- 1:49Speaker 2: Well hungry?
- 1:50Speaker 1: Yeah we are.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Hey, he's worse than I am.

- 1:54Speaker 3: Really yeah, two weeks.
- 1:56Speaker 2: He can't get his schedule.
- 1:57Speaker 1: Right, got schedule and so I'm not having what I
- 1:59Speaker 1: need around me during the day. So basically I'd eat
- 2:01Speaker 1: that microphone right now if I had, if I had salt,
- 2:03Speaker 1: probably start on it.
- 2:05Speaker 4: You're not at the three Guys training table. You haven't
- 2:07Speaker 4: been to the three Guys training table.
- 2:08Speaker 2: You get Tutors, hash Brown and an egg on there,
- 2:10Speaker 2: you'd eat it.
- 2:11Speaker 1: I could take. I guarantee I could eat two of
- 2:13Speaker 1: those mountaineers right now. Line and just like feel good.
- 2:17Speaker 1: Three guys also brought to us by Conley I'm hungary
- 2:20Speaker 1: Conley CPA group providing value beyond the numbers.
- 2:24Speaker 3: Shouldn't Connony be handling? Like what show this is?
- 2:27Speaker 2: I mean that's we should have to audit the show numbers.
- 2:30Speaker 3: That's a great call.
- 2:32Speaker 1: You think we should we should assign that to them.
- 2:34Speaker 2: Yeah, they should be all they do a better job
- 2:36Speaker 2: at keeping tract that we did, that's for sure. The way,
- 2:38Speaker 2: that's a pretty good idea.
- 2:39Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 2:40Speaker 1: The way that we're counting these shows, I think we
- 2:42Speaker 1: are going to get called in for an audit. Says
- 2:45Speaker 1: right here that you did your five hundred that you're
- 2:47Speaker 1: already yeah, you really didn't do that?
- 2:49Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, do you have receipts on that? I
- 2:51Speaker 3: have to file an amended return.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Onto episode five hundred and seventy one. Ish start saying that.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Things went things went on the counting when Darren Devrees
- 3:03Speaker 1: got hired, and I think we came in here on
- 3:05Speaker 1: a Sunday and knocked a quick one out.
- 3:08Speaker 3: You remember that didn't count it. I think that's where
- 3:10Speaker 3: the thing come.
- 3:12Speaker 2: There was a dig double number something.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sure or all of those. I'm sure I did.
- 3:18Speaker 1: There was a discrepancy between me and I think one
- 3:22Speaker 1: of our producers when they posted it, like if they
- 3:25Speaker 1: numbered it and I didn't number it because I didn't
- 3:26Speaker 1: think a ten minute one warned is being numbered because
- 3:29Speaker 1: it wasn't a full episode anyway. That's where the thing
- 3:31Speaker 1: went to heck in a handbag.
- 3:32Speaker 4: It's like the West Virginia Pitt football series, or different interpretations.
- 3:37Speaker 1: Of Yes, yeah exactly. Like Pitt says, we played them
- 3:40Speaker 1: this many times, West Virginia says they've played this many times.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Here's a thing. Don't worry about it, don't obsess over it.
- 3:44Speaker 2: It's right on brand for us.
- 3:46Speaker 1: Yeah, why would we want it? Right? All right? So
- 3:49Speaker 1: we're moving toward the start of the season. We do
- 3:53Speaker 1: have football games coming up this week, not a whole lot,
- 3:56Speaker 1: but Georgia Tech and Florida State play in Dublin in
- 4:00Speaker 1: the inn ACC matchup overseas. I think that would be
- 4:04Speaker 1: super fun. I wish. I don't think it. I don't
- 4:07Speaker 1: know anything about this, but I would love West Virginia
- 4:09Speaker 1: to play overseas in one of those.
- 4:11Speaker 3: Games, would you, Yeah, I really would. I think it
- 4:13Speaker 3: would just be so wild to be in a different
- 4:16Speaker 3: environment to play a football game.
- 4:18Speaker 1: I really would. I think that would be super cool.
- 4:20Speaker 4: The some of the NFL players who speak to it
- 4:23Speaker 4: do not speak well of those trips. Yeah you got
- 4:26Speaker 4: you got to go, you know, as Don Neeland would say,
- 4:29Speaker 4: halfway across the Orient and and get over there, and
- 4:33Speaker 4: then you're just there and playing, you know, six seven
- 4:36Speaker 4: hour time difference and in coming right back. It's not
- 4:38Speaker 4: like you go there like you would go there and
- 4:40Speaker 4: you go to that place you went in Scotland hang
- 4:41Speaker 4: out for a while.
- 4:42Speaker 1: I mean you shout out to the Devil's advocate, you know.
- 4:44Speaker 4: A business trip with the you know, seven hour flight,
- 4:49Speaker 4: six hour flights.
- 4:49Speaker 1: So I think the way you do it is you
- 4:51Speaker 1: would play this weekend and have next Saturday off. Then
- 4:53Speaker 1: it would be cool just to you'd have your buy,
- 4:56Speaker 1: you'd have your buy on week two.
- 4:57Speaker 3: I don't anyway, I don't think it's as good.
- 4:59Speaker 4: I don't think it's as good for the players and
- 5:02Speaker 4: the staff as you think it is. I think it's
- 5:04Speaker 4: I think it'd be a pain of butt. It's like
- 5:05Speaker 4: the Hawaii game. Hawaiian game is a disaster.
- 5:08Speaker 2: No question.
- 5:09Speaker 1: All right, we'll call it off. West Virginia will not
- 5:11Speaker 1: be playing in Ireland any talk called rennny think I
- 5:14Speaker 1: call that was close?
- 5:16Speaker 2: Who's playing Hawaii this week? Because they missed their flight?
- 5:19Speaker 1: Really excuse me?
- 5:20Speaker 2: They missed their flight? Look that up hoppy, What do
- 5:23Speaker 2: you mean they missed? They missed their flight.
- 5:26Speaker 1: The team they were playing was going to go commercial.
- 5:28Speaker 2: Or they missed their charter or something. They had spend
- 5:30Speaker 2: the night in the airport lined up, missed the flight.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Jeez, why do I want to say that it was
- 5:34Speaker 1: like a Delaware or somebody like that something. It was
- 5:36Speaker 1: like super super far away. Anyway, So the hay is
- 5:41Speaker 1: beginning to be loaded into the bar, and West Virginia's
- 5:44Speaker 1: preparation is now focused in on Penn State starting today.
- 5:48Speaker 1: They did their mock game last night over at the
- 5:52Speaker 1: stadium Deugaware.
- 5:54Speaker 3: Delaware State.
- 5:54Speaker 1: Yeah, Delaware State.
- 5:55Speaker 3: Wait a minute, you're going. Delaware State's going to Hawaii.
- 5:58Speaker 1: They tried to, but they didn't make it. According to
- 5:59Speaker 1: the Senator, that's a shot.
- 6:02Speaker 2: Delaware State. They'd be the hornets.
- 6:04Speaker 1: No, yes, Delaware State is the other ones at Peacock's hornet.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Same thing, it's a bird whales.
- 6:11Speaker 2: Now now we're naming Delaware College mascots. Here we go.
- 6:14Speaker 3: Shuttle bus to delay.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Huh, that's how come they missed their flight? They had
- 6:19Speaker 1: a shuttle bus delay?
- 6:20Speaker 3: Yeah, what a mess that is?
- 6:24Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead, sorry, I mean he's get us further
- 6:26Speaker 2: off track.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Last night over at the stadium, they did the mock game,
- 6:32Speaker 1: which is where they literally do the rehearsal of what
- 6:34Speaker 1: they look like when they run out of the tunnel
- 6:36Speaker 1: and then okay, this is how we're going to go
- 6:37Speaker 1: back in and all that kind of stuff, and we're
- 6:39Speaker 1: gonna come back here, we're gonna walk out. And by
- 6:43Speaker 1: the way, I guess I got a couple of new
- 6:45Speaker 1: ideas for the for the team entrance cool this year.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Just a little just a little just a little salt,
- 6:51Speaker 1: a little salt, make it just a little bit, like
- 6:53Speaker 1: a little bit more seasoned. And uh, because I could
- 6:56Speaker 1: look over last night, I could see the scoreboard because
- 7:00Speaker 1: this is cover it and they had the Penn State
- 7:02Speaker 1: thing on there and they had the West Virginia on
- 7:04Speaker 1: the scoreboard. I could see that kind of neat so
- 7:06Speaker 1: full dress rehearsal, full dress music was blaring. It was good.
- 7:10Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. It was good. Now, what's up on
- 7:15Speaker 1: our program here today? We're going to jump into these
- 7:19Speaker 1: aren't like what would you call this to characterize these
- 7:23Speaker 1: These are some not over These are not over unders.
- 7:26Speaker 1: These are not like what we were doing A couple
- 7:29Speaker 1: a week ago or so. But these are some mourn
- 7:32Speaker 1: little pieces of nuggets, of numerical nuggets that will help
- 7:37Speaker 1: you get a better feel as to either what's going
- 7:40Speaker 1: to happen or why something did happen.
- 7:42Speaker 2: Is that fair? No, I think you overstated. Okay, I
- 7:44Speaker 2: think you oversold.
- 7:45Speaker 1: No, just nuggets, all right, Basically, we're gonna give you
- 7:48Speaker 1: a bunch of nothing, just kip nuggets, so basic.
- 7:52Speaker 2: Add on as the numbers we've given before. PFF continues
- 7:55Speaker 2: its love affair with the Mountaineers. We'll just drip some
- 7:58Speaker 2: of those out. Might even give you a little basketball,
- 8:01Speaker 2: how a little basketball.
- 8:04Speaker 1: The pairings did come out for the upcoming battle for
- 8:09Speaker 1: Atlantis and the Bahamas and the world champion Mountaineers. Easy
- 8:14Speaker 1: draw in that opening game, I mean, just line up,
- 8:17Speaker 1: just run by. This team got Gonzaga coming up in
- 8:21Speaker 1: the game. League member Gonzaga conference game.
- 8:24Speaker 2: An early look at a conference game, conference game with Gonzager.
- 8:27Speaker 3: Yeah, gosh, you know, so I'll give you.
- 8:30Speaker 2: I'll just we're not gonna we're gonna do a ton
- 8:31Speaker 2: of basketball, because I know Kertchivill loses his mind about
- 8:34Speaker 2: early season basketball. He doesn't want to being played in December,
- 8:37Speaker 2: let alone talking about in August. But we're going to
- 8:39Speaker 2: so you can just shut his mic off. I'll talk
- 8:40Speaker 2: about it.
- 8:41Speaker 4: Well, I'm just gonna say, you don't need Gonzaga in
- 8:43Speaker 4: the league. You play them all the time anyway. It's
- 8:46Speaker 4: like they're like they're a what would you call.
- 8:48Speaker 2: Him, an adjunct man adjunct.
- 8:50Speaker 3: Member of the league.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Well, you know what is weird, you're right there, They're
- 8:54Speaker 1: the team we play the most, that's the farthest away
- 8:57Speaker 1: for absolutely no reason, for absolutely no reason. It's kind
- 9:01Speaker 1: of silly when you do think about it. I mean,
- 9:03Speaker 1: they're over there, we're over here, and we have met them.
- 9:07Speaker 1: We have met them a number of times.
- 9:09Speaker 2: Obviously, similar to like now the a c C has
- 9:13Speaker 2: to do this because their teams coming from from from China, Indonesia,
- 9:18Speaker 2: all over. The Indonesian team comes over to swim team,
- 9:25Speaker 2: they're gonna meet in Dallas. So that's kind of what
- 9:28Speaker 2: this is. Gonzaggar comes over West virgin You're just gonna
- 9:31Speaker 2: go to the Bahamas, just gonna line up go to
- 9:33Speaker 2: the Bahamas rather than playing them here or there.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Yeah, it's stupid. Yeah, it's stupid. Talk to a guy
- 9:39Speaker 1: out in the Midwest.
- 9:40Speaker 2: That old field and brackets, so not uneasy, man, we'll
- 9:43Speaker 2: go through that. That's gonna be some big basketball.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Talk to a guy out in the Midwest yesterday, league
- 9:48Speaker 1: affiliated guy out in the Midwest tells me, tells me,
- 9:55Speaker 1: that tells me that the the the Big twelve Commission
- 10:04Speaker 1: still has it with this Connecticut in his head, still.
- 10:08Speaker 2: With the Yukon, still stop, with the Yukon, still with
- 10:11Speaker 2: the Yukon in his head.
- 10:12Speaker 1: Won't let that go like if it was a if
- 10:14Speaker 1: it was like a fire, like he just they just
- 10:17Speaker 1: cannot stamp the thing out and just say stop. Says,
- 10:21Speaker 1: that's still still smoldering. Not on fire now, it's not
- 10:25Speaker 1: on fire, but it's still smoldering.
- 10:27Speaker 3: That's big.
- 10:29Speaker 2: I get it from the standpoint he's thinking basketball and
- 10:31Speaker 2: they have won two straight World Championships. I mean, I
- 10:33Speaker 2: understand that the infatuation there.
- 10:35Speaker 1: That's not how you build a league.
- 10:36Speaker 2: The All Sports member, Yeah, that's the challenge.
- 10:38Speaker 3: That's not how you build a sports league.
- 10:39Speaker 2: Unless you're breaking basketball out separately, as we've talked, then
- 10:42Speaker 2: it's then it's I think it's a different discussion.
- 10:44Speaker 1: Stupid anyway.
- 10:46Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 10:46Speaker 4: I think that the head ball coach would be football
- 10:49Speaker 4: coach would be nice to say, oh, we got.
- 10:51Speaker 3: Connecticut this week. Oh it would be I'll due respect,
- 10:53Speaker 3: I'll do respect that.
- 10:54Speaker 1: I mean, it would be a nice and we got
- 10:56Speaker 1: Connecticut to prepare for the Hoskey, I mean, everyone to Rutgers,
- 11:01Speaker 1: with all due respect to Rutgers. So moving ahead, let's
- 11:05Speaker 1: start the uh, let's start the numbers. You want to
- 11:07Speaker 1: just jump in and that's giving me some tit, Yeah,
- 11:09Speaker 1: just brought to us by Conley's CPA group.
- 11:11Speaker 2: Tidbits. Yeah, you went, do we have a jingle or anything?
- 11:14Speaker 2: Or are we just flying that seat of our pants?
- 11:16Speaker 5: Oh?
- 11:16Speaker 3: No, it's a busy trying to figure out what episode
- 11:18Speaker 3: this is.
- 11:19Speaker 2: So I check the numbers. I'll just go right to
- 11:21Speaker 2: the numbers.
- 11:24Speaker 1: Let's jump into the analytics worship of the show. So
- 11:29Speaker 1: we normally call this spreads on stats, but today we're
- 11:33Speaker 1: just gonna call it nugget numbers, brought to us by
- 11:36Speaker 1: the Conley CPA group, providing value beyond the numbers. If
- 11:42Speaker 1: you're a business owner and you would like some help
- 11:45Speaker 1: with the accounting that goes on within your facility, they
- 11:48Speaker 1: can do that. I mean, you could do it anyway
- 11:50Speaker 1: you want that, you can start it and they can
- 11:51Speaker 1: come in and help complete public accounting and consulting firm
- 11:55Speaker 1: serving clients throughout the state of West Virginia beyond forty
- 11:57Speaker 1: year anniversary coming up next to next year. They can
- 12:00Speaker 1: also outsource besides your accounting, they can outsource your CFO services.
- 12:04Speaker 1: So if you need a chief financial officer someone too,
- 12:08Speaker 1: take a look and break it all down, remove the
- 12:10Speaker 1: stress the time associated with hiring a complete accounting staff
- 12:13Speaker 1: and dealing with all the turnover that goes with us.
- 12:15Speaker 1: You can outsource conly CPA group hit me with.
- 12:19Speaker 2: The nugget, hang on, hang on a check up.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Wait, numbers changing as we speak.
- 12:27Speaker 2: They were looking at two different things.
- 12:29Speaker 1: What do you got like bitcoin going on?
- 12:33Speaker 2: Markets fluid and fluctuating as we speak. PFF more love
- 12:38Speaker 2: joining the Garrett Green Heisman discussion right first first reported
- 12:42Speaker 2: on this program. Right, they're still in. They've got Garrettless
- 12:44Speaker 2: is the eighth the best quarterback in the country, eighth
- 12:47Speaker 2: best top ten quarterback.
- 12:48Speaker 1: Right we know that?
- 12:49Speaker 2: Yeah, third highest ranked in the Big twelve though, which
- 12:53Speaker 2: is a little bit surprised. Shador Sanders ranked ahead of him.
- 12:56Speaker 2: Also know a FA Fida from Arizona ranked ahead correct
- 13:00Speaker 2: that Arizona team. That Arizona team is going to be
- 13:03Speaker 2: fascinating to watch because that's one of those games there's
- 13:05Speaker 2: a bunch of for West Virginia. Hop that's a really
- 13:08Speaker 2: tough road trip. Obviously, you're going way out there. That's
- 13:11Speaker 2: a really talented quarterback with maybe the best receiver not
- 13:14Speaker 2: just in the league, maybe in the country and Tech McMillan.
- 13:17Speaker 2: So they held onto a bunch of guys, lost some
- 13:19Speaker 2: to Washington with Jed Fish left, but held onto a
- 13:21Speaker 2: bunch of guys but all new staff. What's that like
- 13:24Speaker 2: is that a road game West Virginia can go in
- 13:26Speaker 2: and steal a road win there from an Arizona team
- 13:29Speaker 2: that's really highly thought of, that had it going by
- 13:32Speaker 2: the end of last year but now had to make
- 13:34Speaker 2: some abrupt changes with the new staff. I'm fascinated to
- 13:37Speaker 2: watch what Arizona does this year. And that's a big
- 13:40Speaker 2: it's a big star on that one for West Virginia's schedule.
- 13:42Speaker 2: Right if you're starting to look at West Virginia going
- 13:44Speaker 2: to be a seven, eight, nine, ten win team win
- 13:46Speaker 2: the league, that Arizona on the road is super important.
- 13:48Speaker 1: As so of all the neglect that Garrett's been receiving,
- 13:53Speaker 1: the one agency of record that does not neglect Garrett
- 13:57Speaker 1: as PFF.
- 13:58Speaker 2: They've been all over it, right, they have been all
- 14:00Speaker 2: over not only Garrett Green, and part of their Garrett
- 14:03Speaker 2: Green love has spilled over into West Virginia respect is.
- 14:07Speaker 2: They're the one of the few outlets I've seen that
- 14:09Speaker 2: has West Virginia ranked in its preseason top twenty five
- 14:11Speaker 2: as well.
- 14:12Speaker 1: So it would be fair to say that, like the
- 14:14Speaker 1: Conley CPA Group, PFF provides value beyond numbers.
- 14:18Speaker 2: They are right now West rinea fan should like the
- 14:20Speaker 2: numbers that they're providing. Here's another one you'll like. They
- 14:23Speaker 2: have Wyatt Milam listed as the fiftieth best overall player
- 14:27Speaker 2: in college football, fiftieth best fourth tackle. Here's some numbers.
- 14:32Speaker 2: Listen to this as you start to watch. And again,
- 14:36Speaker 2: we're in such a unique spot for West Virginia that
- 14:38Speaker 2: we've been able to fawn over Zach Fraser over the
- 14:41Speaker 2: last four years and then watch his success getting drafted
- 14:44Speaker 2: in the second round, going to the Steelers, now going
- 14:46Speaker 2: to start for the Steelers at center. That's been a
- 14:48Speaker 2: lot of fun. Milam is right there right Zach wore
- 14:51Speaker 2: the path down, cleared out all the trees, and Wyatt's
- 14:54Speaker 2: just hopping right behind him and following a very similar path.
- 14:58Speaker 2: Listen to these numbers. Whyt last blocking grade in twenty
- 15:01Speaker 2: twenty one, back when he was just a baby twenty
- 15:04Speaker 2: twenty one that year was second only to Notre Dames
- 15:07Speaker 2: Joe Alt. Okay, in twenty twenty one, second best pass
- 15:11Speaker 2: blocking grade only to Joe Alt. Reason that's of interest
- 15:14Speaker 2: to you. Joe Alt just went number five to the
- 15:16Speaker 2: Chargers in last Springs draft Oho, so they were two babies.
- 15:19Speaker 2: Joealt grew up to be a top five pick. Last year.
- 15:23Speaker 2: Wyatt had the second best pass blocking grade among FBS tackles.
- 15:28Speaker 2: Second best grade last year in tackles. Okay, hop he
- 15:31Speaker 2: was behind only Patrick Paul from Houston, Patrick Paul Westergin.
- 15:35Speaker 2: He faced them. He's now with the Dolphins. He went
- 15:38Speaker 2: number fifty five in the draft to the Dolphins. So again,
- 15:41Speaker 2: those are numbers. I say this a lot sometimes the
- 15:43Speaker 2: numbers just back up what you already know are what
- 15:44Speaker 2: you see. Those are some pretty good pass blocking numbers
- 15:47Speaker 2: for Wyat, both when he was a baby and last year's.
- 15:50Speaker 2: He's now grown up to be one of the best
- 15:51Speaker 2: players in college football, never mind one of the best
- 15:54Speaker 2: offensive linemen and tackles that you'll see. Couple Penn State
- 15:57Speaker 2: numbers for you, Sure, couple Penn State numbers. Quarterback Drew
- 16:00Speaker 2: Aler listed number thirteen best quarterback in the country. Here's
- 16:05Speaker 2: two stats under his bio that jumped out to me
- 16:09Speaker 2: and are applicable as you get into the preview for
- 16:12Speaker 2: Penn State. Last year, Penn State this again all according
- 16:15Speaker 2: to PFF. They had Penn State's pass blocking grade outside
- 16:20Speaker 2: the top fifty nationally, and they had its receiving grade
- 16:24Speaker 2: outside the top eighty nationally. We're going to hear from
- 16:27Speaker 2: Steve Jones coming up a little bit Penn State's play
- 16:29Speaker 2: by play. He says he doesn't have any concerns about
- 16:32Speaker 2: any area of Penn State's team. Part of why they're
- 16:34Speaker 2: ranked anywhere from what's six to nine. A lot of
- 16:37Speaker 2: people really high on them expanded playoff. Most think Penn
- 16:40Speaker 2: State's got a great chance to get into the playoff.
- 16:42Speaker 2: But those two numbers are interesting. How far how much
- 16:46Speaker 2: better has Penn State gotten in pass blocking? That's going
- 16:49Speaker 2: to be important. Conversely, how much better is West Virginia's
- 16:52Speaker 2: pass rush going against Then the other part of that,
- 16:55Speaker 2: the receiving group for Penn State has that taken a
- 16:58Speaker 2: big step forward from outside the top eighty last year.
- 17:01Speaker 2: So I found that interesting under drew Aller's numbers with
- 17:04Speaker 2: pass blocking and receiving their safety. One of their safeties,
- 17:08Speaker 2: Kevin Winston. Pro Football Focus has him as the twenty
- 17:11Speaker 2: eighth the best player in college football. He had just
- 17:14Speaker 2: a two percent missed tackle rate in twenty twenty three,
- 17:18Speaker 2: at second among all safety. So they have a bunch
- 17:21Speaker 2: of dudes on offense and defense, especially defensively. We'll talk
- 17:24Speaker 2: about them more next week, but Kevin Winston's a name
- 17:26Speaker 2: you're going to hear a bunch as we get ready
- 17:28Speaker 2: for Penn State. He was really really good last year
- 17:30Speaker 2: and he returns.
- 17:32Speaker 1: So what do you think do you do you agree
- 17:34Speaker 1: with Steve that there's nothing to worry about with this
- 17:38Speaker 1: Penn State team.
- 17:39Speaker 2: Well, it's all in context, because it's it's rare that
- 17:43Speaker 2: you have teams that you don't have any question Markster
- 17:45Speaker 2: concerns about Penn State's probably one. I mean, if I'm
- 17:48Speaker 2: Penn State, I'm probably looking at that. You feel like
- 17:50Speaker 2: your offensive line plugged the guys in. Even though you
- 17:53Speaker 2: lost the good left tackle to the NFL, you feel
- 17:55Speaker 2: like you've got They're kind of a West Virginia situation
- 17:58Speaker 2: on the offensive line, right They have gy that have
- 18:00Speaker 2: played a bunch of snaps, just maybe haven't started the game.
- 18:02Speaker 2: So they're gonna plug experienced guys in at the line.
- 18:05Speaker 2: They feel better at the receiver position. Julian Fleming comes
- 18:08Speaker 2: over from Ohio State. It's a proven pass catcher at
- 18:10Speaker 2: this level. So they think they've addressed those two areas,
- 18:13Speaker 2: and I think beyond that, what questions would you have?
- 18:16Speaker 2: They don't have them at running back, they don't have
- 18:17Speaker 2: them at quarterback, they don't have them on any part
- 18:19Speaker 2: of the defense. Great linebackers, great backfield, and they think
- 18:22Speaker 2: that defensive line is really good. So I understand where
- 18:25Speaker 2: if you're the play by play guy for Penn State,
- 18:27Speaker 2: you'd probably say that don't have a lot of concerns.
- 18:30Speaker 4: But I mean, getting Julian Fleming was huge, but he
- 18:34Speaker 4: was what's he got in totally is seventy nine catches
- 18:38Speaker 4: in four years.
- 18:39Speaker 3: So but is he a dude?
- 18:41Speaker 4: I mean is he Because if they're thin anywhere offensively,
- 18:46Speaker 4: it's at that wide receiver position. Fair and maybe thin
- 18:49Speaker 4: isn't the right word, But if there's a question mark
- 18:52Speaker 4: anywhere it's at, that's at that receiver position.
- 18:55Speaker 2: Maybe this is also a team that passed for three
- 18:57Speaker 2: hundred plus yards against West Virginia last year in three touchdowns.
- 19:00Speaker 2: That's all relative. Are you talking about thin as compared
- 19:03Speaker 2: to everybody? Are you're talking about thin as they go
- 19:06Speaker 2: up against the two teams that they're primarily concerned about
- 19:08Speaker 2: beating in Ohio State and Michigan. So that's a question
- 19:11Speaker 2: for me. I mean, I would say this to the
- 19:12Speaker 2: Julian Fleming part. West Virginia fans and US included, think
- 19:16Speaker 2: Jayden Bray is going to make a difference. We think
- 19:18Speaker 2: Jayden Bray can come in and make an immediate aim.
- 19:20Speaker 2: He had thirty catches last year, Right, that's not knocking
- 19:23Speaker 2: your socks off, that's not a bullet in Thekoff Award winner.
- 19:25Speaker 2: But we've seen some things in practice where he went.
- 19:27Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, Jade Bray might be a dude.
- 19:30Speaker 4: When you read what others are writing about Penn State,
- 19:34Speaker 4: what is the one point that keeps coming up all
- 19:37Speaker 4: this year? They got to stretch the field? They got
- 19:40Speaker 4: to have more big plays. And when you first start
- 19:43Speaker 4: to look at the statue, go, why is that they
- 19:44Speaker 4: average thirty six points a game. It's because, as you said, Brad,
- 19:47Speaker 4: the two games they care about Ohio State Michigan, which
- 19:50Speaker 4: they lost last year. They lost to Ohio State, they
- 19:52Speaker 4: scored twelve points. Boston Michigan they scored fifteen points.
- 19:55Speaker 3: So that's what I.
- 19:56Speaker 4: Think they're talking about is what you couldn't stretch the field.
- 19:59Speaker 4: And you look the stats in that game. I think
- 20:01Speaker 4: in one of the games and only complete eleven passes
- 20:03Speaker 4: and the average reception was like nine yards.
- 20:05Speaker 3: The other one was like thirteen yards.
- 20:07Speaker 4: So they did not have big plays in the games
- 20:11Speaker 4: that matter to them, There's no question.
- 20:12Speaker 2: And so again I think with a Penn State's two
- 20:14Speaker 2: different discussions, it's about the rest of their schedule. It's
- 20:17Speaker 2: about those two games. The rest of their schedule, you
- 20:19Speaker 2: can see what they did and they did this to
- 20:21Speaker 2: West Virginia. They're looking at that defense that was top
- 20:24Speaker 2: three in every category you can have and just said,
- 20:27Speaker 2: well we're not going to get crazy offensively, We're not
- 20:29Speaker 2: going to make any mistakes. Aler had twenty five touchdowns
- 20:32Speaker 2: and two picks. That's an unbelievable ratio right there, and
- 20:35Speaker 2: they had two great running backs. So they just said,
- 20:37Speaker 2: screw all of you. I mean, you want to see big,
- 20:39Speaker 2: flashy plays, I don't care. We're gonna try and win
- 20:41Speaker 2: games and we're gonna let our defense take care of it.
- 20:43Speaker 2: And I think and we'll talk more this week. So
- 20:46Speaker 2: to me, that's one of the very biggest questions. You
- 20:48Speaker 2: bring in a new offensive coordinator that's known for a
- 20:51Speaker 2: lot of motion and a lot of different plays and
- 20:53Speaker 2: a lot of creativity. Do they open that playbook or
- 20:56Speaker 2: do they try and stay more conservative and say, we're
- 20:58Speaker 2: not going to make mistakes the storyline, we're going to
- 21:01Speaker 2: hit a lot next week and on game day, Because
- 21:02Speaker 2: I think that's a fascinating study into what will Penn
- 21:05Speaker 2: State try and do, especially in the first game with
- 21:08Speaker 2: the shiny new toy of and Kotlicki, who's very very good,
- 21:11Speaker 2: we've watched him in Kansas for years, with a really
- 21:14Speaker 2: fun offense to watch, do they try and mix some
- 21:16Speaker 2: of that in or do they stay vanilla and let
- 21:18Speaker 2: that defense do work. If the defense can do work
- 21:21Speaker 2: against what is a much improved West Virginia offense from
- 21:24Speaker 2: what Penn State faced last year.
- 21:26Speaker 1: Yeah, we interrupt Brad's numbers and nuggets for this announcement.
- 21:34Speaker 1: I think you guys will find this interesting. But since
- 21:36Speaker 1: we're not live on the air, you'll already know this
- 21:38Speaker 1: by the time we start, if you would. Producer Austin
- 21:42Speaker 1: Pat McAfee has announced that he will host his show
- 21:45Speaker 1: next Friday on the WVU campus in preparation for the
- 21:50Speaker 1: Mountaineers and the Nanney Lions.
- 21:52Speaker 3: Where's he going to be?
- 21:53Speaker 1: I think on campus somewhere. I didn't listen to this ship.
- 21:57Speaker 1: I think wouldn't be surprised if he's probably near the
- 21:59Speaker 1: Mountain Layer or something like that. You know. I think
- 22:01Speaker 1: Pat likes to draw a crowd. Yeah, I don't think
- 22:03Speaker 1: he's going to go out to an open field anywhere.
- 22:05Speaker 2: He'll be cranked up. Yeah, he'll be cranked up. That's neat,
- 22:08Speaker 2: that's fun. It adds to the chaotic atmosphere of next week.
- 22:11Speaker 1: So it's interesting if you want to jump into the
- 22:14Speaker 1: game behind the game. So Fox has the game obviously, right,
- 22:18Speaker 1: so what better way for ESPN to steal away some
- 22:21Speaker 1: of the attention. They come in and they basically they
- 22:24Speaker 1: carpet bomb Fox on Friday. They'll get all the attention
- 22:27Speaker 1: because Pat's here, Da da da Dad. They'll steal that.
- 22:29Speaker 1: They'll get a little bit of that Penn State West
- 22:31Speaker 1: Virginia even though they're not going to do the game.
- 22:33Speaker 2: Or it's ESPN's attempt because they screwed up by not
- 22:35Speaker 2: bringing game day here and Fox scooped him on the
- 22:37Speaker 2: game day part of it, and then they said, well,
- 22:39Speaker 2: we got to do something, and our most popular show
- 22:42Speaker 2: is a West Virginia grad. We better send him in.
- 22:43Speaker 3: Where is game Day that day?
- 22:45Speaker 1: Any idea the Light Blue Lot?
- 22:48Speaker 2: No, he's asking where ESPN's Game Day.
- 22:51Speaker 1: Oh oh, oh, I don't know.
- 22:53Speaker 3: I don't know. I do know this.
- 22:54Speaker 2: I'm not here.
- 22:55Speaker 3: I do I do know this.
- 22:56Speaker 1: I think I think there was some I think there
- 22:59Speaker 1: was some comprehension issues with they released the WVU put
- 23:04Speaker 1: out earlier this week in regard to the Fox game
- 23:10Speaker 1: day and availability and things like that. So some people
- 23:14Speaker 1: misread that they're going to open the gates to go
- 23:18Speaker 1: in to watch Foxes.
- 23:19Speaker 3: What do they call theirs Big noon Kickoff? Big noon
- 23:22Speaker 3: Kickoff nine am is when they'll open that up for people.
- 23:26Speaker 1: To go in. Okay, the gates. As per usual, the
- 23:31Speaker 1: lots will open up at seven am. I think some
- 23:34Speaker 1: people misconstrued that and thought that the lots weren't going
- 23:37Speaker 1: to open up until nine But no, it's standard regular
- 23:41Speaker 1: seven am for the lots. Nine am is the time
- 23:45Speaker 1: that you can go over mill Over and go to
- 23:48Speaker 1: Fox's big noon kickoff.
- 23:50Speaker 3: What times are on are a deal open on Saturday?
- 23:54Speaker 1: Our food center? Do you know what time we open?
- 23:58Speaker 2: Efforting seven eight, like whatever it takes.
- 24:02Speaker 3: Everybody else has their time, said.
- 24:05Speaker 1: I we know that we're going to be open up
- 24:07Speaker 1: on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, so by the time Saturday
- 24:10Speaker 1: gets here, it'll be pass. We'll just be We're probably
- 24:12Speaker 1: like seven to eleven. We're just open all the time.
- 24:14Speaker 2: That's kind of what I was thinking. I mean that
- 24:15Speaker 2: kind of open Wednesday night after that, just it's open,
- 24:18Speaker 2: kind of like a gomart Like, why do you need
- 24:21Speaker 2: a lock on the front door.
- 24:21Speaker 3: We don't close exactly, We don't. We don't need a lock.
- 24:24Speaker 3: We were just like, we're open.
- 24:26Speaker 1: No, I'll get that. We'll figure that out, sure, Producer Dave,
- 24:30Speaker 1: they will have something like that. We got big announcements
- 24:32Speaker 1: coming up on that. By the way, I've got the
- 24:34Speaker 1: information a little bit later on the show as to
- 24:37Speaker 1: how folks can order their barbecue in advance, take it
- 24:42Speaker 1: to wherever they want it to be, take it to
- 24:45Speaker 1: their tailgate, take it back to their house, take it
- 24:47Speaker 1: back to wherever. This is the hell of a deal, and.
- 24:49Speaker 4: Do yourself a favor instead of like I got a
- 24:51Speaker 4: pack sandwiches, I gotta get the brisket.
- 24:55Speaker 3: Just get it.
- 24:55Speaker 2: Just trust we can even do better, and do better
- 24:57Speaker 2: than that.
- 24:58Speaker 1: It's available for pickup Friday night and Saturday. So if
- 25:02Speaker 1: you just want to take it on Friday, you can
- 25:04Speaker 1: take it to wherever you want to keep it whatever,
- 25:06Speaker 1: and then warm it back up. Or you could take
- 25:07Speaker 1: it Saturday whatever.
- 25:08Speaker 2: Or Saturday you can come out and get it. Have
- 25:09Speaker 2: a nice cold beer. Well you can do that.
- 25:11Speaker 1: And as the beer is being debuted on Wednesday, yeah,
- 25:13Speaker 1: what beer will be available?
- 25:15Speaker 2: Hold on, just hold on, just hold on over there,
- 25:17Speaker 2: we're still doing well.
- 25:17Speaker 1: Announce that next week, all right, we'll ann outside and
- 25:20Speaker 1: that's next week.
- 25:21Speaker 2: But there will be a new beer. Yeah, interesting, it'll
- 25:24Speaker 2: be there.
- 25:24Speaker 1: It'll be there, all right.
- 25:25Speaker 2: We still don't return to regular scheduled purnim. That's my
- 25:28Speaker 2: football stuff.
- 25:30Speaker 1: Did you have a couple of nuggets Junior?
- 25:33Speaker 4: Well, I only had two things. I'm fifty percent done.
- 25:36Speaker 4: I had one other thing, but I can wait. Well,
- 25:41Speaker 4: just I wonder how and how Penn State is viewing this,
- 25:45Speaker 4: because I was looking at their schedule last night, and
- 25:50Speaker 4: like Brad said, I had two games that matter right
- 25:53Speaker 4: Michigan in Ohio State. And they're not playing Michigan this year.
- 25:57Speaker 4: So look at their schedule. They start on the against
- 26:00Speaker 4: West Virginia and they're probably thinking, I mean, I'm talking
- 26:03Speaker 4: about Nitney Lion Nation. They're probably thinking, Okay, got to
- 26:07Speaker 4: go down there. It's a pain, go down there and
- 26:09Speaker 4: beat them, take care of business. Then they're home for
- 26:11Speaker 4: a month.
- 26:12Speaker 2: Huh.
- 26:13Speaker 4: They have Bowling Green, Kent State, Illinois, UCLA all at home,
- 26:20Speaker 4: and not until October twelfth brand they go to USC.
- 26:25Speaker 4: So they're probably thinking, you know how, you know what
- 26:27Speaker 4: they're thinking. They're thinking, okay, five and oh go take
- 26:30Speaker 4: care of business at USC. Then you play Ohio State
- 26:33Speaker 4: on November two, and you get Ohio State at home.
- 26:35Speaker 4: I mean, I would imagine they're talking themselves into a
- 26:39Speaker 4: big season. Sure because of the talent returning and because
- 26:42Speaker 4: of the schedule, which is pretty favorable for them.
- 26:45Speaker 2: Sure agreed, I totally agree, totally agree. That's why it's
- 26:49Speaker 2: West Virginia's job to make Week one as uncomfortable as
- 26:52Speaker 2: you possibly can. Now listen, some of the numbers are
- 26:55Speaker 2: starting to side with West Virginia on this, at least
- 26:57Speaker 2: in terms of where the line is going. It was
- 27:00Speaker 2: like fourteen back in the spring if you really got
- 27:03Speaker 2: on it early. It's steadily dropping down. It's been in
- 27:05Speaker 2: that ten ten and a half range for quite a while.
- 27:07Speaker 2: There's been another down shift this week. Now it's down.
- 27:10Speaker 2: If you look at DraftKings just eight and a half. Really,
- 27:13Speaker 2: Penn State favored by just eight and a half.
- 27:15Speaker 3: It's market was coming in.
- 27:18Speaker 2: There's some market influences come in on the West Virginia
- 27:21Speaker 2: side getting those double digits. Now it may pop back
- 27:23Speaker 2: up here to double digits. We get a little closer
- 27:25Speaker 2: next week. It's just been interesting to watch that line
- 27:27Speaker 2: movement throughout some time.
- 27:28Speaker 3: Here they get Ohio State at home, they get Washington
- 27:32Speaker 3: at home. You know, Maryland.
- 27:36Speaker 4: But I mean, it's it's it's a it's a workable
- 27:39Speaker 4: schedule for a team that certainly is setting its sites
- 27:42Speaker 4: on playoffs.
- 27:43Speaker 3: And more.
- 27:45Speaker 1: It'sn't a bizarre howre you just kind of threw out
- 27:46Speaker 1: there when you went through their schedule. Then they go
- 27:48Speaker 1: to U, then they go to us C. Did you
- 27:50Speaker 1: say USC? Is that where they're going? They're going to
- 27:52Speaker 1: go to USC? Do you say they have UCLA at home?
- 27:54Speaker 2: U C, l A at home?
- 27:55Speaker 1: How bizaar is this? I mean, now it's for real.
- 27:59Speaker 1: Now it's for real.
- 28:00Speaker 4: I mean won't know where they are not they will
- 28:05Speaker 4: have no idea where they are. They better fly they
- 28:08Speaker 4: better first fly north and then come across so it
- 28:12Speaker 4: will feel right to them.
- 28:13Speaker 3: Ucla, Yeah, Ucla, I'd be weird. It's just a longer
- 28:18Speaker 3: flight to Washington State.
- 28:20Speaker 1: Don't worry. So eighteen teams this year in the Big ten,
- 28:23Speaker 1: sixteen in the Big twelve. And I do think you're
- 28:25Speaker 1: going to hear a lot of conversation once this thing
- 28:28Speaker 1: really starts happening. When you start posting some new like
- 28:31Speaker 1: when Fox says Penn State Ucla is the noon game
- 28:36Speaker 1: in State College, They're big noon game and their body
- 28:39Speaker 1: clock is nine am. You're going to hit just hear
- 28:41Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of conversation about that, right, That's what
- 28:46Speaker 1: it's going to be you know.
- 28:48Speaker 2: We're done with the over unders. Should have done an
- 28:50Speaker 2: over under nationally. On bodyclock mentions we're seeing on this
- 28:55Speaker 2: show because we'll mention it when Westernam goes there. I
- 28:57Speaker 2: don't know we'll have blood body clocks.
- 28:58Speaker 4: We'll probably spend a whole show on it. Get an
- 29:01Speaker 4: expert on talk about that serious. I get you're out, well,
- 29:07Speaker 4: I mean I have other things, but you know, I
- 29:09Speaker 4: did stats. I was working on stats yesterday and then
- 29:11Speaker 4: I mean, look at him. It's just an embarrassing the
- 29:15Speaker 4: way I wrote him down. But I thought, I'm embarrassed
- 29:17Speaker 4: to do him because your stats are so much better
- 29:20Speaker 4: that mine, or so Macro.
- 29:22Speaker 3: I'm not even gonna mention him.
- 29:25Speaker 1: I got a problem.
- 29:26Speaker 3: What what happened?
- 29:29Speaker 1: My keyboard stopped working and I think I know why,
- 29:33Speaker 1: And now the problem is going to become.
- 29:35Speaker 3: I'll go plug it in, just keep do you know
- 29:37Speaker 3: where it goes? I think I do.
- 29:42Speaker 5: This is.
- 29:43Speaker 2: It's a good thing. We do heavy editing to this podcast.
- 29:46Speaker 2: We just go back in and edit this out and
- 29:48Speaker 2: tell you what he went in with.
- 29:48Speaker 3: Heavy.
- 29:49Speaker 1: By the way, while you're doing that, what's the story
- 29:51Speaker 1: in the new hat that's that's brand new. I've never
- 29:53Speaker 1: seen that happen. He's by the way, he's down here
- 29:57Speaker 1: looking at every single one of these of these you
- 30:00Speaker 1: it's now he's hitting my shins.
- 30:01Speaker 2: Now, what's happening?
- 30:05Speaker 1: He just hit his head.
- 30:06Speaker 2: What's happening. I'm going to do all right.
- 30:08Speaker 1: He's now in a down fetal position underneath the countertop.
- 30:12Speaker 2: And I think he knows what he I think he
- 30:13Speaker 2: knows what he's doing.
- 30:14Speaker 1: Rye got Yeah, we're working.
- 30:18Speaker 3: He fixed it.
- 30:21Speaker 1: Get your head and I don't hit your head, and a.
- 30:23Speaker 2: Little bit of everything's a little bit of a little bit.
- 30:29Speaker 1: Tell you what, kergieaval he was about that close from
- 30:32Speaker 1: going into concussion protocol. So what's the story on the hat?
- 30:35Speaker 1: That's a new Three guys load that prototol?
- 30:37Speaker 2: Well, yeah, so startup podcast here. So you kind of
- 30:39Speaker 2: just bootstrapping the whole thing, right, So I went out
- 30:42Speaker 2: and did some gear kerchival just like you don't what
- 30:44Speaker 2: I want a hat, need a hat, I'll design it.
- 30:47Speaker 2: I'll do it.
- 30:48Speaker 3: Just get himself went out and got it. Well, you
- 30:50Speaker 3: didn't design the logo.
- 30:51Speaker 2: I mean well I didn't design the logo, but I
- 30:53Speaker 2: designed the placement on the hat.
- 30:54Speaker 4: All right, nice looks good. Is it available at whatever
- 30:58Speaker 4: that website is efforting?
- 31:00Speaker 1: No, not yet, it's not available to episode eight hundred doctors.
- 31:02Speaker 2: Prototype colors got a blue and gold as well. And
- 31:04Speaker 2: what about I matched it with I was gonna I
- 31:07Speaker 2: wanted to go with the old school, original rare. That's
- 31:11Speaker 2: the first one, is very first one. Talk about prototypes. Yeah, yeah,
- 31:17Speaker 2: gosh right, I gotta dig mine probably update that, shouldn't.
- 31:21Speaker 3: We Yeah, because we've all aged a little bit since then.
- 31:24Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't have a beard and others you don't
- 31:25Speaker 1: even have a beard.
- 31:27Speaker 2: Well, I've I've aged quite a bit with the beard
- 31:29Speaker 2: white beard. Tony's had multiple cosmetic surgery procedures. He looks younger.
- 31:35Speaker 2: I've lost her holding in nicely. Well, so yeah, we'll
- 31:38Speaker 2: get a new there it is.
- 31:42Speaker 3: Tony.
- 31:42Speaker 4: I mean, yes, that does not reflect Tony's surgery, Tony's
- 31:46Speaker 4: cosmetic surgery.
- 31:48Speaker 2: So we're got to work on that, don't you think?
- 31:50Speaker 1: Should we get new I heard the artist retired Sydney
- 31:52Speaker 1: Sidney retired.
- 31:53Speaker 2: Yeah, Sidney Antony. Yeah, we'll have to work on that.
- 31:55Speaker 2: We'll get her, well, maybe we can commission her for
- 31:57Speaker 2: a one more deal.
- 31:59Speaker 3: Here's a line.
- 32:00Speaker 2: But anyway, I'm gonna work on some more hats. If
- 32:01Speaker 2: people like hats, will work on that whole work on
- 32:02Speaker 2: the hats.
- 32:03Speaker 1: I love it. I would wear that, would you? Yep?
- 32:06Speaker 1: Here's a line. What's Penn State thinking about West Virginia?
- 32:10Speaker 2: I talked?
- 32:10Speaker 1: That was almost biking a I talked. I almost went
- 32:13Speaker 1: full Howard Cosell on that. I talked to Steve Jones,
- 32:16Speaker 1: the play by play announcer of the Nitney Lions, and
- 32:19Speaker 1: I inquired to him, what's up with Penn State. Let's
- 32:23Speaker 1: listen it first visit for the Nitney Lions since ninety
- 32:26Speaker 1: two to Morgantown. Obviously we saw each other last year.
- 32:31Speaker 1: Where are you better? Where are you concerned from where
- 32:34Speaker 1: you were a year ago?
- 32:37Speaker 5: Better? Probably at wide receiver, quarterback has improved. I feel
- 32:43Speaker 5: that is there any area of concerned about? No, there's
- 32:47Speaker 5: no real area I'm concerned about with the team. But
- 32:50Speaker 5: you know, I mean, here's the problem. You go through
- 32:54Speaker 5: practice and guess what you're practicing. Guess yourself. Now, I'm
- 32:58Speaker 5: gonna find out what you can do against somebody else.
- 33:01Speaker 5: Somebody else's schemed and game planned for you. And there's
- 33:05Speaker 5: a couple of things. For example, West Virginia knows Andy
- 33:10Speaker 5: Koltoniki really well because West Virginia played Kansas every year,
- 33:15Speaker 5: so that staff knows Andy, uh, so there's not going
- 33:19Speaker 5: to be unfamiliarity with what his thought process happens to be. Conversely,
- 33:23Speaker 5: also knows that what West Virginia wants to do defensively,
- 33:27Speaker 5: So I mean, those are the things that you're looking at.
- 33:29Speaker 5: They also want to see. Last year, you know that
- 33:31Speaker 5: the kicking part. Last year, it got solved in the
- 33:34Speaker 5: game against West Virginia, but that's been a wide open
- 33:37Speaker 5: competition for Penn State for a placekicker, and of course,
- 33:40Speaker 5: especially at a road game, you're going to need to
- 33:42Speaker 5: be consistent there.
- 33:44Speaker 1: Yeah. Steve Jones, Yeah, been there for I mean he
- 33:48Speaker 1: has seen everything twice literally in he's been at it
- 33:51Speaker 1: for as long as I mean, he was there back
- 33:54Speaker 1: in eighty four when I first started here. We would
- 33:57Speaker 1: trade tape, which means exchange sound bites over the telephone line.
- 34:02Speaker 4: So you're probably you you guys are probably about the
- 34:03Speaker 4: same age. You might be a year two older, and.
- 34:05Speaker 1: He might be a little bit older than me, I think,
- 34:06Speaker 1: but like we'd go like, hey, he's got he'd go like, hey,
- 34:09Speaker 1: I got three Paterno's and you got any kneeling And
- 34:13Speaker 1: we go like, yeah, I got I got three kneelings
- 34:15Speaker 1: for you. You know, Okay, just click a switch, you'd
- 34:18Speaker 1: put the phone down, you'd send it over the phone line.
- 34:20Speaker 1: That's why every SoundBite back then sounded like Football and
- 34:25Speaker 1: State coach Joe Pitt. Yeah, exactly, and so now obviously
- 34:29Speaker 1: the magic of digitals. So he feels pretty comfortable, but
- 34:32Speaker 1: he does like it. He does give respect to do Wvu.
- 34:36Speaker 1: He's been here for many, many, many times through the years.
- 34:40Speaker 1: He gets it and you just certainly don't know.
- 34:43Speaker 2: He did and gave a lot of respect to Garrett
- 34:45Speaker 2: into the offensive line. Yeah, yeah, he got it.
- 34:49Speaker 1: He knows, he knows him, he knows Jaheim York Pa
- 34:53Speaker 1: wants to have a day against Penn ske. Keep in mind,
- 34:56Speaker 1: Jahim didn't have to have the opportunity to get on
- 34:58Speaker 1: the field last year against Penn State because he just
- 35:01Speaker 1: wasn't ready, wasn't doing all the things you needed to do,
- 35:04Speaker 1: and they couldn't trust him at that point. And then
- 35:06Speaker 1: he gained that trust over the next several weeks.
- 35:09Speaker 2: See, that's part of the fun I think guys of
- 35:11Speaker 2: an opener like this, albeit really difficult and there it
- 35:14Speaker 2: would be really nice to trot out a team that
- 35:16Speaker 2: you could hang fifty on and drill them and get
- 35:18Speaker 2: everyone more excitedbo to what you learn with this will
- 35:20Speaker 2: be fascinating. We've mentioned a bunch with a Rodney Gallagher
- 35:24Speaker 2: and a Treylan Ray out there as to your your
- 35:27Speaker 2: best receivers last we're true freshmen walking onto that field.
- 35:29Speaker 2: They had only been here a month, right, Jahim White
- 35:32Speaker 2: doesn't even play right. Guy that goes on? Do you
- 35:35Speaker 2: think could be one of the best backs in the
- 35:37Speaker 2: Big twelve?
- 35:37Speaker 3: Garrett Garrett?
- 35:38Speaker 2: I realize Garrett had started games, but really that's his
- 35:42Speaker 2: first game as the starting quarterback there there, in that environment,
- 35:46Speaker 2: you think he's better? Has he gotten a little bit
- 35:48Speaker 2: better since then? So say, I'm fascinated to watch what
- 35:52Speaker 2: this offense that again was really clicking at the end
- 35:55Speaker 2: of last year. Now it has a little different makeup,
- 35:57Speaker 2: some different questions than we had last year, but some
- 36:00Speaker 2: better answers in areas going against what is again probably
- 36:04Speaker 2: the best defense you're going to face. I don't know
- 36:06Speaker 2: that I'm on too much of a limb in saying
- 36:08Speaker 2: that I think this would be the best defense that
- 36:10Speaker 2: West Virginia will see, just as it was last year.
- 36:13Speaker 2: I think that's going to be a fascinating watch. That's
- 36:15Speaker 2: West Virginia's O against their D in.
- 36:17Speaker 4: Particular, that's a defense that held teams to thirteen points
- 36:21Speaker 4: last year. Thirteen points, yep, yep. I mean it is
- 36:27Speaker 4: a massive challenge, but a challenge that I think the
- 36:32Speaker 4: boys over at the Pushcar Center want to go do.
- 36:35Speaker 4: Look forward to its, say let's go, let's go ball.
- 36:37Speaker 4: I imagine even though they're just approaching game week, I
- 36:40Speaker 4: imagine they've worked on this a little bit before during
- 36:45Speaker 4: the off season.
- 36:46Speaker 1: Oh sure, there's things put in there, probably in springball,
- 36:49Speaker 1: different looks. They're not even telling the kids at that
- 36:51Speaker 1: time what you're working on, but you might be putting
- 36:54Speaker 1: a scheme here or scheme there that they might see again.
- 36:56Speaker 1: Yeah that's possible.
- 36:57Speaker 3: Finished first in the country in sacks and tea bread. Yeah.
- 37:02Speaker 2: They literally top three in every defensive category you want
- 37:04Speaker 2: to come up with. Yeah, it was a really good defense.
- 37:06Speaker 2: Yeah they will be again.
- 37:07Speaker 1: That's why it's good to have a quarterback that's got
- 37:09Speaker 1: the at least the ability to get out of harm's
- 37:11Speaker 1: way when you didn't have that and you were back
- 37:13Speaker 1: there and you were a target, you could just stand there.
- 37:16Speaker 1: That's tough to get those guys, yeah, and.
- 37:18Speaker 2: Just think, you know, talk to Steve about this. But
- 37:20Speaker 2: they're that defensive line. It's not just abdu A Carter
- 37:23Speaker 2: that they've moved into a pass rushing side of things.
- 37:24Speaker 2: But they love their their tackles and there's multiple guys
- 37:27Speaker 2: at defensive tackle that they're going to roll in. So
- 37:29Speaker 2: what's this West Virginia offense look like in terms of
- 37:32Speaker 2: the motion and the misdirection and the options you have
- 37:35Speaker 2: that you just simply did not have Week one last year?
- 37:38Speaker 2: That was that was a major difference what you saw
- 37:41Speaker 2: from the West Virginia offense is it got into November
- 37:43Speaker 2: versus what it looked like in September in Game one,
- 37:46Speaker 2: they're not even the same two offenses. Now you add
- 37:48Speaker 2: a year on top of that, especially with your skill
- 37:51Speaker 2: guys growing up. I can't wait to watch it. That'll
- 37:52Speaker 2: be fun.
- 37:53Speaker 1: Three guys before the game is brought to is by
- 37:54Speaker 1: Comac's Business Systems. When it comes to business equipment, they've

- 38:32Speaker 1: COMAXWV dot com.
- 38:34Speaker 2: Okay, we do a little basketball while we're still in
- 38:37Speaker 2: the spreads on SAT segment. I mean, I wouldn't just
- 38:39Speaker 2: turn into a meandering segment here as we talk about
- 38:42Speaker 2: a million things. No, No, that's fine.
- 38:43Speaker 1: No, that's fine, because the basketballers will start practice here
- 38:46Speaker 1: probably next week. They've give them a little break here
- 38:49Speaker 1: with the first week of school, and then they'll get
- 38:51Speaker 1: ready to go and pick up where they left off
- 38:53Speaker 1: in Italy. And as we said earlier in the program,
- 38:56Speaker 1: WV learned this week what the pairing are in the
- 39:01Speaker 1: upcoming battle for Atlantis. Now, if you remember, this was
- 39:05Speaker 1: supposed to be a trip that West Virginia took a
- 39:07Speaker 1: couple of seasons ago, and then COVID blowed that whole
- 39:13Speaker 1: thing up. It blowed it all up. Had to go
- 39:16Speaker 1: to South Dakota if you remember, Yeah, and they had
- 39:19Speaker 1: to go to South Dakota. And then the teams that
- 39:21Speaker 1: were supposed to be there, like they ching ching, they
- 39:24Speaker 1: fell out and they had a completely constantly change the
- 39:29Speaker 1: teams that were in it. So this is finally that
- 39:32Speaker 1: trip to get there. This is one of the premiere
- 39:36Speaker 1: tournaments every November. You know, you always think about Hawaii.
- 39:40Speaker 2: Now in this are the two best fields.
- 39:42Speaker 1: These are I mean, these are like, there ain't no
- 39:45Speaker 1: playing around in this thing. This is big boy basketball
- 39:47Speaker 1: in West Virginia. Gets Gonzaga first.
- 39:49Speaker 2: Yeah, let's so what I did, Hop went through just
- 39:51Speaker 2: looked at the early Gonzaga match.
- 39:54Speaker 3: Oh gosh, three months early.
- 39:56Speaker 2: Just a couple nuggets and never two early, just a
- 39:58Speaker 2: couple of nuggets here. This this is no surprise. They're
- 40:01Speaker 2: gonna be very good again, especially on the offensive side.
- 40:03Speaker 2: This is the team last year, hop fourth offensively in
- 40:07Speaker 2: points per possession efficiency nationally. Say, we're really really good.
- 40:10Speaker 2: Couple guys that we'll talk about more as we get closer.
- 40:13Speaker 2: But to keep your eye on for Gonzager. Ryan Nemhard
- 40:17Speaker 2: really talented point guard and Graham e. K a six
- 40:20Speaker 2: ' to nine interior guy. That's a guy that you're
- 40:23Speaker 2: gonna have to watch if you want an early matchup
- 40:25Speaker 2: that West Virginia's gonna have to contain with its lack
- 40:28Speaker 2: of size on the roster. That's gonna be West Virginia's challenge.
- 40:30Speaker 2: You're getting grahamy Kay maybe preseason player of the year
- 40:33Speaker 2: in their league. Nearly eighty percent of his shots came
- 40:36Speaker 2: from in the lane, forty three percent of those shots
- 40:39Speaker 2: at the rim. So you want to early how to
- 40:41Speaker 2: win the game for basketball against Gonzaga, watch Ek and
- 40:44Speaker 2: elite laying and try and shut that down. The other
- 40:47Speaker 2: part Nemhard and Ek very good pick and roll combination
- 40:52Speaker 2: right there. Nemhard top ten nationally and percentage of time
- 40:56Speaker 2: running a pick and roll, so they'll they'll want to
- 40:59Speaker 2: do that. The defending the pick and roll against Gonzaga
- 41:02Speaker 2: will be super important as well. Potential second round matchup
- 41:06Speaker 2: with either in Indiana or a Lewisville My goodness, ye,
- 41:11Speaker 2: no messing around. As Tony said, Let's look at Louisville
- 41:14Speaker 2: for a second. That would be a fun matchup for
- 41:17Speaker 2: West Virginia here, just a dreadful couple of years under
- 41:19Speaker 2: Kenny Payne for that Louisville program there, they are not
- 41:22Speaker 2: what they traditionally have been. Last year a bottom one
- 41:26Speaker 2: hundred team offensively and three hundred and fifty five out
- 41:29Speaker 2: of three point fifty six when it came to defensive efficiency.
- 41:33Speaker 2: But you know what about those numbers, hop what just
- 41:35Speaker 2: simply don't matter at all, because much like West Virginia,
- 41:39Speaker 2: they have remade the entire roster, twelve new players coming
- 41:43Speaker 2: in under new coach Pat Kelsey, So that's a complete rebuild.
- 41:47Speaker 2: Evan Miacowa friend of ours, Evanmacow has been on the
- 41:50Speaker 2: show evanmia dot com. Of course, sure Advanced Analytics for
- 41:53Speaker 2: Basketball does a tremendous job. Has the Cardinals is the
- 41:56Speaker 2: second best portal class in the country. Has West Virginia
- 42:00Speaker 2: ranked seventeenth in that category as well, So that would
- 42:03Speaker 2: be a fun, interesting second round matchup.
- 42:05Speaker 1: That new coach over there at Louisville.
- 42:07Speaker 2: Is he pretty energetic, He's energetic, He'll bring it.
- 42:10Speaker 1: Yeah. Pat Kelcey, big energy guy, big energy guy.
- 42:14Speaker 2: College of Charleston.
- 42:15Speaker 1: Yeah, came out of THEA came out of the CAA.
- 42:18Speaker 1: So they'll be they'll be bouncy, they'll be energetic. I
- 42:20Speaker 1: would imagine they'll bring some fans.
- 42:22Speaker 2: That'd be a good fan contingent there.
- 42:24Speaker 1: Interesting to see how many West Virginia brings because Mountaineer
- 42:27Speaker 1: fans have done extremely well going to these November tournaments.
- 42:30Speaker 1: And we've been to Puerto Rico with Vegas, Florida, Florida
- 42:34Speaker 1: that did really well, Charleston, South Carolina, they came out
- 42:37Speaker 1: and drugs. But I wonder if that'll translate to the
- 42:40Speaker 1: Bahamas because that's Thanksgiving week.
- 42:42Speaker 3: Correct, It's tough.
- 42:43Speaker 1: Yeah, Thursday, we'll play on Thanksgiving Day. You'll play Louisville
- 42:47Speaker 1: or Indiana on Thanksgiving Day.
- 42:48Speaker 2: Heck of a tournament.
- 42:49Speaker 3: Yeah, heck of a tournament.
- 42:51Speaker 1: So there you go. All right, here you go.

- 44:58Speaker 1: I bet you if you New York Times.
- 45:00Speaker 2: Were kit cats being pushed in the marketplace than there
- 45:02Speaker 2: used to be, which I'm good with, totally good with.
- 45:04Speaker 1: It'll be about a seventeen minute audio story on the
- 45:07Speaker 1: New York Times. Audio like you know, not many people
- 45:11Speaker 1: know Benjamin Benjamin Flew, No, Benjamin h Let's say we
- 45:15Speaker 1: may have got a Benjamin raft Mustin Benjamin raf Mustin
- 45:18Speaker 1: thirteen years ago said there's a way to push kitkats
- 45:22Speaker 1: out at a rate never seen before, and so he began.
- 45:26Speaker 1: Today Kitkats the largest Halloween candy ever.
- 45:31Speaker 3: Right, went to a big corporate meeting, set. I got
- 45:33Speaker 3: one word for you, Halloween, very prevalent.

- 49:14Speaker 1: Going on there that's done some things and some hammers.
- 49:17Speaker 1: Texas says, I.
- 49:19Speaker 2: Hope I'm not a job over there at the food
- 49:21Speaker 2: quarter as well.
- 49:22Speaker 1: Yeah, they painted the logo again on the ground. Yeah, awesome,
- 49:25Speaker 1: looks good, Texas says I hope I'm not a day
- 49:29Speaker 1: late and a dollar short. But I have one more
- 49:31Speaker 1: over under that I am curious about. What about an
- 49:34Speaker 1: over under on the longest winning streak in twenty twenty
- 49:38Speaker 1: four set it at three and a half games.
- 49:40Speaker 3: That's good.
- 49:41Speaker 1: Neil Brown's reached a four game streak once and that
- 49:44Speaker 1: was last year. From twenty nineteen through twenty twenty three,
- 49:47Speaker 1: the highest was two games. Thank you Ben from Ronoke.
- 49:50Speaker 1: So the question becomes, does West Virginia over under have
- 49:53Speaker 1: a win streak at three and a half.
- 49:55Speaker 2: Seas day this dang schedule.
- 49:57Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't have it in front of me, but
- 49:59Speaker 3: I'm go under.
- 50:00Speaker 2: Just at Kansas, Oklahoma State, Iowa State, Kansas State at
- 50:06Speaker 2: Arizona stretch is massive.
- 50:09Speaker 1: That is it's a season.
- 50:10Speaker 2: I mean, it's just massive. And then after that, even
- 50:12Speaker 2: if you got on a pickoff a couple of those
- 50:15Speaker 2: in there late and Cincinnata, Baylor, UCF, Texas. This is
- 50:20Speaker 2: just a beast of a league.
- 50:21Speaker 5: Man.
- 50:21Speaker 1: Every week.
- 50:22Speaker 2: It's fun. I read something in the Athletic today, huh
- 50:26Speaker 2: kind of a spreadsone sets? Not on spreads one sets
- 50:29Speaker 2: run in the Athletics today, we've been talking about the
- 50:31Speaker 2: depth of this league and the variance that's going to
- 50:34Speaker 2: come with this league where you you look at a
- 50:36Speaker 2: double digit number of teams that you thinks have a
- 50:38Speaker 2: chance at least we sit here in August chance to
- 50:40Speaker 2: win this league. Only Power five that has at least
- 50:44Speaker 2: ten teams with a two and a half percent or
- 50:46Speaker 2: better chance to win the league is the Big twelve.
- 50:50Speaker 2: No team with a greater than twenty six percent chance
- 50:53Speaker 2: according to it's just one model. That's the Athletics model,
- 50:55Speaker 2: but speaks to the variants and the the balance. Say
- 51:00Speaker 2: that again, only Power four league that has at least
- 51:03Speaker 2: ten teams in it that have a two and a
- 51:05Speaker 2: half percent chance or better of winning the league. So
- 51:09Speaker 2: ten teams according to this model, this particular model, but
- 51:13Speaker 2: none of those teams have a greater than twenty six
- 51:15Speaker 2: percent chance of winning. I know everybody, everybody, the world's
- 51:18Speaker 2: on you. If Utah is immortal lock. If you listen
- 51:21Speaker 2: to everybody, you should go put everything you own, everything
- 51:24Speaker 2: your friend zone, everything you can get your hands on,
- 51:26Speaker 2: and even stuff, even stuff. Just go get some credit,
- 51:29Speaker 2: borrow if you have to just load it all up
- 51:31Speaker 2: on Utah to win the league. Because there's no chance
- 51:33Speaker 2: Utah doesn't win this league according to everybody correct except
- 51:37Speaker 2: the Athletic who only gives them a twenty six percent
- 51:39Speaker 2: chance of winning. It's not an interesting It's gonna be
- 51:41Speaker 2: a fun season in the Big twelve. Now, the national
- 51:44Speaker 2: people are gonna try and tell your leagues no good.
- 51:46Speaker 2: They're gonna tell you leagues, no good. I'm here to
- 51:49Speaker 2: tell you this is gonna be a fun league. Sure,
- 51:51Speaker 2: it's gonna it's gonna be every week. It's what is
- 51:54Speaker 2: what you always say. This is a talk line line.
- 51:56Speaker 2: It's a very compelling season in league might be the
- 51:59Speaker 2: more compelling, absolutely, and we talk about it all the time.
- 52:04Speaker 2: These are games, they'll be great games in this league.
- 52:08Speaker 4: But nationally it's gonna be hard to break through because
- 52:10Speaker 4: what's anybody gonna want to talk about at the national level.
- 52:12Speaker 2: They're gonna talk about two leagues. Two league That's all
- 52:14Speaker 2: they're gonna talk about. Right in our last this is
- 52:16Speaker 2: going to be a fun league, Yes, just put it out.
- 52:20Speaker 1: In our last episode, there was a question regarding the
- 52:22Speaker 1: Let's Go Mountaineer chant during the game. I said at
- 52:25Speaker 1: that point, I stay away from all of those conversations,
- 52:28Speaker 1: but I will read the next text to help alleviate
- 52:31Speaker 1: Chris's text regarding the Let's Go chant during the game.
- 52:34Speaker 1: During my short stint of being a cheerleader, we were
- 52:37Speaker 1: told not to start the chant during the game. In
- 52:41Speaker 1: the past, the chant has been started while we were
- 52:43Speaker 1: on offense, and the crowd is slow to stop said chant.
- 52:47Speaker 1: Timeouts going into defense is the only time that they
- 52:49Speaker 1: can start the chant, but usually a video board, hypeboard
- 52:53Speaker 1: or band takes charge. So apparently the inability to tap
- 52:58Speaker 1: the brakes quickly the let's go chant was being too
- 53:01Speaker 1: loud for the Mountaineer offense. And so that, like I said,
- 53:05Speaker 1: I'm not going there. I just like whatever I wish he.
- 53:08Speaker 2: Would have come to that conclusion when I was in
- 53:10Speaker 2: charge of this stuff, to the conclusion that he wanted
- 53:14Speaker 2: out of that kind of stuff.
- 53:15Speaker 3: Would he ask you for things?
- 53:18Speaker 2: He would have ideas along with a couple other radio
- 53:22Speaker 2: station employees that shall remain nameless, that wouldn't stop calling
- 53:26Speaker 2: and suggesting things.
- 53:27Speaker 1: That no reason to bring Christian Miller into this.
- 53:30Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I wouldn't want to take that call, Texter.
- 53:34Speaker 3: Hey for others, hey.
- 53:36Speaker 2: T see multiple calls not read to get your work
- 53:39Speaker 2: done during the day, when I'd get all these calls
- 53:40Speaker 2: from different Hey, you know what you should do. So
- 53:45Speaker 2: I'm glad he's come to the realization that he's now
- 53:47Speaker 2: out of that business. As we were well aware, I'm
- 53:49Speaker 2: out not talking correct?
- 53:51Speaker 1: Is that in the context of the same thing when
- 53:53Speaker 1: people say I was watching the game and the defensive
- 53:58Speaker 1: backs are playing too far off of the wide receiver. Coach.
- 54:03Speaker 4: That's my equivalent is when I get a call or
- 54:06Speaker 4: text remail that says you should investigate or you should
- 54:10Speaker 4: have your team investigate this your team, and I say
- 54:14Speaker 4: I are the team and I ain't got time track
- 54:20Speaker 4: down why the road's not paved over there, but I
- 54:23Speaker 4: will pass along your concern about the unpaved road to
- 54:26Speaker 4: the Highway Department.
- 54:28Speaker 1: Hey, TC, Today is wedding anniversary day at the Mock House.
- 54:32Speaker 1: After hearing about my excursions at Terry Black's barbecue with
- 54:36Speaker 1: you and with your son, April demanded to try it
- 54:38Speaker 1: for herself. She deemed it to be the best barbecue
- 54:42Speaker 1: she's ever eaten. Picture Hoppy. As an anniversary present, she
- 54:47Speaker 1: got me an efforting shirt from episode eight hundred. There
- 54:50Speaker 1: we go an outstanding day in Central Texas from our
- 54:53Speaker 1: great friend Joe Mock and congratulations to Joe and April
- 55:00Speaker 1: celebrating the annivers Terry Black Barbecue is very good.
- 55:03Speaker 2: Thank you April for visiting episode eight hundred.
- 55:05Speaker 1: Dot com Kathy from Washington, West Virginia writes, I was
- 55:08Speaker 1: so glad that Hopey mentioned on the podcast on Monday
- 55:11Speaker 1: that it was fifty years ago that he started college
- 55:13Speaker 1: at West Virginia. I then reminisced about my days in
- 55:17Speaker 1: nursing school, soon realizing that it was fifty years ago
- 55:20Speaker 1: that I started school. Wonderful times and special friends made.
- 55:24Speaker 1: Thanks Hoppy, You're welcome, eas Lisens Kathy on fifty years. Yeah, absolutely, yes, absolutely,
- 55:31Speaker 1: fifty years. Hey, three guys seth in Florida. I in
- 55:35Speaker 1: preparation for the Penn State game, I present you the
- 55:38Speaker 1: James Franklin curse. If you recall, James Franklin was the
- 55:42Speaker 1: coach at Maryland who pulled Steve Slayton's scholarship and spent
- 55:46Speaker 1: the next three seasons crying as Steve ran amok on
- 55:49Speaker 1: the old Terrapins. Given that Jaheim White grew up a
- 55:52Speaker 1: Penn State fan, went to camp there and Franklin declined
- 55:55Speaker 1: to offer him, I believe this is the year that
- 55:57Speaker 1: Franklin starts his WV. Renning running back regrets all over again.
- 56:01Speaker 1: Jaheema is going to run a muck on him, just
- 56:03Speaker 1: like Steve did. Let's go out in hears. I don't
- 56:05Speaker 1: know if James Franklin had any involvement with Steve state Slaton.
- 56:09Speaker 1: That was that was the Fridge. That was Ralph Frigin.
- 56:12Speaker 2: Franklin wasn't coaching waiting on that staff.
- 56:14Speaker 1: I mean he, I don't know exactly what the involvement
- 56:17Speaker 1: is there. I never heard Franklin's name tied to that.
- 56:19Speaker 1: You always heard Ralph Frigin's name was tied to that.
- 56:22Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 56:22Speaker 2: It gets in the way of a good text, so
- 56:24Speaker 2: exactly confirmed Texter.
- 56:27Speaker 1: Hey Matthew here listening to the podcast. I'm an original
- 56:30Speaker 1: native of MacDowell County, Free State. I had family members
- 56:34Speaker 1: who grew up on the banks of the Tug. A
- 56:36Speaker 1: lot of trash and other junk that got tossed down
- 56:39Speaker 1: the hillsides or into the river had a lot to
- 56:41Speaker 1: do with not having any real trash collection service in
- 56:44Speaker 1: that part of the state. Sadly, the Tug River has
- 56:47Speaker 1: been heavily polluted my entire life and rather unsightly when
- 56:50Speaker 1: going down the road along the banks. Happy to hear
- 56:52Speaker 1: there are good folks out there trying to clean it up.
- 56:55Speaker 3: Yeah, that was from those thirteen thousand, thirteen thousand tight
- 56:58Speaker 3: hold out by the Friends of Friends of the Tug.
- 57:01Speaker 1: Frank and Clarksburg Rights, three guys. I have an idea
- 57:03Speaker 1: for the stadium's naming rights Mountaineer Field at Three Guys
- 57:07Speaker 1: Stadium before the game Eastern time Zone stadium.
- 57:15Speaker 2: We're gonna have to go back into that, aren't we.
- 57:17Speaker 2: Big twelve is gonna yack this. Oh they're gonna yack
- 57:20Speaker 2: it again, aren't they. Oh my gosh, or somebody has left,
- 57:24Speaker 2: They're gonna happen again.
- 57:25Speaker 1: This thing is going to be a cluster the entire
- 57:28Speaker 1: season on these games.
- 57:28Speaker 2: I thought, Plus, they got to figure out what the
- 57:30Speaker 2: heck's going on in Arizona, Like what time it is there?
- 57:33Speaker 3: They won't know what time it is.
- 57:34Speaker 4: It's somebody should call Arizona, go, hey, welcome to the league.
- 57:39Speaker 1: We just want to give me heads up here. You
- 57:41Speaker 1: will not know what time the game is. Yeah, so
- 57:44Speaker 1: it's you know what, I think. I'm gonna divest myself
- 57:47Speaker 1: from those complaints. Really, I'm done with it.
- 57:51Speaker 3: Well, you did your part.
- 57:52Speaker 1: I mean, I've called about everybody in the I mean,
- 57:53Speaker 1: forget it. I mean it doesn't anyway. Craig and Oakmont
- 57:59Speaker 1: love the year where you go spit your water it was.
- 58:03Speaker 3: You say that until you get the first release, and
- 58:06Speaker 3: then you're gonna get all it up. Again.
- 58:07Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, Craig and Oakmont loved the year long
- 58:10Speaker 1: tribute to the greatest mountaineer. I grew up another four
- 58:12Speaker 1: playing Jerry West, basketball, Babe Ruth baseball. They were equals
- 58:16Speaker 1: in my mind, and I assumed every kid in America
- 58:18Speaker 1: played Jerry West. I'm begging you, please, don't ever play
- 58:22Speaker 1: the Jelly Roll MGK song ever again. It stinks like
- 58:25Speaker 1: Hark cobbage.
- 58:25Speaker 2: I didn't play. He didn't play it once. I just
- 58:27Speaker 2: mentioned it. I said it was out there using the
- 58:29Speaker 2: music bed from Country Rids. Okay, pretty interesting statement, there,
- 58:33Speaker 2: isn't it.
- 58:33Speaker 3: What's it?
- 58:34Speaker 2: He played Jerry West, basketball, Babe Ruth baseball. They were
- 58:37Speaker 2: equals in my mind. I'm sure a lot of people
- 58:40Speaker 2: would share that sentiment, right, Think about that? Think about
- 58:42Speaker 2: what he said? A pretty good line.
- 58:44Speaker 1: Texter listening to the over under part one, there's a
- 58:47Speaker 1: mention of West Virginia connections in the city of Houston.
- 58:50Speaker 1: I lived there in eleven twelve. While there, I took
- 58:54Speaker 1: a look at the Alumni Association and realized that if
- 58:57Speaker 1: Harris County, Texas, was in West Virginia, it would rank
- 59:00Speaker 1: exactly in the middle of West Virginia. Counties for the
- 59:04Speaker 1: number of WVU grads, including a guy at my church.
- 59:08Speaker 1: There are West Virginians everywhere. Also Jennifer Garner, now she
- 59:12Speaker 1: was born in Houston, Hopey, didn't know that. I had
- 59:14Speaker 1: to look that up. Didn't know that. And of course
- 59:16Speaker 1: Dustin Garrison. I've lived in eight states and we're everywhere,
- 59:19Speaker 1: Evan in Iowa. Texture. Since you're brewing beer and potentially
- 59:26Speaker 1: rolling out coozies, how about offering and Effortina, three guys growler.
- 59:31Speaker 1: I imagine your student support could create a variety of
- 59:33Speaker 1: cool graphics. I'd love to lug a jug each of
- 59:37Speaker 1: Kercheval and three guys lagger from the food court back
- 59:40Speaker 1: to our tailgates. Signed by Dino in Annapolis.
- 59:43Speaker 3: Via Beckley Kirchviild not Aville.
- 59:45Speaker 1: We do have growlers, and when we first released the beer.
- 59:47Speaker 1: A matter of fact, I still got a case up
- 59:49Speaker 1: in my office really on the floor the earlier. Yeah, yeah,
- 59:53Speaker 1: I think Dave's doing more growlers, isn't he?
- 59:55Speaker 3: Probably?
- 59:56Speaker 2: I don't know that. Probably, I would assume he's on that. Texter.
- 59:58Speaker 2: We'll work on that, Dina.

- 1:04:14Speaker 1: pickles or whatever, and then they put it all in there,
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: and that's ten dollars American money, really ten bucks. And
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: then you just get in there with a spoon or
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: a fork and you just crank away at that thing.
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: But here a couple of different options. Right, So you

- 1:04:54Speaker 3: So what that is.
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: There's fifty of those available per weekend. Just fifty, just fifty,

- 1:05:12Speaker 1: snob and I'll never I'll never steer you wrong on food.
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: And if it is some sucky ass food, I'm not

- 1:05:22Speaker 1: I give this my five star gold seal. It's awesome.
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: Would recommend, absolutely, would do it. They're two hundred dollars,
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: eight pounds of brisket sliced and ready for you, two
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: pounds of pulled pork, two pounds of chicken.
- 1:05:35Speaker 3: Pre order it.
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: How do you do that? Super simple? Here's the website.
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: By the way, all this money goes Kevin's Barbecue is
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: a five oh one to three c It goes to
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: the source and they help children, among other things. They
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: give them lunchbox Friday's elementary school kids. They get three
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: thousand calories to take home. That's what they're doing. Go

- 1:08:42Speaker 3: That's high, read that's high.
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: That's a big number. Probably unders the number, and remember
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: it doesn't it doesn't have to be sacks. Get in
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: there and get a little pressure, get him off his mark,
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: get some pressure.
- 1:08:53Speaker 3: Would you go two and a half? What about two
- 1:08:56Speaker 3: and a half?
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: That's that's still seems like a big number.
- 1:08:59Speaker 3: You would not go over two and a half, I
- 1:09:00Speaker 3: don't think, okay.
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: Also depends on it's impressure. Where the game is, you know,
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: I mean, do you know he has to throw the ball,
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: then you can kind of have a little bit easier
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: shot at going to get him. If he doesn't have
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: to throw the ball, then it's tougher. Oki from jumping
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: bridge rights jumping branch. You're absolutely right, thank you, sir.
- 1:09:21Speaker 3: Jumping bridge. Did you're thinking about something over there?

- 1:11:18Speaker 2: I know, I'm sorry, all right, continue on.
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: Texter said, I also went from becoming a disc jockey
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: to being a news director heading up a staff of one.
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: I stayed in that job long enough to get through
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: nursing school. That was well over thirty years ago. Can
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: you confirm that the Dean was once known to his
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: listeners as doctor Hoppy Fever? There he is right there,
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: doctor Hoppy Fever. There's doctor Johnny Fever and a young
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: Hoppy back in the old studio doing your show. You
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: were younger then, Hoppy working up a sweat. Yeah, you're
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: animated there, I typically am you get fired up?
- 1:11:53Speaker 3: I like it?
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: Yeah, Texter I think West Virginia Nation WVU nation mountaineer
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: I've never seen it written WVU nation. It was weird
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: when I read that it's Mountaineer Nation. I think Mountaineer
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: Nation is extremely lucky. Garrett Green came in sat behind
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: Austin Kendall and Jerediggy. Then his third year, when I
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: think most dudes think they're ready, he sits behind JT. Daniels.
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: I'm sure that was tough to say the least. And
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: then he has a quarterback battle with a second year freshman,
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: finally gets to be the starter. And then in week
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: one he has a starting receiving group who most wouldn't
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: even be on the team. A month later and missed
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: basically two games, and he put up numbers like he did.
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: Now he's not tethered to any of that stuff. He
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: can just play. I'm excited to see what he will do.
