that sounds wonderful. Let's just make it happen.
• 1:18:05
  I will have one of those cheese steaks though, Oh text her Chowamichi listening
• 1:18:12
  to the latest episode. Now, I just heard that Rusty will run Kerchivel
• 1:18:16
  to Orlando for me in his van. What a man. I will prepurchase
• 1:18:20
  the beer in West Virginia for him to bring it down. So it's one
• 1:18:25
  legal, Brad. So he'll come here, he'll do the deal, he'll
• 1:18:28
  sign the way bill up here, and then they'll ship it down. Please
• 1:18:31
  make this happen, Fellas. Text me back, I'll give you my information
• 1:18:34
  to relate to Rusty. Let's go Dino and Morganton. We can do that.
• 1:18:39
  Now. Would that make it legal? I don't know, will it?
• 1:18:42
  Yeah? It would because if he comes up here and buys a comes
• 1:18:46
  up here, what if he just calls No, If he comes up here
• 1:18:48
  and buys a van full of beer, I'm gonna make it completely. He
• 1:18:51
  walks in there and buys a van full of beer, right, he now
• 1:18:55
  owns that beer. He owns the beer. Yeah, so now he can
• 1:19:00
  do with it what he wants. He wants to drive it to where he
• 1:19:02
  lives in Florida. He can go put it in his garage in Florida.
• 1:19:06
  Now who he gives it to once he gets there is his business if he
• 1:19:11
  wants to share his beer boom right, Yeah, it makes sense. Awesome,
• 1:19:17
  sure, sure, as long as dinos not then reselling it. That's
• 1:19:27
  where you'd get into a problem. No, he's not for personal consumption.
• 1:19:30
  Yeah. When we come back on Three Guys later this week, that's kind
• 1:19:38
  of a weird week because this is the last week before the game week Game
• 1:19:45
  week. We know, Monday we preview and then Thursday, I don't know
• 1:19:49
  what we'll do, but we'll do something. But anyway, when we come
• 1:19:53
  back later this week, and it's probably going to be on Thursday, we'll
• 1:19:57
  spend time. We'll interview Neil Brown on the pod on our next venture in
• 1:20:03
  on Thursday. Excellent. Yeah, we'll talk to Neil. You know,
• 1:20:06
  we might want to hit him on his Brown mentioned index, see if he
• 1:20:10
  knows what yes and when we think you might give me your over unders?
• 1:20:15
  Do you think he'd answer my over unders? Might give him one? I
• 1:20:17
  would throw like tight end, Neil. Do you think it's realistic to think
• 1:20:21
  that Cole Taylor could catch two and a half touchdowns two and a half touchdowns
• 1:20:27
  or thirty balls or twenty five passes during the seat. Why he wouldn't.
• 1:20:31
  He'd probably have pretty good idea, maybe a little better than the two of
• 1:20:34
  us. We'll try and work up an over under for Neil. That'd be
• 1:20:39
  good. This is also a sad ending to this podcast. This is sad,
• 1:20:45
  sad sad ending well, because this is the last podcast for our summer
• 1:20:51
  producer, Jumping Jack Carlson. Is this that this is the last one?
• 1:20:55
  He out he'd be gone? Oh that is a sad day. Going back
• 1:20:58
  to school. He had a strong call up this year. He got called
• 1:21:01
  up to the bigs. He had a strong call up session. Understatement,
• 1:21:05
  I would say this as you know, I don't over I don't over hype
• 1:21:16
  our support staff through the years, right, we had some issues with Taylor.
• 1:21:21
  I mean we brought him along. Eventually it became serviceable. I mean
• 1:21:25
  you work him. Yeah, he became fine. But like if we were
• 1:21:29
  to do a statue, if we were to do a statue of an intern,
• 1:21:32
  I think you'd be with me on this, or at least rename the
• 1:21:34
  rename the floor, rename the studio floor here, like Jumping Jack here,
• 1:21:40
  just start with the retire of the jersey. Yeah number, would you get
• 1:21:44
  that far? Jack's number one. Jack's number one, so we would retire
• 1:21:47
  Joe. So Jack, Jack's out, But that's okay because he has trained
• 1:21:53
  our new producer like to a t, and that is Leaping Luke Rousy from
• 1:22:00
  Greenborough County. Leaping Luke will take over. Is that the real nickname.
• 1:22:04
  It's a tentative nickname at this part. So that's what we're doing. So
• 1:22:09
  Jack, thank you a million times. What a summer, great season,
• 1:22:13
