• 0:52
  Speaker 1: new era of WVU men's basketball. West Virginia will open
• 0:56

• 1:02
  Speaker 1: look at the most flipped Mountaineer basketball roster since nineteen
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: forty four. Zeid fact fact fact forty three team to
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the forty four team. There was no carryovers of players.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: That was the world, you know, World War going on there,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: and now this one's got one player. So this is
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the biggest roster turnover. We'll talk about that coming up.

  Speaker 2: It's beautiful.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lou Wendel Marine Sales dot com. Three
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: guys also brought to us by Tutor's Biscuit World Start
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: your day the homemade way. We have a really interesting
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: text later about the naming of one of Tutor's biscuit
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and how it turned out to be that name.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: We needed three guys biscuit excuse me, we're open to it.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, all you have to have three things on it. Yeah,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: probably Vegan. Three guys is a marketing world over there.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Why don't you have a couple of things going on
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: with your daily job? Now you're getting into marketing. That's
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: very good.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Three guys also brought to us by Conley CPA Group,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: providing value beyond the numbers.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, give me kerchevill over here in product development,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I like this. Give me on there screaming about the election.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Ay over there, coming up with biscuits.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: So just an idea. So turn that over to Dave
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: with helme, miss Dave. That's that's about all I got.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: That was very right there. It was.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: You should do, should come up with a biscuit?
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Three things on?
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm out.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I'll talk to you a month. Is that done? That's
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: exactly right. Just did a.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Creed if there was, if there was a three guys biscuit?
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Is it too much to put three eggs on one biscuit? Yes,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: that's too much.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Probably too much.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: It's easy to do too, like I double egg Okay,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: that's easy. Like a three guys biscuit that would have
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: three eggs? Would that be the way to go?
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: No, too much, He's probably right, three different items.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I totally disagree with you because I eat multiple eggs
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: at the time.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: How about well, I don't know. It's the product development
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: is not going well at the moment. We better do
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: one oh one.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: They always say, don't market to yourself.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, a good point. So you just did that.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: You tried to assume just because you eat three, that's
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: also typical of you.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: You assume because it's good.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: For you, that it would be good for everybody. That's
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: literally rule number one that you learn, Martionary, market to yourself.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: It's a really good point.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Is probably so because also if they had a tony
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: scrambled egg platter like eight eggs.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a five egg guy.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I agree, I go more than three
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: at a time.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I get it. But we're not.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, well, enough of that. We'll talk about the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: naming of a Tiers biscuit later in the show. As
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I said at the very start, this is a bye week,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: which means West Virginia obviously football is not playing, but
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: it has been a busy week. We recapped the Arizona
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: game on Sunday, and then on Monday, Neil Brown held
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: his weekly press conference. But on Tuesday he dropped the
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: biggest piece of news that has come out from this week,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: and that was that Jordan Leslie is no longer the
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: WVU defensive coordinator. He has been relieved of his duties
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and Jeff Coons, who has been serving as the inside
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: linebackers coach and the special teams coordinator, will take over
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: for the final four games of this regular season. So
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: significant in a different in a bunch of different fronts.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: You will talk about the inner workings of what will
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: it mean to West Virginia's defense, but just the mere
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: fact that a decision and a move was made in
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: season is certainly a very very big rarity, especially at
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: West Virginia University. Hopy's been around four decades plus. Greg
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Hunter also, I've been in This is forty one.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: For me.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I can never recall an in season coaching decision made
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: like this. However, it has become more prevalent in the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: college football space because higher dollars are being paid to
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the coaches in these positions, whether it's the head coach,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: whether it's a coordinator or an assistant, and with more
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: money comes more expectation, and when you don't hit those
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: numbers that are needed, than a possible move could be made.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: And they did do that. So that's kind of the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: overview of that significant hobau.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: I'll start here on this because I think we need
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: to say it when we start this discussion. I've said
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: to both of you on other forums, Hoppy on your
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: show and Tony, I think at these moments and listen,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: people do whatever they want, no matter what I say
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: to do or encourage. I'm going to take a moment
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: and have some grace with Jordan Leslie and his family
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: here for a guy that just lost his job. Kids
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: are gonna have changed school, family is going to be
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: uprooted for a guy and a family that gave the
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: most they could possibly give over the last six years
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: to help make this program better, to help make the
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: community better. Jordan has been very generous with his time
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: to this show and to media members in general, and
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: certainly wish them the best of luck moving forward for
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: a family that's had its lives turned upside down. I
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: know he's paid very handsomely. That's the risk reward part
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: of this business. But I do think it's appropriate before
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: you dive into everything that went wrong to take a
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: moment to just say thanks to Jordan Leslie for what
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: he gave to this community in this program and wish
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: him the best of luck moving forward.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't disagree. I totally agree with you one
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: hundred percent. For whatever reason that it didn't work. Don't know,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: will we ever know, not exactly sure, But it just
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: wasn't working. That doesn't make you bad. That just makes
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: you in this particular situation, with all of the pieces
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: around you, it was not happening in the ultimate goal
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: right in their business is to not allow points. And
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: West Virginia was in the bottom of those categories in
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: total defense, passing defense, and scoring defense. They're in either thirteen,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: fourteen or fifteen right now in the Big Twelve Conference.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Solid run stop team, they're number three in the league
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: right now. But the fact that you've got passing teams
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: coming up in three of the next four games to
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: close the regular season, Neil Brown is obviously thinking that
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: a change will improve the team's chances going forward. Whether
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: it does or not, we'll see in the next month.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: But that was the reason why the move was made.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I got a lot to unpack on this, sure, and
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I'll start by building on what both of you said,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: and that is the personal side of this, because you
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: are talking about human beings. You're talking about people who'd
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: work together for what ten years, and I have been
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I have fired people, and I have been in on
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: firings and I have been fired. It's been a long time,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: but you never forget that. Okay, that that that isn't
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: that is an upheaval. That's a life changing upheaval because
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: of what it says, not only about losing your job,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: but it says that you've someone is saying you failed,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: and that's that's hard to accept. So, uh, it is.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: It is very traumatic. Obviously it's more traumatic for the
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: person who got fired, but for the person who does
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: the firing, it's traumatic as well. Number one. So that's true.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: And you're right, Jordan Leslie has been a friend of
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: this program, has never been anything but great with us,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: so you hate to see that for him on a
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: personal level. On a more detachment level, I tell you
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: what a firing does. It gets people's attention. So anybody
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: in that building now, and I'm not talking about making
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: people scared, they might not building. They just went ooh,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: this is real, this is real. The DC just got
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: fired because the head coach does not think he's getting
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: the job done. I better make sure I'm doing my job.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: That's the message everybody gets. They may they probably feel
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: bad for Jordan Leslie. They might even question the decision,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: but inevitably you internalize those things. So you're thinking, how
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: does this affect me? I better make sure I'm getting
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: myself and gear players say ooh, this just got my attention.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: So a firing gets people's attention. And I don't know
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: if it's a good firing or bad firing. That's TBA.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: If West Virginia gives up forty points agains Cincinnati might say,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: well it was a bad firing. But if the defense
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: is better, you might say, okay, this was the right decision.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: But it gets it gets you focused in a hurry.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: That's go ahead, No, go ahead, I'll add on that.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I'll go ahead and finish what you're doing. Well, I
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: got more, so go ahead.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: And well I was just going to say, you hope
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: that's what it does. The intent of the firing is
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: to get people's attention. Okay, yeah, there were some people
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: whose attention wasn't got up to this point. So sometimes
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: what also happens in this situation because they have been
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: in locker rooms where this is the case, guys, you
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: are looking around going, well, they're not talking about me.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, he didn't get fired because I didn't do
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: my job.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Well, he didn't do his job.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: So there's some of that too, Yes, So you can't
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: assume that the message that was intended is received by everybody.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: And I think that's part of what you're looking for
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: moving forward, is Jordan took the fall on this. There's
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: a lot of blame to go around. You can do
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: a lot of finger pointing, and you can go to
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: a lot of different people around that entity that you
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: could say, hey.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: You weren't doing it. Either you weren't doing it, you
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: weren't doing it.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of that hop So one guy got removed,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of people that should be should be
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: doing what you just said and saying, all right, what
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: do I have to do to be better so that
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: either I'm not gone or I don't get another coach fired.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: So there's a lot of work to be done here.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: This wasn't an automatic cleanup because one guy has removed from.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: His good context of that, another point is if you
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: listen to Neil Brown throughout the season, and again we
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: talk a lot about the fact that Neil Brown's pretty
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: cantid and I went back and looked at his comments
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: from his Monday press conference. Let me just pick out
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: a few of them and talk about the Arizona game. Quote,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: very poor in the fourth quarter. I'm not hiding from that.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Didn't like the way we finished our past defense wasn't
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: good enough. I'm not avoiding that or ignorant of that.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: It hasn't been good enough all year. He went on
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: to say, and this was about the play of Trey
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Lathan being covering McMillan twice in a row, and he
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: raised questions about that. He said, once I can understand it,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: but twice, why are you in the Tampa two and
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Trey Lathan ends up guarding McMillan. Why is that the
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: And Trey Lathan felt bad that he had failed, but
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: was he put in a position to fail? Neil Brown
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: also said Kansas State in the first half is the
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: best we played, but they got then they got some
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: things on us in that coverage in the second half.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: He probably talked in those in that press conference a
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: half dozen times or more specifically about defensive failures. Now
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: at the time, you're just thinking what because it's Monday,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: you're thinking, okay, once again, defensive problems. I got to
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: get a corrected week off, et cetera, et cetera. Now
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: after Tuesday, you're thinking, Wow, that laid the groundwork. Now
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: it becomes the picture becomes clearer when you see what
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Neil Brown was thinking. And by the way, another key
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: point is that was and Bradon, you and I have
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: talked about this. That was Neil Brown's decision that he
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: informed that. That wasn't Rin Baker come in and say
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: you better fire somebody this week. This was Neil Brown's decision.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Because if, as you've pointed out, if it's the ad
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: saying you better fire somebody, now you got a real problem.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: So that's that's what I got on that.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Well, it remains to be seen if it works. That's
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: your hope is that for these final four games, that
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: it does provide a spark. Like you said that there
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: are some guys that stand up in that locker room
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: and take some accountability and play better or listen better
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: or whatever the problem has been that has caused multiple
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: busts for big plays that that gets buttoned up, because, yeah,
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: as we talked on your show the other you're getting
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: some teams that want to throw the football. Three of
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: the next four like to throw the ball, including a
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Texas tech that we know what they've been for twenty
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: years Baylor and Jake Spavatol. We've seen that here. He's
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: going to go deep and attack that secondary constantly right
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: at nauseum, so you better be ready. And Cincinnati throws
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: as well, so you're going to get to see some
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: results right away. But it better be a bunch of
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: people standing forth and giving better performances there, so.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: We'll find out.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: So Jeff Konz comes in, as I said, he has
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: been at WVU since twenty twenty and came from Ole Miss,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: so his tenure goes all the way back to two
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: thousand and four. He got into this business as a
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: graduate assistant. He served as a GA at Auburn and
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: then at Texas, and he was a linebackers coach at Texas,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Iowa State Secondary and special teams, back to Texas Defensive
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: quality Control, then Louisiana Tech Cincinnati, and he was at
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati from fourteen through sixteen and served as a co
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: defensive coordinator with the Bearcats in twenty sixteen, then seventeen
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: and eighteen at North Texas the Old Miss deal for
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: one season in twenty nineteen, then here at WVU since
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Good guy and the hope now is his voice,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: as you guys said.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Makes everyone step it up. Got to step up, yeh.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Just go back to the well, go back to the
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I mean every game this season there have been just
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: noticeable pass defense problems, wide open receivers and and it's
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: cost the Mountaineers games playing and simple. The pit game
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: was there for the taking and could not get it done.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: So we'll see and you make a change. Like I said,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: extremely unique, and how it plays out, we'll find out.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: In the mind, I don't i'd refer to you and Hunter.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: But like you guys, I don't remember an end season no,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: do you.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: No.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: We had one in August once at the start, just
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: before camps started, but it wasn't it wasn't performance based.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: It was something else. And other than that, I can't remember.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, very rare. I can't remember, all right.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: So the Mountaineers with practices and rest this week and
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: they get ready for Cincinnati. They'll start full scale preparation
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: on Sunday. Like West Virginia, Cincinnati is off this week.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: There are six Big twelve teams that are off this weekend,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: and the Mountaineers and the Bearcats we'll get it together.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: So the first league game for West Virginia at Cincinnati
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: since our Big East days, so we're going back more
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: than a decade. Nippert Stadium, Nippert. Last time we played
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: him was at Paul Brown. Oh have played him there
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: ten times ends this in the city of Cincinnata.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Have won nine different league so I will assume the
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: replay official will be a different person than the one
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: that absolutely botched, missed, screwed up royally. He talked about
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: people that should be removed from their positions in the
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Isaiah Isaiah Peede involved in a fumble slash non fumble.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah called it a fumble, They called it a.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: They called it a fumble on the field.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Then reverse that win whatever it didn't win against the Mountaineers,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: and it was a horrific call.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: It seems to me if I were called correctly. The
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: athletic director of the university at that time didn't appreciate
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: the didn't appreciate call, and he paid a visit to
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: the h that room next to our broadcast booth that
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: said Big East Official replay no visitors allowed. It seemed
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: as though he missed that part of the sign. Gave
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: it a couple want to get in.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: And confirm or deny that may have had a good
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: view of that. But what if that may have happened
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: allegedly he was right?
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Well, sure, Haddie was right. Yeah, we went right in.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: I don't remember that get screwed, screwed missed it.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: So anyway, assume it'll be a different person, different league
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: at this point, so maybe they'll handle the replay a
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: little more judiciously.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: You think that was karma. That call was karma from
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: when their kicker Jonathan Ruffin hit the upright gave Rich
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Rodriguez his first road victory.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Big win.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: It was a huge one, big win. That was a
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: big exhale.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, when that thing.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Doinked, it was a massive doinker going from our right
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: to left on your radio dial.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: That was a huge one.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So that it might have just been karma from
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: being told them out near couldn't bring the prop into
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: the stadium by certain people. And I'll tell you that
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: might have just been a karma coming back on.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And since we're also doing all of this stream
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: of consciousness stuff, I maintained this moment that the year
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: that West Virginia is this the same year, right, if
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: you don't beat Cincinnata at Cincinnata because their quarterback breaks
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: his leg on a sack and they had to put
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: in Munchy Lago, remember, very good Nchy difference. Munchy Lago
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: had to come in. You get beat that day. I
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: forget who the young man was that was their quarterback.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: But what year Kolaris very good?
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, thank you.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: We're not just messing around over here. You want to
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: go deep on old school rival, we'll do it. Okay,
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: we'll give you a munch of Lago and Zach Calaris
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: here we go.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: However, you know and I know that that's just stuck
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: up there somewhere and for some reason.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: You know, it fragmented hard space. So yes, so monce,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: you of Lago had to come in, wasn't ready to play.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: We win? You don't beat them that day. I just
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: had a because Kolaris was throwing it and he gets hurt,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: and that was it. I think you get beat. But
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: what happens if you don't win that game? What happens?
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: I don't remember?
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I think, right, I'll go look it up, but I
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: think like, if that doesn't happen.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll just say I got a thought on that
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: well you're looking up what you're going to look up?
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: I will say this, hop yes, this that little two
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: minutes is exactly why I like Cincinnati being back in
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: the league because born of a.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Couple of things.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Proximity helps number one and number two. Weird things that
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: you can be offended over, or a grievance can arise,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: right yes, whether it's the fault of anybody that still
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: exists or not, you can bring that up. And we
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: just gave you a bunch of them right there that
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: that go back. So I'm thrilled. In all seriousness, I
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: am thrilled Cincinnati's in the league. I think that's good
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: for West Virginia to have the Bearcats.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Mountain New fans can get there. It's I think it's great.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Much of LAGU is with Benedict College. He's their quarterback coach.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Is he really the all time great names?
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, I just want to say one thing because of
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: one thing. So two thousand, so yeah, so westn Virginia, Okay, yeah, okay, So.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: What year are you?
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Twenty eleven?
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, if you check this out, if.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: If he doesn't get hurt and you lose that game,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: right then at that point, they were twenty three in
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: the country. Cincinnati was twenty three. You beat them twenty
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: four to twenty one, and that was in Paul Brown Stadium.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: You come back, you beat Pitt twenty one twenty. Then
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: you win the game at us F. Yeah, when Deadman
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: fell on top of the ball and he almost you know,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: a dragon.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Kicks orange, You're going you don't go to the Orange Ball.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: If you lose the game at Cincinnata, you don't go
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: to the Orange Bowl. You don't score seventy seventy points seven.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: And I'd say this, listen, I'm gonna go run one
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: step further. And I believe this. I don't think Dana
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Holgerson is the coach at West Virginia for as long
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: as he was. If West Virginia doesn't beat Cincinnati on
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: that day because you don't see Clemson, you don't score seventy,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: it completely resets the whole mindset. I truly believe that.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't argue that. I'll also go further. You also
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: reset Clemson's program, Yes you did. You went from absolutely
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: embarrassing them on a national stage. Do they turned into
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: a dynasty immediately? Like change their mode of operations changed
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: how they did things. Yeah, you helped create their dynasty.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Correct, put them into it. Yeah, absolutely got their defensive
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: coordinator fired the day after the bowl game.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: So who knows if Dabo survives as long as he
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: has survived, given what that night looked like before they
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: changed how they do things.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: All right, lost to Louisville there, Yeah that was beat wreckers.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: So yeah, so good the good rivalry here. I like this.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: So that's the next.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Game anyway, Well, may have gone off on a tangent there,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: but it'll be West Virginia Cincinnati, a high noon kick,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: and Cincinnati is better than people had thought that they
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: would be when you started the season. You looked at
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: the Cincinnati game and you go, You'll go in there
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: and get Cincinnati. So you just hope that West Virginia,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: who has played well on the road, can go out
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: there and get another W and then come home for
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: the final two games of the regular season at home,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: you go Baylor UCF and then you got one more
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: obviously on what would you call that if it's Black
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Friday and you're playing on Saturday, which a gray Saturday
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: just kind of goes down on the gradients. Saturday Saturday
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: after Thanksgiving Saturday, Saturday after Thanksgiving.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: All Right, that was a weird schedule that year, open
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: with Marshall the Norfolk State, Maryland LSU bowling Green Connecticut.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: It seems like a weird schedule, didn't it. Yeah.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Isaiah Peede had two touchdowns in that loss. Munchie so
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Kolaris was seven for eleven for seventy yards, and Munchie
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: came in and went ten of twenty one with an
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: interception and no touchdowns.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: The rare backup against the Mountaineers that didn't go enter
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: into Heisman contention.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, unlike who's the Jeff Nuffie je Duffy jet Duffy
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Gina was Gino threw for three Yeah, Gino threw for
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: three seventy two in that game.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: That's how crazy this is. You talk about different philosophies.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: West Virginia threw for three seventy two, ran for thirty two.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Just different style of line up and throw it with
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: that group. Taevon caught nine balls for one twenty six.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Part of why you're throwing it. Yeah, Stedman through caught
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: six for one hundred and four. Party.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: So those guys win fifteen receptions for two thirty.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Well, you got an NFL quarterback, Got an NFL receiver,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Go another two NFL receivers. Yeah, I'm gonna throw it. Yeah.
• 24:19

• 28:20
  Speaker 1: which means like a good wine, they've matured. They know
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: exactly what's going on. Technology has also changed a lot
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: since they went into business, so they now offer the
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: ability for you to outsource your accounting and your CFO services.
• 28:33

  Speaker 2: That's a deal.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Remove the stress and the time associated with dealing with
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. Like Conley's CPA group do it. You
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: can do what you want to do. That's why you
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: got into business. You didn't get into business, right saying like, jeez,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: I'd like to spend a lot of time filling out
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: governmental forms and figuring out tax law. Conley's cps that
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: it's okay, we got we'll take care.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, the Conley folks got into business to do.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: That's why they did it. You know, you didn't have to,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: so you don't have to, right, all right? Bingo, all right, So,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: as I said.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Earlier, Mike loves sitting down figuring out tax coding, getting
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: into all that.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, they liked that stuff.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Mike's one of the good ones. Mister Mike's over there
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: at Conley CPA group. Here we go, let's jump in.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: As I said, the greatest roster flip since nineteen forty
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: four for WV basketball. Forty four was the the only
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: year we can find in which the complete roster changed
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: from one year to the next. Right, So, the world,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: the post World War two is going on and things
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: obviously are just sporadic, And so this year West Virginia
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: returns one player, Overnov. He averaged two points a game,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: so pretty much as close as you can get to
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: starting from scratch. So, senator, question for you first man,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: I offer.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: A question sure open for him here, what.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Was your what was your pre.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: In doing this?
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Like, how do you meld together a group that hasn't
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: played yet together?
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: So what I did for this, we'll talk about it,
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: and the same ghost for Robert Morris, your opponent, there's
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: you know, normally hot. I'll come in here as we
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: get moving in the season and we'll talk scotting reports
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: and what you need to do and do this for
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: this team and here's the matchup to exploit. Don't know
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: the answer to this one, right. That's why coaches talk
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: about these early seasons are really difficult. You're going to
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: look at a Robert Morris team that is almost completely
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: overhauled too, brings back three or four key retorneys, but
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: has brought new guys in Tony mentions the West Virginia
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: side of it. So what I did, guys, and we
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: can start this either in any direction you want. I
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: do have a little bit of a Robert Morris preview,
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: just a couple guys to watch with them and some numbers.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Or Andy Toole is still the coach there?
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: Correct fifteen season. If I'm not mistake fifteen years.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: You can.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: We can also jump into I did some numbers on Tobyoconnie,
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Tucker Devrees, and Javon Small that people will maybe find
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: some interest in and something to watch as the season
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: gets going. And watch those guys and see how they're
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: game has changed from last year or how it's remained similar.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Which of those would you prefer to start with? Start
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: with the West Virginia side of things. Then go to
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: the scouting report. Yes, it's not really a scouting reports,
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: just an overview. Let's talk Tobyocannie for a second.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Can we say that they beat Wake Forest yet?
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: No?
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: Okay, did not say that you'll probably get in trouble?
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: All right, go ahead, NCAA's all over.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: There, Tobyocannie. Hopy, Yes, really interesting peace to this team,
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: because you talk about a dude that has a pro body,
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: really long six seven six ' eight long arm, super athletic,
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: is going to be a guy that's called upon to
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: be a stopper for a wing type of player on
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: the other team, the other team's best wing, which, oh,
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: by the way, will be an NBA player every night
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: when you get into the league.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: So you're gonna ask Toby to guard an.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: NBA part, so his his defensive performance this year is
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: going to help determine how far.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: This team goes.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: But offensively he gives you a nice option as well.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: But here's where you watch where his game's evolved a
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: little bit. Tony fifty three percent of his points in
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: his career have come from in the lane. So once
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: you see him, that will make some sense. Given his
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: size and his body type and his athleticism. Playing at
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: Duquine in Illinois Chicago, you could see where he would
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: take guys neither back him down or just athletically be
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: able to get to the rim. Where he's worked extremely
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: hard since coming to West Virginia is on his outside shot,
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: in his three point shot, and has become somebody that
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: can knock down some threes. I think there'll be a
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: couple games at least where you look up and he's
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: going to be a guy that went off. You know
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: how West Rainy has had that over the last couple years,
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: where it's it's not your best three point shooter, it's
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: not your guy that takes the most, but you need
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: a guy some nights. A couple nights gets all different
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: guys that all of a sudden busts out four and
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: you're in a game later or maybe win a game
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: that you maybe thought you weren't going to. I think
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: Toby can be that guy. From a shooting perspective, he
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: likes his most frequent spot the left corner, left corner.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Three. Keep an eye on that left corner. Huh, left corner?
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: All right? So on the Mountaineer floor then, so second
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: half it'll be the corner toward the tunnel where they're
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: coming out. First half it'll be the corner next to
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: the opposing team's bench.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: Correct, So diagonal, Watch Toby in the left corner, left corner.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Three.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: Sure oooh sure, all right, Tucker devrees excited about Tucker
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: brings a lot to the table. Is going to do
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: a bunch of different things. Hop He has averaged one
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: point six seven made.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Threes in the season opener. Okay, in his career alright, so.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Just under two threes per game to start? Best spot
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: for Tucker.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Waitte ad time out? Yeah over under on one point
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: seven threes for Tucker on Monday against Robert more than
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, I'm going over two two point two.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Two and a half.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: I say mix three I three would be very doable.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: Three would be very doable. His best spot left wing,
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: shot forty four percent last year from the win. His
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: most frequent spot is the top of the key. He's
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: another guy, though. He's fascinating to see how his game
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: is at this level because he can do so many
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: different things. Like if you're guarding him, you can't just
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: come in and say we're going to run you off
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: the three point line, although that would be my first
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: thing I would try and do with him is get
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: somebody up on him and say you're not going to
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: beat us from three, because if he gets cranked up,
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: look out. I mean, he's gonna shoot it as well
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: as you've seen anybody come through here. Can shoot it
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: when he's hot. But he can also he's not afraid
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: to put it on the floor and get by you
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: and take a little mid range pull up.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: He's a guy.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: He got thirty one percent of his points last year
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: in the paint. So he'll get in the paint. He'll
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: work on that little move inside, a little fade away
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: back to create some space.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: He'll pull back there give you. He'll give you a
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: little old school fade away in the lane.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: He's got a nice repertoire. He really does, can do
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: many things too. Hop he'll distribute it to time looking forward.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: So there's Tucker, all right. Then Javon small, let's talk
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: about him for a second. Tremendous point guard. I think
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: the thing about him, doesn't he just feel like he's
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: He's effortless out there. He never feels like he's struggling
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: to get what he wants to get, be it a
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: shot or a pass or on the defense. He's just
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: he's smooth. He is fun to watch.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Smove's best word, doesn't labor. Does not labor to get
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: stuff done.
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: So last year he was one of the best mid
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: range shooters in the country in terms of percentage, but
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: he didn't take a ton of them. But he can
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: be dangerous too if you want to try and run
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: him off the three point line, which you probably should.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: He was thirty seven percent shooter from three. You probably
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: want to push him off the line, but he'll either
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: get right to the basket on you, or he'll pull
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: up and hit a mid range as well before he distributes,
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: So keep an eye on him. The also the thing
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: to watch with Javon two. He's one of the best
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: defensive rebounding guards in the nation, and that'll be important
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: hot because you're giving up some size at the five,
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: you're gonna need other guys to rebound. Javan will be
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: a guy. Won't shock me if he everges five six
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: rebounds a game this year.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: You know, we were talking to WVU co head coach
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: assistant associate associate.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: I think second answers is the title.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Same thing Chester Fraser on Monday. He made a great
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: point that I know never really thought about because Javon
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Small's rebounding numbers stand out for a point guard. You
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: go like, whoa why Jess Fraser said, well, he and
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: I you know, think a lot alike. No one ever,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: no one ever blocks out the point guard because the
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: opposing team's point guard is getting ready to go on
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: a run, he says.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: Or going to get the ball.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he wants to go with the outlet ball, and
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: it's a free run to the rim for the point guard,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: like no one's coming to get you. So he said,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: that's why he's such a good rebounder.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Then who gets back on defense because you give up
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: something there right, Well.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: Well he's not gonna I mean, he's not gonna come
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: down with six or seven offensive rebounds. He can sneak
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: in and get a couple offensive rebounds. He'll be more
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: important on the defensive end where you don't want to
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: give up you don't want to give up offensive rebounds
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: sy to the team. That'll be a thing to watch
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: with this West Virginia team. That's a big thing with
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Darren Right, do not turn it over offensively, do not
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: give up offensive rebounds to the opposing team. So you're
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: gonna ask all five guys to hit the defensive class there.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, those are his two biggest things. We talked
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: to him. He said, turnovers and do not allow offensive
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: rebounds i e. Defensive rebound. You better get all the
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: rebounds that are there. Two biggest things.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: So those are my three main West Virginia points. Okay,
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: So we go through more of the roster away till
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: after we wrap up Monday and just see how guys.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Probably don't You probably don't have enough data yet on
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Amani Hansbury to really get a good feel yet, because
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: they're going to ask him to do things that he
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: hasn't been asked to do in the past, which point
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: is a delight for him, which is a hey, go
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: out there and shoot it from distance. They were saying,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: green light, you gotta go, And so you probably don't
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: have a good feel yet on him.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: Correct hasn't played enough minutes in that role because he's
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: going to distribute as well. They're gonna run offense through him.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: Hop bring him out. Make the other big that you're
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: playing against. Right, That's one way you combat a lack
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: of size in the five is you're gonna come out
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: and say to they're big, Okay, come out, can you
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: guard us out here? Try and open the back of
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: that lane for some free flow movements. So Handsbury Hansbury's listen.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: We could say about different guys. There's a lot of
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: important guys to see how this team does. Hansbury's right
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: up that list because he is going to be undersized
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: at his position most nights. But that's also going to
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: create some advantages and make you a little bit different.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: And we've seen.
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: West Virginia teams football or basketball when you're different, they've
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: had some success doing that.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Since Sir Harris is also another guy who's going to
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: play a ton, but we don't have enough data yet
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: because he redshirted last season after playing a handful of
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: games at Illinois. But again talking to Chester Fraser this week,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: when they were at Illinois and he was a true freshman,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: they went up to they played UCLA right and he
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: just locked down a dude that was on his way
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: to the league. So I do think and Mountaineer fans
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: who saw him against the University of Charleston saw that
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: he has a defensive intensity that is similar to Javon Carter.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Don't say I said he's Jevon Carter. I'm just saying philosophically,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: he's that type of a guy that'll just get up
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: into your stuff.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: Athletically though, too, I'm very comfortable saying that's that guy
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: move as well laterally defensively. So I started in ninety
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: six here, You're gonna be hard pressed to find somebody
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: that can move laterally as well in a one on
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: one defensive situation as Harris has done. So he's gonna
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: be a guy the best guard on the other team
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: is gonna get Harris, and that's critical if he can
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: have the success that he's had early in locking down
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: various NBA prospects, which that wasn't the only he said,
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: where was that at UCLA? Yeah, it wasn't necessarily the
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: only one that has. Sincere has had good success against defensively,
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: if he can continue that and stay out of foul
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: trouble there, I mean, he's got a chance to be
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: a real difference maker on this team, never mind whatever
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: he gives you offensively as a bonus defensively at his size.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: And that's one of the weird things Tony about this team.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: We keep saying your disadvantaged its size in the five,
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: but I think that's the specific point there because at
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: the guard position, you're not you're gonna throw Harris out
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: there at sixty three, sixty four, that's rangy and strong.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: You're gonna bring Jonathan Powell in at sixty six and
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: played the two or the three. So you have some
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: positional size at other places, just not necessarily the five.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: Sincere is one of those guys. Yeah, he's going to
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: be a valuable piece of this.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: So, like you're scared of getting busted by the NCAA,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: is at your issue? Is that why you ran away
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: from that? Why you ran away from.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: No, Because there's a million people that want to put
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: it box scores out there when this happens. What I
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: am doing is respecting the agreement between Steve Forbes and
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: Darren that they weren't going to publicize or talk about it.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: That's no. You think I'm worried about the nca rules.
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: There aren't NCA rules. You think I'm worried about that. Well,
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: but I'm honoring the agreement between the two coaches.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: So you're saying that he locked somebody down against wake Forest,
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: I'm saying it.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: I No, I didn't say that. I'm saying Sincere Harris
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: has had very good success against high level players throughout
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: his career.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: WAT West Virginia have to self report.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: They probably don't even have that form anymore. They bred
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: They're like, hey, where's the self smart for? We don't
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: have him anymore.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Nobody the NCAA to send it to. Who would you
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: send the form to? I don't know, into filing, just
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: like I don't know. All right, So that's good. So
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: that's five.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: I mean there's a bunch of guys. We could go
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: through every guy in the roster. We'll do some of
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: that as we move throughout the season and the games,
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: and we do Tuesday's wrap up from Monday's game, we'll
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: talk about some guys that performed, Okay, a bunch of them.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Gimme Robert Morris colonials.
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: So the great on known with them is like everybody,
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: they've brought in a bunch of new additions. But that
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: was a team last year. They had an uncharacteristic rough
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: season for them. They just won ten games total, six
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: in conference. They've undergone some significant staff turnover and player turnover.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: They're challenged last year and again I'll give you some
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: last year stuff, but happy quite frankly, it doesn't matter
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: at all, right, they really struggled defensively, one of the
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: worst defensive teams in the country. Ken Palm this year
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: has then projected eighth of eleventh in the Horizon League. Also,
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: don't know how much you can put in. And I
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: think Ken Palm's the bible when it comes to basketball,
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: but you're going with a lot of incomplete data, so
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know what that stands for or means. Has
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: West Virginia projected as an eighty sixty three winner in
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: this one, again with an incomplete data set on both sides.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: So they're saying West Virginia by seventeen.
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: That particular projection, Yes, I will give you one. I
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: will give you one in the weeds. Since I knew
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: you were gonna ask me, sure, I'll give you one
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: in the weeds. Doesn't matter at all for this particular
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: game on Monday, but just kind of a fun number.
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: Robert Morris last year, small sample size, but they led
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: the country in made three pointers to tie the game
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: or take the lead late in the final seconds.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: That's bizarre, dude, because they won ten games.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: I know how about that.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: You talk about small sample size, So.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: There you go. I'm gonna guess it.
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: Clutch Gene last year as a team. Here's a guy
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: to watch for them, six ' five Josh Amojofo. I
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: hope I'm saying that right. You'll have that worked out
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: by Monday. D two transfer from Gannon.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Up there in Erie, PA.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: Had a great season last year, did Gannon. He was
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: a second team All American. So that's an interesting dude.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: But here's here's what you'll have to watch with him
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: on Monday. He absolutely assaulted the rim last year. Forty
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: nine percent of his shots were at the rim. Like
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: that's a good thing. That's a six y five I
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: mean six ' five athlete and D two on a
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: really good team. Just said you know and get out
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: the way. I'm just going right at the room, You
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: figure out how to stop me. Can he do that
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: against West Virginia? Will he get locked up on the
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: perimeter and not be able to get to the hoop?
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: My guess is he'll want to try and get to
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: the basket because West Virginia won't have a necessarily a
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: traditional shot blocker except when Eduardo Andres in there. But
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: so keep an eye on moge. I thought that's an
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: interesting move. We've seen that here in the Mountain East
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: Conference the last couple of years. There's a guy or
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: two that will move up to a mid major school
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: after playing at the Division two level. And hope you've
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: heard me talk for years there's some really talented basketball
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: players at the D two level. So that's one to watch.
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: Point guard for them is a new player cam Woods.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: Cam Woods played in thirteen games last year for an
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: NC State team that went to the Final four.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Now when were the thirteen games like November and December?
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: Or did he like play play.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: Played in thirteen games last year for Frencise State. The
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: year before he averaged seventeen a game at North Carolina
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: A and T. How many seventeen a game North Carolina
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: and T cam Woods. So that might be the lucky
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: soul that draws Sincere Harris to start.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an interesting career path. So he went North
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: Carolina A and T North Carolina State. Now Robert Morris,
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: huh okay.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: Their best.
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: They have a couple of good returneys too, that there'll
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: be somebody to keep eyes on. Six ' four Justice
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: Williams gave him twelve and a half points a game
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: last year. He took a quarter of Robert Morris's shots,
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: so he was a high usage guy last year, took
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: a lot of threes. And then they have a six
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: to nine guy that played on Spain's under twenty team
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: this summer. He was really good started their final six
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: games and was really good in those final six games,
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: got you nearly eight rebounds a game, three offensive rebounds,
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: scored in double figures in three of those six so
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: he was an interesting, interesting player. Sure he'll run. He
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: got twenty percent of his points in transition in his
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: final five games. That's a six to nine guy that
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: they'll they'll go down to.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: The floorertriculating down the field. Yeah, yeah, I'm matriculating down
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: the field.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: That's probably a good yep.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: Seven o'clock is the seven o'clock is the tip time
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: on Monday night. And it's a historic day, right, I mean,
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: West Virginia has not had a whole lot of basketball coaches.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: And they'll be the first regular season game for Darren
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: DeVries coming off of last seasons in from status with
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: Josh Eilert, and so here they are. I think first
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: games are always really super important, I think for when
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: you're a new coach, because you finally get the feel, Okay,
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: this is what it's going to be. This is gonna
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: feel like you know, we had the exhibition game, right
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: and like Darren, like the introductions are getting ready to
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: be be giving. The carpet's getting ready to rull dout
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: like and he looks at Brad and goes like, Okay,
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: where am I supposed to stand here? Because I mean,
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: you don't know, right, I mean, it's just like, okay,
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: so this carpet comes this way. Now, guys are there,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: like just the little team, everybody, it's new for everybody.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: You just kind of got to get a feel for
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: how this whole thing works.
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: It is part of why I've said this before It's
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: why college basketball has an advantage over football, where you
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: can get some of these games right. You're gonna have
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: a bunch of games before conference play again, so you
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: can get used to the building and get used to
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: where you come out, and these players can get used
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: to the rims and the shooting backdrop, which is which
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: is important.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: It matters you scaling down there size wise. I saw
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: you doing giving your notes today. You had like, is
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: something what's going on there?

• 47:09
  Speaker 1: In essence, here's what the deal is. The company that's

  Speaker 1: out there, which will include that unbelievable holiday treat popcorn.

• 52:47
  Speaker 1: All right, So here's here's something that we've never done.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: We've never been asked to do this. We're going to
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: do this. Probably it very well could be the last
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: time that we do this, but we are going to
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: do for the first time ever on three Guys.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: Before the Game.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: On live radio, We're going to do a gender reveal.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: Never done that before. We have a p.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: One listener, and we received a message from his wife
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: and she asked if it would be possible if we
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: could reveal the gender of their child.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute, who doesn't know? He does? Husband doesn't really.
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so the gender reveals for the husband.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, wow, yeah, that's.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: Normally how it would work. The mom would know before
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: the dad would know.
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, here's or sometimes they know and you're telling
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: their family.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: Oh no, this is the dad, This is for the dad.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Hey, Austin, do you have that picture?
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: Here is the dad? So yeah, so he foodcourt guy.
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: So that is it.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Joey Brinkley And obviously he's been at the food court
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: with the senator. And his wife is Morgan and she
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: wrote in and she said, hey, we're die my husband.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: My hubby is an avid listener to your podcast. He's
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: a diehard WVU fan. We're currently pregnant with our third child,
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: which is due on May one. I'll be finding out
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: the gender this week. I wonder if there's any possible
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: way that you guys would announce the gender to him
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: on your next podcast. It would be such an awesome
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: surprise because he absolutely loves your guys, you guys and
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: your show. And so we sent correspondence and said, well, absolutely,
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: they've been married for seven years, or they've been together
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: for seven years, married for four they believe it or not.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: She said, we've met on social media Instagram back in
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: twenty to seventeen.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: They've got a.
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: Little baby boy or a boy named Wyatt. They've got
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: a young girl named Ella. So this is the tiebreaker.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: We live in Princeton, West Virginia. I've always heard it
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: comes when you least expect it, which must be true.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: I was on my way home complaining to Joey about
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: taking two kids into Walmart and how I must be
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: crazy for wanting to have another one. He said, suggested
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: I take a pregnancy test during our phone call. Well
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: guess what it was positive that evening. Geez, she says,
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: I'll take my both of my kids back to Walmart eventually.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: I'll just let the hormones calm down first, thank you
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: guys for doing this for me.
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: Well, what's the least we could do? We we have,
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: we provide a lot of services here.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: She may reach out, may want to be you know, uncles,
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: or we could be Uncle Brad, uncle Hoppy, be very
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: very any name.
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: If it's a boy, you got a balloon that we're hitting,
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: or a piece of food we're opening up.
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: One of those exploding things, like a cake.
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: Are we a cake and it's blue?
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: Or pink. How we exactly is this happening, Tony? Did
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: you plan anything for this?
• 56:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: Oh you did?
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, So this is a blue candy bar, and we'll
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: tell you this story about that later. These are pink gummies.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: These are pink gummies. So I guess in the world
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: of gender reveals, the male is the blue and the
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: female would be the pink if simon gummies in this case.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: So if I lift one of these up, that will
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: be the gender of the baby.
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: So you know it, you have it right there?
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm doing the gender reveal.
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know what you have in front of your
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: what you don't? She didn't you just pulled a candy
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: bar out of the blue to do the gender reveal.
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: You did not.
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know what you have.
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: I know the gender you.

  Speaker 1: Yes, I'm telling him right now.
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: Are you following along? It's just well, this is new
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: territory for someone a little confused. So here it is. Okay,
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: go ahead, now with the one you lift up will
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: be the gender.
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: Hold on, just put the other one totally down to
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: not cause confusion. So whatever one it's not, just set
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: it aside and have one in front of you don't
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: be lifting one up over the other. Just put the

  Speaker 1: segment where maybe you could run down the roster.
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, there we go.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: You know, kind of this goes back to the marketing
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: thing earlier when we talked about the triple eggs. You
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: have to give the people what they want. That guy,
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: that's what he wanted. So there you go, Uh, Texter.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: The much balllyhooed newcomers to the Big Twelve have gone
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: eight and eleven through nine weeks. League champion Utah now
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: one in four.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: How can that be?
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: What happened to last year's newcomers is happening to this
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: year's Maybe the dynamics of the league. No easy wins,
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: crazy travel, good coach. He makes us tougher than the
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: outside thinks.
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: What do you say? I say, it's the league. What
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: we've said all season, The league is unpredictable. There is
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: a lot of parody. Guys get hurt. That's we put in.
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: Brad talks about this all the time. We put too
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: much value on the preseason picks, way too much.
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: They've been particularly bad the last two years in the
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: Big Twelve. The other part too, You guys, there's just
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: lack of familiarity. It helps when you've played Kansas State.
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: That's a bad example because it helped Wes Virginia. It
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: helps when you play those opponents. You have some idea
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: of what the system is, and then you're worrying about personnel.
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: These the teams.
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: When you come into a league new, you've got decade
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: of data on other programs that you just don't have.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: So that's part of it as well, in including all
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: the other stuff there, that's just a really balanced league
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: with small margin forrayars.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: For every team exactly.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: Logan and Mannington writes long story, but worth it. While
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: listening to the podcast from Louisbourg, the wife wanting a
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: Carmel Frapp pay for McDonald's, we decided to stop in
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: in Flatwoods. I have yet to find the connection three
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: oh four, traveling to ten different go marts, but I
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: stopped at the headquarters.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: Little did I.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: Know that the Flatwood's location had two stores of Cours
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: right next to each other. I walk into the truck
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: stop portion looking for the fly Rod slim Gyms. I
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: asked the cashier, where's the beer. She said, we don't
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: sell beer. I was confused, but the wife said, you
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: didn't know there were two stores here. I said no,
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: So I pulled into the normal customers Gomart. I walk around,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: getting worried I didn't find any I check out, and
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: the Gomart gods tell me to turn around, lo and
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: behold the connection three oh four. Almost gave the search,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: but we'll be trying when it's nice and cold. So
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: they had some there. He got six pack. Good win
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: by the mountaineers. Hopefully the bye will help them get healthy.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: This is an interesting one I told you about earlier.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: I've enjoyed this. Texter says the addition of Tutors as
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: a sponsor. Growing up with a small business in West Virginia,
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: you get a different appreciation for these companies. True story. Ready,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: my uncle Ronnie worked in downtown Charleston near the original Tutors.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: He'd go in every morning and get a sausage, egg
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: and cheese. Yes, that's correct. They named a biscuit after him.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: The ryme.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: He even knew Mary b. I told him to thank
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: her for me, because there's something special about a giant bacon,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: egg and cheese biscuit in the morning. So thank you
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: very much. And when it comes to biscuits, well, we
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: are kind of right. We're privileged to have the world
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: champion of biscuit makers here in the state of West Virginia.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: That's right. Show you Hoppies cup right there. You get
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: one of those bad boys. Have that filled up for
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: the price of a small coffee. Just buy it once
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: and you get the price of a small coffee on
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: every twenty four ounce refill. But they're the world champs there.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: It is voted the South's best biscuit last March. And
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: that's the Mountaineer, the twenty twenty four world champion. If
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: you buy one of those, you don't have to worry
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: about the metal. They do not sell it with the
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: metal on there. Don't no no worry at all.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: My proposal for the three guys biscuit, because I've been
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: thinking about this then clearly would be egg, bacon and
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: Swiss cheese.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: No no out, okay, no Swiss cheese, all right.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: Dino in Morgantown rights Chao Amichi. Good to see the
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: world champion football boys back on track, Tony. It is
• 1:02:42

• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: and these are West Virginia ripe signed by Dino in Morgantown.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: That's a nice haul, good looking figs.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: I didn't know you had figs in West Virginia.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: Well, I gotta illegally steal the tree over from Italy,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: put it in your suitcase, and then you grow those
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: bad boys.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: Somebody notified the us DA.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: That's all right, don't tell Ken Leonhardt the agriculture. You're right, yeah,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: leave that one out in view of the away crowded
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: two son, what number do you anticipate Mountaineer Nation will
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: show in Cincinnati?
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: There'll be folks there. Yeah. D think about this.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, closest road conference game in over a decade, in
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: thirteen years?
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: Is that right?
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: Sure?
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: It is right.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: Up until last year it was UCF Iowa State was
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: seven seven nine. This is the closest closest league game
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: for West Virginia in over twelve thirteen years. Wow, this
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: is a textas kind of wild. I love the show.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: You guys have each of your specialist. My wife and
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: I made the trip by car to Tucson.
• 1:03:51

• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: Started on the twenty first of October. We're gonna come
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: back November the fifth taken in the sites along the
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: way went Arizona game parked on the sixth Street garage
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: walked to gentle bends for lunch passed by a family
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: of Arizona fans, and the father, buddha Us and their
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: seven year old daughter gave us that grown up mother
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: look of darts. I simply thanked them in welcoming us
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: and inviting us. For the most part, you of a
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: fans were not cordial. We are meeting up with some
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: cousins in Phoenix on the twenty eight, so this has
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: already happened. I have some of these relatives. Some of
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: these cousins I've not seen in sixty years. One cousin's
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: a grad of Arizona and so they made a bat
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: and loser wears a t shirt from the other school,
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: signed by Rex and Jennet. Here's my thought on this.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: If you haven't seen a cousin in sixty years, you
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: really don't want to That's what I kind of left
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: to say. Brad, I don't know about that. I mean
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: sixty years.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: If they're in the same country, jump busy to coordinate.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 4: Boy.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: I think the Senator is having an effect on my
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: eleven year old daughter. I overheard this at our house
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: the other night. My wife says to my daughter, go upstairs,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: brush your teeth. Daughter says, oh, is that right? Do
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: you want me to brush my teeth? Well, guess what
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go upstairs, line up and brush my teeth
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: to be to determine if the effect is a good
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: one or not. Signed by Greg and Morgantown, it's.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: Perfect independent Strey, I like it.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: I thought she was gonna say efforting.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: I thought she was too Steven and eleanor I like
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: this now that the coach Devrees, not the coach Devrees,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: is in charge. Any chance at West Virginia will play
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: a basketball game in Charleston. Those of us in the
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: canav Valley really enjoy being able to see the Mountaineers
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: in a midweek game, even if it's against a mid major.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: I love the show. So here's the deal. And if
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: you're regularly you already know what I'm gonna say. If
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: financially it works, they'd be open to it. It doesn't,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: then they won't do it.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: It's just it literally is the dollars.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: It's the dollars man, more so than ever before in
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: the history of this business. It's about the dollars. Someone
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: comes to them and says, hey, you can make thirty
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: fifty eighty thousand dollars more tonight by playing a basketball
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: game here than if you had it in Morgantown. Then
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: they'll go like, okay, we're in.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: Really if it's like, hey, wouldn't it be nice?

• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: To be really good.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: If the packaging looks that good if they go to

  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: Here's an update on our over unders when we started
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: the season. This is through sixty six percent three fourths
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: of the season, two thirds of the season. Rushing attempts
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: for the team over under five twenty five four to
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: thirty six. Currently we're on pace for six sixty. Tony
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: and Hoppey win the bet.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 3: Oh you want it's already over five to twenty five.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: No, it's four to thirty six currently on a pace.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: For something number five twenty Five's correct? It is, so
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: you haven't won the bet yet. Not yet. He's saying
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: the number yet.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: He's assuming they'll run it more than ninety times in
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: the next four games. Yes or No. One thousand yard
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: rusher Jahem Whites got five o eight. He's on pace
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: for seven to seventy. Everyone loses the bet. That is surprising.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: Team leader for individuals at the over under five and
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: a half, TJ Jackson four and a half is on
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: pace for six point eight. Everyone loses the bet. We
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: didn't put the We didn't didn't think t J. Jackson
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: would be that Cole Taylor touchdown catches. The over runder
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: was five and a half. He's got two. He's on
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: pace for three. Bredon Hoppy will win the under? Oh yeah,
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: wait till he catches three in a game.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 3: It's not how you do the bets. Excuse me, Well,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 3: you can't win or lose the bet till it's already
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: cast or not cast.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: So he's giving us an update.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: I'd be happy to lose if Cole Taylor caught three
