• 0:56
  Speaker 1: for the visitors.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Wasn't sure they were going to get to ten in
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: the second half. Therefore, I was a heck of a
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: defensive effort, a bit.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Of a struggle. Busy week for the Mountaineers. They go
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: again on Wednesday and then on Saturday. Plus we got

  Speaker 1: Conley's CPA Group providing value beyond numbers.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: By the way, I like it.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: I like it when coaches in basketball called timeouts, not
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: not after the other team does a big run, but
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: when they see something that just horrifies them.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: What does that mean?
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Which coach Hodgson in the first half there was something happened.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: I figure tell me the circumstances like time out, time out,
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: and he saw something he didn't like. Even though West
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Virginia was going to be in command of the game. Yeah,
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: you got the young man aside and discussion with him.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: What he didn't like is called no defense.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Those two straight lapses. He said, all right, that's enough.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they called it. I like that. Yeah. Yeah.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Interesting.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Otherwise, uh, pretty stout defensive effort.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: There, seventy to thirty eight. I'm sure someone's dug into this.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I probably should have dug in it was the last
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: time a team scored sixteen or fewer.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I looked at the thirty eight.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: You got to go back to twenty seventeen to find
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: the last time a team scored that fewer points against
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: West Virginia Coppin State. Interestingly, Western his next opponent was
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: the last one to be held to thirty eight points
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: in the coliseum.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, it was a weekend where we were digging into
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the record books football wise. I was watching the football
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I was watching the football games Saturday night, and I
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: saw the lower third go through on the West Virginia
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: score and it said worst loss since eighteen ninety one?
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: What really?
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Is that right? Margin? Yeah? Eighteen ninety one, fifth
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: worst loss of all time. You got that one Michigan
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: game there remember when Fielding used to beat US one
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: hundred and something to Yeah.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: If Miami probably rolled up a big number one time.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they were in the at that time. They had
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: any Testaverdi and all that gang. Yeah, eighty six game.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I believe that was Irvin, Michael Irvin. Yeah, pretty good players.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: So Texas Tech was as advertising. I mean, that's I know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: hop he's got a couple observations. I'll give you a
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: few stats. Although it's not necessarily, it was just I
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: think that was the overall theme of the day. Tech
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: was as at that's a really good that's a national
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: championship type of team.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: They'll they'll be in the hunt.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I would think, hey, producer, Jake, let's do this. As
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: we get into Hoppies Obvious Observations. Last time out, I
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: asked for an animated graphic of what we could use
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: when Hoppy's his observation song is on several candidates, you guys,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: go ahead and make the make the call. Uh these
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: people selected. So there's one just Hoppies obvious observation. It's
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: a very very you know, very professional. Look you got
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: that one, or you could go to this one, which
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: happens to be my favorite Hoppy Kerchie of Ole, Captain Obvious, Gollo, No,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: it looks like quirky to clowna er, some kind of
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: a sailor hat. Yeah, And then just another Hoppy's obvious observations.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: And then there was one more Hoppy with with a
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: cold beer. Which one you guys want to go? You
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: like this one?
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure. The face looks a ton like Hoppy.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: But where do you go want to go with it?
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Hop Did you like the captain's hat?
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: I like the fact the last one gave me a
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: lot of hair, which I appreciate. The captain's hat, I
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: mean corky the clown look, but but probably appropriate.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Captain obvious, Jake, could you please put the one back
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: up there? He's got some kind of a sailor suit
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: on or something like that.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Segment has gone from just nothing to there's a lot
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: of production.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Please time bomb ready.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Heaven know who's.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Take it quick?
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Don't let that bladder blow go? Obviousvation had ladies and
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: gentlemen here he is Captain Obvious with his obvious observations
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: What do you say You've played a really good team
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: that performed at a high level, and your season long deficiencies,
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Brad were exposed once again by a good team. Better
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: than a good team, a very good team. Uh they
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: have a really good defense, you got You talked about
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: that going in in the matchup of West Virginia's offensive
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: line against their defensive line. That defensive front is clearly
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: the best West Virginia's faced all year, and it became
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: evident in the first couple of series like, uh oh,
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: this is gonna be a problem, and it was all day.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: So that's the game. I'll move on from the game.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: You ended the season with four victories. W Vegas had
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: West Virginia five and a half wins, so without significant injuries,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: you probably would have gotten to five. I think. Uh So,
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: the season was about what was if you were If
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: you're an objective.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Observer, Objective is the keyword here.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Objective is the key The season was about what you
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: could reasonably expect as an objective observer. I don't think
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: you could have expected a lot more. Rich Rodriguez said
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: after the game, and I thought that's what the story
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: to me was what Rich said after the game. I've
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: done this long enough. I know our problems, I know
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: how to fix our problems, and it's painful to do,
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: but we'll do it. I'll fix our problems. Some of
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: them can be fixed pretty quickly. Some of them may
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: take a little time, but I know what they are.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: And he kept coming back to this theme as soon
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: as he said to the press, as soon as I
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: leave you fantastic people, I'm going to go recruiting. That
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: to me, guys, that's the story that rich Rod. He's
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: been a head coach for twenty eight years. He's been
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: in football all his life. He's won games, he's lost games.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: He has been hired, he's been fired. He's hired coaches,
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: he's fired coaches. I have no doubt he knows what
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: the issues are after this long season, Now go fix it,
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: and he seems determined to do that. I think that's
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: that's what the story is.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he had a walk down the hall just to
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: go recruiting. There's sixteen at sixteen visits this weekend, plus
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: we're bringing guys in during the last past week. So yeah,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: they were getting their last surge in there.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: So that's I don't get I didn't get real flipped
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: out about the season, you know, I Mean we saw
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: a pretty early what it was going to be we
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: were pleasantly surprised when they showed you more effort after
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: a kind of a bad mid season low and so, okay, whatever,
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: I would not be surprised. And if there weren't a
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: coaching change or two on his staff, I don't have any.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: I'm not trying to be flippant here and say I
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: know what's gonna happen. I don't know that. I'm not
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: predicting that. I just wouldn't be surprised because he said, look,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: he's not satisfied with the season. Everything is being reviewed everything, everybody, everything,
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: So you wouldn't be surprised.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: No, I mean, if there's the reality of it is
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: there's over twenty coaches on the staff, So just by
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: human just by normally, whether you just went undefeated or
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: whether you just lost every single game, there's going to
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: be change. That's the given. That's the given. There's going
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: to be changed.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: Here's another note. I was thinking about this, and this
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: is gonna come. People are going to say you're making
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: excuses or but as my late mother used to say,
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: misery loves company. You know, Baylor and Kansas finished with
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: five wins. The fans there should be more bummed out
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: than West Virginia fans.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: That Kansas thing is interesting, isn't it. Well, they've put
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: a ton of resources into the stadium to their nil.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: They thought they had the golden goose there in Lance Lightphold.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: They thought they were off and running, and that has
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: been a really disappointing program.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: For two straight years now.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's anybody over there that thought this
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: season was going to result in a non Bowl season
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: for them, So that they've got some Listen, they did
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: a great job getting it back from where that can't
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: sparger movie.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: There's no question.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: But now again this is just in it is hard
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: to take the next step.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: And like you said, stadium Lance Lighthold, Lance Lighthold in
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: his fifth year, sixth year starting quarterback.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Ye is there this is our year again significant nil
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: resources being pushed in that that we've got the coaching
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: staff and two straight non bowl seasons with that same quarterback. Yeah,
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: I agree, that's there's got to be some Angston Laura,
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: I would think so that that's not.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: To say, well, they hadn't been a year two. It's
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: just to say, as you said, it is hard.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Kansas State, Kansas.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: State thrilled in Manhattan for a preseason Big twelve favorite.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I would I would say even to a degree,
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Iowa State. I mean they won eight games, but even
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: then might be well, I thought we were going to
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: be in the win the league, you know, So that's
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: it's tough out there.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: It's tough out there, right, Yes, I mean, if you
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: if you had to say at the start of the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: season realistically, which team should do poorly, you would say
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: West Virginia and UCF because they both made coaching changes.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma States its own animal because Gundy, right, and the
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: firing that took place so early, So you get that one.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Colorado they lose a Heisman, they lose an NFL quarterback,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: so to speak, and they go down there. They're three
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: and nine. That's not where they should be either if
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: everything was built properly. And then as you said, Baylor
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: goes five and seven, Kansas goes five and seven. Cincinnati
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: had an improved year, but then they got really cold
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: at the end. They finished seven and five and five
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: and four in the league. And then after that it's
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: TCU at eight and four, five and four, and as
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: you guys said, k State, and he's taken a ton
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: of criticism. He broke down two games ago postgame, just
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: kind of threw his hands up and said like, hey,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: we got injuries, we got stuff going on here like
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: B B and so yeah, you could you could make
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: a case for why this happened. However, however, next year
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: is next year. Well that makes this coming season so important.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: And I'm coming to that. Okay, I stand by the
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: fact that this was year zero.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I don't buy that. For Rich Rodriguez, this was year one.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: It was remarkable, remarkable story brad in the return of
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: Rich Rodriguez. But think remember this this time last year.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: In fact, on this day, one year ago, Neil Brown
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: was fired December first one, really December one. Okay, so
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: one year ago today, West Virginia didn't have a coach
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: and did not have a coach until two weeks later
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: when Rich Rodriquez was hired. After high school recruiting was
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: done and for the most part, for much of the
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: portal was done. So he got a late he got
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: a late start, and that's not I don't think that's
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: an excuse, but I think that's an accurate observation of
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: what he came into.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: I agree, Okay, So I.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: Still say it's it's year zero. Now you do expect
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: more next year? What is that? We'll talk about that
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: a lot before the year, before the season gets here.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: So he says he knows what the problems are. He
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: says he knows how to fix him. Some will take
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: longer than others, but he'll get it done. He's paid
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: to get it done.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: So we'll see.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: But you put a rap on your zero and move
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: on on the basketball team. I'll leave most of that
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: to you. I'll say that coming off a really tough,
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: disappointing losses in Charleston, it's nice to come back home
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: and just you know, beat the leather off somebody, just
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: and beat the tar out of somebody. And that's what
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: they did. So that was that was That was a
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: good healthy game for West Virginia.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely was.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: And that's what I got. Okay, well, wait, that means
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I have to do this.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: I got no more in basketball. I mean, I'll leave
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: that to you guys, but I.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Well, that was something there. He is captain obvious. You

  Speaker 3: can tell that's parody. Think I'm not sure they'd be confused. Oh,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: look at hoppy service there, service forty years also is
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: a distinguished military career.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: I don't I mean, I don't think that would happen.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Hoppy was an admiral. Well, that's admirable of you too.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Well, that's that is a fair point on your part
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: that no one would confuse me with a somebody who
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: accomplished military service. I would just like to not have
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: stolen valor and just have it be more generic.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: So I'm saying, okay, fine, do anything. We can't do
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: anything anymore, I mean nothing at all. Three guys brought
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: to us by lou Wendel Marine Sales. You walk in
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: there and see if they have the uniform that Hoppy
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: was wearing. I do know this. They've got the avalon
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: pontoon boats, which are made one in the United States
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: of America, made right here in the state of Michigan,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: and long time and then the new designation for Lou Wendell,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: that Honda Premium Dealership designation, the only one in the state.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: And they've got that three hundred horse power McLaren engine.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Now it just goes, goes. It could take Captain Obvious
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: over here right down the Old River really quick. So
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: check out lou Wendell Marine Sales at lou Wendel Marine
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Sales dot com, or if you'd like to stop by,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: they'd love to see you. Located in Saint Albans. Okay,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: so we're clean on that clean.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: Before we go spreads on sets. Let's have a let's
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: have a college football discussion for a second. Oh this
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: is a wild, beautiful sport, isn't it. It's just unbelievably nuts,
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: just absolutely nuts in a couple of ways. And it
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: continues to be driven by hope, hoppy And that's what
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: that's what you're saying. You go through the year West
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Virginia did, and how quick, so much time spent, not
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: just us but the fan base looking forward to the
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: season and talking about the season hypotheticals and all our
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: ridiculous over unders that we talk about, and we dive
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: into the numbers and we go through all this and
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: then we just quickly. I played a game. All right,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: move on, now's recruiting season. We just move on to
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: recruiting season, right, and like okay, can't wait? Okay, who
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: got here? Guys are flipping, rumors of flips going on
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: all over the place. College football fans are unlike any
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: other in the college sports ecosystem, which is weird in
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: and of itself. Football is a whole separate animal. You
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: have Rick Patino, of all guys, coming out this week
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: of all the chaos Patino has been involved in, and
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: he's coming out hammering college football, saying what exactly are
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: we doing out here as a sport when just stop
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: for a minute and say it out loud with this
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin mess. And we're not an old miss podcast,
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: so we're not gonna dwell on this, but I do
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: think it's worth noting what Patino said. And he's right,
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: he goes it's like all of a sudden, we have
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: a great basketball season and I up and leave before
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: March happens. Right, that wouldn't happen, Right, doesn't happen. But
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: in college football we just accept this. The SEC hired
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: like thirty seven new head coaches yesterday, Right, Lane Kiffin
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: is leaving an historic season. At ole Miss goes to
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: the airport and there's hundreds, if not thousands of people
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: there flipping them off, screaming fu just utter chaos at
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: the airport. Right there's still games being played.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: What are we doing? So what it says, what is happening?
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: So what it says to what it says is he
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: does not truly think his team can win the national championship,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: so he's walking. But he made his pitch, He made
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: his pitch to stay, and they went like, no, we're
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: not doing that. But it is so all of that.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, even if he doesn't think they can win,
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: it the fact that you have to make a decision
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: to leave your team when that's coming. And I don't
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know that I blame ole Miss either for
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: not keeping him around to coach.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: That's weird too.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: You've decided to leave us and go to a conference rival,
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: but now we're going to leave you here. But now
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: the staff is gutted to some extent. What chances do
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: they have? Will they get into the playoff? Will the
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Goofy committee go, oh well, not the same left Florida
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: State out because you didn't have your cord that just
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: that process is weird.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: What are we talking about?
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: No other sport does that. The NFL doesn't go well,
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: So and so's injured, they're going to be out of
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: the playoffs this year. It is just such a bizarre
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: it is ecosystem that we live in. And then you've
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: got so think of LSU for a second. You're paying
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Brian Kelly fifty three million to not come to the office,
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: and now you have agreed to pay Lane Kiffin's playoff
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: bonuses from ole Miss even though he's not coaching that team.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Did you see that report?
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: I didn't see that.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: LSU is gonna pay for ole Miss's success in the
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: playoffs if that comes.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Did they add that governor about that yet? Did they
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: add the governor? Did the governor that ain't gonna make
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: no bad deal no more? But that big number looked
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: like it going to Lane.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Shouldn't you probably forfeit your playoff performance bonus if you're
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: not coaching in the playoffs. Well, but yet LSU says, okay, yeah,
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: we'll pay you that too, And everybody screams about not
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: having any money and that you're paying a guy who's
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: not even coaching it's not your team. LSU is going
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: to pay a bonus for Mississippi winning a game. Just
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: stop there, full stop?
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: How weird? Is that unbelievable?
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: And all congratulations, O miss just won a game here,
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: like if it will pay you, you're our head coach,
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: will pay you for all miss and all.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: And for about five days, it was just what's len
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: Kiffin gonna do? What's he gonna do, what's he gonna do,
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: what's he gonna do?
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: What's he gonna do? What's he gonna do?
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: I mean, once once he didn't say he was staying
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: at Ole Miss, didn't just say I'm staying at Old Miss.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: And once he was out of floor, like you know
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: what's gonna happen? It was working out the detail.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: And just that that guy just utter chaos follows him.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: Remember when he left Tennessee. That's a while ago now
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: and there's been some image rehab, but the same thing
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: happened to him at Tennessee. He almost couldn't get out
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: of that conference room when he announced he was leaving Tennessee,
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: people screaming fu and middle finger. It just it is
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: just so we don't need to dwell on it. That
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: should have gone onto your captain obvious segments there. I'm
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: not breaking any new ground there. I just again, I've
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: been around this my whole professional life, and I'm still
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: baffled by the sport of college football. Outside the lines,
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: we always say, and that's what that's what makes it
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: so compelling, is all of this chaos and weirdness that
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: goes on then in other walks of life wouldn't necessarily happen.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: And then you're just drawn back in because the drama
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: of the action on the field is just so good, right,
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: and the playoffs are going to start, and however weird
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: it gets by, who gets in and who doesn't get in,
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: and the debates of who should be in or not.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: That stuff's going to start and we're going to be
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: glued to it because we love the actual game action.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Remarkable sport.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: What's quite remarkable is this, Supposedly the smartest people in
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: our country are university presidents. Right, They're the ones that
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: are running this, They're the ones that are making the rules.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: And it couldn't be any worse than it is. Now,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: what does that say? Now you've got honorary doctorates from
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: a bunch of colleges. I mean you would think, I mean,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: you shoulder up with these people. You would think at
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: some point the highest level of presidents would say, no,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: this is exactly how this is going to work, and
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: it does not happen.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: Do you think the president of LSU go to the
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: athletic director and say, listen, for the greater good of
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: our university, just wait until all this is over, then
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: we'll hire a coach. Do you think he could do that.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: I think LSU could have maybe said we are not
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: paying our football coach if another school wins a game.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think Lane Kiffin was probably still going
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: to take the LSU job. But if you tell Jimmy Sex,
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: then no, get that clause out of there. We're not
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: paying that, and I get it.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Listen.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: We don't have to get into the politics of why
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: these deals get done like they do.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's all based upon the recruiting.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: We know how it works and we know how it goes.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: But that seemed to be one that I would think
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: LSU could have said no to this, but they're paying.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: LSU is paying one of its employees if Ole Miss
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: wins a playoff game.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: And Mark Stoops will receive thirty seven million dollars. Also
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: for not coaching. They whacked him thirty seven million. He
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: puts him in the top five of buyouts.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: The other side of that is as all that chaos
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: goes on and bowl games come up, Look this West
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Virginia team, if somehow they had scratched out a bowl game,
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: you'd go, well, it's kind of amazing they did it.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Almost I think there's a sense of kind of relief,
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: like it's over, it's over, get started on what's next.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: Recruct and don't worry about bowl game, don't worry about
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: who you're not hiring a new head coach, I mean,
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: get busy.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: And so that's where I go back to where I started,
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: as this little diatribe is about hope, and the whole
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: thing's built on hope. Like that, that's why you're moving
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: on from coaching. Is Kentucky gonna be demonstrably better next
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: year because Mark Stoops isn't there? And then factor in
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: that you just have to give him thirty seven million.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: Are they going to suddenly win eleven next year? Your
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: chances are no, Right, it's unlikely that that happens. But
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: they also can't continue with Mark Stoops has been there.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Whatever he's been thirteen years and you've done probably all
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: you can do. If you're Mark Stoops, you can't take
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: it to the next level. So they need to have
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: some hope and need to continue the fundraising part of
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: what they do and get off under it. So they
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: bring a new coach in, regardless of who that is
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: and who's left at this point. If you're Kentucky, but
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: you're gonna go out and you're doing that for hope,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: and Arkansas feels it has hope with Ryan Silverfield, and
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: then alexash is going to wherever the hell he's going.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: I can't even keep track of who's going where.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: But for every one of those fan bases thinks that
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: even if they don't think they have the next great coach,
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: they've just reset the hope meter. And that's what all
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: of this is about. It's about resetting the hope meter
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: across college.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: But for every you're right, but for every school that
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: just reset the hope meter, another school was saying, some
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: of them, we had to go on here at North
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: Texas had a good guy. Now we got to go
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: find a new head coach or a tu Lane or
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: you know, fifteen to twenty other places they got to.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: Start over once. Do you think Penn State wants to
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: make a hire? Are they just going to go like
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: arm or I mean, do they know they have an opening?
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: They had to fire their guy, like back in July
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: or whenever they fired hit, they had to fire their guy.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: I could not wait on James Franklin got to make
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: a change, and they're sitting out there. Everybody's hired two
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: coaches since they have made a hire Penn State.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: No, they haven't opening.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Some coaches have been hired and fired paging Penn State.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: That's a good point, that's a good art we're doing.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: James Franklin's been on the job at Virginia Tech for
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: two months.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Penn Saint still doesn't have a coach.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Ext for allowing me sec I think you make some
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: valid points about all that. Yeah, it's as crazy as
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: it's ever been. It's never been this zany No.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Don't give I don't have and I don't want to
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: sit and just complain and rail and then not have
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: good answers. But at some point, man, you've got to
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: try and work on this calendar. And I know there's
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: not an easy answer. I would think you've already been there,
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: but the calendar is just an abject disaster, Just an
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: abject disaster.
• 25:36

  Speaker 1: they take care of three guys before the game. This
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: massive media empire that we've built, we just.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: Show up with a bunch of receipts.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Receipts figured it out.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: We're probably not that big because when we walk in,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: they just get a number two pencil rather than even
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: taking the computer out of it. What do you guys have? Okay, fine,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: here's what it is? All right? What are we doing here?
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: A couple notes not we're not dwelling on this because
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: it's Hope season. Hoppy, so we're not gonna dwell on he.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Just however, there's only one Hope Coliseum. Just remember that.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll go back.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Let's look at a couple of things we said on
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: Wednesday's preview show, just see how those turned out.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Hopy.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: I went through all those national rankings of that Tech defense,
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: just talk about how dominant they've been, and the one
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: really that jumped out the most to me, Texas Tech
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: was number one nationally and available yards for opposing offenses
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: coming in, they were allowing their opponents to gain just
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: twenty eight percent of yards that were available, which is
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: this numblieable number. West Virginia's offense really struggled Saturday to
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: get anything going couldn't throw it well, couldn't run it well,
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: but yet game thirty one percent of available yards. And
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: what jumped out to me with that is that's how
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: dominant Tech has been. Like, if you just watched that game,
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: you would not have guessed that West Virginia was over
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: that twenty eight right. If I would have said you
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: over under twenty eight percent of yards, you was said under, Yeah,
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Western couldn't move it. That's how dominant that Tech defense
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: has been. That West Virginia struggled as mightily as it
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: did and yet still got above number one of the
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: other ones we talked about number twenty three nationally and
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: third down success that played out. West Virginia was just
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: twenty four percent on third downs, ninth percentile nationally. Coming
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: out of that game, third down distance to go Tech
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: held teams to seven point four yards, that was top
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: thirty nationally. West Virginia averaged seven point three yards on
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: late down, So you saw why West Virginia struggled offensively.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: We talked about Westernian's ability to hold up front was
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: going to be the whole part of the game. If
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Westervirdinia was going to hang around, it had to have
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: some semblance of protection. Up front, we mentioned how that
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: was going to be difficult. Tech came in in the
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: ninety ninth percentile in havoc percentage. We talked about Tech
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: facing an average of only twenty eight run plays per game,
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: seventh nationally and thirty nine pass plays, and that's part
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: of where the havoc would come from. They get ahead,
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: you got to throw the ball. They could pin their
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: ears back with their front four and come get you.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: How did those all play out? West Virginia or excuse me,
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Texas Tech against West Virginia created havoc on twenty four
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: percent of West Virginia's offensive plays. That put Tech in
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: the ninety fifth percentile, so actually slightly down from where
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: it had been on the season, but still a big number.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Texas Tech faced just twenty two rush plays and thirty
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: two pass attempts, so that played out exactly as we
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: thought it would. West Virginia had to go to the
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: air a lot more. This may surprise you, Hoppy, West
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: Virginia actually created more havoc plays during that game than
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: Tech did what eighteen to thirteen. Now, percentage wise, it
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: was as much because Tech ran more plays, but West
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Virginia created eighteen havoc plays in that particular game. Another
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: indication of how dominant Texas Tech has been. It gave
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: up zero points to West Virginia. You mentioned how it's
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: the largest margin of defeat in over a century. They
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: held West Virginia to a twenty two percent success rate offensively,
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: which is in the zero percentile category not good. And
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: yet that was its second lowest defensive grade of the
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: season per PFF. Zero points, a zero percentile success rate
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: for West Virginia, and it was the second worst defensive
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: grade they've got this season. They've just been utterly dominant.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: It's been a historic season for that Texas Tech defense.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: That's really it for football. You could go deeper, there's
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: no reason too. It's just time to move on from
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: that game.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: You know what you saw repeatedly, and Tony, when you knew,
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: you found out, you knew very quickly you were going
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: to have time to draw back and pass. You can't
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: pass downfield, so what do you do?
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Throw out?
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: Throw out to the flat, left and right, and even
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: those plays where you're supposed to get blocks from receivers,
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: Texas Tech was all over you. I mean, they just
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: have guys, they're just like there, and you did not
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: giving guys a chance to make a play.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: They were just really really good. Yeah, we talked about that.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Wins that help.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: Really the way to beat them the way Arizona State did.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: They just hit a couple of plays downfield on fifty
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: to fifty balls because they're going to smother you up
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: top and tell you go ahead, try and beat us
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: on the back end. We don't think you can because
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: we're gonna get pressure on you before you have a
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: chance to throw it out. The only way to go
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: against them, it seems, is to throw it up downfield
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: and hope you make a couple of those plays.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: In West Virginia couldn't.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: So, at least on paper. This is this Saturday's game
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: between Texas Tech and BYU for the Big twelve Championship.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: They've already played Texas Tech disposed of them. Will anything
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: change Probably not.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Give me Tech. I'm anxious to see what they can
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: do in the playoff. I think that's a really good team.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: And if you look at some of those metrics that
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: usually forecast who the national champion is going to be,
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: Tech is in that small select group of four to
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: six teams that it fits some of those numbers. I
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: think they have a legitimate chance here.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: I spoke with one of the Texas tech folks who's
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: been there for a number of years before Saturday's game,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: and they have a lot of similarity fan base wise
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: to West Virginia in that they've had some heartbreak through
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: the years. They've had some that have been just taken
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: right from them at the moment that it was there
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: that they could touch it. And he told me, he goes, like,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: this is so un chartered territory for us, Like I'm nervous,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: is hacked? Like sure he had imposter syndrome. Yeah, right,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Like we don't desert like looking exactly like he literally said,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: like like we're just looking around, like is this gonna end?
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Because we've gotten this closed before and you get slammed down.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: He goes, I'm no uncomfortable. I get it.
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: Welcome to our world, right, I get it. Yeah, But
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what they But we've seen a lot
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: of teams in a lot of games. They got a chance.
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: I don't think they got a chance to win at all.
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, Ohio State to me is just better than everybody.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: But they got a chance to do a little bit.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Man, do something.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: The ball right there.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: Man, you bring those you bring those dudes up front
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: to the table. They are going to be right there.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, they're gonna be right there. I know Michigan
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: supposedly has a pretty good defense. I don't know that
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: Ohio State seeing it looks like Texas text defensive front.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: And we'll see if those two meet up in Texas
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: and yeah, Ohio State lace fifty six on them, I'll
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: eat my words. But that that's a that's a quality
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: team there.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: And at this point, you just got to now that
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: they're away from us, is root for the league in
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, big needs good pr Like the worst thing
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: that could happen is they get bumped early and people
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: go like, what was that? That was your champion? What
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: are we doing here? So you need you need them
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: to run. We play there again next year in Lubbock.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: I might get a little opportunity just kind of skipping
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: for a year or so. But now out to Lubbock
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: next year.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: I did get I got a little ruffled there during
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: the game when it brought in Rodriguez. He ran for
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: a touchdown and then he brought him into and he
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: threw the past, and I thought, don't you come.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: In here and have that guy throwing.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: I got a little worked up about that. Then I
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: I thought, now now you're just now you're throwing it.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? What are you doing?
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: And then I backed off and I thought, no, it's
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: our it's West Virginia's job to stop what they're doing.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Ben Cutter did, and Ben Cutter did on that play,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: mister Ryan T. Ben Cutter, Yeah, fake punt was a
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: little something though, so apparently we're gonna say it was
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: a read and the punter took off on his own. Okay,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, it's total bull crap.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: I think that's when you just file away.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just think, yeah, that rich one.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: Like I'm I normally I normally side on the the
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: scoring or do you keep throwing on? That's your job?
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Your job is that?
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: That rarely ruffles me. Fake punts maybe you're kind of
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: in a different category.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure you, but they are. They just is
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: that all?
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: Like you say, it's a reed and it was a
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: coverage and it was open and it was there and
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: it was taken and fine, I mean again, fine, it
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: is ultimately your job to stop them. If you're ever
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: in a position the other way, they'll go ahead and
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: just rewind the tape.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: That's that's all.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's how that's how you ratify that. That's
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: all you can do. They're laying it to you. That's
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: part of the deal, so so be it. And people
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: and on the back front, put.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: It on your play sheet.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: And if you ever have an opportunity again, go ahead.
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: And teams are looking for some style points too, that's fine.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: People don't give you a hand up when you're on
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: your back.
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: Nobody helps, nobody helps you.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: So just not helping anybody else up. Agreed, When the
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: tides turn, you're not helping anybody else up.
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: Well turn the tide.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: That's good, the tide. It goes back to the old
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: thing when Stevie Slayton and Pat White running all over Maryland.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: He didn't help them up. No, go ahead, putting all
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: divine in there.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: He was a move on. You know, he's just gonna
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: laugh at at hall.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: One of these days. One of these days the table
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: will be turned. West Virginia will score late touchdown games
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: over they'll go for two. After the game, reporter will ask,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: why do you go for the two because I couldn't
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: go for three. That's what you gotta come back on.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Side kick.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Coming up. West Virginia's basketball team now six and two
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: after a seventy to thirty eight victory over Mercyhurst. Three
• 37:36

• 38:16
  Speaker 1: for you. Jan Dill's Attorneys at Loss started here in
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Parkersburg and now doing business in all fifty states. All right,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: let's do a little basketball now. The fighting Ross Hodges
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: with a seventy thirty eight victory over the Mercy hearsts
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: a couple notes.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: We talked about how historic that defensive performance was, So
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: let's niche this down to a couple stats, and then
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: we'll talk about some individuals, because there's a bunch of
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: individuals performances that I thought were really good last night.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Live ball turnovers, Hopy, you hear me talking about this
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: a lot. I will all season with a Ross Hodge
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: coach team Westerton created ten of those yesterday. Out of
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: what tony fifteen total turnovers they had the half team fourteen,
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: so ten of the fifteen were live ball turnovers. So
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: that's part step one, Part A. You got to create
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: the live ball turnovers, hop and then when WESTERNI has
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: been doing that at an elite level, somewhere in the
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: top in the eighty fifth percentality seventh percentile nationally, the
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: second part of that is then you need to convert
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: those into buckets. That's where West Virginia had been lagging
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: just a tad behind compared to how many they were creating.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: Excuse me, yesterday, turn those ten into one point seven
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: points per possession, which was in the eighty fifth percentile.
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: So you created and then turned them in and that's
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: really important that's a number we'll watch all season hot
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: because west Virni's offenses, we know is patient and can
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: at times end in what seems to be an ugly possession. Right,
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: So you want to find some chances to get some space,
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: let your guys work. You've been very good from three
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: in those live ball turnover situations, so keep an eye
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: on that. That's a stat we'll watch. But one point
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: seven points per possession off those that's a really high
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: number and part of the reason why you had no
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: trouble with Mercyhurst. Let's get to some individuals chance more.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: Really good game last night, eleven points nine rebounds, got
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: to the basket multiple times, and I thought that was
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: on display. What he gives you a guy that can
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: get the ball and say not messing around here. I'm
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: not gonna try and back anybody down. I'm just driving
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: straight to the rim and I'm gonna hammer this. So
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: eleven points nine rebounds, it's top Trey Eagle staff for
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: a second. I know his offense isn't where some thought
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: it would be at this point, but we've continued to
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: say for a kid that's really trying to elevate his
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: entire game and working really hard on the defensive end.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: Tried to put a number to that. There's some talented
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: statisticians out there putting numbers behind things that normally don't
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: have statistics to them. But let's look at Trey for
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: a second. First of all, a season high for him
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: eight rebounds yesterday nearly led the team save for chances nine,
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: but really good defensive effort, He had deflections, he was
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: on the glass with those eight rebounds. But he is
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: now in the ninety seventh percentile nationally in defensive win share.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: How I used that one before. We find that that
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: estimates a player's contribution to wins based on their defensive
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: performance steals and blocks, but also accounts for contested shots
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: and forced turnovers. So he is, by those metrics in
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: the ninety seventh percentile for defensive win shares. How much
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: he contributes on the defensive end to you getting wins.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: So just thought that was important to point out a
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: number that backs up if you've been watching the games,
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: what you see from Trey that he has come a
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: long way defensively and has been really good as a
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: defender for this Mountaineer team. Another guy, Emir Jenkins, continues
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: to impress the true freshman ten points, three assists, zero
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: turnovers in that game.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: He's now three games nine to zero.
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: He had nineteen to six assists a turnover ratio on
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: the year, and your right tone, he hasn't turned it
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: over in the last three games, so he has not
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: had a turnover since November seventeenth of this year. Thirty
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: one percent assists right, so that means he assists on
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: thirty one percent of West Virginia's made field goals when
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: he's in that's in the ninety fourth percentile nationally. So
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: he's been excellent. Continues to get better. Roll that right
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: into your other point guard, Jasper Floyd. He's in the
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: hundredth one hundredth percentile nationally when it comes to defensive
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: win shares. Wow, okay, that's good. One hundredth percentile there.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: He has a thirty percent assist orate, putting him in
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: the ninety third percentile. So you're getting really solid play
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: from both of your point guards Jasper and Emir so
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: far this season. Talk about Jackson Fields makes his Mountaineer
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: debut yesterday. Had nine points in his first game, three rebounds,
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: two of which were offensive. He had two assists in
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: just twelve minutes of action. So as we've been saying,
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: good to get another big back in their six', nine
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: really Athletic Jackson fields continues to Give Ross hodge some
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: more options along the front line with Now fields And
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: chance more back in this. Lineup that was your seventh
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: different leading scorer last night.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: In just eight.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: Games, Amazing Honor huff is led.
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: Twice other than, that you've had a different leading scorer
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: in each of these games last.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Night.
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: Chance that's so encouraging because how many times in the
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: past where you were thin and you, said, boy If javon,
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: small if he's not, scoring who's going to?
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Score remember we used to say who's going to be
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: the third? Scorer? Yeah all the time we'd, go, okay
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: we know who's these two guys are going to. Score
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: who's gonna be the third? Score?
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah so seven different leading, scores which is pretty's.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: Good so we'll see how that.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: Continues but multiple guys contributing in different, ways AND i
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: do think it's one of those will continue to say
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: this for a while work in, Progress West, virginia and
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: especially now as you continue to mix these guys back
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: in And chance is one thing because he's been practicing
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: and playing with you played in one of the exhibitions
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: and the closed. Scrimmage Jackson field is a whole different.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: Deal he's been out for three months and hasn't been
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: able to practice with that that wrist.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: Injury so getting.
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: Him mixed mixed back in and then everybody else learning
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: how to play with him is still going to take
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: some time and ross frankly figuring out who goes in,
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: win when is IT, dj whin is It, jackson when
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: is it chance off the, bench and how that. Works

  Speaker 1: here we. Go, hey three guys love the. Show, Thankfully
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: football's come to an. END a technical technique question unanswered all.
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: Season Are West virginia's defensive backs ever taught to play the?
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: Ball how many times have we seen them plastered all
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: over the receiver without turning to see that the ball's
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: right there for the taking one of two things HAPPENS
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: pi pass interference or a completion is a lack of, talent,
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: coaching flaw or both doctor ed In North. CAROLINA i
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: take a crack at.
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: That, sure when you're running full speed and trying to
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: keep up with somebody who's maybe running just slightly faster than,
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: you it is really hard to turn your head. AROUND i,
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: mean that's that's what you're taught to, do, Right you
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: turn your head around and you get your arm up
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: first of. All, second Old Steve dunlapp will tell, you
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: if you think the guy's gonna catch the ball and
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: have a big, gain take a.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: Chance you, know you.
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: Better off with a fifteen yard penalty than a fifty
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: yard gain or a. Touchdown so sometimes those interference Plays
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: tony are. Intentional sometimes they're, not, Obviously but THAT'S i
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: think that's harder than it.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: LOOKS i would say, this As rich, said he's gonna
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: review every single nook and cranny of what's going. ON
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: i don't think they Keep i'm sure that somewhere they
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: keep this. STET i would love to know among the
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: sixteen schools Where West virginia finished and pass interference calls
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: got a, LOT a lot a, lot and let's face,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: it something that comes down just basic foot speed and
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: if you're, traveling you're reaching and that's just one of those.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: Deals BUT i thought the you, know a ton of
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: pass interference during the course of the, season.
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: And there's so MANY i watched a lot of games
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: over the weekend and it's so SUBJECT i, Mean i'm
• 53:03

• 53:05
  Speaker 4: a subjective call many.

  Speaker 1: Better but what does that translate, to, right what does
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: that translate? To nothing is, Guaranteed and it's not until
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: you get all conference. Players it's not until you get
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: guys that are at least going to get a tryout
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: in THE, nfl for real tryout for THE, nfl that
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: you'll be up to the level of where you need to.
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: Be plain and simple evaluations just, critical isn't. It we
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: keep talking About Texas tech and all the money they,
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: spent which is a big part of.
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: IT i get.
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: It but they also evaluated really. WELL i think if
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: you look at, this it's a couple of. Things if
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: you want to go back to the hope part of,
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: this we've seen rich enough body of work you feel
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: like that will get. Turned so get that offensive line,
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: fixed then the skill guys are going to follow that
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: offense will will get. Going, Defensively i'm with, You. TONY
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: i think there'll be some upgrades at some, positions probably
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: at all three. Levels but if you look at this season,
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: wise AND i know there were some moments where it
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: looked really, bad but, overall did you see where this
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: defense landed in some, categories especially against the? Run how
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: about this sixteenth nationally an opponent's success rate against.
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: The, run.
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: Sixteenth IN epa per game against the, run twenty first
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: IN epa per play against the. RUN i mean there
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: was some moments, defensively even in year, one where you're
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: not close to where you're going to be player wise
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: and understanding the scheme, wise there were some things to
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: hang your hat on.
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: Defensively there it's the classic, case not as, bad not as,
• 59:34

• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: for year two or one if we're giving a year
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: zero since he got here late last, Year, TEXTER i
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: know everyone said next year will be better now That
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: rich had a year to. Recruit if he only takes
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: fifteen or so, transfers will the problem be that we're
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: too young next? Year, well, no they are going to
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: try to build this thing with high SCHOOL i mean
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: he has said that. Repeatedly they don't think the future
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: is just getting older guys and putting them. Together he's
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: got to build a base and that's what they're going to.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 4: DO i think the, BIGGEST i think the giant question
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: is Will Scotty fox be the quarterback next?
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: YEAR TBA i know it.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 4: Is i'm saying that that's that's a question THAT i
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 4: that will be all off.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: Season, yeah.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: This ONE i didn't agree. With the person SAID I
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: i didn't expect a winning season this, year but we
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: never seemed to get. Better, SEE i. WOULDN'T i wouldn't
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: agree with you. THERE i think this team did get.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: Better although the last game will be the impactful memory
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: that you, have this team did get better as the
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: season went, on won a couple of games, late and you, know,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: yeah you Had Arizona state right there for the. Taking
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: and so, NO i disagree with with that.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: ONE i, Think, YEAH i.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: DON'T i don't know that that's even, debatable especially if
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: you if you could just take it on its face,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: value it got. Better but if you graded on the
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: curve with you when you're going with your fifth with
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: the guy that was fifth on your depth chart at
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: quarterback and your eighth running, back THAT'S i know we've
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: said that a. BUNCH i don't know that we've said that.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: Enough and again for a team that didn't have a
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: big margin for AYER. I it might have been a
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: tough season anyway had everybody stayed, healthy but the fact
