  on and off the field, an iconic mountaineer. Iconic I said, not

  only is any conic mountaineer, but like he didn't even have to play at

  to Welch Martinsburg in Maywan and all points in between. He's the first vector
• 1:15
  point. He's Quincy Wilson. They're rapping. I'm at a vector point in
• 1:22
  the Summer series. I think I was the first to have a graphic on

• 2:43
  those bonus points. Crypt did you earn up to five thousand bonus points on
• 2:46
  your Gomart card, which means that you go in there, like, I
• 2:52
  know this might have been a little bit extreme. I know a guy at
• 2:55

• 3:01
  seven airplane into the Flatwoods. Go Mart just brought it in because be wide,

• 3:25
  you would make that turn towards Charmco Charm Yeah. Three guys also brought us
• 3:30
  by lou Wendell Marine over one hundred of one and a half. Probably take
• 3:35

  Louewndell Marine Sales in Saint Albans. They sell family fund Visit lou Wendell Marine
• 3:50
  Sales dot com, the premier pontoon boat dealer in the state of West Virginia.
• 3:54
  So, yeah, we are going to Greenborough County. We'll talk about
• 3:57
  that coming up. It's this weekend Friday, Saturday, free event. Saturday.
• 4:00
  We're going to close off A Street and Ronsfford and we're gonna have food.
• 4:06
  We'll talk more about it later. But first, how about our guy,
• 4:12
  you know, I asked him. I asked him when he came into
• 4:14
  the building. I said, how old are you now? And he told
• 4:18
  me that he was forty two years of age. And I said, no,
• 4:21
  that's not right. I said that right, No, not possible,
• 4:25
  you're forty two, I said. I remember him running up and down the
• 4:30
  floor at the Charleston Civic Center playing for Weird in basketball. Yeah ninety.
• 4:33
  Now we closed out the sentry as they say, Yeah, as I did.
• 4:38
  And then I did your state championship game and wheeling on Man DuPont,
• 4:45
  great, great, great game game there I held on for dear life.
• 4:49
  As they say, what a game that was. I remember that again,
• 4:53
  like that was yesterday, was Friday night? Was cool, nice, crisp
• 4:56
  cold. And here's Quincy like running load of the ground. That was what
• 4:59
  ninety eight? Yes? Ninety eight? Yeah, you know, take a
• 5:01
  guess how many touchdowns Quincy scored at we're with Red Riders, Raiders, Red
• 5:08
  Riders, Red Riders, Riders, Riders. How many touches? O?
• 5:13
  Okay, let's just do the math. Let's say, did you play as
• 5:15
  a ninth grader? Yes, so four years, four years, so you're
• 5:18
  playing on average. You're gonna let's just say, played an average of twelve
• 5:21
  games, because you guys got in the postseason. Can we say you played
• 5:24
  forty eight a stupid number. This is gonna be good. Let's say you
• 5:27
  played forty eight high school games. Okay, just say round number forty eight.
• 5:30
  Okay, So, like if he was really, really good, really
• 5:33
  good, if he go ninth tenth, he'd score one touchdown per game,
• 5:36
  he'd score forty eight touchdowns. I know he scored more than that when he
• 5:40
  got go, but you can't count ninth and tenth like he was gonna score
• 5:42
  a touchdown every game. So I'm gonna say forty nine touchdowns for his career
• 5:49
  you're saying forty nine touchdowns for his career, give me one fourteen, one
• 5:55
  hundred and fourteen. It was kind of like the price is right. You
• 5:59
  just didn't you just go fifty so you could just go one over me and
• 6:01
  win. The whole time trying, I'm trying to be right. I don't
• 6:03
  want to just beat you. I'm trying to be right. How many hot
• 6:05
  wonder fourteen I got, Quincy. I checked this to check me if I'm
• 6:09
  wrong, fact check me. Ninety ninety yes, ninety yes, forty seven
• 6:13
  my senior year, Wow, you scored forty seven touchdowns. He scored forty
• 6:21
  seven. What are you talking about over there? Forty seven? I'm just
• 6:26
  playing Kennedy Award winner. There scored forty seven. F scored forty seven touchdowns.
• 6:30
  As a seat, forty seven touchdowns, it's forty seven. How do
• 6:34
  you have any idea? How many carries to something? I know average about
• 6:39
  one every five touches. I had ten yards to carry something like. I
• 6:42
  know you should have been more touches, should have been every touch you know,
• 6:46
  why were you running an offensive play other than who he's awesome? I
• 6:49
  didn't play a lot of fourth quarters, so I would always tell him.
• 6:53
  I was like, Coach, I'm in this Kennedy race. I need you
• 6:55
  know, Jerr. I was throwing eight touchdowns, nine touchdowns, you know.
• 6:58
  So I was like coach. So he was like no, So I
• 7:00
  figured out, let the game go a little, don't blow any teams out
• 7:02
  so I could play the whole for Yeah, coach and Amy out there,
• 7:05
  you got we got to block this one day we were talking before he came
• 7:08
  on there. What a great time in West Virginia high school sports for that
• 7:12
  ninety six to ninety eight time frame with you and Jay our House and Chris
• 7:15
  Eira putting up stupid numbers at Morgantown High as well. That was really a
• 7:18
  wish. Maybe not a golden age, but that was a heck of an
• 7:20
  era there. I wish there was social media because you actually had to go
• 7:23
  buy a newspaper and kind of trying to figure out, well, hey went
• 7:27
  hat down to Morgantown, down to Charleston. So I would always go so
• 7:29
  you were aware of the numbers. You were watching Chris's numbers the library walk
• 7:32
  down there and I library quinby old seventy eight year old Quincy Wilson back.
• 7:42
  Nope, computer in the house. On the internet was at the at the
• 7:45
  library, So go down there and get online and get on the Charleston Charleston
• 7:48
  I think it was Daily Mail at the time. Yeah, and then Dominian
• 7:53
  Post. Well you know what, you check house and Chris, you're's numbers
• 7:56
  specifically every Saturday morn every Saturday morning, which you know what where you grew
• 8:01
  up the Wheeling newspaper. And this was my impression that I'm right or wrong,
• 8:05
  I don't know. My impression was they had the best high school sports
• 8:09
  section. I mean that was like you talk about agot in a newspaper.
• 8:15
  I mean you open that thing up on a Saturday and they had like every
• 8:18
  reference, they had every that was the greatest high school section because high school
• 8:22
  sports means so much. There definitely the two news stations they're always yeah,
• 8:28
  it's great, great, great place to grow up, you know, in
• 8:30
  play sports. Like you said, and you know Quinsy that that whole Ohio
• 8:33
  Valley, Yes, you know, both sides of the river, you know,
• 8:37
  I mean that the hall. I mean all those athletes at came from
• 8:39
  it Ohio Valley. Oh my goodness, even from Oha High School. Fritz
• 8:41
  Williams, you know, you know Kieth Jeter, you know absolutely all the
• 8:46
  Jeters, right, all the Jeters and still Jeter's coming. Yeah. Still,
• 8:50
  you know. I was in we were there last night at TBT and
• 8:52
  the Wheeling and West Bank Arena. Just kind of walked around the halls a
• 8:56
  little bit of thing and I saw John haveletche Jersey, yeah as a Celtic,
• 9:01
  and I went like, whoa, because ye they got great stuff there,
• 9:03
  I mean, thank you. Yeah, it's amazing sports history that came
• 9:07

• 9:11
  it, but he was like from up there and there, yeah, lou
• 9:15
  hole those claims, yeah, Louis hoo, Yeah, exactly, you know
• 9:20
  all those guys, and it's just this means them. This is a little
• 9:22
  bit on the edge because it's not really up there. But Connellsville, Pennsylvania.
• 9:26
  Okay, that's we don't consider that in the Ohio Valley, right,
• 9:28
  I mean, but it's Western Pennsylvania. One of athletes at the Western Johnny
• 9:33
  and lu Jack, just died. Johnny Lujack is one of the great college
• 9:37
  players of all time at Notre Dame. Absolutely yeah, absolutely happened it.
• 9:41
  How about in Ken Griffy Ken Griffy's from up in there and Pa as well.
• 9:46
  But just that whole Manoahila Valley, whatever they want to call that thing
• 9:50
  up there. It's just it's been pretty well okay. Where else did you
• 9:52
  consider other than West Virginia coming out? Oh, you know what, Um,
• 9:56
  I came for Spring Gay had a great junior year coach Dunlap, and
• 10:00
  um those guys like, hey, come onto a game and you know,
• 10:01
  you're like, oh, I'll be there tomorrow. You know, so I
• 10:05
  got a chance to you know, um see amas there away, and you
• 10:09
  know those guys and Sean Foreman and Jerry Porter and Mark Boldrums just like you
• 10:13
  know, shock and all um. And then as you know, my senior
• 10:18
  year comes obviously you know Russian for you know, the thirty thirty two hundred
• 10:22
  yards to believe in forty seven touchdowns. All of a sudden, you know,
• 10:24
  these coaches are calling you. So you know, Indiana and Georgia and
• 10:28
  all these places. But you know, so I never was not going to
• 10:31
  the WU, but you know, I found out early that you can always
• 10:35
  take unofficials everywhere. So I took my visits. And then you know,
• 10:39
  obviously it came down, you know, to see coach Dana. But when
• 10:41
  Coach Delan came to the house, sat on the couch. My mom was
• 10:45
  like, that's it. That's where you're going. How about that that's where
• 10:46
  you're going? Really? What what? What did so? How did Neeland?
• 10:50
  You know what? Why was your mother enamored with Don Neilan? You
• 10:54
  know, I think how friendly he was, trustworthy, everything he said.
• 10:58
  Um, like I said, there was about five coaches there, and I
• 11:00
  think statue of limitation is out. Imagine my living room with every West Virginia
• 11:05
  coach and brought everybody coach coach right, you ran the whole crew up.
• 11:11
  Even coach was there. So you know, I say it was it was
• 11:15
  still came coach were having Yeah, coach my uncle's back back in high school.
• 11:22
  So but yeah, just you know the overall yeah, everything, you
• 11:26
  know how much they wanted me to come, and you know how much it
• 11:30
  meant to you know, come to the state. Then you got down here
• 11:33
  and he was like, come on, Wilson quit talking into yeah. Yeah
• 11:35
  you know, well no, I was never I was never that guy.
• 11:37
  I was always you know, a hard worker. My cousins Art Miller,
• 11:41
  I watched him um work. You know, I always was that. I
• 11:45
  would go to the we have a community center, I go work out,
• 11:48
  I go run. You know, there's always people telling stories about Yeah,
• 11:50
  we used to see you run up a hill and now I did it once
• 11:54
  one time. You know, people see you and that's kind of one of
• 11:56
  those stories that grow, like every day you ran up, dude, and
• 12:00
  I never deny it, like Walter Payton, you know exactly that was.
• 12:03
  That was his version of Rocky going up the steps in the Art Museum in
• 12:07
  Philadelphia. That was that was. Well, anybody's ever been weird and drove
• 12:09
  up Powerhouse, He'll you know, it's one of those things you only want
• 12:13
  to do once. Anyway. Yeah, so all of that, So what
• 12:16
  about your dad's influence, right, because here's a guy that played at the
• 12:20
  highest level Chicago Bears in the heyday when the Bears were the Bears. How
• 12:26
  much influence I want to mention his dad's appearance on the Super Bowl stuffle you
• 12:30
  know, yeah he was in the Super Bowl Shuffle. Yeah, absolutely,
• 12:33
  So how much of what he had done as you were growing up that you're
• 12:37
  seeing fueled you? It was I always wanted to play in the NFL,
• 12:45
  every Halloween costume, every you know, thing you do in school when when
• 12:48
  you grow up, it was always football. So it was awesome to bounce
• 12:52
  stuff off them. You know when you get to high school, you know,
• 12:54
  he's like, hey, have you doing this now? You know,
• 12:56
  are you working out now? You know? Are you doing you know,
• 12:58
  so to have that, you know, not having to go to the internet
• 13:01
  or I have to watch a video. Just hey, dad, what did
• 13:05
  you do? You know, what did you ask? And to be around
• 13:07
  those guys, you know those locker rooms Walter, you know, Willie Galt.
• 13:11
  Excuse me, who was the first time that uncle that's that's uncle big
• 13:18
  Unk. But you know it's so you knew him that well. Oh yeah,
• 13:20
  you know I grew up with Jared uh, Chris Simms. You know
• 13:24
  what. I'm knowing all those guys since we were little, you know,
• 13:26
  from going to Pro Bowls and going that stuff. So, you know,
• 13:30
  so handling media, you know, handling that stuff. I would see you
• 13:31
  know, him signing autographs and I would see them go to events and how
• 13:35
  people would light up, you know, light up when they were going.
• 13:37
  So I you know, since I was little, just watched that. So
• 13:39
  try to you know, have my own little you know, pick my little
• 13:43
  pieces of distance and that with that, and like you said, it was
• 13:45
  great to have that influence. That's interesting you say that. So you saw
• 13:48
  how the greats, the Walter Payton of the world handled fans, And it
• 13:54
  seems to me as though you saw that and you said, that's how I'm
• 13:56
  going to do it. Got to got to get if you have a headband,
• 13:58
  throw it to a little kid. You find you see that, you
• 14:01
  know, always speaking, especially the older elderly, just taking time. You
• 14:05
  know, there's nothing like time. I think I've seen something that um on
• 14:09
  the last dance. So Michael Jordan's talking about some of these people only have
• 14:13
  one chance where they receiving me in the hotel. That's why I wear a
• 14:16
  suit, you know, That's why you know, do do they do?
• 14:18
  Because I want that one image, you know, for them to have.
• 14:20
  I see Michael Jordan's you know. That's so that's always stuck with me.
• 14:24
  And it's important because being you know, a mountaineer obviously you know, being
• 14:28
  back only a week, oh well a month really now, but you know,
• 14:31
  just the response you get, you know, you could be in Kroger,
• 14:33
  you know, just in mind of your business. I just need to
• 14:35
  get some and then someone's yelling at you from across glad you're back, you
• 14:41
  know. Then they go about your business so or nothing like that. So
• 14:43
  if you don't know how to handle that, it could be a little overwhelming.
• 14:46
  Absolutely, And so what you're living and what you'll live is you continue
• 14:50
  to stay here. Is once a mountain, there always a mountaineer. It's
• 14:52
  true. It's actually true. It is true. I mean you and those
• 14:54
  guys that I mean, the Pat Whites, the Rashid Marshals and everyone on
• 14:58
  Schmid fill in the blanks, all those guys that the Andrew Johnson's like.
• 15:03
  It doesn't matter. It's a tattoo that lasts forever, forever, right now.
• 15:07
  Not talk about you like you're not here, even though you're sitting right
• 15:09
  here. We talked about that when he left to go to Florida, that
• 15:13
  there was going to be a void at every single event that takes place in
• 15:16
  West Virginia because you weren't there. Nobody attends more events in the state than
• 15:20
  this guy. True Athletic Club. I am free. If you guys want
• 15:22
  to get on the coach's caravan this we'd love to have you. He can
• 15:26
  negotiate. You know something absolutely, man, You imagine what you would have
• 15:30
  kicked it in nil days. Wow, Oh it's a it's a that's a
• 15:35
  great thing for these kids. You know it was it was always going to
• 15:37
  be coming. You know. I think we've just caught up with the sec
• 15:41
  Now we can just do it. You ought to go back and collect though.
• 15:46
  He should go back and say, you know, I need to be
• 15:50
  paid Retroactah, there you go for what he would have made a lot,
• 15:54
  should have made a lot. I would have should have made a lot.
• 15:56
  Just what your jersey would have done? About what your jersey was. I
• 16:00
  told I would allowed to just go to malls and just do little shows and
• 16:03
  just that kind of stuff during the summer, you know, having the work
• 16:07
  kaleidoscope. Stay in the heat. They're yelling at kids, kaleidoscope. Okay,
• 16:12
  hold only did Walter ever give you a pair of his kangaroos? I
• 16:17
  might have stole a couple, yes, but definitely the headbands and the half
• 16:21
  shirts. Yes, a lot of those, A bunch of those. When
• 16:22
  you think about that for a second, the greatest running back of all time
• 16:26
  was wearing kangaroos for a period of time. I know, if I'm not
• 16:29
  mistaken, he would go home and it's a brand unbelievable workout hill in Mississippi
• 16:36
  somewhere he would crush himself. Definitely, Definitely he started that. Jerry Rice
• 16:41
  was more of the mountains. His was like kind of like our law school
• 16:45
  hill, right, Walter Payton, remember used to go back. Here's what's
• 16:48
  amazing though, So you know the guy, you're around, the guy.
• 16:51
  You see how Grady is, But you didn't carry the ball like him.
• 16:52
  How that message get through that you can't carry that thing out there that only
• 16:56
  he does that. Don't put the ball out there? Trust me. If
• 16:57
  you the watch beat as a weird Steelers in the Peeweez, I did do
• 17:00
  that, and it only takes one coach to kind of get on you,
• 17:06
  and you know you never do that again. He tucked it. Yeah,
• 17:08
  but I've had you know, I didn't put all that together. Um,
• 17:11
  the relationships that you got with those guys and then with their kids, isn't
• 17:17
  that amazing when you start putting all that together. Yeah, it's it's awesome.
• 17:19
  It's like you said, you don't think about it. If someone asks
• 17:22
  you about it, because that's just you, oh, you know, you
• 17:25
  know, going to a golf outing. We're going to an event, you
• 17:26
  know, you just all right, let's go. So now let's just jump
• 17:30
  fifty two places to a different location. So here it is Jared Peyton,
• 17:33
  Walter's son eventually plays at Miami, and your most iconic play of all time
• 17:40
  is against Miami and kind of while how that works out and he ended up
• 17:45
  you know, obviously Frank Gore was their starting running back and she got hurt
• 17:48
  first quarter or secon quarters to play sixty seven years in the NFL security the
• 17:53
  reverse, the reverse, Uh, good for him, though, jeez,
• 17:56
  you can't stay out in college, but in sixteen years and I think I'll
• 17:59
  take sixteen years in league though, oh my goodnessledge play. But you imagine
• 18:03
  the body toll on sixteen years as a running back, No, don't you
• 18:06
  know? And when you think about him, think about that. Frank Gore,
• 18:08
  correctly if I'm wrong, is the number two all time waiting Russia.
• 18:12
  But you don't. The name doesn't stand out, right, He's the under
• 18:15
  Johnson of the NFL. Under finished his career third all time at West Virginia
• 18:22
  and Russian it never started. Wow, third all time in Russian it never
• 18:26
  started. That's trivia. It was Gorea. Freshman that year, the year
• 18:29
  you had the run. Sophomore Okay, yeah he was young. Hey on
• 18:33
  that run, Quincy's look at the run? Bring the run up? Eat
• 18:36
  And this is two thousand and three at Miami. Yes, two thousand and
• 18:41
  three. There's there's a little she. Maybe that's not look at a young
• 18:45
  rich rud Rich eighteen years old, Brandon mary Weather. They're getting ready to
• 18:49
  have his socks. N'sh trying to steal your moment here we're talking about your
• 18:52
  run. Ris she taking all the runs. Give you the ball there?
• 19:00
  Oh oh man, that was so good. You know what we said X
• 19:07
  teammate there, John Penton, Yeah, I wonder John the way you know
• 19:11
  again we talk about this. That is the greatest, i mean, the
• 19:15
  most memorable run right all time. If West Virginia wins the game, yeah,
• 19:21
  it's the old time, all time, all time. Yeah, that's
• 19:23
  kind of you want to go out on the top. Q. Here's my
• 19:26
  question. That was one of the more iconic runs in West Virginia football history.
• 19:30
  Why does Rashid get credit for a thirty three yard touchdown? Pass because
• 19:34
  technically it is a screen pass. I know. But what Rishie just like,
• 19:37
  get out of there. She she did no work? What's so none?
• 19:41
  None? You had to do it all? I mean, in fact,
• 19:44
  it might have been a lateral, but it might have been a while.
• 19:45
  I think it was the stick up for our guy though, how you
• 19:48
  smart, Let's get rid of the ball, give it to him, but
• 19:52
  give him the ball. Quincy's surrounded by six mina seven straight runs for Rashie.
• 19:56
  There here Quincy you mentioned you mentioned Gore as a sophomore. There.
• 20:03
  I think of the players they had on the field. Oh, I tell,
• 20:04
  I tell everybody, you know, the biggest conference was SEC back then
• 20:10
  you know my first year, first year, I get here is Rankel Vick,
• 20:12
  those guys ninety nine and that whole wrong. Then Miami takes over from
• 20:17
  two thousand and one, you know, to two thousand and three, when
• 20:19
  so I played in the greatest era, you know, a biggest football and
• 20:22
  and like you said, the players you know too many of the name big
• 20:26
  boy football games. Still ended up being a turning point though, and it
• 20:29
  was one of those I can remember that we were up on the roof right.
• 20:32
  Broadcast location was up on the roof. I can remember being so devastated
• 20:36
  that that didn't turn into a win, because it felt like that was going
• 20:38
  to be the moment where the flip, the switch flipped and here goes richest
• 20:42
  program and you guys were off and running and then it ends in a loss.
• 20:45
  But you guys didn't let that crush the season. In fact, it
• 20:48
  went the other way for a lot. Like the year before in Cincinnati.
• 20:52
  You know, we had that we had to hit the field goal, and
• 20:53
  we're kind at the post of questioning, you know, oh, one,
• 20:56
  we didn't do anything, and then you know the next year, we're like,
• 20:59
  oh, guy, if we don't be Cincinnati, you know what's gonna
• 21:02
  happen. And the field goal goes through and we end up you know,
• 21:04
  the season ends up going how it went. So but you know, we
• 21:08
  had such leadership, you know, Grant Walley and those guys. You know
• 21:11
  that. You know, I told everybody after the game, you know,
• 21:14
  we're gonna win the rest of our games. I just if we played how
• 21:17
  we played against the top team in the country. You know, I don't
• 21:21
  care who we play. You know, we're we're gonna, We're gonna and
• 21:22
  it just worked out that way. Now, the pick game was was was
• 21:26
  awesome. I still pick on Larry Fitzgerald about about that game. You know,
• 21:29
  we made a couple of your highsman highlights. But we got to win
• 21:32
  though, So that did galvanize the group rather than the disappointment of not getting
• 21:36
  to win. It showed you, guys, Okay, we're right there.
• 21:38
  As a coach, you know, I used that, you know with my
• 21:41
  guys. You know, like there's nothing like senior leadership. And I'd always
• 21:44
  remember Rich saying there's nothing like your senior year of football. And I know
• 21:48
  what he means, you know, because it's the culmination you've been a freshman.
• 21:52
  You know, some people play, some people don't. You know,
• 21:52
  some people get hurt, some people don't. But if you can make it
• 21:56
  through four or five years and you can look back and see it, and
• 22:00
  like I said, I looked at it and say, as much work as
• 22:02
  we put in, you know, we're gonna be fine. By the way,
• 22:04
  that Miami team in the two thousand and four drafts though, when you
• 22:07
  had six players taken in the first round, in the first round, that
• 22:15
  probably still a record. Sean h Let's see Sean Taylor who was um free
• 22:19
  safety might obviously had to catch Johnathan Vilma, DJ Williams, Vernon Carey,
• 22:30
  Evince will Four come. Six players were taken in the first round. Yeah,
• 22:36
  that was. Those guys are all backups to the guys that went before
• 22:38
  him, Ed Reid and Edill. Those guys. Those are some dudes,
• 22:41
  man. So let's let's bring people up to speed. You are back into
• 22:45
  football business. Left, you're coaching, you're at if you if you're watching
• 22:52
  his color of his shirt as the school he had, I haven't got any
• 22:56
  I haven't got any gear yet. Sot so you Yeah, that's self,
• 23:00
  that's he. That was this a self promotion here, I gotta get some
• 23:03
  gear. Running backs coach of the Fairmount State Falcons. Yes, sir,
• 23:07
  Yes, they're glad to be back. I've lone Woody for a long time.
• 23:10
  Um, talk to him, you know in Charlotte this year and you
• 23:12
  know, say anything ever comes along. You know, it's just you know,
• 23:15
  networking and uh it worked out perfect. Got the gout there here and
• 23:18
  been here a month, Um getting ready for the season here August fifth.
• 23:22
  Guys coming back and just excited. You know, it's nothing like you said.
• 23:26
  It's summer's over. I feel like, you know, everyone goes on
• 23:27
  vacation and then after vacation, you're like, all right, what are we
• 23:30
  gonna do. Let's go, let's go. You know, I want to
• 23:34
  go to myrtle. I don't want to do anything. I want football seasons.
• 23:37
  Yeah, you know, seeing these I've been watching all these media days
• 23:40
  and watching everybody. Just the juices are just like flowing and just excited to
• 23:44
  get started. It started to meet meet the guys because I said I didn't
• 23:45
  have a spring with him, but I've been talking to him and doing the
• 23:48
  zooms and all of good stuff and just ready to roll. And you know
• 23:52
  this league well obviously from all your years of Westernian States. So the year
• 23:55
  you truly are back home, not only in the state but in this league
• 23:57
  as well. The Mountis Conference, GUS already to Glenville. You no coach
• 24:00
  Huch and h five years the guys down the States. So I've seeing it
• 24:04
  evolved, you know, from Shephard, you know, being being the king
• 24:07
  Dog to now Notre Dame being one of the best teams. So I've got
• 24:11
  to ask you, so you left to become a head coach in Florida and
• 24:18
  we're trying to piece it together while you were down there. But the thing
• 24:22
  basically like imploded. Yeah, like what in the heck is going on?
• 24:26
  Is what we're saying there, So walk us through. You were going to
• 24:30
  try to do something that was difficult to begin with, you walk in or
• 24:33
  what was that deal? Uh? You know, trying to be an agent
• 24:37
  to change. You know, if I think about it, if if I'm
• 24:40
  here trying to do what I was doing, it's perfect because I have resources,
• 24:42
  I know where to go, I know who to talk to. This
• 24:45
  is every high school coach. You know, I can I can pick the
• 24:48
  dots and all that stuff. But going to South Florida, I have no
• 24:52
  South Florida ties. So everything I did was new. You know, it
• 24:55
  was like, hey, who's this? People? Who do I talk to?
• 24:56
  Who? So? Um, you know we got you know, got
• 25:00
  you know through you know the basically state of played football before. But just
• 25:04
  like football and then they were trying to jump into any I A and anyone
• 25:07
  that's been with any IA. You know, it's the wild wild West.
• 25:10
  Yes it is. Yes, there's not many rules, there's just you know,
• 25:14
  if they can get them, if you can get into school, you
• 25:15
  know, I had guys that played semi pro football. They were like,
• 25:18
  oh, yeah, I got I'm coming in and I'm like, it's just
• 25:22
  legal, and they're like, yeah, it's legal. So I'm like,
• 25:26
  okay, okay, all right. So uh but you know, we got
• 25:30
  got a chance to play game, went down and played Erskine then got up
• 25:33
  there, which to me was an accomplishment in itself from what we dealt with
• 25:37
  from January to September and then no, it just wasn't a good fit for
• 25:41
  me in the university, you know, so we just decided to part ways.
• 25:44
  But in the end, coaching, you know, it's just one of
• 25:45
  those life lessons. You know. It's one of those things where any job
• 25:48
  you do, whether it's head coach, you know, whatever, you know,
• 25:52
  you just do your research. You know, you talk to people,
• 25:53
  Hey, if you work there, what is it like? You know.
• 25:56
  And I was just so excited and so ready to be a coach, so
• 26:00
  ready. I don't care, I don't care if we don't got anything,
• 26:03
  We'll make it happen. Right. I was a dreamer, but that's me,
• 26:06
  you know, And I would do it again in a minute, do
• 26:08
  it again in a minute. You know, it's just how I'm wired and
• 26:11
  know. So you know it didn't work out, but it ended up working
• 26:14
  out for me because, like I said, I'm back home and getting a
• 26:17
  chance, like you said, to be back in the conference and excited for
• 26:19
  the next chapter. So as you just said, you're forty two and it's
• 26:25
  late July and it's time to play ball. So your wick still really is
• 26:30
  burning for this game of football. Yeah, what is it that makes you
• 26:34
  love this? What are you getting out of this? I think it is
• 26:38
  the opportunity to change young men's lives. And that's always been I look at
• 26:42
  it, and I'm going I've always recruited, you know, more of the
• 26:45
  inner city. I haven't gone into Compton or Watch, but Pittsburgh and you
• 26:49
  know, Columbus and Baltimore and DC and these kids. If Coach Wilson is
• 26:53
  not offering him a scholarship, he's not going to do anything. And I
• 26:56
  look at these moms, I look at these grandmas or look at you know,
• 27:00
  these families, and you know they're really depending on me. Coach.
• 27:03
  You know, I'm sending you my son take care of them. And I
• 27:06
  love that responsibility. I love that. I love a chance to see a
• 27:10
  kid that's eighteen, a little bit immature. Maybe it hasn't been coached hard.
• 27:14
  Maybe you know, just need someone to believe in them and to say,
• 27:17
  hey, I'm the one who believes in you. I'm gonna think you're
• 27:19
  gonna do greater things and you can even imagine and let's go. Now,
• 27:23
  can you save everybody? No? And that's one of the hardest parts,
• 27:26
  you know, because you want to say, hey, okay, coach,
• 27:30
  he's not gonna do it. Coach, he's not gonna do it. You
• 27:32
  just yes, the natural instinct of just you want to save them. You
• 27:36
  want to save them. So when I early my early coaching, that's what
• 27:38
  I struggle with, you know, and I had a kid who just wasn't
• 27:41
  gonna do it, wasn't gonna do it an outside of me walking into class.
• 27:45
  You know, I just couldn't not do that. And but there's so
• 27:49
  many other kids that it does work for, So you know, that's what
• 27:52
  keeps you going. For that one kid that doesn't that one bad apple,
• 27:56
  there's always forty other guys who did that. So how do you make That's
• 28:00
  really fascinating because when you're recruiting a kid and you think, you know how
• 28:04
  much are you assigning to we need this kid because he's a player and he's
• 28:08
  got skills. And then how much is boy, this kid needs some help
• 28:14
  and I need to be a mentor to him. And then do you ever
• 28:15
  find yourself saying, you know, he's not the best player, but he
• 28:18
  needs a mentor. I mean, that's it's tough, you know, because
• 28:22
  at our level, you know, we need everybody. You know, Oh,
• 28:25
  really, okay, we need You know, there's a kid that you
• 28:27
  think, you know, you really got to do your homework. You know,
• 28:30
  you talk to the coach and you talk to him like, you know,
• 28:33
  can we see this happening? You know, does he just need structure
• 28:37
  or is he does he you know, what does he need to get away
• 28:38
  from where his situation? So you're always weighing at and then a lot of
• 28:41
  times you just don't know it too. You get him there, Yeah,
• 28:44
  you just hey, we're gonna take a chance with it and hopefully, you
• 28:47
  know, he can get through it. Hopefully he figures it out. Yeah,
• 28:48
  we've asked you this, excuse me before when you've been on but I'm
• 28:52
  fascinated by the answer. So when you come in here and you sit with
• 28:56
  us, we talk to you, and we can go back, as we
• 28:57
  just did, to your weird days and remember you playing in high school and
• 29:02
  in college and in the NFL. But these guys you're coaching now have no
• 29:07
  idea what you did in the past. So how do you marry that?
• 29:11
  Here's how good I was, and here's how the knowledge that I gained there
• 29:15
  translates over to helping you when you're dealing with a subset of kids that doesn't
• 29:19
  just know you on its surface. How do you how do you marry those
• 29:22
  things up. I've always done it. I always wanted it to happen organically.
• 29:26
  I've never wanted to be a guy who come in I was all conferends
• 29:29
  and I was a player of the year and just just don't wear your Bengal
• 29:32
  shirt into the first year. I don't. But it's always awesome. You
• 29:34
  know, you're you're you're out in December, You're going to these high schools.
• 29:37
  You talk to kids, you get them in a room like this,
• 29:38
  and you know four or six guys and then after coach man, you were,
• 29:45
  you were, you were a bad dude. Man. You know what,
• 29:48
  Man, I've seen it. So I've always wanted to happen organically,
• 29:51
  so because I want them to want to know. It's like with anything.
• 29:52
  And I always tell guys like, when you're dating the girl, you don't
• 29:56
  wait for the girl to come you. You see her, Hey, what
• 29:57
  are you doing? How are you doing? What your name? You know
• 29:59
  you're you're going after them. So and that's how I want the recruiting because
• 30:02
  that's how I know that you're really interested. So any kid that's gonna do
• 30:04
  homework on me, I'm thinking, well, that kid is one of the
• 30:07
  guys I want to do it is. That's that's good. That's good.
• 30:11
  What's it take to be successful at the Division two level. You've played at
• 30:15
  the highest level, you've played the NFL, you've played obviously Power five at
• 30:19
  this level D two, what do you need to win it? I think
• 30:23
  it's development in structure. Obviously, we are very understaffed, we're very you
• 30:29
  know, uh, you know, resources aren't aren't what it is at the
• 30:32
  D one level, But you know, I think development, you know,
• 30:37
  we get a kid, you know, I see you know, for me,
• 30:38
  I see a running back who maybe is not five level, he's five
• 30:42
  nine, maybe one eighty, but already I could see the burst. I
• 30:45
  could see the quickness. Okay, so I can teach him something. We
• 30:48
  see a receiver. You know, you're always trying to find the outliers,
• 30:51
  you know with that because if he was that, he's going to Maryland,
• 30:53
  he's going to w anyways. So I think you know, you're seeing that
• 30:57
  and then having a plan for that kid that you really say every semester because
• 31:02
  now we're in a semester. It's not a year by year. We're kind
• 31:04
  of semester semester with these kids a week the week but every fault examply yeah,
• 31:08
  yeah, but every fall. You know, in the fall, okay,
• 31:11
  this is where you're at, This is where you can get spring,
• 31:15
  this is where you're at, and this is where he can be. So
• 31:17
  now this kid, like I said, believes in you, and now he
• 31:19
  wants he wants to continue because I think, you know, everyone's always talks
• 31:22
  about the portal, the port of the portal, and I think you know
• 31:25
  the portal there's always been transfers. No, I don't know where people act
• 31:29
  like, you know, the transferporter came out of nowhere. You know,
• 31:30
  everybody you know could get in the port And now it's a lot more prevalent.
• 31:33
  But I think it becomes like always use my situation again. I sat
• 31:38
  behind the greatest running back in the history of West Virginia football, Aumon Coburn,
• 31:42
  Russian Russier, and I easily could have said, well, hey,
• 31:45
  he's gonna be your four years. He was a freshman. I was freshman
• 31:48
  and go. But I took the challenge to say, well, hey,
• 31:52
  how do I get on this field? And then I showed. I kept
• 31:55
  working. I kept working, and all of a sudden, there's a two
• 31:56
  back set out there where you know, we're kicking people's butt, you know,
• 31:59
  so you know, but so I tell kids, you know, it's
• 32:01
  not your Your career is not going to always go how you think it's gonna
• 32:05
  go, you know. And I think that's the biggest perception. You know,
• 32:07
  you gotta break. Okay. I understand your goals. I understand what
• 32:10
  you want to do, but this is reality. Okay, And how do
• 32:14
  and how do we get better? Like you said week to week? Now,
• 32:16
  how can we get better this? You know? I want my guys
• 32:19
  when we go into camp, I'm not worried about no Bloomsberg our first game.
• 32:22
  I want you guys to get as mentally prepared and ready for the season
• 32:25
  as you can, you know, because we don't get to have the summer
• 32:29
  programs and all that stuff, so we'll have to do some conditioning things and
• 32:30
  all that kind of stuff to get ready. But that's all I want them
• 32:32
  worry about. Don't worry about homecoming, you know, just keep them,
• 32:36
  keep them on that singular focus and then when this game week, okay,
• 32:39
  now we can transition to our to our next part. And I found that's
• 32:43
  work for our guys because they're gonna put pressure on themselves anyways. You know,
• 32:47
  I'm supposed to do this, so I'm supposed to do that, and
• 32:50
  you just kind of really mend you know, hey, you know, I
• 32:52
  know that's what you're thinking about. But this is what's really what matters right
• 32:55
  now. Yeah, three guys before the game is brought to us by the
• 32:59
  Burdett camp being a center continuing to offer an unbelievable ten thousand dollars off the
• 33:05
  amazing Forest River Travel trailer and toy hauler. That's right, ten thousand American
• 33:10
  dollars off. Visit Burdette Camping at Burdette Camping dot com. That is Burdette
• 33:16
  Camping dot com and Brad As we've talked about. One of the great highlights
• 33:23
  on that ten thousand dollars off deal is that thirty by seventy two in sleepers
• 33:29
  so fuzz and that big old awning that it's got power awning. I think
• 33:35
  you have power on it, ye, power owning three guys. Also brought
• 33:38
  to us by Comax Digital. Comax Digital phone systems competitively priced using the most

• 34:06
  out there at risk. They'll make yourself, make yourself safe and secure.
• 34:09
  It's Komak's business systems. Why so let's do this. So don Neelen recruited
• 34:16
  you, that Rich Rode came in, So you saw it from two of
• 34:23
  the old time. Why do you think don Neelan was successful? Why was
• 34:28
  rich Rodriguez successful? They coached differently. Well, I think that when Kneeland
• 34:34
  was here, you know, that staff had been together for almost twenty years,
• 34:37
  so you know that's obviously a nomaly. Now was so a lot of
• 34:40
  you know, the last two years with coach Heillen. You know, he
• 34:44
  wasn't what a coach that he wasn't in the nineties. I've always talked to
• 34:45
  guys, you know, you're running the guys like, oh man, you
• 34:49
  guys got the best to coach Neilon because you know he was really a fiery
• 34:52
  guy. But his just genuineness to him. You know, every every every
• 34:57
  player that ever sees Coach Neilen, they can't wait to get up up there
• 35:00
  and hug him, you know, grab on him. You know they can't
• 35:02
  because it's just that's just what it was. You know, he taught that.
• 35:06
  He taught you about pit first. First thing. He's like the pit.
• 35:07
  There's a little pit. You know, he's trying to get out.
• 35:10
  You know. He taught you, you know, taught you what was important.
• 35:13
  And then he taught you why the state is important, you know,
• 35:15
  taking us over the children's hospital and doing all that stuff and building all that
• 35:20
  base into us. So even if you know you aren't not playing or you're
• 35:22
  not not you believe you still believe in something else, you know, and
• 35:25
  that and he was just great. And then when Coach Rock comes, you
• 35:30
  know, he brought the excitement and that energy and that new offense because we
• 35:32
  were spread before there were spread, you know, you know that no,
• 35:36
  no, what spread, what spreads become? Now I think it's the air
• 35:37
  rate. Now that's the new rage. But now we were you know,
• 35:40
  kind of evolving that with that. But we ran the ball, you know,
• 35:45
  so it was different because everybody's like, man, we were spread run
• 35:47
  team, but that's what we were. Power spread, power spread and the
• 35:51
  Rashid and those guys get out there and kJ Colson and all those guys.
• 35:54
  You know, we had so much fun just going up and down, running
• 35:58
  down the sideline. So um. But Coach Rod taught us no structure,
• 36:01
  you know, knowing everybody's name. You had to learn Lourie and miss Kim
• 36:06
  and everybody's name, and that you wouldn't think at twenty years old that's important,
• 36:09
  but it is, you know now you know, it's you know,
• 36:13
  stuff that I look back on now then some of the stuff I instituted into
• 36:15
  Now, hey, learn learn your teacher's name. Learn that because it may
• 36:20
  help you, you know, they might want to help you know you,
• 36:22
  hey, you might need something. They're more apt to help you when they
• 36:24
  genuine got some feelings for you. When you guys were practicing, who was
• 36:30
  the player on defense that you um Man disliked the most, disliked the most.
• 36:36
  Oh, Grant Walley, all American and since of all American hit when
• 36:39
  you're supposed to be thought and he played hard like when it was when it
• 36:44
  was whistle to whistle, you know. And that's my best friends is to
• 36:47
  call him anytime. But when it was football time, it was football time.
• 36:52
  You know, I am trying to rip your head off. He does.
• 36:55
  I mean you remember, oh yeah, he corkscrewed him during two days.
• 37:00
  Like I never saw anything like it, Like it was. I grew
• 37:04
  up in the grass practice field and like I'm watching and he gets them and
• 37:07
  starts spinning them like you're gonna put a cork into the ground. And I
• 37:09
  went like and like I said, we practice you. Like I said,
• 37:14
  I'm sure you can look go to a practice now and go look back on
• 37:16
  the day, night and day. You know we were pads. You know,
• 37:20
  I looked at it. I'd always tell Danny, like hide the goal,
• 37:23
  Hide those gold pants. We don't want to wear them because you know,
• 37:27
  we knew what was coming. You know, we knew it was coming.
• 37:29
  And but that's what we needed though. I think he knew we had
• 37:32
  to be tough, grinded kind of you know, Mike Larello type guys that
• 37:36
  just grinders, punch you in the face type, you know type guys.
• 37:38
  And and that that was our that was us, that was our our Niche
• 37:43
  take about one hundred Michaelarello's. He was one of the best. Silence just
• 37:47
  just just always in the right place, right time, probably only about exactly.
• 37:52
  And that was that was the identity. And you'd hear that when you
• 37:57
  interviewed play by play guys or coaches some other teams. We know when we
• 38:00
  come to West Virginia, what you're gonna get. You're gonna get punched in
• 38:02
  the mouth. Yeah, yeah, oh yeah. And that was through Don
• 38:06
  Neelon too. It was always that blue collar, that blue collar mentality,
• 38:09
  hoppy you go, Stacy Smith, Travis Curtis, all those guys. They
• 38:13
  would come in and just take your absolute fillings out of your teeth. That
• 38:16
  was West Virginia football. That's what it needed to be. Like, oh
• 38:20
  why do we have to deal with this? Yeah, I don't know the
• 38:22
  picture of the Miami guy who's getting cracked back on, Yeah, Chris Brown
• 38:25
  and it was Tim Tim Brown was hitting the receiver. It was Chris Brown.
• 38:30
  His feet straight up in their perpendicular to the ground. You see black
• 38:32
  and white feathers. You're like, oh my god, who he was a
• 38:36
  bad boy? That was Tim Brown. Yeah, the Orlando those gays bring
• 38:39
  it. Yeah. Absolutely, So you're here and you're at Fairmount like,
• 38:45
  Okay, you're, as you said earlier, like you're always looking optimistically.
• 38:50
  You're always looking at what do you want to do if you want to stay
• 38:51
  in this world? Yeah? You know what, if I've learned anything in
• 38:54
  coaching that whenever job comes to you is gonna come to you. It's not
• 38:58
  one of those things that it's gonna be on and you're just gonna loved to
• 39:01
  apply to that. That sounds great, man benefits and health, that sounds
• 39:06
  awesome. So every job I've ever had, I've never applied for. You
• 39:08
  know, it's just, hey, I got a position, what do you
• 39:12
  think? So be awesome? Like I said, a guy obviously getting the
• 39:15
  taste of being the head coach, would absolutely love to do that. But
• 39:19
  I'm I'm a servant leader, you know, So if it, if it,
• 39:21
  if it calls on me to be a position coach or a coordinator and
• 39:24
  never get the head coaching job again, I'll be happy because I'm still coaching,
• 39:29
  still doing what I love. But I always gonna be optimistic, um,
• 39:31
  always gonna be ready for whatever's next. Be prepared, you know,
• 39:35
  And like I said, we'll see what happens physically. How are you?
• 39:38
  You heard it all? No? No good? I loved work out.
• 39:43
  I get up six am every every morning and work out and days a week.
• 39:46
  You lift man heavy probably once a week, but I'll probably lift probably
• 39:51
  three or four times a week, just depending what you're doing for cardio.
• 39:54
  We hell getting back here is I can get on these heels again. Now
• 40:00
  you're old. Do we have any yoga mixed in there? You can't just
• 40:01

• 42:30
  It was a concession standing right there west Bank over. It was like
• 42:32
  five minutes to go in that game, which is pretty much already determined.
• 42:36
  So I walked up there. Yeah, and there's like four people working in
• 42:38
  the concession stand, no customers, and so I I kind of always said,
• 42:43
  now, what isn't that thing that I was just gonna say? He
• 42:46
  didn't just walk up and say I'd like a Pepperonia, just got a whole
• 42:50
  court. Yeah, okay, go ahead. So they said Pepperini said any
• 42:52

• 43:15
  I went to the movies the other day. Twenty four bucks. Twenty four
• 43:20
  bucks. You went to the movies. Yeah, you wo a movie theater.
• 43:22
  Yeah, Oppenheimer, Oppenheimer, you've seen that. I have not yet.
• 43:28
  I was always a lot of people talking about that, dude to me,
• 43:30
  and you never go to the movies. Now, last one I think
• 43:32
  I saw it was like Old Yeller, but like Oppenheimer, not a movie.
• 43:38
  It's a film. That's a film. It's just like Holy Potatoes.
• 43:44
  Yeah as great. Yeah, well I'm a history gast. Oh you'd love
• 43:46
  this, dude. I definitely want to check that West Virginia connection because they're
• 43:50
  talking about heavy water, and they made heavy water in Morgantown right over Intown
• 43:55
  Industrial Park, the Industrial park, Morgantown Industrial Park, they made heavy water
• 43:59
  for the hydrogen bomb. Yeah, so it's all there, and now they
• 44:02
  don't mention Morgantown, but that is in the whole reality. That's the old
• 44:06
  Ruby factory Sterling No, right across the river. It was like they built
• 44:10
  a factory just like Wink Wink wink, we're building a factory. Yeah,
• 44:16
  they thought it was something, but it was something else. I think I
• 44:20
  gotta let me check check. So if you're going to the TBT Thursday,
• 44:22
  if you're listening us before there, you recommend the Pepperoni role at West Bank
• 44:25
  Arena. Yeah, and the people I'm not near fans are service. Was
• 44:29
  I listened the game. It sounds it was noise. I mean it was
• 44:30
  it was some. Yeah, it was good. It was good. I
• 44:35
  think that's exciting to know whoever thought of that is a genius. Am ending
• 44:38
  right the way it ends. I mean, just getting guys back. I
• 44:42
  think I've seen Levan. It was fields point guards field. I'm just like,
• 44:46
  oh my god. It just takes you back into his Sam Young and
• 44:50
  Levan's fields. You're looking at it going like and what was special last night
• 44:52
  was the entire current pit team was there behind the basket. Both Capel brothers
• 44:58
  were back there and those guys yapped the entire game at the herd. Bad
• 45:01
  guys. There was some great talking. There was some great talking going on
• 45:06
  all game long, Marshall fans or the Marshall players back and forth with the
• 45:09
  current pit team. It was good theater. That's it was a a remember
• 45:15
  the West Virginia House of Delegates who was asked to um leave the game?
• 45:21
  I saw someone. I saw someone asked to leave. I didn't know who
• 45:22
  it was. Yeah, huh uh. You've never been asked to leave anything,
• 45:29
  have you, Quincy. You've always behaved. I've always Sean flew Hardy,
• 45:31
  Okay, we'll get Sean flew Hardy. And I texted him this morning.
• 45:35
  I said, what the heck happened? And he said, I was
• 45:37
  just drawing, drawn with the Pitt guys. Why can't you jaw with the
• 45:39
  pit guys. Given Pitt guys, Griffins, it's a valid argument, I
• 45:43
  can't. I'm not criticizing. I'm just saying I was just confirming asked to
• 45:45
  building, he saw the majority of the game of talking was going on all
• 45:49
  over. That's okay, that's fine. Love the trash. That's bad.
• 45:52
  That's basketball. That it is basketball, that's one sport is actually allowed that
• 45:55
  thing. Yeah, that's yeah, it is. I mean that's just part
• 45:59
  some or basketball more so than any summer. Basketball is all taught. That's
• 46:05
  part of it. You go to, you go into like Rutger Park,
• 46:07
  you go to the big places across the United States, and it's just a
• 46:09
  constant yeap fest. Guys with microphones out there, PA systems who part part
• 46:15
  of the culture of summer basketball in that it was it was, and it
• 46:17
  was it was good natured. I mean Coach Stevenson after he hit the game
• 46:22
  winner, went directly down and had a little apt session. I thought he
• 46:24
  was well behaved, as I produce. But after the game he had been
• 46:28
  storing that up there for a while. He brought it. As soon as
• 46:30
  that game winner went in, he broke from the celebration and went the other
• 46:32
  way. Did he come from from the G League and just change uniforms and
• 46:37
  start playing and just said, let's go give me the ball. I got
• 46:38
  it. Tell you what made a shot? We'll talk about they got.
• 46:42
  They got their hands full in game two, they got their hands they I
• 46:49
  said last sign on their broadcast. They must have had some nice nil money
• 46:52
  set aside, because they've gone out and probably in a couple additions to their
• 46:55
  roster. Really good layed at Houston million dollars. It looked like, yeah,
• 47:00
  the goodness they were. They baseline was open for business. You know
• 47:05
  how they say Hoppy West Virginia open for business for business baseline, those guys
• 47:09
  weren't coming to back on defense and that baseline was a dunk fest. Ten
• 47:13
  dunks last night. Is that what they had tend to believe. It'll be
• 47:15
  a fun game Thursday night, Best Virginia heard that if you want to go
• 47:19
  up to West Banko Arena, you can do it a couple of ways.

• 52:09
  just I mean he got he got married in Yeah, I'm aware of that
• 52:15
  during football season, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, he missed a broadcast
• 52:19
  with us because he's getting marry God forbid. Um so yeah, he said
• 52:22
  straight reads one of the all time greats. Yes, take about four coach
• 52:27
  he coached with us down there first year, I take four hundred to him
• 52:30
  and just say give me read Williams as if like for every year, I'll
• 52:31
  take read Williams is. Yeah, it's just super smart again development. You
• 52:36
  know, think of Zach Cooper, the guys like that. He's a state
• 52:38
  trooper now and you would never think he played football. Just nice to sim
• 52:42
  But Barrow's you know, he build you. He's like just getting We'll build
• 52:45
  you up and read read was season surgery, season surgery, season, surgery,
• 52:51
  just kept coming. I just kept coming. How about this cat?
• 52:53
  How many times you've been cut? Oh? Three times? Three times?
• 52:58
  Need you ever have an blows in the spring game? In the spring game,
• 53:01
  spring game, first second play something like that in the spring What are
• 53:06
  you doing taking hits in this well? You know what my running style was?
• 53:08
  You know, I'm not going down, so typical me. One guy
• 53:12
  hanging on the back, another guy on my other, you know, and
• 53:15
  just get sliced down, you know. Oh it was I remember, and
• 53:20
  it was like a Paul fell throughout the entire stated was like, because we
• 53:24
  always say the most important thing is the spring game that the trainers never go
• 53:29
  onto the field. Yeah, that's a good spring game as when the trainers
• 53:31
  don't go out onto the field. I told Dave, I was like,
• 53:34
  I want to walk off, but you know, he wouldn't let me know.
• 53:37
  And that was such a that was a whole season. You were done.
• 53:39
  Yep, yep, hate it, but yeah, I'm glad it happened
• 53:43
  early though, because I, like I said, I know some guys that
• 53:45
  mister senior years and yeah, so remind me, then what did that do
• 53:50
  by you sitting out the year depth chart wise, because you mentioned Avon's played
• 53:53
  as a freshman, right, So ninety nine was my freshman year, so
• 53:57
  me, Lance Frazier and Brian King were don't eat and then that and then
• 54:04
  that fallowing spring is when I got hurt. So um miss um the two
• 54:07
  thousand seasons, so last year was back for a one the richest first season
• 54:13
  you were there richer, Like I said, it happened early, you know,
• 54:15
  and then like I sat out the season, but if I had to
• 54:20
  come back in practice, I could, but I was like again having a
• 54:22
  father, no rush spring. So that that's a huge moment in the history
• 54:29
  of WUV football. So Don's last year, they win the bowl game and
• 54:34
  here comes Rich and Brad Lewis obviously was the quarterback and written Don's last grouping
• 54:42
  and then Rich comes in and he's going to change the entire style. Three
• 54:47
  wins, right, yeah, yeah, three, and so like could you
• 54:54
  tell what, like what was the inner dialogue of the players when that was
• 55:00
  all happening, because three wins is not here. Yeah, winter conditioning was
• 55:05
  very interesting and eye opening. Uh, summer was interesting, but again seeing
• 55:10
  it, like I said, I was always kind of a big guy.
• 55:13
  I'd like to say big, but you know I came in two hundred and
• 55:15
  five pounds, which is decently big for running back these years. And once
• 55:21
  Bar with them guys, I was two twenty five like like that, you
• 55:22
  know, it was just like boom, you know, they put it,
• 55:24
  they put it on you. So for those you don't know bars, Mike
• 55:28
  Barr, he has great gim Jim down Deerfoot Beach still doing amazing train trains
• 55:34
  everybody, but I seen it, We've seen it. You know, we
• 55:38
  didn't know if it was gonna relate. And like I said, that's kind
• 55:39
  of what, like I said, once you know that first year, you
• 55:43
  know, and even if the two thousand year, you know, that's Miami
• 55:45
  National champions. I think Maryland went to the Orange Bowl. We played Notre
• 55:49
  Dame I think was on you know, we played a pretty tough schedule at
• 55:52
  that I think we played five ranked teams in a row something crazy. But
• 55:57
  but we were getting we were putting chips and we're putting chips in the pop
• 56:00
  exactly. And then, like I said, Cincinnati, we finally get.
• 56:04
  You know, we went out. I think we went up to Wisconsin and
• 56:06
  kind of got it was like, oh no, here we go again.
• 56:07
  And then that next week was like boom, here he goes. Everything we've
• 56:10
  been doing the last year and a half, that's paid off. Why was
• 56:15
  Mike Barr was successful at what he did. I think he coached not for
• 56:21
  fear, but you had such a respect for him and you if he told
• 56:24
  you you can bench two twenty five and jump on a ball and make it.
• 56:29
  You believed it, you know, you just you didn't question you know
• 56:31
  anything he said. You believed, you believed it, and you would try.
• 56:35
  All right. Well, you know he was always you know if you're
• 56:37
  it was Max Day. You always was like trying to hide from Mike because
• 56:39
  he's like, I think you can do you know six fifty five you're Mike,
• 56:44
  that's kind of that's kind of crazy. But you tried it, you
• 56:45
  know, you just that's what that's what you did, you know. And
• 56:49
  he's just great, great great man, great family guy. Just love that
• 56:52
  guy. So am I correct that Like he he was like super like for
• 57:00
  what for what it was, whether it was kickboxing or black belt or whatever,
• 57:04
  like if anyone ever tried to come like oh, he would always take
• 57:07
  on like didn't matter if it was the biggest linemen or the baddest dude,
• 57:12
  if they ever made a move toward him, like matter three seconds. Someone
• 57:15
  challenged him once in a locker room and he and he handled it, and
• 57:17
  it's like everybody's like, yeah, I can't remember the gaps that urban legend,
• 57:22
  No, that was happenin story. He took guys down. He had
• 57:25
  a pet. I got a friend that went to school with him and he
• 57:29
  had he went on vacation or something, was leaving town for the basic Can
• 57:31
  you watch my pet? He goes, Yeah, So guy goes over to
• 57:36
  his house. He watched his dog. What it was a wolf? It
• 57:39
  was a wolf. Yeah, he had a wolf. His pet was a
• 57:45
  wolf. So that kind of just fills you out his mindset. Yeah,
• 57:49
  that was his masset. But I mean in any program, that's why their
• 57:52
  first hire is the strict coach, because it's the most important position in any
• 57:55
  any sport. Yeah, he was. I mean he was like an electrical
• 58:00
  plug that was always plugged in. Just a lot. Some of his YouTube
• 58:04
  stuff where he would take one breath and just and just talk. It's legendary.
• 58:09
  And now so is he is he doing? I know Greg Jones is
• 58:12
  in that same build down, Like I said, I was. I was
• 58:15
  fortunate because I was in Popping the beach and Deerfoot Beach is the next time
• 58:16
  over, so I would go over there to mess with those guys a bunch.
• 58:21
  He's got the guy, Jim. I mean, it's awesome and he's
• 58:24
  doing tremendous amount. We need to get him on. He's doing tremendous amounts
• 58:28
  of things with people that have been paralyzed. And we started with Michigan with
• 58:30
  the young guy who's brother it was in a car wreck and he's his own
• 58:35
  goal was to get him out there. And now it's all they have all
• 58:37
  kinds, they have a whole wing of that. So wow, it's awesome.
• 58:40
  He's really tapped in to you know what it takes to get those people
• 58:45
  functioning and walking and you know, doing all that good stuff. Yeah,
• 58:50
  that's amazing stuff, amazing stuff. He'd be a good he'd be a great
• 58:52
  guy to have on here. He'd has some stories for you. We gotta
• 58:55
  get on that. That'd be a good one. That whole crew, Damnes
• 59:00
  and all those guys. Yeah, oh yeah, they had a TV show
• 59:02
  for a while. Oh I know Dusty was in it. Oh yeah,
• 59:06
  another legend. Yeah, Dusty's down, were down with Like I said,
• 59:10
  pipe piper. Yeah, Rich blows that flute. Riches riches kind of like
• 59:15
  Blues Brothers when they when they drove and they kind of make the stops like
• 59:19
  Acaroid and Blusha. They'd pull in and you know Macatar, Murphy's in the
• 59:22
  back cooking chicken and like um, Aretha Franklin's working the front counter and they
• 59:27
  she sees him come in and she goes, knew they were coming to get
• 59:30
  Macutar Murphy that we're Gettim back into the band. And that's kind of how
• 59:34
  the rich, as you said, like Riches goes like do like mister softy
• 59:37
  ice cream man, like they all just come running out there and go,
• 59:39
  we're gonna go do it again. Guys takes care of his gas. Yeah,
• 59:44
  I always ass interesting. All right, well this is good. You
• 59:46
  have any questions for us before we do textual healing? How are my mountaineer
• 59:51
  is gonna be this year? For us? Well, how are they going
• 59:54
  to be? No? Seriously, so dude, as you well know what
• 59:58
  is it always it's always turnover margin and it's always seeing those preseason rankings.
• 1:00:04
  I know that's got a fire. Any any young lad up and you know,
• 1:00:07
  conference leaving and I'm sir, it's an interesting time to be in the
• 1:00:12
  Big twelve. And again I was here when we jumped in, so twelve,
• 1:00:15
  sous, you know that part of your success was a fact you had
• 1:00:20
  a good quarterback he had for sheet. Yeah, you know, so I
• 1:00:22
  mean you got it. I mean the quarterback. You got a couple of
• 1:00:25
  guys, but neither you don't know if either one is going to be the
• 1:00:30
  guy. And that's the most important guy in the field. Yep it is.
• 1:00:32
  But you know, I'm always optimistic. You know. You see him
• 1:00:36
  beat Oklahoma State, you see him beat some of these teams, you know,
• 1:00:39
  in the rain and on the road, and you know, like you
• 1:00:42
  said, I'm like, we hey, you know, if we can get
• 1:00:44
  that together, you know, old lineman coming to Bay, this would be
• 1:00:47
  a great year for you all the one hundred big nester. I was like,
• 1:00:52
  man, if I could have ran behind you, brother, is gonna
• 1:00:54
  be nice. Goodness. Fraser upfront on the best returning centers in college football.
• 1:00:59
  Yeah, local bile him on the left side. You know. Quinn
• 1:01:00
  Quincy is his senior year. He every just twenty two carries a game.
• 1:01:05
  Oh yeah, that's back when men were men. Yeah, giving the ball.
• 1:01:08
  That's back when Richards rich had something working fall. Oh yeah, most
• 1:01:13
  consecutive carries you had in the game, thing nine nine nine. Pitt carried
• 1:01:22
  the ball nine times in a row. You know, I wonder he show
• 1:01:27
  me you can stop it, keep coming, keep coming until give me a
• 1:01:30
  Quincy. You can stop him White, Pat White in the ball game.
• 1:01:34
  I'd love to go back and count how many he had. Oh my gosh,
• 1:01:36
  I mean I always say, I mean, I just I hurt.
• 1:01:38
  I hurt watching him play because Rich just kept going, give it to him
• 1:01:42
  again, give it to him again, give it to him him. We're
• 1:01:44
  not giving the ball back. We're just gonna hold down to the ball.
• 1:01:45
  We're gonna win the game. And that was it. Holy heck was that
• 1:01:49
  painful? Pat? Give it Pat? Stand up talking? Well, he
• 1:01:52
  was getting up. They just like bad, like you look like just I'm
• 1:01:57
  hurting. I'm hurting here, give it to him again. You were probably
• 1:02:00
  loving that nine though, weren't you. You're like, let's go especially that
• 1:02:06
  game. Like I said, I don't know if people realize how that rivalry
• 1:02:09
  was, you know with Pitt, you know Tony o'bryants and the russ of
• 1:02:13
  Firds, and obviously Larry Fitzgerald played, you know a little bit. You've
• 1:02:15
  got to know him. Larry's a great guy. How do you know how
• 1:02:19
  do you get to know him? Though? Just through no contacts in the
• 1:02:22
  NFL events? Um his brother was at Marshall, uh so knew him,
• 1:02:27
  knew him a bunch, so this great guy but ended him. A couple
• 1:02:30
  of years ago, I was down at the Greenbrier golf tournament. He was
• 1:02:34
  there playing. He his waist is like twenty nine inches, you know,
• 1:02:39
  and his shoulders are like this. I mean he's he isn't like in perfect
• 1:02:43
  shape, perfect got a perfect build. He's a pretty good player. Like
• 1:02:49
  I said, anytime you can play more than four years and first best,
• 1:02:53
  no doubt, you think it bothers in the Pennington made a better catch.
• 1:02:57
  And again I think it does a competitor like that, you always remember those
• 1:03:04
  little things. The greatest of the greats. I mean, he is one
• 1:03:07
  of the all time. We did a thing this season where summer where we
• 1:03:10
  said who are the greatest receivers all time that have played at Mountaineerfield opposing team
• 1:03:15
  and he, I mean it's him, and it's Randy Moss and Michael Irvin.
• 1:03:19
  Those are the three. Those are the three and pick just receivers.
• 1:03:23
  Those three receivers Moss, Fitzgerald and Michael Irvin. Three We record on the

  Either he's a Williamstown guy. He's a Williamstown guy. Oh, he went
• 1:10:06
  to Williamstown. Yeah, he's a yellow jacket. Yeah, but he says
• 1:10:10
  he's from but he says he's from parkers Or how does he claimed Parkersburg if
• 1:10:13
  he went to west That's that's the kind of thing, Like you from west
• 1:10:15
  Over and he's I'm from Morgan. Oh I always Quincy might not? I
• 1:10:19
  mean it's Quincy actually from Weirton, Yes, downtown, weird West Street.
• 1:10:25
  Okay, thank you very much. Three guys, homeplay still there? Yeah?
• 1:10:33
  Is your homestildre raised homeplay still there? Yeah? Meals not but you
• 1:10:39
  know, yeah, every Yeah, the mill's gone. They're moving something in
• 1:10:43
  there. There's a big battery plant that's going in there. Oh yeah,
• 1:10:47
  I saw that. Yeah. Texter says, Hi, guys, it's been
• 1:10:51
  a while. I just wanted to say thank you for navigating what is proving
• 1:10:55
  to be a very interesting summer with the humor, humility, and insight we
• 1:10:59
  have come to expect from West Virginia's premier sports podcast. Seeing three of five
• 1:11:03
  WV linemen on the PF preseason All American list, hearing the coach Brownett media
• 1:11:09
  day, and overall considering West Virginia tends to do best. One being painted
• 1:11:13
  is down and out? Am I crazy to think a two on one start
• 1:11:17
  with a win over the fighting Nardoozies is something all mountaineer fans should be excited
• 1:11:23
  about. Maybe I'm just asked taking too many of Hoppies special gummies, But
• 1:11:30
  when I think of Kansas last year and the way they used a run first
• 1:11:32
  offense, I have a feeling the world champion Mountaineers maybe onto something. I
• 1:11:36
  hope. I'm writing thanks again for being a positive light in a difficult offseason.
• 1:11:41
  We love y'all. Signed by Benny in the Bay Area. I take
• 1:11:44
  two. I'd take two and one today today. I thought you I'd take
• 1:11:47
  two gummies today. That was earlier today, but I'd take two and one
• 1:11:51
  today. I think two and one. Obviously you'd love to be three and
• 1:11:56
  oh, but I think two and one is extremely important to be Definitely I
• 1:12:01
  take three and all, but two and one. If you can't be three
• 1:12:04
  and at two and one's extremely important because then you got Texas Tech the next
• 1:12:08
  week. Pit games shaving up to be absolutely massive. What's a line on
• 1:12:12
  that? Now? Do they do need to do any preseason lines on that
• 1:12:14
  game? How to look into that? Quincy? What would be like Penn
• 1:12:16
  State is gonna be tough. So let's just say, I know you want
• 1:12:19
  to think you win every game, maybe okay, but you lose to pinn
• 1:12:23
  State that pit game. I mean, you have to win the pit game,
• 1:12:27
  don't you think? Definitely? I think, especially after how it went
• 1:12:30
  last year. You know kind of you turn your head and all of a
• 1:12:34
  sudden you're down. I think, Um, that's that's huge. Yeah's home.
• 1:12:40
  I think. You know, I'm sure those guys are already getting hit
• 1:12:43
  up for I know how we were, you know, pit game, pick
• 1:12:45
  game, pit game, pick games. So it's already in their heads.
• 1:12:46
  Yeah, like this game is you know, very very important. Absolutely,
• 1:12:51
  text her quick, real quick. That's interesting note he makes there about that
• 1:12:55
  Kansas offense. Obviously, what's going to dry that you mentioned it earlier?
• 1:12:59
  J Daniels was a revelation last year for Kansas right at the quarterback position.
• 1:13:02
  He had West Virginia on skates all night. So is Garrett Green ready to
• 1:13:06
  ascend to that position? Does he have a breakout season and able to control
• 1:13:11
  the ball, run the ball? That? I mean, that's the element
• 1:13:14
  of this that you haven't seen. You've got the great offensive line, you
• 1:13:15
  feel comfortable about that running back room can Garrett Green mix in his ability to
• 1:13:20
  run, not turn it over throw enough to keep you off balance, then
• 1:13:25
  you could be cooking with gas if that happened, And if you were and
• 1:13:27
  we got time to talk about this. But if your bread four games in,
• 1:13:30
  you're saying, well, is it is it Nico? Is it Green?
• 1:13:31
  Is it? Who should be in there? I mean now you're in
• 1:13:34
  deep, deep trouble if you're still trying to figure out who the guy is
• 1:13:40
  after four games? Correct? No, Yes, I think Q's saying like
• 1:13:45
  move the chains, doesn't matter who I think. I think you got CJ,
• 1:13:48
  big CJ. We can keep him healthy, makes you look like the
• 1:13:53
  mother backs. I think you can sprinkle in like you said, Garrett,
• 1:13:56
  you know, him only having to have a four or five. No,
• 1:14:00
  I would hate to use him like Tim Tebow, you know, but I
• 1:14:03
  think if we can really run the ball and you know, get behind that
• 1:14:08
  line, and like you said, two and one, and in Penn State,
• 1:14:11
  you know they're got to break in a new quarterback as well, so
• 1:14:13
  you know it's gonna be interesting, that's for sure. Texter three guys George
• 1:14:20
  and Mingo County checking in. He says, you'll just never know what you'll
• 1:14:25
  see when you're watching the Open Championship. Did you see this picture, hoppy,
• 1:14:29
  here's a guy watching the British Open on videos got the flying WV had
• 1:14:32
  on. Guy was at the British Open. I'm sorry I called it the
• 1:14:35
  British Open. The Open, the Open, the Open, the Open flag.
• 1:14:41
  That's that DiCaprio, is it? You always see him like, yeah,
• 1:14:43
  he does. He just framed up perfectly. It is. Now wait
• 1:14:47
  where he's at. He was at the British Open. It was a quick
• 1:14:49
  move by the camera. The guy was near the hole or yeah, he
• 1:14:54
  was on the course and that's for real. Guy was there and he had
• 1:14:57
  a flying W the TV broadcast. Look that guy's in the front corner of
• 1:15:01
  the TV screen. Golfers are in the back. Oh okay, okay,
• 1:15:06
  here's something for you guys ready, Hey, team, this is George in
• 1:15:12
  Hong Kong. Excuse me, George in Hong Kong. I was there late
• 1:15:18
  seventies or early eighties. Yeah, actually the probably actually in Kowloon, but
• 1:15:24
  go ahead. So George and Hong Kong, who, as you may recall,
• 1:15:27
  now living in Charleston. He for worked for the US government for years
• 1:15:30
  in Hong Kong. Is a construction guy, just back from vacation last night
• 1:15:34
  and I was in a store in Japan. I was reminded of your discussion
• 1:15:39
  of Japanese kit cats. So I have a few varieties to send you.
• 1:15:43
  I just need a mailing address so I can express ship that to you quickly.
• 1:15:46
  So he went to Japan, lived in Hong Kong, went to Japan
• 1:15:53
  and thought of us while in Japan, and now he wants to send us
• 1:15:56
  some kit cats because he's a stay of weird, flamendous diverse and the kit
• 1:16:00
  cats tremendous diversity. So here's the box. Yeah, he wrote, Holy
• 1:16:06
  hell, he wrote us another big long letter. So he says, Hi,
• 1:16:11
  team. So I'm walking through a store in Tokyo with my son and
• 1:16:16
  a friend of his when we come up on a big promotional display of kit
• 1:16:20
  cats. They had a lot of varieties, and the three of us were
• 1:16:24
  chatting about them, and I remember there had been a brief discussion of Japanese
• 1:16:27
  kit cats on a Three Guys episode. I picked up a few selections for
• 1:16:30
  you to try. While the product descriptions are of course mainly in Japanese,
• 1:16:35
  the photo illustration should be enough to help tell you what the flavors are.
• 1:16:40
  I would have my wife translate some of the details. She can read the
• 1:16:44
  Chinese character's portion of Japanese, but she's out shopping and I want to get
• 1:16:47
  this in the mail now. Interesting note. I don't know Japanese, but
• 1:16:53
  I find it interesting that their alphabet actually consists of three different alphabets. Two
• 1:16:58
  are phonetic, one for words and the other for foreign introduced words, while
• 1:17:02
  the third alphabet, called kanjit kanji, is primarily made up of jet Chinese
• 1:17:08
  characters, the ladder of which my wife can read, and thus sometimes I
• 1:17:12
  get a rough idea of what's going on in a Japanese sentence, Warm regards
• 1:17:15
  and keep up the good work. George in Hong Kong. Oops, I
• 1:17:19
  mean George and Charleston. Wow, so he sent us a boatload of kit
• 1:17:26
  cats and oh that must be that is um, what's that stuff that you
• 1:17:32
  dip when you go get at a Chinese and when you get right, that's
• 1:17:40
  a great thing from there. Yeah, that's yeah, that's so that's what
• 1:17:42
  that would be. A wasabi? Right? Oh it's oh, I see
• 1:17:45
  it. How about this? Like this isn't a kit cat, but it
• 1:17:49
  looks like some kind of a chip, like that's really good. Look at
• 1:17:55
  these kit cats here, Um, this looks like I don't know, like
• 1:18:00
  maybe it says cocoa playing like some chocolate ones there, kit cat with my
• 1:18:04
  California role. These are really good. I've had these ones before. These
• 1:18:08
  are orange kit cats, really good. This is a green tea kitcat.
• 1:18:13
  Well, he sent a share a lot, right is that healthy green tea?
• 1:18:16
  One h And then he just then he just went off. He went
• 1:18:19
  off the course and he sent us like these spicy little peanuts and things like
• 1:18:24
  that. He was in he was in Tokyo and he sent us stuff to
• 1:18:29
  us very nice. As you all know. He should take these up to
• 1:18:32
  TBT Thursday when we go see if Kevin Jones had tried an these he's been
• 1:18:38
  playing over in Japan. He probably does. Yeah, so thank you very
• 1:18:43
  much. George Jess will get easily consumed. Quincy's going in is he Quin's
• 1:18:47
  Yeah? Go ahead? Oh have you not had the You're in great shape?
• 1:18:49
  Do you eat? You eat? You're really gonna I mean that is
• 1:18:54
  it's gonna be a revelation for you. I'm going in there. Yeah,
• 1:18:57
  really really word I worked out this morning, so I could. Yeah,
• 1:19:00
  I think you could probably get a one. It's still the kitcats. Yeah,
• 1:19:01
  well yeah, so these are the orange ones. Dude, good right,
• 1:19:05
  you like that, don't you? Is it good? Huh? Can
• 1:19:10
  you taste orange? Not really? I'm pretty good. Oh, orange,
• 1:19:16
  very orange. Yeah, that's what I thought. They're really good. I
• 1:19:20
  wonder why that's not in the domestic market. Yeah, people rather eat That's
• 1:19:27
  not bad. No, I think they would be a revolt the same way
• 1:19:30
  that when they try to change pepsi and people are like, no, this
• 1:19:32
  is I think we're so we're so used to we're not used to change.
• 1:19:36
  So here's I think kit cats pretty underrated. You know, it's one of
• 1:19:41
  my favorites. P M and M's and Kitcat are my two favorites. Oh,
• 1:19:43
  this is the Halloween candy of the gods. Yes, exactly, Now,
• 1:19:46
  that's the Halloween candy of the gods. Well, they've made it.
• 1:19:49
  I don't I don't know how they're doing it, but they've made a tremendous
• 1:19:53
  push to the last two or three years that kick Cats are the most readily
• 1:19:56
  available Halloween candy in Mike Parents Personal pin. No doubt that's not scientific not
• 1:20:03
  just anecdotal. Uh all right, Kitcat or riese cup kitt Kitcat says Quincy
• 1:20:10
  Tony, Yeah, Quincy, I go, I go kit Kat. I
• 1:20:14
  mean there's there's no wrong answer. I'm just saying if I love Kitcats,
• 1:20:18
  but Reese's is whatever was coming after your Reese's or didn't matter. Yeah,
• 1:20:25
  Kitcats delivery is nice, though, break it very symmetrical. It's good.
• 1:20:30
  Quincy eating another one. I think that might be like a peanut butter ish
• 1:20:32
  one thing I've ever had that This is good. I like it when Quincy
• 1:20:35
  comes in because he'll dive into the Kitcats with me. Rashid's sitting over here
• 1:20:39
  eating chia seeds on how I feel bad? He would Yeah, remember when
• 1:20:44
  he was on our broadcast. We would have barbecue, we'd have Max.
• 1:20:46
  He come in, like I said, big thing of raisins, you know,
• 1:20:49
  some chia seeds. Yeah, it makes me feel worse than I already
• 1:20:54
  did. How's that one? That one's good too. You don't even know
• 1:20:58
  what flavor you If you would like to send us food, If you would
• 1:21:01
  like to send us food, our address, people I get a lot of
• 1:21:04
  people say, what's your address? Our address is two six zero Spruce Street,
• 1:21:10
  Morgantown, two six five o five two six zero Spruce Street, Morgantown,
• 1:21:15
  two six five oh five. You want to hear some crazy stupid stuff
• 1:21:17
  we did last night? So hoppy. Yeah, it's uh, it's a
• 1:21:23
  really bad decision. It's ten forty five. Listen, this was it.
• 1:21:27
  Yeah, this is a bad decision. Or was it eleven o'clock It was
• 1:21:29
  past eleven o'clock, whatever it was. It's thirty. So we're walking out
• 1:21:32
  to our car to leave to come back to Morgantown and Brad and Eye and
• 1:21:36
  it was like we're tired and we're walking to our carn't. I didn't realize
• 1:21:43
  bad food management. I didn't have anything. I have two games. I
• 1:21:45
  didn't have time this good sports, I didn't have time. This girl's walking
• 1:21:47
  in the parking lot. She's coming on an angle, walking in the parking
• 1:21:51
  lot. Yeah, and she's holding a big box and it's donuts and she
• 1:21:56
  goes and I much do you want from now? No? She goes,
• 1:22:00
  hey, you guys want to donut? And we go, yeah, what
• 1:22:04
  do you got in there? Like she rolls she opens them up. I
• 1:22:06
  go like, where did fry Mike? And she said, Kroger's and I
• 1:22:11
  took a glaze. He goes, oh, I gotta have double chocolates.
• 1:22:14
  So we just take him and we walked toward the cart. In fairness,
• 1:22:16
  I did ask her if they were laced? You did? I said,
• 1:22:18
  are these safe? You did? And if they weren't, I'm sure she
• 1:22:23
  would have said no. So we just want to bad decision. Eleven o'clock
• 1:22:29
  at night eating a donut. It could have been full of whatever, but
• 1:22:31
  you were, in fairness, you were hungry and it was something made available.
• 1:22:35
  West Virginians help each other, like hey, you donuts, help each
• 1:22:40
  other. Text her TC and the other two guys. I loved the pod
• 1:22:45
  with deuce football questions. I watched a few older games recently the eighties and
• 1:22:51
  the early nineties. I noticed the guy's shoulder pads are much bigger, bulkier
• 1:22:56
  than when they are today. I'm wondering why did they start getting smaller.
• 1:23:00
  I'd love to hear and experienced trainer discuss changes and equipment and turfs and how
• 1:23:05
  much severe injuries have been reduced, including light knee braces for the offensive line.
• 1:23:10
  When did we start seeing the roller pellets start flying showing up in punctures,
• 1:23:14
  reduced knee injuries, et CETERA question for Quincy, Well, I know
• 1:23:16
  the shoulder pad thing has become excuse me, I mobility thing. Speed.
• 1:23:23
  You know you want to be lighter. I know, Um, a lot
• 1:23:26
  of stuff is fit customed now. It used to be only be helmets.
• 1:23:29
  I come in with the helmet. Now it's the whole. It's the whole,
• 1:23:33
  you know, kidding the whole thing with the shoulder pads. So yeah,
• 1:23:36
  so pads in general, right, you used to have big pads in
• 1:23:39
  the pants. Now there's like the pants are basically like spandex tights and there's
• 1:23:43
  no there's nothing else in there. You're just playing light light light, because
• 1:23:46
  I mean I think they got sick of the people just cutting them. Yeah,
• 1:23:48
  they've made them kind of shorter. Did the thigh pads ever help though?
• 1:23:53
  The hip pads did it ever helped me? It had too. I
• 1:23:57
  wore butt pads. I wore every danny give me everything you get. I
• 1:24:01
  would, well think about what you're doing. They're standing you straight up like
• 1:24:04
  a telephone pole and just run an India as hard as they can. Mini
• 1:24:08
  car wrecks. Everyone every carries a mini car wreck, but still tackle football.
• 1:24:13
  I mean they're still doing I mean it's I know, it's not the
• 1:24:15
  same thing. They're still tackling too. I think that's that's changed. I
• 1:24:18
  remember seeing it was a big don Joy Bracesmber, seeing those guys having the
• 1:24:23
  weirdos and yeah, you know crazy, yeah, and the pellets were part
• 1:24:28
  of it. So when turf was turf, it used to be like indoor
• 1:24:30
  carpet or outdoor carpet. Pitts and old Pitts Stadium. It was amazing how
• 1:24:36
  hard that surface was. It was just old turf. I mean, because
• 1:24:40
  that was the old days of turf and so sat stuff and so Field turf
• 1:24:45
  were the first folks, if I'm not mistaken, to insert the rubber pellets
• 1:24:48
  into the ground and give it that more of like a dirt surface feel.
• 1:24:51
  So that's been around a good chunk twenty plus years. Uh. Text or
• 1:24:58
  Hey, guys, with all the recent happenings of departure with Bob Huggins,
• 1:25:05
  here's my question, who does West Virginia bring back to honor first for what
• 1:25:11
  they did at WVU. Bob Huggins or Rich Rodriguez both had messy departures and
• 1:25:16
  I would love to hear your thoughts on this, Caleb on the edge of
• 1:25:19
  the gorge in Fayetta Bowl. I don't ever see that for Rich A really,
• 1:25:32
  I don't. I don't. There's twenty that we got twenty years Sugar
• 1:25:39
  Bowl anniversary coming up, right, because five was the Sugar Bowl, so
• 1:25:44
  twenty five, so you're you're not too far away from that. Okay,
• 1:25:46
  what are are you talking about? Just bring Rich back or Rich with the
• 1:25:48
  team? Because Rich with the team. I could see. It's a different
• 1:25:51
  thing than saying at this game, we're gonna honor Rich Rodriguez. Okay,
• 1:25:56
  are we talking north end zone here? North? He's going into the north
• 1:25:59
  endzone? Good? No? Good north end zone reference. Um, I
• 1:26:03
  don't know. Just make a hypothetical by themselves, Rich by himself. I
• 1:26:11
  don't see that. But I could certainly see the Sugar Bowl team Rich with
• 1:26:14
  the Sugar Bowl team. Okay, I can see that, Huggins that there's
• 1:26:18
  a long way to go before that happens. A long way to go.
• 1:26:23
  There is a lot of hard feelings on both sides on that, and there
• 1:26:30
  may there have to be a pretty serious change in the administration and leadership at
• 1:26:35
  WV, which may happen Gordon Gee retires in a couple of years. In
• 1:26:39
  Baker's still around, There's gonna have to be a lot of time to pass
• 1:26:42
  here before before that happens. Text or child Tony. I'll be heading down
• 1:26:45
  to Orlando for the UCF game. Like you, I'm a food snob and
• 1:26:49
  have to look ahead for places to eat when traveling. It's only three months
• 1:26:53
  still kick off. I'm getting prepared. Do you have any recommendations. I
• 1:26:57
  found a pizza spot that I've got to try out. It's called V Pizza
• 1:27:00
  Lake Bonavista near Disney Springs. I can charge my tesla while grabbing a bite
• 1:27:04
  to eat. Here's the link. Check out the menu. A lot of
• 1:27:08
  San Marzano sauce used in their dishes, strongly advocated for that. I did
• 1:27:12
  take a peek at the website. Looked good. Speaking of Orlando real quick,
• 1:27:15
  can I get a mention in a shout out? Yeah? The listener
• 1:27:18

• 1:30:55
  first words and then you can fill out the rest. Uh. I looked
• 1:31:00
  that up last night, Henderby check Ethical decision Making Framework. Well you could
• 1:31:06
  say that, or it could stand for every day mother. Oh really no,
• 1:31:13
  Well I don't know. I just that's that's what I saw last night,
• 1:31:16
  and somebody reference that's what it stands for. No, it stands for
• 1:31:19
  every day mother. Oh it does. Yeah, that's us. That's the
• 1:31:24
  practice jersey. That's practice shirt. So like when you come to practice.
• 1:31:28
  Didn't I missed that? What did you say? It was hop Ethical Decision
• 1:31:31
  Making Framework? Nah, that's not it. Okay, okay, it's a
• 1:31:36
  it's a practice t shirt. So they used to say team Yeah, like
• 1:31:41
  hey, we're but this is like every day mother or you get that.
• 1:31:45
  I mean, you understand what that's like when we go to work. We
• 1:31:46
  go to work every day. We'll see I missed that completely. Wow,
• 1:31:51
  that's not a stunner because I saw it and then I looked it up and
• 1:31:55
  then it's like, oh, okay, so maybe Huggins anything like gotta make
• 1:31:59
  you know, trying to make a pivot in your life, making ethical decisions.
• 1:32:02
  That's practice Jersey. It's a practice shirt. Okay, drop it,
• 1:32:05
  I'll drop it. Like John bee Line he used to have. I used
• 1:32:09
  to wear the two eleven twelve two hundred twelves two hundred twelve. Yeah,
• 1:32:14
  because at two hundred and eleven you've heard this one two Q two hundred and
• 1:32:17
  eleven degrees waters just steam, but at two hundred and twelve degrees it boils.
• 1:32:24
  And so when you go to work out and you go to practice,
• 1:32:28
  we don't want to make steam, we want to boil. And so that
• 1:32:31
  thing. And they always had shirts on people go, what's that two hundred
• 1:32:33
  and twelve? Me? What's two twelve met? You know, they always
• 1:32:36
  do these little little uh that wouldn't be an acronym, it would just be
• 1:32:42
  abbreviation or whatever I which you would call it. That one guy, I'll
• 1:32:45
  go Bruce Rvan one year on year guys, he was how about this one?
• 1:32:53

• 1:33:00
  grad transfer that had a massive impact that you really went, wow, how
• 1:33:04
  about that grad transfer and thing that worked out great? It did work.
• 1:33:08
  Yeah, I don't know if he was the first, he's the first one.
• 1:33:10
  I vividly remember being correct transfer that came in and made a master and
• 1:33:14
  plays in the NFL. Yeah, they're good. Interesting do you remember because
• 1:33:16
  he basically became damaged Goods at Michigan because didn't play well in the Rose Bowl
• 1:33:24
  and they turned on him and it was like, you're not good enough,
• 1:33:27

• 1:35:13
  pregnant pause and you go in your mind. All of a sudden, your
