• 4:01
  Speaker 1: because a couple of things, big picture stuff. West Virginia's
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: coming off its best performance of the season, so that
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: gets you excited. You've got an undefeated Iowa State team
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: nationally ranked. Had not seen these guys since two years
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: ago when they had their way with the Mountaineers. Now,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the last time they were here in Morgantown had a
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: bunch of NFL cats.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Well they did.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: We were doing that talking about that last night. They
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: had some dudes.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: They had dudes, all right, and Rock Purdy and Breeze
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Hall and uh the.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Nile the night end Inch tight ends Hutchinson on that
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: on that team.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and West Virginia got them, yep, and so that's.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Thirty eight on them.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Jared Deggy threw for nine fifty exactly.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Nine sixties somewhere in there. We're gonna get the final
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: numbers in. And so it's a true night game, right,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: it's a true night game. And the uniform thing has
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: taken not a life of its own. A lot of
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: people changing their their avatars this week to black and white.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what is it? I'm getting a lot of tweets
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: about that. Do I need to do that?
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I did it? You did?
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I probably need to do that.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Now they're asking you to change your avatar on your
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: social to black and white for the coal rush, the
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: black coal Rush.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: All right, I'll go in and I don't know how
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: to do that.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: As you can see, I'm fully dressed in blackout gear
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: already two days in advance, ready to go. But I'll
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: go in and work on that. Yeah.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: So these are the things that we do know.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: So when I fact something out, it should be in
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: black and white.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Facts it out black and white. Ok, this is what
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: we do know.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: That looks good.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you, thank you for that.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Just like I've said this several times this week, if
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: you're a fan, right, if you're a fan of West
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Virginia fan, like, what better opportunity do you want?
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Than this one that's being presented to you.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: What better? What? What? What? What more can you ask
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: for as a fan to be playing in an important
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: game in the middle of the season at night at
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: your place against a team that's got a tremendous amount
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: of equity built up in its undefeated record, and you're
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: coming off of your best performance and people are ready
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: to do their part like this is this is what
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: college football is absolutely about. This is the essence of it.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Well, I was going to say, interesting, you would say
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: the word opportunity because this game gets a five rating
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: and the opportunity factor scale excuse me, the OFS not
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: familiar with this, you're not? Well, this is this is
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: something new. I just came up with it this like
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: half hour ago. Thenity, the opportunity factor scale o FS.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: This gets a five on a scale of zero to five. Okay,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: for example, you all beeny the factor was one because
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: you could win the game. That was so is one. Uh,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: the off week is a zero. Penn State was a
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: four because you really didn't have a very good chance
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: of beating Penn State. This game is a five, the
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: most the highest score you can get on the OFS
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: because of the reasons. You just said your home. You
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: got this cdible atmosphere you're going to have with this
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: coal rush. You're a home dog, which I'm sure Brad
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: will talk about, but not a dog by much. This
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: opponent comes in undefeated, ranked eleventh, You're coming off your
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: best performance night game national telecast. Now, some other good
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: games go on Saturday night too, So in terms of opportunity,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: this is a five.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Five out of five. Yes, not familiar with the scale,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: but that's very good. Yeah, yeah, the oss I'll work
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: with that.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: That's good. Yeah, that's good. You know, we talked so
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: much last week about the situational advantage. West Virginia had
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: six straight for Oklahoma State. They were facing some injuries,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: west Virginia off a bye, going on the road against
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: a team that was ranked earlier in the year. But
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: you liked the setup in the situation for West Virginia,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: and West Virginia took advantage then of that situation. You
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: don't always take advantage of those spots. West Virginia did
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: to an A plus level, absolutely stomped on Oklahoma State
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: and didn't let up. I think you've got another good
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: situational advantage here. Now, I think we would all agree
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: i Was State it's going to be a better football
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: team than Oklahoma State is. So there's your challenge that
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: comes in. You've got those things that you guys have outlined.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: This black uniform thing's awesome. I think that's a lot
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: of fun to have that the players are going to
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: be excited to wear something different. You've got a night
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: game that fans have been clamoring for, and oh, by
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: the way, you're playing pretty well against a team in
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Iowa State that's playing well as well. But they have
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: to sit there all week and worry about going on
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: the road in a difficult place to play. They are
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: talking about this is the historic start for them, best
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: record since nineteen eighty Is there more to come? Or
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: is this when there's a little sellback on them? What's
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Iowa State come in here doing. I think this is
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: really interesting setup for WVU.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: As an Iowa native, could you put into context the
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: concern that some Cyclones fans are expressing about going to
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: six and zero.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: We've said this many times. I think this is a
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: fan base that has a lot of similarities with West Virginia.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Super passionate show up in all conditions, regardless of how
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: the team is doing. It could be thirty below, it
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: could be ninety five, and they're showing up and they
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: rally around this team and whatever sport that may be.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I think there really is a lot of similarities here,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: and so I think just like Mountaineer fans would do
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: when things are going really well, what's the other part
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: of the point? Hop? What the natural? Is?
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Really a lot of I'm going to drop over.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Your shoulder here, what's coming behind us here that I
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: don't see? I think Iowa State has an element of
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: that for some of the fan base. And I don't
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: mean that in any way disrespectful. I'm just saying that's
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: how West Virginia fans sure would approach something as well.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: So there's a part of them for a fan base
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: that has longed for football success, right They've gone a
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: long time without real high level football success and they're
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: having it right now. And they've got a very good team.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: We're going to get into not only the numbers but
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: some of their personnel. This is an excellent team. Matt
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Campbell's done an unbelievable job in changing that culture there
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: and making them believe that they are a top fifteen team.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: As they are right now. But I do think there's
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: an element of that fan base that's going, Okay, is
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: this for real? Here for us? Are we going to
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: be able to get to six and Oh? Last time
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: they went five and oho start the season, they finished
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: the season six and five. So there's a little bit
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: of that just built in throughout them. That doesn't mean
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: necessarily anything for the team, right Rock Obeck doesn't carry
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: all that baggage from one hundred years into this game.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: But I think there's some of the fan base, just
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: like Mountain Air fans would do.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Think about this that Matt Campbell periodically during practices or
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: in meetings, he'll just yell out one thirty three, one
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: hundred and thirty three years they've been playing football and
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: have not won a conference championship outright. So two things.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: One is that makes you think that they're in this
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: playing better than they have for a long time and
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: with what he's done with that program. But also that's
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: a weight that's a weight on your shoulders. This is
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: like you were talking about Brad, like, oh, is this
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: finally it? We're gonna finally do what's this feel like?
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: What's it feel like when you're sick. Can we get there?
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: So new territory, relatively new territory for them, And like
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Brad said, just like West Virginia fans maybe not totally comfortable.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Ohio State, Yeah, they're fine. Five and I was six
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: and oh who cares? But oh, Iowa State, West Virginia
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: you wait for because of the history. You wait for
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: the other side of that coin, or for the shoot
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: of other shoot of fall.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: And now let's talk about it from a West Virginia perspective.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: That's from Iowa State's perspective. Okay, so I talked. I've
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: had too many conversations or too many people bring this
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: up to me this week. But two games Iowa State
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: in Kansas State, if we could just if we could
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: just split, if we could just split, Like when did
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: that mindset start to come in here? Like are you
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: kidding me? Are you kidding me? You've got two games
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: on your home field against two really good teams, Like
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: is that the mindset to have? The mindset is this
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: is how you make a season memorable and special. You
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: go get your two games, You go get these two
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: games because you're at home. And guess what, you're not
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: a bad team. You're a good team. Now, you take
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: your crowd, you take that emotion, you take that energy.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Fingers crossed. You stay healthy in these games the right
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: people stay healthy.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Like why not?
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Like to me, that doesn't even enter into my thought,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: like why wouldn't you be able to win these games?
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: This is a pretty wild stretch coming here right now
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: as we sit, as we record this on October, tenth
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: of the four best odds to win the Big Twelve,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: now three of those are going to play off in
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: the next two weeks. Iowa State's the lowest than Kansas State,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: West Virginia's fourth. Right now, this is a massive two weeks. Also,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: side note, by the way, it shows what this conference
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: in college football is about. Your season's not over after
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: week one, right or week three? Right? You can climb
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: back into great storylines and know, by the way, have
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: some fun. Right, what do Welways say here? This stuff's fun,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: have some fun, enjoy the moment. But these are a
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: massive two weeks. But you know not not to be
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: We always say it's happy, not that we have to
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: take the tactic coaches. We're allowed to look ahead, we're
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: allowed to move the thing forward, but kind of don't
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: this week just go ahead and just stay in and
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: play this one game. Because if you can, if you
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: happen to get this game, if you handle your business
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: this week, oh buddy, next week becomes huge. This week's
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: already big. Next week becomes massive. But take care of
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: your business this week.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: And another night game next week. So I know what
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: you're saying, Tony. This is the fabric of Mountaineer football.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Let's go back. Okay, let's go back.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Can we go back?
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Sure?
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Now? This is where the young kids go like, wait
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: a second, this dude, it's two hundred and seven years old. Like,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: were you there when they start going back? Eighty four?
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Forty years ago?
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Going back?
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: How to stretch of games? How to stretch of games?
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Penn State, Boston College, back to back? Throw Syracuse in there,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: three in a row, back to back to back? What'd
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: you do? The place erupted. The place was spectacular. It
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: was electrified. And that wasn't necessary. I mean, Kevin White
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: was the quarterback. With all due respect, he didn't go
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: on to play in the pros, right, he was pretty good.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: That was a workmanlike team that you had some talent
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: that no, no, don't get me wrong. That was a
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: good team. But that team, oh, you also had like
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: some walk ons running around there making But I'm just saying,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: this is what makes season special. Holding your turf here,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. I'm not saying it's going to happen.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, but it should be the mindset that it
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: will happen.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Well, I agree with you, is you have the potential
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: to make the season special. Yes, okay, I get that,
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: so go do it. Okay, But I'm also saying that
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: you need to be realistic. You're not going to be
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: favored this week, You're not going to be favored next week.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: So in analyzing it, I get the emotional part you're saying,
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: but in analyzing it, you need to be realistic.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Not you, but one.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Should be realistic.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Jumping ahead, if they beat Iowa State, is it a
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: foregone conclusion they're an underdog to k State.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Mmmm? Not necessarily.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I didn't think so.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Not necessarily. I mean you are right now. But we'll say, yeah,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: a couple other storylines. Can I give you a couple
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: of their macro storylines?
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: This spreads on snats. No, no, this is like an
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: amnetizer bonus numbers. These are pretty obvious numbers. I just
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I find this interesting as you just try and look
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: happy for for macro storylines like you like to say,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: macro micro, macro macro. A couple things we've talked about
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: this twenty eighteen, West Virginia rolls into Ames with a
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: top ten team, really skilled at the quarterback and receiver positions.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Iowa State unranked doing a blackout at home.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: How'd that one go?
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: It'll be one day away from the actual anniversary of
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: that game that was October thirteen. This game will be
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: October twelve.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Didn't go well, blackout, blackout came through right.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Will Greer is still trying to figure out where to
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: throw it.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: So those poor Jakes Bavata on that offense, you just
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: couldn't move. And we're going to get into this Iowa
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: State defense where it feels like there's a thousand players
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: on the defensive side. That's what it felt like that night,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: that really outstanding offense in West Virginia couldn't move it
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: at all situations. Reversed a little bit. Number eleven, Iowa
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: State team comes into Morgantown while Morgantown's doing a blackout.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: That's one Number two you mentioned it earlier. Last time
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Iowa State came here as a ranked road favorite, they
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: were a double digit favorite that day over a Neil
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Brown coached West Virginia team that happened to be unranked
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: at the moment. Yeah, West Virginia walked out with a win.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Iowa State was as high as number seven that season.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: You may forget that they were twenty two when they
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: came in here. And I'll leave you with this from
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: a macro storyline perspective, Matt Campbell Under Matt Campbell, Iowa
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: State has played two previous conference road games where they
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: were ranked inside the top fifteen as they are now.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Two lost them both really according to Action Network, thank
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: you the Action Network.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Not to get all up in your zone because you'll
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: have spreads on stats, but in looking at this team
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: that I wonder how how good? I mean, the defense
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: statistically is very good, but are those statistics a little
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: bit misleading? Skewed a little bit, just a little bit,
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: And I don't know. Well, I'm anxious to see Saturday
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: night because it brad, as you like to say, it's
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: got to be opponent adjusted a little bit, right, So
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: when you say they're holding teams to ten points a game,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: and that stands out. But opponent adjusted, I mean Baylor.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Now they beat Iowa, a win at Iowa, that's a
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: legitimate win. But i was not an offensive juggernaut either.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: So what stands out to me about this defense is
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: not a ten points because I don't think that. I
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: don't think that hold up. West Virginia's gonna score more
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: than ten points. The fact that they're plus seven in turnovers.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: You're plus seven and turnovers in five games. You're gonna
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: win some games. We'll get to some numbers to back
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: up there. That was just a macro stat you'll have
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: better stats.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: I've got some numbers for you on that way. Okay.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: A reminder that any of the phone calls that go
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: down from the field up to the press box, I
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: think they're using Comac's Business Systems digital phone service.
• 17:50

• 19:41
  Speaker 2: I got a lot.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I don't think you're taking this serious.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: I had to pare it down quite a bit here.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: This would have been a four hour podcast.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: Which you don't have your glasses on, so it might
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: I think I can see without them here, really have
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: more credibility when you put the glasses.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Well, they'll come out for a minute here when I
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: want to make sure, but I think i'm I'm gonna
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: start without. I'll make an in game adjustment if I
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: have it.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm just glad that you're back to operating, because folks,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: if you're watching the podcast, you might just saw that
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: we were laughing before we turn the microphones on. Because
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: the senator walked in and was overcome by an allergen
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: like something got something got after him. His face got
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: all blowed up. I mean his face as I blowed up.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: His eyes were all blowed up. He sneezed in coffin.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: It was kind of it was disgusting. But you've bounced
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: back nicely.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Right In game adjustment, you took a pill, didn't you?
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: In game adjustment took a shot to just like the
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: players do during the game. If this is going like this,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: they just can't take that show.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: I had to play, couldn't ask out of the game,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: had to play. Okay, in game adjustments are going to
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: be a big theme here as we go throughout. Oh
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: really this show, well that's important part. All right, let's
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: dive in and meander through a lot of these kurtfill
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: you ready, and as always, please feel free to interact
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: as we're going through a lot of discussions. I tried
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: to niche this down just to a couple of areas
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: because there's there's a lot of things we could dive into.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of numbers we could hit. Let's start
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: from this standpoint. Let's talk about the one of the
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: biggest keys here, and it's almost you could hit the
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: tape from last week. We almost did this same thing
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: last week prior to the Oklahoma State game. Couple keys
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: West Virginia's run game against an Iowa State defense that
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: you might be able to run against a little bit,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: excuse me, might be able to Now you figured you
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: could run against the Oklahoma State run defense.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Did you do?
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: You handle that right. The second part then will be
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Iowa State's passing game against West Virginia's coverage unit. Same
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: thing we asked last week. Now, Wes Virginia did a
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: great job on Alan Bowman and company last week, but
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: we're going to dive into that same matchup we talked
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: about last week, because it's really each team's strength matched
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: against an opponent weakness. So let's dive into that a
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: little bit. Right now. We're going to start by looking
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: at this cyclone defense. Hoppy you mentioned it with their
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: statistical numbers, and listen, you don't even need the numbers
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: that Hoppy was referring to ten points a game best
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: in the Big twelve. Right now, we've seen this, We
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: referenced that twenty eighteen game. This is a really smart
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: style of defense. It's extremely well coached, and it's it's
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: a different look. Right that five defensive back. Umbrella coverage
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: in the back makes it look with their their d
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: backs in particular, I want to talk about them in
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: a second. It's like it's like my high school basketball
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: coach used to do when we were playing Obert Valley.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah over Valley High School there West Mooin and I
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: will thank you when we used Jim O. Day By
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: the way, excellent coach got two straight tournaments state tournaments
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: when I was a junior and senior when we were
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: All Metro player Thanks me and Fred Hoiberg only two
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: unanimous All Metro selections at the time. Thank you. He
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: went on to have a better basketball career than I did.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: But that's neither here nor there. When we would play
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: a team that was going to press us, what would
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: he do. He'd put eight nine guys out on the
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: floor against your five and you had to break it.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Teams did that when Press Virginia was here, right, that's
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: how you practice against that hopolds. We'll throw nine guys
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: out there, see if they can break the press. It
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: feels like that with Iowa State's defense. At times you'll
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: look up and you'll watch the quarterback drop back to
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: pass and it looks like there's thirteen defenders out there,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: fifteen defenders, like where are you gonna throw the ball?
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: These defensive backs in particular, You and I watched some
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: tape yesterday on a couple plays, and hop, here's what's
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: amazing about these guys. You don't see this very often.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: As Tony and I sit down and watch film each week,
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of times we see guys, the guys
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: that are kind of in there and they're in the scrum,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: the ball's going the other way, and they're kind of
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: fake engaged, and I kind of fake can't really get on.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: I'd love to go help you, man, I can't get
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: away from my blying. I got it, I can't get
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: over there. Maybe a lot of that, right You see
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: a lot of that, A surprising amount of that in Iowa.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Stay buddy, these guys, these defensive backs in particular, we
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: watched two particular plays where defensive backs were engaged in
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: the run game. They came up in the run game,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: and on one of them, the defensive backs engaged with
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: a blocker and all of a sudden, he sees, now
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: it's not gonna be a run, it's going to be
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: a pass. And he picks up a receiver that's not
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: his responsibility. That is going into the open. This was
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: against Iowa. He was going to be open. This was
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: gonna be a big play. The defensive back disengages, falls back,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: and not only his incover, he intercepts the damn ball.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: It was a great play. Another one we saw defensive
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: back on the far left side engaged in a block.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Iowa springs it big around the right side and he's
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: gone down the sideline. This defensive back the furthest away
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: from the ball that this defense he's the furthest player
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: away right. Yes, took off like a shot, out ran
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: three other defenders, and then as he got close to
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: the ballcarrier, not only went to just push him out
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: of bounds, launched like a missile. Just took off and
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: launched and knocked the ball carrier out of bounds. So
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: I'm super impressed with these d backs. That's going to
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: be one of the challenges. Can West Virginia move it
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: against this back end. I'm gonna come back to that
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: here in just a second.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: Hey On Brett, who was that player for Iowa State
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: a couple of years ago? Who was that maybe fifth
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: defensive back in the middle that made thirty two tackles
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: in West Virginia. Never figured out that they.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Called that star position, right because didn West Virginia recruit him.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: Who is that member, Tony?
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I absolutely can't see him.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll come back to that.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's a good he was.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: He was excellent. Okay, So this defense is really good.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: It causes a lot of problems. It's a weird look.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Their defensive backs play extremely hard, which hop when it
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: comes to defense football, basketball. If you play hard hard,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: that might be three quarters of the battle, right, just
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: get after it. But here's something now, let's watch this. Now,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: let's go to the other side. If you're West Virginia,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: this cycle on defense is just ninety fifth in the
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: country in run grade per PFF. It's one seventeen in
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: tackling grade and ninety eighth in pass rushing grade. They
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: allow one point nine yards before contact, which is ninety
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: six nationally.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Say that again, one.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Point nine yards before contact which is ninety six nationally.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: You give West Virginia it's two yards before contact, and
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: you're going to be in some trouble. CJ if that
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: number hold GM white too. If you don't get a
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: hand on him early look out. So those are some
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: numbers to watch. They are really beleaguered at linebacker in
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: terms of injuries, much like Oklahoma State was, and what
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: West Virginia do there. Really took advantage up the middle
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: and that opened the outside edge running for West Virginia.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: So that's something to watch, is the injury report for
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Iowa State. Matt Campbell talked earlier this week. Sounds like
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: a lot of those guys are back, but it was
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: a little bit murky on exactly who so where are
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: they at the linebacker position and a defensive line that
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: got controlled by Iowa upfront. You mentioned that Iowa offense.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: They really controlled that defensive line of Iowa State. Can
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: West Virginia do the same?
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Greg Eysworth?
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Greg Eysworth, Oh that's not who I was thinking of,
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: but he was really good. Yeah, yeah, he was really
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: good for them. Okay, So this defense that I just
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: gave you the numbers, one point nine yards before contact,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: ninety six nationally ninety fifth run defense grade one to
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: seventeenth in tackling. They're getting a West Virginia offense that
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: what hop they like to run and is clicking offensively correct?
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: You mentioned that this is the best offense Iowa State
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: has faced. I'll give you a couple numbers on that.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: West Virginia currently is thirty eighth in the country and
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: yards per play the best Iowa State opponent so far
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: when it comes to yards per play Iowa at seventy eighth.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: They have three other opponents that are ninety third or worse,
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: and the final opponent was an FCS program. So this
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: is a real test. If I'm Iowa State and evaluating
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: it from their side, I'm saying we've got some injuries
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: there on those linebackers that like to press up on you.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Right against Iowa who was going to run it, they
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: were up in there. It was almost like a bare
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: defense across that front. This is an injured Iowa State
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: group going against a really good rush offense that they
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: have not seen yet. That bodes well for West Virginia.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Let me keep going on some numbers. West Virginia's offensive
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: line is the Power Force highest graded unit so far
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: eighty six point nine grade and is the only offensive
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: line with eighty five plus grades in both pass blocking
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: and run blocking. Give me one more. No offensive line
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: even hits the eighty mark in both categories. They're clicking
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: right now. According to PFF one group's evaluation, Can.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: I interject something, well, sure, it wasn't all that long
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: ago where some maybe it was a minority, probably was
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: a minority, but allowed minority, really, questioned Matt Moore, West
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Virginia's offensive line coach, not getting it done, need to
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: make a move at offensive line. How'd that age for you? Right?
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Not well if you were saying that, not well, if
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: you're saying that, that unit has been elite.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: For two years.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: So did Matt just all of a sudden get smarter. No,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I mean it's like raising cattle man. You got to
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: wait till they mature. And he started absolutely with baby calves,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: and he has grown them and grown them and grown them,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: and now for the second year in a row, they're
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: among the nation's best at running football. So like all
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: of you, they're like, it's Matt Moore or Matt No,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: it's not. Sometimes you just have to be patient enough
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: to get the players developed. And now they're turning.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: And with that offensive line that's grading so well so
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: far this year, you come with the three runners, ce J,
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Jaheim and Garrett who have it going. They're averaging five
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: point nine yards per carry. They forced a mistackle on
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: thirty one percent of the attempts, the third best rate
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: in power for So, if Iowa State does what it
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: normally does and gives up two yards before contact, and
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: then you mix in these West Virginia backs that are
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: making people miss at an elite rate, that's how the
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: running success comes along here. So I'm going to get
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: into the pass game of West Virginia in just a second.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: But West Virginia is obviously going to have to run it.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: That's what it wants to do. It needs to have
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: success on the ground. The numbers tell you the opportunity
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: is there. Now we'll see if that plays out in actuality,
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: but the numbers tell you that could be there. I
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: mentioned Iowa before we know about their run game. The
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: difference I think in this offense is Garrett can throw
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: it better than Kate McNamara can and did against Iowa State,
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: but Iowa against Iaowa, excuse me, Iowa had success around
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: the ends. They went for two to eleven on the day,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: but they got one hundred and forty two of those
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: yards around the outside. You wonder if that's different now
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: because of the injuries though with Iowa State, can you
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: hit them up the middle, So keep an eye on that.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: That's that's West Virginia's rushing offense again. I'm gonna come
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: back to the pass offense in a second. Let's flip
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: over to what Iowa State does really well and where
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: there's a potential matchup challenge for West Virginia. The ISU
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: offense has two of the best wide receivers in the country.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Even though I don't know if they're getting enough national love,
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: these guys are really good Noel Noel and Higgins both
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: top five nationally and receiving grade, and rock O Beck
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: throwing to him. Beck has really blossomed here over the
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: last year, and I'll get to him in just a
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: second because he's doing some things really well. But no
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: power for team has a lower coverage grade on targets
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: of ten yards or more than West Virginia, and they're
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: going against Iowa State, which has the fifth best receiving
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: grade on targets of ten yards or more. So there's
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: a matchup to watch again. No surprise, West Raine's pass coverage,
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: especially downfield against Iowa States receivers that are very, very
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: good and physical let's talk about Jalen Noel. I'm gonna
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: say Noel the whole time.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: That's spell Jalenoh you got it.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: You got to change the spelling on that.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Jalen nole big time. Seventy one percent of his catches
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: go for first downs. His average depth of target thirteen
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: point one yards, so they're going to throw it downfield.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: As I just outlined, Jayden Higgins is really impressive too,
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: good size. A lot of times they'll just throw it up.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: They just put it up to him and tell him
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: to go get it and make a play or get
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: a pass interference call. Seven straight games with a touchdown
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: for Higgins. Sixty seven percent of his catches go for
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: first down and he's got almost a twelve yard average
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: depth of target. So they want to push it to
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: these guys. Hop you ready for this one? Yes, this
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: is from my friends at Sports Info Solutions. Oh sure,
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: sis went deep on this one. Higgins is first in
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: the Big twelve and receiving yards out of a trip's
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: right formation.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: That's very specific. Say that again.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: So if they go trips right, he's going to go
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: to Higgins. Higgins leads the conference in receiving yards out
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: of that formation. He's been targeted, just it's a small sample.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Six times in that formation he has four first down catches,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: so keep an eye on that on trips right Iowa State, though,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Hop has the lowest graded pass blocking unit in the
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Big Twelve, going against West Virginia's pass rest that is
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: seventh right now in the Big Twelve. Now, even with
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: that pass blocking grade, teams haven't got a lot of
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: pressure on RockA. That's his ability to get it out
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: and his ability to take off and run, which he
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: has done much better this year than he did as
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: a freshman. He's dangerous with his legs now. In fact,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: he leads the Big Twelve in expected points added per
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: attempt on quarterback runs. Those are successful plays basically his
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: expected points added. So he's doing really well in that category.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: But keep an eye on this offensive line. It was
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: one of the worst in college football last year. Now
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: they feel like they've upgraded. Left tackle's been playing very well.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: They feel like they've stabilized that offensive line a little bit.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: But we've seen West Virginia get good pressure Hop in
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: multiple games this season. TJ. Jackson, Tyron Bradley, Sean Martin,
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Trotter coming Leith in coming. What's one way to help
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: the defensive backs in coverage get some pressure, even if
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: you have to flush Roco, even if he runs a
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: few times on you flush him, get him on the
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: move and see if you can help your defensive backs.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: The scary part if you're West Virginia, if you listen
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: to people that follow Iowa State closely, they feel like
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: they're on the verge of an offensive explosion. It's been
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: a little bit slow starting for them. They started to
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: get there against Baylor where they had a running game
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: come along for the first time, and they feel like
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: they're really balanced right now, which that's a difficult team
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: to defend when they're really balanced. So watch them. They've
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: been very good so far, eighty first in yards per game,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: but they're twenty seventh in yards per play, so they're
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: getting after it. They get after it in yards per play.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: They've been explosive with those two receivers. Okay, one more thing,
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: how are we doing on time?
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: I think you're on a roll.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, let's go to this West Virginia pass game because
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: I think at some point you're going to have to
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: throw it. The West Virginia run game is what gets
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: all the love, and rightfully so, especially what they did
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: last week. And we're talking about Iowa State pass game.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: But if you look at PFF's numbers, and again I
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: know this is one data point, their grades in the
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: pass game are just one point off of each other.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: So this might be a little bit underrated passing game
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: coming for West Virginia.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Is this bringing you to tears?
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: No, because I'm trying to your computer that I don't
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: want to know. I don't want to give. I don't
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: want to give overwhelming with too much, although I maybe
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: already have. So one of the things you have to
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: do against them, and West Virginia did not do this
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: well in this twenty eighteen game we talked about. There's
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: a couple places that are open. The middle sidelines tend
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: to be there if you can get down and get
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: over the side and attack there. That's one. But then
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: there's also it's a middle sideline, well like ten to
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: twenty yards over to the sideline, so you get past
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: the linebackeror depth in front of that umbrella coverage over
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: on the sideline. Because that middle gets awful congested at times, right,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: So you've got to be patient and be able to
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: hit underneath because that back end of their defense is
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: designed to do what take away the big plays. They
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: want you to throw underneath, and teams have been doing
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: that to West Virginia so far. I'll get to a
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: number that backs that up. So is West Virginia able
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: to do that? That's not exactly what it wants to
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: do in the pass game. It wants to run at
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: run and then hit you over the top of the
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: big play. Can West Virginia alter what it does and
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: hit some of those middle sidelines and hit the slants right,
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: there's some slant availability there, come down, get in behind
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: the linebackers, especially if they have to crunch up to
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: protect against the run. Iowa had a couple opportunities that
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: were right there in that middle of the field. Can
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: really open up. Now if you can get those two
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: deep middle safeties to drop down and start to help
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: because you're really pounding them with the run. Now you
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: can come under and you can go over in the
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: middle of the field. Let's talk about that for a second.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: That's where Garrett really wants to go. He loves the
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: deep middle. Nearly fifty percent of his passes of more
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: than twenty yards go into the deep middle area last
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: season when nine of his sixteen touchdown passes came right
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: there deep middle part of the field, but this season
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: he has zero touchdown passes in that area so far.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: So teams know that too, right, I'm not giving information
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: out here that other teams don't know, so they've been
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: taking that away. So make Iowa State choose on that.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: What are you going to do? Do you want to
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: stay back? And then can West Virginia run it on
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: them and force their hand? And when they do, then
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: can you hit him over the top? And two can
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: you rpo them to death? Suck people down and then
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: hit hodeye in guys right across the middle for catches
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: and or yards after catch, catch the ball in the
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: middle of the field and take off. So watch his
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: passing game. This has the field. To me, there's a
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: lot of things going on here, and I do think
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Western News ability to run the ball is going to
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: be the number one key. But it feels to me
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: as if this is almost a really high level one
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: on one game here with Rocko and Garrett. Which of
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: these quarterbacks is able to play better in this game?
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: That's probably where the winner comes from in this one.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: And their defense is really to sucker you, is what
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: it's doing. Very tight passing windows in this defense of
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Iowa State, they're basically baiting you to throw a difficult pass.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: So all week long, West Virginia coaches have been, you know,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: coaching Garrett to don't bite the bait. Don't bite the bait.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Don't because Garrett's what is his personality? Personality is I'm
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: going to write pushing all my cards in, let's go
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: how much do I have? He has got to be
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: able to be judicious in this game. He's got to
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: be able to tuck the ball, Go get five, slide down,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: go play another play Judicious, judicious, that's the key. If
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: he tries to force that could prove to be fatal.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: They'll be able to move the ball, but it will
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: be in moderation and small chunks it. Don't try to
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: go out there and score three touchdowns with one pass
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: because it'll bite you.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: A couple other numbers, Garrett's most successful throwings own this
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: season has been middle of the field ten to twenty yards.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: He's shooting that at a sixty eight percent clip. You
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: do that this time, I think you have a lot
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: of success in the passing game. Stick it in right,
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: give it if they if they hold back, if they're up,
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: if those linebackers are up, pull it and hit Hudson
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Clement all day long on those slants in that area
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: where he wanted to be. When West Virginia won this
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: against Iowa State back in twenty twenty one, they had
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: two plays, two ten plus play drives that ended in touchdowns.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: That's important for what you're saying, where you've got to
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: be patient and go down the field. You get a
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: couple of those and that starts to loosen that defense up.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Then West Virginia came back in the second half on
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: them and had a five play touchdown drive and a
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: six play touchdown dive. Then the big play started to
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: come there. So can you get some of those in
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: the run game? Iowa had a couple of them. Iowa
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: had a couple there. Keep an eye on that.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: It's really good work.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: It is good work.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Tell you what Conleys CPA group. They get value beyond
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: numbers with your numbers. I mean you've been bringing it.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: Feel good about it?
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because the numbers are starting to mature now
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: that we're halfway through the season. Now you get some
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: good stuff.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, So with all of that said, what do you
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: think the absolute key to success for either team is?
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: Well, I think it's what we started with because if
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: West Virginia is running it on this team, I feel
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: like you're going to have some success. And what's your
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: ability to slow those receivers. That's a really tough matchup.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: Those dudes are both good and I think Roco's playing
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: at an extremely high level. That's why I think it.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Really there's a lot of guys on the field. Quarterbacks
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: the most important position out there. These are two really
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: good ones, two of the best in the league. Which
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: one of them has better performances this week?
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Rocco from afar right has never seemed to be overcome
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: by any of the other things that go on during
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: a game. I mean, rock solid right mentally. Yes, you
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: just don't know if the fact that you know, here's
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: his dad, I'm going to be honored here during the
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: game and coming into the Hall of Fame. His mom
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: is from Harrison County. Uh, you don't know. I mean,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: he's given no indication that the moment will become too
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: big for him and does that actually does he use
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: that as fuel and play at an even higher level,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: or does it kind of you know, let's face it,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: he grew up looking at golden blue stuff throughout his
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: house and now he's going to be on there playing
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: against him. Don't know.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what. He was cool in that
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: game against Iowa. Oh yeah, I mean.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Row late, that got him, got him in position, fuel
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: goal good.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: I mean he's a baller, there's no questions.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: But you just don't multiple touchdown passes in eight of
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: his last nine games, So they'll they'll feel totally comfortable
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: putting the ball in his hands and those receivers and saying,
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: go against this western and pass defense, show me West
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: Virginia that you've improved that coverage unit as a whole
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: linebackers and defensive backs.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Stat's brought to us by the Conley CPA group. You
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: ready for some healing.
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: Well that was that was a deep dive. That was good.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: I started rolling tape on that. You just went, you
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: went nineteen minutes?
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: Is that what it was?
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Nineteen minutes long, soliloqually that was.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: That was like an eighteen play drive. I mean that
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: was like a finished for the touchdown.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: That was like that was your presentation after your your dissertation, right, hoppy,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: when they go what do they have to do when

  Speaker 1: game coming out of halftime last Saturday. I understand. October nineteenth,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy is why I'm nervous until the game is over.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: I recognize it was fifty four years ago, but when
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: you give up a thirty five to seven halftime lead
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: to pit and lose thirty six thirty five, it sticks
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: with you. I was thirteen years old as always. Thanks

• 46:43
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they saw each other in summer ball. I
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: know it isn't football related, but I'm too anxious about
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: the next three weeks to talk football. Just go get
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: the next one, guys, Texter fellas the only way to
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: listen to three guys. The way to get after the
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: two biscuit challenge is to go with a bang and
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: a bang butter biscuit and then a biscuit of your choice,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: or yeah, how about leay? This is how about the climb?
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: If only Neil could go full Jimmy Johnson. This football
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: team is an egregious mileum holding call from being four
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: and one with a little number beside your name. The
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: vibes are in the right place once again, and I'm
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: beyond ready to finally make a trip to Morgantown again
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: and get some REVKEV barbecue and some connection three oh four.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: And then he adds this, my obligations working for Marshall
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: makes it difficult at times. Blaine currently in the jon
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: there he is so he was in the press box
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: there at the Jones C. Edwards Stadium and he had
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: a tutor's biscuit there in a cold.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: Drink and listening to three guys. Yeah, thank you, thank you.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: Uh Texter says, this is a bit long. It's from
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: the Greenbrier Ghost. I've got an apology slash request for
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: Tutor's Biscuit World. Oh boy, what is this?
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: What's coming?
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: On New Year's Day morning in two thousand and one,
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: after a night of h Brady in the New Year
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: tongue click, my buddies and I rolled down to the
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: Tutor's Biscuit World in South Charleston. As I stepped up
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: to make my order, I thought, I'd really love to
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: order a Mountaineer, but I'm not a fan of ham
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: on a biscuit. What I really want is a sausage biscuit.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: But that's a herd. But I'm definitely not a fan
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: of Marshall, and I don't want to contribute to their
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: biscuit out selling the Mountaineer.
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: So existential crisis.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: I ordered a Mountaineer and requested that the ham be
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: replaced with the sausage. The attendant responded, so you want
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: a herd? I said no, I'd like a Mountaineer with
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: sausage instead of ham. The attendant responded, so you want
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: a herd? I responded, no, I want a mountaineer, but
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: replace the ham with sausage, and you better not plug
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: my order into your computer as a herd. In short,
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: I made a small scene a La Brad going into
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: the gomart and need to apologize to the helpful attendant
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: who knew I was ordering the herd so it was
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: asking for it to be computed as a mountaineer. My apologies.
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: My request of this day is the Tutor's biscuit.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: World should make it possible to order a mountaineer, but
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: have the meat choice be optional. I will not contribute
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: to the hurd out selling the mountaineer.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: That's fine.
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: I think I'm with I think I'm with the Tutors
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: employee on that one.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: It's been twenty three years. I think statue of limitation's over.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: And here's the deal. Go get a mountaineer, Go get
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: a herd, go get whatever you wanted. Tutors. But you
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: just know the Tutors is the way to start your day.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: World Champions, I mean they're the best.
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: I mean the fact that you recognized, sure, oh okay,
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: you wants this, so what you really want is I mean,
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: it was very helpful on her part.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: Fact Texter I wonder if Gomart will have the ten
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: pack candy cane fly Rods slim Gems.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: Have you seen the haha, Well I have not seen these.

  Speaker 2: of the season, although we're not quite there yet.

  Speaker 1: I do know this, if you can't get the candy

  Speaker 1: gym at Gomart's across the state that are as long

  Speaker 2: like you're bringing lumber back from a place, right. It
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: kind of goes through the back. You gotta have something
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: open so it lays out the back and put one

  Speaker 1: Pig Pen from Boone County rights in. I like the
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: idea of a three guys biscuit. I think it should
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: have three different meats, maybe three of your favorite meets,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: especially if they're all different.
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: M that's possible.
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: Good idea.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: Josh from Oudros State Park. Do you think the slow
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: start this season actually sets us up better for a
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: tough stretch. Last year we had a chip on our
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: shoulder and we played like it. At this point, we've
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: got some momentum, but we aren't really being talked about.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: This is an interesting question. Next text our boy Jason
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: and Phoenix. Oh yeah, the massive mega construction project manager
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: who he likes to for amusement purposes, put some money
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: down on the mountaineers.
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: See the one that bet like a thousand and three thousand.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: And Yeah, that'll be him. Hey, guys, I'm loving the show.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: Has always some thoughts on the replies to my last
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: text as far as trusting that people who do something
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: for a living are competent, I'm not going to just
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: assume that because someone has a job they're good at it.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: I come across people every day who do what I do,
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: have been doing it a lot longer than me, and
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: based on the results, I wouldn't hire to scrub toilets.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: In my experience, the majority of people are terrible at
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: their job. But then again, I work in mega construction. However,
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: you don't have to work in the sewers to know
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: what blank smells like. I'd be interested to see the
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: win percentage when West Virginia doesn't start with the ball.
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: I was so surprised at the percentage when receiving that
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: I just stopped. I'd go straight to the numbers, but
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: I've been playing horribly lately, so I'm going to straight
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: to the range instead. As far as betting on WVU
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: to win, despite my position on Coach Brown, the season
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: wins bet was made before we came out against Penn
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: State and where we're completely non competitive. The bets on
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys game were more a bet against the Cowboys
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: than for WVU. Kind of like when you vote for
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: a politician, but it's really a vote against the other guy.
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: Thanks Jason, you just keep racking up those thousands. Thanks
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: to Coach Brown. I'll appreciate your thanks later.
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: He cashed a lot of tickets list when he did.
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: Cost brought a lot of money there behind the backs
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: of Coach Brown.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: Hi, three guys, I'm excited to be back home and
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: be privy to all things West Virginia. My son Rob
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: will be there also and will be going to the
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: Iowa State and Kansas State games, the men's basketball exhibition game,
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: and of course the Three Guys food court and possibly
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: bumping into one of you. Revkev's meat Trey will appear
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: at my tailgate. Who could ask for more? I do
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: feel compelled to comment on Neil Brown and the football
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: players in general. Fans should be grateful that Neil Brown
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: is a coach, not only for his abilities, but his
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: guidance all aspects of lives in the players and the
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: culture he's created among the players, and a thought for
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: the fair Weather fans. Not a player takes the field
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: and purposely misses attack, drops a ball, or injures themselves
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: or otherwise doesn't perform with the best of their ability.
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: Let's go. It's MJ and Savannah basketball exhibition is a
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: week from Friday.
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: I believe it?
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: Is it really? Yep?
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: It's here a week from Friday.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: OOPS season.
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: Hey three guys, this may be too late to make
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: Thursday show, but I have to get it out anyway.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: I'm listening to everyone talk this week outside of Mountaineer country.
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: No one, I mean no one is giving the world
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: champion Mountaineers the credit they deserve for shutting down Okie State.
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: It's all about how bad the Cowboys are this year.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: To take a segment from Hoppy's other part, time, Gig,
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore.
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: Let's go Mountaineers, Cole rush on the lights, big win
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: Saturday night.
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: That's okay, Just keep winning. That's all you got to do.
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: That.
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: That's just wing games. That's it. It doesn't matter who's talking,
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: who's not talking. Win games.
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: That that really is it. I mean, you're not. If
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: you win Saturday, you will be a story because a
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: top eleven team got beat. Okay, it's gonna be about
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: and it's going to be more about that team getting
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: beat than you win. But don't worry about it. Just
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: go try to win games and the narrative will take
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: care of it. Just go to just go one to know.
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: That's that's why they took the schedule in the football
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: building this week and just put a big thing that
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: said one to no, don't worry about the rest. By
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: the way, this is the first time this has ever
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: happened in Three Guys history.
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: What's that?
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: This is going to be a resumption of Jason and
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: Phoenix's text. I must have copied and paste and like
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: jumped it or something. Anyway, continuing our guy, I've got
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: tickets for two sound but I'm worried. I'm a Jinks.
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: I went to Stillwater for basketball, we blew it. I
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: went to Lubbock for football, got crushed. Then shortly after
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: I broke my leg into a million pieces. I'll try
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: one more and see how things go. But if I
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: break my other leg a couple of weeks after, I'm
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: sticking to Tony to TV and Tony's broadcast. I think
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: one in one over the next two games is reasonable.
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: We're three and two, which is where I probably most
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: have thought we'd be after five, though, two and zero
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: in the conference, which I definitely didn't have preseason. Col Rush, Baby,
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: can't tell you how badly I want Neil Brown to
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: make me look stupid. Let's go correlation not causation, Thank you.
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: I was in Memphi for a music festival this past weekend.
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: Charles Wesley Godwin was one of the main acts, and
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: went to see his set Saturday night, probably wearing a
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: West Virginia hat. I was lucky enough to be front
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: row and it was noticed by the band. One of
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: the members even came up to me and gave me
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: a high five. Nate, the bass player Charles came over
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: toward the end and we briefly celebrated the unbelievable SmackDown
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: on the cowboys. He then immediately proceeded to sing his
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: final song, country Roads, just as an unforgettable experience, and
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: it was a great way to show the SEC fans
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: we were with the bond that West Virginia fans have.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: By the way, PS Charles was the best set of
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: the entire music festival. And I can say with certainty
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: he made a lot of new fans Saturday night.
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: Pss, whoa you all right there?
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: I came up late, man, so he was taughting me
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: for having an allergy attack for the show. That's the
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: karma circling back.
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: What was happening there?
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: Got a situation over there?
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's Kathy Martin's fault. Excuse me?
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: What Kathy Martin Wren's secretary.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: What holl So?
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: Now, don't blame her for your bad food decision?
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: So I go over and I talk with Rent on Thursdays,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: and Kathy what the best, the best administrative assistant in
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: the history.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: She's been every She's been.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: The administrative assistant for every AD going back to Dick Mark.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: Some people think she might be the shadow AD.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: Could be anyway, she pops popcorn in the break room
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: at the coliseum in like a concession popcorn. So every
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: every week when I leave, I go get me a tube.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: And so that was one of those kernels.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: That's one of the top two things you don't eat
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: before going on air.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: Well aware, what's the other thing? Chocolate peanuts?
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, peanut dust will get in there and dust.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: Glenn from Glenn Ferris writes, three guys, sorry for the text,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: but I want to put a bow on the Oklahoma
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: State game. Great people at Oklahoma State. From the young
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: men from the Oklahoma State shotgun sports team, from whom
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: I purchased parking from and reasonably exchange gaming thoughts. Second,
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: the fans in section one to three to three who
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: welcomed myself and two other WVU fans warmly. Lastly, as
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: I made my way to the corner of the West
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: Virginia sideline, the OSU fan who politely told me thanks
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: for coming out. My response, thanks for having us high
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: perfect see one of the best renditions of country roads
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: ever with a two hundred or so West Virginia fans
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: signed by Glenn from Glenn.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: Ferris job Glenn, probably not you really.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: Kevin and Princeton writes, Tucker devrees, sounds like Nate Adrian
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: as other listeners have mentioned, but to me, I hear
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: a little Eli Manning mixed in there as well. On
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: another topic, if the mountaineer biscuit is Pat White, an
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: all time legend, and the peppee is Tevon Austin completely
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: flashing electric, then the tutor's sausage rap is Skyler Howard
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: unexpectedly great. You guys should try it sometime the show.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: Kevin in Princeton, I did a sausage rap.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, sounds good. Yeah, thank you, Kevin.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: Hoppy, This one is uh for you. Hoppy Hoppy Hoppy
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: strikes again. Listening to the Stillwater SmackDown episode. Hoppy just
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: stated that we likely won't win both of the next
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: two games. This underscores last week's discussions about expectations. We
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: already expect that we can't beat Iowa State in k
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: State question Mark, both of which are being played at home.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: We aren't talking about playing a highest state in Georgia
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: back to back.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: Come on, Hoppy.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: Seven wins and a Jarro Mayo mar seven wins in
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: the Jar of Mayo is absolutely not the ceiling for
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: this program. Maybe we don't win both, maybe we lose both,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: but the expectation needs to change. Hello Hoppy Brent and Foodie.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: Oh that was it? He just that was it? Now
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: here comes another one. My spacing has been terrible today
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: is I'll run on, Hello Hoppy Brent and the Foodie.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: I'm here to talk about the Mountaineers, food and everything else. Tony,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: I hympathize with you because I too made some questionable
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: food choices that I'm not proud of. However, it's hilarious
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: to look back at. I'm currently working one am to
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: nine am most of the time closer to a ten
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: hour shift, so I get off around lunchtime. So yesterday
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: my wife says she wants a milkshake, so I stopped
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: by there at the cookouts. In addition to her milkshake,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: I decided to get myself a little something a burger
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: and fries, but very good couldn't stop ordering. Proceeded to
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: order chicken nuggets, a cheesecase of dia, a chicken case
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: of dea hush poppies, a blt what I ordered my
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: wife some of my hall, but she only wanted the milkshake.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: It's amazing how little willpower you have when you're sleep deprived.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: He's exactly right. I think it's asleep anyway. Thanks for
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: the great show. Helps with the day to day grind
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: of working on the flight line. I help the Mountaineers
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: come out of the coal rush on the winning side.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: Even if they don't, I still support them. Jeff and Goldsboro,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: North Carolina.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: What's the flight line?
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: Heck of an order?
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: Look that up?
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: See what a flight line? Most wins of any program
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: without a national championship. We have facilities, we have nil money.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: It's time for us to believe that we belong with
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: the big boys. Come on a mountain, Neer Nation, put
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: on your black swing by the food court. Let's go
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: do our part to support the boys and show everyone
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: what we're capable of. Chris and Hurricane Austin and Buchanan Rights,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: Dear Children's author, Doctor Scopes, Senator Brent Howell, and Hopscotch,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: make that a drink. Now's the time to shout Neil
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: Brown's clock management and two minute offensive play calling. Shout
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: out to it. That last touchdown before halftime Saturday killed
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: any momentum Oklahoma State had gone into halftime. It seems
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: to be a common theme. Day One Borderline P one
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: listener Austin and Buckcannon.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the end of half, end of game has been
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: really really.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: Good Texas says me. And my fiance just recently moved
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: to Georgia, went to the Georgia National Fair in Perry, Georgia.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: Made a bet with her that we would see a
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: flying WV while we were there. After four hours of
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: eating fair food, we were headed to the exit when
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: I finally saw that WV connection. Mountaineers are everywhere, Zach
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: from Peachtree City.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: Flight line is an area of an airfield or airport
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: on which aircraft, especially military aircraft, are parked and serviced.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: Oh that's name Pat from Wheeling. For some reason, this
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: made me think of you guys. Look at those golden reces. Outstanding.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Hey guys. John and Kaiser also known.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: They did you see because it's part of their text chain.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: Oh how's the diet going?
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: I see that not good?
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: I got you? Yeah, that's good. Thank you very much,
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: Hey guys, John and Kaiser, also known as DJ Freshie
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: of the heff of Iison. I've started off by saying
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: I love the new beer, but I still enjoyed drinking
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: the old school kerch of als. This is a good story.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: I've talked about this bar before. So I was in
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: New York City this past weekend for some Broadway show,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: some sights, seeing some general New York food and entertainment.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys know where I'm going with this,
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: but I really just want to get the word for
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: more Mountaineer fans. We of course, ventured down to Jack
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: Doyle's Pub on Saturday afternoon to watch the Mountaineer game.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: This is that bar that's right across from the garden.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: West Virginia has taken over. For those that don't know,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: that's a Mountaineer bar located about a block from the garden.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: Once inside, we're greeted with multiple West Virginia flags and
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: jerseys on the wall. We were issued a sheet that
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: included Mountaineer game day specials. See that look up. They've
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: got their own Mountaineer game Day specially. Yeah, and we,
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: along with about fifteen other Mountaineer fans, were escorted upstairs
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: to a bar of our own for private viewing of
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: the game. I was able to enjoy the game with
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: some new Mountaineer fans and friends from the likes of
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia. Highly encourage any Mountaineer fans
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: to check out Jack Doyle's if you're ever in the
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: Big Apple, whether for a game, day, watch, or just
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: grab a bite, have a drink, enjoy a little taste
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: of West Virginia in New York City. Telly, you've been there, Yeah,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: James and Grafton writes with the latest drop, episode eight hundred, Mothman. Sure,
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: I've got a bet for Brad's a senator, right, Senator,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: here we go.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: If West yeah, Brett.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: If West Virginia goes on to win the Big Twelve,
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: you have to do the championship game recap episode wearing
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: the Mothman shirt.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: That's that new shirt we just put that out right
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: episode eight hundred.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: Vote for Mothman.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: That's on episode eight hundred, that's available for sale. What
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: is it?
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: He said, says, vote for Mothman on the shirt right on.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: It's a black shirt.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: And James wants me to wear that. If West Virginia
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: gets to the Big twelve Championship game.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: Yes, deal, that's like, that's not even a.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: Good deal to do. Deal, Yeah, mister negative. Dirk and
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: Berkeley County. I've got an answer to why there are
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: more text on a bad day game versus a great day.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: A study a few decades ago pondered why there were
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: more fan fights at a hockey, soccer or a basketball
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: game compared to a football, tracked or chess match. Conclusions
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: are this, there was no action, stops and anger builds up.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: So okay, so you're following this. There's more fan fights
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: at a hockey, soccer or basketball compared to football or
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: track or chess. Conclusion, no action stops and anger, so
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: textual healing is valid. Instead of punching the guy next
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: to you, you send a text and he says, I
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: will be by the way, I'll be a candidate. I'll
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: be at a candidate for him in the hoppy kerchieval
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: building going for County commissioner in Berkeley County. PS. Either
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: of you other two guys have a building named after you.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: I got an outhouse back named after me, Texter. I
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: was thinking about a twenty twenty one game and I
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: realized that I never shared a picture I took while
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: I was working near Bellingham, Washington. I had to work
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: all weekend in several aggregate quarries and couldn't watch the game,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: and I had to listen using my iPhone. At halftime,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: I decided to take my lunch break in despite Breisee
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: Hall running all over us. I knew something good was
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: a out to happen when I saw this sign at
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: the grocery store in Everson, Washington, near the Nooksack River,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: says go mountaineers, and there's the gentleman there.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: It's probably at a co Mart convenience store. It looked like, yeah,
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: it does sign on a Gomart store is where he
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: saw that?
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: Where where in Washington State? I have to confirm, you know.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: It could have also been maybe they were doing a
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: property search for Tutors Biscuit World. Because Tutors is now
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: open for franchise opportunities. They've got over seventy locations. Unbelievable
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: brand equity in that if you're interested in opening the Tutors,
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: look at that bad boy. You can have one of
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: those Tutors Biscuit World contact them for franchise opportunities. Be
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: the best biscuit you can be googling.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: So Clay saw that in Washington Mountains.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 3: There is an a WU alumni chapter in Seattle.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: Awesome. Someone says Hoppy that your commentary this week on
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: cooperation was beautiful.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: Oh thank you, goes in the Thin File Texter.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: I have no doubt the text line was shorter this
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: week than last versus others. Many of us experience the
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: same thing. Our phones get all blowed up after every loss,
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: but every time there's a win that goes silent. Some
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: dare to be a good fan, finding the joy in
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: a win and understanding it's not the end of the
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: world when we lose, especially if we have no control
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: of the situation.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: Fun.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: Hey, three guys, I love the story about Brad's mom
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: having dinner with the co Sells. But how about the opposite.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: What is the worst celebrity interaction you all have ever had?
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: I'll go first.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: This is a movie.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: I have an ongoing feud with Barry Bonds. It started
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety one. I'm at a pirate game when
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: his head was a normal size, and literally and figuratively,
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: I'm twelve years old. I'm back peddling in front of
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: him in a parking lot, trying to get my brand
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: new baseball out of the cardboard container so he could
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: sign it for me. I tripped over one of the
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: little concrete parking shocks and I wiped out. Ball goes
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: flying under a car, sharpie lid comes off and now
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: he's got dirt on it. I've skinned my knees, I've
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: got a bruised ego. Barry Bonds is standing over me
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: like the boss in a mob movie and says, see,
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: this is why I don't do this stuff. And he
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: just walked away.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: Oh gosh. We have not spoken since ps.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: I love tutors, but be careful how you word things
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: when discussing franchise opportunities. In a recent episode, Hoppy said
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: something about selling biscuits in West Virginia and it sounded
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: like a threat. Get your numbers up, cored he or
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: you'll be selling biscuits in West Virginia. I love the
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: show Pete and Pensborough.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 3: How about the Bond story.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: You could see it happening? Oh, I mean could you? Absolutely?
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: He wrote that wonderfully, like you could see a little
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: kid fidgeting trying to get the ball out. Here comes
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: Barry Bonds. I got the sharpien and he slips and
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: falls and barnes and Bonds doesn't sign it. That's a
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: huge dick move.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 3: Huh, just saying, say, have you had any You've met
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 3: a lot of celebrities.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: I haven't had any, na, because I kind of when
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: I see a celebrity, I kind of instead of going toward,
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: I kind of pulled back.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 3: You pull back, Yeah, Yeah, I don't don't rush up
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 3: and go hey, yeah, I don't want a deal? Yeah?
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 3: Got it?
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: I like to watch from Afar. That makes sense. First
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: time Texter he here. While I'm originally from West Virginia,
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: always cheer for the Mountaineers above all. I've accumulated a
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: bunch of different second favorite college teams over the years.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: While pursuing a career in medicine, I spent some time
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: at Wake Forest, and I appreciate you guys mentioning the
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: Kenny pick at fake Slide. That play has continued to
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: haunt me over the past several years. I'm at the
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one ACC title game, and the fake slide
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: felt like a major play in that game, helping to
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: bury Sam Hartman and the Deeks. After that play, my
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: hatred for Pitt grew to a level I had previously
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: thought impossible. Since then, I've always worked to teach Wake
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: fans the eat blank pit Chant to a pretty great effect.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: It's not all terrible, though. Two years later, Wake got
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: some revenge on Pitt via the picket rule. During the
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: twenty three matchup, Wake's game winning drive was made possible
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: by pitts QB sliding and being marked short of what
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: would have been an easy game ceiling first down. Not
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: perfect the way it's called now, but imagine they'll find
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: a middle ground eventually. At this point, Kenny Pickett giveth
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett taketh away thanks for his this chance. It's
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: some textual healing. I love the podcast. Signed by Mike
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: and Lexington.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: I know we talked about it last show, but I
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 3: did look up the exact wording, and I think everybody knew.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 3: It's when you begin, when you begin to slide, and
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 3: that is for the ultimate protection of the player.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, very subjective though, that's the hard part. Very subjective
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: is what's beginning the slide.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: Neil. Neil did not defend Garrett this week. He said,
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: you should have went farther, so look to your side.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 3: Don't go.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't don't slide until you see you're past the
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: old stick.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 3: By the way, looking at Facebook, This Seattle chapter is
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 3: very active. W Yeah, yeah, they do that and it's
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 3: not big, but they're active.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: Shouldn't we after all these years of doing this podcast,
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: shouldn't we like start doing our podcast. Like at various
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: alumni functions.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 4: We never go any well, we yeah, people, we're open
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 4: for that. I'll tell you what they'd be open for that.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 4: They take us in Charlotte in a heartbeat. When when
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 4: could we get that? When could we go.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 3: Well, there's three hundred and sixty five days in a year.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 3: Probably fine, one work out deal with somebody. How about
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 3: for the Tennessee game a couple of years.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, do that Trey Embrace. Lastly, listening to Brad's numbers
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: in the spreads on stats segments has reawakened my analytical
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: left hemisphere of my brain. It got me to thinking,
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: in the former Austin Kendall Jared Deggy era, if we
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: could get to twenty four points, we had a chance
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: at victory. In the new Garrett Green Nico markule Era,
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: has thirty points become the new line of demarcation between
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: victory and defeat for a beloved Mountaineers. Brad does the
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: data support this? Don't know that.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: I'd have to go back and look, you've been scoring
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: thirty a bunch, So what is it? Eleven out of thirteen?
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: Now it's four or five this season.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thirty used to be the magic inside by your
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: black and white pictured Pale Lindberg from Luketo Lindberg from Luketo.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 3: Brad, this is for you, But wouldn't it be because
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: I saw that in a for another team. I mean,
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 3: wouldn't that be for just about every team? If you
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 3: score thirty, your chances of winning are significant. So I
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 3: don't think that's unique to West Virginia. I think that's
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 3: a stat that applies to just about every team.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: However, I think the Texter is onto something. Up until
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: about five six years ago, you got to thirty. The
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: stat was awesome that you won the game.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 3: Everybody scores thirty now.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: Though, yeah, it's it's it has deluded that statistic. So
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: I bet you there's I don't know if it's a
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: massive change, but I think there's some credence to that.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: Thirty used to be your guarantee. Yeah no, well there
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: you know not nowadays?
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: Can you get to thirty Saturday against this team? Bread?
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: I think you need to you you have not scored
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: well against this group over the last four or five
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: seasons that you played them, you're averaging Yeah, it's like
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: low fifties. But the overs taking the money. Because of
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: what we went over, people think Iowa State's going to
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: be able to throw it on West Virginia and that
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: you can run on Iowa sayt or that West Virginia
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: will run on that. So that's why the numbers ticking up.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: West Virginia has only scored over thirty points once against
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: Iowa State since twenty seventeen.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: Right, and since Neil arrived, you're averaging fifteen and a half,
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: but they've scored on you.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they have scored on it. Here's what Iowa State
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: in its last five games against the West Virginia has
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: scored thirty thirty eight, forty two, thirty one, thirty one. Wow,
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: you better get thirty on said.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: There average thirty five and a half since Neil arrived,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: the average scores and since thirty five and a half
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: for Iowa State just eighteen for Western India. So you
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: need to you need to get to thirty. It's not
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: easy against these guys. Yeah, but West Virgin's offense, what
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: did I just eleven out thirteen somewhere there they've been scoring.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: Keep going, all right.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: So as we close up here, see Hoppy, what time
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: it is the actual day of time? Yes, So you
