  Speaker 1: finds things that seem to be more important than this podcast.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: That happens.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's okay. I mean we've been we've been passed
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: over by other people before. It's no big deal. Hoppy
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: will return coming up next week. This is episode number
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: seven hundred and five. Got a bunch of stuff. We've
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: got WV women's basketball getting ready to Can you say
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: this put it in perspective? How big among I mean biggest,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: biggest game ever.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know about ever hosting since nineteen ninety two. Yeah,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: it's a long time. I mean when we think about that,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: we'll get into that. But that's that's wild. I know
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: we talked about it with Sydney and Jordan on Monday.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: But that's massive. And if you think about it, what
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: is that nearly forty years.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Don't do public math, but eight plus twenty six is
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: thirty four years. Yeah, Three Guys Before the Game, we'll
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: get into a Mountaineer men's basketball. Also, they're kind of
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: in their spring break quiet period. Plus, we have something
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: while we're recording here that is incredibly weird, because we've
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: often said on this program the best two days of
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the year sports wise are the first two days of
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the NCAA tournament.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Love it.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: We happen to be recording just as the ball has
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: gone into the air to start today's sixteen games.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Which, by the way, let me interrupt, excuse me for
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: a minute. I'll be right back because I fix something
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: with that.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: He's losing his mind because we just have we have
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: four TVs in here monitors and two of them are
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: digitizing out and you can't see anything. So he is
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: absolutely he's just gone to the different level. He just
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: went upset, turned the HD monitors to SD just to
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: make sure he could see the game. So anyway, it's
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: weird because we're going to be looking to watch these
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: games and by the time you listen to this, these
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: games are over. Got big twelve right off the bat
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: against TCU against Ohio State. Let's do it, three guys
• 2:19

  Speaker 1: And with that being said, the music ending, let's post
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the music up. Oh bingo, All right, let's jump in
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: put it in a perspective. Saturday afternoon, five o'clock West
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Virginia and Miami of Ohio inside Hope Coliseum. You all
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: know the setup to this game. We had both Jordan
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Harrison and Sydney Shaw in on Monday, did a great
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: show with those folks. If you haven't caught that one
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: by chance, we strongly encourage you to go back and
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: give it a listen watch even before they play here
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: on Saturday, because I think it will give you really
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: super neat insight into both of those ladies. Meanwhile, Big
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Baseball Weekend, don't let this Baseball Weekend go by anya.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: This kind of is a weird baseball series. You know,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: they kind of say like sliding in in the darkness
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: of night. I think about this. It's going to catch
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: people off guard because normally weekend baseball.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Series what Friday, Saturday Sunday. This one had to make
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: some changes.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Thursday Friday Saturday because West Virginia plays BYU and BYU
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: does not play sport. Do not play sport on Sundays.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: So as a result, you have that first change. So
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: you might go like, wait second Fridays. No, it's not. Then,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: because of potential weather, which now looks to be in
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: good shape, they move the times up. So this Thursday game,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: as we record, that one goes at four thirty eastern
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and then Tomorrow goes a little bit earlier.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow is supposed to beautiful, gorgeous.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: And then Saturday goes as as regularly scheduled time. But
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: like this baseball series, this weekend series will be over
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: if everything goes well, like four o'clock on Saturday.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Done nice Saturday too, I think, right, oh yeah, nice
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: temperature wise.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So here's one two out of three to open
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: up the series season in the Big Twelve against Baylor
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: last Saturday on the road. Now they come home, see
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: if they can get three against the Kogs. Kugs are
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: picked toward the bottom of the Big Twelve standings, So
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Steve Sabans and crew, we'll be swinging them here starting
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: later on today, and we wish those guys the very best. Meanwhile,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: been kind of a quiet week over on don Neil
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: and Drive. Has been sort of kind of because no
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: one ever fully leaves. But spring practice off this week
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: and spring practice will resume next week, and now the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: thing will go super fast one spring breaks over, like
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I'm calling I'm calling spring semester over.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Like some people say that might be a ted premisure.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Some people say I get ahead of myself a little bit.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: On daylight savings time and things like that. But basically,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: let's face it, man, you know and I know, semester's over.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: After spring break. You come back from spring break. If
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: you do go south right, you got a tan and
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: so you're compelled now to go like man, I felt that, Son,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I'm really not going back inside the library and buildings
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: like I'm staying outside more and more and more. And
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: then you know what happens, Brad.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: So you're basically wishing everybody happy fourth of July today, Well,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: it's basically how you operate.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Not quite that far, but I but I am going
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: to say, knowing been there once, when spring breaks over, man,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: it's just like straight down hill.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Spring practice will go fast.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be done. So we'll keep it. We'll keep
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: a tab. We'll keep a tab on that. We have
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: not done textual healing in a bit because we had
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: that prolonged period where we didn't do two shows in
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: a week because of the Big twelve tournament and then
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: we had the ladies in on Monday, so we didn't
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: want to. We had a limited time in the schedule
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: because I told you that a Bengo game coming in
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: here at six.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: We had to clear the studio, clear the studio up.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: But so we're going to catch back up with textual
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: healing from those folks. All right, So sound like a plan.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: You gets a little bit on a lot of things.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's here's the deal man.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: But then you realize it's gonna kick back in heavy
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: because basketball men's basketball is gonna suddenly be back and
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: engage practicing starting next week. Football will be starting next week,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: so we'll be heavy into both of those. Men will
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: hopefully still be playing. They get through this weekend, can
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: win a couple, Yeah, they got some excitement coming up.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Nice thing about this Crown Basketball tournament. If you go
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: all the way and you win it, like the day
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: after it's over, you get one day and the next
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: season starts.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: It's basically about how it works.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Let me think about this. You're leaving, you're leaving West
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Virginia will leave on its last road trip on the
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: last day of March.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: But you know, as we've talked many times, this stuff
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: never ends because we're gonna play on the men's basket side.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: We're gonna play playing the Crown, and then the portal's
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: gonna be open within a couple of days. After five
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: because the National Championship will hit that Monday. Then the
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: portal will open, we'll start getting announcements in here and
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: the new Mountaineer roster will start to be assembled. Yeah,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: well football is going on. Yeah, so we had a
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: lot coming springs are different than they used to be,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: a lot more newsy than they used to be.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Have we chatted about Miles Sadler. We didn't chat Miles,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: not talk about him well because we had ladies.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Oh my, that should be that should be an emergency podcast,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Miles Sadler Edition.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: So here's my deal. If you're a longtime listener, I
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: used to do this. I used to host a show
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: called sport Line, and.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Some of us on this show are still on sports Signed.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: By the way, you guys still know what The show
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: didn't end when you left Hole, No, we continue. We
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: went ahead and decided we're going to continue to do
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: it every single night. So just because you I know
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: you don't listen. You thought everybody else went away, We're
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: still there.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Everybody.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I listened some, still there.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I listened some. So I've told you this story. Jonathan
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Harget's coming out of high school West Virginia signs Jonathan
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Hargett and I gotta go see him play. And he's
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: playing in the Saint James Invitational in Hagerstown, Maryland, which
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: that I don't know if it still has the same
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: bang or brand equity to it, but it was like
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the big time event. So myself, Greg Hunter, Warren Baker,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and I forget who else. Maybe that was all of us,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: or maybe there was somebody else. We get in a
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: car and we drive over the mountain and we go
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: to the Saint James and we're gonna watch Target. And
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: so I come back and I was wowed by him,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: and I said, I have seen the future of WVU basketball,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: and the future is incredibly bright. Jonathan comes in. Obviously
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: things don't work out. Not necessary though, oh no, no, no, no,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: not necessarily, like he was going to be a player.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: But I had some moments.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: There was all the off court stuff which led to
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: the entire implosion of everything. So at that point I
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: made a commitment to myself and I said, never ever again,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: am I going to come out and go like I've
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: seen the future in the future is bright. Now with
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: that being said, I watched Miles's last two games at
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: that tournament.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Hold On before you move forward. I don't want to
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: ruin your story. There was an entirely true you did
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: then take a trip over to watch Deuce McBride and
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Oscar Shebwey when they played here. So Hargott wasn't the
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: only time you watched.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: But no, no, no, no, I'm not saying that. No, no,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: you're missing me. No, I know I pontificated that their future.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: You pontificated about Oscar a little bit too. Now, You're right,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: end up being player of the Year.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: National National player, Conference player. Right anyway, So I watched
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Miles two games last week at that event, and the
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: thing that stood out to me he does have a
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: similar style of game of play of Jonathan Hargett. Might
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: shoot it a little bit better right now, but willing passer,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: great floor vision, ability to handle, the ability to go
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: north south rather than east west to paint touch the ball.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: So he has all these others. Now, I'm not saying
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: pro I'm not saying first team, all confidence. I'm not
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: saying anything. This is what I'm saying. He will be
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: a very very nice addition to what else they put
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: around him. But at the same time, as you said,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: as soon as the season's over in Las Vegas. Practice
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: starts for next year. When the freshmen do get here
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: and the new team gets here, he has got a
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: ton of work to do defensively, And that's not anything
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: against him. It's just that you're not asked to play
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: defense there or at that level the way you're going
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: to be asked to play at college or in Ross Hodges, And.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: A lot of it's communication. When you get here with
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Ross Hodge, it's less about can you get down and
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: guard somebody. I have no doubt he'll be able to
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: do that. It's more about just the communication and the
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: system and what you're doing. His ability to distribute was
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: really impressive. I knew he could score, I knew he
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: could shoot. I knew he could handle. Those guys had
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: a really hard time. That's other d one guys on
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: the floor with him. They couldn't stay in front of him.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: He did whatever he wanted, dribbled out of traps, dribbled
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: out of hard hedges. But his ability to distribute and
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: not just find the open guy, place the ball exactly
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: where it needed to be, either in stride or in
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: a shooting pocket, that was really impressive. I'm excited to
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: watch him, I think that hype could be real. Now
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: we'll see again. As we know it's hard to mix
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: into the Big twelve, but we saw this past year
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: a lot of freshmen with high level impact in this league.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you could do it.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Seen it all over the country too, freshmen walking in
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: and having high level impact. So I'm excited to get
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: him here. He had an unbelievable run, three wins over
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: top five teams, three wins in three days, won the
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: tournament four games in four days. They ascended to number
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: one in the sc Next national rankings. As said last week,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: he was the MVP of that league, the EYBL league.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: That's High Cotton, your MVP of that thing. Yes, so
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: very impressive. Yeah, really impressive, and I think fans will
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: like him. Great personality, Smiley, good dude. We chatted with
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: him last week. I can't remember Big twelve time. It
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: was a Big twelve teram. It seemed like it was
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: nine weeks. Yes, while we're at the Big twelve ternament.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: He was eating dinner and then on his way back
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: to the gym to get another work out of it.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so we had quick chat and he says he's
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: he's he's gung hon, ready to ready to come to
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: get here, all right, coming up, we'll do spreads on stats.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: We're going to do WV women against Miami of Ohio.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: So like I shouldn't even update these scores like this
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: TCU thing. No matter, No, let's go horn Frogs. Three
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: guys before the game is brought to us by Comac's

• 13:48
  Speaker 1: worn out business phone system. He might be going, it's
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: it's still well. Now might be a great time. Comacs
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: can offer you fantastic options when it comes business phone systems.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: If you think it's that time for you and your business.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: The things that they can do now pretty much they
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: can do everything except poor an espresso shot. Your phone
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: system can do that now, they can do everything except that.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: So if now's that time, contact Comax Business Systems. They'll
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: come in, go through your situation and your needs, and
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: they can get you into a system which best fits

  Speaker 2: Yes, so I checks the numbers. I'll just go right
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: to the numbers.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: There comes a year. Spreads on Stats is brought to
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: us by the Conley CPA Group. They are a complete
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: service public accounting and consultation firm serving clients across West
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Virginia surrounding states. They provide a whole lot of value
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: beyond just numbers. They've celebrated their fortieth year anniversary and
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: they've been here local firm experience pros and think about this.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Technology has allowed us to do a lot of different things.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: You can outsource your accounting through them, you can outsource
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: your CFO services through them. So if now's the time,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Conley's CPA group, good folks down there, our buddies, Mike.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: We talked to Mike most of the time. We do,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: but there's others besides Mike. Sam's there, right, She's there,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: So you can come along and just say, hey, I
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: heard you about three. I heard about you guys on
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: three guys. I want to talk about this or that
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: they can take care of you. West Virginia is a
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: big favorite in this game. Your numbers indication should be
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: what are you saying.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Well, should be I mean you're hosting, You're one of
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: the sixteen best teams in America seed wise, so yeah,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: you should be a favorite. Anything make you go wow,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: well it's this is also, you can't necessarily sleep on
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: an NCAA tournament team, either of Miami. Ever, let's dive
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: into some of these numbers. They are Miami a really
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: good defensive team. Also, in fact, they have a better
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: defensive rating in terms of points giving up per one
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: hundred possessions than West Virginia does. Now different competition, of course,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: but they thrive off points off turnovers as well. Eighty
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: ninth percentile are the RedHawks nineteen points off turnovers per game.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: West Virginia averages twenty five points per game in that
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: category ninety eight percentile. So that'll be something to watch,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: as it always is when West Virginia takes the floor.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Is that a massive advantage for WU? Can Miami keep
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: it close? We've seen a couple games this year where
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: West Virginia has some turnover issues itself, so that's something
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Miami likes to do and create points that way. Offensively,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: four players averaging double figures, and this was interesting. One
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: of the best half court offenses in the country on
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: a points per possession basis, top ten percent nationally. So
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: if they're able to handle West Virginia's back court pressure
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: and get it into the half court, their numbers tell
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: you that they're very, very good. When they get in
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: the half court. They're one of the best on guarded
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: catch and shoot teams in the country. Ninety ninth percentile
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: in points per shot. This is the best we've seen
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: men's or women's in evaluating a game this year. They're
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: forty two percent from three when left open. That puts
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: them in the top one one percent of all teams
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: nationally when left on guarded. Sometimes that can happen to
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: West Virginia when they're scrambling all over trying to four steals.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: If you move the ball, you can get some open shots.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Here's where these games always get a little bit tricky,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: and you can't look past anybody, even if you're a
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: big favorite. You look if you were choosing upsets on
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: the men's or women's side, you want teams that are
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: high three point variance teams. Usually you want a slower,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: fewer possession game, and you want high three point attempts
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: because if you're making them, then you win the game.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: You saw Miami's men's team do that last night, hitting
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: a first four record sixteen threes out of forty one attempts.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: That's what they want to do. They want to create threes.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: They'll start following following and get a math problem.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: I'm happy they one.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Miami is ninety feth percentile in three point attempts per game,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: averaging about twenty five and they shoot it really well
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: overall thirty eight percent. As a team, they have seven
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: players that have played four hundred minutes or more. Four
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: of them shoot thirty seven percent or better from three.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: So they're going to spacey out, get around the arc,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: hope that they can break the pressure and handle the pressure.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Then move it around and take a bunch of three.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Got a guard man, got a guard You gotta find
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: the shooter. Premium guarding and when left open and one
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: of the best in the country. They are, so two things,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: wins and losses. They lost to Colorado by twenty earlier
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: this year, played Perdue and lost to them, and they
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: beat Cincinnati, another Big twelve team, by four, so one
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: in one against the Big twelve.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Talk to me more, a little bit more about their
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: propensity to turn the ball over. Can you heat them
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: up with your athleticism and get them totally flummixed?
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Can you Their turnover percentage is pretty low. I'm sorry,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: it's pretty high, So yes, you may be able to
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: They turn over twenty one percent.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Of the time. That's a lot schedules, a little bit
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: less schedule strength. You mentioned three pretty good teams right there.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Overall schedule strength, quality of schedule.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Mac, it's it's good. It's not the
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Big twelve, so that's gonna be the thing. Can you
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: come in here and heat them up in front of
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: what will be a I would think a raucous crowd.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I was gonna go.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: You gotta go rock rockus is the only thing you
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: can use it.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, hyped wouldn't work. Rock Is definitely is much
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: better than that.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: But they've got multiple players. I mean, you come in
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: with four averaging double figures. Their leading scorer, amber Tredder.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: I thought this was interesting when you look at her
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: career numbers. She's in her third season with Miami. She's
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: played two thy, seven and twenty nine minutes, so it's
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: a veteran. She's played three.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Thousand rarity in today's game.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: She's played some games. So we'll say.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I didn't look into this yet. What was the last
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: time they were in the tournament. Are they a perennial
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: or is this a whole new world for them?
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Come back down here in a second, look at their number.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: One of their other double figure scores is played thirty
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: three hundred minutes, so I got a little experience Jordan.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Remember Jordan was over four thousand when she was in
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: here on Monday. That's a ton. I think that if
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: this is the first time you're in this tournament, it
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: is a bit of a wow. Right, it's a different
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Everything changes, even the hope costume will look different. Right,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: You'll you'll have the NCAA tournament logos all over the court,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: press table, the press tables coming down. They understand. I
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: think the press table's coming down out to be neutral, right,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: press table's coming down, and you'll see a lot more
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: of that. So West Virginia obviously not all of these
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: ladies have been into the nc DOUBLEA, but there are
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: multiple that have played in the NCUABLEA tournament. So I
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: think that's a huge advantage. So if this is all
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: new for Miami of Ohio, then you might be able
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: to catch them in a little bit of a bump potentially.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, next week, UN listened to them, just doing some research.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: I understand. Next week, as we said, what do wdv's
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: men's basketball team will resume practice as they start to
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: get ready for its matchup against Stanford. Abuka O Corey
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Abuca O Corey probably the best player in college that
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: you have not heard a lot about yet. This season,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: West Virginia will face him freshman guard from New Hampshire
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: that is blowing it up at Stanford twenty three points
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: per game. So if you haven't seen him play, I
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: put out a tweet and you can just look up
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: his name and find it. Woo dynamic as impressive now,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: not as good shooting percentage probably from three than Kingston Flemings,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: but in the lane the highlight film I've seen, I mean,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: he's right there and perhaps a little bit more in
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: level of difficulty.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, his start and stop might be better. His starting
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: stops not far off from what honor or start and
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: stop is. Where people have so much trouble staying in
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: front of him. That's going to we'll get into an
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: extensive scouting report on him, but that's going to be
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: a show a lot of jerseys and getting the gaps. Now,
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Pitt did a nice job on him in the ACC Tournament.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: In the win, they held him fairly in check. But
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be a big challenge. Go back to Miami
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: for a second. Now, they come in this particular group.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: Over the last couple of years, they've won a ton
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: of games. They were twenty eight and six last year,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: or excuse me this year. Last year won nineteen games
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: as well, But they have not appeared, if this is accurate,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: in an NCAA tournament since two thousand and eight. So
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: it's been a little bit here.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Now this is one where if you're West Virginia, obviously
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: you got to use the home courtyard advantage. You were
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: so hard to get to this what do we call
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: it a raucous environment, Use it to your advantage.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, go get him. Oh it will be go handle it.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: I think it'll be stupid.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: I think it will too.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think the I think Mountaineer fans
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: will be will be lathered up and you could call
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: him raucus. Three guys before the game is brought to
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: us by Jan Dills, attorneys at Law. Amanda, a client,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: wrote this, I had the pleasure of working with Jendal's

  Speaker 1: We'll play on Monday inside Hope Coliseum to advance on
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: to the Suite sixteen.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: That'd be a fun opponent if you get if you
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: get Kentucky, that's one of those you don't see them often,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: but it feels like that should be a good, big
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: rivalry because of the proximity.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: They got a huge, huge scorer on that team. You
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: read about her, I've all got there yet. Holy h

  Speaker 1: for TCU.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: A lot of game left.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, there's a lot of game left, but I
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: mean I'd rather be I'd rather.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, as Ohio State starts making shots now that you
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: say that, I.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Would have rather been up eight there instead of anyway.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: So Forton's this this will be his last run in
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: the tournament.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Who knows?
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, Jordan Harrison played four thousand minutes,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: He's got nineteen.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Thousand minutes, no eligibility rules anymore. I don't think he
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: could apply for a waiver. No, I think this is it.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Hey, let me tell you this. We've touched about upon
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: this in the past, and I want to hit this
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: up again. We also have historic stuff going on because
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Nebraska is trying to play and it's trying to win
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: its first ever nc DOUBLEA tournament game. Think about that.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: That's truly remarkable.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Say that again.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: It's remarkable.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: See, the University of Nebraska has never won a man's
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: game in the NCUBAA basketball Tournament. Now, Brad and I
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: were on hand to see them lose nineteen ninety eight Boise,
• 30:38

  Speaker 1: They should bring back that bouncy head thing. That was
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: a great one.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the Nebraska one.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Was I like the Mountaineer mask, the big bounce.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: It could have been better. It wasn't managed for a while.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: To be perfectly candid.
• 31:31

  Speaker 2: Business and Industry Experiential Learning Fund. If you're so inclined,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: both of those would be awesome options. But wherever you give,
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: we'd be appreciative.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an unbelievable program because they teach these kids
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: of the music business and then they're literally out there
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: and they are performing and they're recording and they're doing
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. So that's also a super good thing.

• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Now jump ahead twenty six visitors, Section packed throughout the
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: weekend and at various locations I visited. It was a
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: good reflection on how far the baseball program has come,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: and even more so over the past few years. I'm
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: the way out. Sweet security guard who I had seen
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: all weekend told me thanks for coming. Yet I felt
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: obligated to hit her with a thanks for having us.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Ye as should be none the wiser. It truly was
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: a great weekend to be a mountaineer. There's Cody in
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Fort Worth by way of Ravens.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Would that's why the thanks for having us is Sona.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: It's perfect on your way out, just thanks for having us.

  Speaker 2: It's very nice thing to say. Absolutely, this is a
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: TC again. He's sent a picture. He had a picture there, Jake.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: If you see it anywhere floating around it, you can
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: see the baseball, you can see the green and the
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: gold of Baylor. It's there somewhere, Phil Free Jake. If
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: you see it anywhere, just a flash it at your convenience. Brad,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: this is to you, Brad says, that basket there it is. Yeah,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: a pretty good seat. I've been to that stadium.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: It's nice.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: So West Virginia was there on a two day basketball
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: layover in the season had just started and it was
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: freezing cold, and I went over there, like they played
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: like Houston Baptists and I sat there watched them. So
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: it was great, good weekend. Brad says basketball officials performances
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: should be brought up in discussed. He says they should
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: be available to ask about bad calls and explain why
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: they did certain things. If we should be able to
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: do that, then why not be able to bring up
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: individual players play? They are being paid and what they
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: do has ramifications in all kinds of ways too.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: What do you think he's referring to individual players? Are
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: criticisms of individual players are brought up constantly in every
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: format there is.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: I think he I think he wants some like named
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: name like Johnny Jones man that he sucked Johnny Jones
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: miss fifteen shots? Why is he shooting that? I think
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: he wants a little bit of.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: That that's available if you'd like to find that. That
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: he means here, Well, I think we talk about performances
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: every time we're on the air.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean this is not I mean, I don't
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: need to tell you. I mean we never have gotten
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: on kids, and I understand what you're saying now that
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: they're getting paid. I get that part of it, but
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: I mean just absolutely torching kids like you'd hear on
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: like Philadelphia talk radio or New York talk radio, like, No,
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: that's that's not us, not what we do. Meanwhile, this
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: is some as we get ready for the NCAA one
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: look back. Here's some pictures sent to us. You know Everyboddy,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Tim Morgan send these to us. Sure, Coach kell Ogg
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: cutting down that and that that'll never get old to see.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: You also had uh there she is the world championship
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: but we forgot to ask her about that belt. Jordan
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: with the World championship belt? What else?
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Do a great picture? That confetti?
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: There's a director of athletics, yea with Rachel with Rachel Morgan,
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: the alternate mountaineer this year. She was there. And that's Tim,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: the guy that took the pictures. I don't know. Someone
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: must say, and there's Junior. Now. The question I have
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: this about Junior is this like he's got a fluorescent
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: green flying w V and your mouth is cringing because
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: you used to be in this world and that makes
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: you hyper vent late when you see something that's illegal.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: I send the filters just off on that he would
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: he wouldn't wear a neon green.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: No, he did.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: No, that wouldn't be possible.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: He did, because until I saw that picture, I'd wondered
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: where that had gone out of my closet. And then
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: I said he took it. And not only did he
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: take it, he wore it.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Had to be that glass floor reflecting up. He wouldn't
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: have worn that. Poor Jor.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: Texter Seth from Kentucky, longtime listener, first time text. If
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: you would have told me before the season that we
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: would have finished eighteen and thirteen, nine and nine in
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: the Big Twelve, I would have taken that without hesitation.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: This team's fight has been fun to watch. Hopefully we
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: can win some games in tournament play. Get up to twenty.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Hodge is the guy for the job, Texter. I chuckled
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: when I heard Fran for Schilla on the TV broadcast
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: talk about Jay Wright giving him grief about saying villain
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: over the thought of you guys, I know, I lose
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: points for not listening to the radio broadcast.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: As first reported.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: That's awesome Jay caught it to that.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't know.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: And now Fran has been he has been exposed for
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: saying villainov.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: He's not the only one. No, that's funny.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: A lot of people in the Northeast give it a
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: villain over.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: And in Oklahoma.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: Hey, three guys, m already did that one, same one,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: same one? Did that one twice? Uh, Texter, do you
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: guys think that rich Rod can invite aj De Bonsa
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: to spring football practice? Coach the stiff arm? Also, did
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: you know that Andy Reid was at the Big twelve games?
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: ESPN only told us twenty two times.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: It had good seats.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Every night got better. Like the first night he was
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: like one row back. Second night he's on the floor,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: Third night he was coaching. Well.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: Good spot in case Kevin Young needed some counsel and.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: You had Mahomes across the way. That doesn't hurt, right, Texter.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Jordan and Sydney maybe one of your best episodes ever.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: Impressive young ladies. For sure. Sydney stayed one more year
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: at Auburn because bolting after one was the easy route. Wow.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: Do you not think that pound for pound Jordan Harrison
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: one of the toughest competitors ever at WVU. Great job, guys, Yeah,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: Would she be in conversation wouldn't she. Oh yeah, she's
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: fun to watch.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she absolutely would be in that conversey she
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: sticks her face in the fan. Right, he ain't bagging down, No, no, no, no,
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: no backing down. You know who?
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: You know she takes some that big twelve defensive Player
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: of the year. Think of the lineage of defensive Player
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: of the years that have come through here and then,
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: quite frankly, something that haven't won it. SAgs never won it,
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: right and SAgs never win it. Should have.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: I don't think he did, could have. Someone on the
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: social media has put up his two handed block of
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: Makai LUTs to watch. I watched it like ten more times.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: Did you see it this week? Yeah? And I'm just
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: every time I'm looking at it, I go, how the
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: hell did you do that? How did he do that?
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: But you know what it was. He was coached, you know,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: endlessly go up straight, go up straight. If you bend,
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: they're going to call the foul. So he just like
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: unbelievable for But it's.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: Rare to be able to jump that high with both arms.
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: Elevator right, That's why you normally dunk with one when yellow.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: But it's just you go back to I mean obviously
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: before Press Virginia, but that really put it on the map.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: But both men's and women's Now, as you go through
• 44:07

• 46:03
  Speaker 1: How's the floor?
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: A bunch of questions about the floor.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: He was giddy.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, chat, it's good to talk with him.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: He was giddy. I texted Brian Asterds, the TCU play
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: by play guy this morning, and I said, you guys
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: can get them as long as you get a good whistle.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: And they don't allow Fortin from Ohio State just to
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: flop around like a seal all game. And so far
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: they've done.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: They are eating him up. Yeah, Big twelve defenses coming through,
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: isn't it early? It's of offensive foul.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You know why, Brad, because in the Big twelve.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: Guard they did call him offensive ool.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: Your guard, you do guard, Let's go man, let's go.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: Horn from Einstein's one of the officials too, So they
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: have a guy that's familiar with Big twelve that helps.
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: He knows that does matter in those postseason tournaments. We'll
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: talk about that as we get ready for the Crown.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: That's going to be a big, big deal. You start
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: to play these crossover games against other conferences and get
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: crews that don't officiate the same way they do in
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: the Big Twelve, where they don't allow the physicality that's
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: a that's a factor in these games.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: You should get solid officials at the Crown because by
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: the time West Virginia plays you just what you will
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: not have. You'll have the only officials you're not going
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: to get are the ones that are going to work
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: the final four in the title game. Everyone else is
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: in the mix.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: Agree it just but it matters style. If you get
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: some guys that spend their whole season in the ACC
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: that is called completely differently than the Big Twelve is
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: called Yeah.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Tony Brett Hoppey sending greetings from Joe and Paula Oliverio,
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: Pleasants County. Inside Santa's village at the Arctic Circle. We
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: told him the three of you have been good boys,
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: and he said, no call for you. Last year's pictures
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: they sent us were from the South Pole in Antarctica.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: Well this year a pick from the North in the
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: Arctic in Finland. Let's go mountaineers. May that my guy?
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: They travel, Holy heck, they travel right, Texter, Hey, guys,
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: always a West Virginia connection story. We're out in Arizona
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: for red spring training, then off to White Sands, New
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Mexico to participate in the Baton Memorial Death March Marathon.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: Oh my, at the Reds game this evening I ran
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: into these two young ladies, Bod and Neula WVU volleyball players.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: They are here on spring break. Not surprisingly, they were
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: as nice as could be.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. He went on to say that today's show featuring
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: the women's backcourt really entertaining. I did not have Ozzy
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: Osbourne on the playlist on my bingo card. Traffic are
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: terrific representatives of the school in the state. That's Phil
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: Hall Ashley, Kentucky. So he's going to go do the
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: Baton Memorial.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: Good luck on the death march there marathon, I'd.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Rather go to Santa's Kingdom. To be quite honest with.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: You, Sidney Shaw was the one. In case you hadn't
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: listened yet, spoiler alert, Ozzy Osbourne, that's favorite artist. Did
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: not see that coming as.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: Right now, she says, she cycles through a lot of stuff.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: Texter three, guys, sorry for the long text in advance.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: I appreciate, applaud your comments concerning lower level officials. I've
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: been officiating high school sports going on twenty years. Started late,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: looking back, wish I would have started when I was younger.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: I'm sixty three now. There are a lot of dedicated
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: officials out there trying to give the kids the best
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: possible officiated game, but unfortunately, no matter how much they try,
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: there are good people who are poor officials. That's a
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: great line. Hey, guess what, there's really good people that
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: are poor officials. It is tough even for fellow pros. Sadly,
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: even great lower level officials take abuse. The turnover of
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: younger officials extremely high. The bulk of officials in West
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Virginia are getting older. If things don't somehow turn around
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: in the next five years, we'll see even more shortages.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: Tony is absolutely spot on about mental and physical fatigue.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: I sometimes go six days a week. It's not easy
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: juggling your job, pays the bills, and then traveling up
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: to two and a half hours each way for games
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: and then do it again tomorrow. I one hundred percent
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: agree with Brad and that officials need accountability at every level,
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: but especially at the D one level. Most high school
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: officials try to get honest reviews from their fellow peers
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: and even respected coaches concerning their performances. Film review a
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: big key for wanting to improve. I could go on,
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: but this text is long already. Again, I appreciate your comments,
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: Love your show. Signed by a tired official in West Virginia.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: Yeh see, I think that's the bigger concern. It's not
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: at the division ie level. You've reached that level, you
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: can handle the discussion around your performance. I think you
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: get in these lower levels, Tony, and that this gentleman's
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: absolutely right. You've got to be worried about shortages coming.
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: We've seen that, and quite frankly, some of the things
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: I've seen in youth basketball are just absolutely abhorrant, just ridiculous,
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: how people treat officials at that level. That to me
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: is where the bigger concern lies in the treatment of
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: officials in youth, middle school, high school. The guys doing
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: these games, it can tune that stuff out for the
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: most part. I mean, that's part of the deal. They've
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: risen to that level. That's part of the deal. They're
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: used to the criticism of their performance when warranted. I
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: think it's those other lower levels that's where I have
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: a ton of respect for anybody that's out there doing
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: that and the textures right, we certainly need more of those.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's a way to fix it, but it's
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: almost impossible to fix it if you get if you
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: get people screaming and you just systematically just say you're
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: gone and just start booting people. I know it'll Initially
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: it will cause absolute hell, but you know what, over
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: a period of time, if they get it and they
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: know and you get run, it will take away somewhat.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: But I guess I said it's almost impossible. That's tough,
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: oh ieople.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: Have to have a little personal responsibility too, when you're
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: losing your mind and threatening officials and you're at the
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: third and fourth grade level. Got an issue? I get
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: you got an issue. See it all the time. So
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: kudos to those folks.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: Do we do everything we're supposed to do?
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know, probably not.
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: This is gonna be one those ones where after we
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: stop recording, like like, oh crap, we forgot to think
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: real quick.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: Likely we did Day of Giving on the twenty fifth
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: connection three oh four fund.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: Have any events coming? We do, but not quite yet.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: We got stuff coming, but nothing that is imminent in
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: the next week or so.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: Football update coming next week. Yeah, Men's basketballupdate coming next week.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: Story of the week's women's basketball.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll be back.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Rifle team won a world championship. Did we talk about
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: that last show? We need to get John on here.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: I've thought about that. I was actually going to get
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: him on today.
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we need to get him on I.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: Wanted, but I said, well, we might have a window
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: next week to do it. Yeah, we'll get.
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: General effort on that. I think we got it.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, hopefully, hopefully we didn't do enough damage. It didn't
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: do too much damage, all right, So here we go.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: Keep rooting for those big twelve teams. I think it
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: is good for the league to have success in the
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: post season, and we'll get into that and more coming up.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: We'll get back together on Monday. Hop we'll be back
• 53:04
