• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Had about right. That is just I know we talk
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: about like we talk about the game, and something hit
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: me this week. I thought, this is still weird.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Not surprised that it hit you, because I think you
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: could probably make an incredibly strong argument that as we
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: record this on the twenty ninth day of October twenty
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: twenty five, college football has never been as crazy, bizarre, scattered,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: than it is right now. We started firing coaches. We
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: started talking about firing coaches in September. We started firing
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: coaches before the month of October could even get through.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: We're talking about tens of millions of dollars, hundreds, hundreds
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: of millions of dollars we're talking about on the other
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: side of it, you just get away from football. We're
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: talking about bringing professional G League players in for college basketball.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: We're talking about these just mind numbing. Like Hoppy just said,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: last three league games right, Houston, Arizona State, Colorado, Colorado. Now,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: it was it's so crazy. It's so crazy that we
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: accept the Texas Tech game like Texas.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: I was just going to say, that's crazy about what
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: he just said. As you go, Yeah, Texas Tech a
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: long time rival.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: That one feels right like the other three. What are
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: you doing playing Colorado Texas Tech? Yeah, course're playing Tech.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Why when you play Texas Tech? That seems totally normal.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: There's the other thing.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Not only are there hundreds of millions dollars going out
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: to people to not come into the office one two.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Not only are multiple coaches fire they hired a coach today,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Kent fired its coach and hired a coach. Now he's
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: the interim and he was on staff, but they would
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: have just made a hire. So we're not even to Halloween,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: and we fired and hired, done the whole search, hired.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: A guy, and I didn't even bring up it's not
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: even Halloween, Kerchible, and I didn't even bring up the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Wednesday press conference down there in Louisiana. Oh that's beautiful
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the governor. Honest to goodness, what was that? Was that unusual?
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Just to goodness? When I watched it the first time
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: on the social media's, I thought it was an AI
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: fake out job. I'm going like, there's no way he's
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: got So they started to look closer is He's like,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: how good do they do the lips sync? Did they
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: have the lip synk? And then I see Ross Dellinger

• 4:25
  Speaker 4: I loved it because Brad I was talking in our
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: meeting before the broadcast here today, is that when it's
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: not us.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Chaos well again, because no one's helping you when you're
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: in chaos.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: No, no one's calling and sees everything. Okay, you do, guys.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Everybody else is snickering and giggling. So go ahead, everybody,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: you figure it out.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna stay.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna stay.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Penn State's up there spinning in circles right now because
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: I thought, didn't weren't we told Matt.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Rule was the lot Rule was a lot had to
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: be Matt.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: I was first reported by a hundred outlets that it's
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: going to be Matt Role and that rule, and I'm
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: at Rule. He sign an extension to day at Nebraska.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: By the way, Matt, how many coaches, including Matt Rule,
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: should should give a donation to Penn State?
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Yes, right, yes, just forgetting for helping with the race.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: It's a it's a wild time. There's there's nothing like
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: the drama of college sports in general, but college football
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: in particular. But then we say it all the time
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: because because we're all nuts too. Guess guess what happens
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: in forty eight? Get right back to the games. Let's
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: go here, we go play the games. Well, as soon
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: as the beginning of this game. I'm giddy to talk.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: West Virginia is struggling it's offenses up back, and I
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: can't wait to talk about the game.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Hop it's the games exactly through Thursday. Sunday through Thursday
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: is an off the field soap opera. Yes, every week,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and then we'll stop the soap opera on Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: we just do the game, and then Sunday we started again.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: You start with the firings on Sunday and then it
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: goes from there.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I would like to have a blood pressure cuff on
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the people in the Athletic department at LSU that are
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: going to make this decision. When the governor crapped all
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: over Jimmy, he's Sexton. When he crapped all over Jimmy.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Sexton, for those that don't know, is the agent
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: of all agents. He is the agent of the absolute
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: elite level of coaches. And so he ripped his ad
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: for cutting the deal with Jimbo Fisher at Texas A
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and M. Then he came to LSU and did a
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: large deal with Brian Kelly, but he really didn't it
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: was the previous LSU A d He kind of got
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: that a little bit confused. Nevertheless, so he craps all
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: over Jimmy Sexton questions his ethics for being able to
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: represent all these coaches and these athletic tracks. Now, how
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: do you think Jimmy's going to be How do you
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: think Jimmy's going to handle this new LSU search? What
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: do you think is going to happen there? Well?
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: I think he also got the agents confused. He does
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: trace Armstrong as one sex and the other.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: So be it? Well, but I don't know, I don't care.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: It's LSU figured it out. So you enjoy watching out?
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't say I enjoy it. It's people's livelihoods online,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: so I wouldn't say I enjoy it. But it's not here.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: So whatever, man, I mean, whatever, whatever goes on goes on.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: You guys figured it out. Was it kind of like
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: a car fire when you just have to go buy? Yeah? Slowly,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you just kind of like rubber neck a little say
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: what you doing up there?
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: Having covered politics for years? Did you really? Yeah? Well,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: it was a show I had. You probably won't familiar
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: with us on once or twice a week, but that
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: typically politicians will temper their remarks like they'll couch it
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: a little bit. They'll say, like, we're very concerned about
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: the situation LSU, and we certainly hope they make a
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: good decision and we have confidence in He just says
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: the A D will not make the decision. You know
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: what I mean that there's the SoundBite. It's just was
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: so definitive, right it was. It was classic and it
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: reminded me this is a generalization and probably not fair,
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: just like the South.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: You know the sec Here we go, it's on and
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: then back. Now, God, that's guy what who I got down?
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: The kid the bought the government got named that new coat. Yeah,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: we'll get a good coat. It's unbelievable. Well, those circuses
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: aren't aren't done. Far from don they're coming the far
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: more done. There's more, there's more, and each one of
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: those higher.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, now, what are there of power four? Twelve eleven?
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Not in power four And we're not breaking the ground here.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: There is no way they're all going to hire people.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Fan bases are happy with, Like you wonder why the
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: circus continues. The expectations are what they're that there's not
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: enough people out there to hire that are going that
• 8:17

• 10:00
  Speaker 1: all right. Uh, if you were with us on our
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: last episode you heard the new song, might as well
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: just do it again. Time for hoppies. Obvious observation.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: He's got thoughts that sound rand new, but the things
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: we already knew.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: He got his bomb ready Heaven knows.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Let's take it quick before yeah, obvious.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Ovation.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: Nice. I think we will have to have a song now.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I want to meet that guy he's saying that he's
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: a hellow a job on that.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: It's probably a computer.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Though, isn't it. Just let it go?
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Okay, So, guys, Ray you like to talk about it's
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: a week to week business, which it is, So you
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: wonder can West Virginia build on this? They showed you
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: some things against TCU, especially well on both sides of
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: the ball. Can they can they continue that? Can they
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: build on that? Can they do even better offense, particularly
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: running the football and on third down? So can they
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: build on that success this week on the road against
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: a good opponent. That's first thing, and that's.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: A great start. So that's the number one question I think. Okay,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: go aheads first, nice job and you'll get into the stats.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: But Houston is a solid seven to one. The only
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: loss was Texas Tech, but I'll get to that too
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: in a second. But a good defensive team, fundamentally solid.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Their quarterback Connor Wegman.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: You know, his numbers might not wow you, Tony, but
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: last game he had two touchdown passes and win over
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: Arizona State ran for one hundred eleven yards to go.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: Dual threat quarterback doesn't make mistakes, So you got to
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: deal with that fundamentally sound team. And I think this
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: is the biggest thing about Houston is that they're just
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: you look at the stats and big twelve and and
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: nothing in particular stands out except maybe not turning the
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: ball over. But they're just not They're just fundamentally solid.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: You don't find a lot of weaknesses. And Brad, I'll
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: be interested in what you come up with. When I
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: look at at game, when I look at an opponent,
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: I usually find something that I go down a rabbit
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: hole and it interests me. And for me for this game,
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: it's Willie Fritz. You know Willie Fritz. And when when
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: they hired him two years ago, I think all of
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: us said.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Uh, oh, I wish they wouldn't have done that. Yeah,
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: that's that's that's trouble.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So and Fritz has this. He's been a head
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: coach since nineteen ninety three. He's coached at the junior
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: college level, small college coach An Blenn and everywhere he's
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: been Blen he is he has had success. And that
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: second year has been huge. At Blynn Junior College, he
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: went from six three and one to nine and two.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: At Central Missouri, went from five and six to eight
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: and three at sam Houston State, went from six and
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: five to fourteen and one. At Georgia's Southern he was
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: there just two years, but was nine and three and
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: eight and four. Tulane took him a little longer.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Lane two lane, but.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: After a subpar a couple of subpar seasons, he was
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: seven and six, won the Cure Bowl. His final two
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: seasons at Tulane twelve and two, won the Cotton Bowl,
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: and eleven and two. First year at Houston four and eight.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: So far this season he's seven to one. So obviously
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: he knows what he's doing. Obviously he can coach. The
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: record shows that he can coach, and that's that's a
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: concern in this game. And this this I love that
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: he has developed five keys to success over his years
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: of coaching. Now this is this is I want to
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: set this up because this is going to break new ground. No,
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: no one, no coaching. There's a lot of brilliant coaches
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: out there to do amazing things. Yeah, here's what he
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: came up with.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: This is first this is first first fruit.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: First fruit, Brad, don't turn the ball over. Control the
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: running game, have solid special teams. Don't beat yourself with
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: penalties and mistakes. Now that I know that that's earth
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: shattering stuff. I'm trying to be funny, but you know what.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: It works.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: Okay, it works. You do those things, and nine out
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: of ten times, eight out of ten times, the other
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: team will screw it up.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, stop for a second. Okay, let's let's give me
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: those one through five again, and let's put West Virginia
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: as the team and we'll see where things are going awry.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Don't turn the ball over. Yeah uh, put emphasis on
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: controlling the running game. Have a good running game.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Haven't been able to do game.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: Have solid special teams just to average. Don't beat yourself
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: with penalties and mistakes.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Their penalties have been significantly down with mistakes.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: Allowing and Brad, I know, get to this turnover numbers.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: So I always think if we were talking about Louisiana,
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: so I think Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry ought to make
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: a phone call and say, listen, it's a short drive
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: over steal there.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Now it's Willie Fritz. Probably too smart for that.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Probably too smart, Probably too smart. He's sixty five years old,
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: so maybe that maybe that would be an issue.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Butt a family in Houston, he says, so, But think
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: about this for a second.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: I know when when these stories are talked about guys,
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: it's a about the biggest jobs and everything. And the
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: draw of the biggest job is there's all this money
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: and either you win a national championship or he get
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: fired and pay fifty million dollars for not working. So
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: there's a lot to attract you to a big job.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: But if you're Willie Fritz and you're at Houston where
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: players are falling off trees, where if you lose a game,
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: they're not after with pitchforks, where he's making four and
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: a half million, you'll probably get a raise and go
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: to six million or whatever. That's a pretty good job.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: That's a pretty good job for a guy at the
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: at the tail end of his career.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Agreed.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: So those are my So he might I don't know
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: him from Adam, so I don't know if he's interested
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: in the big job. But he's got a pretty good
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: job if he wants to stay. But I would think
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: others would be looking at him because of his track
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: record of success.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: But quite frankly, shouldn't somebody have called him before. It
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: should have Hulane, and then Houston shouldn't a bigger job
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: than those have been on him before. Yes, I do
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: think it's interesting because we talked about this more on
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: the basketball side, there's been a shift, and I wonder
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: if and when it comes to the football side. To
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: your point there about always having to hire the name.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: In basketball, we've seen because the recruiting ties to regions
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: and high schools aren't what they once were because you're
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: going to go buy most of your roster that Now
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: it's shifted back to well, who can X and O,
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: who's a good coach, who can run a program, who
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: knows how to be a head coach? And basketball we've
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: seen some guys have chances taken on them right, smaller
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: schools getting opportunities. I wonder when that happens football wise,
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: because it'll happen. I just wonder when that will be.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Now it's a but much bigger machine and it's a
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: bigger program to manage, and that's probably the biggest difference.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Basketball is still kind of basketball, whether you have five
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: assistants or two assistants, it's still kind of the same,
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: so it's easier in that realm. But I just wonder
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: when it gets back to we're going to find a
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: guy that can really coach here instead of just a
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: name and keep throwing stuff against the wall that's not working.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Nouns are all good points. Those are all good points, Hobby's
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: that conclude your segment.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: That does and I'm in the kind of in New
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Willy Fitz fan Club.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: No, it's good, No, really good. And I think he
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: and Lance Lightphold are two guys that have been doing
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: it a long time. They know and they might just
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: go like, no, I'm pretty good right here. I am.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna ride this. I'm gonna ride this horsey out there, because,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: as you said, if Houston just gets the players that
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: leave Houston and come want to come back home, it's
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: a big edge. It's you're doing really, really well, ladies
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: and gentlemen. That has been hobbies obvious observation.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: Well, that was something.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Obvious thoughts from Hobby's point of view.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Segment has been brought to us by list Sticks the
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: lipt Bomb in the Blue Canon and so smooth talk.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: That's the play. Thank you.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Very much. Yeah, you increase, uh lip bomb when the
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: seasons change, like, well you right, yeah, it goes up
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: now November December heavy. What do you think the heaviest
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: month is for your lip bomb usage?
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Just the winter months?
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Just win a much in January stronger than February or
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: how's the tail off? I don't know.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: It depends. I try to stay hydrated, which helps, but
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: winter months, winter months.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, three guys before the game brought to us in

• 18:17
  Speaker 1: They're huge. What they're trying to do is they're trying
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: to knock Big Water off of the pedestal that it
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: stands on, because Big Water has been controlling this market
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: with those heavy plastic bottles that people have been lugging
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: into their business place. You don't need it. All you
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: need is one of the Komac's business systems. I twelve

  Speaker 1: You plug that baby in. It's got cold, it's got hot,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: it's got ice. How nice visit Comax Business Systems. They
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: got that piece of gear.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: We have to connect the water to it. I mean
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: it doesn't just.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Know, but yeah, I mean that's a one time thing.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: That's a one off. It's not like you have to
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: pick up that big bottle, flip it over, make sure
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: you don't spill it. And where's the other one coming on?
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Just who needs it? Comas
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Business Systems I twelve water cooler plus they got every
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: single piece of business equipment you could possibly possibly need.
• 19:08

• 19:11
  Speaker 1: this thing down. Brad's gonna break this thing down. Is
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: he finally going to give us something get excited about?
• 19:18

  Speaker 1: Will you think he will?
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: I think he will.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Well, heck, let's do this thing then. Spreads on Stats
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: brought to us by Common.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: I'll just go right to the numbers.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Let's jump into the analytics worship of the show ready.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Spreads on Stats brought to us by the Conley CPA group.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: They provide value way beyond the numbers. Think about what
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: we're saying now when we say they're going to provide
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: value beyond numbers, like regular accounting firm just numbers numbers, numbers, numbers.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: These people are business consultants with you. They walk you
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: down the road and put you the best situations, put
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: you in the best situations. I had to make a
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: call at Conley's CPA recently.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: Excuse me, Yeah, what happened.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, family friend. Family friend is situation works for a
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: company out of this state, and they were trying to
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: figure out a way to lessen their tax liability on
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: excise taxes because they sell product nationwide and they're doing
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: it online and then the state they're operating in doesn't
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: have sales tax, so it became an excise tax question.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I called my guy Mike. Mike, just handle it. I said, Mike,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: you familiar with this. He goes, yeah, he goes. I said, okay,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna put you two together. You guys run over
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: there and talk excise. So that's kind of stuff that
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: they do. So if you think you're proll.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: It wasn't like outsourced CFO. It was excise tax issue.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: They can outsource your CFO. They can also outsource your accounting.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: They can do all that kind of stuff, but they
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: also guide and work with you on that kind of stuff. Helpful,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: very helpful. Good guys, good people. I shouldn't say guys.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: There's girls over there too, Sam, She's wonderful, She's terrific,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: So check it out. Conley CPA group. All right, what
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: do you have all let's dive in no glasses today.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I'll forget them.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: So it might be a problem. These numbers might be
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: totally wrong. Can't see what I'm doing. I thought you
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: might bring up situation here. Do you think you have
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: a situational advantage? But let's let's meander through this. And
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: by the way, this is full participation here because I've
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: got a lot of numbers, so you might need to
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: jump in with questions, can break up.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: The straight numbers.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: At first, I thought you might be in a situational
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: advantage off their biggest win under Fritz right on the
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: road at Arizona State. That was a massive program win.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: You mentioned they're seven and one. They have legitimate Big
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: twelve title hopes. At this point you look at the
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: rest of their schedule, it's not inconceivable they could be
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: eleven and one, so.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Certainly a little tight down there.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, you're in there.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Can you get a tight Houston team out of this?
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: Maybe early kickoff, right, and just the fact that you're
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: seven to one, are you do for some regression? I mean,
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: is this then eleve in one team? So at first
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: sixth straight game, they're playing for the sixth straight week,
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: and there's some things you.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Like well else time out who will replaying UCF was
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: in their.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: Fifth game in a Rowe gonna keep riding it, all right,
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: it is. It is a tough week down at Houston, though.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: You talk about that roller coaster from the win over
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: Arizona State, like the high of the Highs to the
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: passing this week of their longtime strength coach Kurt Hester,
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: which has been a which is just a tragedy down there,
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: battled cancer for a long time, so that that team's
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: going to be really emotional this week. So I don't
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: know that there's a situational advantage to it, but it's
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: one that maybe you have some situational advantages, maybe not
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: a total, but keep an eye on that. Okay, keep
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: an eye on that. All right, let's dive into some
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: hard numbers. I'm gonna go back to the the EPA
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: side of things, where Houston's defense you mentioned it has
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: been really good going against a West Virginia offense that's
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: still struggling this area one twenty ninth nationally. West Virginia's
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: offense in EPA or play Houston's defense number thirty two.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: So here's here's what I want you to watch.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna read this and then we're gonna come back
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: to this here in just a minute. West Virginia's offense
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: has really struggled to generate any kind of positive EPA
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: all season, but especially in the passing game, right, especially
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: in the passing game one twenty ninth overall in EPA
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: per pass as well. Houston's defense top thirty in both
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: EPA per pass and EPA per rush prevention, Meaning West
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Virginia is facing just off that number. One of the
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: worst stylistics matchups.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: It could okay, okay, but I don't know.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: Is there a COMMA button.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: I had some questions on that. We'll come back.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: Question is opponent adjusted, we'll come back.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Just remember that we'll come back to that particular number.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Early down efficiency is going to be important in staying
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: on top of schedule. Again, West Virginia's offense is struggled
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: in this area, which is set up the third and lungs,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: but Houston's defense has been very good twenty seventh nationally
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: in early down EPA. So can West Virginia break through
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: that set up some third and manageables which it did
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: against TCU. Now couldn't convert the third downs at a
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: rate high enough it needed to or fourth downs, but
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: it was better in early downs. Then you move on
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: to that third and fourth down conversion efficiency. West Virginia's
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: offense is dead last in this category third and fourth
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: down conversion, so that's been a problem. That number was
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: pushed further by the struggles last week on those end
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: of drive downs. Houston's defense is forty ninth in this category,
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: so pretty good, pretty solid. Again, can you win third down?
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: And if you can't win third down and you're going
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: four on fourth, can you win some fourth downs? What's
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: that field position and drive starts. I'm also going to
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: come back with it, just a straight number on this
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: here in just a second huge advantage for Houston when
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: it comes to starting field position between the two offenses.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: This is one of the better teams in the country.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: Is Houston Again, I'll come back to this, but here's
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: what this means. Thought this was interesting. On average, Houston's
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: drives start seven yards closer to the end zone than
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: West Virginia's drives do. Over twelve possessions in a game,
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: regular number of possessions in a game. That creates an
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: extra one scoring drive per game when it comes to
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: expected points. So right out of the gate, if those
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: things play to their numbers, they have an inherent built
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: in advantage just from an expected points And that's just
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: one category, but that's a pretty big advantage right there.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: Here's the field position number itself. That seven yard advantage
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: could be massive. It's not the ten we always talk about.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: But if West Virginia can't find a way to flip that,
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: you've got to get better field position. Because you're not
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: creating explosives and you're not showing the ability to march
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: down the field offensively and defensively, you continue to put
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: your team in tough spots as you did against Pitt,
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: as you did against TCU. So just watch that, because
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: that's an inherent disadvantage for West Virginia right now. All right, now,
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: let's flip back over here to this those passing numbers
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: for a second. We no hold that I'm gonna go
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: to Houston's offense for a second. Did you know they
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: have the worst pass blocking grade in the Big twelve
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: per PFF First you've heard of those. So what do
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: we say every week about West Virginia's defense. What's a
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: critical component of the defense having success? What's pressure on
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: the quarter to get pressure? In the games West Virginia
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: has played better, it has gotten what pressure on the quarterback?
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Can you get some pressure on Wagman? Can you get
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: after him? He struggled to throw the ball beyond ten
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: yards or further down the field forty nine percent completion
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: percentage on throws from ten to nineteen yards, thirty nine
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: percent on passes of twenty or more, although remember your
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: your percentage is going to be lower those on those
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: long passes. But he has thrown eight of his ten
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: touchdown passes in those zones in that area of the
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: ten to nineteen So can you get after him? And
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: can you force some incomplete throws getting you off the
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: field leading to no points on their drive? Can you
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: force them to throw it and then get after Wegman?
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: So if you're looking for avenues to a victory, I
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: would say that's way up the charts. Take a quarterback
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: that has been inaccurate on some throws underneath, get after
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: and pressure wise and get off the field if you
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: can control early downs. Houston struggled to run it. Now
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: you mentioned Wegman's numbers. He was very good against Arizona
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: State running it out of the quarterback. But they've struggled
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: overall doing this. So this is probably not a surprise.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: But listen to these numbers.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Wegman has ten touchdown passes in one interception.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: We need no play action. We just dropped back to throw.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: But Hoppy, what do we like to do with the
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: raw numbers when you get the ten touchdowns? Well, what
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: do we like to do with the raw numbers on
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: this program? Or do we like to peel them.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: Back and maybe go a lay underneath that? Yeah?
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: Huh so we like to get into maybe what's underlying there,
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: which we did last week on Hoover Guys called for
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: an interception. It was right there in the defensive back's hands,
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: chest bounced off. We should have had the numbers told
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: us there was going to be a pick last week.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: There really should have been.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: Oh, here we go.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: This week. I'll give you this Wigman.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: Seven big time throws, seven turnover worthy place off that
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: no play action. Ten and one is the raw number.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Seven and seven is the big time play turnover worthy.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: So you've got a pick.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Or two coming.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: Well, it hasn't happened yet. Was he throwing one exception?
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Yep?
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: So, but remember turnover worthy place can be other things.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: If you get a little pressure. He has fumbled six
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: times on the year. Can you get a turnover to
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: need a scoop and score and you need to cheat
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: a touchdown?
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: Okay? Sure?
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Or turnover all right, let's go back to that first
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: counterpoint about the really good Houston defensive numbers. Maybe we
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: can slide in there and find some cracks. Hoppy second
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: best run second best defensive grade in the Big twelve
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: right now, so they're playing really well. Fourth best coverage
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: grade in the Big twelve, really good, but twelfth pass
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: rush grade in the Big twelve. We saw West Virginia
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: have success doing what last week for the football That
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: offensive line did better in pass protection than it did
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: run protection.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Say, Sky's gonna get a little times what you're.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Saying, can you throw it a little bit? If those
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: numbers hold, can you get a little time to throw?
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: And if you give Fox time to throw, that's probably
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: a pretty good sign. Here's another counterpoint or a little hope.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Statistically to that really good Houston defense. Their EPA numbers
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: are outstanding, as I just gave you expected points at it,
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: but success rate, which is each play is it successful
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: or not based on the down and distance. They're just
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: ninety second nationally against the rush, and they're forty eighth
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: nationally against the pass, so still good, but not as
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: high as those EPA numbers coupled with the lack of
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: a pass rush so far, Can West Virginia throw it again?
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: I mean that's a lot of numbers to get to
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: the point. Can you throw it again and move the
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: ball as you did against TCU after the first three drives?
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: So when you get under the numbers like you tend
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: to do, not wowed by the seven and one and
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: what some of the general statistics say, you're seeing opportunities,
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: you're building a case. Well, you're building a case, all right.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: And also that's I mean, that's what I'm trying to
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: do as well. Right, I'm trying to go into that saying,
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: all right, West Virginia's really struggling.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: Houston's playing grade at seven and one, but there, there
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: should be some regression both ways, right there. Should Houston
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: should give you a game or two back, West Virginia
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: should win one. I know, I know all the issues.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: I get it.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: But if you look, if you want to look at
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: at the strength of schedule, you can Westvigini's played the
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: eighteen strength schedule.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Their schedule has not been as dice SegReg ratings.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Houston's down Like in the eighty if you had Stephen F. Austin, Rice, Colorado,
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Oregon State, a really good Texas Tech team, Oklahoma State, Arizona,
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Arizona State, which was a big win for him. Maybe
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: I know they're having a great year, but if you're
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: trying to build a case, it's maybe that pressure Wegman
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: force a couple turnovers. Then on the offensive side, maybe
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: you found something last week so that when you look
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: at those straight numbers and see West Virginia struggling against
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: the pass and a great pass defense, well that's a
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: little bit different. Because West Virginia's pass offense, I think
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: this week should be better than it's been at any
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: week throughout the season. Right A lot of those bad
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: pass numbers were built up against quarterbacks that didn't throw
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: it real well. Quite frankly, I think you got a
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: quarterback now that throws it pretty well and an offensive
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: line that can protect maybe a little better than you
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: did earlier in the season. So maybe I get what
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: the records say. Hop I'm just trying to look at
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: something and say, if you want to build a case
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: through there, maybe some situational things, maybe some on field things.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Can you get those turnovers and cash in maybe?
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it's there and you did as well
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: as you possibly could without your glasses absolutely pretty solid.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: Off of that, I think that what Brett did was
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: a summary of what the West Virginia coaches worked on
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: this week, those things.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Like a defense attorney. He kind of just opened up
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: some things that, hey, consider this. I just opened up
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: the possibility that there is more than a reasonable chance.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because listen, given the struggles, you can't come on
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: here and say here's definitively what's going to happen, right,
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: But there are some things there that you look at
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: if you go in and do your job. But I
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: think the best point made was your very first point
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: of the obvious observations. Can West Virginia now stack another
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: performance while on the road that resembles last week, but
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: it's just a tick better and gets you over the hump. Yeah,
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: and that's a major question mark. I get it, but
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: that's there's your questions. One last thing, let's talk about
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: what the numbers have done betting line wise. So Houston
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: sits as a thirteen and a half point favorite on
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: DK DraftKings and FanDuel. That's come down just a little bit.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: If you're interested in all time, or I'll give you season,
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: then all time Houston's. This is a fourth time they've
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: been a double digit favorite this season. They're three and
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: zero straight up, two and one against the spread in
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: the previous three. They're twenty five and five all time
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: over the last thirty games straight up in this situation
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: when they're a twelve point favored or more, but just
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: eleven and nineteen against the number. Okay, so if that
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: part of history holds, keep it close, maybe you steal
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: it at the end. West Virginia a double digit dog
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: for the fifth time this season, zero and four straight up,
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: but two and two against the number, including in two
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: of your last three games. West Virginia six and twenty
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: four over its last thirty straight up as a twelve
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: point or more dog seventeen and thirteen against the spread
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: in the last thirty.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: It just point of reference. And this to me, I mean,
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: every game is its own unique story. But Tony, if
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: you go into that game and again I don't want
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: to go moral victory, but even if you play as
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: well as you did last week or better, you can go, Okay,
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: well they're improving or they didn't cash it in. But
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: if you go in and get whacked, then last week
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: will look like an aberration. So there's significance to this
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: game and how this team is perceived.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, can the defense do what it did again last
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: week and look pretty good and disruptive? And if you can,
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: maybe you can really disrupt a Houston offense that has
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: struggled at times this season. And then I'm just anxious
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: to see Fox get back out there again as a
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: true we know what freshmen do, right, it's hard to
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: be consistent as a frosh. Can he go put together
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: another second really good game through the air, protect him,
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: throw it, Cam Vaughan and others step up?
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Can you move the ball offensively?
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: And Tony in that Arizona State game though they had
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: like twenty six nothing right before Arizona.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: State got some weight touchdowns in Arizona State. Just just
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: puke the ball up all over the place. I'm wondering
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: if we can have one aberration before the season's over
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: with the Mountaineer running game. Actually, like actually play four
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: quarters where you run the ball, because that would be
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: that would be so fun to watch. If you were
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: able to run the ball, then you start to make
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: this offense do what it's supposed to do. But until
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: that happens, there's going to be more long days. Speaking
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: of the game on Saturday, did you take a look
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: at the Big twelve injury report of Thursday?
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: Oh, I haven't yet. Let me look at that.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: So your outs are the names that you already know.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: They are officially listing Jalen Henderson as out, but doubtful.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: This is a new name. Kemo mcconnie Ole, who's the
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: starting right side guard, has become doubtful. We see a
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: little josh Isosa in there. Yeah, so that has not
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: been That's not a good one. Questionable. Preston Fox Malik Agbo.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Agbo's got a high ankle.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and he was starting to play right. We've talked
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: a lot about Agbow. He was starting to get more
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: reps started last week. You were hoping, or at least
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: I was hoping to see him a little more in
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: these last couple weeks. What's what do they have him
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: listed as questionable?
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and probable Justin Smith Brown and Khalil Wilkins as probable.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: We'll see on that. And then the Houston side, there's
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: nothing there really. Stacy Sneed's a second string running back,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: but he's been out for a couple they and now
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: they listed him a questionable, so he could be coming back.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: But in that while compare the you wonder why you're
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: seven in one one? Yeah, look at compare injury reports
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: for a team playing in its six game versus a
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: West Virginia team that's only a couple weeks off of
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: buy and the injuries continue to stack.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, right, and who's injured?
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: So you know, if you just for West Virginia, if
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: you just take a look at the injury report and
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: you add up out doubtful and questionable and probable, Houston
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: has five, West Virginia has thirteen. Eh, not a good recipe.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: Think about this too, guys, and we've mentioned it from
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: the skill positions, but you're on QB five or four,
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: whatever the heck it is, and running back whatever that
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: is four or five as well. If if Haslam Agbos
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: start again and I know he just showed up on
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: the report, and then you put Isosa in in place
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: of Chemo, that would be three sixty percent of your
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: starting offensive line from the beginning of the season has
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: changed out as well.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Yep, Mountaineers playing in the state of Texas. Guess what
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Jan Dill's Attorneys at Law they've got clients in Texas.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Why well, because that's one of the fifty states. They've
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: got clients in all fifty states. They specialize in military
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: benefits and social security claims. If you or someone that
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: you know needs help in that area, and it can
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: become a very tangled, bureaucratic, difficult process when you file
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: claims for military benefits and social security claims, by all means,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: contact Jen Dill's Attorneys at Law. That phone call won't
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: cost you a single penny. You don't even have to
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: worry about how many minutes it's going to use on
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: your monthly mobile phone account. Remember those days. I'm not
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: of minutes, man, Like I got I make anout. Just

  Speaker 1: penny unless they collect money for you because a Jan
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Dill's attorneys at law. That's Jan Dill's attorneys at.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: Law Tony Speaking of running backs, we're going to see
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: big Curtis Jones back there.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: No that I kind of no, no, no, no, he's
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: repping them. He's going to wrap them. But like I
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: always giggle, I always thought that story exploded. Yeah, it
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: just like I knew that about a couple three weeks ago,
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: and like Rich like mentioned it in passing. This week
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: someone brought it up and it just mushrooms. It's like
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: all these people like writing a Cross Church Chuge high
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: school running back seventeen.
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: Now you got like.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: No, probably not, probably not. He's had a really good
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: year on defense and I'll say this and he'll be
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: he'll start. But what he's looking for he doesn't have
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: a physical big back and he's a big dude. Yeah,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: and so you've got Jack Lich there, but maybe i'd
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: be do it.
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: Here's why, it's just Tony, you do it. You hate
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: these things. Here's why it's a story. You're more than
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: halfway through the season. You're struggling, you're not winning, you
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: can't run the ball, you're a sports rider. You're looking
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: for a hook. Somebody mentions that, I go I'd go
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: with that all day. Are we going to see Curtis
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: Jones in the lineup? But what were you doing in
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: fourth and two? Bring in Jones? And and when he does,
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: if he does, you will love it. You as an announcer,
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: you will love it.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: I don't disagree, but I get bummed out when running.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: I get bummed out when I look back at other players.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: You know this season that we spent so much time
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: talking about right, so much time talking about oh so
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: and so, so and so. If he gets eligible, if
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: he gets eligible, you know you got you got. That's
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: what you got. Was that was just an absolute waste
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: of breath. So, like when someone goes like Curtis Jones,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Curtis Shoon's like, I love Curtis Jones, He's gonna be
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: a really good player here, but like, don't think he
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: becomes the featured back. I don't see that.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: Well, that's not what he said, what did he say? Right?
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: What did he say?
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: I put him in a short yardage because they're having
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: trouble at short.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Yardage get four touchdowns being the last on Monday, Curtis.
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: Jones the ball all right. West Virginia University scored a
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: major upset Saturday as Curtis Jones ran for three touchdowns
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: and thirty eight yards.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: He does, Hey, I'm all good with it. I'm just saying, like,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: I know what you mean. It became the de facto
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: storyline of the week. I know what you're saying. I
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: still hope he does.
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: Rodriguez said, quote, We've been talking about this much of
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: the year and decided we needed some helping the running games.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: And there's a lot of them.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of worse ideas out there than putting
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: a guy at his size behind the line that just
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: struggled last week to get six inches. So if he
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: if he can manage it. I mean, you're not asking
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: for a toss sweep in four plays. Just hand the
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: ball and get up in there.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: Dude, you're preaching to the choir. I understand, I get it.
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: I hope he scores.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Three guys before the game is brought to us by tutors.
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: Big you will, you will, you will make such a
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: big deal out of it.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: If it had start, I'd start using the.
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: Given Big twelve offensive player of the week honors. If
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: he punches it in, say it right on the air.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: Curd of Jogic playing both ways should be offensive and
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: defensive player of the Year of the week. I like
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: them like four tackles, past deflection and rushes for a touchdown.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: I've come out of near a heisman in the damn thing.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: If that happens on Sunday. He's a very nice kid,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: great kid, very nice kid. Yeah, I uh, I would.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: I would use the mountaineer mash formation more right well
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: with him, Yeah, that'd be fine. Yeah, Like, that's a
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: lot of big boys. Get it inside the five there,
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: get it down to the two, put them under center,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: right up in there. Why why can't why can't you
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: use mountaineer mash in the middle of the field, fourth
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: down in the yard? Like, why not just bring the
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: heavies in there and go, Hey, what the hell's the difference? Okay,
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: great party season starts this weekend. Halloween parties, right, you've

  Speaker 1: Ben in Chicago rights so Tutors has catering now. I
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: am an industrial sales guy. I often bring in breakfast
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: or lunch to our clients. If one of your listeners
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: could kindly open up a Tutors in the Chicago Land area,
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: I could bring that in for a catered breakfast. It
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: would absolutely blow their minds. I would probably be able
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: to buy one of those try tunes from Lou Wendell
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: for boating next year. With all the sales I could
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: do I could win for that, So there you go.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: We should lead to Tutors in Chicaga should look into
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: a three guys franchise in Chicago.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Tutors now doing catering three guys. We, as West Virginia fans,
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: need to look at some facts. These are not advanced
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: senator powered stats by any stretch, but by the time
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: it is all said and done, it is possible that
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: West Virginia will have played ten Bowl eligible teams this season.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: Kansas and UCF couple of wins away, Arizona State, Ohio
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: one away, TCU B YU, Pitt, Houston Tech, Utah already
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: have six plus. Tough schedule for anyone, much less a
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: piece together team suffering major injuries under a first year
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: coach is always I love the show Kevin and Princeton.
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mentioned that sagger rating that Western's eighteenth in
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: schedule strength right now. Isn't that funny? How that works
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: out too? Hop you you finally get the non conference
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: where it needs to. I get the non conferences all set,
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: and then the league again, is what you thought the
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: league would be? Good league?
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: Yes it is now. I know national folks don't recognize
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: that at all.
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: They don't know it exists, no, because there's just two
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: leagues to talk about, really one and a half, because
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: half of the Big tens things too. But I know
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: they don't recognize that. But again, another good good year
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: from the from the Big twelve, solid up and down.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: May have created some controversy on the last show when
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: I brought up the potato gun, told you not to
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: do that, so Texas says potato canon. Ha ha ha,
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: that is so funny, Texter. Another texta rights three guys,
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: you can use AquaNet hair spray with that potato canon
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: you mentioned after installing the sticker from a gas grill.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Awesome fun. Don't do that anymore. Yeah, that's do you
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: want to know the rest of that time the CPA
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: Legal Services, I got several people talked about the potato gun.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: So here's the other piece of that. Jeez. So the
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: potato gun. We used to take cans, either pop cans
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: or beer cans, cut all the cut them out through
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: the tops and the bottoms off except for the last one.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: You'd leave the bottom, and that's what we would do.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: We would duct tape them all together and then you
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: put the lighter fluid in and you wave it and
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: it gets the vapor in there. You put a teeny
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: little pinhole that you can put a lighter next to,
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: and it shoots a tennis ball or potato. But there's
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: another level of that that uses PVC pipe. This is
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: a true story. There's Ano lever. So my knucklehead kids
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: when they were.
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: Little, they I wonder where they got the idea.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: They do a little research and they find out that
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: you could create an absolute disaster element with PVC pipe
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: and some other things. So they tell Joan. They say, hey, Ma,
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: we want to build this thing. So she goes like
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: she didn't know what damage it could cause. She goes, okay,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: we'll go to Low's. So they drive over to the
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: Lows and they go down on the section that's got
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: all this gear, and she's got a list put the
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: three knuckleheads put together, and so she goes, we'll need
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: uh this mut's pipe and we'll need this kind of
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: a valve. And the guy looked at her and he
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: went like that's a show. He said, what what is
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: this for? And she goes, well, they're gonna make this.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: They're gonna make this gun. Guys, I can't sell you.
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: I can't sell you this to make that. Yeah, that's
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: that stuns me that Joan was in on this.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: Well, she wasn't paying attention the kids there. She thinks
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: it's a science fair project. These guys are going in
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: they're trying to create a ballistic devices. That's what happened.
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: That was definitely your jeans bleeding over into that operation
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: from the knuckleheads.
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: Thank goodness for the stand up guy at Low's. Have
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: to flag you for National.
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: Security parent because he's and whatever, Jon's not paying attention.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: She thought the kids are getting a little smarter, a
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: little science fair, ma'am. I can't sell you those items
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: that creates a cannon anyway. Texter says, we're on our
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: way to the TCU game last Saturday. Left early. Decided
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: to stop in Clarksburg and dine place we've never been
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: for the caboose. After all, you did recommend it, and
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: I remember you talking about being in the basement where
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: the sauce was being made. Well, the food was fantastic.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: Told the server was our first time there. She hasd
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: how do we hear about this? And I said, told
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: her Tony sent me. She said she would share that
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: with the owners. You were also talking about going or
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: planning to go to a steakhouse that was supposed to
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: be the best on a recent podcast. Well, you recommended
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: a place several years ago that I think would be
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: hard to beat. Burns Steakhouse and Tampa top five for
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: me as I have to go there, I go there
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: if I'm within one hundred miles of it. Signed Steve
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: from Saint Mary's.
• 50:49
  Speaker 4: It's a good one.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: Hop you made of Burns before. Yeah, it was the
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: night before Mountaineer game. Remember they bring you down into
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: the basement. Oh yeah, and you go upstairs for the dessert.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: Almost like a cult type of a thing in there. Weird.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: It was a little weird.
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: But I saw Gary McPherson, one of our old dear friends,
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: get the bananas foster there and will the cart out
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: lit that thing on fire?
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: If gosh, great steak there. That's how you start that
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: potato gun. A little fire gets it going. Three guys.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: I love the discussion about bb guns, slingshots, and potato
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: cannons in your last episode. It reminded me of being
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: eleven years old and buying a knife with a ten
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: inch blade at the Yearly Town Carnival with absolutely no
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: adults presence supervising me just from one of your kids.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: If they had cigarettes and booze available, I think they'd
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: have sold that to me as well. Love the show JD.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: In the southern coal fields when I was things were
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: a little bit looser.
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: When I was a kid, they had candy cigarettes.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we sold them at my dead's store. Oh yeah,
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: they had two different kinds. Whyn't was just a pure
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: sugar stick and the other had the paper on it
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: way if you blow it, the smoke would come out
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: with the confectionery front trying to keep it real. Yeah,
• 51:53

• 54:31
  Speaker 1: the brain surgeons that are in the marketing department down
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: there in Charleston, South Carolina, put the dude with the
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: baseball bat on his head, spun him around, spun him around,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: spun him around, and then say okay go shoot the layup.
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: He goes, and then he runs straight into our table
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: blew our equipment up. Really yeah, I do remember that
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: pissed me off. And then I would never allow the
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: dizzy bat races.
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: Nervous, wouldn't happened, wouldn't do it because I was always
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: afraid you're going to fall into the dugout, or you'd
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: go down the steps, or you'd throw up walk into
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: the because you'd have to do it on the sideline. Yeah,
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: you'd throw up, or you'd walk out on the mound
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: you had. There's a lot of things could go wrong
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: with Yeah.
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: The kid that hit me, I came to find out later,
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: was from West Virginia. Of course he's a shocker from
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: like Charleston.
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: Now you go off. The air went out for how long, yeah.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: Water and Jacobs was there and poor little Jacobs he
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: can't take that kind of a shot and that wasn't good.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: So they I see, let me just if those numbskulls
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: do that bat again. If I see that bat, Old
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: TC's gonna be standing up during the time out. When
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: the old boy comes over, it'll be good night.
• 55:38

• 55:41
  Speaker 3: offended the organizers of the event before we even get there,
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: so I'll have to do damage control on that when
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: we look.
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: He was just that happened in a while back, and
• 55:50
  Speaker 4: he's still upset about it. But we're all, we're cool, right,
