- 2:41Speaker 3: and he's still locked in. Who is the quarterback for him?
- 2:44Speaker 3: They had the quarterback for Jerry Rice a Mississippi Valley
- 2:47Speaker 3: State put up monster numbers as well. If Rice was,
- 2:51Speaker 3: that means the quarterback was thrown to him. Hop he
- 2:53Speaker 3: can get on that.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Here.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Always a West Virginia connection. Who broke Jerry Rice's all
- 2:57Speaker 1: time career receptions wrecord at Mississippi Valley State. Chris George
- 3:02Speaker 1: a West Virginian Chris George at Bridgeport. Where'd he play
- 3:06Speaker 1: at Glenville?
- 3:07Speaker 2: Or she did?
- 3:07Speaker 3: Because everybody played a Glenville our boy?
- 3:09Speaker 1: Our boy Jed Drenning. He rolled up a few passing yards. Jo,
- 3:12Speaker 1: All you had to do is throw it to Chris.
- 3:15Speaker 1: So kind of interesting, hoppy this new headphone amp nice,
- 3:20Speaker 1: It's crazy. A bread wouldn't know because he's not wearing headphones.
- 3:23Speaker 2: Hobby. This is yeah, this is clear.
- 3:25Speaker 1: I must admit last episode, I didn't even go back
- 3:27Speaker 1: and watch it because I felt out of sorts the
- 3:29Speaker 1: entire show because I couldn't.
- 3:30Speaker 2: I didn't have headsets on, so I couldn't. He was
- 3:32Speaker 2: just bad Willie Tott and toting will that's it.
- 3:37Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's taking.
- 3:40Speaker 2: They called him Satellite, Oh, Satellite Totten. Mm hmm. He
- 3:44Speaker 2: threw crazy number. He threw for fifty eight touchdowns.
- 3:48Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy.
- 3:52Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:53Speaker 3: I thought, it's really the only school in country. We've
- 3:55Speaker 3: played a lot of schools in our time in doing this,
- 3:58Speaker 3: and generally there's multiple names that come up with schools.
- 4:01Speaker 3: Mississippi Valley State is Jerry Rice. Every time, I.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Thought, and I'm not into the I'm not into a
- 4:08Speaker 1: lot of mystic karma blah blah blah blah blah stuff.
- 4:13Speaker 1: But I thought last Saturday night, I just felt assured
- 4:18Speaker 1: that West Virginia would win the game. For various signals. One,
- 4:22Speaker 1: we were wearing the Jerry West throwbacks. And this is
- 4:25Speaker 1: why this was the confirmation. At mid court there at
- 4:29Speaker 1: Rocket Arena, right out of bounds at mid court is
- 4:34Speaker 1: this massive logo of Jerry West. Because it's the Cavaliers,
- 4:38Speaker 1: and that's what the NBA teams. I have the logo
- 4:40Speaker 1: of the league sitting right there. I thought, now, here's Jerry,
- 4:43Speaker 1: He's going to be at mid court and the team's
- 4:45Speaker 1: wearing his uniform. There's a little mojo to that. It
- 4:50Speaker 1: was close.
- 4:50Speaker 3: It was while Ganzi is the current caretaker of the
- 4:53Speaker 3: franchise of the building. We're in correct, correct, So well,
- 4:58Speaker 3: you can go back to not believing it that stuff
- 5:00Speaker 3: because it didn't come through.
- 5:01Speaker 2: I went back. I watched the second half again.
- 5:04Speaker 3: I watched the don't start, just move on because I
- 5:07Speaker 3: don't even want to talk about it.
- 5:08Speaker 2: I did.
- 5:08Speaker 1: I turned it on, watched the second episode. Okay, how
- 5:11Speaker 1: in the heck did this? What happened here? In the
- 5:15Speaker 1: most basic sense, stop making shots?
- 5:18Speaker 2: Misshots? I gave you this stent.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Yeah, we stopped making shots. We had great, great looks,
- 5:23Speaker 1: great shots, didn't make shots.
- 5:25Speaker 3: Well, you did better than I did, because the second
- 5:27Speaker 3: time I went back to watch it, I stopped, just
- 5:29Speaker 3: turned it off.
- 5:30Speaker 1: Well, I didn't like I didn't get to over I
- 5:32Speaker 1: did not get to overtime. I'll tell you that much.
- 5:34Speaker 1: I said, I'm not doing.
- 5:35Speaker 2: Last night we watched Brad and I watched Xavier, and
- 5:37Speaker 2: Xavier made every shot against West Virginia.
- 5:38Speaker 3: They went out last night, couldn't make it suit got
- 5:40Speaker 3: beat forty. Lined up just later and they got beat forty.
- 5:43Speaker 3: It's it's why, it's it's why basketball college basketlam is
- 5:47Speaker 3: such a wonderful sport but also one of the most maddening.
- 5:50Speaker 3: And I know that happens in others, but basketball there's
- 5:53Speaker 3: so much variance because of that three point shot that
- 5:56Speaker 3: you can look like world beaters and you can look
- 5:58Speaker 3: like absolute dog yuck. And Xavier was dog yack last
- 6:02Speaker 3: night course against US, I said a program record.
- 6:05Speaker 2: Yeah, so.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Frustrating, frustrating, frustrating. All right, we'll get into misipp Valley State.

- 7:28Speaker 2: Right? Yeah?
- 7:28Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we'd line up, you know, start start throwing money.
- 7:34Speaker 1: I would figure out a way to make it repeatable,

- 7:39Speaker 1: a big chunk with just the principal and we're just
- 7:42Speaker 1: gonna take it every you and go stop here we go.
- 7:45Speaker 3: Yeah, of course it's not a one time deal. Gotta
- 7:47Speaker 3: have a good financial advisor. Of course one in my household,
- 7:49Speaker 3: so we'd handle that real quick. On go mare before
- 7:51Speaker 3: you read the next one. You gotta give a plug
- 7:53Speaker 3: to them real quick. When in the other day had
- 7:55Speaker 3: it you know on your app post Office one, postal Plaza,
- 7:59Speaker 3: so uh on your app they'll pop you with rewards
- 8:02Speaker 3: or certain free things every once in a while, so
- 8:05Speaker 3: you get a free I got a free beverage, free fountains.
- 8:07Speaker 1: Really, I just I just find that to a term
- 8:12Speaker 1: of fountain drink.
- 8:15Speaker 3: Where you get cash in my free fountain drink before
- 8:18Speaker 3: it expires. And you know those can be hit or
- 8:21Speaker 3: miss now, well, they can be hit or missed because
- 8:24Speaker 3: if you're not paying attention to them, the tanks get
- 8:26Speaker 3: a little bit low and it comes out it's not
- 8:29Speaker 3: as good, it's not as crispy. Like there's an art.
- 8:32Speaker 3: There's an art to that. You're talking syrup, now, yeah,
- 8:34Speaker 3: there's an art. You gotta change those tanks out and
- 8:36Speaker 3: they got to be read a freshman rod. And for
- 8:39Speaker 3: some reason this is anecdotal, is that how you is anecdotal.
- 8:43Speaker 3: It feels like it happens to the diet beverages more than.
- 8:45Speaker 2: The regular Where are you what? What have you been doing?
- 8:49Speaker 3: I mean you've been in there for a lifetime of experience.
- 8:52Speaker 3: Their hoppy so what you make? So I went in
- 8:54Speaker 3: to get a diet and it's excellent every time at
- 8:57Speaker 3: that gomart. When I do it, it is excellent.
- 9:00Speaker 2: Out of the fountain. You call it crisp.
- 9:01Speaker 3: It's crisp. It's got crispy, it's got a little bite.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Man this do you hit that thing and fill it
- 9:06Speaker 2: up and take a drink and fill it up again?
- 9:07Speaker 4: Well, I answer, but because checking it, Yeah, there's got
- 9:17Speaker 4: to be a quality control element.
- 9:18Speaker 2: I mean, I trust them.
- 9:19Speaker 3: They're doing a great job at Postal Plaza, so I
- 9:21Speaker 3: probably don't need to double check them. But normally I'm
- 9:23Speaker 3: double check them that because if that thing's not good,
- 9:25Speaker 3: then buddy, we're dumping that thing out and we're starting over.
- 9:28Speaker 3: So you got to give it a taste, but you
- 9:30Speaker 3: also not tally if the fizz is pretty good, and
- 9:32Speaker 3: you got to hit it and then when you pull
- 9:34Speaker 3: it away then it drops down. It's only at the
- 9:36Speaker 3: halfway mark. You got to put it back under foot.
- 9:38Speaker 3: That's usually a good sign. But anyway, shout out to
- 9:40Speaker 3: the Postal Plaza folks. Great customer service. When I walk
- 9:43Speaker 3: in when I don't know where something is, they direct
- 9:45Speaker 3: you immediately and their their fountain drinks very good.
- 9:48Speaker 1: Very crisp. Three guys, also brought to us by Tutors.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Tutors is hosting families across the state and beyond. That's right,
- 9:55Speaker 1: right now, you can get an event catered by Tutors
- 9:58Speaker 1: holiday season, right people coming over, Hey, were they gonna
- 10:01Speaker 1: stop by?
- 10:01Speaker 2: Do this? Do that?
- 10:03Speaker 1: Well, they can cater your next event. I gotta do
- 10:06Speaker 1: his call ahead and pick it up. It's Tutor's biscuit
- 10:08Speaker 1: world so much more than biscuits. In fact, our football
- 10:11Speaker 1: crew there a couple of weeks ago in Charleston when
- 10:13Speaker 1: they were doing the games, they had catering from Tutors
- 10:17Speaker 1: and it was delicioso.
- 10:19Speaker 3: That's a good sight as well. You walk in there's
- 10:22Speaker 3: just a big box filled with Tutors biscuits.
- 10:24Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes you feel warm and ready.
- 10:27Speaker 3: It's a big it's just open and there's just lines
- 10:31Speaker 3: of biscuits.
- 10:32Speaker 2: Lu's again good reason to get out of the house
- 10:34Speaker 2: away from all the relatives.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Keep your way, Harry, let's do this.
- 10:37Speaker 3: You've got sound brand new.
- 10:39Speaker 1: That's right, hoppies, obvious observations now ready here he is
- 10:46Speaker 1: quick bouservation since he has a naval uniform onnd let
- 11:01Speaker 1: me just digress, since we're going nowhere, whatsoever new way
- 11:04Speaker 1: these pirates are trying to get onto these cargo ships.
- 11:07Speaker 1: Saw it on YouTube. So what they're doing now. So
- 11:11Speaker 1: what they're doing now is they're coming up like alongside
- 11:14Speaker 1: and they have a bunch of fruit, like they have
- 11:16Speaker 1: a bunch of fruit on there on the boat.
- 11:19Speaker 2: They're showing like, hey.
- 11:19Speaker 1: Man, we got oranges, we got limes, we got pineapples.
- 11:22Speaker 1: You guys, what do you need? And then they come in.
- 11:25Speaker 1: So my boy, my boy, my boyset not falling for
- 11:29Speaker 1: the fruit joke. Took a hatchet out, Yeah, took a
- 11:33Speaker 1: hatchet out. Fellas started to try to climb up on
- 11:36Speaker 1: the side. He started swinging with an axe. It wasn't
- 11:39Speaker 1: even a matt it wasn't It was a full axe.
- 11:41Speaker 1: They took off, brought their fruit somewhere else. So watch
- 11:45Speaker 1: out if you're out in the open seas and you
- 11:47Speaker 1: see a boat pull up with a lot of fresh
- 11:49Speaker 1: citrus fruit. Don't buy it. They're pirates, hoppy, go ahead.
- 11:52Speaker 2: That's really unfair to those who actually want to sell fruit. Sorry, yeah,
- 11:57Speaker 2: obvious observations. Missippi Valley State. Candidly, I could not get
- 12:01Speaker 2: very interested in the basketball team, all due respect, I
- 12:05Speaker 2: think they've won won one game a struggle struggle at
- 12:08Speaker 2: so I'll leave that to you guys. But I got
- 12:10Speaker 2: interested in the school, located in Lafour County, Mississippi, heart
- 12:15Speaker 2: of the Mississippi Delta. It's a historic It's a historic
- 12:19Speaker 2: black college in a region that was ground zero for
- 12:23Speaker 2: the segregated South. And what this is, This to me,
- 12:27Speaker 2: fat was fascinating. One of the reasons it was created
- 12:29Speaker 2: in the mid nineteen fifties was because of the nineteen
- 12:32Speaker 2: fifty four Brown Versus Board of Education decision, which which
- 12:35Speaker 2: outlawed segregation whole separate, equal thing in the South. So
- 12:38Speaker 2: white leaders, now you think, like historic black college. White
- 12:41Speaker 2: leaders created the college so that to encourage black students
- 12:49Speaker 2: to go to the black college and not go to
- 12:50Speaker 2: the white college. You see what I'm saying. It wasn't like, oh,
- 12:53Speaker 2: we want to help black volks, It was we want
- 12:55Speaker 2: to send the black rations to the Black school. So
- 12:58Speaker 2: they were looking for a way around brown versus of
- 13:00Speaker 2: education to still have black segregated from whites. And the ironically,
- 13:05Speaker 2: the featured speaker when they dedicated the college was Governor
- 13:09Speaker 2: Fielding Wright, who was a noted segregationist. He was the
- 13:12Speaker 2: featured speaker. So they it's this, it's this tragic but
- 13:17Speaker 2: fascinating history. And of course then it evolved to a
- 13:19Speaker 2: historic and significant black college, now a university, but it
- 13:23Speaker 2: had this weird beginning which was part of the segregated South.
- 13:27Speaker 2: So I thought that was interesting. I'll be bringing some
- 13:29Speaker 2: truth nuggets in here.
- 13:30Speaker 3: Not only brought truth that was good research, and it
- 13:31Speaker 3: was also not obvious observations. That was not an obvious observation.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Obviously, listen, you're getting off your task. You were supposed
- 13:38Speaker 1: to state things that are obvious.
- 13:39Speaker 3: That was really good deep research.
- 13:40Speaker 1: So you went sideways ever since Robert Morris when you
- 13:43Speaker 1: had all that land in West Virginia, that's when you
- 13:45Speaker 1: really went off the Yeah.
- 13:46Speaker 2: I did. Well. I like history, and I always think
- 13:49Speaker 2: there's I like stories, and I always think there's a story, right,
- 13:52Speaker 2: and you just look around and see if you can
- 13:54Speaker 2: find the story. Speaking of stories, so I promise you
- 13:57Speaker 2: a little history. This month is the one hundred and
- 14:00Speaker 2: thirty fourth anniversary of the first recorded basketball game. Wow.
- 14:05Speaker 2: December twenty one of eighteen ninety one at a at
- 14:13Speaker 2: a gym in Springfield, Massachusetts, was the first recorded basketball game,
- 14:19Speaker 2: put on by doctor James Naismith.
- 14:21Speaker 1: And the first audio said, these freaking reps sock.
- 14:27Speaker 2: That's the first line that they have. Doctor Nate Smith
- 14:31Speaker 2: created the game. Well, there were other people kind of
- 14:33Speaker 2: fooling around with the game, but he's credited with the
- 14:36Speaker 2: official start of the game. The purpose was to create
- 14:39Speaker 2: an indoor sport for unruly students.
- 14:45Speaker 1: Well, that seems to still be in play.
- 14:47Speaker 2: So I went back and he came up with the
- 14:49Speaker 2: first thirteen rules. This is legit now, the first thirteen rules,
- 14:52Speaker 2: which were published in January, but it came up with
- 14:56Speaker 2: him for the first game in December of eighteen ninety one.
- 14:59Speaker 2: I'm not going to read them all, but here's a couple.
- 15:02Speaker 2: The ball may be thrown in any direction with one
- 15:04Speaker 2: or both hands, all right, still true today. A player
- 15:08Speaker 2: cannot run with the.
- 15:09Speaker 3: Ball certain leagues NBA sometimes you can, And at the
- 15:14Speaker 3: time I don't think there was any dribbling at the time.
- 15:15Speaker 2: I think you just had to pass. I don't think
- 15:17Speaker 2: there was dribbling that came later. But a player cannot
- 15:19Speaker 2: run with the ball. He just said dribbling came later.
- 15:23Speaker 2: This is a quote from the rule. No shouldering, holding, pushing, tripping,
- 15:27Speaker 2: or striking of an opponent is allowed.
- 15:29Speaker 3: Untrue.
- 15:30Speaker 2: In today's game, if either side makes three consecutive fouls,
- 15:36Speaker 2: the other team gets a goal. Wow.
- 15:38Speaker 3: Not that that's interesting.
- 15:39Speaker 2: Kind of a weird rule. Huh, that's interesting as heck.
- 15:42Speaker 2: How about this? A goal was made when the ball
- 15:45Speaker 2: is thrown or batted into the basket and it stays there.
- 15:49Speaker 3: In the basket. In the old peach basket, will peach bank.
- 15:51Speaker 2: Pops in and out? No go, no go? The umpire
- 15:55Speaker 2: quote shall be the judge of men, and shall note
- 15:57Speaker 2: the fowls. I like that judge of men.
- 16:04Speaker 3: He also went to old time announcer voice there, which was.
- 16:06Speaker 2: A good judge of men. And he judge the young
- 16:07Speaker 2: man isn't misbehaved. Two fifteen minute halves close, Okay, not
- 16:13Speaker 2: too far. The side making the most goals in that
- 16:16Speaker 2: time the fifteen minute halves. Shelby declared the winner in
- 16:19Speaker 2: case of a drawl, the game, maybe by agreement of
- 16:22Speaker 2: the captains, be continued until another goal is scored.
- 16:25Speaker 1: See that's back in the day when captains had some juice.
- 16:27Speaker 1: They don't do anything. Now now we'll just go out
- 16:31Speaker 1: there in the middle of court before the game started,
- 16:32Speaker 1: doing nothing in the rest of the game and the
- 16:34Speaker 1: back then they could make a call.
- 16:36Speaker 2: Now we're playing on, playing on. The first game had
- 16:39Speaker 2: nine players on the side. Really, I never knew that
- 16:44Speaker 2: final score was one nothing. Yeah, it took a bit
- 16:47Speaker 2: to get it in there. Huh. And this is this
- 16:49Speaker 2: is interesting to efficiency there. Nay Smith was a deeply
- 16:52Speaker 2: religious guy. He wanted a sport that could be played
- 16:54Speaker 2: indoors in the winter to build religious character, and he
- 16:58Speaker 2: was more concerned about character building than winning. Well, there
- 17:01Speaker 2: isn't there something to do with YMCA? Oh yeah it was.
- 17:03Speaker 2: The first game was out of ymc AGA and so
- 17:05Speaker 2: on Young Men's Christian Association. A couple of quotes, I'll
- 17:09Speaker 2: wrap it up. He said, I'm enjoying this. Basketball is
- 17:13Speaker 2: personal combat without personal contact. Okay. In this quote, you
- 17:21Speaker 2: love this. No prettier site can be found in athletic
- 17:25Speaker 2: achievement than in a game where the ball, without any
- 17:28Speaker 2: perceived plan, passes from man to man in a series
- 17:31Speaker 2: of brilliant movements and lands in the goal.
- 17:34Speaker 3: That's still true today.
- 17:35Speaker 2: Is that true? Right?
- 17:36Speaker 3: How often do we talk about that's great ball movement,
- 17:38Speaker 3: like the extra pass?
- 17:39Speaker 2: Right?
- 17:40Speaker 3: It is when it's at its most beautiful. Is when
- 17:42Speaker 3: that's happening, ball's moving, it ends in a shot.
- 17:44Speaker 2: Yes, So you looked at those rules. That's good and
- 17:47Speaker 2: there are some obviously don't others that don't apply today,
- 17:50Speaker 2: but others guys carried through for one hundred and thirty years.
- 17:56Speaker 2: Some of those fundamentals remain true today. And those rules
- 18:00Speaker 2: housed in a big twelve.
- 18:02Speaker 3: City, correct and Lawrence, Kansas, University of Kansas has them and.
- 18:06Speaker 2: They follow all of them.
- 18:07Speaker 1: They paid a lot of money for those rules.
- 18:10Speaker 3: That's like in like in all seriousness, a special climate
- 18:14Speaker 3: controlled oh yeah, area and the whole thing.
- 18:16Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 18:16Speaker 3: So if you go he has those jotted.
- 18:18Speaker 2: Down, I gotta go there. I gotta see that.
- 18:20Speaker 1: You need to come. Listen, We're not going there this year,
- 18:23Speaker 1: but that future you gotta go.
- 18:25Speaker 2: So.
- 18:26Speaker 1: Nay Smith creating basketball served as a catalyst for the
- 18:31Speaker 1: creation of the game of volleyball.
- 18:33Speaker 2: Oh really, William William G.
- 18:35Speaker 1: Morgan created the game of volleyball. And if you if
- 18:40Speaker 1: you want, I'm gonna give you a little assignment here
- 18:42Speaker 1: next time you can then for Jen Green you can
- 18:44Speaker 1: look into that. The only reason I know that is
- 18:46Speaker 1: because William Morgan you went.
- 18:48Speaker 3: To like grade school with him.
- 18:49Speaker 1: I didn't know it was the eighteen hundreds, but he
- 18:52Speaker 1: was born in my hometown Port Yeah. Really, and then
- 18:55Speaker 1: he eventually got to Springfield and that this was an
- 18:58Speaker 1: offshoot basketball. Interesting be got basketball, be got volleyball.
- 19:04Speaker 2: But it's it's fascinating to think this was an idea
- 19:08Speaker 2: somebody had and that was their intent brand and it
- 19:12Speaker 2: started obviously very humbly, as things often do. And look
- 19:15Speaker 2: what it is today. Good one.
- 19:18Speaker 3: I think those were not obvious, but very good.
- 19:19Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 19:20Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean i'd have to say one of your
- 19:23Speaker 1: best performances to this point, thank you.
- 19:25Speaker 2: Let's give them a song something that's not true. We
- 19:29Speaker 2: didn't know that stuff thoughts. From Hobby's point.
- 19:34Speaker 1: You might have to change the whole segment if you're
- 19:35Speaker 1: going to go do this stuff that's not obvious.
- 19:37Speaker 2: Well, because I didn't want to look at LSSIPI Valley basketball.
- 19:42Speaker 2: I didn't thought I couldn't. I understand. Oh I still have.
- 19:50Speaker 2: I mean obvious going forward is just if I don't
- 19:52Speaker 2: have something obvious, I gotta do some I gotta do
- 19:54Speaker 2: some work.
- 19:57Speaker 1: We could call it like hobby stuff. You can go
- 20:00Speaker 1: anywhere you want to go with stuff. And we used
- 20:02Speaker 1: to just call it and stuff, right, we just call
- 20:05Speaker 1: it and stuff. We can just do that, right, So listen,
- 20:08Speaker 1: if you want to rename it on days that it's
- 20:10Speaker 1: not obvious, you just say, hey, I'm going and stuff today,
- 20:12Speaker 1: and we'll just go and stuff.
- 20:13Speaker 2: And stuff don't leave with you guys for Missippi Valley State.
- 20:16Speaker 1: And that might let our singer or the guy that
- 20:18Speaker 1: made our song now, Gary Martin is gonna have to
- 20:20Speaker 1: create a new song when we change it and just
- 20:22Speaker 1: go hoppy and stuff and stuff.
- 20:24Speaker 2: We can do that sound good? Sure? Sure, all right.
- 20:28Speaker 1: I'm delighted and uh really interested to see how Brad
- 20:32Speaker 1: is going to uh spread the uh spread the numerical
- 20:35Speaker 1: data on Mississippi Valley State was a challenge for you.
- 20:40Speaker 3: I've got too much here, you got too much. There's
- 20:45Speaker 3: way too much, of course, he does, seriously. Yeah, there's
- 20:48Speaker 3: too much I got Yeah.
- 20:51Speaker 1: Wow, three guys, three guys before the game spreads on
- 20:54Speaker 1: stats will break down the heavy analytics brought to us
- 20:57Speaker 1: by the good folks, the Conley CPA group. If they
- 21:00Speaker 1: provide so much more than value beyond numbers, that's what
- 21:03Speaker 1: they do. They're your business partner, walking hand in hand with.
- 21:07Speaker 2: You, going no, no, no, no, you don't do that. Do
- 21:10Speaker 2: this way. Hey.
- 21:11Speaker 1: By the way, there's a new set of laws out
- 21:14Speaker 1: there that if you do this and that you can
- 21:16Speaker 1: save this and you go like, thank you. Folks at
- 21:19Speaker 1: Conley's CPA. They can also come in and remote do
- 21:23Speaker 1: your accounting, also provide CFO services.
- 21:26Speaker 2: Check them out.
- 21:27Speaker 1: Good folks, business forty plus years here in the state
- 21:30Speaker 1: of West Virginia and beyond Conley's CPA. All right, so,
- 21:35Speaker 1: how in the heck are you gonna give me a
- 21:36Speaker 1: lot of good stuff on a one?
- 21:37Speaker 3: I don't know if it's good stuff. I just have
- 21:39Speaker 3: a lot of stuff. I have a lot of stuff,
- 21:42Speaker 3: all right, Okay, there's a lot of numbers. There's listen, hoppies.
- 21:45Speaker 3: I mean they're one and ten, they're owing eight away
- 21:47Speaker 3: from home. This is a team that's that's really struggling.
- 21:49Speaker 3: So these are not pretty numbers. These are unless you're
- 21:53Speaker 3: West Virginia, should should work out well for you. But
- 21:55Speaker 3: side note, I do like their their mascot. Their nickname,
- 21:58Speaker 3: the Delta Devil's is a good one.
- 22:00Speaker 2: It is.
- 22:00Speaker 3: Yeah, it's easy to say. I like the alliteration with.
- 22:04Speaker 1: Its unique Yes, two d's is good health the devils.
- 22:08Speaker 3: All right, here we go, settle in three hundred and
- 22:11Speaker 3: sixty fourth in defensive efficiency.
- 22:14Speaker 2: Teams out there's three sixty seven.
- 22:17Speaker 3: Fifty percent of their opponent shots come in the first
- 22:21Speaker 3: ten seconds of the shot clock. That's in the one
- 22:24Speaker 3: first percentile nationally with with zero being the worst.
- 22:28Speaker 2: Say that again.
- 22:29Speaker 3: This stunned me. Fifty percent of their opponent shots come
- 22:33Speaker 3: in the first ten seconds of the shot clock, So
- 22:36Speaker 3: that means they're not slowing really anybody down, Which leads
- 22:39Speaker 3: to three hundred and sixty fourth in defensivefficiency. So question
- 22:42Speaker 3: a massive number.
- 22:43Speaker 2: So question, I mean West Virginia likes to likes to
- 22:46Speaker 2: use the clock. They do, so do they continue to
- 22:48Speaker 2: use the clock or take advantage of it?
- 22:50Speaker 3: If the shots there, you take the shot hops. So
- 22:52Speaker 3: if you can get down the floor and run a
- 22:53Speaker 3: little bit and get some shots, now you want to
- 22:55Speaker 3: work on some things, but that's a that's a staggering number.
- 22:58Speaker 3: They don't create live turnovers very often, which mark of
- 23:02Speaker 3: a defense that's struggling in just the fiftieth percentile, and
- 23:06Speaker 3: then they rarely convert when they do get them. They're
- 23:09Speaker 3: only in the third percentile nationally on points per chance
- 23:12Speaker 3: off live ball turnovers. So this is just a team
- 23:15Speaker 3: defensively that hasn't been causing a lot of issues for
- 23:18Speaker 3: the teams that it plays. Now flip to the other side.
- 23:21Speaker 3: They turn it over nearly twenty times per game, an
- 23:26Speaker 3: to going against West Virginia, who's in the eighty seventh
- 23:29Speaker 3: percentile nationally and points off turnovers. So as we talk
- 23:33Speaker 3: at each game, that continues to be an area where
- 23:35Speaker 3: West Virginia is thriving creating those live ball turnovers getting
- 23:38Speaker 3: down floor. West Virginia's even better in these last five
- 23:42Speaker 3: games off a live ball turnover ninety eighth percentile in
- 23:46Speaker 3: points per possession off those specific types. Here's what's interesting,
- 23:50Speaker 3: and I'm I'm gonna watch this moving forward for West Virginias.
- 23:54Speaker 3: You start to now hop you get into the big
- 23:56Speaker 3: twelve play, which we know brings not only great teams
- 23:59Speaker 3: but really good defenses and starts to make half court
- 24:02Speaker 3: functioning in the half court really difficult. So West Virginia
- 24:05Speaker 3: right now is shooting forty six percent from three off
- 24:09Speaker 3: live ball turnovers. That's a that's a huge percent that's
- 24:12Speaker 3: a really good percentage off a live ball turnover. You
- 24:15Speaker 3: get the other way and you're forty six nearly fifty
- 24:17Speaker 3: percent from three. That's in the eighty sixth percentile nationally.
- 24:21Speaker 3: You're getting about three of those a games, so it's
- 24:23Speaker 3: not a huge number, but you're shooting it really well.
- 24:26Speaker 3: I just wonder if you have to continue to push
- 24:28Speaker 3: that a little bit and it makes sense, right, you
- 24:31Speaker 3: get some space and we talk about how Honors not
- 24:34Speaker 3: getting a lot of open looks or not getting a
- 24:36Speaker 3: lot of space to operate and getting pushed and held
- 24:38Speaker 3: and grabbed. Well, that's one way to avoid that if
- 24:40Speaker 3: you can get those turnovers and get out into open field.
- 24:43Speaker 1: While you cringing over there, I'm just thinking what Honor
- 24:45Speaker 1: could do if he if he gets open theok to
- 24:47Speaker 1: make if he's hot on if he's hot on game
- 24:50Speaker 1: day here, that could be a bunch of them.
- 24:52Speaker 2: Could be good.
- 24:53Speaker 1: It could be a bunch of them just saying.
- 24:57Speaker 3: Mississippi Valley State offensively is is also kind of interesting.
- 25:01Speaker 3: They've been their most effective part of their offensive game
- 25:05Speaker 3: has been in transition, but yet twenty seven percent of
- 25:08Speaker 3: their shots come in the final ten seconds of the
- 25:10Speaker 3: shot clock. Oh so it's kind of one of those
- 25:12Speaker 3: if they don't get the shot off early, it's been
- 25:14Speaker 3: bogging down and coming late, and I'm not sure that's
- 25:16Speaker 3: necessarily where they want to be. Design wise, two thirds
- 25:20Speaker 3: of their catch and shoot jumpers are guarded. Okay, so
- 25:24Speaker 3: most of their jump shots are guarded, So again you
- 25:27Speaker 3: wonder why they're struggling at different things. It's actually not
- 25:30Speaker 3: bad considering how much they struggle in other areas. Offensively,
- 25:34Speaker 3: they're thirty three percent from three on those guarded catch
- 25:36Speaker 3: and shoots, so they make difficult shots. They just man,
- 25:39Speaker 3: they take a lot of them. Guy you're going to
- 25:41Speaker 3: watch as a player by the name of Michael James.
- 25:43Speaker 3: He's their best offensive player, thirty eight percent from three,
- 25:46Speaker 3: really good in transition and elite coming out of timeouts, hoppy,
- 25:52Speaker 3: he's one of the best in the country and the
- 25:53Speaker 3: points per possession out of a timeout. So when if
- 25:57Speaker 3: the Delta Devils have the ball, coming out of a timeout,
- 25:59Speaker 3: find Michael James. He's likely to get the ball. He's
- 26:02Speaker 3: shooting nearly seventy percent from two and forty three percent
- 26:06Speaker 3: from three out of those timeouts, So.
- 26:08Speaker 2: They're drawing up plays for him in the day.
- 26:10Speaker 3: Yeah, he's the best player, so it makes some sense, right.
- 26:12Speaker 3: He's excellent on the catch and shoots forty nine percent
- 26:15Speaker 3: from three on guarded catch and shoots. You talk about
- 26:19Speaker 3: a dude that's got his hand up saying, can someone
- 26:20Speaker 3: get me an open look? He's banging down nearly half
- 26:23Speaker 3: his threes on guarded shots. He's seventy three percent of
- 26:28Speaker 3: those shots that he gets on the catch and shoots
- 26:30Speaker 3: are guarded. So watch Michael James. He'll most likely be
- 26:33Speaker 3: matched up against Jasper Floyd, which will probably make it
- 26:36Speaker 3: a tough day. But he's he's been a very good
- 26:39Speaker 3: player for them. A couple notes on West Virginia. Listen
- 26:44Speaker 3: to honors three point shooting so far, are you ready
- 26:46Speaker 3: went around the different spots for him? He's shooting forty
- 26:50Speaker 3: seven percent from three from the left corner, left corner,
- 26:54Speaker 3: he's shooting forty four percent. From the left wing. He's
- 26:57Speaker 3: shooting forty five percent from the right wing. He's shooting
- 27:00Speaker 3: forty one percent from the right corner. So of the
- 27:03Speaker 3: five spots or how many spots is that two, four
- 27:06Speaker 3: or five? Of the five total spots, he's shooting forty
- 27:10Speaker 3: forty one percent or better from all of those. The
- 27:12Speaker 3: one where he's not this kind of surprises hop. Yeah,
- 27:15Speaker 3: he's only thirty percent from the top of the key three.
- 27:18Speaker 2: Super weird.
- 27:18Speaker 3: Yeah, you would have thought that'd be a little bit
- 27:20Speaker 3: higher up. But he is just blistering the nets from
- 27:23Speaker 3: all over. A couple other notes on other players, Brendan
- 27:26Speaker 3: Laureate top three percent of players in college basketball and
- 27:29Speaker 3: block shots percentage, So not necessarily a surprise. Thought he
- 27:32Speaker 3: was really good defensively, elite athleticism, and he's been blocking
- 27:35Speaker 3: shots so far. The best offensive rating for West Virginia.
- 27:39Speaker 3: This may surprise you. It's on or huff if you
- 27:41Speaker 3: take the full season in its totality, So that's not
- 27:45Speaker 3: the surprise. The surprise to you may be it's actually
- 27:48Speaker 3: Jackson Fields with the best offensive numbers. Now it's a
- 27:51Speaker 3: smaller sample size, but I continue to think two things
- 27:54Speaker 3: with him. He continues to impress me when he's in there,
- 27:57Speaker 3: able to do a bunch of different things, a little
- 27:59Speaker 3: bit of a Swiss army knife offensively and then defensively,
- 28:03Speaker 3: just gives you another body. He's been playing five for Harlan.
- 28:06Speaker 3: He can block some shots, he can get some rebounds,
- 28:08Speaker 3: can move really well laterally, and he's a guy that's
- 28:11Speaker 3: just going to continue to get better. It also is
- 28:13Speaker 3: just disappointing when you see how well he's playing early
- 28:16Speaker 3: that you didn't have him not only for the early games,
- 28:19Speaker 3: but those three months of practice that he missed, because
- 28:21Speaker 3: I do think that put this group behind a little
- 28:24Speaker 3: bit where it could be. So Jackson Field's giving you
- 28:26Speaker 3: some valuable minutes since he's returned a couple numbers on
- 28:29Speaker 3: Jasper Floyd. He's twenty third nationally in steel percentage, which
- 28:34Speaker 3: puts him in the top one percent of all players
- 28:37Speaker 3: that are graded. So he's literally twenty three of twenty
- 28:40Speaker 3: three hundred and eight players that are graded. He is
- 28:42Speaker 3: twenty third, top one percent of all players in steel percentage,
- 28:46Speaker 3: and he's top eighth nationally in assist straight So Jasper
- 28:50Speaker 3: at the points probably one of those guys we underrat
- 28:53Speaker 3: him because he's not going to be flashy. He's going
- 28:55Speaker 3: to be steady. He won't have a ton of games
- 28:57Speaker 3: like he did earlier in the year when he had
- 28:58Speaker 3: twenty five to start this, and he just plays. He
- 29:01Speaker 3: does a lot of different things for you, and it's
- 29:04Speaker 3: why he's a guy Ross Hodge said trusts as much
- 29:06Speaker 3: as any player that he's had. You saw the job
- 29:08Speaker 3: he did defensively on Bruce Sorton for the bulk of
- 29:11Speaker 3: that game against Ohio State, and then his steel and
- 29:13Speaker 3: assist numbers are really good.
- 29:14Speaker 2: Yeah, good numbers. That's all good. Yeah, yeah, good.
- 29:17Speaker 3: So that's probably enough for you.
- 29:19Speaker 2: That's good stuff.
- 29:20Speaker 3: I mean, I can go more, but this should be
- 29:21Speaker 3: a game. West Virginia gets back on track, play well,
- 29:25Speaker 3: get some confidence up. These are always tough games. As
- 29:27Speaker 3: you're getting ready to head into the Christmas break right,
- 29:30Speaker 3: you generally get guys that are thinking about other stuff here.
- 29:33Speaker 3: But hopefully Westerndion comes out handles their business. They get
- 29:36Speaker 3: away for a couple of days, then come back and
- 29:39Speaker 3: away we go.
- 29:42Speaker 1: Iowa State, Cincinnata, Kansas, Houston, Colorado, Arizona State, Arizona, Kansas State, Baylor, Cincinnata,
- 29:48Speaker 1: Texas Tech.
- 29:49Speaker 2: You know that West that road trip, that Arizona road trip.
- 29:53Speaker 2: Ouch that's hard. Yeah, but Mike, Mike, Mike.
- 29:57Speaker 3: Sorry, There's there's really no moment where you look that
- 30:00Speaker 3: and go all right, here we go. I do think
- 30:02Speaker 3: it's like we said the other day, you take your
- 30:04Speaker 3: swings against the Iowa States and the Houstons of the world,
- 30:07Speaker 3: and then there's that big group of middle in this
- 30:10Speaker 3: Big twelve that is really good. The bottom of the
- 30:12Speaker 3: middle are going to be really good basketball teams. And
- 30:15Speaker 3: where do you fit in there? How many games do
- 30:17Speaker 3: you go in and win against Cincinnata and Kansas State
- 30:21Speaker 3: and Colorado and Arizona State and Utah all of those
- 30:25Speaker 3: teams that are bunched up. Even throw Baylor in there,
- 30:27Speaker 3: who has some extreme talent, but they're trying to figure
- 30:29Speaker 3: out what they are. A team that's that's won to
- 30:32Speaker 3: Natty before in this league, but they're bunched in that
- 30:34Speaker 3: big group of middle teams in there.
- 30:37Speaker 1: The Ken Palm computer has West Virginia beating Mississippi Valley
- 30:41Speaker 1: State eighty four to fifty. It gives West Virginia a
- 30:45Speaker 1: ninety nine point nine percent chance of winning the contest,
- 30:49Speaker 1: So good opportunity. I think Niall Howitt might be getting
- 30:54Speaker 1: fired up, don't you should be.
- 30:56Speaker 2: He should be.
- 30:57Speaker 3: He should get some clock. Got to take care of
- 30:58Speaker 3: your business so he can get it.
- 31:00Speaker 1: Get Nile out there, let him get some chick in
- 31:01Speaker 1: there before the before the Christmas break.
- 31:05Speaker 2: Go out and I know what you said, Bray, but
- 31:06Speaker 2: also you're coming off these tough loss. You had a
- 31:10Speaker 2: lot of practice. Go out, execute what you've practiced, have
- 31:13Speaker 2: a good game, feel good about going.
- 31:14Speaker 1: Into the holiday exactly right, Go home, get rested, come
- 31:19Speaker 1: on back, go ball football wise, did you say you
- 31:21Speaker 1: had something.
- 31:22Speaker 3: Well, I just thought this was was This was one
- 31:24Speaker 3: of those times. I don't know that we dive into
- 31:26Speaker 3: this so deeply, but I was appropriate for today. Kerchival
- 31:30Speaker 3: and I are doing those bowl game radios on Bowl
- 31:32Speaker 3: Season Radio.
- 31:32Speaker 2: Did you last night?
- 31:33Speaker 1: You guys sound like a fine tune symphony orchestra.
- 31:36Speaker 2: Thank you. We've worked together before.
- 31:38Speaker 3: Appreciate that. So we're doing the game last night. We're
- 31:40Speaker 3: in there and we had there were four TVs going.
- 31:43Speaker 3: We had a couple of games on there. Well. One
- 31:45Speaker 3: of the games that caught my eye was the National
- 31:49Speaker 3: Junior College D one World's Championship.
- 31:53Speaker 2: They played that last night. They did play that lot Frisco.
- 31:55Speaker 3: Where do they play that thing. Where do they play
- 31:58Speaker 3: in Texas? But not in Frisco. But it's very good.
- 31:59Speaker 3: That was in Texas. Looked a little chilly there in Texas.
- 32:02Speaker 3: But what caught my eye it's Iowa Western was one
- 32:04Speaker 3: of the teams.
- 32:05Speaker 2: Freck and Iowa. Everything's got to do something with Iowa.
- 32:08Speaker 3: And the Hutchinson Junior College Mountaineers were playing, and so
- 32:17Speaker 3: I saw it was Hutchinson, and I thought, you know,
- 32:18Speaker 3: we was down there with that thing at rich I
- 32:20Speaker 3: felt like we talked about Hutchinson a lot. So I
- 32:22Speaker 3: went back to I don't know you know this. I
- 32:25Speaker 3: don't know that you knew this had their whole defense,
- 32:28Speaker 3: just took their whole defense, just went over their coach
- 32:30Speaker 3: and we'll take all of them. Just Toppy, right, I
- 32:33Speaker 3: just will take every guy on defense for Hutchinson, just
- 32:36Speaker 3: bring him on over. So I was watching that's I
- 32:38Speaker 3: said to Hop, I said, hey, check this out.
- 32:40Speaker 2: Here.
- 32:40Speaker 3: We had there's four guys starting on defense for Hutchinson
- 32:43Speaker 3: that West Virginia is gonna get and something may be taken.
- 32:47Speaker 3: More than the four.
- 32:48Speaker 2: I really taken all of them.
- 32:50Speaker 3: That was I'll say this, I have not watched a
- 32:52Speaker 3: junior college game as much as I did last night.
- 32:55Speaker 3: For a while. That was good football. Yes, I mean
- 32:58Speaker 3: you might have been able to pick that up and
- 33:00Speaker 3: all due respect to the teams put it in the
- 33:01Speaker 3: Cure Bowl, and it might have been got I mean,
- 33:03Speaker 3: those dudes were they were playing both sides of that. Now,
- 33:09Speaker 3: Hutch who.
- 33:11Speaker 2: I didn't win Iowa Western, But we're watching a game
- 33:14Speaker 2: in Brad's going, that guy's coming, that guy's coming, that
- 33:16Speaker 2: guy's coming.
- 33:16Speaker 3: Next, my guy forty four kJ Hanson, I like, I'm
- 33:19Speaker 3: pulling Henson. I'm pointing him out to I said, watch
- 33:21Speaker 3: this guy as he busts through two offensive linemen and
- 33:25Speaker 3: just is hawking the quarterback. And they did. He and
- 33:28Speaker 3: twenty one Darius Wiley was a dude that, like you
- 33:30Speaker 3: look out and went big big guy. Ray Sean Reynolds
- 33:34Speaker 3: number one, was a corner safety in that like he
- 33:36Speaker 3: like long they were striking like what they were talking about,
- 33:39Speaker 3: And what did Rich say to is that it really
- 33:41Speaker 3: stood out to me. Zach and Rich both talked about
- 33:43Speaker 3: this defensively, the first thing they're looking for outside of
- 33:46Speaker 3: size is and outside of speed is when they hit,
- 33:50Speaker 3: they're not slowing down. They speed up through the hit
- 33:55Speaker 3: and forty four. kJ Henson had one of those on
- 33:57Speaker 3: the quarterback ers like he accelerated through the hit. Yeah,
- 34:02Speaker 3: so I just thought it was. I don't know there's
- 34:04Speaker 3: any shattering information there that you was on ESPN. Yeah,
- 34:09Speaker 3: it was.
- 34:12Speaker 2: To watch those we're playing.
- 34:14Speaker 3: Anyway, four starters on the hutch defense are all committed
- 34:17Speaker 3: to West first signed it.
- 34:18Speaker 2: Was so they changed the nickname of the school to
- 34:20Speaker 2: Hutchinson Mountain.
- 34:21Speaker 3: I don't know that many know that. I don't know
- 34:23Speaker 3: that many know that. But the Hutchinson Mountaineers last night
- 34:25Speaker 3: gave it a good run. Graduations in Iowa Western on
- 34:28Speaker 3: their win. But uh, West Virginia has some guys coming in.
- 34:31Speaker 3: And we've said this before, now this is in all seriousness.
- 34:33Speaker 3: The JUCO ranks are probably an underrated part of college
- 34:37Speaker 3: football now right because so so much attention on the
- 34:40Speaker 3: transfer portal. Can you go into the junior college ranks
- 34:43Speaker 3: kind of zig while people are zagging? Okay, everybody's in
- 34:45Speaker 3: the portal, and and Rich and this staff have kind
- 34:48Speaker 3: of gone back into the JUCO ranks and pulled some
- 34:50Speaker 3: guys that hopefully and those are guys hot. Those aren't
- 34:53Speaker 3: development guys. Those are guys that you need to step
- 34:54Speaker 3: in right away, like we need to be calling kJ
- 34:57Speaker 3: Henson's name next year as making somebody Jerry Wiley off
- 35:01Speaker 3: the edge has to be a guy that you call
- 35:03Speaker 3: his name a bunch during the games.
- 35:04Speaker 1: They're not bringing j season to sit down. They're bringing
- 35:07Speaker 1: them in there to play.
- 35:08Speaker 3: Now, like ray Sean Reynolds, Damon Allen. You've got dudes,
- 35:11Speaker 3: you've got to get in here and be right of
- 35:13Speaker 3: guards right away.
- 35:14Speaker 1: The freshman, I mean, the freshmen are the ones that
- 35:16Speaker 1: they'll they'll take a right shirt on. Not that they're
- 35:19Speaker 1: going to, but those are the guys. If anybody, it'll
- 35:21Speaker 1: be those guys. They got to get productivity out of
- 35:24Speaker 1: the Portal kids and out of the JC kids.
- 35:25Speaker 3: Yeah, so anxious to watch. That was fun to watch.

- 37:33Speaker 3: to all the folks. We've sold out apparently this morning
- 37:35Speaker 3: it's early sold out already over at Mountaineer Roasting, there's
- 37:38Speaker 3: no more game, No more bag, so we'll have to
- 37:41Speaker 3: get Rusty on there. He'll make some more if you
- 37:42Speaker 3: want to go over and get it. But Game Day
- 37:44Speaker 3: Grind available at episode eight hundred dot com as well,
- 37:46Speaker 3: but sold out already this morning. Busy morning over there.
- 37:49Speaker 2: I did finish. The dribbling part was dribbling wasn't initially allowed. Yeah, okay, yeah, okay,
- 37:55Speaker 2: so this is I think this is funny. So the
- 37:59Speaker 2: way people got around it was you could pass, but
- 38:03Speaker 2: guys started bouncing it once to themselves as a way
- 38:07Speaker 2: to get around, like, well, that's not a dribble. I'm
- 38:09Speaker 2: passing it to myself the floor passed it to you. Yeah,
- 38:14Speaker 2: And they said, wait, wait, wait, we got to change it.
- 38:16Speaker 2: So then in nineteen oh one they permitted you to
- 38:19Speaker 2: bounce it once, and continuous dribbling became legal in nineteen
- 38:24Speaker 2: oh nine and became a core part of the game.
- 38:26Speaker 3: I wonder if that's where Harget got that idea when
- 38:29Speaker 3: he threw it off the backboard at that time to himself.
- 38:33Speaker 1: He bounced off the floor. Holman Harley bounced it off
- 38:36Speaker 1: the floor, was off the floor. Harmon Harley did it
- 38:38Speaker 1: off the floor. In an NC DOUBLEA tournament game.
- 38:41Speaker 2: It was the most incredible thing, I guess against Old Dominion.
- 38:45Speaker 2: I mean, wait to say, let's put this into context.
- 38:48Speaker 2: This was an NC.
- 38:49Speaker 1: Double A tournament basketball game, and I'm not it may
- 38:55Speaker 1: have been in the first half. And he took off,
- 39:00Speaker 1: find a breakaway and bounced it down the middle of
- 39:03Speaker 1: the lane to go up and catch it and dunk.
- 39:05Speaker 3: It as you do, and.
- 39:08Speaker 2: Did it successfully.
- 39:09Speaker 1: No, didn't get it, didn't go down, and no, an
- 39:12Speaker 1: Old Dominion got pissed and they went on a run.
- 39:15Speaker 1: Tom Young was the coach at Old Dominion, the former
- 39:18Speaker 1: Rutgers coach.
- 39:19Speaker 2: He the Old Dominion.
- 39:20Speaker 1: It caught their fire and they and they boat raced us.
- 39:24Speaker 2: Was coach Catlet not happy, not happy, not happy. Oh,
- 39:29Speaker 2: I thought he made it.
- 39:29Speaker 1: I think that's the same kind of a deal like
- 39:31Speaker 1: that infuriated Old Dominion and they went on a roll
- 39:34Speaker 1: similar to the ninety three Sugar Bowl when Steve Perkins
- 39:38Speaker 1: tried to rip the helmet off of the or a
- 39:40Speaker 1: late hit on the quarterback against Florida after we had
- 39:43Speaker 1: scored the first touchdown and Florida went, oh.
- 39:45Speaker 2: Is that right?
- 39:46Speaker 1: And they ran us off the field.
- 39:49Speaker 3: Gave you an Old Dominion reference there. We just did
- 39:52Speaker 3: their game last night. Quinn Hennekele had a nice game.
- 39:55Speaker 3: He was in, of course for Colton Joseph, thousand yard rusher,
- 39:58Speaker 3: who is a quarterback that is in the portal.
- 40:00Speaker 2: Tone.
- 40:00Speaker 3: I don't know if you knew that Culton Joseph Old
- 40:03Speaker 3: Dominion in Familiar, Familiar, that we'll be in the portal. Listen,
- 40:07Speaker 3: he'll be in the portal.
- 40:09Speaker 2: You guys, I understand that have been mentioning his name
- 40:13Speaker 2: so much, and then when I ask you, like, oh,
- 40:15Speaker 2: do you know something.
- 40:16Speaker 3: About I don't know anything. I'm just saying doing my
- 40:19Speaker 3: research for the game. Culton Joseph's a heck of a quarterback.
- 40:22Speaker 3: Had a thousand yard resting season, thirty four touchdowns. I
- 40:25Speaker 3: noted that, and he sat the game out last night.
- 40:27Speaker 3: I didn't play in the curveball because he's going to
- 40:29Speaker 3: be entering the portal.
- 40:30Speaker 2: He's one of the young men that will be putting
- 40:31Speaker 2: his name into the portal.
- 40:33Speaker 3: A lot of young men putting their name in the portal,
- 40:35Speaker 3: fitting nicely here.
- 40:37Speaker 1: Well, I think Brad just gave you some statistical data
- 40:39Speaker 1: that would seem to comply with coach Rodriguez's style of play.
- 40:42Speaker 3: I'm not saying I'm not truly, I'm not saying anything there.
- 40:45Speaker 3: I just say that's that's a really good quarterback. That's
- 40:47Speaker 3: a guy that's going in the portal.
- 40:48Speaker 2: You've mentioned it to me sixteen times.
- 40:50Speaker 3: Because I did a lot of research on Old Dominion.
- 40:52Speaker 3: We did a game with him. I'd have a lot
- 40:54Speaker 3: of research on them.
- 40:54Speaker 2: Well, the guy's not playing, Why did your research him?
- 40:56Speaker 3: Was Iron Brown from USP's going in the portal too?
- 40:59Speaker 3: He was very good well player at history to throw
- 41:01Speaker 3: for three thousand, run for a thousand. That young man's
- 41:03Speaker 3: going in the portal as well.
- 41:07Speaker 1: I just the off season doesn't even exist anymore.
- 41:11Speaker 2: There is no offseason.
- 41:12Speaker 1: So we did this batch of recruiting recently and now
- 41:15Speaker 1: we're just like in this teeny little holding period and
- 41:17Speaker 1: then the door opens January second for the portal to open,
- 41:19Speaker 1: and then it's gonna starts, just gonna start a cure
- 41:21Speaker 1: and then you know what's gonna happen, What like January
- 41:24Speaker 1: will be done and all of a sudden you're like, hey,
- 41:26Speaker 1: what's going on. Yeah, they're doing off season workout in
- 41:28Speaker 1: February because February only has like nine days. I think
- 41:30Speaker 1: the first start and then and then if you go
- 41:32Speaker 1: like what are they doing while spring ball start? And
- 41:34Speaker 1: then it's just like oh then we got OTA's and
- 41:36Speaker 1: it's like it never stopped.
- 41:37Speaker 2: Never stops.
- 41:37Speaker 3: That's why Kertschen and I were watching film last night
- 41:39Speaker 3: on the Mountaineers.
- 41:41Speaker 2: Let's do this.
- 41:42Speaker 3: I want to watch the young men.
- 41:44Speaker 2: It was, it was, it was, it was. It was
- 41:47Speaker 2: good football, it was entertaining those guys were playing.

- 44:18Speaker 1: What are the chances the game against Ohio State and
- 44:20Speaker 1: Cleveland can become a yearly game. I've went to these games,
- 44:24Speaker 1: we've played them there and the atmospheres a blast, feels
- 44:27Speaker 1: like an ncaattorney. Thanks for everything you guys do, And.
- 44:30Speaker 3: We talked about that after the game. I don't know
- 44:32Speaker 3: about becoming a yearly event there. But I think that's great.
- 44:36Speaker 3: That's a great neutral site game from Mountaineer fans. That's
- 44:39Speaker 3: fun to play that particular school in Cleveland. I really
- 44:42Speaker 3: I've enjoyed each time we've been there, outside obviously of
- 44:44Speaker 3: the result last couple.
- 44:46Speaker 1: Yeah, good spot they the last time, not this most recent,
- 44:50Speaker 1: but the previous was between Christmas and New Year's better
- 44:54Speaker 1: opportunity to draw a bigger crowd. You had the weather
- 44:57Speaker 1: and you had a light crowd to begin with their
- 44:59Speaker 1: the other the night they enlisted six thousands of the attempt. Yeah,
- 45:03Speaker 1: this is from our buddy, Julie. Oh my, Garrett Ford
- 45:09Speaker 1: such a giant hero, supernatural, a hero to me as
- 45:13Speaker 1: an undergrad girl back in the seventies. Garrett was so
- 45:15Speaker 1: welcoming and thoughtful and kind to us. She was a cheerleader.
- 45:19Speaker 1: Garrett exemplified integrity. It used to be that academics were
- 45:22Speaker 1: secondary maybe still or a misstep or a challenge nobody
- 45:25Speaker 1: wanted to acknowledge. But Garrett care truly cared, only wished
- 45:28Speaker 1: success for all of us. He did the drudgery shift,
- 45:32Speaker 1: holding athletes accountable for performance academically and always encouraging and
- 45:36Speaker 1: cheerleading everyone to do their best. What a wonderful human being.
- 45:39Speaker 1: He made a difference to me personally from Miss Julie.
- 45:43Speaker 2: He was also back in the day a loyal talk
- 45:46Speaker 2: line listener when I used to host a oh did
- 45:48Speaker 2: he periodic show? Yeah, we did a show, I did,
- 45:51Speaker 2: but I would run into him and he'd always bring
- 45:54Speaker 2: up He'd bring something up and we'd watched into some
- 45:56Speaker 2: big discussion. It was always fun hooking up with Garrett.
- 46:00Speaker 1: I've watched every basketball game so far, and I noticed
- 46:03Speaker 1: at home games there are always fans sitting on the
- 46:08Speaker 1: team bench. What's up with that, Anthony from Folinsby? Well,
- 46:13Speaker 1: no more scholarship limitations. They're just putting other four eighteen nineteen.
- 46:17Speaker 2: No.
- 46:18Speaker 1: So the Big Twelve approved two years ago the ability
- 46:23Speaker 1: for schools to put what they call I don't know
- 46:26Speaker 1: if they call them this, but VIP seats right near
- 46:30Speaker 1: team benches, just basically the same thing that the NBA does.
- 46:34Speaker 1: And so West Virginia didn't do it last year, they
- 46:37Speaker 1: are doing it this year. And there are four seats
- 46:40Speaker 1: that are near but aren't on the bench. There's a
- 46:42Speaker 1: separation period, right, it's a different It's not contiguous, it's continuous.
- 46:48Speaker 3: There's a little correct and they're set back, just back
- 46:52Speaker 3: a little bit. But point Anthony's right, for the most
- 46:54Speaker 3: part is down right where the team bench area is.
- 46:56Speaker 1: Again, you know, we oftentimes talk about revenue streams and
- 47:00Speaker 1: got to get a revenue stream. So that's a revenue
- 47:02Speaker 1: stream that you can sell those seats, and I think
- 47:05Speaker 1: more are coming.
- 47:07Speaker 2: One of the things Men has talked about is creating
- 47:11Speaker 2: additional premium opportunities.
- 47:15Speaker 1: That would be one of them. Yeah, Texter, Dear three guys.
- 47:19Speaker 1: Another P one listener sent you a picture of his
- 47:21Speaker 1: nineteen seventy WVU beanie last week, which reminded me of
- 47:25Speaker 1: the WVU beanie collection in our Mountaineer room. Father in
- 47:30Speaker 1: law Bob Wilson, a forty one freshman nineteen forty one,
- 47:33Speaker 1: same class as Don Notts, and the above picture shows
- 47:37Speaker 1: is West Virginia beanie. My wife Sandy's nineteen sixty nine
- 47:41Speaker 1: beanie accompanies this note written on Bob's beanie, in addition
- 47:45Speaker 1: to his name is beat pitt Sink Navy and ram
- 47:49Speaker 1: Fordham note the retro version of defeat Pittsburgh Foe Mountaineers
- 47:54Speaker 1: John S. Marshall, B Max Saint Clair's Villellahiah.
- 47:58Speaker 2: Got to get the young men from Pittsburgh, got to
- 48:00Speaker 2: defeat them, defeat them. Let's go now, let's ram for them.
- 48:03Speaker 2: Let's ram them, Let's ram them. Let's give for them.
- 48:05Speaker 2: What for? We'll show them they should have never come here.
- 48:09Speaker 3: By golly, always good to hear from John S. Marshall.
- 48:13Speaker 1: By the way, absolutely tremendous, three guys before the game
- 48:15Speaker 1: is brought to us by Jan Dill's Attorneys at Law.
- 48:19Speaker 1: They simply won't take no for an answer if you
- 48:21Speaker 1: or someone that you know needs help when it comes
- 48:24Speaker 1: to military benefits and disability claims. By all means, they
- 48:29Speaker 1: are the folks to go to. Why because that's what
- 48:32Speaker 1: they do every single day, and they do it in
- 48:36Speaker 1: all fifty of our states. They've got clients throughout the country.
- 48:39Speaker 1: They won't take no for an answer. So military benefits,
- 48:42Speaker 1: social security claims, contact Jan Dill's Attorneys at Law, and
- 48:47Speaker 1: that does not cost you a single penny to begin
- 48:50Speaker 1: that process. They encourage you to do it right from
- 48:52Speaker 1: the beginning, before you try to get going in yourselves
- 48:54Speaker 1: with them, because they know how to work it, so
- 48:59Speaker 1: to speak, they know how to do it. Jan Dill's
- 49:02Speaker 1: attorneys at law. Texter, Merry Christmas to you and all
- 49:08Speaker 1: your families. I just listened to the podcast, and I
- 49:10Speaker 1: also agree that this basketball team is close and will
- 49:14Speaker 1: get better, as will others. My biggest concern is that
- 49:17Speaker 1: we're one third of the way through the season and
- 49:19Speaker 1: still trying to figure things out. Probably not a stunner
- 49:25Speaker 1: when you consider that you've got every player new on
- 49:28Speaker 1: the team, so you're starting there, and then you had
- 49:31Speaker 1: right a couple of guys that weren't with you from
- 49:34Speaker 1: the beginning. So not a stunner, to be quite honest
- 49:38Speaker 1: with you. The question is how long it will take
- 49:41Speaker 1: to get gelled? That's the question, Texter. This was really interesting.
- 49:48Speaker 1: I did not know this talk about always a West
- 49:51Speaker 1: Virginia connection. The Steelers beat the Dolphins Monday to extend
- 49:56Speaker 1: their home Monday night football winning streak to twenty three games.
- 50:00Speaker 1: This is your reminder. The last quarterback to beat Pittsburgh
- 50:04Speaker 1: on Monday Night football in Pittsburgh was Jeff Hostetler.
- 50:08Speaker 3: Is that true?
- 50:09Speaker 2: Did not know that? Maybe not true?
- 50:11Speaker 1: You check that October of nineteen and ninety one, Check
- 50:16Speaker 1: that October fourteen, ninety one.
- 50:18Speaker 3: It's remarkable if that's a true statement, My gosh, yeah,
- 50:22Speaker 3: it was pretty wild.
- 50:23Speaker 2: You know when I watched I like watching the Steelers.
- 50:26Speaker 2: I mean that's a regional following for us. But you
- 50:29Speaker 2: know what I do, I just watched.
- 50:30Speaker 3: Zach Zach Fraser.
- 50:32Speaker 2: I don't watch where the ball is going. I just
- 50:33Speaker 2: watched Zach Fraser just murdy people down. It was pretty good. Huh,
- 50:38Speaker 2: it's pretty good. Yeah, he's pretty good. Yeah, super happy
- 50:41Speaker 2: for him, super happy for him. Stealers versus let me
- 50:44Speaker 2: see Giants? Yeah, that could be it. How do you want?
- 50:48Speaker 2: You just do this? Okay? The search is this?
- 50:51Speaker 1: When was the Who was the last team to beat
- 50:54Speaker 1: Pittsburgh at home in Monday night football?
- 50:56Speaker 2: That's the search? Well, I do see the Giants won
- 51:00Speaker 2: twenty three twenty.
- 51:02Speaker 1: Kurtzels this Now he's on it. This is gonna spark
- 51:05Speaker 1: a whole new interest for him. He's gonna jump off that.
- 51:08Speaker 1: He's gonna jump off that James Naismith Bandwagon in a second.
- 51:11Speaker 2: Hosteller was fourteen of twenty five for one hundred and
- 51:13Speaker 2: sixteen yards and drops.
- 51:15Speaker 1: Probably a lot of drops there too, was if he
- 51:18Speaker 1: was fourteen to twenty five, probably a lot of drops
- 51:20Speaker 1: we're helping him.
- 51:20Speaker 2: No, Mark Bavarro probably just dropping that thing. Oh, here's
- 51:24Speaker 2: the names for you. Here were the here were the
- 51:27Speaker 2: quarterbacks for Pittsburgh in that game, Neil O'Donnell and Bubby Brister. Yeah,
- 51:31Speaker 2: that could be that could be a loss, that could
- 51:33Speaker 2: be a lot. I could see how that could happen.
