Speaker 1: My kind of people. All right, Conley Cpa is back
3:59
Speaker 1: into the fold. All right, let's jump in. So let's
4:04
Speaker 1: put this into significance of practice. So this week the
4:09
Speaker 1: World Champions basically just go practice throughout the course of
4:14
Speaker 1: the week. Next week, officially camp comes to an end.
4:21
Speaker 1: They call it an end. That's the same day that
4:24
Speaker 1: classes start. Classes don't start until a week from Wednesday,
4:28
Speaker 1: which would be the twenty first, and then you've got
4:33
Speaker 1: that week, and then you've got another week and then
4:39
Speaker 1: game week. So it's like getting closer, starting to sniffe
4:43
Speaker 1: it a little bit. Mountaineers had a major scrimmage this
4:46
Speaker 1: past Saturday. They literally locked the gates, literally locked the gates.
4:53
Speaker 1: Like this wasn't just hey, they're going to lock the gates,
4:55
Speaker 1: Like they literally like lock the gates.
4:58
Speaker 3: Double secret probation.
4:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it was a challenge. It was a
5:03
Speaker 1: challenge if you weren't there in time. I got a call,
5:05
Speaker 1: so dude, seven thirty gates are locked. Crushed. Another piece
5:10
Speaker 1: of pizza caused indigestion ran down, got there. I got
5:14
Speaker 1: in barely barely. They locked her down. Lights by the way,
5:19
Speaker 1: look perfect. Do they whole New world?
5:21
Speaker 2: Were you there when they gave out the nuclear codes
5:24
Speaker 2: or did that happen later? Codes for before?
5:26
Speaker 3: Well?
5:27
Speaker 2: Cod Why they're locking things down? I assume they have
5:28
Speaker 2: things in there like the nuclear codes, think really important things.
5:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean this this wishbone offense that they're going
5:33
Speaker 1: to debut, This wishbone offense they're going to debut against.
5:36
Speaker 2: Pretty amazing.
5:37
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what a wishby. I mean, who would have
5:39
Speaker 1: thought of that? I mean it just amazing anyway. Anyway,
5:44
Speaker 1: uh so they screamed me, what about two hours forty minutes,
5:47
Speaker 1: two hours forty five minutes. They'll do it again this
5:49
Speaker 1: coming Saturday. They'll go Saturday afternoon this coming week. And
5:54
Speaker 1: it's coming together. So a lot of work.
5:59
Speaker 3: Can you report on what you saw or because it
6:01
Speaker 3: was no?
6:02
Speaker 1: Okay, it confirms, it confirms. Here here's the no brainer.
6:10
Speaker 1: The offense has a lot of playmakers. The offense should
6:13
Speaker 1: be able to score points with consistency and frequency.
6:16
Speaker 2: I think he was there for that intel. Thank god
6:20
Speaker 2: we had somebody inside the stadium to let us know
6:22
Speaker 2: there's offensive playmakers only breaking on this show. Go ahead,
6:26
Speaker 2: continue that was good.
6:28
Speaker 3: Will be the quarterback?
6:29
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it looks like six has got a chance
6:32
Speaker 1: to start. Okay, yeah, probably number one plays a little
6:34
Speaker 1: bit too. Yeah, number four probably gets some carries. And
6:39
Speaker 1: then and then the other part of it is what
6:41
Speaker 1: we also already know is that, I mean that the
6:44
Speaker 1: keys this week and the next couple of weeks really
6:47
Speaker 1: is finding your number two's in your number three because
6:50
Speaker 1: we kind of, you know, the starters for the most
6:53
Speaker 1: most part, like the new guys that come into the
6:55
Speaker 1: defensive backfield, you're what you're trying to do is confirm
6:57
Speaker 1: what you thought, Okay, you're good enough to start, and
7:00
Speaker 1: then it's like, okay, now your two's in your threes.
7:03
Speaker 1: Your newcomers or your guys that are in that freshman
7:07
Speaker 1: sophomore or sophomore to junior rise like have you risen
7:11
Speaker 1: to the point that we can trust you on the field.
7:13
Speaker 1: So that's kind of where we are. But you know,
7:15
Speaker 1: as far as like specifics and things like that, it's
7:18
Speaker 1: not fair. I don't do that. I'm not gonna say
7:21
Speaker 1: it's not fair now to no one involved. Doesn't It's
7:24
Speaker 1: not fair.
7:24
Speaker 2: I bet the offense was versatile two on Saturday. I
7:27
Speaker 2: bet they were able to run many different things. Well,
7:30
Speaker 2: I would say this, they ran it, then they threw it.
7:32
Speaker 3: Oh so they will throw it, did both of them?
7:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, they ran it and they will run it. Did both? Okay,
7:38
Speaker 2: So how can then you put that down to.
7:41
Speaker 3: What a waste?
7:42
Speaker 1: By the way, the new lights, the new lights, Seriously,
7:45
Speaker 1: I bring it up again. You forget how bad the
7:48
Speaker 1: other ones were. You forget how bad the other ones were,
7:52
Speaker 1: Like we became programmed to think that when it's a
7:55
Speaker 1: night game, it's like you're watching it through a Hinz
7:58
Speaker 1: mustard bottle. Seriously, Like, wait a second, it's not yellow anymore.
8:03
Speaker 2: Was there a problem here? What is this?
8:05
Speaker 1: What's this white light you speak of?
8:07
Speaker 3: Did they do colors?
8:08
Speaker 1: They didn't change it. No, they didn't fight around. But
8:10
Speaker 1: this was for real, man, It's just like we're just
8:11
Speaker 1: going white light. We're not playing any games, just white light.
8:14
Speaker 1: That's what we're doing.
8:15
Speaker 3: And it was a big difference, huge.
8:18
Speaker 1: I mean, it's night and day. It is almost night
8:22
Speaker 1: and day. Guy that I was with looked at it
8:25
Speaker 1: through the but was looking at through the binoculars, and
8:28
Speaker 1: I said, okay, because there's the same binoculars that I use,
8:31
Speaker 1: and I said, hey, what does it look like with those?
8:33
Speaker 1: And he said, it literally looks like daytime.
8:35
Speaker 3: Wow, which is which was big And it's instant, right,
8:37
Speaker 3: they turn it off and turn it on and they.
8:38
Speaker 1: Can, yeah, they can, they can flick them out and
8:40
Speaker 1: off here.
8:40
Speaker 3: Yeah.
8:41
Speaker 1: Anyway, so that's that. That's this week getting ready. Just
8:46
Speaker 1: keep keep knocking on your wood or whatever you knock
8:49
Speaker 1: on that they continue to stay healthy because you know,
8:53
Speaker 1: you just look through you know, every every day you
8:55
Speaker 1: read other college football teams. You know, Texas has already
8:58
Speaker 1: lost one, Texas A and m just lost one.
9:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's the key because this next two weeks
9:03
Speaker 2: before you get into game weeks, this is wild hop
9:05
Speaker 2: that we do. We do this every year. You get
9:07
Speaker 2: so excited when practice begins, right, and there's a million storylines,
9:10
Speaker 2: and then we kind of settle into this over the
9:13
Speaker 2: next two weeks. It's kind of the Okay, the offense
9:15
Speaker 2: has playmakers, the defense is trying to find guys, right,
9:18
Speaker 2: that becomes a storyline for like two weeks until we
9:21
Speaker 2: can get to game week and start going. So this
9:23
Speaker 2: is this kind of starts that little malaise of information.
9:26
Speaker 2: But that's you're right, Tony, that's the biggest news. Just
9:28
Speaker 2: get out of these next two weeks, healthy, get into
9:30
Speaker 2: game week and here we go.
9:31
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly.
9:32
Speaker 1: So what do you say you want to jump right in?
9:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we can. I think we do it
9:36
Speaker 2: because we also have a lot of texts to get into,
9:38
Speaker 2: don't we. We've done texts since twenty seventeen.
9:41
Speaker 1: So some people have started to complain. So so I
9:47
Speaker 1: looked back. The last time we had done them was
9:49
Speaker 1: July eleven, so it's been a month.
9:53
Speaker 3: Wells what we do, haven't done them in so long.
9:55
Speaker 3: They came in as facts is.
9:58
Speaker 1: Time, and and we'll get well talk about what they
10:01
Speaker 1: are and what we got into during the course of them.
10:03
Speaker 1: But not all texts will be used, because some of
10:06
Speaker 1: them just date themselves. But I mean, there's there's a
10:09
Speaker 1: there's enough. There's enough there to eat. Man, there's there's
10:12
Speaker 1: there's a lot of check numbers.
10:15
Speaker 3: I'll just go to the numbers, all.
10:16
Speaker 1: Right, they jump into the analytics. It's backed, man, give
10:23
Speaker 1: it out stacks. We should have like a very white
10:28
Speaker 1: voice like spreads of stats. That'd be nice. Three guys
10:32
Speaker 1: before the game and spreads on stats brought to us
10:34
Speaker 1: by the Conley CPA Group. They provide value beyond the numbers.

11:13
Speaker 1: All right, what do you got to start it off?
11:14
Speaker 3: All right?
11:15
Speaker 2: We got glasses on ooh in midseason, We're gonna actually
11:18
Speaker 2: begin with just a number. An update. Zach Fraser made
11:23
Speaker 2: his NFL debut. I watched him look good. Do you
11:27
Speaker 2: know what he looked like? An NFL center, Zach Fraser.
11:32
Speaker 2: PFF College had some numbers out for Zach following his
11:35
Speaker 2: Week one game. He had nineteen pass block snaps, zero
11:40
Speaker 2: pressures allowed, and a seventy two point two run block rade.
11:44
Speaker 2: All very very good numbers obviously, so Zach coming right
11:47
Speaker 2: out of the gate, with the Black and Gold, just
11:49
Speaker 2: as he did with the Golden Blue.
11:51
Speaker 1: His very first snap, he cut through, He split through
11:54
Speaker 1: a double team and got to the second level first.
11:58
Speaker 2: That looks just like Zach Fraser. Yeah, and there's a
12:00
Speaker 2: little different hue in the jersey. Yeah.
12:02
Speaker 1: It helped him out that the fella who started in
12:04
Speaker 1: front of him had two botch snaps.
12:08
Speaker 3: That were this Fraser, you think Fraseran's upstarting?
12:10
Speaker 1: Well, Mike Tomlin makes it a rule where like rookies
12:14
Speaker 1: don't start, but it's it's a what do you call
12:16
Speaker 1: that guy? What say? It's that Latin term.
12:19
Speaker 2: FATA complies that with FATA complete. Yeah, he'll start. Tomlin
12:23
Speaker 2: did say he will. Zach will have an increased workload
12:25
Speaker 2: here in week two.
12:28
Speaker 3: Did Beanie play?
12:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, Beanie was out there. We're number thirty. Beanie was
12:32
Speaker 2: out there. Yeah.
12:32
Speaker 1: That's the thing about the pros that's a little bit
12:34
Speaker 1: different from college. Like they cut no, Like they're not
12:38
Speaker 1: him humming around like college. You gotta work like the
12:39
Speaker 1: guy's gonna go on the transfer portal. Like obviously Brad
12:43
Speaker 1: how did a very bad job snapping today. His playing
12:46
Speaker 1: time will be diminished. Hoppy Kerchievell will get an increased
12:49
Speaker 1: playing time because he has practiced better. Like you can
12:51
Speaker 1: say that in the pros.
12:52
Speaker 2: Especially Tomlin, he's a mess around. So my good job
12:55
Speaker 2: for Zach Fraser. So we begin with that, all right,
12:57
Speaker 2: you ready, I want to dive right into the over
12:59
Speaker 2: under segment of the programs. Yeah, these are fun.
13:02
Speaker 1: Wait a second, did we ever go back and recap?
13:05
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think somebody did. Hope it's more
13:07
Speaker 2: fun here.
13:08
Speaker 1: I think I was really good last year.
13:10
Speaker 2: A shock.
13:13
Speaker 1: Wait, do you remember was I? I think I think
13:15
Speaker 1: I won?
13:16
Speaker 2: I don't. Now you're just saying stuff. Now you're just
13:19
Speaker 2: over here just saying.
13:20
Speaker 1: I don't think I missed any I was gonna keep
13:25
Speaker 1: adding on to it.
13:26
Speaker 3: In fact, as a matter of fact, I don't even
13:28
Speaker 3: remember doing it.
13:29
Speaker 1: We did them, Yeah, we did.
13:31
Speaker 2: Them, right, This will be the same.
13:34
Speaker 3: Okay, let's go, let's have some fun. Let's go.
13:35
Speaker 2: All right, So this one I tried to do. So
13:38
Speaker 2: we're doing three of them. I did two offense, one defense.
13:41
Speaker 2: We'll do some more in the next episode as well.
13:43
Speaker 2: I tried to get a couple big picture items like
13:46
Speaker 2: themes of the team hobby and we'll talk about niche
13:49
Speaker 2: them down into specifics and then we'll go if we
13:52
Speaker 2: think over or under is happening. So let's begin here.
13:56
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty three, West Virginia had the third most
14:00
Speaker 2: rushing attempts in the last fifteen seasons. They had five
14:05
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty five total rushes last year. That was
14:08
Speaker 2: the most since the Mountaineers ran the ball five hundred
14:11
Speaker 2: and seventy four times in twenty sixteen. The five hundred
14:16
Speaker 2: and sixty five rush attempts were the most among Power
14:19
Speaker 2: five teams in twenty twenty three. So, hopy, here's your
14:23
Speaker 2: first over under. Ok, West Virginia will have over or
14:28
Speaker 2: under five hundred and twenty five rushing attempts in twenty
14:33
Speaker 2: twenty four.
14:34
Speaker 4: Did there man?
14:35
Speaker 2: So the number is five twenty five over or under
14:39
Speaker 2: last year led Power five at five sixty five some context, hoppy, Yes,
14:45
Speaker 2: Neil's teams have averaged four hundred and thirty point eight
14:49
Speaker 2: carries per season over five seasons. This season, the top
14:55
Speaker 2: three rushers from last year all return. Those three combined
15:00
Speaker 2: to carry the ball four hundred times. Right, and we
15:03
Speaker 2: know the three White Donaldson Green five hundred and twenty
15:08
Speaker 2: five carries this year would be the sixth most number
15:12
Speaker 2: of carries over the last fifteen seasons, five hundred and
15:16
Speaker 2: twenty five carries averages out to forty point four per game,
15:21
Speaker 2: assuming West Virginia plays in a Bowl game. Over under
15:25
Speaker 2: five hundred and twenty five rushing attempts this season for
15:29
Speaker 2: the Mountaineers.
15:32
Speaker 3: Brad, that's that's a really really good number.
15:35
Speaker 2: And so go ahead and talk it out here before
15:37
Speaker 2: we give it over to talk out what's your okay,
15:39
Speaker 2: what your thought process?
15:40
Speaker 3: This is the last year was somewhat I think inflated
15:44
Speaker 3: because Garrett Green ran the ball hundred and twenty times, okay,
15:47
Speaker 3: And is he going to run the ball one hundred
15:49
Speaker 3: and twenty times this year or can you rely more
15:51
Speaker 3: on Jem White? Jem White ran the ball one hundred
15:53
Speaker 3: and nine times last year, but he'll run more this year, right,
15:56
Speaker 3: because he's going to be this He's going to be
15:58
Speaker 3: the starter. Ol boy, I'm gonna say.
16:04
Speaker 2: Your passing game, you feel like, is better. So does
16:07
Speaker 2: that bring the rushes down? Which the number is down
16:10
Speaker 2: from usher it's down forty attempts from last year, so
16:13
Speaker 2: roughly what three a game?
16:15
Speaker 3: It's three games.
16:16
Speaker 1: What you basically did was it was definitely gonna be
16:19
Speaker 1: under if you would have stayed at the five sixty five.
16:22
Speaker 1: But you threw that five point twenty five in there.
16:24
Speaker 1: And basically the question you're asking is, will West Virginia
16:28
Speaker 1: throw the ball three more times per game than it
16:32
Speaker 1: did last season?
16:33
Speaker 2: Assuming good good reframe there, but assuming you get the
16:37
Speaker 2: same number of total plays. M So you've got to
16:40
Speaker 2: think the offense will have the same number of plays.
16:42
Speaker 2: I think we all agree offense should be very good again,
16:44
Speaker 2: and that's not an unreasonable ask.
16:47
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go over because you have CJ. Donaldson, you
16:52
Speaker 3: have Jaheem White to outstanding running backs assuming they stand.
16:56
Speaker 3: We're so, assuming you stay healthy, you don't know. And
16:59
Speaker 3: and you have Green, who's gonna run again. Maybe you
17:02
Speaker 3: hope he doesn't run one hundred and was one hundred
17:04
Speaker 3: and twenty times, but Green's gonna run. So you have
17:06
Speaker 3: three people, you have three legitimate runners in the backfield.
17:11
Speaker 3: And because you have three instead of two, I'm going.
17:13
Speaker 1: Over interesting thought process. I think it also boils down
17:20
Speaker 1: to you looked at it from guys that can carry it.
17:23
Speaker 1: I think another thing you have to look at it
17:25
Speaker 1: from as the perspective of what does this coaching staff
17:28
Speaker 1: think of its defense, i e. Do they need to
17:33
Speaker 1: keep the ball away from the other team's offense.
17:36
Speaker 2: Fair point more so.
17:39
Speaker 1: So you don't know, because that'll be determined once they
17:42
Speaker 1: start playing games. But if they feel, hey, we can't
17:45
Speaker 1: keep our defense out there, or if they don't feel
17:48
Speaker 1: that that is a complete strength unit, then they're gonna
17:51
Speaker 1: go like, let's milk this clock a little bit more,
17:53
Speaker 1: running a little bit more, less time on the clock
17:55
Speaker 1: for the other team to score. So I think that
17:56
Speaker 1: is in there. I'd definitely be absolutely under if you
18:01
Speaker 1: would have kept the number at five sixty five. I
18:04
Speaker 1: would not be stunned if it's a play right in
18:07
Speaker 1: between the five twenty five and the five sixty five
18:09
Speaker 1: when it all is done. So I'm gonna go under,
18:14
Speaker 1: also thinking under the five sixty five.
18:17
Speaker 2: That's not the number. Okay, five twenty five, You're right,
18:22
Speaker 2: No wonder he thinks he did so well last year,
18:24
Speaker 2: just made up his own numbers. Hang on trying to
18:26
Speaker 2: give you an over the five second, I didn't ask
18:29
Speaker 2: you about five sixty five.
18:30
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go I'll go over your five twenty five.
18:32
Speaker 1: Going over is whant to say this? For the record,
18:34
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I'll go over the five twenty five,
18:37
Speaker 1: but I don't think it gets to five sixty five.
18:39
Speaker 1: I guess that's what I was trying to say. That's
18:41
Speaker 1: both over both over on that.
18:43
Speaker 2: Yes, one of the other things, And you guys bring
18:46
Speaker 2: up two excellent points in part of the discussion here
18:50
Speaker 2: in the thought process. The other one just is, does
18:53
Speaker 2: West Virginia have the ability again this year to do
18:56
Speaker 2: what it wants to do when it wants to do it?
18:58
Speaker 2: It did last year. It's part of why it it
19:00
Speaker 2: so much. All of those things you said, had three
19:03
Speaker 2: great runners, so you're gonna try and run it. Wanted
19:05
Speaker 2: to make sure you protected the defense layer when those
19:08
Speaker 2: injuries came, wanted to run it. And then oh, by
19:10
Speaker 2: the way, you could run it. You could line up
19:12
Speaker 2: and tell them you were running it against most of
19:14
Speaker 2: these teams and had success doing so. We know the
19:17
Speaker 2: questions around the offensive line, right. We just talked about
19:20
Speaker 2: Zach Frazier. That's a massive hit, guys, that's a massive hit.
19:24
Speaker 2: Brandon Yates was very good last year, Chique was very
19:27
Speaker 2: good last year. Nick was very good last year. But
19:29
Speaker 2: you're asking each of them to do more, including Yates
19:33
Speaker 2: to move over into a new position. Those are some
19:36
Speaker 2: asks right there. Hop you certainly feel better about your
19:38
Speaker 2: offensive line than where you did five years ago, there's
19:40
Speaker 2: no question. But do you feel as good about it
19:42
Speaker 2: as you did last year when you had a pro
19:44
Speaker 2: on the left side, a pro on the middle, and
19:47
Speaker 2: then Doug Nester, who's in a pro camp on the
19:49
Speaker 2: right side. That's three pros spaced out pretty well. So
19:52
Speaker 2: can West Virginia run it as much as it wants
19:55
Speaker 2: to this year? And then the other part is we've
19:57
Speaker 2: talked about this. I think the passing game takes a
19:59
Speaker 2: step forward, both in terms of weapons, Garrett Green's command
20:03
Speaker 2: of the offense, Garrett's ability to hit open receivers rather
20:06
Speaker 2: than just first instinct of talking it and go. So
20:09
Speaker 2: do Garrett's carries come back a little bit, both in
20:13
Speaker 2: terms of his maturation in this offense and the ability
20:17
Speaker 2: to keep him healthy longer. Do you want to run
20:19
Speaker 2: him less? I'm sure the answers yes to that. Now
20:23
Speaker 2: the game will dictate whether he runs less or not.
20:25
Speaker 2: You might have to take off and do it. Jeem
20:26
Speaker 2: White will get more carries. I think this is a
20:29
Speaker 2: fascinating and really difficult question to answer. I will say this.
20:34
Speaker 2: I think you guys probably end up winning this category.
20:38
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say under. Okay, I'm gonna say under.
20:41
Speaker 1: You think a Brown's gonna come to life?
20:43
Speaker 2: I think you throw it a little bit more. I
20:45
Speaker 2: think you throw it a little bit more. But part
20:47
Speaker 2: of this I have the disadvantage of doing all of
20:49
Speaker 2: these questions, and I found myself when I was going
20:53
Speaker 2: over him again this morning doing what they always tell
20:55
Speaker 2: you not to do, an over unders. I'm out here
20:58
Speaker 2: just like I'm over offensive over like I'm over on everything.
21:03
Speaker 2: So I'm going to actually fight myself here and go under.
21:07
Speaker 2: You're fading yourself. I'm gonna fade myself. I'm going to
21:10
Speaker 2: go under the number of carries. Plus I want to
21:12
Speaker 2: be something different than you two. But I won't be
21:14
Speaker 2: surprised if you guys are right in that I thought
21:16
Speaker 2: my number was a reasonable number.
21:18
Speaker 3: Your number and the arguments are perfect because you you
21:22
Speaker 3: can go over under on on this argument. You just
21:24
Speaker 3: went under. I think you did an argument. So it's
21:26
Speaker 3: a good number.
21:27
Speaker 1: I think the five five is yeah, is an absolutely
21:30
Speaker 1: gorgeous number.
21:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good one.
21:32
Speaker 1: Like Mona Lisa pretty number.
21:34
Speaker 2: But what'll be fun to watch is if this line
21:36
Speaker 2: matures and those backups can come in and spell those
21:39
Speaker 2: frontline guys and you're really cooking on the offensive line.
21:41
Speaker 2: You know, those three guys are going to be very
21:43
Speaker 2: successful running the ball. So that will be fun to
21:45
Speaker 2: watch as we move throughout the season. Does West Virginia
21:48
Speaker 2: come out and get forty three carries against the Penn State?
21:51
Speaker 2: Can they just start grinding people like they did last year?
21:53
Speaker 2: So there's our first one?
21:55
Speaker 3: Good?
21:55
Speaker 2: All right?
21:55
Speaker 3: Like that one?
21:56
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's a really good number. Can we can
21:59
Speaker 1: we outsource something? Perhaps one of our listeners out there
22:02
Speaker 1: would because we won't. Would someone make it your life's
22:06
Speaker 1: work to follow these as the season goes on and
22:09
Speaker 1: then update us on the text line, because well.
22:11
Speaker 2: Someone did it last year for us. There really somebody really.
22:14
Speaker 1: Good last year out there? All right? Number two?
22:16
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to stay in that category of rushing
22:19
Speaker 2: the football again, okay, because I'm just intrigued by this,
22:22
Speaker 2: just talent wise and everything we just said in the
22:24
Speaker 2: first category, So let's stay with this. This is less.
22:27
Speaker 2: This is not an overunder. We could make it one,
22:29
Speaker 2: but I'm not going to what is this this is
22:31
Speaker 2: going to be a yes?
22:31
Speaker 1: No?
22:32
Speaker 2: This is just a yes no. Does this count?
22:33
Speaker 1: Is like a friendly?
22:34
Speaker 2: Like, what is this? No, it's just a yes no.
22:36
Speaker 2: You just don't have to give an over under. You're
22:37
Speaker 2: just giving a yes or a no. Let's talk thousand
22:41
Speaker 2: yard rushers on the season. We do this one a lot.
22:45
Speaker 2: West Virginia's had a thousand yard rusher in five of
22:48
Speaker 2: the last nine seasons, but has not had one since
22:51
Speaker 2: Letty Brown in twenty one. Simple, yes, No, the Mountaineers
22:56
Speaker 2: will have a thousand yard rusher in twenty twenty four. Yes,
23:01
Speaker 2: you don't even need numbers. Nope, I see those practices. Yes,
23:08
Speaker 2: year you had three players. Last year was seven hundred
23:11
Speaker 2: and seventy three yards or more. It was really good.
23:14
Speaker 2: Jeheim White's the one that's interesting. Hop eight hundred and
23:17
Speaker 2: forty two yards on one hundred and nine attempts. He
23:20
Speaker 2: only had one double digit carry game in the first
23:24
Speaker 2: seven right, right, right, His numbers are ridiculous. Seventy eight
23:28
Speaker 2: percent of his yards came in the final six games.
23:31
Speaker 2: Seventy percent of his yards came in the final four games.
23:35
Speaker 2: If he kept the same yards per attempt average from
23:38
Speaker 2: last year, he only needs twenty one more carries to
23:41
Speaker 2: get to the thousand yards. Now, that'll be hard to do.
23:43
Speaker 2: We average seven point seven yards carry. Jeem White's numbers
23:46
Speaker 2: were stupid good.
23:47
Speaker 3: Lift if you know, I looked at those numbers two
23:49
Speaker 3: Brad that if he averages this season what he did
23:53
Speaker 3: in the last five games of last season, he'll average
23:56
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty yards a game. Now, will we
23:59
Speaker 3: do that?
24:00
Speaker 2: I don't know?
24:00
Speaker 3: But thousand yards, yes.
24:03
Speaker 1: Well, he took care of that. What about you? Are
24:07
Speaker 1: you serious? You're still in pondering mode.
24:10
Speaker 2: Not sure? I think they. I think somebody does. I
24:14
Speaker 2: think somebody yes, that's a yes yeah.
24:16
Speaker 1: For the guy hey, for the guy that you could
24:18
Speaker 1: never make him say anything like very very good, you'd
24:21
Speaker 1: be great at depositions.
24:22
Speaker 2: I mean, I think I think it's yes, So three yeses.
24:25
Speaker 2: And I think Jaheem's my pick there because I think
24:28
Speaker 2: he used CJ differently right, kind of like he did
24:31
Speaker 2: last year. So he's gonna have to get way more
24:32
Speaker 2: cares Garrett. Garrett absolutely has a skill set to do so.
24:36
Speaker 2: But I just don't think you're gonna want to run
24:37
Speaker 2: him enough to get him to a thousand. I think
24:40
Speaker 2: The other question that goes with one and two is
24:43
Speaker 2: what a defense is? Try and take away here? Right,
24:45
Speaker 2: they're gonna load on the run. That's part of why
24:47
Speaker 2: I think that number one has a chance to be
24:49
Speaker 2: under It's just whether or not. Fine, you can you
24:51
Speaker 2: can load up all you want, can you stop it?
24:53
Speaker 2: But here in what do other teams do? How do
24:56
Speaker 2: they focus differently on Jeheim White? That's now a known
25:00
Speaker 2: quantity that was not last year. Part of that was
25:03
Speaker 2: a little bit of a surprise factor. He comes in,
25:05
Speaker 2: he hadn't shown much on tape those first games. You're like,
25:08
Speaker 2: who's this guy? What's going on here? You can't see him,
25:10
Speaker 2: then you can't find him, then you can't tackle him
25:12
Speaker 2: when you do see him. Well, probably a fact that's
25:16
Speaker 2: that's not a stretch for here Donaldson to get another
25:19
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty yards or another two hundred yards
25:21
Speaker 2: and pop over that number. Would you go as far
25:23
Speaker 2: as saying someone will catch Wendell Smallwoods fifteen nineteen, rushing
25:29
Speaker 2: yards fifteen nineteen.
25:31
Speaker 1: No, No, too big of a number because of the
25:34
Speaker 1: multiplicity of a young student athletes that may rush the pigskin.
25:40
Speaker 2: Do you want to get to justin Crawford's eleven eighty four.
25:44
Speaker 2: It's twelve hundred yards rushing in in play for somebody.
25:47
Speaker 1: We're in that neighborhood.
25:48
Speaker 3: It's in play.
25:49
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, we're in that neighborhood.
25:51
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, Brad, you looked at the numbers.
25:53
Speaker 3: White had eight forty two on one hundred nine carries,
25:56
Speaker 3: seven point seven some point seven. That's pretty impressive. Donaldson
26:00
Speaker 3: had seven hundred ninety eight yards but on one hundred
26:02
Speaker 3: and seventy one.
26:02
Speaker 2: Care four point seven yards per carry with a bad shoulder.
26:05
Speaker 2: I mean, think about that, a bad shoulder splitting time,
26:08
Speaker 2: still got almost five yards per carry. Now, again, a
26:12
Speaker 2: lot of those numbers that that's offensive line related to.
26:14
Speaker 2: We always assign him just to the running back, and
26:18
Speaker 2: in Donaldson's case, you're running through people. In White's case,
26:21
Speaker 2: you're not only running around him, you're also running through
26:24
Speaker 2: He was very good after contact as well. But that's
26:27
Speaker 2: also an offensive line number. So some of that's what's
26:29
Speaker 2: this line give you again? Okay, so that was unanimous.
26:32
Speaker 2: I don't like I don't like it when it's unanimous.
26:34
Speaker 1: You you guys, before the game is brought to us
26:36
Speaker 1: by Gomart, go for good times go for Gomart. We
26:39
Speaker 1: just don't come onto this podcast and say, hey, go

30:30
Speaker 1: Treat yourself to a delicious breakfast handled where it is Mountain.
30:35
Speaker 1: Start your day the Homemade Way. It's the Mountaineer. I
30:37
Speaker 1: laughed because it says I could just envision this. Celebrate
30:41
Speaker 1: a on your way to the game, treat yourself to
30:43
Speaker 1: a delicious breastcut. When I was in college a fast
30:47
Speaker 1: food place, I was selling twenty five cent cheeseburgers.
30:53
Speaker 2: Oh mind, and you.
30:55
Speaker 1: And my guy that I was with student, it's a
30:58
Speaker 1: friend of mine. He pulled in the drive through there
31:02
Speaker 1: and he said, you still have those cheeseburgers at twenty
31:05
Speaker 1: five cents each? And lady said, well, yes, we do.
31:09
Speaker 2: He said, can I have four dozen of those? Four dozen?
31:12
Speaker 1: To this day, I have no idea what he thought
31:16
Speaker 1: he was going to do with four dozen cheeseburgers, but
31:18
Speaker 1: he got them, I think, just to make himself laugh
31:21
Speaker 1: that he ordered.
31:21
Speaker 2: Four dozen cheeseburgers at one time.
31:23
Speaker 1: At a quarter of pot.
31:24
Speaker 2: Sure, I understood, but back.
31:26
Speaker 1: Then, you know, so anyway, you can go to Tutors
31:30
Speaker 1: and walk in there and say, hey, you guys won
31:32
Speaker 1: that thing, the world championship with that mountaineer biscuit. Give
31:36
Speaker 1: me ten dozen of those bad boys.
31:37
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about maybe ten dozen at a time.
31:39
Speaker 2: I might want to call ahead if you're going to
31:40
Speaker 2: do that. I did get a text from somebody.
31:42
Speaker 1: Those folks a Tutors, they'll be ready.
31:44
Speaker 2: After the last episode. I got a note from somebody
31:46
Speaker 2: that said the discussion of it on three guys led
31:49
Speaker 2: them and they went right over there. Last Yow. They
31:51
Speaker 2: would took down a biscuit. But their kids like the
31:54
Speaker 2: big cinnamon rolls. Oh yeah, yeah, I mean it's called
31:57
Speaker 2: Tutor's Biscuit World, so he can't go wrong with me.
31:59
Speaker 2: A lot of stuff around the biscuit. But they do
32:00
Speaker 2: have Semer rules. Very good.
32:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, lot of stuff.
32:02
Speaker 2: Thanks, thank you. All right, go ahead, last one for today, Hoppy,
32:08
Speaker 2: I've got more.
32:08
Speaker 1: You're coming back Thursday with more of these.
32:10
Speaker 2: You've got more in the hopper. Let's talk defense for
32:13
Speaker 2: a second. The question is this, The individual sack leader
32:20
Speaker 2: for West Virginia in twenty twenty four will have at
32:24
Speaker 2: least five and a half sacks over or under. Individual
32:30
Speaker 2: that leads the team in sacks right, five and a
32:33
Speaker 2: half sacks will lead the team over under all.
32:36
Speaker 1: Right here, this is not our first trip to the rodeo.
32:38
Speaker 1: Put it into context for us.
32:40
Speaker 2: In Neil's five seasons, West Virginia's leader went over this
32:44
Speaker 2: total just two times. Both Dante Stills last year, the
32:49
Speaker 2: leader was four Jared Bartlett, but four others had three. Now,
32:54
Speaker 2: of the top five sack leaders from last year, only
32:57
Speaker 2: one returns. The average over the last five seasons has
33:02
Speaker 2: been five point six, our number five and a half
33:07
Speaker 2: over or under. Note of clarification, we're using West Virginia's
33:12
Speaker 2: internal stats for the official record here.
33:15
Speaker 1: What does that mean.
33:15
Speaker 2: Well, there's a difference between WVU stats and Pro Football
33:19
Speaker 2: Focus as stats when it comes to sacks and also hurries.
33:23
Speaker 2: So wvu's internal stat I don't know which one of
33:26
Speaker 2: them is right, but we're going with wvu's internal stats
33:29
Speaker 2: for the official record. Okay, a couple notes here. Sean
33:35
Speaker 2: Martin had four in twenty twenty one, obviously still on
33:39
Speaker 2: the team this year. He now, I'm I'm gonna jump
33:42
Speaker 2: back and forth between West Virginia's numbers and PFF numbers,
33:45
Speaker 2: so you got to kind of listen to both. But
33:47
Speaker 2: Hot Martin had twenty one quarterback hurries per Pro Football
33:51
Speaker 2: Focus last season, not sacks, but getting close to the
33:55
Speaker 2: quarterback there, Hot Eddiev three sacks, so he's around Tyrone
34:02
Speaker 2: Bradley two and a half sacks. A guy that looks
34:05
Speaker 2: looks impressive physically has had some flash plays.
34:09
Speaker 4: Very mean.
34:10
Speaker 1: I would talk to a excuse me, I was over
34:12
Speaker 1: there today. I was over there today, and uh, a
34:16
Speaker 1: lot of nfls Here's here's a sign that our talent
34:19
Speaker 1: level are the teams. There have not been this many
34:23
Speaker 1: NFL scouts at practice in in recent member. There's every
34:29
Speaker 1: single day, every single day, there's NFL scouts.
34:31
Speaker 2: NFL scouts.
34:32
Speaker 1: I asked. I asked a guy who had an affiliation
34:34
Speaker 1: with the league in the past over at practice today.
34:38
Speaker 1: I said, uh, putting two and two together here, I said,
34:41
Speaker 1: I'm not seen is this because he goes, yeah, you've
34:45
Speaker 1: got four dudes. You've got five draftable guys that they're
34:49
Speaker 1: sniffing on right now, which would be really good.
34:52
Speaker 2: Hm. So to your point, which is which is all
34:56
Speaker 2: great information and nice, but why did that? Why'd you
34:58
Speaker 2: just attack Tyron Bradley for being mean?
35:00
Speaker 1: Because I was watching practice and a coach came to
35:05
Speaker 1: me and he just run a little half line and
35:08
Speaker 1: he said, like that, dude, he said, he is mean.
35:13
Speaker 2: Meant in a complimentary way on the field, of course.
35:16
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm sure he's a nice young man, but
35:18
Speaker 1: like on the field, he's one of those, dude, you
35:20
Speaker 1: need those guys. You need one, you need, you need
35:22
Speaker 1: about four guys on defense. One eye goes this way
35:25
Speaker 1: and the other way.
35:26
Speaker 2: It goes that way. Right, just can't wait to catch
35:28
Speaker 2: his side. Yeah, and he looks good too. He looks
35:32
Speaker 2: he looks me, and he plays me and I like it.
35:34
Speaker 2: Say in two and a half, can he get all
35:35
Speaker 2: the way to six? That's a that's a fairly big jump.
35:37
Speaker 2: But okay, here's one for you. Aubrey Burks last year
35:41
Speaker 2: had two sacks. PFF had him down for only four
35:45
Speaker 2: pass rush attempts. That's been a Brown mentioned index off
35:49
Speaker 2: season storyline about getting Aubrey Burks in the blitz game,
35:52
Speaker 2: in the pass rush game. He's talented pass right, you've
35:54
Speaker 2: heard that. A bunch of hobby getting him with some
35:57
Speaker 2: more opportunities, a guy that can get to the past.
36:00
Speaker 2: Ben Cutter had two sacks last year. Trey Lathan, we've
36:03
Speaker 2: talked about a bunch had twelve quarterback pressures in just
36:06
Speaker 2: the five games that he played. He was an elite
36:09
Speaker 2: pass rusher. Didn't get home on sacks, but was elite
36:12
Speaker 2: at getting to the pressure. So you've got some guys
36:14
Speaker 2: around it. Can you get to so the leader will
36:17
Speaker 2: have to have six. The number is five and a
36:20
Speaker 2: half for the team leader. Over or under.
36:26
Speaker 1: My fear and concern is what you just did. You
36:30
Speaker 1: listed a handful of guys that are all going to
36:35
Speaker 1: be in the neighborhood. You just don't have, like one
36:38
Speaker 1: guy you just don't have, like, hey, is this.
36:42
Speaker 2: Guy gonna give you?
36:43
Speaker 1: And here's how that number normally is reached. Normally, what
36:49
Speaker 1: happens is the guy that leads in sacks has a
36:53
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon where he gets a handful of them at
36:57
Speaker 1: the same time, like to get the five and a half. Normally,
37:01
Speaker 1: what happens is Albany comes in and you get three,
37:04
Speaker 1: and then and then you pick your ray through the
37:07
Speaker 1: rest of the season and you get you Adam on
37:08
Speaker 1: you Adam. By the time it's all, oh my god,
37:10
Speaker 1: you know so and so had seven and a half
37:12
Speaker 1: or so and so had eight. Yeah, I had three
37:13
Speaker 1: against Albany with all due respect Albany, all due respect.
37:17
Speaker 1: So it is another super good number at five and
37:22
Speaker 1: a half based on your history, like I would also,
37:27
Speaker 1: you know what, I would be more apt to say
37:31
Speaker 1: there are more than three guys that will have four
37:34
Speaker 1: than I am to say one guy is gonna have
37:36
Speaker 1: over five and a half.
37:38
Speaker 2: M fair enough.
37:39
Speaker 1: I'd be more comfortable doing that one.
37:43
Speaker 3: Hmmm.
37:46
Speaker 2: See, this is what we try and do on these
37:47
Speaker 2: hop You want, you want some thought. It's hard. What's
37:52
Speaker 2: your number? What do you do? What can you get to? Tony?
37:57
Speaker 3: So you're have you reached a lean under?
38:00
Speaker 1: I'm leaning under, but I think there'll be more guys
38:04
Speaker 1: that have over four. I think there could be some guys.
38:07
Speaker 1: You could have a bunch of guys that have five
38:09
Speaker 1: but don't get to six. And you say the average
38:12
Speaker 1: under Coach Neil is what uh what?
38:15
Speaker 2: I say? Five point six?
38:21
Speaker 1: It's right there, see because right now.
38:23
Speaker 2: Remember five doesn't get you home. I know five and
38:25
Speaker 2: a half done get you home.
38:26
Speaker 1: I know. So right now, in practice, it's too early
38:29
Speaker 1: to tell if Ty French is going to be this
38:33
Speaker 1: speeding bullet because they're not at that point yet where
38:37
Speaker 1: they're where they're letting the dogs run jack now. Right now,
38:41
Speaker 1: right now, they're just taking the dogs for the walk,
38:43
Speaker 1: getting them ready.
38:44
Speaker 2: See this to me really intrigues me, because you're gonna
38:46
Speaker 2: have so One of those NFL guys that they're on
38:49
Speaker 2: is Sean Martin and I mentioned he got to four
38:51
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. Back healthy, looks good. Is
38:55
Speaker 2: he ready to go? Is he ready to line up
38:57
Speaker 2: and say, you know what this is? There's no more
38:59
Speaker 2: potential for Shawn Martin. It's go time for him, right
39:02
Speaker 2: if he wants to be an NFL guy? Does he
39:04
Speaker 2: just turn into a wrecking ball? Does he have four
39:07
Speaker 2: in the first two weeks? Does he get out of
39:09
Speaker 2: the now? If he does, now that's on tape hop
39:11
Speaker 2: So now there's going to be adjustment. But then does
39:13
Speaker 2: somebody else come in? Is there a Trey Lathan? Didn't
39:16
Speaker 2: mention Trotter? Can he get home? Ty French? And there
39:20
Speaker 2: are guys that you think are going to have the
39:21
Speaker 2: ability to get to the quarterback? See how he can
39:24
Speaker 2: they get to six?
39:25
Speaker 1: He's building this. See what he's doing.
39:27
Speaker 2: You see what he's doing.
39:28
Speaker 3: I know exactly what he's doing.
39:29
Speaker 1: He's doing basically the song version of Paradise by the
39:34
Speaker 1: dashboard light. He just keeps building it, building it, building it,
39:39
Speaker 1: building it, and he's wanting us to say.
39:42
Speaker 2: Dante Stills was in the mix three times. He led
39:45
Speaker 2: or tied the team for the sack lead twenty nineteen
39:48
Speaker 2: he tied with his brother Jarrius, so three times it
39:50
Speaker 2: was Dante. Where's Dante playing?
39:51
Speaker 3: Now?
39:52
Speaker 2: Hop he plays for the next the NFL, So you
39:54
Speaker 2: can probably have an NFL guy. David Long is on
39:56
Speaker 2: this list. Where's David Long right now? I think he's
39:57
Speaker 2: in the NFL. Keem Mesador was one, came out of
40:00
Speaker 2: a non traditional sack position while he was here, he
40:03
Speaker 2: led you one year. He had a really good year
40:05
Speaker 2: at Miami. He's probably an NFL guy. So who your
40:07
Speaker 2: NFL guys? He's got some NFL guys in here that
40:09
Speaker 2: can pop. Sean Martin could absolutely get six. Would you
40:11
Speaker 2: be surprised if Sean Martin finished with six?
40:14
Speaker 1: No?
40:14
Speaker 2: Not really happy, not even a little bit.
40:16
Speaker 1: No.
40:16
Speaker 3: Okay, Tony ray Lafin comes back in he's back. But
40:20
Speaker 3: look Tony's I'm under. I'm under because six is a
40:26
Speaker 3: lot for one guy. When you when you don't have
40:28
Speaker 3: a guy that you know, Oh, this guy's the quarterback,
40:31
Speaker 3: this guy's the pass rusher, this guy gets to the quarterback.
40:33
Speaker 3: You know it from last year he had seven last year. Whatever,
40:36
Speaker 3: So somebody would have to do better rush wise than
40:39
Speaker 3: they've done historically. Number one, Number two, like you said,
40:41
Speaker 3: but there's a lot of guys who get to the quarterback,
40:43
Speaker 3: and you can get to the quarterback and get a half,
40:45
Speaker 3: but not a hole. So you can get to the quarterback,
40:48
Speaker 3: you know, eight times, but maybe you're sharing that with
40:51
Speaker 3: somebody else. I just think without having an NFL, without
40:56
Speaker 3: having a an established NFL quality pass rusher, that you know,
41:00
Speaker 3: you've got some possibilities, but you don't know of I
41:03
Speaker 3: go under on the five and a half.
41:06
Speaker 1: You've persuaded me to do the same, because, like he says,
41:10
Speaker 1: Vegas makes its living off of people going over on
41:13
Speaker 1: over unders. I'm gonna go under. I think i'd like,
41:17
Speaker 1: can I add a codastle to the Faber College Constitution?
41:22
Speaker 1: I think that there will be I'll go on, mind,
41:26
Speaker 1: I think that there will be four guys that have
41:29
Speaker 1: more than four.
41:31
Speaker 2: More than four you mean five plus four four? At
41:36
Speaker 2: least you said more than at least four.
41:39
Speaker 1: I could see Aubrey Burks, I could see Ty French,
41:41
Speaker 1: I could see Sean, I could see others Bradley all
41:48
Speaker 1: in that category right, sniffing around four ish. But I
41:52
Speaker 1: can't go over five. I can't get to six. I'm
41:55
Speaker 1: going under what you got?
41:57
Speaker 2: I am shocked that we have two unders here. I
42:00
Speaker 2: thought I was going to be the sole under. I
42:02
Speaker 2: am totally bummed out now YouTube clowns rolled in here
42:05
Speaker 2: with unders. You should have been over there, giddy.
42:08
Speaker 1: You trained us, we're not. We're not like the kid
42:11
Speaker 1: running around first time at the popsicle stand. You trained
42:14
Speaker 1: us through the years.
42:17
Speaker 2: But just let's go through this. So I think here's
42:19
Speaker 2: another factor that that wasn't brought up right there. Just
42:22
Speaker 2: who were you playing against? Because it's also teams are
42:25
Speaker 2: pretty sophisticated in the passing game. Now, Gary getting the
42:28
Speaker 2: sacks a challenge. Penn State, that's going to be hard
42:32
Speaker 2: to get a bunch of sacks against Grin Steller Pitt,
42:37
Speaker 2: who knows what Pitt has. Kansas getting to Jaylen Daniels
42:40
Speaker 2: is going to be a challenge. Oklahoma State, they're going
42:43
Speaker 2: to run the ball a ton plus they get it
42:45
Speaker 2: out quick. Remember with Bowman how fast he gets it out.
42:48
Speaker 2: Those are going to be hard. You can experience quarterback
42:50
Speaker 2: in rock O beck Yep, it's gonna be hard to
42:52
Speaker 2: get to him. He's mobile. Kansas State Avery Johnson, that's
42:56
Speaker 2: a that's a team that's gonna want to run it
42:57
Speaker 2: a bunch tough to get to. How about Aeron Zona
43:00
Speaker 2: also a quarterback that can get on the run and
43:02
Speaker 2: somebody that's going to get it out quickly. You sef
43:06
Speaker 2: you're probably not gonna get a ton of sacks on
43:08
Speaker 2: two hundred and whatever. He is sixty five pound kJ
43:10
Speaker 2: Jefferson in a team that wants to run it. So
43:13
Speaker 2: I think some of this is a product of schedule
43:16
Speaker 2: in this league. It's gone away from we throw it
43:18
Speaker 2: sixty times a game in this league with everybody to
43:21
Speaker 2: more of a There's a lot of run based first
43:23
Speaker 2: teams here. So I think there's absolutely guys talent wise
43:26
Speaker 2: that can get there. Tony, I think there to your point,
43:28
Speaker 2: I think there's a bunch of different guys that will
43:30
Speaker 2: get into that three and a half to four and
43:33
Speaker 2: a half sack range. I think you'll see some of
43:35
Speaker 2: that and getting to six. I won't be surprised if
43:38
Speaker 2: it's a Sean Martin type guy that really has a
43:40
Speaker 2: breakout season and gets there. But I'm going to play
43:43
Speaker 2: the percentage. Is there a lot of it based on
43:46
Speaker 2: schedule more so than personnel. And I'm gonna say under
43:50
Speaker 2: by the way, and I'm bummed beyond belief that you
43:53
Speaker 2: two took under.
43:54
Speaker 1: Speaking of defense, did you know that the defensive coordinator
43:59
Speaker 1: at Oklahoma State, Brian Nardo his brother Luke ga here correct,
44:05
Speaker 1: met that young fellaw yesterday. Very nice young guy out
44:09
Speaker 1: of Ohia.
44:10
Speaker 2: Big contingent of their family on hand for last year's game. Yes,
44:14
Speaker 2: he played at Oklahoma State.
44:15
Speaker 3: Here.
44:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's a brother. The brother is here now.
44:17
Speaker 1: Small world. Talking to Jordan Leslie about it, and he said,
44:22
Speaker 1: you want to get you only get into the weeds.
44:24
Speaker 1: So he met then he met Nardo who's at oak
44:27
Speaker 1: State through Joe Burrow's dad.
44:33
Speaker 2: The Cincinnati quarterback, the.
44:34
Speaker 1: Cincinnati quarterback because he's from Ohio, and just like and
44:39
Speaker 1: like years ago, the dad came through and realized, like
44:43
Speaker 1: Mississippi canet is just it never stops. Oh yeah, this
44:46
Speaker 1: thing never stops. So you disappointed that we went on.
44:49
Speaker 2: I am I'm extremely disappointed. I'm extremely disappointed that we
44:53
Speaker 2: had a sweep in two of the three categories.
44:57
Speaker 3: There's no reflection on is let's it's just like early
45:00
Speaker 3: season and you'll improve a lot from the first week
45:03
Speaker 3: to the second week.
45:05
Speaker 1: Dude, this is intelligent man football. We're not just a
45:08
Speaker 1: bunch of andy gumps running around here.
45:11
Speaker 3: It might be wrong too, by the.
45:13
Speaker 1: Way, Coach kneeling over at the scrimmage Saturday. Yeah, because
45:18
Speaker 1: I called Undra, I said, Andra, where are you? I
45:20
Speaker 1: thought you were supposed to be here. Tony, I'm in
45:23
Speaker 1: the parking. Coach Nielan showed me his new car. Coach,
45:29
Speaker 1: you know you just got a new car. So he
45:30
Speaker 1: was showing Undra.
45:31
Speaker 2: Well.
45:32
Speaker 1: I said, you might want to come in and watch
45:33
Speaker 1: the game a little bit here, but they were out
45:34
Speaker 1: in the park. I said, you're coming back in No
45:36
Speaker 1: to I'm leaving.
45:41
Speaker 2: All right. So more I've got more of these coming
45:44
Speaker 2: on Thursday's episode.
45:44
Speaker 3: Have you already done them?
45:46
Speaker 2: I got a couple of them done.
45:47
Speaker 1: Okay, you having fun with them? I love these, And
45:49
Speaker 1: this is with this how you built your name. This
45:51
Speaker 1: is your brand.
45:52
Speaker 2: I love the I mean, I know you can't do
45:54
Speaker 2: them every show. I could do these every show. I
45:56
Speaker 2: think this is just funny. I think it's a different
45:58
Speaker 2: way to look and talk about the position groups and
46:01
Speaker 2: the offense, defense and what you what you may expect
46:03
Speaker 2: or may see, and also, to me, the fun of
46:07
Speaker 2: this part of the year, especially when you have a
46:10
Speaker 2: team like West Virginia, where there's a bunch of different
46:12
Speaker 2: guys we can talk about and some optimism around the program.
46:15
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of these different things you
46:16
Speaker 2: can go through. That's the fun. What's this season going
46:18
Speaker 2: to look like? How are they going to run it?
46:20
Speaker 2: They're gonna be as good running the football. All three
46:21
Speaker 2: of those guys have better seasons than last year. How
46:24
Speaker 2: about the receivers, they get into some receiving questions next week.
46:27
Speaker 2: There's a bunch of guys that could catch balls. How
46:29
Speaker 2: about touchdown catches? They throw more and then the onknown
46:33
Speaker 2: on the defense.
46:34
Speaker 3: Well, Cole Taba says he's going to catch fifty.
46:38
Speaker 2: You may hear from question next week.
46:42
Speaker 1: You know, football always creates new terms, like basketball brought
46:45
Speaker 1: in score the ball like several years ago. Score the
46:48
Speaker 1: ball big, the big one. The big new one in
46:50
Speaker 1: football now is catch radius. I'll tell you what.
46:53
Speaker 2: Cole Data's got a fantastic catch radius. Not to jump
46:57
Speaker 2: that ball near him, not to jump ahead. But I
47:01
Speaker 2: got lost for a while in tight end numbers over
47:04
Speaker 2: the last twenty five, maybe even thirty seasons.
47:07
Speaker 3: Boy gosh, did you go down a rabbit hole out?
47:10
Speaker 2: Some stuff coming on the tight end Old Cole Taylor
47:14
Speaker 2: has a chain.
47:15
Speaker 1: I saw the receiver. I saw the best catch in
47:17
Speaker 1: terms of catches. I saw the best catch that didn't
47:20
Speaker 1: count of the season.
47:21
Speaker 2: On Saturday, somebody on the side line pac Man Fox,
47:25
Speaker 2: Jaden Bray, C. J. Donaldson.
47:27
Speaker 1: Oh, really made a catch at the goal line.
47:29
Speaker 2: Uh oh, throwing it to the running backs, throwing it
47:33
Speaker 2: to the rush, throwing it to the running backs.
47:35
Speaker 1: The official came.
47:36
Speaker 2: With an off season number one.
47:37
Speaker 1: In the off season, the official came running in.
47:40
Speaker 2: They throw to the running backs a little bit.
47:41
Speaker 1: This year official came running in, ruled them out of bounds,
47:45
Speaker 1: like and you know how officially you don't know if
47:48
Speaker 1: you trust officials this time here because they wear shorts,
47:51
Speaker 1: like you don't know if you cant What does that mean?
47:52
Speaker 1: They just don't look the same. So I think it
47:55
Speaker 1: may be like early season, he makes a call wearing shorts.
47:59
Speaker 1: You know, they run out there. That's not official, that's not.
48:03
Speaker 2: Corre.
48:06
Speaker 1: That was just being fun. But he made a catch,
48:10
Speaker 1: he made.
48:10
Speaker 3: Was he out?
48:11
Speaker 2: He was out? Yeah, he was out.
48:13
Speaker 3: So the official got a run.
48:14
Speaker 1: Garrett walked over like conferred with the official. You sure, yeah,
48:17
Speaker 1: I guess yeah.
48:18
Speaker 3: I like that.
48:18
Speaker 2: By god, they had a big one last year when
48:20
Speaker 2: that throwed a jaheem white, Oh my mattered. Yeah.
48:24
Speaker 1: The the crew that worked the scrimmage on Saturday was
48:26
Speaker 1: an official Big twelve crew, official Big twelve crew, and
48:31
Speaker 1: so I I during the during the halftime, I went
48:34
Speaker 1: over and spoke with one of those gentlemen. I said, now,
48:36
Speaker 1: where are you coming to him from? He said, just
48:39
Speaker 1: outside of Salt Lake.
48:41
Speaker 2: Excuse me, biggame all the way here for a scrimmage.
48:45
Speaker 1: Bigger cruise, new league before the four corners. They brought
48:49
Speaker 1: those guys in.
48:50
Speaker 2: Where's he been working? He's a packed twelve official, probably a.
48:52
Speaker 1: Pack probably packed twelve gentlemen. He didn't know there was
48:55
Speaker 1: a direct flight from Pittsburgh to Salt Lake. They just
48:57
Speaker 1: started about a month ago. I let him know on
48:59
Speaker 1: that one. He didn't heals there is I said, yeah, Delta,
49:03
Speaker 1: you can run.
49:04
Speaker 2: He was in Saturday.
49:05
Speaker 1: He was in Saturday, was a regular crew. And they
49:08
Speaker 1: do it, you know on all kidding aside.
49:09
Speaker 2: Left last Tuesday. Oh you can get it doesn't take
49:13
Speaker 2: two days to get here.
49:14
Speaker 1: He can just kind of come in. But you lose
49:16
Speaker 1: sight of how hard those guys work. In all kidding aside.
49:21
Speaker 1: To get the thing right, man, Like, we just got
49:23
Speaker 1: to sit up there all the time, that guy that happens.
49:26
Speaker 1: They work hard as heck to make sure that it's right. So, yeah,
49:31
Speaker 1: so you're gonna have new officials in the league this year.
49:33
Speaker 1: You have to think about it. You've got four new
49:35
Speaker 1: teams after bringing in four new teams last year, right,
49:40
Speaker 1: so the thing has grown by eight teams and a
49:42
Speaker 1: course of two years.
49:43
Speaker 3: They have a point of emphasis this year. Every year
49:45
Speaker 3: there's a point of emphasis.
49:46
Speaker 1: I don't think you know. I talked to Tony Tarantini,
49:48
Speaker 1: our good friend who works in the ACC who's here
49:51
Speaker 1: in Morgantown. He works a lot of WVU practices during
49:54
Speaker 1: the week, and this was not a rules change year.
50:00
Speaker 1: But the biggest change that is the most significant thing obviously,
50:03
Speaker 1: is that there's gonna be a two minute warning. So
50:05
Speaker 1: that'll change the whole.
50:06
Speaker 2: That may not be the biggest, biggest is helmet communication. Well, sure,
50:09
Speaker 2: I mean that's that's that's our rule change this year. Yeah,
50:12
Speaker 2: that's a I think that's a that's a big one,
50:14
Speaker 2: both offense and defense.
50:15
Speaker 1: Sitting with the boys on Saturday night, I try to
50:17
Speaker 1: get a pool started, you know, just like a couple
50:20
Speaker 1: of Recis cups or something like that that you can
50:22
Speaker 1: get at gomart uh I said, we should have a prediction.
50:27
Speaker 1: What's the let what's the what is the least or
50:31
Speaker 1: the most amount of time that comes off the clock
50:33
Speaker 1: during the game this season going into a two minute warning?
50:38
Speaker 1: What do you mean, like you snap one off at
50:41
Speaker 1: like two to oh two and that thing gets down
50:43
Speaker 1: to like one fifty four before the two I think
50:46
Speaker 1: that's a number.
50:47
Speaker 2: You're numbers guy. So the lowest number closest, the number
50:51
Speaker 2: closest to zero that the two minute warning stops on.
50:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one of my crazy That's a nice one.
50:57
Speaker 2: I like that.
50:57
Speaker 1: I've always been crazy about that. Like in the end,
51:00
Speaker 1: I always get giddy where it's so good weight one
51:02
Speaker 1: because I know what bums the officials out there it
51:03
Speaker 1: gets to like one fifty four, They get all pumped out.
51:07
Speaker 1: They want that thing at two.
51:08
Speaker 2: That's a good one.
51:09
Speaker 1: But what that does is obviously that resets everything and
51:12
Speaker 1: then you go into all your different end of half,
51:15
Speaker 1: end of game scenarios. I'll tell you one thing about
51:19
Speaker 1: over and unders. Always bet the over when it comes
51:22
Speaker 1: to Comac's business systems because they're going to give you
51:25

Speaker 2: So that's that.
52:10

52:43
Speaker 1: really I guess we're gonna read some of them, a
52:45

Speaker 1: Nobody cares work hard. Volleyball is my favorite season. Plus
53:02
Speaker 1: all the new Peter Malar stuff is available. Plus I
53:06
Speaker 1: think I think Rusty over a mountaineer roasting now with
53:08
Speaker 1: our game day grind. I was just gonna say that,
53:10
Speaker 1: I think you can now be hi that. I think
53:12
Speaker 1: he's now selling that by the fifty pounds ber lap
53:15
Speaker 1: sack right from.
53:17
Speaker 3: Columbus Water Firm. That is good.
53:20
Speaker 2: I went iceed again with it today.
53:21
Speaker 3: Interesting.
53:22
Speaker 2: I told you that last week, going ice here, lad, refreshing.
53:25
Speaker 2: I went hot in the morning, second cup here, hot,
53:27
Speaker 2: hot in the morning, went to ice here, thisefnon working
53:30
Speaker 2: for you.
53:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, a little buzz going there.
53:32
Speaker 2: Pretty good.
53:33
Speaker 1: I de scaled my coffee machine for the first time yesterday.
53:36
Speaker 2: How'd that go? Went well? Fine?
53:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, it went really well.
53:39
Speaker 3: How do you do that?
53:40
Speaker 1: It's a lime based powder you put in there and
53:42
Speaker 1: then you let the thing run through a couple of
53:44
Speaker 1: times and you got to rinse it clean. But it
53:45
Speaker 1: takes away any potential calcium deposits that you don't wanny.
53:48
Speaker 1: Calcium in your coffee makes your game day grind you need.
53:51
Speaker 1: That makes your game day grind. By the way, shout

Speaker 1: them next the Thursday episode. But here's one thing. As
54:30
Speaker 1: I said, we have not done textual healing since July
54:32
Speaker 1: the eleventh, so some texts dated themselves out were not used.
54:38
Speaker 1: Kind of think of it this way. Not everyone makes
54:41
Speaker 1: the varsity. When you try out and not all the
54:44
Speaker 1: texts make three guys before the game. Sometimes you either
54:48
Speaker 1: don't get you get caught, or you have to play JV.
54:54
Speaker 1: Texter always a West Virginia connection. I'm in wana Key,
54:58
Speaker 1: Wisconsin for two weeks. I was recommended by a coworker
55:02
Speaker 1: who eat a place called Buck and Honeys. So I
55:05
Speaker 1: go in. Loved the food, it was a great atmosphere,
55:07
Speaker 1: just as good waiter notices that I've come in a
55:10
Speaker 1: few times. So I ask him what he likes on
55:13
Speaker 1: the menu, and he recommends the Firecracker shrimp tacos, which
55:17
Speaker 1: were phenomenal. We get to talk in and he's from Turkey.
55:22
Speaker 1: His waiter was a server, was from Turkey. He moved
55:25
Speaker 1: to the States because his sister went to the University
55:28
Speaker 1: of Wisconsin. I explained that I'm originally from West Virginia,
55:32
Speaker 1: and without missing a beat, he says, Dennis klech la
55:34
Speaker 1: uh huh uh. As he leaves my table, he starts
55:37
Speaker 1: to sing country roads. Of course he did Archie from McKinney,
55:41
Speaker 1: Texas by way of Monroe County.
55:44
Speaker 2: We got a lot in there, Wisconsin, a lot, Yes.
55:48
Speaker 1: I maintain Monroe County, West Virginia may be the most
55:51
Speaker 1: beautiful county in the.
55:52
Speaker 3: States where you successfully hunted.
55:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, you were down there near Monroe County this weekend,
55:57
Speaker 1: weren't you.
55:57
Speaker 3: I was, Yeah that text.
56:00
Speaker 2: I heard your sports Line episode with Oliver Straw.
56:02
Speaker 1: It was great. He's a natural at football in talk shows.
56:06
Speaker 1: I went to Australia in twenty ten where I got
56:08
Speaker 1: to eat kangaroo meat. I thought it tasted like an
56:12
Speaker 1: old Hamburger. The crocodile soup though, ooh, that was delicious,
56:16
Speaker 1: but not the kangaroo. Best food I've ever had the
56:19
Speaker 1: pleasure of eating was prime rib that was made on
56:22
Speaker 1: the barbie by a native Australia. There you go, Australians,
56:27
Speaker 1: good people. Now, women won the bronze a medal in
56:31
Speaker 1: the basketball competition at the Olympics. About the women's basketball team.
56:36
Speaker 1: That was a great game. That was a great game, dude.
56:40
Speaker 1: How about the poor French I mean.
56:42
Speaker 2: Two days, double gut punch, two days.
56:45
Speaker 1: In a row. They got absolutely they got Miami punt
56:50
Speaker 1: block ninety six.
56:52
Speaker 2: Those last two men's games just outstanding. What a great
56:56
Speaker 2: August bonus, the Serbia game and then the French game
56:58
Speaker 2: to win the Golden medal and then that women's game yesterday,
57:01
Speaker 2: another good example for those that want to foul up.
57:04
Speaker 2: Three almost cost you US did not France luckily half
57:10
Speaker 2: a foot on the three point line. Last shot that
57:12
Speaker 2: went in would have tied it had it been a three.
57:14
Speaker 2: It was not counted as a two. Maybe shut a
57:17
Speaker 2: fowl and bring on that balling.
57:18
Speaker 1: Good call by Noah Eagle who instantly know that that
57:21
Speaker 1: was a two and not a far. He was on
57:23
Speaker 1: top of it. Hi, guys, I liked your point about
57:26
Speaker 1: the state providing support for athletics. Could there be a
57:30
Speaker 1: series of West Virginia University sports lottery tickets with the
57:33
Speaker 1: proceeds going to the athletic.
57:35
Speaker 2: Department been discussed for years.
57:37
Speaker 1: I think anything is possible.
57:39
Speaker 2: This time, got some licensing issues there, but the lottery
57:42
Speaker 2: is a major sponsor of w so they're already giving
57:46
Speaker 2: money to the university. Pretty significant dollars.
57:48
Speaker 1: Tony at all, lottery, tony at all. Long text ahead,
57:52
Speaker 1: I hope it makes it in. McDonough asked parentheses. No
57:57
Speaker 1: McDonough asked parenthetics into so he's gonna he wrote this
58:02
Speaker 1: like Sean McDonough would say, Okay, your recent mentions of
58:06
Speaker 1: your bread baking brought back some memories. I too liked
58:10
Speaker 1: the big bread, although the carb count has limited me severely.
58:15
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of the book Beard on Bread. Our
58:18
Speaker 1: family baked a lot of bread. Mom did not. Mom
58:21
Speaker 1: did straight yeast baking, and Alice would make salt risen
58:25
Speaker 1: ad mentally not my favorite. But it was my dad,
58:28
Speaker 1: the Reverend Sterling Morgan, No worship team, just straight preaching.
58:33
Speaker 2: That was.
58:35
Speaker 1: That means a that's a great sentence. What does that mean? Well,
58:38
Speaker 1: that means like nowadays you go to church and they
58:40
Speaker 1: got like seventy two people in a band. He's saying
58:43
Speaker 1: like when his dad preaches, like ain't playing no music,
58:46
Speaker 1: Like here's the book we're going. That's really he's saying
58:49
Speaker 1: a little bit of an Old Testament thing. So he
58:52
Speaker 1: wanted that like done by mcdonoughh. But it was my dad,
58:55
Speaker 1: the Reverend Sterling Morgan. No worship teams, is straight preaching.
59:00
Speaker 1: That was the renowned bread baker. He was famous for
59:02
Speaker 1: a sourdough, had a long standing starter. He'd make as
59:06
Speaker 1: many as twenty loaves in an afternoon. That's a ton
59:11
Speaker 1: of bread men. It was part of his ministry I mean,
59:14
Speaker 1: who would turn away a home visit from the minister
59:16
Speaker 1: if he was bringing you a fresh baked loaf of bread.
59:18
Speaker 3: Huh A good call. Yeah.
59:20
Speaker 1: My dad was a huge Mountaineer fan, had a nine
59:22
Speaker 1: year old mead listening to games when Bernie Galifa was
59:25
Speaker 1: under center. He was proud of the fact that he
59:28
Speaker 1: once saw Jerry westplay on the freshman team in Beckley.
59:31
Speaker 1: Dad said he was quote smooth. Dad passed in twenty fourteen.
59:37
Speaker 1: I'm sure you have more than one listener in Raleigh
59:39
Speaker 1: summers in Greenbrier Counties that were fortunate to have a
59:42
Speaker 1: loaf of Dad's bread. Sound by our buddy Tim Morgan,
59:46
Speaker 1: who also texts under another name. I'll tell you what now,
59:50
Speaker 1: twenty loaves of bread in an afternoon is crazy.
59:55
Speaker 2: Let me show you what I did yesterday.
59:56
Speaker 1: Hey, Austin, can you bring that?
59:58
Speaker 3: Was me?
59:58
Speaker 4: Yes?
59:59
Speaker 1: I did six?
1:00:00
Speaker 3: Those are nice.
1:00:01
Speaker 2: I got six done, got six done.
1:00:04
Speaker 3: This looked good, Tony.
1:00:05
Speaker 1: So let me tell you what I did with two
1:00:06
Speaker 1: of those loaves. I brought him over to football, to
1:00:10
Speaker 1: Jordan Leslie. It was my way of trying to fix
1:00:15
Speaker 1: that hillacious problem we had with that unbelievable unbelievable chicken
1:00:20
Speaker 1: chili that he and his wife made for us that
1:00:23
Speaker 1: was left on my desk and got spoiled. So I
1:00:26
Speaker 1: brought it over there, and I gave him two loaves.
1:00:28
Speaker 1: I said, one for here in the office, now one
1:00:30
Speaker 1: bring home. Please let your wife enjoy that.
1:00:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they were kind enough to do a second run,
1:00:35
Speaker 2: exactly a second run for.
1:00:37
Speaker 1: Us, So I doubled it up. I said, two loaves,
1:00:39
Speaker 1: go ahead, got jab seemed to he seemed like it. Yeah,
1:00:44
Speaker 1: it seems like it. Frank writes in from Clarksburg. According
1:00:48
Speaker 1: to some rumors, the Big Twelve is going to start
1:00:50
Speaker 1: playing non Saturday games. Should West Virginia be tasked with
1:00:54
Speaker 1: playing a game not on a Saturday, then wren Baker
1:00:58
Speaker 1: should request to the league that the game be played
1:01:00
Speaker 1: on the week of Bridge Day. That way, you play
1:01:03
Speaker 1: on a non Saturday and Mountaineer fans wouldn't have to
1:01:06
Speaker 1: worry about the bridge being closed.
1:01:07
Speaker 2: There.
1:01:09
Speaker 1: You have no idea, And you'll see here in a
1:01:11
Speaker 1: little bit how many Bridge Day people wanted to let
1:01:15
Speaker 1: us know when we talked about Bridge Day, that it's
1:01:17
Speaker 1: always the third Saturday of October. We didn't know that,
1:01:20
Speaker 1: but they let us know in no uncertain terms. Okay,
1:01:28
Speaker 1: Texter says, I love the Ren Baker interview. I can't
1:01:30
Speaker 1: believe you guys missed the opportunity to ask that guy
1:01:32
Speaker 1: what kind of fitness plan he's on, because man, he
1:01:34
Speaker 1: looks like a different human being. And how is he
1:01:38
Speaker 1: going to go on and on about the bear that
1:01:41
Speaker 1: he posted a picture of on social media and then
1:01:43
Speaker 1: have a social media set the private so none of
1:01:46
Speaker 1: us could get to see the bear picture he's referring to. Haha,
1:01:49
Speaker 1: I get it. It's hard to be a celebrity in
1:01:51
Speaker 1: the spotlight speaking of looking like a different human being
1:01:56
Speaker 1: that doesn't even look like Tony in the picture that
1:01:58
Speaker 1: goes with that podcast. If you told me it was
1:02:01
Speaker 1: his brother or his cousin, I'd believe it.
1:02:03
Speaker 2: I took a.
1:02:03
Speaker 1: Triple take, then zoomed into confirm that it was indeed Tony,
1:02:06
Speaker 1: and I'm still not convinced. Thanks for Roland Fellas. So
1:02:11
Speaker 1: several people have brought this wells Curtis. Importantly, you do
1:02:14
Speaker 1: have an AI look to you there. They're right, they're right,
1:02:19
Speaker 1: you have a good reason, but they're right. Could you
1:02:21
Speaker 1: put that picture up there?
1:02:22
Speaker 2: All right? So I have good reason is right. Very
1:02:26
Speaker 2: AI is very ais.
1:02:29
Speaker 1: So I talked about this on sports Line, and I
1:02:32
Speaker 1: guess I never brought it up here on Three Guys
1:02:34
Speaker 1: Written by the way, So yes, there's somebody on text
1:02:37
Speaker 1: line that looked like Tony had cosmetic surgery, though well
1:02:41
Speaker 1: it wasn't cosmetic. I had surgery on my eyes because
1:02:46
Speaker 1: I've been holding back for two years now. My doctor,
1:02:49
Speaker 1: rich Gelller over there at that big white tower down Pineview,
1:02:53
Speaker 1: he told me a couple of years ago. He said,
1:02:54
Speaker 1: the skin on your eyelids is coming down and it's
1:02:57
Speaker 1: going to impact the amount of light that's going to
1:02:59
Speaker 1: go in so you could see. So you were about
1:03:01
Speaker 1: to have a situation, and I thought, I kind of
1:03:03
Speaker 1: use my eyes a little bit for work you do,
1:03:06
Speaker 1: and so I held off two years because there's a
1:03:08
Speaker 1: period of time about four or five weeks before it
1:03:12
Speaker 1: resolves itself. So that was one of the pictures that
1:03:15
Speaker 1: I had when my eyes were still jacked up.
1:03:18
Speaker 2: That was fairly early in the return.
1:03:20
Speaker 1: That was about a week and a half after We're
1:03:22
Speaker 1: you're fine now, yeah, So thank you very much. No,
1:03:25
Speaker 1: I did not get a Kardashian facial, but I got
1:03:28
Speaker 1: those lids. That guy does a nice job. I got
1:03:31
Speaker 1: to go there this week. He's going to give me
1:03:32
Speaker 1: my clearance. But they cut those things right up there. Wow,
1:03:36
Speaker 1: I could tell you, I could send you some pictures
1:03:37
Speaker 1: of after it got done. Scare the hell out.
1:03:39
Speaker 2: I didn't want to see this well because he brought
1:03:41
Speaker 2: those out on solicited or we didn't ask. He just
1:03:44
Speaker 2: pulled it out. There's surgery picture. Like I at least
1:03:47
Speaker 2: need a warning so I can opt out. I got
1:03:49
Speaker 2: no opt out option. Charlie from Midlosk. I saw him
1:03:54
Speaker 2: really early in the process. He did the same thing live,
1:03:56
Speaker 2: just to get sunglasses off without giving me a heads
1:03:58
Speaker 2: up what was coming. That bruising's real. That was some surgery,
1:04:02
Speaker 2: you know, a little kind of serious manner.
1:04:05
Speaker 1: Charlie from Midloath. This is what I told the doctor
1:04:08
Speaker 1: the morning that he came in. You know, they come
1:04:10
Speaker 1: in to see you there. Right before they bring in
1:04:11
Speaker 1: the room, I said, here's the deal, dude, I said,
1:04:15
Speaker 1: you cannot make me look for the rest of my
1:04:17
Speaker 1: like like Kenny Rogers that I'm surprised, like I didn't
1:04:20
Speaker 1: want to look like this. He goes, No, No, that's
1:04:24
Speaker 1: not what this is. We're just cutting the thing and
1:04:26
Speaker 1: pulling it. It's now we're not giving you like it
1:04:28
Speaker 1: wasn't cosmetic. You know a lot of people out there
1:04:31
Speaker 1: got some bad plastic surgery. Now this wasn't plastic surgery.
1:04:35
Speaker 1: This was a corrective process.
1:04:37
Speaker 3: But like now, you did not have plastic surgery.
1:04:40
Speaker 1: Bobby Bowden would say, Now, he did not have plastic surgery.
1:04:43
Speaker 1: But he just the boy wanted to see better. He
1:04:46
Speaker 1: had to get the light back in his head.
1:04:50
Speaker 3: But we missed him.
1:04:52
Speaker 1: Tony. Thank you for having your picture made with us
1:04:54
Speaker 1: on Thursday at the b Mac Golf outing in Mountainsville.
1:04:57
Speaker 1: Even more, thanks for sitting at her table giving us
1:04:59
Speaker 1: some insight. You helped make the day incredible, memorable and enjoyable.
1:05:03
Speaker 1: My father, those guys there see what I did there,
1:05:05
Speaker 1: took my had my picture made, but that was after
1:05:07
Speaker 1: the surgers. I had kept my sun glass side. Sure,
1:05:10
Speaker 1: so that is just a great guy. That's Matt and Tulsa.
1:05:12
Speaker 1: It's a star studded photo. Right there right next to
1:05:15
Speaker 1: me is Matt and Tulsa. He's in the political world.
1:05:17
Speaker 1: Hope you should talk to him. He's in all kinds,
1:05:19
Speaker 1: like real political stuff.
1:05:20
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it might be an operative.
1:05:24
Speaker 1: And next to him is that's John S Marshall, who
1:05:27
Speaker 1: hosts the b MAC golf tournament. They do a great job,
1:05:29
Speaker 1: they raise money every year for the Mac.
1:05:31
Speaker 2: Wonderful supporter.
1:05:32
Speaker 1: And Bryden Adkins is the mountaineer and Matt from Tulsa's
1:05:36
Speaker 1: dad's in that picture too, And people have no idea
1:05:40
Speaker 1: how many events the Mountaineer does in a year. Oh yeah,
1:05:43
Speaker 1: it's like two hundred and fifty, two hundred and sixty
1:05:45
Speaker 1: things he goes to.
1:05:46
Speaker 2: It's correct, what a pain in the put two? That
1:05:49
Speaker 2: is right?
1:05:50
Speaker 3: And how many requests Brad, you've been ahead?
1:05:52
Speaker 2: Do you get like?
1:05:52
Speaker 3: Can a mountaineer come here? Can go?
1:05:54
Speaker 1: Everyone thinks he goes to thirteen four x Yeah, yeah,
1:05:57
Speaker 1: everyone thinks they go to thirteen football games and basketball game.
1:06:00
Speaker 2: That's a that's a that's the most visible part of
1:06:03
Speaker 2: what they do. It's a very minor small part of
1:06:05
Speaker 2: that job. Well, I talked to him.
1:06:07
Speaker 1: He was still trying to get a feel for the
1:06:08
Speaker 1: business that he's in now because this is his first
1:06:10
Speaker 1: year and he kind of figured out he's not driving
1:06:13
Speaker 1: in his car anymore. Wearing the suit. He gets there
1:06:16
Speaker 1: to the event and puts it on now because you
1:06:18
Speaker 1: know you're driving down the road, someone looks over at you. You
1:06:20
Speaker 1: got the buckskin on. Get some eyes.
1:06:23
Speaker 2: That is kind of funny though it is you're driving
1:06:25
Speaker 2: down the interstate. You look over, there's a mountaineer in
1:06:27
Speaker 2: full gear.
1:06:29
Speaker 1: Have you ever have that happen with a clown? You
1:06:34
Speaker 1: drive down the road, you come to stop at a light.
1:06:37
Speaker 4: Thing.
1:06:37
Speaker 2: I think I have seen a clown driving.
1:06:39
Speaker 1: Chances are it's kind of happened to everyone. Once you
1:06:41
Speaker 1: look over, don't like it. Got a big got a
1:06:44
Speaker 1: big clown, got his hands on the stair and we'll
1:06:46
Speaker 1: got seventy two puppy balloons in the.
1:06:49
Speaker 3: Back of the car.
1:06:49
Speaker 2: It was singing a little whe dog out. Don't need
1:06:52
Speaker 2: to see the clowns driving or otherwise I'll due respect
1:06:55
Speaker 2: for the clowns. Hey man, a light turned green, big
1:07:01
Speaker 2: clown stoplight? Run around chains drivers.
1:07:07
Speaker 1: Longtime listener, as in every episode, but this is the
1:07:11
Speaker 1: very first time that I'm texting my wife, myself and
1:07:15
Speaker 1: my two daughters recently visited Disney in Orlando. Second day there,
1:07:21
Speaker 1: I wear a WVU football shirt and of course I
1:07:24
Speaker 1: meet five people before lunch with West Virginia ties, including
1:07:27
Speaker 1: three grads, of course, a Disney employee from Logan County,
1:07:31
Speaker 1: and a security guard whose mom was a graduate of There.
1:07:35
Speaker 1: There they are right there, they're family. Yeah, that's the
1:07:39
Speaker 1: Next day, I wear a T shirt with a Mountaineer
1:07:41
Speaker 1: logo on it, which I sent a picture of. So
1:07:44
Speaker 1: there's that, say, there's so he wore that shirt with
1:07:47
Speaker 1: the Mountaineer on and I was asked by a security
1:07:51
Speaker 1: guard if the logo that I was wearing on my
1:07:54
Speaker 1: shirt was Gaston of Beauty and the Beast. I had
1:07:59
Speaker 1: never heard that one. However, after doing some googling, I
1:08:03
Speaker 1: did find this picture.
1:08:04
Speaker 2: That's one.
1:08:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that is an old picture of Gaston that
1:08:08
Speaker 1: has some similarity. Yes, it does. Finally, that dinner. At
1:08:15
Speaker 1: dinner that night, we're dining at an Irish restaurant called
1:08:18
Speaker 1: Raglan Road and a live band was playing. The second
1:08:21
Speaker 1: song we heard was of course country Roads, West Virginia
1:08:23
Speaker 1: connection even less by the way, he says, my wife
1:08:26
Speaker 1: Audre and I were cheerleaders at the university in the
1:08:30
Speaker 1: late nineties. My brother Scott was the mountaineer around two thousand.
1:08:34
Speaker 1: My brother in law Brandon Flower was the mountaineer in
1:08:37
Speaker 1: the late nineties as a dedicated listener as well. Once again,
1:08:41
Speaker 1: as my hat from episode eight hundred, dot com states,
1:08:44
Speaker 1: there is always a West Virginia connection. Go Mountaineers. That's
1:08:47
Speaker 1: by Chris Moore from Fairmont.
1:08:48
Speaker 2: It's a great mountaineer family right there.
1:08:50
Speaker 1: Sure I love Audres. She all of a great Audrey. Yes,
1:08:53
Speaker 1: she's terrific. Now go back to that first picture of
1:08:55
Speaker 1: the whole family. I did notice this, Audre, that your
1:08:58
Speaker 1: two daughters are passing the height the ones already passed her,
1:09:02
Speaker 1: and the other one is like you probably already beat
1:09:04
Speaker 1: her too.
1:09:04
Speaker 2: That's a good point.
1:09:05
Speaker 1: So yeah, absolutely, thanks very much. Gaston had not put
1:09:09
Speaker 1: Gaston in the Mountaineer together.
1:09:11
Speaker 3: That's a that's the first, but it works.
1:09:13
Speaker 1: It fits a lot of people think that Garrett Green
1:09:16
Speaker 1: looks like the Mountaineer.
1:09:17
Speaker 2: There's a shot side shot of the when the statues
1:09:20
Speaker 2: turned on the side profile and you get a Garrett
1:09:22
Speaker 2: side profile, and they got they got something to.
1:09:25
Speaker 3: That because it has that that angular yeah face, yeah
1:09:28
Speaker 3: real quick.
1:09:29
Speaker 2: Won't go into this long, but I told you guys this.
1:09:32
Speaker 2: I had occasion to be traveling this summer. Yes it
1:09:35
Speaker 2: was in parts unknown, but not in the United States.

1:10:11
Speaker 2: I had the kid. Gave him a pass.
1:10:12

1:10:14
Speaker 2: him a pass. That's did it. We're getting the one.
1:10:17
Speaker 2: Quick note, I did feel a little bit bad for
1:10:20
Speaker 2: a for a buddy there with Boston Red Sox hat
1:10:22
Speaker 2: on because they do that. They're like pitt that's one
1:10:25
Speaker 2: of their things. He like, he was really excited when
1:10:28

1:10:29
Speaker 2: Boston Red Sox buddy. He got overwhelmed quick for what
1:10:33
Speaker 2: the Boston Red Sox song. And then hand to God
1:10:35
Speaker 2: that played and the very next song as we were
1:10:37

Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, you can't escape it.
1:10:41
Speaker 2: It's amazing.

Speaker 1: A great time of the year. I want to give
1:11:19
Speaker 1: a shout out to a gentleman by the name who's
1:11:21
Speaker 1: a listener, Austin Smith and Buck Cannon. He has been
1:11:25
Speaker 1: sending me these graphics and stats, stat graphics. Look at
1:11:30
Speaker 1: that just by the way. That's a spider graphic of
1:11:33
Speaker 1: the reception total from last year's mountaineer team. So you
1:11:37
Speaker 1: see Cole Taylor way up there, and then Devin Carter
1:11:40
Speaker 1: had more catches than I thought. And then you see
1:11:43
Speaker 1: a pac Man fox. But that's kind of a spider
1:11:46
Speaker 1: graph of catches though it's kind of neat, so thank
1:11:49
Speaker 1: you Austin for sending me these graphic go rip through
1:11:52
Speaker 1: a couple of those, so there's passing in a Russian
1:11:55
Speaker 1: case state last year. If you take a look at
1:11:56
Speaker 1: that really super close like they have pretty dog un
1:11:59
Speaker 1: closelmost fifty to fifty past to run. But anyway, he
1:12:02
Speaker 1: did a bunch of good stuff, so we might use
1:12:04
Speaker 1: some of these as time goes on. And Garrett Green
1:12:09
Speaker 1: adjusted quarterback against power for its a lot of interesting stuff.
1:12:13
Speaker 1: People do that send us things. We'd like graphics, we
1:12:18
Speaker 1: actually enjoy food sent to us even more. I was
1:12:22
Speaker 1: going to say, we have anything that's non perishable, send
1:12:24
Speaker 1: it our way. Texas said, I was listening to your
1:12:28
Speaker 1: episode with coach Sabans, who reminded me back to the
1:12:31
Speaker 1: night of the draft. We of course donned our West
1:12:33
Speaker 1: Virginia gear and gave out a very nice loud let's
1:12:36
Speaker 1: go Mountaineers chant as JJ Weatherholt made his way to
1:12:39
Speaker 1: the stage. This obviously led to some stairs from those nearby.
1:12:43
Speaker 1: We didn't care. That's our guy. It was an honor
1:12:45
Speaker 1: to be there for the night.
1:12:46
Speaker 2: There he is.
1:12:47
Speaker 1: Look at that JJ. That night inside that thing in
1:12:49
Speaker 1: fort Worth getting interviewed by Yahoo Sports. Signed by Cody
1:12:54
Speaker 1: fort Worth via Ravenswood. Thank you very much appreciate that, Texter.
1:13:00
Speaker 1: I just returned from a trip with my family to
1:13:02
Speaker 1: Iceland this summer, hoping to find other mountaineer fans. I
1:13:06
Speaker 1: had planned to where my West Virginia had the entire trip.
1:13:09
Speaker 1: Sure enough, literally ten minutes into walking through the streets
1:13:13
Speaker 1: of Raykovic after we arrived, I heard someone yell, let's
1:13:18
Speaker 1: go mountaineers from across the street. This is in right, Iceland, hobby.
1:13:22
Speaker 2: Ye.
1:13:23
Speaker 1: Following day, we visit a national park located in a
1:13:26
Speaker 1: rift valley between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.
1:13:31
Speaker 1: Within five minutes of arriving at the park, one person yells,
1:13:34
Speaker 1: let's go mountaineers. At another person came up and told
1:13:36
Speaker 1: me they were from West Virginia added or a long
1:13:39
Speaker 1: way from Appalachia. All total five days in Iceland, I
1:13:43
Speaker 1: interacted with four West Virginia fans. There really is a
1:13:47
Speaker 1: West Virginia connection wherever you may be, Dan and Damascus, Maryland.
1:13:51
Speaker 2: Truly, that's not just something we say as away. That
1:13:54
Speaker 2: really is true.
1:13:55
Speaker 3: Did you have Raykovic on your bingo card today? Did
1:13:58
Speaker 3: they not rarely rare that Raykovic comes up on three guys?
1:14:03
Speaker 1: Hey, three guys are two guys? Who knows anymore? I
1:14:06
Speaker 1: got a story for y'all. Flashback to around twenty fourteen.
1:14:11
Speaker 1: I'm in California on vacation. My mom and dad are there.
1:14:14
Speaker 1: We go out to dinner, but the table they put
1:14:16
Speaker 1: us at had no TVs in sight, So obviously I
1:14:19
Speaker 1: wanted to watch football because it was a Saturday night.
1:14:22
Speaker 1: Being about eight years old at the time, I went
1:14:24
Speaker 1: up sat at the bar. Of course he did so
1:14:26
Speaker 1: I could watch football. I love this eight year old
1:14:28
Speaker 1: at the bar. Bartender told me that I obviously was
1:14:30
Speaker 1: not allowed to sit at the bar at that age. However,
1:14:32
Speaker 1: after trying to convince her to let me stay and
1:14:34
Speaker 1: watch football, I learned.
1:14:35
Speaker 2: That she's real quick. Before you get the punchline here,
1:14:38
Speaker 2: good job by the eight year old to not just
1:14:39
Speaker 2: say okay and walk.
1:14:40
Speaker 1: Away a defying eight year old. Bet you he's a
1:14:43
Speaker 1: lawyer now. Anyway. However, after trying to convince her let
1:14:47
Speaker 1: me stay and watch football, I learned that she's from Charleston,
1:14:50
Speaker 1: West Virginia, where I'm from.
1:14:51
Speaker 2: Weh wouldn't she be.
1:14:52
Speaker 1: After talking more, I also learned that her dad regularly
1:14:55
Speaker 1: hung out at the Tutor's Biscuit facility up at Yager Airport.
1:15:03
Speaker 1: So we go back to Yager, we make a visit.
1:15:05
Speaker 1: I had no idea, he had no idea who we were.
1:15:09
Speaker 1: But I told him, hey, we just met your daughter
1:15:10
Speaker 1: in California. Even though I was just eight years old.
1:15:13
Speaker 1: She'd let me sit at the bar because there's always
1:15:17
Speaker 1: a West Virginia connection, always, always, So there's an eight
1:15:21
Speaker 1: year old at a bar, just ordered a Shirley Temple.
1:15:25
Speaker 1: Just I used to pound those ordering a Shirley Temple.
1:15:27
Speaker 2: Those are popular. They like this.
1:15:30
Speaker 1: Those are good.

1:16:23
Speaker 1: Hell you little situation here, what I didn't want to
1:16:27
Speaker 1: bring it up, but we will. A Texter sent this in.
1:16:31
Speaker 1: This was in Barbersville at a Minard's. They're kind of
1:16:34
Speaker 1: like Lows. They put their football schedule out there for
1:16:38
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Yeah, all the times were in Central Time.
1:16:41
Speaker 1: It's in Barbersville, West Virginia.
1:16:42
Speaker 2: Excuse me?
1:16:43
Speaker 1: What?
1:16:45
Speaker 2: Yeah?
1:16:46
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't. I'm not saying I'm not condemning Minards.
1:16:49
Speaker 1: They're based out of the Midwest. They might want to
1:16:51
Speaker 1: figure out there's an East coast too.
1:16:54
Speaker 2: Just saying I thought we were done with that.
1:16:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, Texas As three guys greatly enjoy the Olympics. Yeah,
1:17:03
Speaker 1: hard to process how much a dedication sacrifice it takes
1:17:06
Speaker 1: to get to the Olympics. Then most of the time
1:17:08
Speaker 1: you have to go to a foreign land, unfamiliar with
1:17:10
Speaker 1: what your face, with beds, food, physical, mentality, challenging. It
1:17:14
Speaker 1: was I thought the Olympics were fantastic, just unbelievable.
1:17:16
Speaker 2: Love the Olympics. Yeah, I get bummed every year when
1:17:18
Speaker 2: it's over. I do think that as remarkable as achievements are,
1:17:22
Speaker 2: that we see every game with the Mountaineers, those Olympians,
1:17:25
Speaker 2: all that stuff the text he mentioned, plus just think
1:17:27
Speaker 2: about how your game day is four years apart. You
1:17:32
Speaker 2: need to not only have all of that stuff dialed in,
1:17:35
Speaker 2: but hope you don't stub your toe going to the
1:17:37
Speaker 2: bathroom in the middle of the night, you don't wake
1:17:39
Speaker 2: up with a cold, You're not a little bit stuffed.
1:17:41
Speaker 2: The number of things that can go wrong are almost
1:17:44
Speaker 2: incalculable for an Olympic athlete. It's really remarkable and it.
1:17:47
Speaker 3: Was a do It was just a It was a
1:17:49
Speaker 3: great setting to have it in and around Paris, you know,
1:17:52
Speaker 3: to have like the women's beach volleyball and the Eiffel
1:17:55
Speaker 3: Towers in the background and the opening ceremony on the
1:17:58
Speaker 3: on the Seine and it just it was. It was wonderful.
1:18:01
Speaker 3: It was really culturally just amazing.
1:18:03
Speaker 2: NBC set with with your guy Mike Ico friend the
1:18:07
Speaker 2: show with that backdrop of the lit up Eiffel Tower
1:18:10
Speaker 2: behind him every night. It was tremendous. I don't know
1:18:12
Speaker 2: if you guys saw yesterday real quick and we'll move on,
1:18:14
Speaker 2: and we've got a lot of texts. They did a
1:18:15
Speaker 2: thing yesterday with Tariko where he had Al Michaels and
1:18:19
Speaker 2: Bob Costas on the set and they were all three
1:18:21
Speaker 2: talking about just the macro as you would say, of
1:18:24
Speaker 2: just different olympiads. That was really neat and special with
1:18:27
Speaker 2: those three guys.
1:18:28
Speaker 3: In NBC did they figured it out because they got
1:18:30
Speaker 3: burn on Tokyo was go ahead and show the events
1:18:33
Speaker 3: during the day, show them when they're happening, and then
1:18:36
Speaker 3: and then you know, repackage it and show it at night.
1:18:39
Speaker 3: And that worked. That worked.
1:18:41
Speaker 2: It was really the ratings way up.
1:18:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, that whole thing about we're not going to show
1:18:45
Speaker 3: you because we're not gonna that was a mistake and
1:18:47
Speaker 3: they fixed it.
1:18:48
Speaker 1: That was pretty iconic to have Michaels and Costas and
1:18:52
Speaker 1: Turco and you remember growing up when ABC had the Olympics.
1:18:56
Speaker 2: Jim McKay m.
1:18:57
Speaker 1: Was that, dude, I want to show you something. Of
1:18:59
Speaker 1: course you said to go friend of the program, right,
1:19:01
Speaker 1: buddy of ours. So years ago, Hoppy Kerchival had a
1:19:06
Speaker 1: student at Morgantown High who would come in and help
1:19:10
Speaker 1: him arrange guests and produce his show for talk Line.
1:19:14
Speaker 1: And the kid was a phenom and you could tell
1:19:18
Speaker 1: this kid was going to be just like off the chart,
1:19:22
Speaker 1: like super successful. And his name back then was Stacy Zepp,
1:19:28
Speaker 1: a great baseball player at Morgantown High and whole deal
1:19:32
Speaker 1: and played back when Danny Lohman played Danny's Hall of Famer.
1:19:35
Speaker 2: Over there at the high school.
1:19:37
Speaker 1: So Stacy goes to Kentucky and then it goes to
1:19:41
Speaker 1: the Barook Business School at NYU and then becomes lawyers
1:19:45
Speaker 1: up in Boston, does all the same law school maybe
1:19:47
Speaker 1: like at Northeastern anyway ahead of his class. Basically he
1:19:51
Speaker 1: runs YouTube now like if they hadn't already created the
1:19:54
Speaker 1: name YouTube before he got their pair, like you, Zepp
1:19:59
Speaker 1: would probably be what the name of it or statue
1:20:01
Speaker 1: zep tu. So he he sent me a picture last
1:20:05
Speaker 1: week from the Olympics and said, hey, a buddy of
1:20:07
Speaker 1: yours wanted to say hello, so if you could put
1:20:09
Speaker 1: that picture there. So he sends me this picture right
1:20:12
Speaker 1: with Turrico so because he works for us. Now, then
1:20:15
Speaker 1: he sent me two other pictures.
1:20:17
Speaker 2: Look at this.
1:20:17
Speaker 1: Give me those other two? Did I say? Guy named
1:20:20
Speaker 1: Steph Curry random last couple a couple of days Stacy
1:20:25
Speaker 1: and then guy named Tom Brady he was there. He
1:20:27
Speaker 1: was also there too, So Zepp pulled off the hat
1:20:30
Speaker 1: trick of Torrico, Curry and Tom Brady pretty good.
1:20:35
Speaker 3: Where did were they at some high end event or something.
1:20:38
Speaker 1: Had to be like NBC? Probably My guess is NBC
1:20:43
Speaker 1: must have had a big thing because Brady's there because
1:20:45
Speaker 1: he's gonna do football this year, and Steph's got a
1:20:48
Speaker 1: thing on Peacock coming.
1:20:50
Speaker 2: Brady was all over, he went to They had him
1:20:52
Speaker 2: at a bunch of yes and Stacey.
1:20:54
Speaker 1: Jonathan Zepp. Now, Jonathan Zepp, he is the guy that
1:20:58
Speaker 1: created that brings in content for YouTube, manages content for YouTube.
1:21:04
Speaker 1: So apparently there was a big deal. But he sent
1:21:06
Speaker 1: me those. Now he worked for Kerchival. Now did you
1:21:09
Speaker 1: not pay him either? Game beanery card? He was Hey, listen,
1:21:12
Speaker 1: I'd love to give you a Boston Beanery card. But
1:21:15
Speaker 1: you're still in high school.
1:21:16
Speaker 3: I could tell early on like this, he's smarter than me. Yeah,
1:21:20
Speaker 3: he's he's gonna go. He's going to grow beyond us
1:21:22
Speaker 3: pretty quickly. Same with Turrico when he would send reports
1:21:27
Speaker 3: from from.
1:21:28
Speaker 2: W a R in Syracuse in Syracuse, would that be
1:21:31
Speaker 2: game reports when you're doing halftime that day.
1:21:33
Speaker 3: I've told you that story.
1:21:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we always like you during games.
1:21:36
Speaker 3: So during games, I'm doing halftime for the Mountaineer Sports
1:21:38
Speaker 3: Network and Tony says, we'll call the students station up
1:21:41
Speaker 3: there w a R. They'll get a student to do
1:21:43
Speaker 3: the report for you on the Syracuse game. Back when
1:21:46
Speaker 3: you're in the Big East. So it's getting ready for
1:21:47
Speaker 3: halftime and I call up. I get a report on
1:21:49
Speaker 3: a Syracuse game. This guy comes on, like Syracuse, Lee's
1:21:52
Speaker 3: Rutgers and it does this report. I remember, like it
1:21:55
Speaker 3: was yesterday listening to that, thinking, this guy's really good
1:22:00
Speaker 3: as student, and he sounds off. This is Mike Terriko
1:22:02
Speaker 3: over the Mountaineer Sports Network. I thought, who's Mike Terrico?
1:22:05
Speaker 1: He always asks about you, He always asked, how's Hoppy?
1:22:08
Speaker 3: I tell you what you know? But this is he
1:22:10
Speaker 3: is a friend of the program. But watching that, I.
1:22:12
Speaker 2: Mean he is elite, really good. He's elite pretty smooth,
1:22:18
Speaker 2: Oh my, he is.
1:22:19
Speaker 1: He is ice after the Zamboni clears it. He's just
1:22:22
Speaker 1: like white smooth ice, like perfect clean. He's just smooth, clean,
1:22:29
Speaker 1: doesn't miss.
1:22:30
Speaker 3: Doesn't miss and miss and you know, and doesn't get
1:22:33
Speaker 3: is entertaining and informed, doesn't get outside the lines, you know,
1:22:38
Speaker 3: which when you're doing that much. Yeah, there's a chance
1:22:41
Speaker 3: that what's happening, what's happening talking that's some sort of
1:22:44
Speaker 3: a series talking to me? I didn't get it. But
1:22:48
Speaker 3: just there's not any I don't think Tony, there's anybody better.
1:22:52
Speaker 3: Right now, he's glass man.
1:22:54
Speaker 1: He's smooth as glass really is. Tell you what? So
1:22:57
Speaker 1: we I got this text line all these Syracuse announcers
1:23:00
Speaker 1: grads that we all work with them, and most of
1:23:02
Speaker 1: them have worked here, right, you got Pash and we
1:23:04
Speaker 1: got all these guys on there, and so we were
1:23:06
Speaker 1: texting last like McDonough will always come in, like when
1:23:10
Speaker 1: there was some like opening ceremonies just got over and
1:23:12
Speaker 1: Sean Texan on behalf of everyone just like to say, Mike,
1:23:17
Speaker 1: you did a fantastic job. And like so Tarico like
1:23:22
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys jump in there like Iron Eagle
1:23:24
Speaker 1: and pashes on there and all these guys jumping a
1:23:27
Speaker 1: great job, great job. D da da da da, and
1:23:29
Speaker 1: like after about thirty minutes, like Tarico says, guys, thank
1:23:33
Speaker 1: you very much. It was great. Identy, I'm looking at
1:23:35
Speaker 1: my phone. It's like it's ten o'clock at night. Here,
1:23:38
Speaker 1: it's four o'clock in the morning. There, I'm like, dude,
1:23:40
Speaker 1: go to bed. And then yesterday when basketball got over,
1:23:44
Speaker 1: like Sean started it again.
1:23:46
Speaker 2: It's good.
1:23:46
Speaker 1: I should go back to Rene's the men win the
1:23:48
Speaker 1: basketball gold medal Saturday and mcdonoughh comes in, Noah, fantastic job,
1:23:54
Speaker 1: gold medal performance.
1:23:56
Speaker 2: For no Eagle of course eagle. Yeah, and his dad's
1:23:59
Speaker 2: on there.
1:23:59
Speaker 1: So it's but.
1:24:01
Speaker 3: Again to believe the point, but to do what Tariko
1:24:03
Speaker 3: does and then also Brad to cut in when they're
1:24:07
Speaker 3: showing like b role of other events. He just jumps
1:24:10
Speaker 3: in and just jumps in and does a little play
1:24:12
Speaker 3: by play of these sometimes obscure sports with all the
1:24:15
Speaker 3: names and gets it right. That is so hard, is
1:24:19
Speaker 3: so hard, and he's just he's fun to watch.
1:24:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, Texters says, I just returned from a classic summer
1:24:25
Speaker 1: beach vaka in Myrtle Beach. While there, my sons were
1:24:28
Speaker 1: impressed to see the amount of West Virginia cars, vehicles,
1:24:31
Speaker 1: and the flying WV. I'm hoping the collective marketing genius
1:24:35
Speaker 1: of three guys can come up with something. We need
1:24:37
Speaker 1: a better phrase to a call and repeat if you will,
1:24:40
Speaker 1: for mountaineer fans to have with one another. For example,
1:24:43
Speaker 1: yelling let's go could get a sideways look I had
1:24:48
Speaker 1: turned in another direction to see where no one needs
1:24:50
Speaker 1: to go, or potentially a confrontation. Other schools have phrase
1:24:54
Speaker 1: like roll tide, war eagle, or even a hand gesture
1:24:58
Speaker 1: that can or can't get a penalty. I had a
1:25:00
Speaker 1: professor who wanted simple gifts to be yelled out, which
1:25:04
Speaker 1: to me is just not tough enough. Do you guys
1:25:07
Speaker 1: have any thought that Brad not get something off the ground,
1:25:10
Speaker 1: Alan Morgantown, I think let's need one.
1:25:12
Speaker 2: Let's go, Yeah, I said, sorry, let's go come mountaineers
1:25:14
Speaker 2: as the one don't it doesn't. Yeah. If you're a
1:25:17
Speaker 2: mountaineer guy and you're gonna get ounaineer, yeah, don't reinvent
1:25:21
Speaker 2: the wheel here Alan, thanks for it. Textas says, thanks
1:25:24
Speaker 2: me to be.
1:25:24
Speaker 3: Rate you, but I think this already worse hits me.
1:25:27
Speaker 1: Okay, thanks for the summer series. It helped me get
1:25:32
Speaker 1: through some hot evening walks. Good to see scopes in Charleston.
1:25:37
Speaker 1: I gave him some taffy that I brought in San Diego.
1:25:41
Speaker 1: I told him to make sure that the other two
1:25:43
Speaker 1: at least get one piece.
1:25:45
Speaker 3: Excuse me, I don't think we did.
1:25:47
Speaker 2: Brad Well, I did, thank you. I gave out money
1:25:50
Speaker 2: only four. He ate the whole darn thing except for
1:25:53
Speaker 2: four pieces. Now I will I was not told Hoppy
1:25:56
Speaker 2: was supposed to get some. I did not know that.
1:25:58
Speaker 2: You said I saved some. I was told to give some. So,
1:26:00
Speaker 2: by the way, I'm sorry, I did not know you're
1:26:02
Speaker 2: supposed to get something. I might not have cared that
1:26:04
Speaker 2: you were supposed to. I took four down hers probably
1:26:06
Speaker 2: on vacation.
1:26:07
Speaker 1: You were you were and I and I would say this,
1:26:11
Speaker 1: I did not eat it all myself, because I was
1:26:14
Speaker 1: cleaning out my truck.
1:26:16
Speaker 2: I was.
1:26:16
Speaker 1: I was cleaning up my truck, and then the inside
1:26:20
Speaker 1: door little plastic thing where you can put stuff.
1:26:23
Speaker 2: I noticed there were nine nine rappers from that taffy.
1:26:27
Speaker 3: What are you saying?
1:26:29
Speaker 1: I went inside and says, hey, Joan, you ate nine
1:26:31
Speaker 1: pieces of that? She said, it was a long trip
1:26:34
Speaker 1: that was really good. Anyway. He was there in San
1:26:37
Speaker 1: Diego for a conference and we had a party at
1:26:40
Speaker 1: Balboa Park. An original three guy shirt made an appearance.
1:26:44
Speaker 1: It caught a few glasses glances. Maybe it'll be the
1:26:48
Speaker 1: keyword for next year's conference. There's old Jenny's work in
1:26:51
Speaker 1: the efforting shirt. Good work, all right, last one.
1:26:56
Speaker 3: We'll pick the.
1:26:56
Speaker 1: Rest of these up when we come back later this week.
1:27:00
Speaker 1: I wanted to share my first ever West Virginia connection
1:27:03
Speaker 1: story since moving to Houston. Me and the wife experienced
1:27:07
Speaker 1: our first hurricane barrel in July. We had some minor
1:27:12
Speaker 1: water damage and finally got a guy out here to
1:27:14
Speaker 1: do some moisture readings and checking for leaks. We got
1:27:19
Speaker 1: to talking about me being new down here, and he
1:27:21
Speaker 1: asked me where I'm from. I said, of course, West Virginia.
1:27:23
Speaker 1: Guess what he says next, His grandparents.
1:27:26
Speaker 2: Live in Morgantown.
1:27:28
Speaker 1: All the people in the side of the country, that's
1:27:32
Speaker 1: where his family is front from. Give me a break.
1:27:36
Speaker 3: Yep, boom, it's saw.
1:27:38
Speaker 2: I never fails.
1:27:40
Speaker 3: You know, our population is about one point seven to
1:27:43
Speaker 3: seven million, but I think that globally there's about a billion.
1:27:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was Virginia six point nine trillion.
1:27:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm libal it is, Why is it?
1:27:53
Speaker 3: I don't know anyone never that, Like, hey, are you
1:27:55
Speaker 3: from Illinois too? I mean you don't get that.
1:27:58
Speaker 1: People don't say that. No, I'm a Westvirginia. But a
1:28:00
Speaker 1: quick moving, fast rising second place is Iowa.
1:28:05
Speaker 3: Ioway does that?
1:28:06
Speaker 4: No?
1:28:07
Speaker 1: I mean him with these Iowa connections. Yes, you brought
1:28:11
Speaker 1: the reason here and it like opened up Pandora's box
1:28:14
Speaker 1: of all this Iowa stuff. They're all over the place.
1:28:16
Speaker 2: The company did the lighting at the stadium Iowa muscle lighting,
1:28:20
Speaker 2: of course.
1:28:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, just it's just on and on, it goes.
1:28:25
Speaker 2: All right, music sister state. Yeah, but it's nowhere close
1:28:28
Speaker 2: to the West Virginia because.
1:28:30
Speaker 3: You know, you don't even know you live there, and
1:28:32
Speaker 3: you don't even know any of the counties.
1:28:33
Speaker 2: Correct, No, well you probably three, and right now I
1:28:38
Speaker 2: know about maybe one.
1:28:40
