  Speaker 2: monkey and a diaper sitting on your head, you're asking

  Speaker 3: Discussion can end there. That's right, a statement on the issue.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Now we move on.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: So how many times have you thought about that was
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: a bad idea that I had a monkey on my head?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Since you had the monkey on your head.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Every time I go visit doctor Pillow Green on my

  Speaker 1: Yeah, doc, I also had a monkey. Excuse me, I
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: had a monkey on my head with a diaper on.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Imagine that's first time Doctor Ron has ever heard.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: That one A lot Doctor Ron has.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: He's one of the great West Virginia's he's up there
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: from the Northern Panhana.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: He's awesome, tremendous.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Doctor Ron, good dude. All right, on our program,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: We've got stuff to get into. West Virginia's basketball team
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: dropped one to Wake Forest. We'll get into all of
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: that and what it means. We record Monday. That means
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: tomorrow West Virginia will entertain Little Rock. Did you start
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: prep yet on Little Rock?
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Yet?
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Did not know who their head coach was until this morning?
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: How about that? The guy's been around, Saryl Walker.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, one of the world's championships with the Chicago Bulls
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: and his final seat in the NBA has coached.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: This is the only place he hasn't coached.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: He's been around, loves the game, certainly been around. But
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: put that put that into context. This means well, two
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: of the last three teams that the Mountaineer men's basketball
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: team has played a coach has been an NBA player.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Now you wouldn't know that with Larry Stewart because he
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: wasn't a round long. Didn't get a look at him,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: not really get that good.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: It's just like good idea him.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: But a personal checklist for me too. This will be
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: the second coach of an opponent the Mountaineers have played that.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I'll be able to tell I had a lot of
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: his basketball cards growing up. Yeah, I had a lot
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: of Reggie Theis cards Cookman last year. And then there
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: are a lot of Darryl Walker carts.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's that's tomorrow night. We'll get into that.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Uh what a wild weekend. I'm just going to jump
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: right over to the high school football stuff. Oh my gosh,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you can't make those. Those are like Disney movie endings.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't know how you can possibly see
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: another one like that. Three of the four games came
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: down to the final play. That's unbelievab great, great, high
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: level drama, tremendous, just talent and performers. And then now
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: even news coming out of that Maddox Twig, the talented
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: sophomore quarterback from from Morgantown High was just elite. Three
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifteen of the three hundred and sixteen totally
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: yards for the Mahogans. He had led him in tackles
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: on the defensive side. So what a what a historic
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: win from Morgantown High. Twig was was a star among
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: a bunch of stars for them and today was offered
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: a scholarship from Rich Rodriguez and company.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: A couple over here at the college he was. Yeah.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: A couple of things about that is Dave Wilson does
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: to play by play at Morgantown locally, and he says,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: you got everybody now saw what he saw all season,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: and Brea had a chance for him to be on
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: statewide display and he did not disappoint. He had an
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: incredible game and good good pr move by West Virginia
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: along with the athletic move to go in the wave right,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: so hey get the now.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: In all due respect, he did have a statewide stage
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: in the opening game of the year when Metro News
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: TV also televised his opening game and he went about
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: eighty yards in a zigzag fashion for a touchdown to watch,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: he announced himself on the state wide stage in that moment. Yeah,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: he's he's one of the good ones. There's a great
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: crop of sophomore quarterbacks in this state, and a bunch
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: of them were on display Saturday. There's a there's there's
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: a handful of them. Twig might be at the very
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: top of that class.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Taking nothing away from any of the teams. But Frankfurt.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: We talked to coach there, Yeah, we talked to him
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Saturday morning before they left the motel, saw him and uh,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: he had one in his pocket there for that last
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: play that they scored on and had been working on
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: it for two weeks and they I went back and
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: watched it like eight times. You talk about perfect execution.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: So that was one of the games I had.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: I talked to Kevin yesterday for a little bit after
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: the game and said to him, man, two, I mean
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: I said it on the air, and then I said
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: it to him just personally, just the the intestinal fortitude
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: to call that play right then. And he told me
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: they had run it about as poorly as you can
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: run it for the weekly in the said ran it
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: so bad. I told the coaches it's out, get it
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: out of the playbook. We're not running it. So they
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: had had it in for two weeks as a direct snap.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: They moved it to the pass in the week leading
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: into that game, so that was a new wrinkle onto
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: a play that was already there, and so intestinal fortitude
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: to call it. And then the direct snap to Braden Tyler,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: who was their talented running back on one of a few.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: They have the fact that in that moment, two things happen.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: In that moment, they had to sell the fake. Two
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: people had to sell that it was a run and
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: that you were just going to set up maybe a
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: long field goal attempt to try and win the game.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Tyler tucks it like if you go back and watch
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: the replay, tucks it as if he's running. And then
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: we had a great camera and our crew did a
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: great job on it from behind looking down the field
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: and the receiver Nester goes out like he's going to block.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: And again in that moment, and you're fifteen seventeen years old,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: and you've got to you've got to stay in character
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: and fake the block before you release to lead to
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: a wide open ball over the top touchdown to win
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: the World Champions.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Throw the ball, catch the ball. All those things just awesome.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Did you have any.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Surprise visitors in the booth did saw President Benson came
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: up to say hello during during that game in Factor
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: in the Frankfort. Well, he was listening and while we're here,
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: we might as well talk about before we get in
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: the games. He did confirm he didn't affirm as first
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: reported on this podcast last week.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: With policy, it's all or something enrollment issue or what
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: the committee, the U the new the new pronunciation of Marriott.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: It's Mary.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: President Benson, whose grandfather was friends with j. W. Marriott,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: confirmed that it's married.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: So the President told you his grandfather, new personal friend
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: knew j W. Marriott, and he says it's Marriott. It's
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: not Marriott Marriott.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: And to the President's credit, when he was saying it,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: I was listening intently. He said, Mary Marriott, Marriott out
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Marriott in speaking by President Vincent is great to see.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Great to see downtown representing it the championships.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Speaking of Marriott, we had a fun time Friday night
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: at the event at the Marriott in Charleston. The Golden
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Blue Enterprises let us come in there and host a
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: night to talk football recruiting. We had Rich Rodriguez, we
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: had Zach Alley, we had Travis Trickett, we had Chuck Lilly,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the general manager, among others, and we broke down the class.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I think it's we're close to fifty names, now close
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: to fifty, and we did seventeen videos of the players
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: that they, you know, wanted to chat about. And Rich
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: could not have been in better form.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: He was on fire, he was funny, so a plus performance.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was good. He was good. And remember that
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: guy told you, like you could get a feel before
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the class that they had five cards up their sleeve
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: and then they just started laying them down. Well, guess what,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I think they put about fifteen more cards up their
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: sleeve here for this transfer.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Really for the january is it January?
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: February?
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: When is it? It's February, early January. I think it opens.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm saying when they sign them, right when they
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: sign them, it'll be coming up here in the next.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: They also they all confirmed, you know a lot of
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: times you'll hear say, hey, they were really excited about
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: their club. They really like their guys, they really like
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: they really like their guys. There's any behind the scenes
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: you need on that they really like this class thing.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Tony's right, went through some videos. There's they feel like
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: they got some guys. Yeah, well some guys, and they
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: are gonna and they are gonna play right now, like
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: not not guys are gonna project down the road. There's
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: a few of those, of course. I mean there's some
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: guys right now. It looks like they do get in it.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: It looks like they do. I mean, they're ranking has
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: been the lowest ranking I've seen a thirty. The highest
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: ranking I've seen is like twenty seven, twenty five. So yeah,
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: they should be happy.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Portal opens January two for a fifteen day window to
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the sixteenth. But it sounds as though in the way
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: this thing is working now, they already have conversations going.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: They know what they're gonna get, and from what I understand,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: it's gonna make people once again around the country go
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: like whoa.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: By the way, I have I have a obvious observation
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: about that when we.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Get to it, all right, we might as well get
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: going here then.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, might about the game as well.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: About the Saturday game, Yeah, a lot to get into that, well,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you got a lot to get in.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: He's got thoughts that sound brand new.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: But the things we already knew, I'm ready, Heaven knows.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: I take it quick before.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: No medals on that picture, thank you, yeah baby.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Let's start with the basketball game Saturday against Wake Forest.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Very disappointing because the one game in Charleston, guys, you
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: had the crowd there. Maybe for some of those people
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: one of the few times, Brad, they'll get to see
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: the team. And just it was not a good performance
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: for a couple of reasons. One is, Brad you and
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: I listen to you, guys, listen the whole game, and
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Brad you said one of the keys was protecting the basketball, and.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: I know he said it was the number one key.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: And you'll have some stats on this, but they turned
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: the ball over way way too many times. And what
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: happened after you turned the ball.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Over get well, we will get to that and spreads
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: on stats, and it was it was you can stop.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: You can stop your obvious observations, we can stop the recap,
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: we can stop spreads on stats.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: That was the game, and I'll let you give stats
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: on that. But I mean that thing stood out like
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: a sore thump. Terrible. Started out terrible shooting, I mean
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: over eleven from three point range, and then they got
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: a little bit hot to start the second half. But
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: one of the things, and again I'll defer to you
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: guys on this, there's there's inconsistent scoring here, right. I
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: mean they'll go through periods where like, oh, Huff is
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: hot or more as hot. But then Saturday, nobody else
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: stepped uphim. Eagle Staff didn't score and he didn't get
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: points from other guys. So I thought it was really
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: inconsistent offensively for West Virginia.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: The other thing is Tony you said during the broadcast,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Juke Harris was as advertised, and then as the game
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: went on in the second half, he said he's better
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: than advertised.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he had a game.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: He was good, he had a game. He's an NBA
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: you know, pick probably second round. But Duke Harris had
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: a game. He's the best player on the court. But
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: the halftime to be tied at thirty four, and then
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: to lose the way you did, I just thought it
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: was wildly disappointing. And at some point he got to
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: the free throw line. But still so at some point
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: in these games where it's really the ans makers say
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: it's basically a pick them, at some point you want
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: to start winning some of these games. So I thought
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: it was once again an opportunity that slipped away. But
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: I'll let you guys talk more about that. The ballgame
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: coming up this week with Little Rock. We talked about
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: that and I got nothing for you except they've lost
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: the last X number of games. Obviously they're struggling. Brad,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: I'll have more on that. Darryl Walker interesting story. Ten
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: years in the NBA. He's coached a lot of different places,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: and now he's coming to Morgantown. I searched desperately for
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: a West Virginia angle on Little Rock and could not
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: find one. So let me go to recruiting. Tony. You
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: said something the other day when we talk about recruiting
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: that interested me because we're talking about getting recruits from
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: all over and you said, hey, the currency is good
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: in any state.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it works, yeah, Spence.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And so I thought, well, let's them look here.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: So I went through all these recruits. West Virginia's recruits
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: come from twenty seven different states and one other continent, Australia.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: If you look at the miles between Morgantown and the
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: states where they came from, not the hometown, but the states,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: right twenty five thousand miles. It's one way to look
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: at the recruiting which is now national. Twenty five thousand.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Miles sounds like a Mountaineer football Big twelve road trip.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: It does?
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I mean a player. They got a player from Oregon. Player.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: You got a player from Alaska.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Player of the year out of Oregon.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: By the way, they got a player from three players
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: from Louisiana, two players from Oklahoma, the California player from California,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: player from Minnesota. And I thought, wow, twenty seven in states.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: I went back to Rich Rodriguez's two thousand and one roster,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: looked at the entire roster, and it represented eighteen states.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: So the recruiting class Brad for this year, this is
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: before the transfers. The recruiting class for this year is
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: twenty represents players from twenty seven states. The entire roster
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: for Rich's first year represented eighteen states plus nine. What's
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: that plus nine plus nine? Right?
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Twenty seven eighteen plus nine, you're up nine We add
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: in nine states.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so you added nine of eight. So you're
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: up fifty percent a number of states represented in the recruiting.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: You see how many total twenty eight.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Twenty seven, twenty five thousand miles from Gorgantown to those
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Morgantown to those locations.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: What Jan Dills has clients in twenty three more of
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: those states because she has clients in all fifty states.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: That recruit came in from Alaska. They do business there.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Adrian Morel a few years back, A few years back, Hawaii, right,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Jendill's attorneys at law. They won't take no for an answer.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: You And in two thousand and one, most of your
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: players the plurality was from West Virginia, followed by you
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: can figure it out, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Now you got players from all over.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Well, I understand your point, and you're correct that this
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: is leaving regionality. And the reason that it's leaving regionality
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: is because it's a different composition than it used to be.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: It used to be an amateur sport. Now it's a
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: professional sport. It's no different than any professional team building
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: its roster together. Like the Chicago Bulls. Don't say, hey,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: we need to get players from the Midwest. They'll take
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: players from anywhere. Same things happening here in all seriousness,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: no joking aside, like money spends like three hundred thousand dollars,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: four hundred thousand dollars, five hundred thousands. It's the same
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: in Oregon as it is in Pennsylvania. So like you're
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: going to start to see that they're going to find
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: identify talent, they're going to make their pitch and so
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: you're going to get more and more kids that aren't
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: going to be from around here. They'd love to have
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: them from around here. It makes it easier, but not necessarily.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: I just thought that was a I thought that was
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: a quantifying of how recruiting with with Rev Chaer and
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Innil has changed.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what. They got two dudes from Pennsylvania
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: go far. A couple of dudes. Kevin Brown and see
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: you know what jumped out to me one of the
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: things Friday night and talking to them, and and Rich said,
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: I'll go back to he sat in this chair this
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: summer and said he was going to play he was
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: comfortable winning with five quarterbacks, right, And we all went,
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: what are you talking about? And even after the air,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: I said, well, you're full of it. You're not going
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: to play five quarterbacks. And he never wavered, did he?
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: And guess what they did? Now some of it was necessity,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: but I think they were playing five quarterbacks, whether those
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: guys got hurt or not. So he was up front
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: and he has not wavered. The next thing he hasn't
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: wavered from, and it goes back into the fall is
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: these two way players, right, and you saw it dribbled
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: out there with Curtis Jones this year, and again some
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: of that's probably necessity based, but he continues to talk.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: See that wasn't just a recruiting line to get him here.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Kid that's talented, really good on both sides of the ball.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: He said, yeah, he's gonna start a safety for us.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: I mean you can put him out start on that
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: side of the ball and get him, get him acclimated.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: There he goes, but yeah, we're gonna put him in
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: a slot and there's gonna be a quarterback package for him, right,
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: he's gonna he's planning on using the guy and said,
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: what did I give him there?
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: At that thing?
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: I said over under dual players, dual threat players next
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: year for you, I think I said four and a half.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: I put the number one I thought was high, and
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: he like he looked at me like I was crazy.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: He goes way over He said seven and a half
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: and I'd go over so's I just find that interesting
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: that that is again if you if you parse through
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: all the things that he says, that is he is
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: not wavering from that. He started in the fall saying
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: we're gonna get more guys, and with roster spots the
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: way they are, we're looking for guys that can go
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: on both sides of the ball. And he continued that Friday.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Tony, you know the reality of it is Walkons are gone. Yeah,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: walcons are no longer available. One hundred people, one hundred
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: and five people on the roster.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Well, because he expanded scholarship.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Under there's also two guys, and he mentioned this a
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: little bit. I do think the Travis Hunter thing did
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: maybe open some eyes that it's possible, and you do
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: have to worry about the injury side of things, like
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: not everybody can do this. It is a, as we know,
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: such a physical game, and you saw the injuries with
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: West Virginia. But as he points out, so many of
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: these guys are playing both ways anyway, and there are
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: they are talented on either side of the ball. We
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: saw Utah do it this year with what three different
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: guys that they had playing a receiver and defensive back.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: So this isn't like like we just saw in the
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: high school championships where the bulk of both teams are
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: playing both ways. But if you can mix two or
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: three guys in that play significant snaps and they can
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: help you, and a tight end can help you as
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: a fill in pass rusher or seed can help you
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: as a it becomes a starting safety, but can also
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: come in and run the ball a couple of times
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: out of the slot, or catch a couple or runner
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: throat at a quarter. I like that pretty It's just
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: an interesting new development. I think in college football that's
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: that's headed in that get.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: The best players on the field. Yes, get the best
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: players on the field.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Does that conclude your observations?
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was going to vince them about Notre Dame,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: but I'm not going to.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: I was going to bring that up next. I thought
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: it was a beautiful day. I thought it was a
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: beautiful day. And this is not taking a shot at
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame that they didn't get in just because there
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: was so much unhappiness and craziness. No, I'm being serious.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I think we need to have this happen so that
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: it just continues to get people so upset by it
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: that you come back and recreate a new system.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Well do they need to recreate?
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: So I think my point is this, these things happening,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: acc getting left out, these things help lead to change
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: to try to get this thing more of some form.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Oh they didn't because of Miami Fair.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: So I understand.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Who wasn't even one of the two team teams that
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: played for the conference title and they get in. Also,
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: you know what needs to be left out? Guys? And
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: I mean I get it. We're in the entertainment business too,
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: I completely understand it. But man, ESPN has absolutely just
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: what a debacle they've created on this TV show. What
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: are they doing? And they're putting they're putting college football
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: leaders in a bad spot be in the chair of
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: that committee and having to go out and come up
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: with the word salad and the gymnastics that you have
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: to do to try and explain what you're doing for
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: nothing that appears more than entertainment value, Like what were
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: we doing then with Notre Dame up there the whole time, Hey,
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: we're going to rope it up with you with Notre Dame.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: And people are screaming about how can it not be
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Miami And they're screaming, it's not Miami, and they're screaming,
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: it's not Miami, and then it's Miami at the last minute. No,
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: by the way, where did BYU go? Where did b
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Why you go from a big twelve percent they were
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: in on the final show. You're not supposed to be
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: affected by a conference championship game. And oh, by the way,
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: if you're playing in the SEC, you're not affected by
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: the conference championship game. Alabama gets absolutely smoked, greased, embarrassed,
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: still get in. But BYU gets beat only losses to
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Texas Tech, a team that gets a bye. And they
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: were twelve. They were twelve? Why did they fall out?
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Where did they go? How did BYU not get in?
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: And I listen, I don't need the text coming because
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: I've read all the stuff, and I've listened to all
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: this stuff too. I get what they're saying. But the
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: whole thing has become what are we doing? What are
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: we doing?
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: I don't even follow it. I don't turn the thing on.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: It's a clown show. Clown show. So it is pro wrestling? Man, yes,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: perfect say.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: It's pro wrestling. Say that the show's leading into it.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, what are we spending hours upon hours and
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: again it's like us just doing talk radio all night. Okay,
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: you gotta have stuff to talk about. I get that.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: I understand that. I don't know that you have to
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: have that show when you do, but it it drives
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: what we're doing right now, the discussion. But man, I
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: would be hot if I were a bunch of schools
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: that were hung up in this just bizarre mess. What
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: are the rules? When does it matter? Why does it
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: say in the byelaws that important players and coaches is
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: can affect if a team gets in or out or
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: where they're seated. But then Lane Kiffin leaves the head
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: coach and the primary offensive mind of that team and
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: it's not affected. It didn't affect them. If I'm Florida
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: State today, I lose my ever loving mind again that
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: you got left out because your quarterback got hurt. If
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes gets dinged before the Super Bowl last year,
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: do you played the Super Bowl? Do you play the Playoff?
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's just is you want to be professional,
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: but then you continue to act like this and you're
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: not professional. It's a bizarre. It just bizarre.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: There's so many bizarre setup there and.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, happy when the playoffs start, I'll
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: be right there watching everything.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Well, it's just we all get pulled along. But there's
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: so many things wrong with the current system, right, I mean,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: there's so many things wrong with it. And the more
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: you expand the teams, the more it becomes it's still
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: going to be controversy. I mean there's a controversy in
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: basketball when you have sixty eight teams. Ah, the sixty
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: nine team didn't get in.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, so you don't need to say that on
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: this show. What you don't need to point out there
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: was controversy in the basketball selection process.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: I you know, I was thinking about I thought, I
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: actually thought the best of a lot yesterday and this morning.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: And the biggest thing is I am a I guess
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: I'm old school. I am a huge fan of the Bulls,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: gigantic fan of the Bulls, and it just seems like
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: year after year they get diminished. And I think that's
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: I think that's tragic for a couple of reasons. One
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: is the Bulls themselves are a big deal for the communities,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: and the complaint before you had a national championship playoff,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: the complaint was, well, you don't know who the national
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: champion is. How can you have a sport and not
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: determine the national championship. I understand that argument, but the
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: argument for the ball system was always that you can
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: have a pretty good year and go to a bowl
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: and be the champion of the bowl. And I don't recall, Brad,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: we've been to a million bowls and we've covered a
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: million bowls. I don't recall any team winning a Bowl
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: game going well, it doesn't matter, we're not going to
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: put the trophy up in the trophy room. I mean,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: those are important. I think they're important to teams. And
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: the fact that it was it is different to me
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: was a great appeal. And the fact that you had
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: this mythical national championship, I didn't care let them argue
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: about it. I like the fact that teams could be
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: have a good year and be champions of bowls. The
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: fact that it was different to me was the appeal.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Talk about the change and attitude toward bowls. We've got
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: a pair of Big twelve teams that are each going
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: to send a check of five hundred thousand dollars to
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: the Big Twelve headquarters because they said, hey, thanks, but
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: no thanks, we're not going to a bowl game. And
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame, Iowa State, Kansas State, Notre Dame flipped their
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: middle finger off as well. It said, don't care you
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: think the bowl systems changed one thousand percent. It's changed
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: because all of the focus has gone to the CFP
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: and everything else has become diminished.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Well not in a.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Playoffs well, but also the second part of that. Two
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: of those three have new coaches, and we've seen, we've
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: done the games, We've seen how difficult that can be
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: for teams that are going in there with a new
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: coach or no coach and an interim coach. And those
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: people have lives to get on with two that have
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: that have been released from their staff. So you see
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: what those schools are saying. They're just like, what, No,
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: we got to get in with the portal and will
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: prepare for a game your your portal recruitings behind. So
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: it's the thing is is jacked up in a lot
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: of ways. Last thing on this does does AC does.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame immediately ended scheduling alliance with the ACCU openly
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: lobbying for Miami. The acc was the ACC network playing
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: on almost a loop the Miami Notre Dame game head
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: to head. I mean, if I'm Notre Dame, I mean
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: you got you got a lot of people to be
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: mad at today for Notre Dame, I get it. I
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: think the commissioner Phillips might be getting a phone call.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: They're like, what are you doing here?
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Like I said, eat yourselves up.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Well, well, they're not in the league. They're not a
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: football member of the league.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: But they are in every other sport. Every other school
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: in a schedule five ACC teams a year. They also
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: needs the five scheduled ACC football games there. Notre Dame
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: does not. That's a favor to that ACC league to help.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: M Notre Dame schedule.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: That's a tough move by what the a SEC just did.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Pr wise, they lost to Miami, they lost to Texas
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: A and M then they did reel off ten wins.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: They did beat USC. That was a light schedule after
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: those first two games. That was a light schedule, and
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: then Notre Dame goes.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: But we're just not going to go commotion craziness love it.
• 27:19

• 32:47
  Speaker 1: CPA group. Good Dudes and gals. Lor let's jump int.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: A quick Wake wrap up. First, let's dive into these numbers.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: We mentioned it on the show last week. Wake ninety
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: eighth percentile in creating live ball turnovers.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: So we said it there, and Hopy right, we said
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: it on the broadcast.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: It was the number one key You've got to limit
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: the turnovers, and you just couldn't do it. West Virginia
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: struggled in that area right from the start. Hoppy, you
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: mentioned the seventeen total led to a points off points
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: off turnover advantage for Wake that was just too much
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: to overcome twenty five to fourteen, So minus eleven, one
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: third of Wake's points came via those points off turnovers.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: It was that's an area that West Virginia normally wins.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: You definitely can't lose it by eleven. But here's here's
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: the number that really jumped out to me in the
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: postgame look back at it. Thirteen of those seventeen were
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: the dreaded live ball turnover variety, and Ross said in
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: the pregame interview. If we're gonna have turnovers, throw that
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: sucker into the third row. Do not give up the
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: live balls. Well we did. Wake was elite not only
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: in getting them but converting them to points. How about this, guys,
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: nearly two points per possession off those thirteen live ball turnovers.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: So think about that, very nearly a basket every time
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: you created a turnover. So sometimes you get turnovers and
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: escape and you know they're bad and you want to
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: limit turnovers, but okay, you can survive. This was almost
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: literally we're going to turn it over. And by the way,
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: you don't even need to go to the other end.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: Just put two more points up on the scoreboard. So
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: that right there, I'll give you a couple more numbers.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: That right there was the difference in the game, and
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: it was if you were if you were watching or
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: listening to us, it was the hard hedge where the
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: second defender jumps out at the ball carrier and now
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: there's a trap out front. Westfordinia really struggled with that.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: There was also some blitzing in the posts. They would
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: come and double team and it was really aggressive. And
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: we had talked about their length and their athleticism and
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: it was something Westergan prepared for it. It wasn't like this
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: was a surprise and the ball handlers were out front
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: that were like, oh my god, what are they doing.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: We haven't seen this. They worked on it was for you,
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: worked on it, talked about it, game planned for it.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: You just couldn't execute it when the moment came. They
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: were better defensively in that situation than you weren't controlling
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: the pass.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: One hundred percent. And the lesson hopefully has been learned
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: because guess what, Iowa State will defend better. Houston will
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: defend better. A bunch of teams in the league will
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: defend better than Wake Forest. They will get up in you.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: West Virginia has got to get a lot tougher with
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: the ball, got to get a lot tougher, and it's
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: an eye opening experience, I would think for a lot
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: of those guys.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: The second area we identified was the offensive rebounding part
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: of things, and it started with West Virginia defensively, who
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: going into the game was number one in the nation
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: with defensive reboundings. We said, you gotta limit Wake's second
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: chance opportunities. So coming into the game, Weake got twenty
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: percent of its points from second chances. West Virginia held
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: them below that average, just ten second chance points thirteen
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: percent of their total. But in a game when you
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: were trying to climb back into it and claw back
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: in the second half, especially, how important were a couple
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: of those offensive rebounds for Wake in the second half
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: really prevented you from grabbing it and getting a chance
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: to go and cut into that lead. So it wasn't
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: so much the total amount, but they did probably get
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: more than you wanted to. On the flip side of
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: that equation, we did identify and say, hey, you're gonna
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: have a chance against Wake, most likely to get some
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: offensive rebounds yourself. West Virginia hadn't been great in that area,
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: but this looked like a matchup where you could do it.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: And man did they most offensive rebounds in a game
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: since twenty twenty two. Western absolutely pound of the goss.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: There were a couple possessions when they got three and
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: four cracks at it. West Virginia grabbed nearly sixty percent
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: of their available offensive rebounds. Of their misshots, they went
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: and got sixty percent of those as offensive rebounds. That's
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: a percentage It was in the ninety ninth percentile by
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: far the best performance all year.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Inter oot question. Yes, that because though so many missed
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: threes and long rebounds.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Now, well there were some of those, but it's also
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: just a flaw with wake Forest. They want to get
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: out and go, so they sometimes when the shot goes up,
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: a couple of their guys start leaking out. West Virginia
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: knew this would be a point of advance and made
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: a concerted effort to attack that glass and go get it.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: And yes, there were some misshots, so that allows the
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: raw number to be up, But that's why you use
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: those percentages, right, So it doesn't matter what the raw
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: number was so much when you're comparing the percentages, it
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: ends up still being the best game. But here's the
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: one part of that. In a game where you needed
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: to find a big advantage somewhere because you weren't making threes,
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: you weren't winning points off turnovers, that was your point
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: of differentiation. That's where you had to expose and destroy them,
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: and you just couldn't. You got fifteen points off the
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: nineteen offensive rebounds or twenty offensive rebounds, whatever that number finished.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: So that's one where you would have liked can you
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: get a point and a half per possession? Could you
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: had a really elite game and finish some of those
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: putbacks and got two points off of it. You didn't,
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: So you didn't get a big enough advantage to overcome
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: some of the other flaws. So that was that was disappointing,
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: but a great job on the offensive glass overall. West
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: Virginia Hoppy, as you mentioned, struggled to shoot it from
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: distance twenty two percent from three season low. And here's
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: the part that stings the most. You had a bunch
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: of open looks that you just couldn't get to drop.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna get those numbers here in just a second
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: for you. And that was the thing about the Wake
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: defense that you'll go back and probably kept Ross awake
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: at night. If you could have just made the first
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: pass out of the trap, Hoppy, then you have a
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: numbers advantage. Then you can attack the rim, you can
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: get to the paint and kick and get even more
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: open shots that that offense. What the defense was there
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: for the taking from Wake, that's a feast or famine
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: defense that if you avoid that trap out at mid court,
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: now you're cooking. And you just couldn't do it enough.
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: West Virginia had seven unguarded catch and shoot jumpers zero
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: zero points off those shots. Wow, you're even with all
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: your turnovers when you broke the crust there, you have
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: those open looks and you just couldn't get them to
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: fall on the flip side. Juke Harris, who we talked about,
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: he himself got twelve points on on guarded catching threes,
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: a season high. We mentioned during the broadcast he was
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: fifty percent from three when he was on guarded. He
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: was even better than that. He was outstanding. He got
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: those twelve points on just four shots. Do the math
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: hop every time and he was he left him open.
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: You didn't leave him open a lot. I mean West,
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: he did a good job of closing out only four
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: that were charted as on guarded. But man, he hit
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: He hit a three on you every time he was
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: left on guard.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: And when he was out in the first half of
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: those two fouls West Virginia there was even game thirty
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: four to thirty four when he was there the whole
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: second half. Tony, he was a difference maker.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: What do we often say what separates NBA players? Kay?
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: What do they do?
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: Make up shots?
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: The shot?
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: And they knock it down.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: That's why that guy's going to go play.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: So here's where credit to wake. So a couple of
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: things are happening that you're gonna watch moving forward. Honor
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: had his first game all season with zero on guarded
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: catch and shoot jump shots, so they were sticking to him.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: Right charted as zero on guard to catch and shoots.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: Now there's that comes at a cost, and that cost
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: was what a chance more?
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Do?
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: Chance more? Just attack the rack? Right just went to
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: the rim constantly. All twelve of his points came from
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: field goals that were charted at the rim, and then
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: he added four free throws to get to sixteen points.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: So if you're gonna if you're gonna chase Honor as
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: much as they did, there's there's opportunities and availability for others.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: Chance has been a fairly consistent second scorer when he's
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: been in and he's been he's returned. Now it's a
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: matter of who's the third who's the third scorer coming
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: for this group? And again, it can be a different guy,
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: and we've seen that from this West Virginia team and
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: it probably will be. It will likely be different people
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: each night, but you need to have somebody else step up,
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: because the aggressiveness on Honor is just going to continue
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: to ratchet up, and especially as you get to better teams.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: As you saw with Wake, they had the length in
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: the athleticism to be able to chase him.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: That's a real good analysis there. Yeah, well not.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: Real bright, but and Tony as you were talking about,
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was allowed and when they had something
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: to cheer about, the crowd was into it. And in
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: some of those long threes later in a game, when
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: West Virginia was trying to get back into it and
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: Huffed was shooting the three, they were just waiting. You
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: could tell they were waiting to make a difference.

• 42:23
  Speaker 3: couple of teams worse good, and then man, they've had
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: some unbelievable bad injury luck. KK Robinson is a guy
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: that was a really talented player. Came out as the
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: seventh best combo guard in twenty twenty when he entered college,
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: and he's been at Arkansas Little Rock now a couple

  Speaker 3: You're gonna keep an eye on Jonathan Lawson. Very good.
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: He was All Conference last year. He'd been at Memphis
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: and Creighton previously. He's averaging fourteen per game. Keep an

  Speaker 1: not that this is a live show or anything like that,
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: but we talked about this earlier. I might as well
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: go like this. This just came out from ESPN an
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: hour ago. Notre Dame's athletics director Pete Bavaqua unloaded on
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: the ACC today in the wake of the snubs, saying
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: that the conference that houses almost every fighting Irish sports
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: team has caused permanent damage.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: Permanent damage to the relationship, permanent damage.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: Lined Up told the Patent told the Dan Patrick Show
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: He's got great respect for Miami, Alabama and all the
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: teams and their cases for inclusion. However, upset how the
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: ACC pushed for Miami over Notre Dame leading up to
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: the selections, he said this, we were mystified by the
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: actions of the conference to attack their biggest really partner
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: in football and a member of their conference in twenty
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: four of our other sports. They have certainly done permanent
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: damage to the relationship between the conference and Notre Dame.
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: Which, as first.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: Which I say awesome because again I want the absolute.
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: Reference the ACC. Did he reference that at all?
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: Uh didn't mention that.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: So this is the West Virginia fans can be giddy
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: just you love a good cat fight that doesn't involve you,
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: right right?
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: Wait, shouldn't the ACC push for an ACC football team?
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: Well, they should include Notre Dame as one of them.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame won't join.
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: They schedule five, Well, they get them out.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: They played twenty four freaking sports in the ACC and
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: they play five acre.
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: They're They're as in as you can be in without
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: being in. I get it.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: How much money does the league make because they get
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: to play Notre Dame in football? Right? That was the
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: dumbest move of all time.
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: That's what I said. They're gonna, there is no doubt
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: in my mind they're gonna. They're pouring over the contract
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: right now to see how they get out of those
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: five football games. They're they're busy saying screw you to
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: everybody that that's coming next.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: I love it for ACC. Let this craziness take place. Everybody,
• 47:49

• 55:17
  Speaker 1: That's a first Tony Brad and the Moroccan Snake Charmer.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: Not really a doubv question, but in the light of
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: the coaching carousel, a lot of complaints about the calendar.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: Hoping you could clarify who has or what entity has
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: the capacity to make the calendar changes on coaching interviews
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: and tampering. There's no way it's the paper Tiger NCAA right,
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: is it a conference or could the CFP implement something?
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: Because if it's up to individuals, schools or agents, it
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: will never happen. Just hear a lot of moaning, but
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: no real solution or who can implement a solution. Thanks, guys,
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: have a great holiday. Jason in Ohia. To your point,
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: you're right on top of it, Jason. There isn't a
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: body that can make a call. No one's listening. That's
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: why we are where we are.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: Recruiting goes on all the time.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, text her, Oh this is it, this is the
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: one here. Thank you gentlemen for not scolding my wife
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: Jessica for interrupting your pregame prep on Wednesday. I was there.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: I was not there to intervene. But she doesn't listen
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: to me anyway. I heard she pitched a spinoff podcast
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: two guys in a WVU librarian. We can workshop the name,
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: appreciate all you do. Let's go. So there's a lady hoppy. Yeah,
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: she just kind of jumped right in there. The broadcast,
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: whether or not we were on the air or not,
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: didn't seem to matter. She wanted a picture, and so
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: there you.
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: Go, got it in. Yeah, it's nice to meet her.
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: Great to see her asking for a picture. Yep, I
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: will say this. I mean most of the time, I
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: am amenable. That'd be the word hoppy.
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: You're very amenable.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: No, No, most of the time I am. It's like
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: in those situations. Yeah, but like I will also say,
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: if it's the wrong time, m it won't be Well.
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: Let me let me say this for you that you
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: I've been around you a lot, tony and you are
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: very amenable to talking to people, being very gracious with
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: your time. You are outstanding.
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: Here comes the other part of that.
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: You are outstanding, however, and that includes you know, at
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: the broadcast location. But in fairness, and I'll say this
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: on your behalf, in fairness, when you are doing the game,
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: which is not easy to do. You're focused on when
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: you're doing the game, that's a good time to leave
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: you to do the game. And I want to and
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: wait till after the game to catch up with you.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: That's a wonderful way to say that. That's a very
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: nice way to say that.
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: And look, that's not because you're a jerk. You're not
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: at all. You're very amenable. It's just let you do
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: your job.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: Well. I'll Doug the security guard, I mean I don't
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: know what he's doing. What's he doing down the end?
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, is he doing anything? Red? Doug?
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: When you why are you not balling me?
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: I think Doug should be out there and running people
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: off or something.
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: Doug does a tremendous job. I never have an issue.
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: People are very nice, well I know they are, but
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: I mean your role was a little bit different.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: I think you just called you clown.
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: Of all of us on the set that aren't doing
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: anything during games, maybe that person should keep to themselves
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: what different jobs entail. That would be my advice to you.
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: As long as we're giving advice to each other, there's
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: one of us up here that's not doing anything during
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: a game. That person probably shouldn't tell the other two
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: what goes on during a game and how hard or
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: not hard it is.
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: But thank you for your input.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: Hi guys, my name is Mike. I love your show
• 58:43

• 58:52
  Speaker 2: That's not what I said.
• 58:53

  Speaker 3: this weekend while you were sitting at home coughing, hacking
• 59:09

• 59:11
  Speaker 3: you got me with your monkey taper on my head.
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: I still had to go to work. You sat at

• 59:17
  Speaker 3: tell me what I do on a daily basis?
• 59:22

• 59:31
  Speaker 1: wrecked my car when I heard this. Santa is my dad.
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: He's Gary Saunders, eighty five years old from Charleston. Originally
• 59:39

  Speaker 3: That's Santa. That guy saying he knows Santa?
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: Who's Sanna?
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: Is that like you're saying you know who the moth
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: man is?
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: Well, that sounds like this is one of Senna's helpers. Uh.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: Marriott pronunciation. I work with the folks all over the
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: state and appreciate all the different pronunciations of Kanaw and
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: Fayette County's terra alta. And what's that word hoppy? I
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: think it's just one go, one goes out how you
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: say it, and one goes hurricane. He says, hurricane is boring.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: Now I've never heard of one go where is that.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: What county is out the south might be Mingo. Let
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: me double check.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: For saying, guys, George from Mingo County in game text?
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: Is it just the coverage or is it dark in
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: the Charlotte Charleston Coliseum Now it's literally so dark it's
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: hard to watch. They got those new seats.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: Are black, but he does make it a little darker
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: with the seat therese are nice seats though.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they really did a nice upgrade on the seats.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: Maybe they might want to upgrade the internet inside the
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: Charleston Coliseum hadn't done a game there in fifteen years.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: Guess what same internet? Fix it? Get a big OC
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: three in there. Pump some internet Texter.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: It is one going into Pendleton County Pendleton three guys.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: The fellas on this hoops team look to me like
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: they are giving great effort, But for except for Huff,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: I have never seen so much hesitation to shoot it.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: When you got a wide open look created by the offense,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: you have to let it go.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: Huff will shoot.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: And if you're not trusted to shoot a shot created
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: for you, then you probably shouldn't be out there. Hope
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: Ross can find a way to make these guys comfortable
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: on the court. Robin Atlanta ps working on it. I
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: still have faith in this team. I think we've got
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: a variety of styles in depth, but it needs to
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: start gelling and becoming more consistent soon than later, otherwise
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: we might get left out of attorney again this year.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: It's one of the great challenges. You know, you're ten
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: games into a season for guys that haven't have not
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: only not played together, but haven't played in the system
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: that you're putting in place. It's just that's college basketball,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: not It's gonna take some time for a lot of
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: teams to come together. West Virginia one of those right now.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: Tommy Boy from Independence. I wanted to let y' all
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: know that I met someone who knows Homeless Day very well,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: his daughter, Maddie. I met her at Morgantown Planet Fitness.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: I know she's wearing the three Guys before the Game shirt.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: I asked her if she was a fan of the show.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: She says, my dad is Homeless Day. I said, no way.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: I introduced myself as Tom Barbera, also known as Tommy Boy.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: I asked her if her dad is busy with the
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: holiday season, and she said extremely thanks for all you
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: guys do.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: The fact that she said her dad is homeless day
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: it makes me giggle. Tells you it is.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: Now official on the all time worst nicknames. Accurate not accurate?
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: What kind of is I mean?
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: No, it's not, it's not it's not even remotely acting.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: Multiple homes, right, it's not that he doesn't even have
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: a home. He's got multiple You can't understand.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: Your inability to understand what was happening has led to
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: a nickname that isn't even remotely close to what the guys.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: That's why it's Funny's.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: He couldn't answer the questions, Hey, Tony, where do you live?
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: Where do you live?
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: Multiple places? Multiple locations?
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: I never even got to that. None.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 3: There's a second answer to that. It could be multiple.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: You took it the wrong way.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you need to be a better listener.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: Is he worrying about your next question? You couldn't didn't
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: listen to the answer.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: That's probably true.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: Text are enough evidence now in from the basketball team,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: what early on looked like a team that might be
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: able to gel and be okay, just doesn't have enough
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: offensive power, lockdown defensive players. Perhaps he's playing too many
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: guys and needs to decide who can cut it who can't.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: A few that played a lot can't cut it. And
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: it's now obvious unless huh, you can figure out some things,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a long year. Need more guys
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: to score more to drive it to the rim. So
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: what's what's the date? The summary? So it took us
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: until the no, no, wait, it took us to dissemberate
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: for someone to write one that were just just called
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: him by his last name.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: You know, I I'll give you an unsolicited obvious observation.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, watch this team and you see talented guys.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: I mean not just one guy or two guys. You
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: see multiple talented guys and brand I think to your point,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: it's just what is the rotation? When do they get
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: used to things? I have? I feel like it's going
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: to come together start at some point, right? Or is that?
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: Am I just being.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 3: There is talent? There is guys. Again, there is eight
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: coaches that understand what they're doing and are very good.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 3: It takes it as Ross says it, Well, you're not
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 3: just robots. You don't just go out and plug it
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: in and get to produce the exact stats that you've
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: produced other times, it is a work in progress. That's
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 3: the only the only way you can keep describing. It's
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: a work in progress all the way around, trying to
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 3: figure out the system, trying to figure out each other.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: And then, oh, by the way, the opponents as well. Right,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: that's that matters too, Wake for it. Wake Forest did
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: a nice job. They did a nice job in that
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: one niche area that caused West Range and problems.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: I got them a win.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: Here's here's the deal. They're going to get better as
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: the season goes on. What's their ceiling? I don't know yet.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know how good they can be. You know, Saturday,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: it's Steve Forbes's sixty year at wake Forest. I would
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: hope he would have a team that's built in a program,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: that's built to have like really good players. It's West
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: Virginia's first year. You can't hurry the time reality of it.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: You got to go through it. Text our guys. We
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: couldn't make it down before the game, and you guys
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: were busy with postgames, so we had to settle for
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: a picture of you guys working. The kids. Want to
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: meet the famous three guys from the podcast we listened
• 1:05:48

• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: to notre dame in their fans. I say payback is
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: hell for being over ranked in the polls, pampered by
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: the media, receiving bold invites you don't deserve, getting the
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: benefit of controversial calls, and having it entitled and sometimes
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: arrogant fan bases. Brad would say, I don't feel sorry
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: for them. No one feels sorry for us when bad
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: things happen to us. Signed Doctor Jeff and Charleston ps
