- 0:24Speaker 1: it's a long walk. It was a long walk.
- 0:26Speaker 2: It's a long flight.
- 0:27Speaker 1: That was a long night for a bunch of different reasons.
- 0:29Speaker 1: We're gonna get into those and more coming up. This
- 0:32Speaker 1: is episode six and fifty four and it's brought to
- 0:35Speaker 1: us by Gomart. Get yourself that Gomart rewards card. Download

- 0:47Speaker 1: Three guys brought to us by lou Wendel Marine Sales
- 0:49Speaker 1: in Saint Albans. They well, they sell family fun. Visit
- 0:53Speaker 1: lou Wendelmarinesales dot Com. Stunned to see how many lou
- 0:57Speaker 1: Wendel Marine pontoons were in lake when we drove by.
- 1:01Speaker 2: I bet.
- 1:02Speaker 1: Three guys brought to us by Tutors Biscuit World, Start
- 1:04Speaker 1: your day the home made way with a Tutor's Biscuit
- 1:08Speaker 1: by Comac's Business Systems, keeping West Virginia's business data safe,
- 1:13Speaker 1: secure and efficient for twenty five years by Jen Dill's
- 1:17Speaker 1: attorneys at law. They simply won't take no for an answer,
- 1:22Speaker 1: and by the Conley CPA group providing value beyond numbers,
- 1:29Speaker 1: Conley's CPA will bring us spreads on stats coming up
- 1:31Speaker 1: in a little bit. Brad has dissected the numbers, probably
- 1:34Speaker 1: has a few more refined numbers than normal. Normally we record,
- 1:38Speaker 1: you know, twelve ish hours after the game's over, but
- 1:42Speaker 1: we are doing this Sunday morning. So have those numbers
- 1:46Speaker 1: kind of like matured a little bit?
- 1:47Speaker 3: You say, yeah, they came home, but some a little bit,
- 1:50Speaker 3: little more sure.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Okay, that's cool, all right. So West Virginia completes the
- 1:54Speaker 1: half point of the season with a two and four
- 1:56Speaker 1: overall record after a thirty eight to twenty loss to
- 2:00Speaker 1: the Cougars of BYU. West Virginia went into the game
- 2:04Speaker 1: it's first ever in provo, as a twenty ish point underdog,
- 2:09Speaker 1: and they end up losing by a score thirty eight
- 2:12Speaker 1: to twenty four. The Mountaineers trailed fourteen zip at the
- 2:14Speaker 1: end of the first quarter. They were down twenty eight
- 2:16Speaker 1: to ten at the break. West Virginia does outscore BYU
- 2:21Speaker 1: fourteen to ten in the second half, but let's face it,
- 2:24Speaker 1: for all intent and purposes, the game was decided in
- 2:28Speaker 1: the opening half. We'll get into the numbers and more
- 2:31Speaker 1: textual healing is coming up. A lot of people made
- 2:35Speaker 1: the trip to Provo. There was a contingent of mountaineer fans,
- 2:39Speaker 1: and a lot of them have written in about the
- 2:42Speaker 1: experience that they had. We'll get into those in textual healing.
- 2:47Speaker 1: If you're a regular of this show, you know, things
- 2:49Speaker 1: begin obviously with hobbies obvious observations. By the way, that
- 2:55Speaker 1: is a very nice combo there. That shirt, that white
- 2:58Speaker 1: with that star City blue over that old school logo.
- 3:01Speaker 1: It's pretty nice. Thank you.
- 3:02Speaker 2: Brad gave me that from Final Looking film.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just a delivery mechanism credit to Phil Nils.
- 3:08Speaker 1: But I did get it.
- 3:09Speaker 2: I mean just stuff. My swag just shows up, like
- 3:12Speaker 2: Brad just show we show up somewhere and Brad just
- 3:14Speaker 2: throws me short here wear this, Okay, I got it.
- 3:17Speaker 2: I like it. I'll were today for that reason.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, absolutely, all right. So obviously what do we know?
- 3:22Speaker 2: Uh, well, first, it's rare that a w WU football
- 3:25Speaker 2: game takes two days to play. It's like a cricket match,
- 3:30Speaker 2: you know. Where it like goes on for days at
- 3:32Speaker 2: a time.
- 3:33Speaker 1: It did start Friday, nice, and it's Saturday.
- 3:36Speaker 2: Morning, Nurday morning. I stayed up, watched and listened to you, Tony.
- 3:39Speaker 2: You had great energy right to the end. I was
- 3:41Speaker 2: sagging a little bit there near the end, but I
- 3:42Speaker 2: stayed with it till the end. You know, Brad, two
- 3:45Speaker 2: words that come to mind now are halfway point of
- 3:47Speaker 2: this season for West Virginia. One is inconsistent and the
- 3:51Speaker 2: other is limited. The Mountaineers are limited on what they
- 3:55Speaker 2: can do. You know that now six games in they
- 3:58Speaker 2: are limited, and I know you'll get into the staff
- 4:00Speaker 2: that back that up. And then inconsistent, inconsistent defensive play.
- 4:03Speaker 2: We thought after a couple of games this defense was
- 4:05Speaker 2: going to be a strength, and now we see some
- 4:07Speaker 2: inconsistency over the last couple of games. Gave it a
- 4:11Speaker 2: lot of big plays against BYU. So just inconsistent. And
- 4:16Speaker 2: you know, West Virginia is just not offensive. We A
- 4:18Speaker 2: is not capable of putting together big drives. Just can't
- 4:20Speaker 2: do it. They need short fields, they need things to
- 4:24Speaker 2: go their way. W when you can't convert on the
- 4:28Speaker 2: one foot line, that to me was very revealing not
- 4:31Speaker 2: that we needed a reveal of that of that offensive line.
- 4:34Speaker 2: We know the offensive line struggles, but when you can't
- 4:37Speaker 2: get in from the one foot line, you don't deserve
- 4:38Speaker 2: to get a touchdown. And I know that maybe some
- 4:43Speaker 2: people will say, well, why did you run it up
- 4:45Speaker 2: the middle?
- 4:45Speaker 1: Why do you run it?
- 4:46Speaker 2: Well, Don Egland used to say, that's the shortest distance
- 4:49Speaker 2: to the end zone, but you couldn't get you couldn't
- 4:51Speaker 2: get a foot. And had had the game not wrapped
- 4:57Speaker 2: up early Saturday morning and been Friday and eightes, I
- 5:00Speaker 2: think bear Bachmeyer might have gotten more national attention. Now,
- 5:03Speaker 2: maybe it's opponent adjusted, Brad, but he was solid three
- 5:07Speaker 2: point fifty one. That was a solid game by him.
- 5:10Speaker 2: But nationally, the fact that it ended it's Saturday morning
- 5:16Speaker 2: and the national people were getting ready for Saturday, his
- 5:19Speaker 2: performance probably fell through the national cracks a little bit
- 5:23Speaker 2: to be determined. How good BYU is. They look pretty good,
- 5:27Speaker 2: but that also is opponent adjusted. Their opponent their record
- 5:32Speaker 2: needs to be opponent adjusted. But now they get into
- 5:35Speaker 2: the meat of their schedule at Arizona rivalry game against
- 5:38Speaker 2: Utah Iowa State and then at Texas Tech. So we'll
- 5:41Speaker 2: see how good BYU really is you think they got
- 5:44Speaker 2: they got some losses coming. Not sure what to think
- 5:47Speaker 2: about Khalil Wilkins. Props to him for going out there
- 5:50Speaker 2: as a red shirt freshman in a one of the
- 5:52Speaker 2: toughest environments you have and starting in that game and
- 5:55Speaker 2: playing in that game and running the ball twenty three times?
- 5:59Speaker 2: How many twenty three took twenty three? In Pat White's
- 6:03Speaker 2: final year with Rich Rodriguez his junior year, Pat White
- 6:06Speaker 2: average fifteen carries a game. Wilkins goes out and runs
- 6:09Speaker 2: the ball twenty three times. I mean, was he He's
- 6:12Speaker 2: got to be in ane bath today? And I know
- 6:16Speaker 2: that's because Rich wants to run the quarterback. And also
- 6:19Speaker 2: how effective are you running the football? And Kohali ol
- 6:22Speaker 2: Wilkins not very effective passing the football. So that was
- 6:25Speaker 2: their best play, one of their best plays offensively. But
- 6:28Speaker 2: man twenty three times. Excellent Time for the week off.
- 6:32Speaker 2: UCF has to go to Cincinnati this Saturday. In Cincinnati,
- 6:38Speaker 2: that's going to be a tough lift for UCF. And
- 6:40Speaker 2: then you go to UCF, So you know, I can
- 6:44Speaker 2: find We'll get into UCF. I know next week, but
- 6:46Speaker 2: I could find despite everything I just said, I could
- 6:49Speaker 2: find a couple of reasons, and I think we'll have
- 6:51Speaker 2: some reasons to be reasonably optimistic going to UCF. But
- 6:56Speaker 2: we'll see. So those are my obviously. Oh one other thing.
- 6:58Speaker 2: Remember last week I said that a team that is
- 7:03Speaker 2: a more than three touchdown underdog usually doesn't win.
- 7:06Speaker 1: You did say that, obviously.
- 7:07Speaker 2: You said that, Yeah, yeah, might have watched the Penn
- 7:09Speaker 2: State UCLA game yesterday. I had a little bit of
- 7:12Speaker 2: a situation, a little bit of the situation here, So
- 7:13Speaker 2: it does happen, although it is rare. Those are my
- 7:16Speaker 2: obvious observations.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Well done, thank you, well done.
- 7:20Speaker 2: So bad any feedback on this, I agree with.
- 7:23Speaker 1: I agree with everything he said. It's obviously their obvious point.
- 7:27Speaker 3: It continues to be the defense that surprises me, guys,
- 7:30Speaker 3: because I think they're listen, this program wasn't built on
- 7:33Speaker 3: moral victories.
- 7:33Speaker 1: I get it.
- 7:34Speaker 3: But I think we've arrived at the point where you've
- 7:36Speaker 3: got to try and pull some bright spots out of this.
- 7:38Speaker 3: This offense is limited. I think that's a good way
- 7:40Speaker 3: to say. It probably remains limited given the totality of
- 7:44Speaker 3: the group. But Wilkin showed you some stuff. I mean,
- 7:48Speaker 3: Rich's offense has to have a quarterback that can run
- 7:50Speaker 3: the ball. Wilkin showed you that at times running back
- 7:54Speaker 3: no Tie Edwards again. I mean, I know he played,
- 7:55Speaker 3: but it was limited. You could tell he wasn't the
- 7:57Speaker 3: same tie Edwards that hurts you significant. Scotty Fox came
- 8:01Speaker 3: in and threw it extremely well. So quarterback position I
- 8:04Speaker 3: didn't think was bad at all. We've come to expect
- 8:07Speaker 3: that from the offense. It's just struggling and it's going
- 8:09Speaker 3: to struggle this defense. So guys, I thought this was
- 8:12Speaker 3: a pretty good defense. I realized it wasn't the ninety
- 8:15Speaker 3: six defense, but given what it had done early, I
- 8:18Speaker 3: thought you had a chance defensively, and man, it is
- 8:21Speaker 3: the way to I get in some of these numbers
- 8:23Speaker 3: on this The defense just continues to not even remotely
- 8:27Speaker 3: be where they need to be.
- 8:28Speaker 1: My partner in crime, Dwight Wallace, who's watched a lot
- 8:31Speaker 1: of football through the years, thinks a lot of it
- 8:34Speaker 1: is okay. Once other coaches see what you're doing, and
- 8:41Speaker 1: number one, what you're doing, and then who is doing it,
- 8:45Speaker 1: they start to game plan for people that have weaknesses.
- 8:48Speaker 1: And now what you're seeing is guys have been idd weaknesses,
- 8:52Speaker 1: have been idd and now they're being exploited well.
- 8:54Speaker 3: And you've gotten really no pass rush over the last
- 8:56Speaker 3: two games. And it's two guys, with all due respect
- 8:59Speaker 3: to Damon Bachmeier, have been running quarterbacks more than throwing
- 9:03Speaker 3: and they have just torched you through the air. To me,
- 9:05Speaker 3: that's the biggest concern of all the concerns this program
- 9:08Speaker 3: has right now.
- 9:09Speaker 1: It's that.
- 9:10Speaker 3: It's that teams have done things that they don't normally
- 9:13Speaker 3: do to attack you and have done it with great success.
- 9:16Speaker 1: That's a concern moving forward, I read.
- 9:17Speaker 2: I think that's indicative of a well coached and a
- 9:20Speaker 2: pretty good team where even though they want to run
- 9:23Speaker 2: the ball more than just throw it all over the place,
- 9:25Speaker 2: but they see your weakness and they say we're good
- 9:26Speaker 2: enough to exploit that weakness, which is what they did. Yeah.
- 9:30Speaker 1: I did like Fred Perry's play though. Fred Perry, I
- 9:32Speaker 1: mean he brings it. He plays to your point. Obviously,
- 9:36Speaker 1: if a team ever needed an off week, it is
- 9:40Speaker 1: this week right now. And I think that for two
- 9:43Speaker 1: fold reasons. Twofold reason, two fold reasons. For two reasons.
- 9:48Speaker 1: You know, take the fold out one. Physically, they've banged
- 9:54Speaker 1: battered As you said, I mean Khalil Wilkins probably needs
- 9:57Speaker 1: two weeks just to walk straight again. Right, took a
- 10:00Speaker 1: took a beating, and so many other guys did one
- 10:02Speaker 1: so physically and mentally, this is much needed. On the
- 10:07Speaker 1: other side of it, from an x's and O standpoint,
- 10:10Speaker 1: a perfect opportunity for this coaching staff to do a
- 10:15Speaker 1: very detailed analyzation saying to itself, Okay, this is the
- 10:20Speaker 1: first six. Here come the next six. Where are we going?
- 10:25Speaker 1: Where are we building toward? We have now seen literally
- 10:29Speaker 1: all five of the quarterbacks, and you could make the
- 10:33Speaker 1: case that the two best quarterbacks from a visual standpoint
- 10:38Speaker 1: are Khalil Wilkins and Scottie Fox.
- 10:41Speaker 3: The ones are the ones that are left as well,
- 10:46Speaker 3: and I agree with you those those two have done
- 10:48Speaker 3: done the most.
- 10:49Speaker 1: So now as a staff, you're looking at it and go, okay,
- 10:52Speaker 1: if we're gonna what are we going to do here?
- 10:54Speaker 1: Are we going to bop these both of these guys
- 10:56Speaker 1: in there and and do a two man rotation going forward?
- 10:59Speaker 1: See how that probably is a good case. Ty Edwards,
- 11:03Speaker 1: you would think would be healthy at least one hundred percent,
- 11:07Speaker 1: hopefully at one hundred percent. By that time, we did
- 11:10Speaker 1: not see sincere Bowers in the game on Friday night,
- 11:13Speaker 1: can you get him up to speed so that you
- 11:15Speaker 1: can start at least the second half with the two
- 11:17Speaker 1: quarterbacks and the two running backs in addition to Dior
- 11:20Speaker 1: Hubbard and at least say, okay, we've got three running backs, right,
- 11:24Speaker 1: Clay Ash is there as well, so you could have
- 11:26Speaker 1: four your receiver position at this point, I mean, the
- 11:31Speaker 1: only guy that is id'd himself truly is Cam Vaughan.
- 11:35Speaker 1: You can't get the ball enough to him. I mean,
- 11:38Speaker 1: at this point, he's the option and the other guys
- 11:42Speaker 1: justin Smith Brown has given you flashes, right, Grayson Barnes
- 11:46Speaker 1: has become quiet her than he was in the first
- 11:49Speaker 1: couple of games. Can we find a way to get
- 11:50Speaker 1: him back into a regular mix of getting that ball
- 11:53Speaker 1: to him and then on the defensive side. I think
- 11:56Speaker 1: you've got to do basically the same kind of evaluation.
- 11:59Speaker 1: And you know everyone always says, well, these guys that
- 12:02Speaker 1: are on the field, you know aren't doing it well,
- 12:04Speaker 1: put someone else in. Again, the message is that's the
- 12:09Speaker 1: best that there is. That's the best that there is.
- 12:13Speaker 1: If there was anyone that would be better, then they
- 12:16Speaker 1: would put them in. However, some guys are playing themselves
- 12:21Speaker 1: out of the rotation, and if you're not and it
- 12:25Speaker 1: starts to become an equal, then the other people are
- 12:28Speaker 1: going to get their chance. So that's where we are.
- 12:33Speaker 1: It's going to be an interesting next six games. Like you,
- 12:36Speaker 1: I think there are some opportunities for this team to
- 12:39Speaker 1: win again. And now the question is what's this next
- 12:43Speaker 1: six going to be. Well, we look back on the
- 12:45Speaker 1: next six games of year number one with coach Rod
- 12:48Speaker 1: as Hey in the second half of the season, you
- 12:50Speaker 1: know that you could see some signs, you could see
- 12:52Speaker 1: some flickers that they were coming along.
- 12:54Speaker 3: That's what you're hoping, well, because think about what you're asking.
- 12:56Speaker 3: You just said that the two quarterbacks that are performing
- 12:58Speaker 3: the best, and they don't have any game time, right,
- 13:01Speaker 3: I mean that was that was Wilkins's most significant time
- 13:03Speaker 3: in his college career here. So again the expectation that
- 13:06Speaker 3: you'll improve, that's what you're watching on that offensive side
- 13:09Speaker 3: is as guys get healthy, can can Wilkins continue to
- 13:12Speaker 3: show you some progress there if that passing game comes
- 13:15Speaker 3: along just a little bit. And the numbers actually weren't bad.
- 13:18Speaker 3: I know there were some misses there, but when you
- 13:20Speaker 3: talk about expected points added in some successful plays. They
- 13:23Speaker 3: did have some successful pass plays, could have had another one.
- 13:25Speaker 3: The one time you get to Cam Vaughn with nobody
- 13:27Speaker 3: around him, might have been two open.
- 13:29Speaker 1: Yeah, right, it might have been too open.
- 13:30Speaker 3: Couldn't hold onto the football there, That would have been
- 13:32Speaker 3: another touchdown. So how will that progress over the next
- 13:34Speaker 3: few games?
- 13:35Speaker 1: Yeah, when you're having this kind of bad situation. The
- 13:39Speaker 1: Cam Vaughn thing was kind of a microcosm of the
- 13:42Speaker 1: entire game and the entire season to this point. You
- 13:46Speaker 1: drop a dime and it pops up in the air
- 13:47Speaker 1: and they it's like seriously and turns into a pick
- 13:51Speaker 1: exactly exactly.
- 13:52Speaker 2: But you know, but Wilkins' willingness to run like a
- 13:57Speaker 2: tailback or a fullback showed a lot of gud.
- 14:00Speaker 1: He's he's tough, he passes, he passes requirement number one,
- 14:06Speaker 1: and that is you gotta be tough, and he is.
- 14:08Speaker 1: He stuck his face in there, and that's all you
- 14:10Speaker 1: can ask for. And you just hope, you know, on
- 14:11Speaker 1: the learning curve now he can take a ton of
- 14:14Speaker 1: what he's seeing of himself on film as you're going
- 14:17Speaker 1: to the next game.
- 14:18Speaker 2: You just don't have enough. A lot of sports is
- 14:22Speaker 2: about imposing your will, right and you just are you
- 14:26Speaker 2: gonna impose your will? Are they going to impose their will?
- 14:29Speaker 2: And you just don't have enough collectively to impose your
- 14:33Speaker 2: will Brad on other teams?
- 14:34Speaker 3: Well yeah, right, And along with that, there's there's no
- 14:37Speaker 3: identity right now because you can't do what you want
- 14:39Speaker 3: to do right right right, just so you're trying to
- 14:42Speaker 3: come up with things that you can do to outsmart
- 14:45Speaker 3: the defense there because you can't just line up and
- 14:47Speaker 3: do what you want to do, and that that always
- 14:49Speaker 3: makes it tough. I don't care who you are, who's coaching,
- 14:51Speaker 3: what the deal is. If you can't line up and
- 14:52Speaker 3: do what you want to do, you're gonna have You're
- 14:54Speaker 3: gonna have a tough time. And that's where this this
- 14:55Speaker 3: offense is right now in particular.
- 14:58Speaker 1: All right, moving ahead further, we'll get into spreads on
- 15:01Speaker 1: stats coming up here. In a second reminder to you,
- 15:04Speaker 1: as the boating season wins toward its end, still beautiful though.

- 17:14Speaker 1: We've done some stuff, We've been through some places. Let's
- 17:16Speaker 1: do this time for Spreads on Stats. You watched it,
- 17:22Speaker 1: you saw it, you analyzed it. You do you have
- 17:27Speaker 1: not heard yet what the computers have said about West
- 17:31Speaker 1: Virginia and b YU. Speaking of West Virginia b YU,
- 17:37Speaker 1: and we'll talk more about this later. Before the football game,
- 17:40Speaker 1: the b YU volleyball team was here in Morgantown and
- 17:44Speaker 1: what happened with that time? Nationally ranked well, Jen Greeney
- 17:47Speaker 1: lined up and UH nationally ranked BYU went home with
- 17:51Speaker 1: a went home with an l big time win, massive, massively.
- 17:56Speaker 1: What was the first ever.
- 17:57Speaker 3: Coal rush game for the volleyball team.
- 18:00Speaker 1: Crowd all black. Well, we're going to be with Jen
- 18:02Speaker 1: on Tuesday and other WV coaches. We'll talk about that
- 18:05Speaker 1: coming up. Spreads on Stats is brought to us by

- 18:43Speaker 1: ground up there?
- 18:44Speaker 3: This just won't be pleasant. It's just not pleasant. So well,
- 18:50Speaker 3: we'll stumble through as best we can. Let's start, as
- 18:53Speaker 3: we always do, with a review from the preview episode,
- 18:55Speaker 3: and we led guys talking about Bear Brockmeyer and Hopey
- 18:58Speaker 3: you mentioned his unbelievable throwing performance. But we did say
- 19:02Speaker 3: in there, if you looked at the underlying numbers that
- 19:04Speaker 3: a turnover was likely mm hm was likely turnover worthy plays,
- 19:08Speaker 3: and you got two of them. You got the pick
- 19:10Speaker 3: and then you got that great play by Fred Perry
- 19:12Speaker 3: to get the the forced fumble there to set you
- 19:14Speaker 3: up in short, short yardage.
- 19:16Speaker 1: And you've ever seen that, seen that before? For wild
- 19:18Speaker 1: that was a play.
- 19:20Speaker 3: It's like a basketball.
- 19:22Speaker 1: He got a deflection, he looked like he looked like
- 19:25Speaker 1: he was out there like Honor Huff getting his hand
- 19:27Speaker 1: out there in the passing lane.
- 19:28Speaker 2: And you know what that was. That was an athlete,
- 19:31Speaker 2: that was an athletic place what that was.
- 19:33Speaker 3: It's just it's unfortunate that West Virginia is able to
- 19:36Speaker 3: do that, get the two plays turnover wise that you
- 19:39Speaker 3: hoped you could get from Bachmeyer, and the numbers told
- 19:41Speaker 3: you you probably would, and you still can't get the win.
- 19:43Speaker 3: That's if I'm not mistaken in that the second game
- 19:45Speaker 3: now of your of your four losses, where you're plus
- 19:48Speaker 3: two and turnover margin and you still lost, say what
- 19:51Speaker 3: happened in Ohio? You so some of the stuff we
- 19:53Speaker 3: normally say, That just shows how limited you've been. Some
- 19:56Speaker 3: of the stuff we normally say if you do this
- 19:58Speaker 3: and turnovers number one, upsets likely follow, and they just
- 20:02Speaker 3: haven't in two of these road games. Here we also
- 20:04Speaker 3: mentioned how Byu had done a great job of managing
- 20:07Speaker 3: Bachmeyer where they threw a lot underneath and let the
- 20:10Speaker 3: wide receivers do the work. Similar in this game. Similar
- 20:13Speaker 3: in this game, I mean sixty four percent of his
- 20:15Speaker 3: passing yards were yards after catch. He had time to throw,
- 20:19Speaker 3: made some big plays those receivers took off and just
- 20:22Speaker 3: had had all day to run back there. We talked
- 20:24Speaker 3: about his success in the middle of the field, that
- 20:26Speaker 3: you had to contain him down the middle. They liked
- 20:28Speaker 3: to attack there. West Virginia couldn't eleven of fourteen to
- 20:32Speaker 3: the middle of the field for two hundred and eighty
- 20:34Speaker 3: one yards passing. Again, I told you it wouldn't be pleasant.
- 20:38Speaker 3: Just bear with us here. As we mentioned, guys, one
- 20:41Speaker 3: last thing on Blackmeyer. He had six hundred and ninety
- 20:44Speaker 3: eight yards passing through the first four games, went for
- 20:46Speaker 3: three point fifty one in this one, so nearly fifty
- 20:48Speaker 3: percent of what his previous total had been. And like
- 20:51Speaker 3: I said, hop, I think that's the most alarming part
- 20:54Speaker 3: of this is two guys that don't want to throw
- 20:56Speaker 3: it first have thrown it first against you with great,
- 20:58Speaker 3: high level success. So the defense has a lot of
- 21:01Speaker 3: work to do here. Guys, you mentioned the huge explosives
- 21:03Speaker 3: in the first half. That was that was stunning. Finished
- 21:07Speaker 3: the game at eight point three yards per play, So
- 21:09Speaker 3: you're just not going to win many games when you
- 21:11Speaker 3: do that. Sixty seven percent of BYU's plays in the
- 21:14Speaker 3: first half came in West Virginia territory. Ooh again, winning
- 21:18Speaker 3: recipe for BYU not for WVU three of four BYU
- 21:21Speaker 3: touchdown drives in the first half. How about this, guys,
- 21:24Speaker 3: one play, three plays, two plays. They had twenty one
- 21:27Speaker 3: points off six plays. So explosives really told the story
- 21:30Speaker 3: on the BYU side of things. And how do we
- 21:33Speaker 3: say that all the time. If you're a limited offense,
- 21:35Speaker 3: you've got to be the one with the explosives because
- 21:38Speaker 3: it's hard to march down the field. BYU is the opposite.
- 21:41Speaker 3: They hit you with some big plays there. BYU ended
- 21:45Speaker 3: the game with a fifty five percent success rate on
- 21:49Speaker 3: all of their plays overall offensively for the game. That
- 21:51Speaker 3: was up from their forty nine percent on the year,
- 21:53Speaker 3: which was already twenty second nationally. Their first down efficiency
- 21:58Speaker 3: was really good. Guys average nine point seven yards per
- 22:02Speaker 3: first I think that might help. Nine point seven a
- 22:06Speaker 3: huge trunk.
- 22:08Speaker 1: It was, Yeah, there's no doubt it was.
- 22:09Speaker 3: They picked up three hundred and ten total yards on
- 22:12Speaker 3: thirty two first down place. So if you want to
- 22:15Speaker 3: just compare those numbers, West Virginia was four point eight
- 22:18Speaker 3: on first down, which isn't terrible necessarily sets you up
- 22:21Speaker 3: on a second and five for the most part. But
- 22:24Speaker 3: BYU was certainly much more explosive as we've As we've
- 22:26Speaker 3: talked about BYU nine of thirteen passing it for two
- 22:30Speaker 3: twenty on first down, seventeen yards per passing attempt on
- 22:34Speaker 3: first down. West Virginia again not bad, five of nine
- 22:37Speaker 3: for eighty two yards when they threw it on first
- 22:39Speaker 3: down nine point one yards per attempt. Wester Rding's rushing game,
- 22:43Speaker 3: as we mentioned, was bottled up. Khalil Wilkins did a
- 22:46Speaker 3: nice job with overall numbers, but yards per carry he
- 22:49Speaker 3: had a tough time breaking through for any explosives on
- 22:52Speaker 3: third downs. In particular, West Virginia ran it eleven times
- 22:55Speaker 3: for just twenty seven yards two and a half per
- 22:57Speaker 3: carry on third down. Overall rushing success rate West Virginia
- 23:03Speaker 3: is only at thirty two percent. BYU didn't put up
- 23:06Speaker 3: great rushing numbers, didn't need to. They still were more
- 23:09Speaker 3: successful on a play by play basis forty eight percent
- 23:12Speaker 3: success when they ran it. So line of scrimmage controlled
- 23:15Speaker 3: on the BYU side of things seven straight quarters without
- 23:19Speaker 3: forcing a punt guys, and the first BYU punt came
- 23:22Speaker 3: with a minute fifty seven in the fourth quarter. So
- 23:25Speaker 3: West Virginia almost went two complete games without forcing a
- 23:27Speaker 3: punt continues to surprise me.
- 23:30Speaker 1: Hunters continued to boycott West Virginia.
- 23:34Speaker 3: If you I've mentioned the last two quarterbacks a couple
- 23:37Speaker 3: of times now, just to put a rap on that,
- 23:39Speaker 3: some final numbers. Nearly six hundred yards passing between the
- 23:42Speaker 3: two five eighty eight thirty nine of fifty one combined
- 23:46Speaker 3: for seventy six completion for say that again.
- 23:49Speaker 1: What the two.
- 23:50Speaker 3: Opposing code quarterbacks the last two weeks, Dan Pierre and
- 23:52Speaker 3: Bachmeyer thirty nine to fifty one combined seventy six percent
- 23:56Speaker 3: completion percentage. It's pushed West Virginia now to the worst
- 23:59Speaker 3: defensive grade in the Big Twelve. So again, say it
- 24:03Speaker 3: a lot. Sometimes you don't need the numbers to back
- 24:05Speaker 3: up what you saw, but those are pretty alarming numbers.
- 24:08Speaker 3: Here's another one that just if you would have told
- 24:10Speaker 3: me this before the game, I would have said, West
- 24:11Speaker 3: Virginia's in a position here to pull the upset BYU.
- 24:15Speaker 3: Came into this game seventh nationally in field position. They
- 24:18Speaker 3: were plus eight on the season. West Virginia finishes this
- 24:21Speaker 3: game plus ten. That's the number you want.
- 24:24Speaker 1: You win it.
- 24:24Speaker 3: Ninety some percent of the time when you hit that number,
- 24:27Speaker 3: so Westernia got the turnovers, which led to those short fields,
- 24:30Speaker 3: which led to some points for West Virginia, But you
- 24:32Speaker 3: just didn't do anything outside of.
- 24:34Speaker 1: That average starting point for West Virginia was it's thirty
- 24:38Speaker 1: nine in the BYU was its twenty nine nine. He said.
- 24:42Speaker 1: So earlier this season we had the other aberration on
- 24:46Speaker 1: that right. We won a game.
- 24:47Speaker 3: We were minus fourteen field position and you beat pitt
- 24:49Speaker 3: So it's probably one of those. You would say, the
- 24:51Speaker 3: numbers oftentimes even out you become what you are. So
- 24:54Speaker 3: you're one and one in that category. But the turnovers
- 24:57Speaker 3: plus the field position advantage while on the road, if
- 25:00Speaker 3: you had given me those ahead of time, I would
- 25:02Speaker 3: have said you were going to be in the mix
- 25:03Speaker 3: for this game, and certainly you were not. The number
- 25:08Speaker 3: that continues to jump back to back weeks is this
- 25:11Speaker 3: available yards. Utah put up at just a silly eighty
- 25:14Speaker 3: six percent of the available yards they gained BYU another
- 25:19Speaker 3: massive number, sixty seven percent of the available yards BYU
- 25:23Speaker 3: got them second highest market of the season, and just
- 25:26Speaker 3: like last week, it's one of the highest of the
- 25:27Speaker 3: last last few years. So defense just continues to struggle
- 25:31Speaker 3: Over the last couple of weeks west Fordain's rushing game. Again,
- 25:36Speaker 3: even though I thought there were some positives and you
- 25:38Speaker 3: were able to do some things, in particular with Khalil Wilkins,
- 25:41Speaker 3: you still ended with a negative EPR per rush for
- 25:46Speaker 3: the game. And that's just guys in riches offense, you
- 25:49Speaker 3: just can't have that. There's going to be a negative
- 25:52Speaker 3: expected points added on rushing rushing attempts. That's just not positive.
- 25:57Speaker 3: But you were positive EPA per Dry. Now, Scotty Fox's
- 26:01Speaker 3: numbers helped this sum. He came in and threw it
- 26:04Speaker 3: extremely well, including that great touchdown pass. But Wilkins had
- 26:07Speaker 3: a positive EPA on pass plays as well.
- 26:10Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying.
- 26:11Speaker 3: The results maybe didn't look like it, but there were
- 26:13Speaker 3: some positives in the pass game. Can that continue to
- 26:16Speaker 3: get better? And again, the definition of EPA is the
- 26:19Speaker 3: difference between the expected points a team will score before
- 26:24Speaker 3: and after the play, and it considers factors like what
- 26:27Speaker 3: down it is, what the distance is, the field position,
- 26:29Speaker 3: and time remaining. So maybe a little positive to take
- 26:32Speaker 3: out of that from the passing game side, maybe that
- 26:35Speaker 3: comes along a little bit better. And those are the
- 26:38Speaker 3: bulk of the numbers from the BYU game.
- 26:42Speaker 1: You're not giving any individual grades simply because nothing there.
- 26:48Speaker 3: I mean, we can talk about a couple, but I
- 26:51Speaker 3: can give you the highest ranked defensive grades, but I
- 26:53Speaker 3: don't know that it matters much given what we just said.
- 26:56Speaker 3: We can talk about offensive grades. This one surprised me
- 26:59Speaker 3: a little bit. Good to see this. Tyke's Crawford was
- 27:01Speaker 3: one of your highest graded offensive foot performers over at
- 27:04Speaker 3: the right tackle. So we keep continuing to say it
- 27:07Speaker 3: was Agbo in the right tackle position last week, it
- 27:09Speaker 3: was Crawford this week. Is there just little baby steps
- 27:12Speaker 3: there on that offensive line where individual guys are performing
- 27:16Speaker 3: a little bit better, That's the hope moving forward. Scotti
- 27:19Speaker 3: Fox came in and it didn't have a ton of snaps,
- 27:21Speaker 3: but graded out extremely well in his short time in
- 27:23Speaker 3: the game.
- 27:25Speaker 1: If you looked at the final numbers and you said
- 27:27Speaker 1: you have to give me some positives, you have to
- 27:30Speaker 1: give me some positives. I would think one thing that
- 27:32Speaker 1: was an issue earlier was penalties, and they go on
- 27:36Speaker 1: the road where you could get jumpy right, just three
- 27:39Speaker 1: penalties and you didn't fumble it, but you did throw
- 27:43Speaker 1: two interceptions. You did win. As Brad said, the turnover battle,
- 27:47Speaker 1: and normally when you do do that, you normally come
- 27:51Speaker 1: out on the more positive side.
- 27:52Speaker 3: And that's why let me stop you right there for
- 27:54Speaker 3: just a second, because I will get the defense credit
- 27:57Speaker 3: on that. You're fourteenth nationally in takeaways, so from that perspective,
- 28:01Speaker 3: that little niche part of the defense, that's one of
- 28:03Speaker 3: the areas of expectation this year that it was going
- 28:06Speaker 3: to get better in that and they've done that. So
- 28:08Speaker 3: they have taken the ball away. You've just given up
- 28:10Speaker 3: too many on the offensive side. You're one twenty fifth
- 28:13Speaker 3: in the nation in turnovers loss, so you haven't protected
- 28:16Speaker 3: it as well as you need to. But defensively, you
- 28:19Speaker 3: have been getting the ball back.
- 28:20Speaker 1: For the offense. You finished up with one hundred and
- 28:22Speaker 1: fifty six run yards. That's three point three yards per carry,
- 28:27Speaker 1: which obviously isn't the number that you need, but you
- 28:29Speaker 1: did get up to eighteen first downs and that number
- 28:32Speaker 1: that you're trying to get to is twenty five first downs.
- 28:36Speaker 1: They being b why you got twenty two first downs?
- 28:39Speaker 1: And again this is the this is the absolute minutia
- 28:43Speaker 1: of these numbers. Red zone scoring B Why you got
- 28:45Speaker 1: in there seven times? Went five to seven West Virginia
- 28:48Speaker 1: only got into the red zone three times and they
- 28:51Speaker 1: went two out of three in the red zone.
- 28:55Speaker 2: Here would be a good stat Brad, and that is
- 28:57Speaker 2: points off turnovers teen to seven. I mean for the season. Yeah,
- 29:03Speaker 2: because you're on the plus Well, I don't if you're
- 29:05Speaker 2: in a plus out, but you're you're making turnovers as
- 29:07Speaker 2: you said. But I'm just going.
- 29:09Speaker 3: By that zero against Ohio. You So that was the
- 29:12Speaker 3: other one that stood out, right, you have three picks
- 29:14Speaker 3: and couldn't you couldn't get it in the end zone.
- 29:17Speaker 2: So that gets back to your offensive struggles as you
- 29:19Speaker 2: get a turnover and you can't capitalize.
- 29:20Speaker 1: Right.
- 29:22Speaker 3: Yeah, in West Virginia, if you if you want to
- 29:24Speaker 3: look at I've been focusing on the West virgea's defensive
- 29:27Speaker 3: performance and available yards just got forty six percent of
- 29:30Speaker 3: the available yards there. So BYU, even though it was
- 29:33Speaker 3: faced with short fields more often than not, still did
- 29:35Speaker 3: a better job of slowing down this West Virginia offense.

- 32:31Speaker 2: Okay, so are you going to text the guy at Utah?
- 32:33Speaker 1: And yeah I should. Hey, buddy, I just flew from
- 32:36Speaker 1: Salt Lake to Clarksburg in three hours and fifteen minutes?
- 32:39Speaker 1: He said, four hours? What was he doing? Which way
- 32:42Speaker 1: did his pilot go? Yeah, we had some delays.
- 32:45Speaker 2: Oh, oh you had delays?

- 32:49Speaker 1: on the way back. Oh man, that's we'll just leave
- 32:51Speaker 1: it at that. We were on the plane for six hours,
- 32:54Speaker 1: and we flew for three fifteen.
- 32:55Speaker 2: Oh no, but anyway, sitting on that oh, after all
- 33:00Speaker 2: loss and sitting on the plane for two hours not ideal.

- 33:57Speaker 3: They had him on the ropes, couldn't punch it in
- 33:59Speaker 3: from inside the five there, hop that would have tied
- 34:02Speaker 3: it or given him a chance to go for two
- 34:03Speaker 3: to win it late. And they did that with their
- 34:05Speaker 3: backup quarterback, Cam Fancher, formerly a Marshall right in. Their
- 34:08Speaker 3: starter got hurt. You see, it's got some speed. We'll
- 34:10Speaker 3: talk about that next week. Their speed scarcy in space
- 34:13Speaker 3: a little.

- 38:04Speaker 1: and it's all for the United Way. If you remember,
- 38:10Speaker 1: we bought a pig last weekend at the Preston County
- 38:14Speaker 1: Livestock Auction as part of the Buckwheat Festival and a
- 38:18Speaker 1: thousand bucks and that was paid. And now we're going
- 38:22Speaker 1: to We've added the live auction of the pork from
- 38:26Speaker 1: the pig. We're gonna live auction it to someone in
- 38:29Speaker 1: the crowd on Tuesday night. And did you see the
- 38:33Speaker 1: list of what you get? There's a ton. You get
- 38:35Speaker 1: a ton out of that pig.
- 38:37Speaker 2: Really, that's because with a pig, you use everything but
- 38:41Speaker 2: the oinc I mean, seriously, that's why pigs are so
- 38:48Speaker 2: common in the world because you can use it all.
- 38:53Speaker 2: What does that mean? It means you use everything? It
- 38:55Speaker 2: means like you can you can have the you know,
- 38:58Speaker 2: the leanest part the full and you can also eat
- 39:01Speaker 2: pickled pigs feet. That is true, and you can take
- 39:04Speaker 2: what's left and make sausage.
- 39:06Speaker 1: Yeah, I was astounding. I would like to try to
- 39:10Speaker 1: find that.
- 39:10Speaker 3: One, like thirty eight pounds of sausage.
- 39:12Speaker 1: Was Yeah, that was to be Yeah, can you find
- 39:15Speaker 1: where was that? Was that a text or was at
- 39:16Speaker 1: an email? I don't remember from the which.
- 39:19Speaker 3: By the way, thank you everybody that's ordered tickets to
- 39:21Speaker 3: that that was. We appreciate that.
- 39:23Speaker 1: Note. It's a lot of listeners that did that, so
- 39:24Speaker 1: thank you. A Texter says. Since the Utah game, I've
- 39:27Speaker 1: heard comments about fans not going to games due to
- 39:29Speaker 1: the poor product on the field. I was at Utah.
- 39:31Speaker 1: It wasn't easy to watch to them get dominated that set.
- 39:34Speaker 1: I think we as fans have to remember every little
- 39:36Speaker 1: thing about a program will have an impact on the
- 39:38Speaker 1: future fan attendant's game atmosphere. Just a few that fans
- 39:42Speaker 1: can have an impact on the program's image. No secret,
- 39:45Speaker 1: West Virginia doesn't make the top of the list for
- 39:46Speaker 1: a number of categories that are mentioned in realignment conversation,
- 39:50Speaker 1: but our fan based game atmosphere list is one of
- 39:51Speaker 1: our top qualities if we as fans want West Virginia
- 39:55Speaker 1: to have the best chance at making the cut at
- 39:57Speaker 1: the end of this thing, we have to do our
- 39:58Speaker 1: partner making sure that the product in the stands on
- 40:01Speaker 1: game day stays strong regardless of the current product on
- 40:04Speaker 1: the field. Thanks for all you do. Signed by d
- 40:06Speaker 1: from North Carolina.
- 40:08Speaker 2: Tony two points about that that you'll still end up
- 40:10Speaker 2: even on a bad day and a bad season, you'll
- 40:12Speaker 2: still end up with close to forty. And those that's
- 40:16Speaker 2: those folks can those they make a difference that forty
- 40:19Speaker 2: can be allowed.
- 40:20Speaker 1: Number one.
- 40:20Speaker 2: Number two is Brad. You know this from marketing days.
- 40:23Speaker 2: It's roli man. I mean people are busy. It's expensive
- 40:28Speaker 2: to take the family to a game and park and
- 40:31Speaker 2: eat and all those things, and people look at return
- 40:34Speaker 2: on investment.
- 40:35Speaker 1: Texter says during Brad's rant about the time slot for
- 40:39Speaker 1: the BYU game, I could not help but recall what
- 40:41Speaker 1: Scott Van Peltz said after the Arizona State Bowl game
- 40:45Speaker 1: where we didn't start playing until around eleven PM Eastern.
- 40:50Speaker 1: Let me fully finish this by saying, I agree with Brad.
- 40:52Speaker 1: Move the games to the weekend to avoid this late
- 40:55Speaker 1: start for the East Coast teams. This is what Scott
- 40:57Speaker 1: Van Pelt said. If there's any fan base in America
- 40:59Speaker 1: that stay up until after the sun rises to watch
- 41:02Speaker 1: its team, it's the fine folks of West by God Virginia.
- 41:07Speaker 1: It's several of those. This weekend we had some this
- 41:11Speaker 1: this one really stood out to me this weekend that
- 41:13Speaker 1: we had to do what we had to do. Washington
- 41:16Speaker 1: flew across the country to play at Rutgers, Penn State
- 41:20Speaker 1: goes all the way over to play Ucla. I just
- 41:22Speaker 1: said to myself, like, I'm wondering if these conference commissioners
- 41:25Speaker 1: and these TV networks are getting this great joy out
- 41:30Speaker 1: of this concoction that they have created based upon what
- 41:34Speaker 1: they wanted in their full inventory, It's just mindless. It's
- 41:38Speaker 1: irrational this or at least.
- 41:40Speaker 3: During the day, I mean Penn State fans because watch
- 41:42Speaker 3: or listen to their team play during the day. Duke
- 41:44Speaker 3: was in a similar situation to West Virginia that game
- 41:46Speaker 3: ended at two thirty or so am Eastern time. That
- 41:50Speaker 3: those are the ones that provide a hardship and listen.
- 41:52Speaker 3: I know there has to be Friday's timeslots. I just
- 41:55Speaker 3: think if you're going to do that, try and put
- 41:56Speaker 3: the time zones compatible so it comes earlier. And I
- 41:59Speaker 3: know there's WNABA game on ESPN.
- 42:01Speaker 1: I get it.
- 42:01Speaker 3: I understand it. That's just that's that's tough. Two thirty
- 42:04Speaker 3: was was late there when that game end, not as
- 42:06Speaker 3: late as you getting back thirty six hours.
- 42:08Speaker 1: Later or whatever it was. But I was with you.
- 42:10Speaker 1: Hop I made it.
- 42:11Speaker 3: I was grinding at the end. I had my own grind.
- 42:14Speaker 3: The team was grinding. I had my own grind getting
- 42:16Speaker 3: the two.
- 42:16Speaker 1: Thirty Were you drinking game day grind? Is that how
- 42:18Speaker 1: you were?
- 42:19Speaker 3: I had some later in the day than what I
- 42:20Speaker 3: would normally do. Yes, I was probably caffeineated. I took
- 42:24Speaker 3: like wind aided and Olympic records. I probably was caffeine aided,
- 42:27Speaker 3: no question.
- 42:28Speaker 2: I took the rear seven pm nap, Yeah I did.
- 42:32Speaker 1: I went preh I went cappuccino and then and then
- 42:38Speaker 1: I went another cappuccino with an extra shot. And that
- 42:41Speaker 1: was in the morning, and then at lunch, so three
- 42:42Speaker 1: hours later. I had four cups of coffee at lunch.
- 42:45Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 42:45Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
- 42:46Speaker 3: Because if you had stopped on that mid morning, I
- 42:49Speaker 3: don't think that you would have had a crash.
- 42:50Speaker 2: You.
- 42:51Speaker 1: Here's why I had four because it was this. It
- 42:53Speaker 1: was this place called the Park Cafe, which was like
- 42:56Speaker 1: this great recommended Utah play by play guy Bill Riley said,
- 42:59Speaker 1: go to there. My buddy owns this place. Go here.
- 43:01Speaker 1: It was one of those places, you know, when you
- 43:03Speaker 1: go sit down at these cafe breakfast places that serve
- 43:05Speaker 1: breakfast all day. Then they give you this mug and
- 43:08Speaker 1: it's a special mug. It's a mug that's a heavy ceramic,
- 43:11Speaker 1: and they white probably white white, and it's just like,
- 43:13Speaker 1: for some reason, it just it's different. It has to
- 43:17Speaker 1: be filled with coffee all the time, and it drinks
- 43:21Speaker 1: a lot easier than just regular coffee. So you just
- 43:23Speaker 1: like go like this. And then all of a sudden,
- 43:24Speaker 1: I go, hell, that was for those things, and I go,
- 43:27Speaker 1: I'm good, that's fine, that's fine other than doing this
- 43:30Speaker 1: the whole night there just you went straight straight straight coffee.
- 43:34Speaker 2: Yeah you I listened to you the whole game, and
- 43:37Speaker 2: yeah you're you're despite the game and despite the hour,
- 43:41Speaker 2: your enthusiasm never waned.
- 43:44Speaker 1: Well, that was overwhelmed by the atmosphere, which we'll talk about. Okay,
- 43:47Speaker 1: three guys, this is more historic copy. You'll like this one.
- 43:50Speaker 1: The Great West Virginia dysporia began in nineteen fifty, the
- 43:54Speaker 1: year that I was born. I'm a Kimball kid went
- 43:56Speaker 1: to Welch High School, so my comments on always a
- 43:59Speaker 1: West virgin and the connection are limited to the southern
- 44:02Speaker 1: coal fields. Our friends left by the hundreds as the
- 44:04Speaker 1: coal industry for steelmaking coal contracted. They went to Cleveland
- 44:08Speaker 1: and Detroit. They went to Charlotte and Birmingham. Some went
- 44:12Speaker 1: to Phoenix to mine uranium. My father's supervisor went to
- 44:15Speaker 1: Jamaica to mine baux site for aluminum production. Three hundred
- 44:20Speaker 1: thousand West Virginians left three generations later. This may represent
- 44:25Speaker 1: one and a half to two and a half million
- 44:27Speaker 1: sons and daughters of West Virginia now living in these
- 44:30Speaker 1: and similar cities. Statistically, it should not be surprising to
- 44:33Speaker 1: see a flying WUV as we travel through airports or
- 44:36Speaker 1: other places that people gather. Kimball was decimated when Pocahonta's
- 44:40Speaker 1: Fuel Company closed the Vivian Mine, and the Norfolk Southern
- 44:44Speaker 1: Railway Railway closed their shops and relocated our friends to
- 44:48Speaker 1: Roanoke and Jacksonville. However, in the fullness of time. It
- 44:51Speaker 1: is a source of pride and warmth to hear. Let's
- 44:54Speaker 1: go and know their tap route. Yeah, that was extremely well.
- 44:58Speaker 1: It spreads on stats there, very good. Yeah.
- 45:00Speaker 2: West Virginia's population peaked around nineteen fifty eight over two million,
- 45:04Speaker 2: maybe two point one million, and since then it's been
- 45:07Speaker 2: a steady decline. We're now below one point eight million.
- 45:09Speaker 2: But he's exactly right. People left the state. People don't
- 45:12Speaker 2: know about the Hillbilia Highway. But that's a good documentation
- 45:14Speaker 2: of people going a variety of places. And West Virginias
- 45:18Speaker 2: don't forget their roots. Don't forget the roots. So you
- 45:22Speaker 2: have West Virginia fans everywhere. We're not BYU, but we
- 45:26Speaker 2: but we got a lot of fans in a lot
- 45:27Speaker 2: of different places.
- 45:28Speaker 1: You know, who's happening and hopping and getting people in
- 45:31Speaker 1: the state. Tourism. Oh yeah, So I hosted their tour,
- 45:35Speaker 1: the final event of their tourism conference over here at
- 45:38Speaker 1: the motel last week. Oh you did. I did. And
- 45:43Speaker 1: they had initially called for you. I said you weren't available,
- 45:46Speaker 1: and I took a call and so it was so
- 45:50Speaker 1: all of the CVBS were there and all that. It
- 45:52Speaker 1: was really good. I mean, you talk about tourism that's
- 45:55Speaker 1: cranking in West Virginia right now, you know what too.
- 45:57Speaker 2: And props to Governor Morrissey and also Chelsea Ruby, tourism director,
- 46:05Speaker 2: because the federal government's closed, right, but they said the
- 46:10Speaker 2: state will pay to keep the two national parks open
- 46:15Speaker 2: at New River Gorge and at Harper's Ferry because it's
- 46:19Speaker 2: such a peak travel and tourism season. Sure it's a
- 46:22Speaker 2: good call on their part.
- 46:23Speaker 1: To do that. Yeah, hey, guys, longtime, first time I'm
- 46:26Speaker 1: out in Salt Lake City ready to root on the mountaineers.
- 46:29Speaker 1: I wanted to reach out. Thank you. My dad and
- 46:31Speaker 1: I are both the lums. Listened to all your shows,
- 46:33Speaker 1: spent the week talking about your pod and mountaineer sports.
- 46:35Speaker 1: He passed away mid September, shortly after attending his very
- 46:40Speaker 1: first backyard brawl since two thousand and seven. Talk about
- 46:43Speaker 1: an epic high note. We rewatched the game many times.
- 46:46Speaker 1: You who have three U three have been a part
- 46:48Speaker 1: of a zealous and bonding fandom. So I thank you. PS.
- 46:52Speaker 1: I work for the Utah Department of Natural Resources, and
- 46:56Speaker 1: I can confirm that all boats on the Great Salt
- 46:59Speaker 1: Lake are lou Wendell pontoons, and yes, you can navigate
- 47:04Speaker 1: your pontuon from the Great Salt Lake to Utah Lake
- 47:07Speaker 1: by provo via the Jordan River. You didn't know that.
- 47:12Speaker 1: I did not know that. Well, those the water there pops.
- 47:15Speaker 1: When you're driving from Salt Lake to prov Lake off
- 47:17Speaker 1: on it, it's a wow. What it means beautiful? Yeah,
- 47:21Speaker 1: it's beautiful.
- 47:22Speaker 2: You go to Salt that we didn't have time. I
- 47:24Speaker 2: know you walked around the campus, but you didn't. Have
- 47:26Speaker 2: you seen Salt Lake? Have you seen the lake?
- 47:28Speaker 1: Never been to the lake the lake proper? I have not,
- 47:31Speaker 1: No Texter Hay, three guys. The waiting is the hardest part.
- 47:36Speaker 1: Every day you see one more card, you take it
- 47:40Speaker 1: on faith, you take it to the heart. The waiting
- 47:44Speaker 1: is the hardest part. It could be a song there.
- 47:50Speaker 1: How about this picture, please, you'll we'll talk about this.
- 47:55Speaker 1: Had a lot of ice cream in the stands at
- 47:58Speaker 1: b YU. There one of them. They're gonna be multiple
- 48:02Speaker 1: of these. During textual healing at the end of the
- 48:05Speaker 1: third quarter BYU, people served ice cream to mountaineer fans.
- 48:12Speaker 1: Really yeah, and there's just someone showing the cup of
- 48:15Speaker 1: ice cream that they were delivered.
- 48:18Speaker 2: Well, there's like the nice on steroids there.
- 48:21Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Josh from Burlington, that's Mineral County outside of
- 48:27Speaker 1: Kaiser loved Tony's Mountaineer mash call second quarter PS. I
- 48:32Speaker 1: would buy an infant outfit for our baby, which is
- 48:35Speaker 1: expected May twenty one, which would be my wife and
- 48:37Speaker 1: i's first. If the infant section is available, probably need
- 48:40Speaker 1: to get that. On three guys get a onesie? Can
- 48:42Speaker 1: we get that?
- 48:43Speaker 2: Can we? I'd probably sell a lot of them.
- 48:45Speaker 1: Dave Let homeless new Texter Stephen from eleanor a historically
- 48:51Speaker 1: bad three game stretch by the Mountaineer defense. It reminds
- 48:54Speaker 1: me of the phil elmationon led defense in two thousand
- 48:57Speaker 1: and one.
- 48:59Speaker 2: Phil Elmation diference on your Bingo card.
- 49:01Speaker 1: That was Rich's first year. Phil omation was the DC Texter.
- 49:06Speaker 1: I'm practicing some patients when it comes to Khalil Wilkins
- 49:09Speaker 1: throws a perfect ball to Cam Vaughan and its intercepted.
- 49:12Speaker 1: I suppose even a star player do a mishap every
- 49:14Speaker 1: once in a while. With that being said, this team
- 49:16Speaker 1: has played much better than last week, which says we
- 49:19Speaker 1: will be a better team than last week this week
- 49:21Speaker 1: We will be a better team next year than this year.
- 49:24Speaker 1: Is so on it isn't comment on us as Mountainer nation.
- 49:27Speaker 1: To be patient, it will come. Three guys doctor ed.
- 49:32Speaker 1: Here we beat the spread. Defense needs to learn how
- 49:35Speaker 1: to beat the counterplay. Too. Many runners getting past their
- 49:38Speaker 1: linebackers because they're headed the wrong counter direction. But overall
- 49:41Speaker 1: I like their effort. Now do something completely different. Here
- 49:46Speaker 1: we go. BYU fans and game administrators are just top notch.
- 49:50Speaker 1: Many complete strangers. See my flying WV Gulf shirt. Out
- 49:53Speaker 1: of the blue sincerely thanked me for being there and
- 49:55Speaker 1: wished us well.
- 49:56Speaker 2: My goodness.
- 49:57Speaker 1: The BYU band playing Hail West Virginia nearly brought a
- 50:00Speaker 1: tear to my eye to know they really wanted us
- 50:02Speaker 1: to be there and experience their hospitality. WVU fans need
- 50:06Speaker 1: to take a note, and some need to alter their
- 50:08Speaker 1: behavior towards opposing fans. Truly welcome them to MYLN pushcar.
- 50:12Speaker 1: You'll feel a lot better doing that in place of
- 50:14Speaker 1: chanting some rhyming vulgarity. Above is a picture of one
- 50:18Speaker 1: of the ice cream delivery folks. Do you recognize him?
- 50:24Speaker 1: That's our guy, Yeah, President Benson. There, he and the
- 50:28Speaker 1: Texter Ads Jeff Hosteler was also out there handing out
- 50:31Speaker 1: ice cream between the third and fourth.
- 50:32Speaker 2: Quarter home turf there for the President.
- 50:35Speaker 1: Yeah he was really wild.
- 50:36Speaker 3: So just everybody in the visiting team section gets ice cream.
- 50:39Speaker 1: Yeah, just bring it up there. And let me tell
- 50:41Speaker 1: you something. Take a look at the size of those containers. Like,
- 50:42Speaker 1: that's not like a two scooper, that's a serving of
- 50:46Speaker 1: ice cream. So thanks to the ice cream folks, and
- 50:51Speaker 1: thanks to the ice cream folks deliveries.
- 50:52Speaker 2: It's President Benson. Is he everywhere? He might be here today?
- 50:55Speaker 1: It makes me tired. He makes he makes me tired,
- 50:59Speaker 1: Like every time I look like where how he what?
- 51:01Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 51:02Speaker 1: Yeah he's getting after it. Ford Hill, Phil Rights high
- 51:05Speaker 1: three guys, not happy but not desponding after this one.
- 51:08Speaker 1: I'm tired, but not sick and tired. The rest of
- 51:12Speaker 1: the season is going to be a lab but at
- 51:14Speaker 1: least it won't be boring. Will be especially curious to
- 51:16Speaker 1: see what the final combination will be when Texas Tech
- 51:19Speaker 1: rolls into end the season. We sail fourth Ford Hill, Phil, Hey,
- 51:25Speaker 1: three guys. First of all, as someone who has been
- 51:28Speaker 1: to dozens of away West Virginia games, game day production
- 51:32Speaker 1: at BYU was as good as anywhere. Combine that with
- 51:36Speaker 1: the kind, almost sappy, welcome to provo BYU attitude, it
- 51:41Speaker 1: all made for a surreal cultural experience we will certainly
- 51:45Speaker 1: return someday on a sad note, not to usurp Hoppy's
- 51:49Speaker 1: obvious observations, but as someone who just retired from coaching
- 51:53Speaker 1: a shotgun based offense for nearly thirty years, I cannot
- 51:57Speaker 1: imagine any scenario where my team needs less than a
- 52:00Speaker 1: foot and I don't go under center for the Mountaineer
- 52:03Speaker 1: mash and honestly I was disappointed no one in postgame
- 52:06Speaker 1: press corps pressed rich on why you didn't go under center.
- 52:10Speaker 1: There me thinks Dana and Neil Brown would have been
- 52:13Speaker 1: directly questioned after that result signed by Steve in Tennessee, hasn't.
- 52:18Speaker 2: Dwight Tony mentioned that that's one of the weaknesses of
- 52:21Speaker 2: a you know, spread hray up offense is when it
- 52:24Speaker 2: gets down inside the five, you're more limited there as
- 52:29Speaker 2: he said that.
- 52:30Speaker 1: Yeah he has. But with this Mountaineer Mash nine offensive
- 52:36Speaker 1: lineman formation, you certainly could have done that didn't do it.
- 52:40Speaker 3: I don't know if on that one it mattered if
- 52:42Speaker 3: you were under center. I get what Steve's saying. There
- 52:44Speaker 3: certainly a lot of people share that same sentiment. I
- 52:47Speaker 3: don't know that it would have mattered. I mean, you
- 52:48Speaker 3: just got blown backward ya did I don't care. I
- 52:50Speaker 3: don't know it matter if you're under center, shotgun.
- 52:52Speaker 2: Or we saw that play Brad where a couple offensive
- 52:56Speaker 2: linemen for West Virginia ended up in the backfield. Yeah,
- 52:59Speaker 2: got blowed up.
- 53:00Speaker 1: Yeap. Obviously that incenses Rich.
- 53:05Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, he might have mentioned that in the
- 53:09Speaker 2: post game. He might have mentioned that about not being
- 53:11Speaker 2: able to get a foot.
- 53:12Speaker 3: Yeah, because guys, as much as tempo is a part
- 53:15Speaker 3: of this, Rich has always been a guy and a
- 53:18Speaker 3: coach that thrives on power. This isn't the old West
- 53:22Speaker 3: Coast offense where you try and spread it out and
- 53:23Speaker 3: there's not physicality. This system thrives on physicality, and it's
- 53:28Speaker 3: just not there right now.
- 53:29Speaker 1: Three guys before the game is brought to us by
- 53:30Speaker 1: Comac's Business Systems. They have every kind of office equipment
- 53:35Speaker 1: in the world. You hear what I said in the world.
- 53:39Speaker 2: I heard you say that.
- 53:39Speaker 1: I mean you need a copier that does it in Mandarin? Yeah,
- 53:42Speaker 1: they got it. You know what else they have. Yeah,
- 53:44Speaker 1: probably check it. They also have those unbelievable business system
- 53:49Speaker 1: water coolers. Their new I twelve design meets cutting edge
- 53:53Speaker 1: technology hot water, cold water, ice storage as well. Stop
- 53:58Speaker 1: being so old school with those plastic jugga lugs and
- 54:02Speaker 1: those plastic bottles. Whether you do the sixteen twelve ounce
- 54:05Speaker 1: bottles for your people that work there, or you do
- 54:07Speaker 1: those big five gallon jugs, get yourself a water machine.
- 54:10Speaker 1: It's filtered water, it's clean, it's cool, it's hot, it's cold,
- 54:13Speaker 1: it's whatever they need. Visit them at COMASWV dot com
- 54:17Speaker 1: COOMAXWV dot com.
- 54:18Speaker 2: You probably despite all your coffee, which I think dehydrates you.
- 54:24Speaker 2: I would hope that you hydrated given the altitude.
- 54:27Speaker 1: Oh they had drinks there, water. Oh, they had drinks there,
- 54:32Speaker 1: sugar drinks, sugar cooke everything. They had the full Monty there.
- 54:35Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and I pounded water, did you Yeah? I
- 54:40Speaker 1: mean it was over the top. I mean if my
- 54:43Speaker 1: bottle of water got down past half seven, people in
- 54:47Speaker 1: there gave me thirteen bottles of water.
- 54:49Speaker 2: So tony, and you really haven't fully flushed out your
- 54:51Speaker 2: experience coming here. Okay, go ahead, yeah, okay, so we go.
- 54:55Speaker 1: Right, This gentleman says long text, Guys, I made a
- 55:00Speaker 1: trip to Byu with my wife and the in laws,
- 55:02Speaker 1: and boy, I must say I may have found a
- 55:05Speaker 1: nicer fan base than West Virginia's. We could not walk
- 55:08Speaker 1: ten feet without someone stopping and talking to us, welcoming
- 55:12Speaker 1: us to Provo. Believe it or not, all of their
- 55:14Speaker 1: West Virginia connections, with a bunch of them having lived
- 55:17Speaker 1: in Morgantown or visited for various reasons, every single one
- 55:21Speaker 1: were kind and courteous, fantastic experience with the people. At
- 55:25Speaker 1: one point, one of the fans walked up to a
- 55:27Speaker 1: group of four while we were sitting in our seats
- 55:30Speaker 1: toward the end of the first quarter, and they had
- 55:31Speaker 1: brought us each an ice cream, continuing theme. Definitely a
- 55:37Speaker 1: place I would go to attend a game again. Oh
- 55:39Speaker 1: and by the way, Tony, did you happen to grab
- 55:42Speaker 1: one of those ten foot cougar tails that they were
- 55:44Speaker 1: selling at the concession stand? There was a four year
- 55:48Speaker 1: old girl sitting in front of us, and the cougartail
- 55:51Speaker 1: maple bar was bigger than her. She took the tutor's
- 55:54Speaker 1: challenge and downed two of them in the first half,
- 55:58Speaker 1: which is unconscionable. It's unconscionable that she did that. So
- 56:03Speaker 1: these are eighteen inch donuts, like think of like an
- 56:06Speaker 1: e clear on steir. No, that's the ice cream. But anyway,
- 56:08Speaker 1: so anyway, there's more of the ice cream. As disappointing,
- 56:13Speaker 1: the guy says, which is surely would induce the sugar
- 56:15Speaker 1: rush of her bouncing back and forth in her seating
- 56:17Speaker 1: on stuff. Anyway, as disappointed in the game was I
- 56:19Speaker 1: believe I saw bright spots, felt that Wilkins was on
- 56:22Speaker 1: the verge of breaking along Pat White esque. Run Take
- 56:25Speaker 1: these next five weeks, heal up next week, let's steal
- 56:28Speaker 1: some wins, improve in time for a final two tests
- 56:30Speaker 1: at the end of the season. We might just walk
- 56:32Speaker 1: away with one of the suit Now you go ahead, there, guys,
- 56:34Speaker 1: show that ice cream. So there is more of that
- 56:36Speaker 1: ice now again, that's a good that's a good serving
- 56:38Speaker 1: of ice cream. Yeah it is, Texter. We've been to
- 56:43Speaker 1: quite a few away or Bowl games, but the trip
- 56:46Speaker 1: to Provo topped them all. Wonderful hospitality, awesome but very
- 56:50Speaker 1: challenging hiking, and an inspiring game atmosphere despite the distance.
- 56:54Speaker 1: We are very fortunate to have BYU in the Big twelve,
- 56:57Speaker 1: signed by Bill in Evansdale, and he sent five pictures.
- 57:02Speaker 1: That's a view very similar to what you look at
- 57:04Speaker 1: from the outside of the stadium. And there they are
- 57:07Speaker 1: now hiking in the that'd be a great Hoppy trip.
- 57:10Speaker 1: Hoppy likes to do that stuff. They're hiking in those
- 57:12Speaker 1: mountains Wasatch Mountains. And then there's a bunch of mountaineer
- 57:17Speaker 1: fans that were there for the ball contest. And here's
- 57:21Speaker 1: a look at the outside of the stadium at night,
- 57:26Speaker 1: had little dark clouds, they had some precipitation throughout the course,
- 57:30Speaker 1: and then there was there that's kind of where the
- 57:32Speaker 1: West Virginia section was, but it went that they're pretty
- 57:35Speaker 1: low to the section, but it went all the way
- 57:37Speaker 1: up to the top. So thank you very very much. Yeah,
- 57:42Speaker 1: So as far as in game entertainment, again, prisoner of
- 57:47Speaker 1: the moment because I just saw it, but I'm open
- 57:49Speaker 1: for someone to show me a better in game entertainment.
- 57:52Speaker 1: Really it was crazy, and I know they gave us
- 57:55Speaker 1: a little bit extra because they had the drone show.
- 57:58Speaker 1: They had these dr thousands of drones flying around the
- 58:02Speaker 1: stadium the entire night, making various you know the character
- 58:05Speaker 1: of those logos and shapes and the Y and the
- 58:08Speaker 1: BYU and their mascot, and just NonStop the amount of
- 58:14Speaker 1: fireworks that they explode during the course of a game,
- 58:18Speaker 1: from the start to the end of it. During it,
- 58:20Speaker 1: I mean, I've never seen anything like it. The third
- 58:24Speaker 1: quarter to fourth quarter break was absolutely as good as
- 58:29Speaker 1: there is. I'm surprised I had not heard about it before.
- 58:32Speaker 1: But basically, lights go off, they bring in like enough
- 58:38Speaker 1: a gear for a concert, onto the middle of the field.
- 58:41Speaker 1: They get the Cougar, the Cougar mascots there, they have
- 58:44Speaker 1: them on a podium. He's got this massive drum and
- 58:47Speaker 1: the stadium lights start to blink and every time he
- 58:50Speaker 1: hits that drum, it reverberates throughout the stadium, and the
- 58:53Speaker 1: entire stadium in Unison is raising his hands. But the
- 58:56Speaker 1: thing that caught me was the entire BYU team does
- 58:59Speaker 1: the same thing. Like you can forget coaching. Between the
- 59:02Speaker 1: third and the fourth quarter, all of the players same deal.
- 59:05Speaker 1: They're throwing their arms up, kind of like the the
- 59:08Speaker 1: dance and the New Zealand thing kind of a thing's
- 59:10Speaker 1: got a little bit of that field. What's that called
- 59:12Speaker 1: a hookah? Hakka, what is that thing? When they do?
- 59:14Speaker 1: You know what I mean? I know what you mean.
- 59:15Speaker 1: So that's happening, right, And then four dudes with grass
- 59:19Speaker 1: skirts come out, bare chested and they have these lit,
- 59:26Speaker 1: flaming large batons, baton type thing, and they start right
- 59:34Speaker 1: they're dealing with those things and there and it's dark
- 59:36Speaker 1: and you're seeing that, and then here come the fireworks.
- 59:40Speaker 1: Here come the drones again. I mean, it is just
- 59:43Speaker 1: absolute and this is all between one quarter.
- 59:46Speaker 2: That's incredible.
- 59:47Speaker 1: It was just like, holy gosh.
- 59:50Speaker 2: You were listening to you. It was you were very
- 59:53Speaker 2: taken aback. Now now now drones have come up. Now
- 59:56Speaker 2: they're doing the cougar. Now here come in on the
- 59:58Speaker 2: field with flames. So again you were you are very chested.
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: It was as good as I've ever seen. And that
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this. I've been around,
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: I've seen some stadiums.
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: So isn't that Okay, it's a tough place to go
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: play football and basketball, but isn't that cool to have
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: them in the league.
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: It is? It is and I can't wait to be
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: good again.
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: Brad, isn't it well? I don't know, you would forego
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: the fireworks.
- 1:00:30Speaker 3: Rutgers.
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: Give you a temple and a guy handing out pizza
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: slices at halftime.
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: Right, so a couple of a couple of takeaways. I mean,
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: money is absolutely no option. Oh yeah, loaded, money is
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: no object when you.
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: Have health the wealthiest college in America.
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, they're they're, they're their total valuation exceeds
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: that of the Catholic religion. And you know, the Catholic
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: religion doesn't hurt for dollars, right, And so when you
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: have unlimited resources you can do stuff like that. They
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: throw in the drones throw like some departments like BRED,
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: you know, like in a marketing meeting back in the day,
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: like look, we could do the drones, or we could
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: do the fireworks. But they're like, no, don't all. We
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: can do it all. And like their set up their
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: TV studios set up outside of the stadium where they
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: do their their pregame on b YU TV. Let's just
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: think about this. They brought in. They brought in Kevin Pittsnagel,
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: Jeff Hostetler, Philip Bowen, right, Tavon Austin, they all brought
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: them in for their just to sit on their set
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: during their pregame show. Well, think about that and their
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: pregame show equipment wise, I mean it rivaled any national net.
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not the network, it's there, it's their network.
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: But it's like that's the YU TV set up, it's
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: b y U TV set but like that's the brand ESPN, ESPN,
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: Fox TV, Like that's the same setup. It's the same
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: kind of crane that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: It's everything, full studio set up outside. Like so money
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: is not an object and to Brad's concerned. To Brad's
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: concerned that that's not just for equipment, ice cream and fireworks.
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: That's also for players.
- 1:02:14Speaker 3: Right, if they just spend it on on drone shows
- 1:02:16Speaker 3: and grass skirt guys with flames and give you ice cream,
- 1:02:19Speaker 3: I'd be great, be all for that, correct, But they're
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: drifting over into player procurement. Then I got a little
- 1:02:24Speaker 3: bit of a yeah, a little bit. Who knows what
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: the number is? Who knows what the number is for basketball?
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: But the you know, they've got the number one recruit
- 1:02:34Speaker 3: in the country who's going to be a freshman, he'll
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: be one and done, And the number that you hear is, yeah,
- 1:02:39Speaker 3: demands to multiple millions of dollars.
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: To get him.
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: Is West Virginia going there this year?
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: No, they're coming here late. Okay, the Utah's Utah is
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: coming here in BYU is coming here late. So they're balling.
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: And I talked with Greg Rubell, their play by play announcer,
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: and they they they just went full face in non
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: conference basketball like they're playing boys. Well they should.
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: Sure that's a top ten team because remember they picked
- 1:03:07Speaker 3: up Robert Wright from Baylor, who was Baylor's starting point
- 1:03:10Speaker 3: guard last year a freshman. They paid a lot to
- 1:03:12Speaker 3: get him. Richie Saunders Returns and all big twelve players
- 1:03:15Speaker 3: that that might be the best trio in this league.
- 1:03:18Speaker 3: Those three there, they're gonna be a challenge. So again,
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: spend more on ice cream.
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: Please.
- 1:03:25Speaker 3: Here's what what can I give a quick shout out
- 1:03:26Speaker 3: here from these guys in a while. Remember the guys,
- 1:03:29Speaker 3: well remember the fellas that I had that issue with
- 1:03:32Speaker 3: my lawnmower that was unsolvable.
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: I mean it's just so unique.
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: Couldn't figure it out right when you forgot to charge
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: the battery, I.
- 1:03:40Speaker 3: Mean really unsolvable. Until the guys came up, Jason John.
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: They helped us out but.
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: Were those guys been Well, are they okay?
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: Yeah, here's where they've been. You know they they don't
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: just repair lawnmower impossible.
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: They built.
- 1:03:52Speaker 3: They build race cars and then race them like drag racing.
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: Listen to this.
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: Text I got okay.
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: Are they okay?
- 1:03:59Speaker 3: They're more than okay. Jason tells me. They finished their
- 1:04:02Speaker 3: last race last weekend. They have set two national records,
- 1:04:08Speaker 3: two races in a row, and now become the first
- 1:04:11Speaker 3: ever ten time national championships. No one had ever won
- 1:04:16Speaker 3: more than seven on their circuit. No one had ever
- 1:04:18Speaker 3: won more than seven. That was them, just straight drag racing. Yeah,
- 1:04:21Speaker 3: broke their own record of now ten world championships, two
- 1:04:27Speaker 3: national records in the last two races.
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: Pretty good. Well, I were starting to get worried about them.
- 1:04:32Speaker 3: They'll be up for the homecoming game. Season's over now
- 1:04:35Speaker 3: and as he win world championships. So you got Dale
- 1:04:38Speaker 3: Blaney in the last show wins the Outlaws at his
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: age right, oldest ever, and you got these young sparks right,
- 1:04:45Speaker 3: and they do guys fixed your lawn.
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: Over this dynasty. How they fixed it? Well, what they
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: did was they said your battery was dead. That's Mark will.
- 1:04:52Speaker 3: Fixed by these guys, So it's not a surprise they
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: come and fix that thing.
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: Diagnosed the problem quickly. Kirchfull battery was dead.
- 1:04:59Speaker 3: It was unsolvable issue.
- 1:05:03Speaker 2: It took World Champion racers to come in and fix
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: Bread's lawn war.
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: So I'm saying, by the way, it's broken, is it?
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: Broken all season?
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: Did charge your battery?
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: Don't to start, He's absolutely incompetent.
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: Won't start, don't start mechanically, just not inclined.
- 1:05:20Speaker 3: I do other things change The Spark Club did some
- 1:05:24Speaker 3: things changes, Spark Filters, New Filters did a lot quin
