• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Group providing value beyond numbers. Alrighty Courts and Session. We
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: delayed our show taping. Normally we go Sunday mornings during
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: football season, but because the Mountaineer basketballers basketballed yesterday afternoon
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: against the visiting Cardinals of Wheeling University, we delayed, and
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: so we record now on a Monday afternoon.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: A lot of people tuned in live yesterday morning to
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: see if they can catch the show.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, did understand. We had a little bit of a
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: problem in that regard Last Thursday at Buffalo Wild Wings.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: People showed up and thought we were doing another live
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: show there because they kind of got into a rotation
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Thursday before a home game and we weren't there. Sorry,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: everyone did not.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we did no more Buffalo Wild Wing shows during
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: the football season, but we are efforting.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: We might. We're going to do something again with Buffalo
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Wild Wings. They're great. I want to talk about a
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: little bit later on as well, because they got a
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: promotion that's going on right now which is super super great,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and we'll talk about that. We will do something else
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: with Buffalo Wild Wings as well. All right, West Virginia Footballers.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: They lose twenty three seventeen to the horn Frogs of TCU.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: It's an interesting game to pull apart and to dissect.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Had I told you last week. I came in here
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: and banged my fist down on the table and said,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: if I said I'll make a bet with you, what
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: do you want to bet? I bet you Scottie Fox
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: has more passing yards than Josh Hoover. You each would
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: have lost your houses right and all your worldly possessions,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: but that's what happened. Fox throws for three to oh one,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns and no picks, and Josh Hoover is one
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: of the country's best twenty four thirty nine for two
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: four seven and a touchdown. Scotty Fox's quarterback rating was
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: one forty six and Josh Hoover was won twenty three.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: But we only play for the result, we don't play
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: for stats. And TC wins it by a score of
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: twenty three seventeen. So we will dissect the game. Brad
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: will look into the numbers and then the basketballers, Ross
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Hodge and his staffs first ever public outing onto the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: coliseum floor. Now, just think about the significance of that.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: West Virginia has had four coaches in the last four years. Remarkable.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: That's four coaches in the last four years. Second year
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: in a row that zero players returned that scored a
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: point or a rebound. So yesterday was super significant, you
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: know what, because I think Ross is going to be
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: here for more than a year, and how many years
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: it's going to be, I don't know. I think it
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: will be multiple years. And so that game yesterday was
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: significant because that's the first time that they walked out
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: on that floor and there was the Mountaineer crowd and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: they ran out onto the carpet and they had the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: whole shebang, and they sang Country Roads after it was
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: all over. And so that is significant. Phil Forte, who's
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: on the Mountaineer coaching staff, who played on the coliseum
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: floor for the Cowboys of Oklahoma State. He came over
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to us just before the game started. He said, dude,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: he goes, this is really super weird. He said. When
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I walked in here, he said, I got that that
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: nervous butterflies chills that you get when you go to play.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: But now he's doing it for the Mountaineers. By the way,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: he was forced into a shooting competition Friday night over
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: at the ball and at Woodburn. Director of athletics Ren
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Baker basically gave him an edict, you go out there
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and you shoot against Donner Huff and Phil just said
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: what he goes, yes, shoot, He goes, Okay, want me
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: to shoot, I'll shoot. He went out there and knocked shots.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Down Honor needed Honor had already had matriculated his way
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: through the bracket and then won the three point shooting contest,
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden, Phil's name was called up.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: I mean Phil had a couple of layers on of
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: coach standing there for a while. He says, all right,
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: is that right? You me to go shoot? Tucked coat,
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: right off, stepped up, took one shot from the free
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: throw line, switched it, took one shot from the three
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: point line, said right, let's go to start the clock,
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: and Honor needed a last second three to beat Forte.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Still got it.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, still got it. Credit to Phil, still got it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: So we'll get into that. Women's basketball team also won
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: easily in its exhibition against Paramount State, and it sets
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: us all up a soccer head.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Of soccer loss.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the women won. Women beat Oklahoma State two zip.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: Men, Nicky's got that thing rolling, she does meg it.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: The men lost at Kentucky one zip. Oh, and so
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: now that hurt in regard to winning the conference championship.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: But they still have a few games left and they
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: got to get themselves straight.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Marshall included in that was a tough three game finish
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: for Westernting Soccer rise Kentucky South Carolina Marshall final.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Three correct, correct, So that's what we got going on.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: All right, we're ready to jump in. Let's go, hop
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Are you ready?
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know if you are ready.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I'm ready.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I don't think you. I don't know if you are.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: What do you? Why are you?
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Why are you want me today?
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not anya? But uh A few shows ago, Yeah,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: so said, where's Hoppy's music?
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Oh? I forgot about that. Well you don't have to
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: do that. That's okay.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm doing it because it's not the it's
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: not the same song. Oh really, yeah, a song someone
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: submitted this song?
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: Oh, I hadn't heard we got a Hoppy song?
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Can you hear it without headphones? I can?
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Okay, that's all right, go ahead, play it. Sure, it's wonderful.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Wait, this is our This is the opening to Hoppy's
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: obvious observations. He's hearing it, Brad's hearing it for the
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: first time. Let's do that.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I haven't heard it.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I said. Oh okay, he's hearing it,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and Brad's hearing it for the first time. How is
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: your hearing?
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry?
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: What here we go?
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: He's got thoughts that sound brand new, but the things
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: we already knew. Bomb ready heaven knows, I take it
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: quick beforevation.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Hoppy, take it away with your obvious observations. By the way,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: very good. We have a close. We have a closed
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: one when you're done.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome. That's right.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Who did that? Gary Mertens, Gary Mertens did it? Send
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: it to me, Gary Mertens did it.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: That's pretty good.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: He's a guy that worked for us for years here
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: and now now down Florida. But like most of our
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: people that leave the state of West Virginia, rabid listener.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Sure he's a p one, he texted me, then opening
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the close for Hoppy's obvious observation. So obviously, what do.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: You have here?
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: We go.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: I'm going to start by quoting to leading sports announcers
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: and analysts in West Virginia. I'm going to quote Tony Coreedy.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: At the end of the game, Tony said, it was
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: a valiant effort. Tony, You're right, that was a valiant
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: effort by this Mountaineer team offensively and defensively, because Brad, what.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Have we seen the week before?
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: A lackluster performance?
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Lackluster lackluster performance, and West Virginia gave you and I'm
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: sure they made mistakes and Brad, you'll have some numbers
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: to reflect that. And Rich Rodriguez wasn't completely happy. And
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: I'm not looking for a moral victory, but you saw effort,
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: You saw athletes straining on both sides of the ball,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: and you came within a couple of plays of winning
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: the game, a couple of plays of winning the game.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: And again I know, well close doesn't count. But when you,
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: when you are what you have been, you're looking for something,
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: and that was, in fact.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: A valiant effort.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: That's a very fair point.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: So I'm taking from you, but I thought that was
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: the appropriate word.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Now I'm going to quote Brad.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Oh this is dangerous. Brad always this thing where he's
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: quoting us. Now, how do we just say stuff? It
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: should not be brought back to be held against us.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not holding I'm building on it.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Brad always says what you're allowed to get better, you're
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: allowed to get better. And the week before we looked
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: at that even said you got worse. Had the week
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: often got worse. This team, for whatever reason, in that
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: week preparing for TCU got better. They played harder, they
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: played more effectively, They got better, and that was encouraging
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: and one of the reasons they got better you've already
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: alluded to is Scotti Fox. You saw in Scotty Fox.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, you'll Rad, I'll get into the numbers, but
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: I mean that that was a really good performance by
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: a true freshman. And we've heard a lot about Scotty
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Fox that he has all these skills, hadn't really seen
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: it yet, and it got shaken up in the pit games,
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: so won a couple of picks and it took a
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: while from the recover from that. And you can't make
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: a judgment based on one game, but you did, Brad,
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: see what he's capable of doing. Now can you repeat that?
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Don't know, but you saw what he is capable of
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: and that was encouraging. So again, as Brad says, you're
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: allowed to get better. And they got better. Yep, and
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: they got better. So that was good.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: The crowd.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: And we've said often too that the old that the
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: thirty five or thirty eight thousand that calm or stick
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: around when things aren't going so well can make as
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: much have much of an impact as sixty thousand, And
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: that crowd was into it. Those who stayed and were
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: entertained by tremendous light shows. They were into it and
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: making a difference at the end of the game, So
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: props to the crowd. And finally, you know, Tony, one
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: of the great things about watching the Mountaineers, about being
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: a fan is that if you can at times during
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: the game separate yourself just a little bit and look
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: at it objectively, you get to see outstanding performers, and
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: not just not just Mountaineer performers from McCown, but other
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: players from other teams that to play at this level
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: you got to be really good.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: And then you watch a game and you see a
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: guy and you.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Go, oh, he's different than everybody else. And then in
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: two or three years, you're just flicking around on Sunday
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: watching NFL games, go oh, I remember that guy. Yep,
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: I remember that guy, And for some reason I think
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: of Tyler Lockett. Remember Tyler Lockett from Kansas State who
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: had about fifty catches against West Virginia.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Still out there, just sign just signed with the Raiders today.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Oh did he Yeah, and just went back with Pete Carroll.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: But yeah, he's been towards the end. But I had
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: a hell of a career.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Heck of a career. So there are players like that
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: that when you see.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: Them, you go ooh, he's different, and Eric McAllister is different.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: That's he's a dude. He's a dude.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: So that that those are my obvious observations.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Do you have any basketball observations?
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: I don't because I didn't see the game.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Okay, I didn't see I mean I looked at the
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: box looked at the box score.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: So that this you're saying that this concludes Hoppies obvious observations.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: I'm saying that, yeah, yeah, we can wrap it up there.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: You guys got more information than I do. But I
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: thought that, uh, generally speaking, this game Saturday was was
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: entertaining and compelling, had a chance there at the end,
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: and when you're having the kind of season that you're
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: having to see what they did Saturday and again not
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: to make an excuse or say, well to moral victory
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: was encouraging.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: It's exactly the word I was gonna was encouraging. So
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: there you have it, and that concludes hobbies obvious observations one, two, three.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Go oh, I don't have a closet.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not screwing this thing up. Oh wait, you're on
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: the wrong pot.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: You're on the wrong pot aren't you you're not playing
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: out of the PC.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: No, no, I had it was something obvious thoughts from
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Hobby's point of view.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: Segment has been brought to us by Bless Decks, the Bombing,
• 13:46

  Speaker 4: That's the plan.

• 14:03
  Speaker 1: although they're not paying us anything for Hoppies obvious observations. No, okay,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: very good. I think you put it in a nice nutshell.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Interesting that you bring up the crowd, because
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: when we get to textual healing in a little bit,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: there were some polarizing views about the crowd.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: I gonna say I'd give the crowd credit. Yeah, that
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: looked good at the beginning of.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: That people people went both extremes. Yeah, they went, hey,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: crowd was really good, and then we have people to go,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: what are we doing?
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Huh?
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: I thought it was. I thought it was really good
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: at the beginning, and credit hop. I'll say to you now, listen,
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: I realized, as a former marketing guy, I'm probably on
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: the far end of the spectrumist. But I love me
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: a good theme night. Yeah, I love the uniforms, so
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: great uniforms execution. Those damn numbers almost looked like they
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: were led. You had to love that. Yeah, they were
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: like they were like lit up there. So I love
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: the uniforms, and I thought that light show was outstanding.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: You if you time that up and get that light
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: show in a night when West Virginia's rolling in a
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: big game, that'll be that'll be tremendous. So credit the
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: marketing department much like you, and I know I don't
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: need to give the disclaimer, but I will because if I
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: don't get the disclaimer, then we're gonna yelled at for
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: not giving the disclaimer. I realize this program was not
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: built on moral victories, as you said. However, that was
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: perfectly stated by you. Given how this has looked in
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Big twelve play, I think you can walk away from
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: that going okay, there, you didn't win, but you're an
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: on side kick near recovery away from making that really interesting.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: You're a fumble lath that took a weird balance that
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: benefited TCU away from making it really close. You're an
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: absolutely horrific misspass interference no PI call in the corner
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: of the end zone away from making it really interesting.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: You're maybe only two fourth down conversions away, or don't
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: go for it on two more fourth downs from making
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: it really interesting. So you're into it, but just from
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: a look standpoint, and I'll get into some defensive numbers.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: That's what you wanted from that defense, right, you had
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: a really explosive offense with a talented quarterback and a
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: great receiver, and you held those guys in.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, let's give them the ball three
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: times on our side of the field. Yes, in the
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: first half.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: And what did they get three out of that?
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: Or yes, we'll go into that number as well, because
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: the number that we always look at was was lopsided
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: and it turned out to get another win. But if
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: you start to go down these you were in that
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: game and had the look of a team that could
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: compete in this league and was about to win a
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: game at home over what's been a very good team
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: with a prolific offense. So I thought, just overall, the
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: getting to the football, the breaking up passes, the delivering
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: hits on a defensive side, a defense that had really struggled.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: I was encouraged to see that. And then, of course,
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: as you said, hoppy having Scottie Fox the arm talent's
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: been obvious since the very first throw he made in
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: his first practice. You know he can throw the football.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: To have that offense come together, the lineup tweaks along
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: the offensive line from a pass blocking perspective were improved.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Still struggled to run it, but you threw the ball
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: and looked like an effective offense. You out first downed.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: TCU wouldn't have said that going into the game. And
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: again there's other numbers I'll dive into, but just from
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: a look perspective of that game, you had hope, you
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: had some life, and you were right there save for
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: a bounce of the ball one way or the other.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Three guys before the game is brought to us by Gomart.

• 18:34
  Speaker 1: what do they do well? They are number one in
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: the free world. And this is just my opinion. I mean,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: they're number one in the free world when it comes
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: to help and you get veterans benefits and social security claims.
• 18:44

• 18:46
  Speaker 1: that world of military benefits or social security claims, go
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: with the people to do it each and every single day,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: and they will guide you through what can be a
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: bit of a bureaucratic process. Don't go at it alone.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Doesn't cost you a penny until they collect for you
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: because a Jan Dill's attorneys at law, and they won't
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: take no for an answer, whether you're here in West
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Virginia or outside of the state. They've got people in
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: every single state that they take care of. All right,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: are we ready? You know I went. I was so
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: proud of myself that I got the music, you know,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: built in for hoppies thing. I still don't have your
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: spreads on stats. I still got to go analog on that.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: But nevertheless, let's uh, let's do that.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Didn't we work this out in the meeting.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: We've got to have the meeting that was there we
• 19:33

• 20:21
  Speaker 1: They got it all Conley's CPA group. You went full
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: buddy hollyglasses on this.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Huh, he's got to I bet he's got a ton.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: There's a lot in those games, guys, as you know,
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: when they're closer, you win. There's always a lot more
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: interesting numbers to come out there. You can kind of
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: dive in and see and I think what what we
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: just talked about there is illustrated by some of these numbers.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: The fourth down decisions were really if you get down
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: to it, that might have been the deciding factor right there.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: And Rich was caught, wasn't he because early in the
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: game it had the look that you were going to
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: get beat by five touchdowns again. So he has to
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: go for it, I think a little bit earlier, and
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: positions that he wouldn't normally do. I know he said
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: afterwards that he'd do it again, and he likes to
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: go for it, but I just have a hard time
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: thinking if he had known how it would play out
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: and how much the defense would keep you in it there.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: I just don't know that you'd go for it those
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: couple of times. And you wonder if you had those
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: back or if you just converted, because a couple of
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: them were so close, and I'm not sure that you
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: know the spots aren't exact as we said, and they're
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: not exact. And I'm not blaming the spots because just
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: go push forward and get the half of the yard,
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: get the yard. I get it. But a couple of
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: them were really close, and I think that game may
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: in fact just flip on that because you lost. Now
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: to put some numbers to that, some early fourth down
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: misses changed your win probability by about ten percent, and
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: it was the biggest swing in the game for any
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: single play or anything else. Two fourth down conversions early
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: swung you almost ten percent in win probability. So again,
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: it was one of those rare situations where normally you
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: could stand up your hop and second guests all day,
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: but you can't second guess because I see where he
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: was going. You're looking that you're down ten to nothing
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: and you're thinking, I got to make something happen now
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: where we're going to be down thirty five to nothing
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: with this explosive offense.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: And they averaged thirty six. Sure, you got your.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: Points, so you understand it. You got to go and
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: you got to get points, and you got to take
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: chances when you've looked like you've looked. But that, ultimately
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: I think might have been the difference in the game.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Another part, TCU was just excellent in the red zone.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: That short field that they were given so many times
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: led them to more scoring opportunities and they were effective
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: when they did that. The number we mentioned earlier field
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: position again, difference in the game plus thirteen for TCU.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: So there's that number again. If you're plus ten yards
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: ninety some percent of the time you win the game
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: you did. And then the lack of turnover, and I'll
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: get into some of that because we talked a lot
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: about that on Thursday. But TCU and essence forced turnovers
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: by getting those fourth down stops. West Virginia wasn't able
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: to get them. And man, they were close on a
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: couple and weren't able to get those, and that probably
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: spun the game a little bit as well. Let's go
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: back and look at Thursday what we talked about, what
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: things came true, what things didn't. We talked about the turnovers,
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: and as good as Josh Hoover was, we said, an
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: interception should be coming, they're a turnover where he plays there?
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Oh man, it was there, wasn't it. That third down
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: pass was right in the hands of the defender and
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: you just couldn't hold on to it. It was it
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: was dropped, so the turnover did not come to fruition.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: You had the opportunity, you just couldn't close it. We
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: said he would attack the middle of the field, that's
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: where he liked to go, and he did nineteen of
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: twenty five for seventy six percent completion percentage down the
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: middle of the field for one hundred and eighty four
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: of his yards. He finished with what two hundred and
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: twenty seven is It was like eighty two percent of
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: his passing yards came in the middle of the field.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: We k force that, we knew that's where he would attack.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: But here's what's impressive, because we talked about their explosive
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: ability ninety fifth percentile in pass explosive percentage. Coming into
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: the game, you had to watch the deep ball from
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: Hoover and this offense a big old goose egg of
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: passes of twenty yards or more in this game. So
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: everything else you want to say about the defense, all
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: the good, you can wipe it. They did not allow
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: a twenty yard pass to an offense that lives on
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: the big play and wants to hit you deep, and
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: they did not against this defense. That's probably what kept
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: you in the game here.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Encouraging. Yes, well, we talked about it.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Big play you cannot, I mean, because West Virginia has
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: just been absolutely abused by the big play really for
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: the most part throughout the season. And what happens when
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: you don't allow those, Well, you're right in the game,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: you're right there to win it.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: You're right there and holding them.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: I mean if we would said Thursday, can you hold
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: them to twenty three, you'd take that all day.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, question, no question. We'll come back to
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: some defensive numbers because they were worth talking about again.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: We asked the question, would West Virginia be able to
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: run it on TCU. The numbers said the Frogs defense
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: was outstanding against the run, but those numbers also told
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: you you might be able to throw it on them.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: Well that's exactly how it played out, Hopy. You struggle
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: to run the football again under two yards per carry
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: for West Virginia, But man, you guys said it both.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: Scotty Fox was outstanding twenty eight to forty one, three
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: to ho one, two touchdowns. No picks had a positive
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: expected points added per pass play in this game, so
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: that each play getting you closer to adding points as
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: a whole came through. That is hard to do. Westerviniya
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: has not been able to do that all year. That
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: was absolutely tremendous. The overall offensive success rate for both teams,
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: so the percentage of plays that were deemed successful based
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: on yardage and down Both teams were below average on
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: the day, but West Virginia's was better than TCUs would
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: not have set that coming in for an offense that
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: has struggled to find an identity and moved it. They
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: had one Saturday hot. Now it's a week to week business.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: Don't know if you'll be able to do it against Houston,
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: whose pass defense numbers are really good. But West Virginia
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: had an identity on Saturday. Fox to Vaughn in particular,
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: was that working. Yes, like lineup Cam Vaughn, you know
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: what's coming to him, go ahead and try and guard him.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Pretty good, so that worked out extremely overall success rate
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: West Virginia with the win. One more thing on Hoover
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: I didn't mention you held him to his worst Pro
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: Football focused grade of the season and his worst pass
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: grade of the season. Pretty good, Yeah, pretty good, all right.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: Defense held TCU to a negative EPA per play Expected
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: points added per play, held tc TCU to a lower
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: yards per play than what you put up. Again, absolutely
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: massive given the big play nature of that TCU offense.
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: We talked about the TCU offense ninety five percent on
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: nationally supposed to play rate. Mentioned that again because that
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: was really impressive. What West Virginia was able to do.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: We said TCU was number four in the country in
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: third and fourth down success, but one twenty two in
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: average third down distance, and there should be some regression
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: coming on that. TCU average distance to go eight point
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: seven yards. In this game, West Virginia did a great job.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: Just six of sixteen on third down, finished seven of
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: eighteen on end of drives third and fourth thirty nine
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: percent held them below their average on end of possession drive,
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: so there was some regression that came. A lot of
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: that regression was forced by a good defense, but you
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: put them in third and long most of the night.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: West Virginia's defense finished hoppy this is making a return,
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: haven't used it much. Finished in the ninety fourth percentile
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: with a twenty one percent havoc rate, So they created
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: a havoc play on twenty one percent of the plays,
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: which is really good. Those are tackles for loss as
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: sacks or In this game, there were a lot of
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: pass breakups. Thought the defensive backs overall did a pretty
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: good job of knocking down passes, so the numbers back
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: up what you saw hop on the defense. Really good effort. Offensively,
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: West Virginia had a positive expected points added on their
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: early downs, so really good. They were effective on early downs,
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: is what that's saying. It led to an average third
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: down distance of just four point one yards. It had
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: been over seven yards to go on third down. Now
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: you just didn't convert enough five of twenty one on
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: end of drive plays. And again, if you're pointing to
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: one thing in that game that probably flipped it, it's
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: that you get a couple more of those first downs
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: and you're probably in better shape and may steal one
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: of those fifty three percent success rate on early down
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: passes that was ten percent better than TCU. Again, with
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: one of the best quarterbacks in passing games in the league,
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: you were better with a success rate on early downs.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: Really impressive available yards. We've talked about that a lot
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: this year with this defense a huge improvement. TCU had
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: fifty one percent of the available yards. West Virginia forty
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: six percent of those available yards. That numbers close. The
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: score was pretty close. I already mentioned the field position game.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: That was a huge advantage for TCU due to those
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: lack of fourth down conversions. Some PFF grades. That's the
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: best offensive grade versus an FBS opponent this season for
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: West Virginia. That's the best pass offense grade versus an
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: FBS opponent this season. It's the second best pass blocking
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: grade this season overall, it's the second best receiving grade
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: overall this season. It's the best defensive grade versus an
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: FBS opponent this season, and it's the best coverage grade
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: in any game this season. So again, one of those
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: games the numbers backed down up what you saw with
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: your eyes on the field.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: You're couraging, encouraging, encouraging, valuant.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: Effort, very encouraging. How about this for Scotty Fox, hop
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: does pressure on the quarterback make a difference? It does
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: when he was kept clean. Scotty Fox was twenty two
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: of twenty nine for two hundred and thirty yards, one touchdown,
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: seventy six percent completion rate. We had time to throw.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: He was extremely effective. His best area of the field
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: zero to nine yards across the middle eleven of fourteen
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: one twenty one overall in the middle nineteen of twenty
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: four for two h two and one touchdown.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: It was really good to see Cam Vaughn back involved
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: because he had been a non factor for the last
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: couple of games. Because the offense was a non factor.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: But I don't know what his targets were bread but
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: I think it had six catches.
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: Twelve twelve targets. Six catches, it felt like eighteen targets. Yeah, yeah,
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: twelve twelve targets. A couple more quick grades. Best grade
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: on the defense, Darien Lewis had just twenty six snaps
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: but graded out at the top Fred Perry the highest
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: grade for a guy that played the majority of those snaps.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: How about Devin Grant? Team high seven pressures fifteen total
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: for the game is what PFF credit West Virginia with
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: Grant had seven of them really good. I mentioned held
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: Hoover to his lowest grade of the season, oh four
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: on balls of twenty yards or more. Offensively, again, no surprise.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: Vaughn and Fox are your two best offensive grades for
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: guys that played the bulk of the snaps. But here's
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: an encouraging sign. Livingston and Nick Kray right behind him
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: in terms of offensive grades. So two of your offensive
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: linemen you saw that lineup tweak, Haslam and Agbo played
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: more in this game, and again, the pass blocking was
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: very good at times. There's some football numbers.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: It's a lot of numbers.
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: I know that was fast, but I had a lot
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: to get to.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: Fred Perry creates some havoc. He has his own havoc number.
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: He's a havoc dude.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. What did you think of the early first quarter
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: contact between Fred Perry and Josh Hoover when Kariko made
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: the initial tackle and Fred came in on the sidewinder
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: really close, I mean really really close. I mean he bloodied,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: He bloodied his mouth up. They took him over to
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: the sideline. He was a remember got Yes, I was wondering,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: like we were looking at that during the commercial, going like,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: is they're gonna, they're gonna Dwight. Dwight felt that it
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: was a shoulder rather than a helmet.
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: Shoulder came up into him.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: That's what That's what they're That's what they thought. So too.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: But I thought when it happened and we went like,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: uh oh, that would be problematic both ways. But yeah,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: he he was one of four before that hit and
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: then he went out there and you know, he played well.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: But I just wonder, I took a shot a lot
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: of blood, a lot of blood coming out there. All right, basketball,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: we'll get into that here. Textual healing as well. We'll
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: get into that as well. With a reminder to you

• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Sales dot com. Basketball. On the men's side, West Virginia
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: rolls to an eighty to fifty four victory over the
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Cardinals of Wheeling University. West Virginia was up twenty at halftime,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: outscored the visitors by six in the second half. A
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: bunch of dudes played and it was interesting because the
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: combination of defense and three point shooting is what this
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: team is going to rest itself upon this season. Defense
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: was there yesterday. They held Wheeling to thirty three percent
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: from the field on eighteen to fifty four. West Virginia
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: shot the ball well overall, fifty one percent. Right, you'll
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: take that for the rest of your games this season. However,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: from three point distance. They finished up just six of twenty,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: which is thirty percent, and half of those three belonged
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: to Jaden Forsyth and he made him probably in the
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: last four minutes of the second hyesh. Yeah, so he
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: banged three. Otherwise you were sitting there at three. So
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: it just goes to show that that three point shot,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: as we all know, some nights it's there. Some nights
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: it's not finicky partner. Yeah, at all three point it's
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: a finicky partner. And uh, that's why you had to
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: That's why you got a guard. That's why you gotta
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: guard your takeaways.
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just that. But I do think this credit to
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: credit to Wheeling. That's you know, I talk a lot
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: about that league, the Mountain East Conference. It's a it's
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: a really good basketball league. The one difference it has
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: between high major basketball, and it showed up yesterday is
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: just size. Guys are missing a couple of inches at
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: the Division two level that they have at Division one.
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: In West Virginia took advantage at Harlan Obioha Brenn and
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: Laurent seven foot and sixty nine. Really Athletic had their
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: way inside, but I thought the perimeter defensive Wheeling was
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: very good. And here's why that's a test and how
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: what you're trying to do in those scrimmages. Yeah, it's
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: about the result. Yeah, you want to win. Yeah, you
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: want to win by thirty so somebody can be happy.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: But you're also trying to to help your team improve
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: on something. And I thought we're Wheeling gave West Virginia
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: a really good look. Is with one of the strategies
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: that you're gonna see from teams, what pick your poison?
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: Do you want to double down when the ball goes
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: in the post or at least dig hop when you
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: when you send the perimeter defender down to swipe at
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: the ball and potentially leave yourself open to a kick
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: for a three point shooter in Eagle Staff or Huff
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: or more Yugasuke Mo Yugazuk who are really good shooters. Right,
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: you want to take your chances there? Or do you
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: want to put the bigs on an island and say,
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: you know what, go ahead, If Harlan Obioha can get
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: you twenty five or twenty seven, hats off and we'll
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: take our chances. We'll give you twos and not get
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: beat with threes. Well, Wheeling did that, and their perimeter
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: defense I thought did a nice job of getting up
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: into West Virginia and not leaving. They did not deviate.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: They left the big guys alone. And if you're gonna score,
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: you're gonna score. So I thought that was worthwhile to
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: get a look like that, and worthwhile for the team
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: and Eagle staff and honor to be missing threes, but
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: still have to live up to what Ross always preaches about,
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: don't be hanging your head, don't let your game be
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: affected by misshots. Still perform and put the game in perspective.
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: And I thought they did that.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: So, Brad, is that a harbinger of what you're gonna see?
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: This year's teams are going to say, don't let these
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: guys on the perimeter beat you. And if somebody does inside,
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: so be it. But just these are the guys you
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: got to stop.
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: That's what I would do, because the other part of
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: that is the big twelve guys are going to bring
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: more size and athleticism into the post than what Wheeling
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: was able to offer. So that's what I would do,
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: is make make their bigs beat you. Now that said,
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: Ross also didn't have the full playbook installed. Or run
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: everything he has offensively. So there's gonna be some things
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: in games that count on your record that they'll be
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: able to free up some looks from shooters. And here's
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: the thing, Tony you mentioned it, Honored didn't shoot it
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: extremely well, still made two threes in the game, right,
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: and we're looking at going Honor didn't have very any game,
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: still hit two threes. So this team's gonna make shots.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: They just didn't last night. They found another way to
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: win the game, and defense was really good. And that's
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: what's gonna win West forvig any of these games. Each
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: and every night. They're going to have to play defense.
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: On the nights when it makes a lot of shots,
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: you're gonna run somebody out of the building. I've said
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: that before, but each night you're going to have to
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: play defense to hang in there, and I thought this
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: team did it. In fact, in talking to the Wheeling
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: folks after the game, they were really impressed with how
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: quickly the windows closed when they were China. They felt
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: they had some plays where they were able to backcut
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: or get cuts to the basket and in regular action
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: for them, those passes are there, and instead West Virginia
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: recovered nicely and knocked him away. We saw Chance Moore
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: do that a couple of times. His guy got by him.
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: His athleticism and link able to close and block shot.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: So defense is still going to be the main thing here.
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: A couple notes you mentioned Forsyth. He was excellent off
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: the bench. He was an elite shooter out of high school.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: He showed why knocking down the three threes. He will
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: play an important role. I think in these early season
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: games when Chance Moore has to sit for the first
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: five no Jackson Field, so that rotation is shorter, smaller,
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: You're probably going to see Forsyth a little bit early.
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: Emir Jenkins. Remember with Jenkins the freshman point guard, still
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: learning his way here at this level of basketball. He
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: just got here a couple months ago this time in juniors.
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: You just planning on going back to high school for
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: another year. Reclassified. He's here. But he showed some flashes,
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: led the team and assists. Had that beautiful inside dish
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: when he went baseline, looked across to the baseline, threw
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: it back underneath for a finish. He also added four rebounds.
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: That's going to be important as well. Keeping teams off
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: the offensive glass, your point guards in there grabbing four rebounds.
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: That helps. DJ Thomas continues, he just needs minutes, will
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: keep getting better and better. The true freshman from the
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: Dallas area. Six points, five rebounds, Tony. If I told
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: you right now DJ Thomas has given you six points
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: and five rebounds every night, you take it right now.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Yet, I'd sign the document right now.
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: It's going to get harder in Big twelve play. But
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: he just needs to keep playing. He's going to get
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: valuable minutes. Why Jackson Fields is rehabbing from his injury.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: The one thing I thought you need to clean up
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: coming out of that game that Russell addressed this week.
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: He had eleven live ball turnovers in that game, So
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: that's going to be a problem hop in Big twelve play.
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: If that were to happen in a Big twelve game,
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: you only had four total turnovers against me Maryland, that
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: jumped to eleven just of the live ball variety against Wheeling,
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: and Wheeling was effective in turning those into points. One
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: point three points per possession off the live ball turnovers.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: To give you some context, if you average one point
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: three points per possession over the course of a season,
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: you would have been second nationally in that category in
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: Division one last year. Compare that to Wheeling just point
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: six points per possession off a misshot by West Virginia,
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: and you can see how devastating live ball turnovers are.
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: We talk about that every year you get out in transition.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: Wheeling likes to run, they got numbers and they were
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: good at finishing. When West Virginia was able to get
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: back with its transition defense and force the Cardinals into
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: running their offense, that defense was able to come through.
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: So we'll talk about that maybe every show this year,
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: live ball turnovers versus what the points per possession is
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: off just a regular misshot.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Give a shout out to the whole Wheeling team and
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: to coach Chris Richardson. They were well coached, very well coaching.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: We've seen teams come in here and you could just
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: like it's a circus show, and those guys were well coached.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: They didn't back down, They stuck their face in there.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: I'd be surprised if they don't win some games. And
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: those poor buddies over there. Scholarship wise, you know, everyone
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: always screams like you know, how many scholarships, how much
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: collective money? Ohio State has compared to everybody else, Like
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: put that in the NEC and Wheeling is like absolutely
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: at the very bottom as far as scholarships go.
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: They're doing more with less, Oh my gosh. And I
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: give them credit if they play that hard each night. Yeah,
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: they will cause some problems in that league, which is
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: an excellent basketball league. But well, coaching and the other thing.
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: They didn't run a lot of their stuff either, so
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: they will. They're allowed to get better too throughout the
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: coach he or so. They were coming in with a
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: limited offensive arsenal as well. But I thought they accorded
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: themselves very well and gave West Virginia what was a
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: good look and an exhibition game. And that's a win
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: win all around. The ability to be able to help
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: a school in state to come down and get a
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: lifetime experience for not only those players, but for coach Richardson,
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: who's a West Virginia grad and a long time Mountaineer fan.
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: For him to be able to coach on that, for
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: that was just a neat neat night all the way around.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: For teams. Now they start to count. Now they're gonna
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: put the hyphen in the middle the ones you win,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: they put on the left. The ones you lose they
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: put on the right. It'll be the Mountaineers against the Mountaineers.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Mount Saint Mary's coming in a week from Tuesday, and
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: off we go.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: So how was the radio broadcast team? Were you guys
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: in mid season? Former? Did you have some rusts you
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: had to shake off?
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Felt good about it? Yeah?
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: I thought we were pretty good, weren't we.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Got these new noise canceling headphones. Oh really? Yeah,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: which you're nice? Did you notice it? Did you notice? Yeah?
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: They were nice.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: They're night too, They're light, but you don't hear. I
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: mean it takes away a lot of that ambient crowd,
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: which is really neat.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: Did you take crowd noise?
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Get a crowd noise basketball? You don't take it because
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: it's just so much on top of you. You can't.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: You don't need it. Yeah, you don't need it. Three
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: guys brought to us by what Three guys brought to
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: us by Comac's business systems. They're leading a one company
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: charge in the world to get rid of all those stupid,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: big dumb five gallon water bottles and your break rooms
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: on your on your.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: Floor, more than five, aren't they?
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: Those big ones are five. I think they are. They
• 42:03

• 43:20
  Speaker 1: get our water through the big but they were glass,
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: oh solid glass, and then.
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: Like some added pressure putting that thing in turn it
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: upside down.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: In our basement, I had a BB gun and I
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: would put one. I put a five gallon empty bottle
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: at the end of the at the end of the basement,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: had my BB gun and I would just fill I
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: just bang it, bang it, bang it. It would like
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: little you know, a little crack, little crack, little crack,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: little crack, little clock and to the point where you
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: finally hit it with that last one and it just goes.

  Speaker 3: in ricochet off and take your eye out could have.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Those are the things that you work against. I mean,
• 43:58

  Speaker 3: a slingshot section.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: Do you know, uh, I get a shot?
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Are you guys familiar with the PVC You guys familiar
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: with the PVC pipe cannons where you take PVC pipe
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: and you put it together in segments and then you
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: put a valve on it, and you put a little
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: hole and you put lighter fluid in it, and then
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: you'll wave it to get the fumes inside the thing.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: It's probably like four feet long. Then you put it,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: you put a potato, You put a potato in the
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: bottom of it, and then you light the thing and

  Speaker 1: First time text her. I'm a longtime listener, Cade from
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: Boone County. I just wanted to see if Hoppy has
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: any information on who it was that Pat McAfee was
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: referencing on game day when he said he had to
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: step up because a massive donor quit donating. Should this
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: be a concern going forward for WVU fans?
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I heard about that.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: I got some texts about that, and I don't know
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: who I didn't hear about. I didn't hear it. I
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: only heard about it. I don't know who he was referencing.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: Craig I would say, don't lose any sleepover it.
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: Don't be concerned.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: Don't you worry about a thing. Charlie from mid Lothian, Oh,
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: he is around. I was catching up on some recent podcasts.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: I was surprised to learn at the end of episode
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: six sixty six that you said you missed me despite
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: all the millions of dollars. Brad would interject unconfirmed that
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: I and others have saved using maximum Kroger fuel points.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: I am still a free man. I can't believe that
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: official did not call interference when Cam Vaughan got mugged
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: near the goal line on the far side of the field.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to basketball season and you guys just
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: might see me in Charleston on the sixth of December
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: when West Virginia plays the Wake Forests.
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: Okay, very nice, we'll look forward to it.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: By the way, I've been accused a few times on
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: this show of maybe jumping out a little bit ahead. Yes,
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: we need to do something at the Charleston West Virginia event,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: and we need to do something at the Charleston South
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: Carolina event. I still have events. We need to have events.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying that we need to do something. We
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: gotta get that done. So if you're a listener, we're
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: gonna do something in Charleston the night before the game.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: If you're in Charleston, South Carolina, we're gonna do something
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: that Saturday, which is the off day of the tournament.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: The world champion Mountaineers play Friday Sunday. We're gonna do
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: something Saturday. You think seafood could be involved in that?
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: Down there? I would think it could be kind of
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: nice fad from York, Pennsylvania. It says something about our
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: fan base that even with only two wins this season,
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: we had a near capacity at this game.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: Started out near capacity, thinned out.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: But well, yeah, it does. It does text a hello,
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: three guys. I have to say, despite how the season
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: has gone, I'm happy Rich is back. Program never really
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: recovered when he left. In my opinion, we've settled for
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: slightly above mediocre for a long time, more than on time.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: I'm willing College fans in general are good at setting
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: expectations way too early in a season and then getting
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: worked up when it doesn't go the way they pictured.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: This is a new program being built from the ground up,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: going to take time. Ran his proved he knows what
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: he's doing. I got no reason to doubt. I said,
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: when West Virginia be Pitt that was good enough for me,
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: and I don't care how the rest of the season
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: goes now. I stand by that. Ethan York, Pennsylvania. Good morning, Jeff,
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: Scott depot my two cents. First, I'll say I was
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: surprised with the turnout for the game. Stadium filled up
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: nice in the first half, but once you get halftime,
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: every stoppage more and more people file up the stairs.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: I've got no idea why everyone is always so quick
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: to leave. We only get six home games. Good bounce
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: back game. I wish the offense would have gotten another
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: chance at the end of the game. They had the momentum.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: Scottie Fox played well. Nice to see a QB to
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: play a game and not have the musical chairs. Defense
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: really bounced looked back like early season. Let's just say,
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: let's just hope we can build on this, get another
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: couple of wins. How about doug On Houston, Oh, Willy.
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: Fritz year two for Willie Fritz first game this year
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: that only one quarterback played in the game.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is really good there too.
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: Figured when they made that coaching change that would be
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: they would get good. That's that's a problem down there.
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: A lot of talent, guy that really knows what he's doing.
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: Wins starting year two on that was a that was
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: a good move by them.
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: Correct, he might get hired away. There's like sixteen jobs open.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: I still don't understand why we got to go there
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: twice before they come here. Really, yeah, we've already played
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: there once. They haven't yet. Oftentimes you hear the phrase, hey,
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: you don't got to be a rocket scientist to know that, right,
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: People use that statement. Yeah, yeah, Well guess what at
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: the food court this week? Oh yeah, there was a
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: rocket scientist there, Ken the rocket Scientist. A couple of
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: pictures with him. If you ever want to know what
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: a rocket scientist looks like, well, heck you got to
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: go to Can. Got to go to Can. He's got these.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: Ken's got a black sweatshirt on with hoppy and black
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: sweatshirt with hoppy.
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: We talked to him because I once I found out
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: that he worked there, had worked there. Yeah, then I
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: talked to him at Link the.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: Rocket scientist he got he's got a good information.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: Oh it was a fascinating They build you know, they
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: employ there at that rocket factory where they build largely
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: motors for rockets. Yeah, about two thousand people there.
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: We Ken there, rocket scientists.
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: It was great. I ended up talking to him for
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: quite a while. They were they were enjoyable. Yeah, they
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: had a good time. People who he pulled to you,
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: he pulled to you retired too early? Yeah he did
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: say that, Yeah, retired too early.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: Missed it.
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: Had to get back in the consultant.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I guess my.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: Hop you're still working. I don't consider you retired. Yeah,
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: he said that the way my law needs done again. Okay,
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: I'll be right over. Chris and Hurricane. Three minutes to play.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: We're down six, trying to get the ball back. No
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: fans in the stands, come on out in here, fans,
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: be the change you want to see. Like I said
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: that it was. It was a polarizing series on the text.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: But the crowd was that those who were there were
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: into it very much.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: So Robin and Cumberland. I've never seen more literal examples
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: of the ball not bouncing your way. We're due for
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: some breaks soon, let's go.
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: Certainly did not get a bounce in that wild how
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: that works when you're struggling to find wins, you just
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: don't get the bounces. When it's why they say turnover luck.
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: So there's a lot of luck involved in turnovers. It
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: just didn't bounce. Now, remember though, to be fair, what
• 52:25
  Speaker 4: West Virginia fumble three times? Yeah, and lucky Scotty got
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: one back too.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: It was close. So there is that, yes, but I
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: get what the Texters saying, like that one, that last one.
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: Karaco reacted as quickly as you can react to it,
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: and it just it did not fall in his hands.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: That stupid thing to unbounce. That obloc ball bounces weird ways.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: Jim and Clarksburg. I'm not one for moral victories, but
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: that was a moral victory. Brad will give some stats,
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: he'll tell us we should have won. Scotty Fox played great.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: Texter games started with three straight three and outs for
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: West Virginia, three straight TCU possessions beginning in West Virginia Territory.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: I thought, here we go again. But the team settled,
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: played well. That is the team I wanted to see
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: all year. Nice game for Scottie. He looked great.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: It did start out looking grim.
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: I did that first quarter until you were obsessing over
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: that appropriately about TCU beginning drives in West Virginia Territory.
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: West Virginia three and out, I mean, look, it looked
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: really bad very early.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: You think I mentioned it too much.
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: No, I think you emphasized it just enough. Which was
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: I mean?
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: That was the story of that first quarter? Was their
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: their field position?
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: Crazy Texter. Here's another one for the always of West
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: Virginia connection. Just got back from the Smoky Mountains. While there,
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: we enjoyed some New Haven style pizza from West by
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: God Coal fired Pizza. Look at that place, got the
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: West Virginia logo there, all right? I tried the tomato pie.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: Delicious must stop if you're in the area, live music acts,
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: throwing great food, supporting fellow mountaineers. That looks good right there.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: Most people might go it. I can't eat that, but
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: like that would be pretty good? Pretty good, I think.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: Next tex says, I have two thoughts. Scottie Fox played
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: pretty good, as Dana would say, for a true freshman
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: in his second collegiate start. Hey Dana, how did you think?
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: Scotty Fox? Well? Pretty good? Which I'm sure has been discussed.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: I want to say that I remember a time when
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: West Virginia fans would will the team to a win
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: with their energy when the team seem flat. Maybe I'm mistaken,
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: But if I'm not, then maybe just maybe something magical
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: can start to the end of the year and start
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: traction for next year. Anyway, if football that played, if
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: the football team that played in the second half shows
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: up for the rest of the year, Scottie Fox growing,
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: we may pull off one more miracle. Sorry for the
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: long text text Grant and Redhouse.
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: It's amazing how much better you feel today than a
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: week ago.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: Today. Yeah, when you compete, when you're swinging week to
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: week business.
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: Okay, it's weak to week, but we'd had a bad
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: stretch of weeks, I know. But it's also don't get excited. Well,
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: it was a great week. Now you got to turn around.
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: You're a two touchdown underdog at Houston again, So now
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: you got to show here's where you build, here's where
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: you try and stack. That was again, as we said,
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: a light year's difference from where we've been. Now do
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: it on the road.
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: Now, pack up, go on the road against a team
• 55:18
  Speaker 4: that's having a great year and put another performance back
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: to back defensively and offensively. That's next.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: Thanks to the U three for taking time to speak
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: with our daughter Ray who's home on leave from the Navy.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: We're really very proud of hers all. She's accomplished tough
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: having her away, not seen her for long periods of time.
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: Your genuine interest in her navy career and words of
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: gratitude made her feel very special.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: It's great to meet. She was fantastic from Joe and Holly.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah there. We do not have a picture of that
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: due to security reasons.
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: They stayed a long time there with us.
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we were there.
• 55:51
  Speaker 4: They were there. They left only shortly before I did,
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: and I stayed till we shut it down. They were there,
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: So thank you Joe, Holly and Saturday.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: They got land up there in Wisconsin, don't they. They do
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of acreage.
• 56:01
  Speaker 4: Question about the minimal rights though.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we should connect her with.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: Who's another spy friend, Oliver Straw's dad. Yeah, they probably
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: worked together.
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: They probably did, probably got each other's you know.
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: They got digits, ENCRYPTI phone. They don't perreopolis, Phil. We
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: showed some fight tonight, got some positives to build on.
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: Scotty looked good. Finally got over two hundi on total offense.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: Let's keep getting better. The H and B refs on
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: the TCU sideline killed us tonight. No pass interference on
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: CAM and the offensive pass interference miss late they missed
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: a hole that would have moved TCU out of field
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: goal range. Anyway, let's go shock the koops. Hey, what
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: is this?
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: What is with the ref and the coin toss? What
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: referencing hoover By's first name?
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: That was?
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: That was like a b omen, wasn't it.
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: I Mean they got more penalties in West Virginia that
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: thought it was weird where he called him Josh.
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: They're getting that. They're getting that more. You've seen it
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: more and more. Like I watched him during warm was
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: and he was having the long conversation with him.
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: Did you hear that brain No, I missed that.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: You had the money? Yeah.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: I mean like Kevin Maher, who's he's big boy ref.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: I mean has real big games. I mean he just said, like, okay,
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: Josh a your like you know, like you're sitting down
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: at the table. But they'll do that. I mean I've
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: seen That's not the first time I've seen that, because
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: those referees are the guy that really they're protecting the
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: quarterback throughout the course of the day. They're the ones that.
• 57:24
  Speaker 4: You know, I mean it's a professional deal. I mean
• 57:26
  Speaker 4: those NBA refs do that upon review. Yeah, right, they'll
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: give you. They'll give you by the name.
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Texter says, I believe. I doesn't say I believe,
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: He says, I have two comments I'd like to make
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: as I would believe rich Rod would agree. If not
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: feeling good about this loss, this one at least seems
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: to give some encouraging about Scotty. The receivers or defense
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: played much better running the ball. Different issue. Hopefully improvement continues.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: Remainder will tell us if this is a fluke or
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: we are improving. And then he went on to ask
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: about the Pat McAfee deal in regard to the out Again, folks,
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't make a whole lot out of that. There's
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: no one at WVU that's perspiring or losing sleep over that,
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: so I wouldn't stress that out. Kevin and Princeton, We
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: as fans need to look at some facts. These are
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: not advanced senator powered stats by any stretch, but by
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: the time it is all said and done, it's possible.
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: West Virginia this season will play ten Bowl eligible teams.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: Kansas and UCF are two wins away, Arizona State and
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: Ohio are one away. TCU b Yu Pitt Houston, Texas Tech.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: You to already have six plus wins. Super tough schedule
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: for anyone, much less a piece together team suffering major
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: injuries under a first year coach. I was always I
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: love the show.
• 58:48
  Speaker 4: It's interesting. As much as the non conference schedule got
• 58:51
  Speaker 4: itself righted again, the Big Twelve continues to be a
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: tough league. I know there's some in the national media
• 58:56
  Speaker 4: that continue to ignore the league, and there's some agendas
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: out there nationally may not a ignoring the football league
• 59:01
  Speaker 4: here West Virginia. If you go tho SAGRAE ratings right now,
• 59:04
  Speaker 4: just did Hopy right in this moment, eighteenth right now
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: in scheduled rank. So yeah, Big Big twelve again, good league.
• 59:10
  Speaker 4: It's just in despite what some may say, Tony, the.
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: Big twelve is a good league. And you're getting at
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: as you figured you would get this time. You're some cannibalization,
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: you know. Iowa State now is three losses byu undefeated.
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: Texas Tech is at one walls, but now down to
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: their third string quarter.
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: I was just going to say, Will Hammond, who looked
• 59:28
  Speaker 4: really good in winning that game at Utah when Baron
• 59:31
  Speaker 4: Morton went out. It goes down with an acl that's
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: a massive look. Now there's some that think there's a
• 59:35
  Speaker 4: lot that think Baron Morton is back this week, but yeah,
• 59:38
  Speaker 4: down to their third quarterback there. That's not not easy.
• 59:41
  Speaker 4: As West Virginia has.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: Said three guys, I often say that before organizations become
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: good or even great, they must be consistent in their performance.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: I have nowhere nearing crowning the twenty five team as
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: world's champions yet, but what I saw last night was consistency.
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: Consistently moving the ball, achieving first downs, forcing opponents to
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: fourth down, consistently fighting, not letting it down or loafing.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: Great to see some new young faces in the game
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: making an impact. All continues to give me hope for
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: the future. I am not willing to responsibly bet that
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: another victory is possible, but I think it is in
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: the realm of the possible if we can have another
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: consistent performance like last night. Still keeping the faith along
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: the banks of the Canal Falls signed by Glenn from
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: Glenn Ferris.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: I'm hearing a theme, Tony.

• 1:01:03
  Speaker 4: telling me, we and I vividly remember doing this. Excuse me.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 4: The last time they were up, Tara's wife was was unavailable,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: or maybe it's Tara was unavailable, so he facetimed her
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: and that was the big questions at Tara's Tara, It's
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 4: not Tarat's Tara. So now I've messed it up and
• 1:01:18

  Speaker 1: Clark County. There's there's there's a little guy right there.

• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: and Doug's little boy, and then that's Johnny. That's Johnny
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: Hardesty in the gray. I've known Johnny Hardesty since we
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: were six years old.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: Holy cow. How about that.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: Clark County is right next to It's in Virginia, but
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: it's right next to where I grew up. I mean
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: we literally grew up a couple miles from each other.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: And he's friends with a couple other friends. So it
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: was nice to see Johnny Hardesty hadn't seen him well.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 3: I had been in touch with him.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: But we go back since first grade.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well different school, but that long.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: There's Coop. Coop got right in the picture. What Doug
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 4: and I?
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: It was his first game? He did great. Yeah, that's awesome.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: There are three guys and Hoppy Cube. I'm I am
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: a very faithful fan, having listened to every one of
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: the six hundred and sixty seven plus episodes multiple times,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: but this is only the second time that I've texted.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: Our parents were raised in Morgantown. My grandfather, Edward Campbell,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: was caretaker at the Oak Grove Cemetery southern end of
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: High Street. How do you just deliver right down the
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: street from exactly for many decades. On a recent visit,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: my eldest brother showed me where their old house used
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: to be. I was delighted to discover that myleon Pushgard
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: and his wife have their final resting place only a
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: few feet away from the site where our mother and
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: her siblings were raised. Our paternal grandfather, John Anderson Senior,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: also worked for the Army Corps of Engineers Locks ten
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: and twelve on the Monongahela River. Not only not that
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: I needed anything further to feel strong, affinity of West Virginia.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: But now I feel even closer than ever to the West.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: By God legacy, I'm so privileged to share. Please share
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: a shout out with the Campbell and Anderson clans, pillars of
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: the Morgantown community for the past century. Morgantown's the greatest
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: small hometown anywhere, sewn by JD. Anderson. Keep talking football,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: But rookie Javon Small scored sixteen last night and was impressive,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: defense great, and I say he's coming out of his
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: shell more comfortable with this team. I'll send this fyi
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: picks here of Javon being interviewed at the conclusion of
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: the game. How about that man a year ago he
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: hadn't even bounced the ball yet in a real game
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: for West Virginia. And a year later, my guy is
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: in the National Basketball Association and he puts up double figures.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 4: It's playing an important role. Opening night played nineteen minutes,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 4: was positive plus six on the plus minus. And then
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 4: he comes back in game two there as they're mentioning,
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 4: and was scoring along it. And that's a guy hop
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 4: on a two way contract. So Memphis has a nice situation.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 4: If you remember Jevon Carter got the benefit of this.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 4: Their G League team is right there in Memphis, Okay,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 4: so you can go both places and play. Man, he's
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 4: right out of the game with the big club early.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: I mean they're counting on him early to get in
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 4: there and play. So no surprise, right, you watched him
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 4: last year. That dude looked like an NBA player every
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 4: step of the way last year for West Virginia, you
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 4: know when you see it, right, Yes, And he was
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 4: so happy to see him in there and great for
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 4: the West Virginia basketball brand.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: You remember, we went to an NBA game last year.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: We went and saw the Rockets and we're sitting there
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: and we're looking down the floor when we went like,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: Jamon Small can play here, Like there's no way that
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: he can't come off the bench and play with these guys.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 4: Sure didn't Utah too. We were all over the NBA
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 4: s SEM last year.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, looked like an NBA player, is an NBA player
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 4: and is now playing in the NBA.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: Huh.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that did terrific good for him last one. Three guys,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: I've listened to the six hundred and sixty seven episodes
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: and I still cannot bring myself to listen to the
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: episode after the twenty twenty two brawl. I've never heard
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: Brad apologize to the listeners before spreads on stats. We
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: all got a big chuckle out of that as we
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: headed to the game Saturday. Keep up the good work,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: Craig in Oakmont.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 4: I know, Craig. Sometimes they've hurt this year. Sometimes the
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 4: numbers of heh.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Craig, next time you come in for a game,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: if you're an Oakmont, go to that Oakmont bakery. Bring
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: me that canol cake.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 4: Well, he's not door dash, he just ordering up.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you. You have to tell you what, Tony,
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: you can do that.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: Why don't you go ahead and give your credit card
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: information right now? Get your number, give me security code
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: on the back that throws three numbers, give us.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 4: And don't don't threaten him. He has done that with
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 4: a local. Won't name the place, but he has done
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: that and spend about ten x what it costs to
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 4: go get one to have it brought to his house.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 3: So he will.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he'll line umal, is that right? I would have
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 4: cost don't care need one right now? One treat don't
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 4: cost me eighty three dollars to I go ahead and
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 4: bring that over.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: He went did do that, did that once?
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: What was that? You want to say?
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 4: It was a treat. It was a nice treat after dinner.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 4: Well lined up ordered. It cost him one hundred and
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 4: thirty two dollars for one of them. So he wanted
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 4: to sit there and watch pirate videos on the back porch,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 4: not have to get up and drive down the three
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 4: minutes to get it.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: That does.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: I like him?
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: That is. That'll be enough of that. Move on. We'll
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: be back on Thursday to preview West Virginia and the
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: Houston Cougars. Still don't understand why we got to go
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: there twice before they come to our place.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 4: Roll down, steal one. They're due for a loss. They
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 4: are dude, lineup, Scotty Fox, go for four bills. We
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 4: will talk about Thursday, but I am I am interested
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 4: to watch Rich's game planning. Now moving forward, you can
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 4: throw the football. You've got an elite receiver in cam
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 4: vaon does he have to kind of go back to
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 4: a Sean Kingwoody Danceler esque. We're gonna throw it more
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 4: than we run it here?
• 1:08:37
