- 2:25Speaker 1: No, that's fine, that's fine. So, like I was going
- 2:28Speaker 1: to ask you, Cam, Like it seems as though every
- 2:31Speaker 1: time your name is mentioned, if it's whether it's West
- 2:35Speaker 1: Virginia or whether it's nationally or whatever, it's just like
- 2:39Speaker 1: your name has now become Cam Cook who led the
- 2:43Speaker 1: nation and rushing last season. Like that's that's like your
- 2:45Speaker 1: whole name, like on your driver's license, Say, Cam Cook
- 2:47Speaker 1: led the nation? Did you notice it? Have you noticed that?
- 2:51Speaker 4: No?
- 2:51Speaker 3: I have.
- 2:51Speaker 4: I mean that's something I really appreciate. I like that.
- 2:54Speaker 4: I mean I worked hard to do that. So I'm
- 2:57Speaker 4: just I'm glad to get the recognition, you know.
- 3:00Speaker 1: You know, here's the deal, dude, And I hope you
- 3:01Speaker 1: do it again this year here, But like that'll still
- 3:04Speaker 1: never go away, Like that's a tattoo, Like no matter what,
- 3:07Speaker 1: like in twenty five years, Like when you're working somewhere,
- 3:10Speaker 1: they're gonna be like Cook who led the nation and rushing.
- 3:13Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, that doesn't go That's a pretty good thing
- 3:16Speaker 2: to stick with you. Something's gonna stick with you. That's
- 3:17Speaker 2: pretty good. Lead the nation in rushing. Yeah, how you been?
- 3:21Speaker 2: This summer is going quick? And like we.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Said, like practice starts, but practice hasn't stopped. Like you
- 3:27Speaker 1: literally we're gonna scoot you out of here, and they're
- 3:29Speaker 1: not too disinfused you because you guys are on the
- 3:31Speaker 1: field coming up again this afternoon. How's this summer been
- 3:35Speaker 1: going for you? Have you enjoyed the work?
- 3:38Speaker 4: Yeah, I've definitely enjoyed it. Definitely different experience. Coach Richard
- 3:43Speaker 4: want to play fast, So we're out like it's the
- 3:46Speaker 4: most condition I've ever done in my life. You feel good,
- 3:50Speaker 4: real but I mean we get through it like as
- 3:53Speaker 4: a team. So just knowing that you got your guys
- 3:56Speaker 4: there with you, it makes that stuff easier.
- 3:58Speaker 1: So how do you know, like right now as we're
- 4:01Speaker 1: sitting here, how do you know you're in great shape
- 4:04Speaker 1: right now? Like what what's your body telling you? Or
- 4:06Speaker 1: what do you what signals do you get to go? Like, Jude,
- 4:08Speaker 1: I'm really good shape.
- 4:10Speaker 4: This is the heaviest I've been, like in my whole
- 4:13Speaker 4: college career. This's the heaviest I've been. And this is
- 4:16Speaker 4: the fastest I've been, Like like I was fast last year.
- 4:20Speaker 4: I was fast like in high school. But like we
- 4:23Speaker 4: have our GPS. We were our gps is every day
- 4:26Speaker 4: for practice, and the speeds that I've put up or
- 4:30Speaker 4: the fastest I've ever gone and then we do trainings
- 4:32Speaker 4: here like something I've never done before. It is called
- 4:36Speaker 4: overspeed training where you they put the it's like you
- 4:40Speaker 4: put a harness on and instead of like you pulling
- 4:43Speaker 4: you like backwards, it's gonna pull you like towards it
- 4:48Speaker 4: to make you run faster. So your body gets used
- 4:51Speaker 4: to like that like that speed.
- 4:54Speaker 1: And so if you don't, you're getting dragged.
- 4:56Speaker 4: It's not gonna drag you there. It bears like three pounds,
- 4:59Speaker 4: like yes, it's barely pulling you, but just that little
- 5:02Speaker 4: bit of a difference can make like you run from
- 5:05Speaker 4: a twenty one to a twenty three.
- 5:08Speaker 1: That's what he was gonna ask.
- 5:09Speaker 2: I was just gonna ask you. Okay, so what was
- 5:10Speaker 2: the mile prior what's what's your top speed?
- 5:12Speaker 4: So my top speed that I've hit so far was
- 5:15Speaker 4: twenty two to six.
- 5:16Speaker 2: That's a nearly twenty three miles an hour.
- 5:18Speaker 1: That's a speeding ticket in most in most.
- 5:20Speaker 2: In a residential neighborhood, ticket speed going through a school zone.
- 5:24Speaker 2: He's got a problem.
- 5:25Speaker 1: You gotta you're gonna get a ticket. Okay, have you
- 5:28Speaker 1: uh so forty time wise, you've been laser timed in
- 5:31Speaker 1: the past.
- 5:32Speaker 4: Yees so I got a laser. I ran a four
- 5:34Speaker 4: four six and then well, I'll say I ran a
- 5:38Speaker 4: four four eight and then I ran a four four six.
- 5:41Speaker 4: But like other combine drugs like my three, my my
- 5:45Speaker 4: five ten five, I ran a three nine eight, which
- 5:48Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure that's like elite, like top speed, change
- 5:52Speaker 4: of direction and I and being a running back, I
- 5:55Speaker 4: do take probably in my change of direction.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good thing for running back to have
- 5:58Speaker 1: a change change. You you said your weight is up
- 6:02Speaker 1: as as big as events. So right now, what are
- 6:04Speaker 1: you waining?
- 6:05Speaker 4: I tried to going at two of three, two, three,
- 6:08Speaker 4: two or four before practice, like, so I can keep
- 6:11Speaker 4: that weight up.
- 6:12Speaker 1: You know, would you play it? Last year at jack State.
- 6:14Speaker 4: It was two hundred. I'll try to wait too a
- 6:17Speaker 4: one before the game.
- 6:20Speaker 1: How big of a difference was it when you got
- 6:22Speaker 1: here with how they run the strength and conditioning in
- 6:25Speaker 1: the program here.
- 6:27Speaker 4: Well, like I said, the conditioning wise is a lot
- 6:31Speaker 4: different strength. I feel like strength of how you lift
- 6:34Speaker 4: is we target more like more areas, like we do
- 6:39Speaker 4: balance stuff Like I go in every day, I'm gonna
- 6:41Speaker 4: do some balance work, I'm gonna do some core work
- 6:44Speaker 4: because that's what you that's like the base of what
- 6:46Speaker 4: you need for to play football. So just I feel
- 6:49Speaker 4: like there's more of a focus on like the certain
- 6:53Speaker 4: specific things, you know.
- 6:54Speaker 1: The whole picture, putting the whole thing together.
- 6:57Speaker 2: Let's let's back up here a little bit and talk
- 6:59Speaker 2: about you. You came out of high school, went to TCU
- 7:01Speaker 2: for your first year. In fact, you played West Virginia
- 7:03Speaker 2: before when you were at TCU, then to jack State,
- 7:06Speaker 2: then of course on to West Virginia. What was it
- 7:08Speaker 2: about West Virginia specifically that when when you entered the portal,
- 7:11Speaker 2: you said, all right, that's where I'm headed. Why was
- 7:13Speaker 2: it West Virginia?
- 7:16Speaker 4: So I said, I definitely looked into like the past
- 7:19Speaker 4: history of how they play, what style they played, because
- 7:23Speaker 4: that was something I didn't look into when I first
- 7:26Speaker 4: got to TCU, like when I was a freshman, and
- 7:29Speaker 4: or when I was in a senior in high school.
- 7:31Speaker 4: Like I wasn't looking for like what kind of play
- 7:33Speaker 4: style fit me, like what was good for me. I
- 7:36Speaker 4: was just this is close to home, Like this is
- 7:39Speaker 4: I could be around my family still and still ball out.
- 7:43Speaker 4: But that I didn't think that's at the end of
- 7:45Speaker 4: the day, I didn't think that that place, that play
- 7:48Speaker 4: style had fit how I wanted to play. So going
- 7:52Speaker 4: into the portal the first time, that's something I looked at.
- 7:54Speaker 4: And you see, I went to jack State and it
- 7:56Speaker 4: definitely fit me. It fit me a lot. And this
- 8:00Speaker 4: is a similar scheme. Just we play fast to run,
- 8:04Speaker 4: want to run the ball, and then uh oh, Coach Trickett,
- 8:09Speaker 4: Coach tricky game.
- 8:11Speaker 2: We're into Coach trick early. I know we get here,
- 8:13Speaker 2: but yeah, so you have said before that that was
- 8:15Speaker 2: a big part of your decision making process was Coach
- 8:17Speaker 2: Trickett was here, So go ahead, continue on that.
- 8:19Speaker 4: So I just say, Coach trick the way he the
- 8:22Speaker 4: way he coached and the way he like was so
- 8:26Speaker 4: hard on our old line, everybody was gonna do their job.
- 8:29Speaker 4: You didn't have to worry about nobody. Like everybody was
- 8:33Speaker 4: gonna go out there and put their best foot for regardless.
- 8:35Speaker 4: They try not to get yelled at like he like
- 8:38Speaker 4: he's going to yell at you. He's gonna yell at me,
- 8:41Speaker 4: like he's gonna yell at everybody there. So you just
- 8:44Speaker 4: you want to do whatever you can to be right
- 8:47Speaker 4: around him. So just that that in that environment that
- 8:51Speaker 4: he instilled and then being like his group of guys
- 8:55Speaker 4: is going to want to love the game. Like when
- 8:58Speaker 4: you around people that love the game, you can't. You
- 9:01Speaker 4: can't be around coach Cricket and I love football. I'll
- 9:03Speaker 4: tell you that. So I mean that just it means
- 9:06Speaker 4: a lot to me. That meant a lot to me
- 9:08Speaker 4: to get me to come here too.
- 9:09Speaker 2: Yeah, So he's a big part of it. So let's
- 9:10Speaker 2: stay stay on that theme because he's got two of
- 9:12Speaker 2: his guys too, of your guys that are here as well,
- 9:15Speaker 2: in Cam Griffin and Bubba Grayson. So tell us what
- 9:17Speaker 2: they bring to the table, what their connection is with you,
- 9:20Speaker 2: and how important they are to your game.
- 9:22Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 9:22Speaker 4: I mean they definitely were some guys that was lean
- 9:26Speaker 4: on last year, Like they they knew what I was
- 9:28Speaker 4: going through and I knew what they were going through.
- 9:30Speaker 4: So just being able to have them here like meant
- 9:34Speaker 4: a lot too. And they bring that like that energy
- 9:38Speaker 4: that we that we had last year, they bring that here,
- 9:41Speaker 4: which like, uh, we got a bunch of dominant guys here,
- 9:47Speaker 4: and so just having like both sides like be able
- 9:52Speaker 4: to like use each other to grow, Like, I think
- 9:55Speaker 4: that means a lot because you got we Like I said,
- 9:58Speaker 4: we were working out different then we work out here
- 10:01Speaker 4: and these guys is working out different than we work
- 10:03Speaker 4: So just being able to like build together like and
- 10:09Speaker 4: show like, oh we were doing this, y'all were doing this.
- 10:11Speaker 4: We can like be great like if we work together
- 10:15Speaker 4: on this. So I think just being able to have
- 10:17Speaker 4: everybody together like that means a lot.
- 10:20Speaker 3: Cam TONI mentioned your numbers, but let me dig deeper
- 10:22Speaker 3: into these numbers. Last year, two hundred ninety five carries
- 10:26Speaker 3: sixteen hundred and fifty nine yards rushing average five point
- 10:28Speaker 3: six yards per carry, sixteen touchdowns, along of seventy three
- 10:32Speaker 3: thirty catches two hundred eighty six yards nine point five
- 10:36Speaker 3: yards per catch. Total yards just under two thousand yards.
- 10:41Speaker 3: Last year, one hundred miss tackles forced, one hundred miss
- 10:46Speaker 3: tackles forced fifty three carries of ten yards or more.
- 10:49Speaker 3: What's the key to breaking tackles?
- 10:55Speaker 4: The key to breaking tackles?
- 10:57Speaker 3: Yes, because I've seen your how like sometimes you run
- 11:01Speaker 3: around people, sometimes you run past them, sometimes you run
- 11:03Speaker 3: through right.
- 11:04Speaker 4: I say, for me, it's setting them up at the
- 11:07Speaker 4: beginning of the play, Like I know I got to
- 11:10Speaker 4: get to a certain point, and if he if the
- 11:13Speaker 4: defender knows where I'm going, I need to be able
- 11:15Speaker 4: to set him up a certain way. And just being
- 11:19Speaker 4: being able to like know where you are, like know
- 11:23Speaker 4: where everybody is on the field. I feel like it's
- 11:28Speaker 4: easy for me to make somebody miss just because if
- 11:32Speaker 4: they think, if they think they know where I'm going
- 11:34Speaker 4: to be at, that's the problem like in itself, Like
- 11:38Speaker 4: if you try to beat me to a spot, Okay,
- 11:40Speaker 4: I'm not going to go to that spot no more,
- 11:42Speaker 4: or I'm gonna do whatever I can. I'm but that
- 11:45Speaker 4: I mean it goes back to like balance, to like
- 11:48Speaker 4: my balance, my core that I that I'm like worked
- 11:51Speaker 4: on that I've been putting in so much like work too,
- 11:55Speaker 4: so being able to like bounce off of his and
- 11:58Speaker 4: stay balanced, start take a hit and not fall down,
- 12:03Speaker 4: put my hand down, keep my eyes up so I
- 12:06Speaker 4: could still look and be able to move around, know
- 12:08Speaker 4: where the next person is. Like it's always about the
- 12:10Speaker 4: next guy can you make You can't be a top
- 12:13Speaker 4: running back or a top any skill player in on offense.
- 12:18Speaker 4: You can't be a top skilled player and D one
- 12:20Speaker 4: football and you can't make the first guy miss. So
- 12:22Speaker 4: that's what I probably on so all.
- 12:24Speaker 2: Right, let's go through that. So happy just said, you
- 12:26Speaker 2: can do all of it. You can run away, you
- 12:27Speaker 2: can run around, you can run through. If you had
- 12:30Speaker 2: to pick one of those, what's more satisfying the runaway,
- 12:34Speaker 2: the run through, or juke? Somebody can only pick one.
- 12:38Speaker 4: I like breaking people down, like I like juking people.
- 12:42Speaker 4: Uh but like I said, I'll do what I have
- 12:46Speaker 4: to do.
- 12:47Speaker 2: Do what you have to do. But you'd pick juke
- 12:48Speaker 2: if you have to.
- 12:50Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 12:50Speaker 1: Yeah, Have you always carried the football when from the
- 12:56Speaker 1: littlest start of the game, you're always the guy that
- 13:00Speaker 1: was going to handle it?
- 13:01Speaker 4: Yeah? About that? So my when I I said, I
- 13:04Speaker 4: started football when I was three years old or three? Yeah,
- 13:08Speaker 4: three years old, Like I was playing like it's called
- 13:11Speaker 4: mighty mite football.
- 13:12Speaker 3: How many carriers were you getting at age three?
- 13:14Speaker 1: He complained about that third three? I need more carries.
- 13:17Speaker 4: Let's get So I think when I first started, like
- 13:20Speaker 4: you know, that's when you're just getting into sports. I
- 13:22Speaker 4: was just getting into baseball, just getting in the football,
- 13:25Speaker 4: just getting in the track. But it was like that
- 13:28Speaker 4: first year you just get thrown out there. So I
- 13:30Speaker 4: got put out on the team. My dad took me
- 13:32Speaker 4: out to the field. He was like, you're gonna play football.
- 13:34Speaker 4: So he took me out. He took me out to
- 13:37Speaker 4: a field. Cool and I was on this team and
- 13:40Speaker 4: I was just standing out there like I wasn't I
- 13:42Speaker 4: wasn't doing nothing. I was just watching everybody move like
- 13:45Speaker 4: I didn't have no friends. I was like, I was
- 13:47Speaker 4: just standing there. So he picked me up and he
- 13:49Speaker 4: walked me off the field. He was like, Okay, I'm
- 13:51Speaker 4: gonna do something about this. So the next year we
- 13:53Speaker 4: came out, he was the head coach.
- 13:58Speaker 1: You read shorted. Then when you were three, your dad
- 14:02Speaker 1: your dad gave you a red shirt. Yeah, brought your
- 14:04Speaker 1: back when you were four, and you started to.
- 14:06Speaker 2: How that God you get it when you were four,
- 14:08Speaker 2: like you jump right in.
- 14:09Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean I think he knew. He knew that
- 14:12Speaker 4: I wanted to like get the ball. He knew I
- 14:15Speaker 4: wanted to be like the main player on the team.
- 14:18Speaker 4: But he didn't like like he would make sure that
- 14:21Speaker 4: everybody was still like getting the ball, Like it wasn't
- 14:24Speaker 4: just like oh, handleball left to cam. But if you
- 14:26Speaker 4: go look, if you go look at my highlights, that's
- 14:28Speaker 4: what it looked like.
- 14:28Speaker 3: It looked like he's just handing it to me and
- 14:30Speaker 3: I'm just we got to get.
- 14:31Speaker 4: Some running off.
- 14:33Speaker 2: Can you send us some of us? Can we get
- 14:34Speaker 2: some four year old.
- 14:36Speaker 1: It's on YouTube. I was going to say, guess what,
- 14:41Speaker 1: it's gonna look a lot like that again there with
- 14:43Speaker 1: Rich Richly Rich and your dad have one thing in common,
- 14:46Speaker 1: like feed the dude that gets me off.
- 14:47Speaker 2: If it works, it's coming back to you.
- 14:49Speaker 1: It's going to come back. So when you watch your
- 14:53Speaker 1: tape from last season compared to when you were a freshman,
- 14:57Speaker 1: do you notice a I'm gonna put you into a
- 15:00Speaker 1: third person here, do you notice a cam Cook that
- 15:04Speaker 1: is smarter today with how what he's understanding of how
- 15:07Speaker 1: to play this game?
- 15:08Speaker 4: Yeah, way way smarter. Like as a freshman, you just
- 15:13Speaker 4: like you're basically still in high school trying to run
- 15:16Speaker 4: the ball, like you think you could run around everybody.
- 15:18Speaker 4: You think you could just go out there and be
- 15:21Speaker 4: better than everybody just off of pure talent, right, But
- 15:25Speaker 4: it's more than that to the game knowing, Like I'll say, now,
- 15:29Speaker 4: I know defenses, I know how like even with pass
- 15:32Speaker 4: per I know how when people where we're out on
- 15:36Speaker 4: the field matters, Like if we're on the hash, I
- 15:38Speaker 4: gotta look at different stuff to who to pick up.
- 15:40Speaker 4: I might have to pick up a corner, like, but
- 15:43Speaker 4: that's not normal, you know. You know, not everybody can
- 15:45Speaker 4: just do that as a freshman. So if you're not
- 15:47Speaker 4: thinking about that, then you're not gonna be able to
- 15:49Speaker 4: do it. And so now I'll say, I'm constantly thinking
- 15:52Speaker 4: about so many things during the play. There's so many things.
- 15:56Speaker 4: If it's if the play gets switched to a pass play,
- 15:59Speaker 4: now there's a whole bunch of things that I need
- 16:01Speaker 4: to look at. So just being able to like break
- 16:04Speaker 4: down the game from the D line to the linebackers
- 16:06Speaker 4: to where the safeties are, like if they're on the hash,
- 16:09Speaker 4: it matters, the corners could come. I mean lot. I
- 16:13Speaker 4: know a lot more now than I did as a freshman.
- 16:15Speaker 1: And I would imagine that at least early in this spring,
- 16:19Speaker 1: until rich told Zach Ally to back it on down,
- 16:22Speaker 1: you were seeing people just constantly flying, right. You probably
- 16:26Speaker 1: learned a ton.
- 16:26Speaker 4: Our defense moves around a lot. It's definitely one of
- 16:29Speaker 4: the most like movement teams I've been around.
- 16:33Speaker 1: You know, So if you were a running back on
- 16:35Speaker 1: the other team getting ready to play West Virginia when
- 16:38Speaker 1: Zach's gonna be able to put all of his cards
- 16:41Speaker 1: out there. What challenges does that present for a running back?
- 16:47Speaker 4: Wait? Am I just gonna? I can't give away?
- 16:49Speaker 1: Like no, no, no, no no no. In a sense, if
- 16:54Speaker 1: I'm a running back and I'm watching film that week
- 16:56Speaker 1: getting ready to play West Virginia, what would make you worry?
- 17:01Speaker 4: I basically really, I say, the movement of the backers,
- 17:04Speaker 4: like you don't know what, like is what they're about
- 17:07Speaker 4: to do. And then our d line does some stuff
- 17:09Speaker 4: too that like how they fit. So I mean that
- 17:13Speaker 4: mixes it up. And then if you're in the boundary,
- 17:16Speaker 4: good look. If you're in the boundary, good look.
- 17:18Speaker 2: Like so it makes your keys more difficult because they're
- 17:21Speaker 2: moving around. Is it as an offensive player, I'm not
- 17:24Speaker 2: quite sure yet. They're not in the same spot right
- 17:26Speaker 2: all right. Conversely, flip that around, then the tempo that
- 17:29Speaker 2: we run offensively kind of neutralizes that, right, That's that's
- 17:33Speaker 2: part of the point. The defense can't get itself moving
- 17:36Speaker 2: all over. It's got a set and get ready to go.
- 17:37Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 17:38Speaker 4: No, we definitely, Like like I said earlier, we probed
- 17:40Speaker 4: on we're gonna he want us to be the most
- 17:43Speaker 4: conditioned team. So we're gonna move the ball fast. We're like,
- 17:47Speaker 4: you need like you need to run the ball in.
- 17:50Speaker 4: That is how it's so important to to like move
- 17:54Speaker 4: the like keep the pace up. You don't want the
- 17:56Speaker 4: defense to get set and like the defense can do
- 17:58Speaker 4: whatever if you like drop the while they could do
- 18:00Speaker 4: stuff to slow y'all down on purpose to catch their breath,
- 18:04Speaker 4: and we want to keep them on they toes the
- 18:06Speaker 4: whole time. So I'd say, like being able to snap
- 18:09Speaker 4: the ball and the the D line is standing, the
- 18:11Speaker 4: D line is standing straight up. That is golden. Like
- 18:15Speaker 4: that is golden. So it means a lot.
- 18:17Speaker 1: Cam's appearance here on three Guys before the game is
- 18:20Speaker 1: presented to us by Daniel's Men's Store of Morgantown. They're
- 18:24Speaker 1: the ones that have the exclusive WUVU apparel and the
- 18:29Speaker 1: really nice stuff, like if we cut the cams apparel today. Yeah, yeah,
- 18:35Speaker 1: he's wearing Peter. He's wearing some smooth Peter Malar right now.
- 18:41Speaker 1: Your boy Michael Hawkins when he was in he also huge,
- 18:44Speaker 1: huge Peter Malar fan. You'd like that. It's just got
- 18:47Speaker 1: a different feel, isn't it nice?
- 18:50Speaker 2: By the way you look and you see how nicely
- 18:51Speaker 2: that is that there's no wrinkles in that.
- 18:53Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 18:54Speaker 2: Part of my shift this morning there I was steaming
- 18:56Speaker 2: out cam shirt for him before brought it over. I
- 18:58Speaker 2: did a Thursday shift today, so Tuesday real quick plug.
- 19:02Speaker 2: He got more, he gets more new stuff. It constantly
- 19:05Speaker 2: comes in. There's there's some new stuff. You gotta check
- 19:07Speaker 2: it Out's also online. You know what's still selling like hotcakes?
- 19:10Speaker 2: What he's still got a few left. There's two different versions.
- 19:13Speaker 2: There's one that's white and navy. There's another one that's
- 19:16Speaker 2: gold and blue with the flying WV lego and the
- 19:19Speaker 2: College World Series patch has a few left, but you
- 19:23Speaker 2: better hurry up there online as well, Daniels and Morgantown.
- 19:26Speaker 3: I'm still trying to find Cam those highlights of you,
- 19:29Speaker 3: but I'm a little bit leary of googling children playing football.
- 19:32Speaker 3: I don't want to get the filtba. But look like
- 19:36Speaker 3: last year in your games, thirty one carries, twenty nine carries,
- 19:41Speaker 3: twenty seven carries, twenty five carries, twenty five carries. Man,
- 19:44Speaker 3: that is a load. How did your body hold up
- 19:48Speaker 3: with almost three hundred carries?
- 19:51Speaker 4: I mean I definitely felt felt the carries but I
- 19:54Speaker 4: mean it didn't mean nothing to me. I think before
- 19:56Speaker 4: the season has started, I had like talk to those
- 19:59Speaker 4: code just they told me what it was going to be.
- 20:01Speaker 4: So I locked in on just making sure my body
- 20:06Speaker 4: was ready for that, making sure I was prepared for that.
- 20:08Speaker 4: So just making sure, I like after every game, stay
- 20:12Speaker 4: in the training room, like stay in there, make sure
- 20:14Speaker 4: I get my body back to one hundred and then.
- 20:18Speaker 4: One thing about what we were doing last year is
- 20:19Speaker 4: we'll come back from the game and we'll run like
- 20:23Speaker 4: we'll run after the game. So huh, maybe not a game,
- 20:27Speaker 4: maybe not the not the day of the game, right
- 20:30Speaker 4: next day, but the next day we'll be out there
- 20:32Speaker 4: running like moving is like nothing happened. Almost so just
- 20:37Speaker 4: for me being able to just like just as long
- 20:41Speaker 4: as I'm still moving, as long as I'm consistently moving,
- 20:43Speaker 4: I'll be okay, like I can.
- 20:45Speaker 3: But how long is how long does it take you
- 20:47Speaker 3: carried the ball thirty times? So and the next day
- 20:49Speaker 3: you're out running whatever? But how long does it take
- 20:52Speaker 3: in that game week for you to feel pretty normal
- 20:55Speaker 3: or do you feel pretty normal very quickly?
- 20:58Speaker 4: I'm probably feeling on Tuesday, you know.
- 21:03Speaker 1: Have you ventured into all of those equipment items they
- 21:09Speaker 1: have here to. I mean that that stuff is to
- 21:12Speaker 1: pun in the using the punch. That's game change and
- 21:15Speaker 1: stuff that'll make you feel like, whoa have you been?
- 21:18Speaker 1: Have you messed with it at all?
- 21:19Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 21:19Speaker 4: I have. We we just got a sauna room in stall.
- 21:23Speaker 4: I feel like we getting new stuff a lot. But
- 21:26Speaker 4: but yeah, we got the sauna. I've tried to cry.
- 21:30Speaker 1: What do you think of the cry You like it?
- 21:32Speaker 1: Don't like?
- 21:32Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 21:32Speaker 4: I like cryo. It's if you don't want to get
- 21:34Speaker 4: in the ice tube. It's something real quick you could do.
- 21:37Speaker 4: But I'd rather just go get in the ice to
- 21:40Speaker 4: and then get in the hot to, then get back
- 21:42Speaker 4: in the ice to.
- 21:42Speaker 1: What about the depth perception thing?
- 21:44Speaker 4: Were they locking the I don't think I've done that
- 21:47Speaker 4: one before.
- 21:47Speaker 1: You got to do that one?
- 21:48Speaker 4: That's something this guy.
- 21:50Speaker 1: These guys say when you do that, that night you
- 21:52Speaker 1: sleep like off the chart like a baby.
- 21:57Speaker 4: What is that?
- 21:57Speaker 3: What is it?
- 21:59Speaker 2: I don't think you don't mean depth perception?
- 22:00Speaker 1: I mean, what the heck is it called? It's called
- 22:02Speaker 1: something perception?
- 22:04Speaker 4: Because I know we had the salt tank, the salt okay, Sultan, Okay,
- 22:08Speaker 4: he's getting the words wrong. Yeah, the sult tank. I've
- 22:11Speaker 4: tried it before. I haven't tried the one here. But
- 22:13Speaker 4: were you just sitting in there and you just float?
- 22:14Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 22:15Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, float tank? Yeah, I should have said float tank.
- 22:17Speaker 1: I don't know what held up perception? Can float tank?
- 22:20Speaker 4: Yeah, I haven't. I haven't done one here, but I've
- 22:23Speaker 4: been in one before.
- 22:24Speaker 2: What about the bed red light?
- 22:25Speaker 4: The red light?
- 22:26Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 22:26Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 22:28Speaker 1: What why not? I don't.
- 22:33Speaker 4: I mean there's no reason, there's no reason I couldn't.
- 22:35Speaker 4: But I mean I feel like if I get in
- 22:36Speaker 4: the it's just like getting in the hot tub for me,
- 22:39Speaker 4: you know, I'll just go get in the tube, or
- 22:41Speaker 4: go get in the or getting in the cryer, like
- 22:45Speaker 4: I'd rather just go get in crying in Uh, the
- 22:48Speaker 4: hot to.
- 22:49Speaker 1: Sensory deprivation, That's what I meant to say. Sensory deprivation
- 22:53Speaker 1: is the salt tank. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go
- 22:55Speaker 1: in salt tank from here on. In just salt tanks.
- 22:58Speaker 4: I mean they put salt, salt, a lot of salt
- 23:01Speaker 4: in it, which makes you flow.
- 23:02Speaker 1: So I just try to.
- 23:05Speaker 3: So I was name drop. I was with strength coaching
- 23:10Speaker 3: Nick Meadows early Weird today and he was talking about
- 23:14Speaker 3: all the stuff they do, and you mentioned the GPS tracking,
- 23:17Speaker 3: So did you have that at Jack State? And what
- 23:21Speaker 3: do you get? Like, what are you getting from that?
- 23:22Speaker 3: I mean he was telling me all this data that
- 23:24Speaker 3: you get that he can get on players during practice
- 23:28Speaker 3: that they use, in fact use it during practice for
- 23:30Speaker 3: maybe load management or something. Do you are you getting
- 23:34Speaker 3: any benefit from that?
- 23:36Speaker 4: Is that ever? For sure? I mean, if you like
- 23:39Speaker 4: at the end of the practice or the next day,
- 23:41Speaker 4: they'll pull up a chart and it shows you when
- 23:44Speaker 4: was the last time you hit your top speed so
- 23:47Speaker 4: or or it'll say a percentage of your top speed.
- 23:50Speaker 4: So like some sometimes it'll say like, oh, this has
- 23:54Speaker 4: been like two days, but it might have been a weekend,
- 23:56Speaker 4: or it'll say three days just Monday. And for like
- 24:00Speaker 4: skill guys, you want to consistently be hitting your top
- 24:03Speaker 4: speed or percentage of your top speed, because if you
- 24:05Speaker 4: want to run fast, you need to consistently run fast.
- 24:08Speaker 4: So it just shows you that, it shows your efforts.
- 24:10Speaker 4: It shows you like how many how much you change direction? Really, yeah,
- 24:14Speaker 4: like anytime you change direction, and it's like an explosive
- 24:19Speaker 4: effort is what it's called. I was trying to think
- 24:21Speaker 4: of the word explosive effort. Anytime you show an explosive effort,
- 24:24Speaker 4: it'll pull up and it'll show that. But it also
- 24:27Speaker 4: attracks how much yards you do. So some guys have
- 24:30Speaker 4: five thousand yards at the end of a practice, some
- 24:33Speaker 4: guys have four thousand yards at the end of a practice,
- 24:35Speaker 4: So you could tell who was doing more, who was
- 24:38Speaker 4: running more. So I mean, does it help you?
- 24:40Speaker 3: Does that day to help you? Or you get overwhelmed
- 24:43Speaker 3: by all the data.
- 24:44Speaker 4: I mean, I definitely pay attention to like something. I'm
- 24:47Speaker 4: definitely gonna look at the top speed. I'm definitely gonna
- 24:50Speaker 4: look at the explosive efforts and how many how many
- 24:53Speaker 4: days it's been since I've ran fast, So I mean
- 24:56Speaker 4: those definitely mean something to me. But the other ones
- 24:59Speaker 4: is definitely a lot lot of numbers on there.
- 25:01Speaker 1: So I think hop with that is actually the strength
- 25:03Speaker 1: staff downloads all the data, right, they form a whole thing,
- 25:07Speaker 1: and then they report that to the coach and go like, hey, coach,
- 25:10Speaker 1: these guys are starting to get a little bit tired
- 25:12Speaker 1: because collectively we're doing this. We're down here, we need
- 25:16Speaker 1: to add this. They're not. So that's they're going to
- 25:18Speaker 1: the coaches and that's how they're adjusting practice based on
- 25:20Speaker 1: the data.
- 25:21Speaker 2: But Cam's pretty in tune with that. I mean, if
- 25:23Speaker 2: you're listening here, I mean you're you're pretty on in
- 25:25Speaker 2: tune with with some of this stuff.
- 25:26Speaker 4: Yeah. I also forgot to say about the heart rate.
- 25:30Speaker 4: They can check your heart rate, see like who's actually
- 25:34Speaker 4: working hard? Like you could be running if we're running
- 25:37Speaker 4: suicides and we got to run across the field and back,
- 25:39Speaker 4: and you're running them and you're making the time, but
- 25:42Speaker 4: your heart rates not up. You're not working hard like
- 25:46Speaker 4: and then somebody else could be running the same making
- 25:49Speaker 4: it the same time as you, and their heart rate
- 25:51Speaker 4: is high and they're breathing hard. So it definitely shows
- 25:55Speaker 4: you like who's working And I mean that means a
- 25:59Speaker 4: lot in what we're doing, right.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you like to get what's max heart
- 26:03Speaker 1: rate for you when.
- 26:03Speaker 4: You're I mean I don't, I don't. The heart rate
- 26:05Speaker 4: doesn't show to us, It shows to the strength coach.
- 26:08Speaker 4: So I mean they'll know and then they'll come talk
- 26:11Speaker 4: to you about it.
- 26:12Speaker 1: Yeah. And sleep as well as huge. Yeah, you sleep
- 26:15Speaker 1: better now than you did when you were a freshman.
- 26:17Speaker 1: Do you understand the value of sleeping.
- 26:18Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean our schedule definitely helps with that too.
- 26:21Speaker 4: Like we started, We'll started ten o'clock and then I'm
- 26:27Speaker 4: going to what five thirty like during this that's the summer.
- 26:32Speaker 4: It'll probably change in a couple of days when fall
- 26:34Speaker 4: camp start. But I'm I'm passing out at like ten o'clock.
- 26:40Speaker 1: Right now, shutting it down.
- 26:41Speaker 4: Yeah, and then I'm waking up. I gotta I'm waking
- 26:44Speaker 4: up to the sun, like I don't have to wake
- 26:46Speaker 4: up to an alarm.
- 26:47Speaker 1: Does a dog wake you up?
- 26:49Speaker 4: Nah? He Actually he'll lay there. My dog will actually
- 26:51Speaker 4: lay there until you get up. He's lazy.
- 26:54Speaker 3: That's nice.
- 26:56Speaker 1: Yeah, And we're walking the dog or jogging with the dog.
- 26:59Speaker 1: Did you dog like to walk?
- 27:01Speaker 4: He likes to walk, but he he can't walk for
- 27:05Speaker 4: what he like the Frenchies, they can't be outside that long.
- 27:09Speaker 4: So I got to make sure he don't overheat, like
- 27:11Speaker 4: he'll get to breathing hard. Bro And we just walk
- 27:13Speaker 4: around the house real quick.
- 27:17Speaker 1: Is this your first Frenchie that you had?

- 31:22Speaker 4: size I get the name. So the brisket, mac and cheese,
- 31:27Speaker 4: and then the chili beans, that's probably. It's just that's
- 31:30Speaker 4: something calm, you know. And they got boot in too.
- 31:32Speaker 1: You know, I get some boot in when you walk
- 31:35Speaker 1: in over here to eat at the stadium, at the facility,
- 31:38Speaker 1: what are your go to items that you got nine

- 32:07Speaker 4: Willis maybe like the pasta days that they do. They
- 32:10Speaker 4: do pasta and like grit chicken, I'll go eat a
- 32:13Speaker 4: lot of that red.
- 32:14Speaker 2: Sauce or Alfredo sauce. Yeah, thank you?
- 32:17Speaker 1: Really interesting unless spaghetti. Yeah, would you ever put alfredo
- 32:23Speaker 1: sauce like on veal palm or chicken parm? Or do
- 32:26Speaker 1: you go with red sauce on that?
- 32:29Speaker 4: I'll do both. It wouldn't matter to me.
- 32:31Speaker 2: Yeah either Cam Cam gets it too.
- 32:33Speaker 1: So you haven't You've only been here game. You ever
- 32:35Speaker 1: been to tutors Biscuit World?
- 32:36Speaker 3: Yet?
- 32:36Speaker 1: You ever had a Tutor's biscuit?
- 32:38Speaker 4: It is that like their breakfast business. You've seen something
- 32:42Speaker 4: about it.
- 32:42Speaker 1: How many think those you could take down?
- 32:44Speaker 2: Which, by the way, before you answer, Cray told us.
- 32:47Speaker 2: Cray told us he could do three. Then Cutter rolls
- 32:51Speaker 2: in and claims he could do five. Cutter claims five.
- 32:55Speaker 2: That's outrageous.
- 32:55Speaker 1: I've never heard their cathead like they're big.
- 32:59Speaker 2: I mean they're big.
- 33:00Speaker 4: I'll probably see two two two.
- 33:02Speaker 2: He seems responsible, So that's responsible there by you.
- 33:05Speaker 1: Well, let me just tell you something about Tutor's biscuit world.
- 33:06Speaker 2: Right, Hutter gave us five. I still question that.
- 33:08Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I think Cutter could do it because Cutter's
- 33:10Speaker 1: Cutters going to be a fireman.
- 33:12Speaker 2: He'll compete.
- 33:12Speaker 1: Cutter's going to be a fireman, and he's going to
- 33:14Speaker 1: do whatever it takes to get the job done when
- 33:16Speaker 1: he's a fireman, and he's gonna do that. If he
- 33:17Speaker 1: could do five, he said it would hurt.
- 33:19Speaker 2: What's the new special?
- 33:20Speaker 1: New special at Tutors?
- 33:22Speaker 2: And then hurry up because I got a running back question.
- 33:23Speaker 1: Giving customers a hearty breakfast option packed with protein to
- 33:26Speaker 1: help fuel busy mornings. Look at these out looking for
- 33:29Speaker 1: a lower car breakfast post workout. Simply a filling meal
- 33:32Speaker 1: without the biscuit. Protein bowls deliver big flavors, satisfying portions
- 33:37Speaker 1: made with fluffy eggs, shredded cheese, diced vegetables, your choice
- 33:40Speaker 1: of premium breakfast protein. Available in three delicious varieties. Check
- 33:46Speaker 1: them out. The New Bacon, the New Vegetable protein Bowl,
- 33:49Speaker 1: the bacon protein bowl and uh, probably a sausage protein bowl.
- 33:53Speaker 2: That's pretty good as well. Get on the protein kick.
- 33:55Speaker 2: Everybody's doing protein, that's good. I'm in on those.
- 33:58Speaker 1: You're running right, you're run back question.
- 34:00Speaker 2: I eat three of those right now. Tell us about
- 34:02Speaker 2: the room a little bit. Let's talk about some of
- 34:03Speaker 2: the other guys. Give me a little bit on Laddimer.
- 34:05Speaker 2: What makes him good? Give me bos Well, what do
- 34:07Speaker 2: you like about the other guys in the room.
- 34:10Speaker 4: So I'll say I'll start off with Amar or Mari.
- 34:13Speaker 4: He he definitely got he's real knowledgeable as as being
- 34:19Speaker 4: as young as he is right now, and then definitely
- 34:21Speaker 4: got the body. If you look at him and you
- 34:24Speaker 4: can tell he's meant to play running back. He does
- 34:26Speaker 4: not look like a freshman, no, not at all. And
- 34:28Speaker 4: then I try to make sure like keeping him like
- 34:31Speaker 4: near me, like when we work out, like when we're
- 34:34Speaker 4: doing even at a like at a I wouldn't say
- 34:38Speaker 4: out of school, like at a outside of football, like
- 34:40Speaker 4: when we're doing workouts, I'm trying to make sure he's
- 34:42Speaker 4: with me, So just making sure we're on the same page.
- 34:45Speaker 4: But I'll say like he is definitely like far along
- 34:49Speaker 4: like mature beyond Yeah, mature for sure. And then Boz
- 34:56Speaker 4: got some crazy speed like I'll say, like you wouldn't
- 35:01Speaker 4: understand how how he's moving like that, like how fast
- 35:04Speaker 4: he's moving for real, Like just it looks so natural,
- 35:08Speaker 4: Like you couldn't even teach somebody to run how he running,
- 35:11Speaker 4: Like he's just running like for real, and like he's
- 35:14Speaker 4: an explosive guy. So that's just another like having so
- 35:18Speaker 4: many different I'll say, even say Tally and the other
- 35:21Speaker 4: backs that we got in the room are some quick backs,
- 35:23Speaker 4: like we all bring a certain thing to the table,
- 35:26Speaker 4: like and being able to have so many different styles
- 35:28Speaker 4: of play, like everybody got their own different style of play.
- 35:31Speaker 4: I wouldn't say nobody is nobody, nobody in the room
- 35:34Speaker 4: is similar at all?
- 35:35Speaker 1: Mm hm.
- 35:36Speaker 2: Tally was Chrys Tally freshman?
- 35:37Speaker 1: Right? How how similar to what they ran at Jack State?
- 35:41Speaker 1: Are you running here offensively? Uh?
- 35:44Speaker 4: Scheme wise? Is it's real similar? I'll say, like with
- 35:47Speaker 4: the the outside stuff that we got in the inside stuff,
- 35:52Speaker 4: and then they're definitely gonna block up front, like similar
- 35:56Speaker 4: the same basically, So I'll say it's pretty similar. If
- 36:02Speaker 4: I were to say anything.
- 36:03Speaker 3: Yeah, at Jack State, you were I mean it'd have
- 36:06Speaker 3: you in motion, they'd move you out to swats sometimes.
- 36:08Speaker 3: Is that the same here?
- 36:10Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely. We got a couple of plays where I'm
- 36:13Speaker 4: motioning in into the backfield and or motion into the
- 36:19Speaker 4: backfield and just run a whole new play like it
- 36:20Speaker 4: don't got to just be a motion across. Like just
- 36:23Speaker 4: being able to move me outside. That's something that they
- 36:25Speaker 4: said when they were recruited me. They were like, Oh,
- 36:27Speaker 4: we're gonna make sure we move you around like it's
- 36:29Speaker 4: a lot similar to what you were doing already. So
- 36:32Speaker 4: just them telling me that before and seeing it on
- 36:35Speaker 4: the field meant something to me. So, I mean, being
- 36:38Speaker 4: able to do something that you're used to is good.
- 36:40Speaker 4: So because you were used to that is what this
- 36:43Speaker 4: offense is going to do. Does that feel like you
- 36:46Speaker 4: got it completely? You know, like Okay, I got it,
- 36:48Speaker 4: I see I know. Is that how you feel now
- 36:50Speaker 4: or you still need more work on that part? I'll say,
- 36:54Speaker 4: like you said the first thing, I feel like I
- 36:57Speaker 4: came in as soon as I got here. I try
- 37:00Speaker 4: to like go out my way to like really learn everything,
- 37:04Speaker 4: but it was real similar to what I had already known,
- 37:07Speaker 4: So I just jumped right in and it was real
- 37:10Speaker 4: easy for me to get going.
- 37:11Speaker 3: So I'll say, okay, all right.
- 37:17Speaker 1: You obviously, as we said at the start, you've got
- 37:19Speaker 1: the bulls eye on your back because every opposing defense
- 37:22Speaker 1: that comes against you this year is going to go, Okay,
- 37:23Speaker 1: that's the guy that led the nation last year in rushing.
- 37:26Speaker 1: Let's go get him. What the individually you want to
- 37:29Speaker 1: prove as your return to power for this year? What's
- 37:32Speaker 1: on your agenda?
- 37:35Speaker 4: Really? To me, something I want to prove is just
- 37:38Speaker 4: I got last year. I wasn't on nobody radar, so
- 37:41Speaker 4: and I went and did like whatever I did this year,
- 37:44Speaker 4: I want to I'm on everybody's radar. I want to
- 37:47Speaker 4: be able to do the same thing, not even the
- 37:49Speaker 4: same thing, but maybe to even do more. So so,
- 37:54Speaker 4: like like I said, you said, I got a target
- 37:56Speaker 4: on my back. Basically, with the target on my back,
- 37:59Speaker 4: what can I go do now? I want people to
- 38:00Speaker 4: see that.
- 38:01Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, because the great ones like, oh yeah, come here,
- 38:04Speaker 1: bring it. Yeah I got you. How good you think
- 38:06Speaker 1: this team can be?
- 38:07Speaker 4: I think we could be great. Like just there's like
- 38:11Speaker 4: being able to everywhere. Everybody's moving so fast, you got
- 38:14Speaker 4: to really be like on top of your game. To
- 38:17Speaker 4: move that fast, you can't have no mistakes. So just
- 38:20Speaker 4: as much work as were putting in, like where everybody
- 38:25Speaker 4: is gonna be locked in on what they're doing. I
- 38:27Speaker 4: feel like we're gonna be a great team.
- 38:29Speaker 2: This offensive line has some options, right, I mean there's
- 38:31Speaker 2: multiple guys.
- 38:32Speaker 4: That can be in there.
- 38:33Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure.
- 38:35Speaker 4: And then there's multiple packages where they could be in
- 38:37Speaker 4: there too.
- 38:38Speaker 2: No. Yeah, yeah, he's getting he's getting greased up. Now,
- 38:41Speaker 2: he's got a few carries now. Now he's playing the
- 38:43Speaker 2: game right now. To give a little tease right there.
- 38:45Speaker 1: You're gonna be on the side. You're gonna you're gonna
- 38:46Speaker 1: be all sat on the sideline when Rich has got
- 38:48Speaker 1: those eleven offensive linemen out there and giving them all along.
- 38:55Speaker 1: What's the thing that's caught you about Rich? He's getting
- 38:58Speaker 1: close to two hundred wins, which hasn't been done a
- 39:00Speaker 1: whole lot in college football. So watching him in the spring,
- 39:04Speaker 1: watching him now here in the summer, why do you
- 39:05Speaker 1: think he's had success.
- 39:08Speaker 4: I'd say he has success because of how really he is.
- 39:11Speaker 4: You can't be around him and do something wrong and
- 39:14Speaker 4: not know it. As soon as soon as you do
- 39:17Speaker 4: something wrong. You gonna know right away, And that means
- 39:20Speaker 4: so much to me because I've been around people that
- 39:22Speaker 4: will let you do something they don't like and they'll
- 39:25Speaker 4: just turn their head and you're just doing it wrong.
- 39:29Speaker 4: So being able to know, like even if I'm doing
- 39:31Speaker 4: something wrong, I try not to do nothing wrong really,
- 39:34Speaker 4: but knowing that he gonna tell you right away, I
- 39:38Speaker 4: don't like that, or you need to do it this way.
- 39:40Speaker 4: This is why I want it this way. And being
- 39:42Speaker 4: able to he'll explain it to He'll make sure you
- 39:44Speaker 4: know why. He'll bring everybody in together, like we'll have
- 39:48Speaker 4: offensive meetings. He'll be like, you need to break at
- 39:51Speaker 4: the top of your route. Everybody needs to break at
- 39:53Speaker 4: the top of the route. The running backs need to
- 39:55Speaker 4: know how to break at the top of their route,
- 39:57Speaker 4: because he wants everybody to know why doing it, like
- 40:00Speaker 4: why we're doing what we're doing. So and that's also
- 40:04Speaker 4: go back to like running the ball and why we're
- 40:06Speaker 4: doing it. He wants us to be the most conditioned team.
- 40:08Speaker 4: He wants us to be moving faster, moving faster than
- 40:12Speaker 4: they can move. So I say, just that's really it,
- 40:15Speaker 4: like him telling you what he wants and he's going
- 40:18Speaker 4: to tell you if you're wrong right away. That meant
- 40:20Speaker 4: the most to me.
- 40:22Speaker 1: You got here in January and you said you used
- 40:24Speaker 1: to years ago play baseball as well. Did you get
- 40:26Speaker 1: caught up in this Mountaineer baseball team on their run.
- 40:30Speaker 4: I did a little bit.
- 40:31Speaker 3: You know.
- 40:31Speaker 4: We were definitely still practicing, like it would be days
- 40:34Speaker 4: where we were practicing and they're playing a game, like
- 40:36Speaker 4: literally playing a game. I'm going into the cafeteria watching
- 40:39Speaker 4: the game on the like the big TV that they
- 40:41Speaker 4: got in there. But I mean as I got older,
- 40:44Speaker 4: I kind of tuned out of baseball like and just
- 40:47Speaker 4: locked in on football. But I definitely were if they
- 40:50Speaker 4: were winning, I was, I was watching it.
- 40:52Speaker 2: You would have been like Armani Guzman. You would have
- 40:54Speaker 2: got on first, stole second, stole third, and then stole
- 40:56Speaker 2: home too. That was your game.
- 40:58Speaker 4: Passball, passball third. You're going, I'm in the dugout already.
- 41:03Speaker 1: That's good. Well, this is this has been good man.

- 45:43Speaker 2: insufferable part of it that's coming now.
- 45:45Speaker 1: Go ahead, So go ahead, there's there's two slices of bread.
- 45:49Speaker 1: And what I did was I surprised everyone.

- 46:13Speaker 1: wait a second, I have a fifth, a special. No
- 46:15Speaker 1: one knows about this. And I had cooked, made, baked
- 46:19Speaker 1: a loaf of bread, my bread wheat bread that morning,
- 46:23Speaker 1: and I said, okay, for the first time ever, I'm
- 46:25Speaker 1: gonna auction off one of my loaves of bread. And
- 46:28Speaker 1: we did. And you know what's bread go for? I mean,
- 46:31Speaker 1: what's it going for? Hopes it go for ten? Does
- 46:34Speaker 1: it go for ten, twenty, twenty five, thirty, thirty five,

- 46:40Speaker 1: we got to one hundred, we got to one hundred,
- 46:42Speaker 1: I don't know, twenty one thirty forty, one hundred and fifty.
- 46:46Speaker 1: And then eventually it was sold for five hundred dollars.

- 47:27Speaker 3: never hear the end of this.
- 47:28Speaker 2: I might have been three fifty, so it wouldn't get

- 52:53Speaker 2: So you can find that on his social media channels.
- 52:55Speaker 2: If you're interested, it will be that it'll be a
- 52:57Speaker 2: tough ticket, but Charles will be playing on Saturday here

- 53:17Speaker 1: I was going to say something, hold it, We'll tease
- 53:20Speaker 1: them because people want to hear what happy has to
- 53:22Speaker 1: not necessarily, but three guys brought to us by Jan
- 53:24Speaker 1: Dill's Attorneys at Law. They won't take no for an answer.
- 53:27Speaker 1: Specializing in the world of veterans, military claims, social security,
- 53:34Speaker 1: disability claims, Adam, a client, wrote, I applied for disability
- 53:39Speaker 1: over two years ago. I hired Jan Dill's Attorneys at
- 53:41Speaker 1: Law when I got my first denial. They made sure
- 53:44Speaker 1: I was doing everything right. After my second denial, which
- 53:47Speaker 1: was unfortunately expected, I had an appeal hearing and they
- 53:51Speaker 1: were amazing at representing me and got me a favorable decision.
- 53:55Speaker 1: Great communication at all points of the process, and they
- 53:58Speaker 1: really helped me know what I needed to know to do.
- 54:01Speaker 1: I couldn't recommend them more. They've got the experience you
- 54:03Speaker 1: need to get through these tough times. From Adam, a
- 54:06Speaker 1: very satisfied client Jan Dill's Attorneys of Law. If you
- 54:09Speaker 1: need some help in those worlds and personal injury as well,
- 54:12Speaker 1: but also military claims, veterans claims, and social security claims,
- 54:18Speaker 1: call the folks at Jan Dill's attorney's law. They've got
- 54:20Speaker 1: clients in all fifty states. Can't believe that Cam Cook's
- 54:25Speaker 1: family is in the barbecue business in Austin.
- 54:27Speaker 2: I know not that we do have to get that
- 54:29Speaker 2: lunch set up with those guys.
- 54:32Speaker 1: Right away.
- 54:33Speaker 2: Cam wasn't just kind of good. Cam was great as
- 54:35Speaker 2: he was. He's dialed in, isn't he. Yeah, he's dialed
- 54:38Speaker 2: in on those metrics and analytics. Yes, he's got it.
- 54:41Speaker 2: He's he's not here to mess around.
- 54:43Speaker 1: He's Unfortunately we did not even get into the shoes.
- 54:48Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and he's a shoe guy.
- 54:51Speaker 2: It's some nice ones on Jordan Guy.
- 54:54Speaker 1: Peter Millar and Jordan Guy. All right, okay, Hoppy, you
- 54:59Speaker 1: had a comment.
- 54:59Speaker 3: Well, couple of things. One is that and I don't
- 55:03Speaker 3: I don't think we can expect two hundred and ninety
- 55:06Speaker 3: five carries necessarily.
- 55:10Speaker 2: Doesn't careful? Oh Rich, that might make its way on
- 55:13Speaker 2: our over Under episode. Yeah, come soon, it'll be on there.
- 55:15Speaker 3: But if he's up there somewhere, I mean you're talking
- 55:19Speaker 3: Avon Coburn, zamos Zerawez, Quincy Wilson, Steve Slayton. Category. Again,
- 55:26Speaker 3: I don't want to get too far ahead of myself here.
- 55:29Speaker 3: But those are the guys Brad that had that number
- 55:32Speaker 3: of carries and had so.
- 55:34Speaker 2: And maybe he doesn't because if if, when Michael Hawkins
- 55:37Speaker 2: is in, you expect him to get some carries in.
- 55:39Speaker 2: I do think this room has some guys. I mean
- 55:42Speaker 2: you mentioned Latimer and Boswell and might not need to
- 55:44Speaker 2: run him except if Cam Cook is cooking. Yes, Cam
- 55:48Speaker 2: Cook's got the ball. We know that, right, I mean,
- 55:50Speaker 2: if Cam Cook's rolling, he's getting the ball.
- 55:51Speaker 3: The other thing is that and I know it was
- 55:55Speaker 3: Jack State, all due respect and you know, consider some
- 55:57Speaker 3: of the opponents, but the you look, I mean, he
- 56:00Speaker 3: was a four star recruit, he did give a recruited
- 56:02Speaker 3: by TCU, he did leave the nation last year in rushing.
- 56:05Speaker 3: Now he's here and you watch some of his games,
- 56:07Speaker 3: to watch his highlights, you go ooh. I mean he
- 56:09Speaker 3: stands out. He stands out to me, Brad in a
- 56:12Speaker 3: class different than anybody we've seen here in a y.
- 56:15Speaker 2: I think that's that's why that's the guy on this
- 56:17Speaker 2: roster that's getting a lot of national acclaim right now.
- 56:19Speaker 2: Where there's again I'll due respect for the national guys.
- 56:21Speaker 2: They just don't know about everybody's team, right, And so
- 56:24Speaker 2: Cam Cook's the guy on this team that has produced
- 56:27Speaker 2: at a really high level and yet led the nation
- 56:29Speaker 2: last year Jack State, right, different level, Okay, he led
- 56:32Speaker 2: TCU and rushing his freshman year had nine rushing touchdowns there,
- 56:36Speaker 2: So he's done it at this level as well. I
- 56:38Speaker 2: would expect big things out of it.
- 56:39Speaker 3: And you see him, you see him his cuts and
- 56:43Speaker 3: remind again, don't want to be heard away here a
- 56:46Speaker 3: little bit of a you know, Tevon could cut at speed,
- 56:49Speaker 3: you know it might big a little bit of that
- 56:50Speaker 3: h I can cut. Can't be careful, I'm just saying, though,
- 56:52Speaker 3: but cutting at speed.
- 56:54Speaker 1: Right, and I would I would just leave it. He
- 56:56Speaker 1: cuts well, and don't put the table on.
- 56:58Speaker 2: The Yeah, I think with him, And you asked him
- 57:01Speaker 2: about it, you brought it up. I mean, he can
- 57:02Speaker 2: do all three of those things. You're running in the
- 57:05Speaker 2: four fours. He can run away from you, right, but
- 57:07Speaker 2: he can juke, as he said, and he likes that
- 57:08Speaker 2: and he pays attention to to cut back. But he's
- 57:12Speaker 2: solid enough, as you saw him sitting right here at
- 57:14Speaker 2: two or five. He can run through you too, like
- 57:16Speaker 2: if you're not balancing ready to tackle him, he's gonna
- 57:18Speaker 2: run through some arm tackles. So that's that's part of
- 57:20Speaker 2: why you leave the nation in rushing. Right, You've got
- 57:22Speaker 2: all three of those abilities behind what was a really
- 57:25Speaker 2: good offensive line at jack State. We have a couple
- 57:27Speaker 2: of those guys here. You hope this line's much improved
- 57:30Speaker 2: from where it was last year. And if that line
- 57:33Speaker 2: is what we think it can be, and you put
- 57:35Speaker 2: that back behind him and you have a couple of
- 57:37Speaker 2: different quarterbacks that can do different things, all right, you
- 57:40Speaker 2: can see why there probably should be some optimism around
- 57:42Speaker 2: this offens is absolutely absolutely.
- 57:45Speaker 1: I've been having headset problems though.
- 57:47Speaker 2: You've been fiddling all of What's wrong?
- 57:48Speaker 1: Whole freaking show.
- 57:49Speaker 3: What's what's wrong?
- 57:50Speaker 1: Headset not working, Tony? Tell me this?
- 57:54Speaker 3: Look at me?
- 57:58Speaker 1: You know? Fun? Okay, So last night we had a
- 58:01Speaker 1: gentleman gave us at the event at Stonewall. He brought
- 58:05Speaker 1: us jalapeno peppers that he raised in his garden in Virginia.
- 58:08Speaker 1: Jim Jim. It was great. WV Grad Agricultural School has
- 58:14Speaker 1: a couple of podcasts himself in the beef business. Farm
- 58:17Speaker 1: raises beef. Anyway, this is what I did with the
- 58:20Speaker 1: he gave me about I think I had thirteen or fourteen.
- 58:22Speaker 1: So I made poppers. Oh yeah, I went cream. I
- 58:26Speaker 1: went cream cheese, pepper jack cheese. Put those together, married
- 58:29Speaker 1: those together, and then stuffed the cut them in half,
- 58:33Speaker 1: and then put bacon on those. Oh boy, they came
- 58:36Speaker 1: out really good.
- 58:36Speaker 2: I did not as much as you force us to
- 58:39Speaker 2: look at your stupid bread pictures. You couldn't bring a
- 58:41Speaker 2: couple of those in.
- 58:42Speaker 1: I actually have some leftover.
- 58:44Speaker 2: I would eat those.
- 58:44Speaker 1: I was at an event I brought. I made him
- 58:46Speaker 1: for an event.
- 58:47Speaker 3: Hungry since you got here, why wouldn't he just bring?
- 58:49Speaker 2: Can you bring some of that? I don't want to
- 58:51Speaker 2: see the picture of it. I would like to how
- 58:52Speaker 2: hord are those peppers? They got a little kick hot?
- 58:54Speaker 2: Did you take the seeds out or do you leave?
- 58:56Speaker 2: I took the seas but they saw some heat. Yeah,
- 58:58Speaker 2: chopped ours up. Put in a little tuna.
- 59:02Speaker 1: I wish, I wish I would did I bring you
- 59:04Speaker 1: any bit.
- 59:06Speaker 3: Because your tuna would have been sitting in a car
- 59:08Speaker 3: for three hours.
- 59:09Speaker 1: I wish I would have brought those two because I
- 59:10Speaker 1: had an onion judging contest. Excuse me, I was judging
- 59:15Speaker 1: an onion contest. What now I have some people they
- 59:18Speaker 1: illegally bring seeds over of Tropeia onions from Italy and
- 59:23Speaker 1: then they grow the onions. And there's ten contestants and
- 59:27Speaker 1: I'm second year in a row. They brought me in
- 59:29Speaker 1: to judge the onion, to pick the best one.
- 59:32Speaker 2: There's a four probably all you should say, why don't
- 59:34Speaker 2: you move along to another?
- 59:35Speaker 1: So there's four categories for one hundred points. This was
- 59:38Speaker 1: a tough year on onions here in this area because
- 59:41Speaker 1: the weather had a lot of doubles, you know, married together,
- 59:43Speaker 1: a lot of doubles. But we had a week looking
- 59:46Speaker 1: for there. What do you There's several things hoppy, there's composition,
- 59:49Speaker 1: there's the spherical nature of the onion. Any debris, any dust,
- 59:53Speaker 1: any dirt, any marks.
- 59:55Speaker 2: Don't ask him more questions about the illegal onions that
- 59:57Speaker 2: aren't even supposed to.
- 59:58Speaker 1: Be here, just saying and so I, anyway, did.
- 1:00:02Speaker 3: You also judge the illegal panguin contest? Now anyone's brought
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: into this country? Now I just I leave it at
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: onions just off the fly.
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: Some We have not done textual healing in an extremely
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: long time because we've been doing these summer series shows
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: and as a result, there's a lot of them that
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: just aren't going to get used haven't gotten used. But
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: we'll get back to textual healing when we i' go
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: on it. We'll get back to textual healing when we
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: get back to the regular part of the season. So anyway,
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: we had a lot of comments on Mike Florio's visit
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: to the program, and I'll just like hit a couple.
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: I just started listening to the podcast with Mike Florio.
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: He's put a huge smile on my face. Love is
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: honesty and willingness to not ignore the obvious. So refreshing.
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: We also had a lot of several let's say a lot.
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: We had three to five that that took umbrage to
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: some of the comments that the aforementioned mister Florio may
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: during his visit. Good afternoon, so sheets shut down our
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: only gas station here in the big town of Bailington

- 1:01:51Speaker 1: basketball team that is coming together, and we've watched a
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: lot of those practice at this point. And I told
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: Dave Weekly this just yesterday when I do the thing
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: on his program is that this team will not be
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: a finished product by any stretch when the season starts
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: in two days, when the season starts in early November.
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: But it's going to be really fun to watch the
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: maturation of this group because you've got a lot of
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: fun pieces that you can move here to figure out
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: exactly what's going to be the most potent.
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: Most potent Yeah, listen, I think you should be excited
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: about what the talent that is amassed with this group here.
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: They've got a chance. And I'll give my standard disclaimer
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: that we give all the time. There's a long way
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: between what you're doing now and getting ready to compete
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: in this league, which again will be one of the
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: best in the country. But there is multiple guys that
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: have just skills that you'd like to see, right can
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: go get your own shot, can score at all three levels. Defensively,
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: you are, like you just said, you're a long way
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: from being and where you want to be. But you've
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: got some guys that if they're going to dig in
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: and play from an athleticism standpoint, your defense should be
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: in a position like it was last year where you
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: and that's hard to say, you were top fifteen, top
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: eighteen team defensively last year. But you've got some guys here,
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: both individually and collectively that can make that end really good.
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: And if you combine that with what we've seen early
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: from an offensive just skill perspective, you got a chance
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: this season to be really good. This should be a
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: fun year. Now, your schedule, your schedule you I mean
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: we were also scheduling some teams now he getting after
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: it on the schedule, so strength the schedule will not
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: be an issue, Tony.
- 1:03:34Speaker 3: Related to basketball, for the second straight season, the Mountaineer
- 1:03:38Speaker 3: women's basketball team will take part in the Greenbrier tip
- 1:03:42Speaker 3: Off and face Northwestern inside Colonial Hall, where we saw
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: history last year against Duke with the Green Brier five.
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: Yeah, so Northwestern this year, so that this year they plan.
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: To play with more than five, but keep the it's
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: a great story, but let's just leave that to that
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: one year. I would bet all my full compliment. I'm
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: sure Mark would agree with that. Put your full compliment
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: of players this year.
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: My thought is that one way or the other, I
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: would bet there will be no ejections in this year.
- 1:04:11Speaker 4: Is to think.
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: I take the that's fun. I like that.
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: That's that's kind of a tony you. That's a weird right,
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: it's it's a weird setting ballo. They have the buffet
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: in there earlier, they clear the eggs out and put
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: the floor in.
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: I love it.
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: It is like weird and it's everybody's on top of you.
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: I think it's awesome.
- 1:04:29Speaker 3: You ding the game, go to the bathrooms right there.
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: Texas says you were the Frio about time passing as
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: you get older. He says, it is true. When you're ten,
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: it's a tenth of your life. When you're sixty five,
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: a year is only a sixty fifth of your life,
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: so time does go by faster.
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: Think about that, Hopey, I think we'd have time analytics
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: on today's show.
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: Can you think about that? What do you think Since
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: the last time we got together, a lot of Mountaineer
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: baseball players drafted. Yeah, a lot have been chosen. The
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: guy says, disappointed that you guys did not ask Mountaineer
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: linebacker Ben Cutter which of his teammates fathers or mother
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: was the new international spy, right, the Oliver's dad. Everyone
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: knows world spy.
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: That's I don't think that's true.
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: And they still check in, I mean do they check
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: in from those remote places?
- 1:05:27Speaker 3: They do?
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: They're still they're they're doing what the Straws do, world travelers. Yeah,
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: we will miss them. I hope they can make it
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: back for a game. So well, miss a food court,
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: Staples Straws.
- 1:05:38Speaker 3: And then they brought and the crazy friends with them.
- 1:05:40Speaker 3: They brought like a dozen Australians.
- 1:05:42Speaker 2: With crazy friend Those crazy friends might be bad.
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: When those guys dress dressed up as they as the
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: the gendarmes. That was absolutely the best. I love those guys.
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: They might stay to a basketball Gamember, they might still
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: be here. They'll be back and they might still be here.
- 1:05:58Speaker 4: That's a good point.
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: Forrest and right. It's great interview with Wren. Disappointed that
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: Hoppy's notepad then ask him about his tenure plans. That
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: dude is a rock star. Anyway, I'm curious if Cheat
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: lakes knewest snake Wrangler is aware of wv's history of
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: the snake as a mask.
- 1:06:15Speaker 4: I was.
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: I'm sure he could conjure upt some creative marketing around that.
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: Keep up the good work. It's a great point. West
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: Virginia was once known as the Snakes.
- 1:06:25Speaker 3: And that question I didn't ask him. I didn't, Frank,
- 1:06:29Speaker 3: I didn't think of it that day. But Wren is
- 1:06:31Speaker 3: he's he's so skilled at handling that he's not going
- 1:06:35Speaker 3: to say anything. But I will say this that I
- 1:06:39Speaker 3: believe he is very content here. I think his family
- 1:06:41Speaker 3: likes it here and he's I think it's all good
- 1:06:45Speaker 3: right now. However, a person of the skill set that
- 1:06:49Speaker 3: Wren Baker has is going to be marketable. It's not
- 1:06:54Speaker 3: doesn't mean he's out looking for another job, but there's
- 1:06:56Speaker 3: going to be offers that come his way because of
- 1:06:59Speaker 3: this success, Brad that he has had in the skill
- 1:07:03Speaker 3: set he brings to the table.
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: That's right.
- 1:07:06Speaker 3: That's right.
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: Patrick in Parkersburg, rites, I have a friend and I
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: brought bought her a WV shirt. She's now convinced it
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: is the single best pickup line icebreaker that she's ever experienced.
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: Lifelong fan from West Virginia, so she wears the thing
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: sees the flying wv Oh, I got one for you.
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: What's inn So it was recently on holiday, as they say,
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: recently on holiday, and I was walking on a beach
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: in Maine and and a couple in the bushes at Bunkport.
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: A couple was walking toward me, and with them they
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: were walking their doggie, and their doggie was a greyhound, okay,
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: and so we were relatively close. So I kind of
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: mosied over to give the dog a pep because everyone
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: knows I'm a dog guy, have been, always have been.
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: And I didn't realize I had a West Virginia shirt on,
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: and I said, Hey, how old? And they said three
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: years old dog? He was three years old. And they said,
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: out of the blue, the guy catch you caught me
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: with us when he goes used to live in race
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: in your state, wheeling got the west I go, oh, retired,
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: it's a retired three year old dog. Greyhound used to
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: run up there in the Northern Panhandle. And then did
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: you realize that that's the only dog track left in
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: the United States? Yes, yes, only one?
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: Brad, Yeah, yeah, the Poppy's done many stories on that.
- 1:08:49Speaker 3: It's been gradually declining for years for a variety of reasons,
- 1:08:53Speaker 3: and West Virginia was was left with like for the
- 1:08:57Speaker 3: last two tracks. Now it's the last track. It just
- 1:09:00Speaker 3: it's it's it's a it is And the dog people
- 1:09:03Speaker 3: won't like me for saying this. It is a dying
- 1:09:06Speaker 3: of industry. And I don't know how long the wheeling
- 1:09:10Speaker 3: track can can exist. Was the dog walking or running?
- 1:09:12Speaker 3: Did he turn it loose? Well, Tony threw his rabbit
- 1:09:16Speaker 3: out there, and oh was it running?
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: It was walking?
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: They were walking it. Yeah, they were walking it.
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: So I'll give you two quick stories of mine when
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: I was on holiday here recently. First, we were vacationing
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: with another family, and the first day we were at
- 1:09:31Speaker 2: our beach locale, not in the not in the United States,
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: so it's a whole different place. And so the boat
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: was coming in from an excursion and the song that
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: was wrapping up there was it was back to back songs.
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: We ended up being on this excursion a couple of
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: days later, there's back to back songs. They play country
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: roads and then Sweet Caroline go back to back to
- 1:09:54Speaker 2: finish it. And so we're there and I'm in the
- 1:09:57Speaker 2: water and I've got one of my girls with me
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: and my wife and our friend is up on the beach,
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: but he's by himself at this point. His kids are
- 1:10:04Speaker 2: off somewhere else in the water. His wife's not with him,
- 1:10:06Speaker 2: so he's by himself, and there's no one within a
- 1:10:09Speaker 2: few chairs of him, so he's just there's a guy
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: sitting on a beach by himself, and I can hear
- 1:10:14Speaker 2: the song playing and I immediately whirl because I know
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: he's going to do it. I know he's going to
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: do it. So they're doing the Sweet Calt and he
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: starts with the West Virginia version of Sweet Carolina. By
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: himself on a beach. You should have seen other heads
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: snap arouse, like what is happening right here? So, first
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: of all, that was classic. Second part, very last night
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: were there, they had a big stage in the middle
- 1:10:36Speaker 2: of the place where we stayed, and they do karaoke.
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: So my youngest daughter and some of the friends we
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: were both daughters actually ended up going up there. Both
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: of my daughters and the other girls from the other
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: family went up and they did Country Roads as their
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: karaoke song. Soon as it started family to the left
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: of us, starts going bananas, they start sharing, they come
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: running over afterwards. Of course from just outside of Charleston.
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: Why wouldn't they be from just outside Charleston. And they
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: were thrilled. It was their first day there and they
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: were thrilled to get a little piece of home. Hoppy yes,
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: on their first day on the island.
- 1:11:07Speaker 3: It's always a connection.
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: Always, It's always it, really, I know, we joke and
- 1:11:10Speaker 2: giggle on haha about that. It truly is everywhere you.
- 1:11:13Speaker 4: Go it is.
- 1:11:15Speaker 3: Let me if I can just make an awkward and
- 1:11:18Speaker 3: more serious transition there talk about always a connection. That
- 1:11:21Speaker 3: is that West Virginia once again, Tony's had this devastating flood,
- 1:11:25Speaker 3: horrible and a swath basically buck Cannon to Weston. There
- 1:11:29Speaker 3: was some damage also in the Ohio River Valley, but
- 1:11:32Speaker 3: might now as we record this, probably some loss of life.
- 1:11:36Speaker 3: Don't have full details on that, but just lots of
- 1:11:39Speaker 3: property damage, homes, businesses, roads, and it's heartbreaking. You know,
- 1:11:44Speaker 3: you've seen the images on video on Metro News, and
- 1:11:49Speaker 3: I know because we've been through this before and we
- 1:11:51Speaker 3: talked about the West Virginia connection, that West Virginians will
- 1:11:54Speaker 3: help our companies putting together some events which you'll hear
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: about to try to either raise money or get cleaning supplies.
- 1:12:01Speaker 3: Don't need clothes, but cleaning supplies to help folks there,
- 1:12:03Speaker 3: and I know people will pitch in, but it just
- 1:12:05Speaker 3: is heartbreaking to see that, and as it's you know,
- 1:12:10Speaker 3: it's tough to come back from that. When you get
- 1:12:12Speaker 3: a flood in your house or your business, that's hard.
- 1:12:16Speaker 3: You know, that's hard, and you may be able to
- 1:12:17Speaker 3: salvage it, but it's very hard to come back from that,
- 1:12:20Speaker 3: and it just is it's once again a very difficult
- 1:12:23Speaker 3: blow for those folks in that part of West Virginia.
- 1:12:25Speaker 3: I know that that our hearts go out to them.
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: And once again just to show you that from one
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: second to the next, one day to the next, you
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: don't know what could happen. Remember, guys, last Friday, there
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: was a traffic jam on the interstate. So what did
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: we do. We got off and we went through Lost
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: Creek Jane Loue and lou right, and that's one of
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: the exactly one of the areas that got hit. And
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: then a week, you know, less than a week later,
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: is just crushed. Yeah, horrible, So yeah, absolutely. We encourage
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: folks to do as much as that you can possibly do.
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: From the text line, this goes all the way back
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: to the Michael Hawkins visit. Listening to Michael Hawkins talk
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: about his bowling game, he said that he had a
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: high of two seventy, which means that he would have
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: rolled a minimum of nine strikes during that game. That's
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: that's kind of like Conley spreads on stats. That was
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: that he broke them.
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: He broke the mock and spread bowling spreads on stats.
- 1:13:21Speaker 3: Yeah, we hit We haven't hit up rin yet for
- 1:13:23Speaker 3: a mountain your boweling team have we have not? O?
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: Uh?
- 1:13:28Speaker 3: Because college is do have boweling teams?
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: Oh yeah that's correct, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah.
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: High schools do too, do they?
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: Okay, so this is the last year in the state
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: high school really Yeah, Kevin and Canton rites. Yeah, there
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: is always a West Virginia connection. Recently, my wonderful wife
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: took me to Detroit to see the Tigers two Tigers
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: games for my birthday, sixty third birthday, to see our
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: old friend and that is a catcher for the Tigers.
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: When the fifth inning started, she told me to start
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: watching the video for a birthday message from her as
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: I'm watching the announcement. The announcement was made for everyone
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: to sing along too, Country Roads. Of course I thought
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: you requested it, but she said no, I didn't. As
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: you can see in the picture I sent Miner's Lady
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: Stranger to Blue Water was right there above my birthday
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: and retirement message. What are the odds that a lifelong
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: mountaineer gets to hear that song in Michigan while his
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: message is being displayed. Then later on in the game,
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: Tiger's relief picture Will Vest comes in and his walk
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: up songs Charles Wesley Godwin's Q Country Roads. It all
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: made for a perfect weekend. Thanks so much to a wife.
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: Thanks so much to my wife, Dana. Signed by Kevin
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: in Canton.
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: That's a good one, it is.
- 1:14:43Speaker 3: I have a strong West Virginia connection concerning Detroit, but
- 1:14:47Speaker 3: I'm not going to tell you until I can show
- 1:14:50Speaker 3: you the picture and bring it back to you. It
- 1:14:51Speaker 3: might be a year from now, well.
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: That's a heck of a tease.
- 1:14:57Speaker 3: Might be a year well, well, Tom passes quickly. We're
- 1:14:59Speaker 3: as show Liken. I mean the time passes quickly.
- 1:15:01Speaker 2: Yeah, but real quick side note here, just as we're
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: throwing stuff out and you mentioned country roads makes me
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: think of baseball and with baseball team just went through.
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: JJ Weatherholt continues, Oh my gosh, to have an unbelievable season.
- 1:15:13Speaker 2: As of what's today, July twenty third, So as of
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: July twenty second, last night, he's he's a heavy favorite
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: for NL Rookie of the Year right now, a Miamus
- 1:15:22Speaker 2: one sixty favorite. The next closest is at plus three seventy.
- 1:15:26Speaker 2: Next closest after that is ten to one odds. So
- 1:15:29Speaker 2: JJ's off not only off to a great starter as
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: we've made the turn into the second half, the favorite
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: right now for NL Rookie the Year. What a season
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: he's had.
- 1:15:37Speaker 3: And Brad, I look at his stat line every day.
- 1:15:39Speaker 3: I check it every morning. I check it in what
- 1:15:41Speaker 3: he's doing is and your former baseball player is. I
- 1:15:45Speaker 3: think he's got a great hitting consistency. He does go
- 1:15:48Speaker 3: in a game like two hits, one hit, no hit,
- 1:15:51Speaker 3: one hit, two hits, three hits, one hit. I mean
- 1:15:54Speaker 3: that that's how you can And I think he's probably
- 1:15:56Speaker 3: in the two sixties.
- 1:15:57Speaker 2: Now fifteen home runs. And he's playing a great second
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: base too. I mean he's doing it on both sides
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: of the ball, as some would say.
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: Some would say that, and then the the unbelievable performance
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: that Gavin Kelly had representing the United States in that
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: recently completed series that took him over overseas to the
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: Far East, and so just things are going extremely extremely
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: well by the way, new T shirt idea. Okay, we
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: were doing a zoom call this week for some Mountaineer
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: Athletic Club members and we had Steve Sabins on among
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: Ross was on, Mark kellogg Ren was on there, and
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: they were talking about the Mountaineer baseball team's ability to
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: rally come from behind. Like just he said this, he goes.
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: Our mindset becomes when those situations happen, whether we get
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: up big or whether we go down big, we turn
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: off the scoreboard. Oh okay, turn off the scoreboard. Turn
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: off the scoreboards. The T shirt because they just like,
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: if we're up by eight, we don't care. We're turning
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: off score We're gonna pound the hell out of you
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: until it's now it's fifteen, that's what we're gonna do.
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: We're gonna turn off the scoreboard. And if we're down,
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: we don't care. We don't care how many we're down.
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: We're gonna turn off the scoreboard and we're gonna play.
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: I told him, I thought that was a great t shirt.
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: Is turn off the scoreboard. That's what we do. We
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: turn off the score don't care it just beat people
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: to death.
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: Speaking of baseball, here real quick, a what a big moment.
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: Since we haven't talked about this either, Armani Guzman coming back,
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: talked about all the guys that were drafted. There's a
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: guy that had an unbelievable year, specially late to get
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: him back to pair with Gavin Kelly, to pair with
- 1:17:34Speaker 2: Chanson Cole and that recruiting class. So you're a you're
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: in a great spot to try and come back and
- 1:17:39Speaker 2: defend that trip to Omaha.
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: Also, we've been on since the five for five rule
- 1:17:45Speaker 1: went into a fact. But also what's happening we haven't
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: talked about it since we've been putting some of these
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: shows down on tape, and that is they're always on tape,
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: but sometimes they've been delayed in their release. The lawsuits
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: are gaining traction among those that played last season that
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: we're told that was your last year of eligibility. We're
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: seeing it in various courts of law, and we're seeing
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: injunctions being granted, tros, temporary restraining orders being granted, and again,
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: it's going to keep in play the opportunity for players
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: to come back. And so Brennan Laurent is one of
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: those players that is kind of hanging out there that
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: did not go into the NBA Draft, has not signed
- 1:18:33Speaker 1: any professional contract, and there's a spot available on that
- 1:18:37Speaker 1: Mountain Air roster. So we'll see what happens in the courts,
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: but that is not out of the rule of thought
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: that he could potentially come back to this team next year.
- 1:18:47Speaker 2: And there's a couple avenues in whether he takes it
- 1:18:50Speaker 2: himself to court or one of these class action suits
- 1:18:54Speaker 2: gets granted in favor of everybody lets you in. I
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: think that's it's probably the next step or two that's
- 1:19:00Speaker 2: in there. But yeah, he was a notable absence from
- 1:19:01Speaker 2: the summer league. Right from the NBA Summer League. He
- 1:19:04Speaker 2: didn't see him there. So that's a guy that that boy.
- 1:19:06Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be something you want to talk about really
- 1:19:07Speaker 2: getting excited. You had a boost there, and there's a
- 1:19:09Speaker 2: Listener's a lot of steps before now and then, but
- 1:19:12Speaker 2: you talk about it getting an NBA dude back with you,
- 1:19:14Speaker 2: which also side note NBA Summer League. One of the
- 1:19:17Speaker 2: best dudes out there this whole Summer League time, Javon Small.
- 1:19:21Speaker 2: He was outstanding, eleventh in the entire Summer League and
- 1:19:23Speaker 2: assists and when you watch that, I watched every minute
- 1:19:25Speaker 2: that Memphis played, got him all the way to the
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: championship game. He belongs. He belongs one you know who
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: else looks really good and comfortable and I wouldn't be
- 1:19:33Speaker 2: shocked if he finds his way in there at some point. Again,
- 1:19:36Speaker 2: Coach Stevenson, Yeah, he looks he I mean, he's really
- 1:19:39Speaker 2: he's always been a player and Scott the great size,
- 1:19:42Speaker 2: but I watched him playing for Denver and he he
- 1:19:44Speaker 2: looked like a guy that belonged in that world. I
- 1:19:47Speaker 2: know there's a lot of players in Summer League that
- 1:19:49Speaker 2: aren't going to be on NBA rosters, but he was one.
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: I thought. I know we're biased, but he jumps out
- 1:19:54Speaker 2: right away on the screen. He's a guy that fits.
- 1:19:56Speaker 3: By the way, if West Virginia, I mean, if you
- 1:19:58Speaker 3: could beagle back, that also means other teams get other
- 1:20:02Speaker 3: guys back.
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: That's true.
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: Have to deal with Yeah, it does fine. I mean,
- 1:20:06Speaker 2: give me a Brendan Laurient back on this roster.
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: Yeah, I think if you could use this team, this
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: roster could use a guy that's played a lot of games.
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: And he only played a handful of games as a freshman.
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: He's played sophomore, junior, senior year, He's played a chunk games.
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: So yeah, he would be a really nice experienced piece.
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: And the way he played, particularly down the stretch, that's
- 1:20:29Speaker 2: a guy that was really comfortable, again playing in what
- 1:20:31Speaker 2: was not only the best league in the country last year,
- 1:20:33Speaker 2: it's one of the best leagues we've seen in the
- 1:20:35Speaker 2: last decade in terms of the talent that existed. And
- 1:20:38Speaker 2: below was right in. There's an all conference type of player,
- 1:20:42Speaker 2: and you get him back.
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: Oh look out, yep, agreed, all right. Music's on special.
