• 2:11
  Speaker 2: after the game was completed. West Virginia defeats the pit
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Panthers thirty one to twenty four. As Brad mentioned, you
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: could certainly put this in the category of an all
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: time all timer. Sixty two thousand, one hundred and eight
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: patrons on hand to watch a football contest that lasted
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: four hours and fifteen minutes. Second was it was a
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: four four hour game. They listed realized that they listen,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah did that was a long one four fifteen.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Game was so good. Didn't matter. It didn't matter. If
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: you kind of told me that was nine hours, well,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I told me it was an hour and a half.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Two time.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: It didn't matter.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of injuries during the game made it
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: a little bit longer.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: That's a storyline in one of those games where Bred
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: and I were talking about you couldn't look away. No,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: you could not look so you had to go look.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: You had to go to the bathroom at halftime and
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: after sure. Other than that, you couldn't go. You could
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: not every play. It seems like every play was vital.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: It felt that way. Brand what do we say last week?
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: This is college football? Yes, that was college football. And
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I realized ESPN had its reasons for not coming. I
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: get it. You didn't do your job against Ohio. Missed
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: a hell of a story. Boys, missed to hell of
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: a story there that was unbelievable. The pregame, the environment
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: in the stadium, and then the result and the game
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: that played out. That's what that rivalry is about. That
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: was an awesome college football game.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: It was This will be one, in my opinion, that
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: fans just will never forget for a bunch of different reasons.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: And there are no right ones. There are no wrong ones.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: But from my perspective, firstly, you have the return of
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: rich Rodriguez against Pitt on the thirteenth day of September.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Everyone knows that storyline. You add into it the fact
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: that West Virginia had lost to Ohio University and everyone's
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Dauber was down during the course of the week, that
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: West Virginia came in as a touchdown underdog on its
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: home field.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Is that right, Yeah? And then and it will fade
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the public situation. As someone said last year.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: We did say that last week. And then add in
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: the idyllic weather conditions surrounding the game Friday and said, like,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: you could not have asked for better weather conditions. So
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: you put all of those elements together, and then oh,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: you go out there and you play one of the
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: more dramatic games in the history of the Brawl and
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: really in the history of that stadium, and it ends
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: the way that it did. A Couple of things that
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: come to mind Ben Lohman is my spotter, right, one
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: of my spotters. He's a student, he's a sophomore at
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: West Virginia. And you know, you lose track of time.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: And I said to Ben after the game, I said
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: how old were you when Rich left? And he said three?
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: And he's twenty now. And I said, okay, this is
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: West Virginia football under Rich Rodriguez. I said, that is
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: it right there? This is what people have been talking
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: about that you what's this? How did it? I go,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: that's it, that's it. It was. It's bizarre, it's electric, it's crazy,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: it's dramatic, it's it's unbelievable. And I said, that's what
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: everyone has kind of been talking about. That's it right there.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: So for that whole new generation that had never felt it,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: they go like, oh, I get it. I'm in. And
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: then for all of the older folks that have seen it,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: but there had been a seventeen year absence, they go like, yes,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: that's it. Yeah, that's what I wanted. That's what I wanted,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: right because it had everything. It had drama, it had
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: high ups, high downs, gut wrenching plays, it had controversy,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: it had what was that at the end of the
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: first half. It had players taking dives on the field.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: It had Rich in his postgame press conference just going
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: full out. I mean, that's the Rich Rodriguez experience. Well,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: and that's very well said. And then to put that
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: into a encapsulate that his postgame interview kind of brought
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: that full circle on TV. He's on the verge of
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: just losing it, Like you could see how emotional he was,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: and then he.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Flips the switch and he was like Hulkgan. He was
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: cutting a promo for WWE and like was pumping the
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: fist and firing up and finishes with the god Bless
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the Mountaineers, godlus. I mean, it was an unbelievable just
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: like the game, Like you said, a swing for Rich
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: personally from the and that was neat, right, that was
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: neat to see him back with the emotion that everybody
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: in the stands was feeling he had. That that wasn't
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: just a big win. That was a massive pressure release
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: of a win in that guy's life. And you felt
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: it and saw it. And we know what West Virginia
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: fans react too. Well, it's that, right, It's that in
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: those moments.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Think about this, think about this, So the emotions that
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Rich walked off the field with the last time he
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: played Pitt seventeen years ago, and the emotions that he
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: had last night was the full one and eighty degree spin.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Just think about that. He walked off and stunned disappointment
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: seventeen years ago and he walks off in the highest
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: level the pinnacle of jubulation in last night's game. It's
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: a full circle.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: But now add that to the thousands that shared that
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: same arc. Yes, right, and we're three of them. I
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: can tell you where I wasn't seven and what I
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: was doing right after the game, and it wasn't what
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I was doing after the game last night. So that, yes,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: heightened for him because it was most personal to him,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: But for thousands of the rest of us we went
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: on that same journey in that same arc as well.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Hopster, would we talk to fans.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: We talked to a ton of fans this week at
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: BW three and at three Guys tailgates Friday and Saturday,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: and a theme emerged and that is still disappointed over
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: the OU game? Who was what's the story with his team? Offensively?
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: And can you be but you wanted to be hopeful?
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: You wanted to be optimistic. And it made me think,
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: how many time if you heard the phrase hope springs
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: eternal and that come I looked at it up, but
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: it comes from a poet, and English poet Alexander.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Pope was that pope that wrote that.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: That was Alexander Pope wrote that, And it got to
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: the essence of optimism of the human spirit. We want
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: to be optimistic, we want to be hopeful even when
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: sometimes it looks like we shouldn't be. And I think
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: that was the sense of Mountaineer Nation going into that game.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: And you're right to any.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Sixty eight showed up, were a factor.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: In the game, made a difference, no doubt, made a
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: difference in the game, and got rewarded and got rewarded
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: for that for that, So that that to me, was
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: a big.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Part of fandom.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: That's why you're a fan, because you want to be optimistic,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: even in the face of of no evidence that.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: You should be. Yeah, or at least limited evidence. Yeah.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: And I know, Brad, you're going to talk about this.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to step on you. And one of
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: the things was who's going to step up? And you'll
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: you'll get into that because there were there stories. The
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: second point is that, and you guys have touched on
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: this is rich Rodriguez. He is an emotional person. He's
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: an emotional human being, and that two thousand and seven.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Game created demons for.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Him and for Mountaineer Nation, and some of those demons
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: were cast out, not all of them because the stakes
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: weren't as high. Yeah, okay, but you cast out some
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: of those demons yesterday. So good for mountain Nation, but
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: really good for him. Good for him because I think
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: I think he really needed that. And we talked about
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: beforehand this game was what high risk, high reward, high risk,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: high reward, and if it had gone another way like
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: it looked like it was going in the second half, boy,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: what would our level of disappointment be today? But you
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: got a high reward. Congratulations to the Mountaineers and to
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Mountaineer Nation.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I'll start here where I finished. Thursday is podcast with
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: We've talked about in this series, if you're going to win,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: someone usually emerges that you didn't expect. Who's the unknown
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: hero that's going to be a legend When you talk
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: about this game forever, say hello to Ty Edwards, what
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: a day man you would have told me he'd get
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: twenty five snaps, I would have been surprised, let alone
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: twenty five carries for nearly a buck fifty and three
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: touchdowns and he was. I know, it's obvious based on
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the setline. He was a difference maker. Guys. As soon
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: as he came in, he looked like he was shot
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: out of a cannon. That was massive for Ty Edwards
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: so forever linked as one of the stars in this
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and Nico was a guy who's a name. You know.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: That's the other part of this series. There are also
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: guys whose names we know, the amos Is, the Rashids,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the Bulgers, the Whites, the Slatns that you know and
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: have produced before that also etched their name in this history.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Forever Nico has done that. That story arcs amazing right
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: coming out of the game, trying some other quarterbacks looking
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: for a spark. I know, we'll get into that, and
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: then the spark actually comes from Nico being reinserted. The
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: spark Rich was looking for came from the starter coming
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: out and being reinserted and leading those scoring drives late,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: first to get the field goal, then to get the
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: touchdown at the end with a great pass and a
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: great catch by Barnes. So to me, those two guys
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: add them to the legacy of when we talk about this,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: they'll be all timers. Those guys are all timers. Regardless
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: of what either do moving forward, they will always be
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: remembered for what they did yesterday's game.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Guys, when we're'd b W three ten years from now
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: and doing trivia and the question is who caught the
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: touchdown pass with eleven seconds remaining to push the game
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: into overtime.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: That'll be a hard answer, be Grayson Barnes. Yeah, it'll
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: be a hard answer to your question.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: That was a and Tony props to you. I listened
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: to the whole game you had. You were you were
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: very emotional yourself.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: What does that mean?
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: You were very You were very vested?
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: What does that mean?
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: You were very vested?
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: And also I appreciate the fact you were sharing your
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: opinions about certain things, which we'll talk about as well.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: That was a great throw, Brad, and a great catch.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: That was not an easy catch.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Put it in the only place he could put it,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: which was up top because the coverage was so good,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: had a defender draped all over Barnes and Nico put
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: it exactly where it had to be. It was gonna
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: make it a difficult catch. Barnes went up and got it.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: And that's the other thing, guys. To me, it was
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: a couple of things. It was Edwards and Nico stood
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: out offensively, but there are other great performances within that
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: that we'll talk about. And my god, that defense, guys,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: we'll get into the defense specifically with some numbers. That
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: defense was unbelievable and it started early when Holstein put
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the ball on the ground. We told you there was
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: going to be some Holstein turnovers. You couldn't come up
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: with it. But just saw early that this defense came
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: to play. Wait till I get into some of those
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: numbers there. That really should have turned into a West
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Virginia loss. But for that defense that absolutely had to
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: use a hockey term. Here, a hockey stood on its head.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Oh collectively, they did stand on their head collectively, is right.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: So a bunch of different things, and we can go
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: a bunch of different angles. But one of the big
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: things we've talked about since this team was put together,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: and we mentioned the eighty one plus new players, is
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: that when he was a cliche, well, players have to
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: step up. Players have to say it's my job, get
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: away from me. I'm gonna take this thing, get out
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: of here. Okay. So Nico Markiol did that yesterday. So
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: he went onto the field and he showed Rich Rodriguez
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: that I got this. I'm a winner. And Rich was
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: absolutely just over the top in his praise. In postgame
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: radio with Jed down on the field about what Nico
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Marky will do, he said that he is a freaking
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: you know stud. So it brought back memories to me
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: four years ago. This coming Wednesday, seventeenth of September twenty
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: twenty one, Nico's playing high school ball in Arizona, plays
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Bishop Gorman, leads him to an eighteen point rally in
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: the final sixty five seconds of their game to defeat
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: a perennial programally in Bishop Gorman. And we looked at
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: that back then when he had already committed to Western Simon.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Look at this, dude, Well, guess what that kind of
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: stuff does translate? Right, He's got the gamer, he's got
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: a toughness about him. Now is he the absolute perfect
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: prototypical quarterback that Rich has used in the past, that's
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: going to dazzle with his speak? No, but coaching is
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: all about using what you have. But Rich will take
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: this his mental toughness and they will now cobble this
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: offense to do the things that he does best. And
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: huge shout out to him. Remember what I said, I
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: said for him to be impactful, he has to throw
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: completion percentage high sixties, if not seventies. What did he
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: finish with seventy six seventy six? Now he's not going
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: to hit that every game, but if he can be
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: sixty seven, sixty eight, sixty nine, that's going to be
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: winning football.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Including nine of eleven on those last two drives.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: And how easy if he wasn't mentally tough, how easy
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: would it have been for him to go out there
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: and just be bad when he were turned in the secondsault?
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Could he could have been a debbie down there and
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: you're done? And Steady went like, all right, take me
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: out of the game. I'm gonna show you lit something.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: We've said this many times since he was on this
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: podcast as a as a high school senior. When he
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: came in here, he was visiting. He came in and
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: he blew us away with his answers and his interviews,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: and he's continued to do that, whether he started and
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: played poorly, whether he's won the game, whether he hasn't played.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: And he've heard he's a plus in his interviews in
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: his approach to being the quarterback right, he handles that
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: as well as anybody you've seen. And I thought his
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: answer last night in the postgame was just tremendous. He
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: was asked it was a question about mindset after he
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: was taken out and then he went back in and
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: what did he do there? He did? He talk to
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Scotty Fox before Fox went out to start the second half,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: and his answer was excellent. I mean, if that would
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: have been a thirty five year old, twelve year NFL
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: VET answering it, you would have said that's impressive. For
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: a twenty two year old guy, it was really good.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: And he just said, listen, if you're a leader, you
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: don't get to pick the times when you were a leader.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: You can't choose the times when you're you're either a
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: leader all the time or you're not. And he said
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: so when Scotty went back out there, I was the
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: first one talking to him going through some things, just
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: as he and Henderson are. When I go out there
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: and it didn't sound contrived. It didn't sound like a
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: throwaway line. It didn't sound like a line he read
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: in the leadership book. It sounded like that's that's what
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Nico is. He said, don't get a pick when you
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: want to be a leader. I thought it was a
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: great answer, guys. And maybe you'll get into this too, Brad.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: I don't steal your thunder, but talk about players making
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: a difference, and you talk about new players emerging. But
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: you know, Tony listening to your pregame interview with Rich
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: rod and he was talking about the I think he
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: was talking about it. I think it was about maybe
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: the slot receiver being important.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I mean Rodney Gallagher had a game.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: First play of the game, you remember, they went right
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: down against the safety and hit a big twenty was
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: he were already get a twenty yarder on that one.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Rodney had a really, really impressive game. It's a huge
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: game for him. Right, sister went to pit meant a lot,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: meant a lot. His mom who's passed with cancer. He
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: played for her. Had a special decal on the back
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: of his helmet. You know, it's a group that's a
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: great cause. Yeah, group that helps out kids that go
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: through traumatic loss, and he was honoring them. And he
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: goes out there yesterday and he gets on eight targets.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: He catches seven for sixty one, got thirty yards after
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: catch and makes some big plays.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Tied a career high in targets that he matched in
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the bowl game against Memphis. So that was good. You've
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: been waiting for some Rodney Gallagher breakthrough here. As good
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: an athlete as he is, as highly touted as he
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: was was that was good to see him make a
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: difference yesterday defensively. Again, a lot of guys you can
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: go through, but how about our guy Eddie Vesternnan two
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: sacks in the game, and one of those boys, he
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: just he just lined up. What did he say on here?
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: He said, sometimes you got to line up from the
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: guy across from me and fight him and win it.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: And he lined up against that poor buddy and just
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: pushed him straight. There was no help, there was no
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: one coming. That offensive lineman wasn't distracted by anybody else.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: That old lineman isn't gonna like the tape review when
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: it comes out.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Was his mom was here? Yeah, she flew in, flew
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: in for the game.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Well, he was good. Did you his girlfriend was at
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Buffalo Wild Wings? No, at the food court. Yeah, it's
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: a food court. Was that right? Yeah? Didn't know that
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: first time she introduced herself to you. Well, I met
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: she was with a group. I met her, we talked,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: was that right? Yeah?
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: And his mom's here and then well, and we haven't
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: even talked about our other guys.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, So I was going to say, speaking of international flavor,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: the Straws basically had everybody over here, right allis Grandpa
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: watching him for the first time. Mom and dad were here.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: We saw them at Buffalo Wild Wings. They were awesome.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Underrated play because so many other plays were big, but
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: our guy making that catch in the back of the
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: end zone on the snap that went to his right
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: was absolutely huge. Game saving might be a little dramatic
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: given where the game went, but at the time I
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: said to somebody I would standing next to West Virginia wins.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: That might be the play of the game because that
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: turns into a safety and then the air comes out
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: of that stadium, and then what happens next He not
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: only makes the catch and saves you two points, then
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: drills a fifty yarder That was the drive that continued
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: down the field. They got the horrendously stupid roughness penalty
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: that backed them up. The kid came in late on
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: the pile, tried to drill somebody. They flagged him for it,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: back it up, and they missed the field goal. Massive
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: game gameplay, big play in the game from Oliver Straw.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Straw great game. Strall was like a power forward going
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: up and getting the entry pass.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Great play.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: It was a tremendous play and again kind of overshadowed
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: because everything else had happened late.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: But it was and he gets that athleticism from his mom.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Joanne's question the dad, Anthony, he's not giving him any
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: of that. Some Anthony's just flying around those airplanes, you know.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: We asked Anthony at the Buffalo Wild Wings. We did
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: an interview with Oliver's dad, and we said how many
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: countries have you been in in the last year? And
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: I set the line at thirteen and a half.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I think you said last nineteen.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: No, No, first was thirteen and a half. And he said, oh,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: over that. I said thirteen. And you've been over and
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: you've been in over thirteen countries in the last twelve
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: and he goes, yeah, and then I said, okay, new
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: line nineteen and a half and he said over and
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: we went You've been into twenty over twenty countries in
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: the last twelve months. He goes, yeah, And then he
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: texted us the next day and said, look, I hope
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: I didn't get over my skis, and he sent us
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: a graph. So he's got this twelve guy and it
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: exactly was twenty countries in the last twelve months, which
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: lays claim to what I've always claimed that he's an
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: international spy.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: He's not a spy. That's totally unconfirmed. Oh, he's been
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: to a lot of places, a lot of play. Great play,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: big play by big play by him Justin Smith Brown right,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: big huge Way fifty fifty six, and you win games
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: like this, and there's just we can talk all day
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: about guys.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Guys make guys make play. You know Ben Cutter had
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: a game, Yes he did. You lost Ashton Woods on
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: a bad call targeting. That's don't even get me started.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Three guys before the game, getting ready for spreads on stats.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Three guys brought to us by Jan Dills, a West

• 22:09
  Speaker 2: That's okay, Yeah, that's okay. I trust I'm saving up
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: for that big tabe. I ended the day. I ended
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: the day yesterday like on an old time bad eat.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Like when I walked back into the house, this crushed it.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: They had gone to the game, so we had a
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: huge bag of kettle corn. So I ended the day
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: with like kettle corn, chocolate chip cookies in no order,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: steak potatoes just like all of what just whatever?
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: What did the same? So distracted by the game action
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: didn't really eat for the entire time, got her home
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: and just was like I was raiding the closets. Yeah, exactly,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: So I won't criticize you.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: All right, let's do this thing. It's time for spreads
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: on stats. Brought to us by Conley CPA Group. They
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: do provide value beyond numbers. The Conley CPA Group. They
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: take they help businesses they walk with you and give
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: you the best advice possible to make sure that you're
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: doing the best job allowed when it comes to tax
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: liabilities and everything that goes with it. They're full service
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: public accounting and they offer remote accounting for your business,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: which is real nice. We think remote accounting. Also, they
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: can remote in and provide CFO services as well as
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Conley's CPA group. All right, so the numbers that the
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Senator uses, some of these services are grading as we speak.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Some of them are in so the grades change a
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: little bit as the game, you know, it takes on
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: a little bit longer time. Did you have any like
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: mouth opening a gate numbers when you started taking a
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: look at this.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to dive into a bunch, but i
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: think this was one of those games and we say
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: this a few times a year, and I'm going to
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: start where we normally start, where we review what we
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: talked about Thursday, because I thought this was one that
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: hit hop most of the points we said, all right,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: if West Virginia going to win, here are some places
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: to take advantage of them. A lot of those came through.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: So let's dive in first and foremost we led last
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: week with biggest tests of the year for pitt they
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: had to strength to schedule that was one thirteen out
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: of one hundred and thirty six teams. We said, how
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: are they going to handle this environment? It's going to
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: be bonkers. I thought a lot of this was contributed
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: to the defense, but the environment mattered. I thought they
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: looked off early. We said that in cade Bell the
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinators first fifteen games as OC, they'd only scored
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: on the opening drive three times. And that wasn't my step.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: That came from Chris Peak at panther Lair. That came
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: to Fruition hob Right. That first drive of the game,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: they were out of sorts Westforrdin. He set that tone
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: early and if you're going to pull an upset, you
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: got to start fast and keep that crowd into it.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: They did, which led us in to the second part
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: of that where we said Holstein is a turnover play machine.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: There are turnovers coming and it was a guy that
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, you saw the talent on display. He made
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: a couple throws that he just went, oh my gosh.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: But if you went and looked at those underlying numbers,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: even to the first two games, he had eight touchdown passes,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: but had more turnover worthy plays than he had big
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: time throws. You could tell it was right for some turnovers.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: He put it on the ground, not a pick, but
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: he put it on the ground in that first possession.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Kk Tarnu just couldn't pick it up. Otherwise that you
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: would have been off to an even hotter start than
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: you were. We said, not only would he said he
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: would throw a pick, Not only did he, he did
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: in a massive situation down in that red zone. Pick
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: in the end zone by Darien Lewis. That was huge.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Said last year, pit opponents had more dropped interceptions against
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: him than any quarterback in the country. Westerrginia had the
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: one pick. How many they dropped there were a couple
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: more that the time, yes correct, So it could have
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: easily been a three interception game. And he put the
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: ball on the ground multiple times fumble wise. So he
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: finishes the game with one big time throw for turnover
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: worthy plays. So that came to fruition and again credit
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: to the West Virginia defense because he was uncomfortable almost
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: all night. A lot of that came from what we
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: talked about Thursday with Pits off line. They had really struggled.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: We thought West Virginia could get pressure. Did they twenty
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: five total pressures as of now, and you're right, those
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: numbers change and mature. Six sacks. You add in three
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: pass breakups, excuse me, the interception, eight tackles for lost total.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: That's a heck of a havoc day, guys. Those are
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: havoc stats West Virginia. I thought defense created it all day.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: They were just simply outstanding.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Who had going into the game that West Virginia's defense
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: would have more sacks than Pitt's defense After the way
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: the offensive line played against Ohio University.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: It's a great point.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Six to three.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, Zach Alley, it let him go.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: And and Darien Lewis to your point on that interception postgame,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: he said, like, that's coach Alley. He said he knew exactly.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: He said, he knew exactly what was coming and he said, okay,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: here we go. So he said, yeah, it was him.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: He was right there. We talked about West Virginia's run
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: defense coming into this game was top ten nationally with
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: just zero point one yards before contact per attempt. You
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: just haven't been able to run the ball against West
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Virginia Hoppy, guess what didn't happen yesterday? What didn't happen?
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Brad Pid didn't run the ball either, read read non
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: existent for the second straight year. Was he hurt Yes, yes,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: but wasn't effective when he was in right? One point
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: four yards per carry on the day for Pitt Wow
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: guys one point four And I know that's an offense
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: that wants to throw it more than run it. But
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: we said the other day limit that run, make them
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: one dimensional, crank the pressure, turnovers are coming zach Ally's defense,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: and those guys did exactly that.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Holstein killed you with his late runs in last year's game.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: His long run this year on fourteen carries was eight yards,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: so he never was able to get down the field.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Thank you very next line here, Holstein last year scrambled
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: for eighty six yards, sixty seven of those coming in
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: the final two drives of the game where they ultimately
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: got the win. Right yesterday, thirteen scramble yards combined. On
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: the day, you pressured and contained. We said you were
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: going to get a similar look to Navarro, but that
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: he wasn't as slippery as Navarro, and you handled it
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: just like you did in the second half of that game.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Some more numbers. This one still blows me away, guys,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: because this just doesn't happen. Given the turnovers West Virginia had,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: it led Pitt to a thirteen yard field position advantage.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: And you've heard me if you listen to this show,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: we talk about if you're plus ten yards in field
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: position advantage, you win like it's ninety two or ninety
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: three percent of the time. And so that's a stat
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: if you watch during the game, the score usually catches
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: up to what the field position does, or the field
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: position gap will close as the as one team starts
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: to overtake the other. This you knew you were in
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: some trouble with those short field but West Virginia's defense
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: continuing to stand up in those short fields and either
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: force field goals or no point, it's lead you to
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: flip a number that has a ninety plus percent win percentage.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because their average start point for Pitt was their
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: thirty nine, West Virginia was twenty six. And you say
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: ninety plus percent of the time you'd lose when that happened.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: It's plus ten yards as the number you're trying to
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: get to there, and that plus thirteen. That's an outlier
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: there that you win a game given them the starts
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: where they did, and there was a point in the game.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: This isn't a final, but a point in the game
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: where Pitt had been inside West Virginia's ten three times
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: and got three points correct.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, just so again, it's easier to quantify individual
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: offensive performances, which is why so many of the stars
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: of this series we talk about our offensive guys. You
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: cannot mention this game, and you shouldn't moving forward ever
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: without talking about this defense. That was just that was
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: an unbelievable performance against what has been and can be
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: a really dynamic pit offense. So they were just tremendous.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: And there were other little plays in there defensively, and
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: one of them I thought, guys, that was big that
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: end of the half, big pass play that they got.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: That's one of those that you just feel like when
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: that happens at the end of the half, those aren't
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: good signs, right, Those are games you usually end up losing.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: And I thought kk Tarnu staying with that play and
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: pushing him out of bounds before it turns into a
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: touchdo it would have been easy to give up on
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: that play to get yourself blocked to not hustle and
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: knock the receiver out of bounds hoppy, but Tarnu stays
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: with him and they don't get the six first and
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: goal from the first and goal from the six, and
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: they can't get six out of that and they have
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: to settle for a field goal. That's one of those
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: hidden points in there that you save. You gave up
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: a big play, but you didn't give up a touchdown
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: off that big play. That was tremendous. Back to back
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: interceptions in the second half. One drive started on the
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: West Virginia fourteen, the other one started on the West
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Virginia twenty four. Pitt only got six points total out
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: of those two drives, eight plays minus eight yards combined
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: on that. So it's funny how sports works say a
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: lot of times in these rivalry games, things work out.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: And I said last week, West Virginia has to be
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: the recipient of some of the weirdness that had been
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: happening in this series for Pitt. And this wasn't necessarily weirdness,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: but things flipped where that was the stat we gave
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: last week hop three interceptions for West Virginia. It ran
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: nine plays minus seven yards out of those this week,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: it just gave you a totally flipped stat and it
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: turns into a win. Last year, you can't close the
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: deal up double digits in the last few minutes, they
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: end up getting the win. What happened this year, hob Well,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: you scored late. It flipped.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: You scored late, erased the deficit, won the game. Put
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: together those two drives in the last five minutes.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: These are good numbers so far.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's really the bulk of it. Those
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: are the ones that jumped out. I could do it forever,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: and there's there's certainly grades we can talk.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: About individual players.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Well, you want to, you want to make some guesses
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: because it's fresh tape, you'll be able to get them.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Perry Ty Edwards, Yeah, let's go. Let's go off in
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: some grades. I mean, start the game. Ti Edwards is
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: your number one graded offensive player? Gallagher three, Grayson Barnes six,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Nico seven. I mean, guys, you would expect to be
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: up in the top. I thought this was in cam
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Vaughan graded out really well for a game where he
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: just was man that that coverage was tough man pressing
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: him with a safety rolled over on top. And there
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: were times when it was when it was when Nico
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: would drop back, that's that safety would just turn and
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: run at him. And he had two guys running with him,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: so it was it's a guy you want to get
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: the ball to. There was just not a lot of
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: opportunities to hear so.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: But yeah, and even though it didn't go to a
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: huge interference call, that he drew huge, huge call because
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: of his presence.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Right it Also it didn't count. But how about the
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: play when it was blown dead? And I think it
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: was Henderson just ended up throwing the ball up on
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: the near sideline to the press boxer shut and the
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: guy and Vaughan in the defensive back thought it was
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: a live play and Vaughn just elevates up and thinks
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: the thing out of there. Didn't count. But a great play.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: So that was some of your offensive guys.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: Just I mean again on the on the offensive line
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: for West Virginia, anything.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Early, uh, work to do.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: That's your way of saying, you don't want to crush anybody,
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: work work to do.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: I think you saw effort, effort, the effort, the lines efforting.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: What was interesting you mix some of those backups in
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: but mostly in that like that wild jumbo. I don't
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: know what you called. How'd you called? You described that?
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Nine offensive lineman? Nine nine offensive lineman? It was great,
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: A classic Rich, It was great, classic Rich.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I love seeing that.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: By the way, you got a break on that touchdown.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: I called it a touchdown? What do you mean?
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: No, the one?
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: What was a touchdown? One of those offensive linemen that
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: was lined.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: After a back may have gotten a good start, may
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: have gotten a good start, made good jump on the ball,
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: may have.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Boys and Stripes missed a couple along the way.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: So I think that was a you were you were due.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: They had a rough day overall, you were due. They
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: had a very rough day.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah they did. Yeah, they did. We'll get into that.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I think that's the bulk of the numbers there. I
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: mean that kind of that tells the story on a
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: lot of that. But just a tremendous day defensively. Again,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: can't keep saying enough about how that defense stood up
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: that field position advantage. Is remarkable that you won that
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: game the odds, totally defied the.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Odds, And doesn't that really fit into what the fans
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: have come to expect from a mountain of football team, right,
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: and from a rich Rodriguez football team hard knows play
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: through the entire game and makes extensively. And I think
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: we'd gotten away from that we had. I mean, last year,
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: we know what it was, and this is a whole different,
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: whole different scene this year with his defense.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and so let's use this statement that we oftentimes
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: use when you don't get the result that you want,
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: and I'll use it again. It's never as good as
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: you think, and it's never as bad as you think.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: It is always somewhere in the middle. So last week
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: we were in the depths of depression. I mean, I
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: personally was. My wife left the house last Sunday. Really,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: you just left the house. She went in the backyard,
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: started doing that garden things. She goes, Dude, been married
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: to you long enough. I know you're just gonna be miserable.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: You don't want to talk. So I'm just like, I'm
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: gonna go out here and just take care of stuff
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: in the grass. You just go ahead and be miserable.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: He knows you.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: And it was it bummed me out. That was a
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: crusher last week. And it was tough to say last
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: week that it's never as bad or as ever as
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: good as it is. It's somewhere in the middle. It
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: was tough saying there was a middle after last Saturday,
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: and I'll say the same thing this week. There's still
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: obviously a ton that this team has to improve on.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: But what I think that wind gives you is to
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: use a hot water tank analogy. Okay, the pilot light
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: is lit, there's a light there, there's a light. We
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: have a light, we have some we have a spark here,
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: and now you're going to be able to grow and
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: grow from that. But last week, after the loss, you said, like, man,
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: I don't see pilot light on. I'm really really worried
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: this team's going to go what DoD ESPN say, they're
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: going to lose the rest of the games? After last week, Yeah,
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: it was like something like that. So at least I
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: don't know how many still gonna win this year. I
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: don't know how many how the things is going to
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: play out, but I do know this, the culture and
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: the hard edge that Rich has preached to these guys.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: They experienced it yesterday, and those are the kind of
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: things that permanently brand every player in the program, going like.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, this is what you meant.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: This is what you meant. And then Rich gave me
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: that in the pregame interview. He said, you know, there
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: comes a time where the players have got to trust
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: what it is that we're telling them. And once that
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: happens for them, then they go, oh, right, the proverbial
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: light bulb comes out. So I do think that game
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: last night taught those guys what they were preaching. And
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: we had Owen Schmidt barge into our box. I mean,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: I don't even know where he came from. I don't
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: know if he had a CREDENTI or anything on there.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: Who's gonna stop him? Yeah, no, it's gonna stop. But
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: that's exactly what we talked about after the game. Iwen said,
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: like that right there makes everyone go like, oh, I
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: get it. And so going forward, who knows Kansas is
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: gonna be a whole different challenge. The whole thing got
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: a lot of tough games, but at least those guys
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: tasted it and now they know what it is.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Last number I'll give you and I mentioned this hoppy
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: in the open here. The betting line we like to
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: talk about totals closed it at fifty five and a half.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Was the final score there game thirty one, twenty four
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: amazing listen line and I used the term last week
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: that I got from buddy of mine that follows us
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: to text me. He said, geez, they're betting this game
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: like they know. The final score that things was two
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: and a half for a long time, went to four
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: and a half after the loss, jumped to six and
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: a half after the injury news was announced. Eventually climbed
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: to seven and a half by the time yesterday. And
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: there there's a reason fade the public is a term
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: you've heard, and the public just got this one wrong.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: It looked too easy to take pitt and hop you
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: got that home dog. It's seven and a half point there.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Congratulations all of you that holding get the Mountaineers holding
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: tickes graduates that cast. Well, you if you got to
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: go into overtime.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: You like the fact that you how you got to
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: overtime right because you felt like you were just and
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: and I think getting the ball first was good too.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: You usually don't like that, but you just scored twice
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: and you get the ball and immediately get a touchdown.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: I just thought that was important. Getting it first is
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: great if you get if you get a touchdown too.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: You never know that ahead of time, but when you
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: get that touchdown, you talk about the pressure ramping up
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: on the other sideline quickly when you know you've got
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: to score and your defense can pin it back and
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: come even more. I thought, I thought Rich had some
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: great play calling there late once some of the running
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: game was working, and then it allows you to open
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: the playbup those couple fake reverses right there. Yeah hit
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: because they were not fooled. I mean they had you
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: pitched the ball to the guy on the reverse both
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: of those times. That's a big time loss, but it
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: just created some confusion and then the rollout and they hit.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: I just I thought he mixed it in. Their late
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: play calling came along too.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: Someone asked or wondered out loud. I think it was
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: during our broadcast. Would Rich go for two when they
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: scored the touchdown with eleven seconds to go? And Rich says,
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: absolutely not, because I like my chances every time a
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: game goes longer, because I think our physical cognitioning over
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: and it played out to be true.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: And at home, right, one of the old adages is
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: you you play for the tie at home because you've
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: got the crowd on the road, you try and get
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: the win and get out of there. So that man's
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: a great And also just the last couple of drives
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: by had somebody ask me why you don't go for
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: it when you're down the two scores they're late on
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: that fourth down. Absolutely the right move, like kick the
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: field goal you need, you need two scores any other way. Yeah,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: so take it and then come back with the other drive.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: So managed extremely well at the end of the game too,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: all right.

  Speaker 2: Sales dot Com and mentioned Oliver Straw's dad being a
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: spy when he goes out does his spy stuff. I
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: think I think he does. He travels in Pontoon votes
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: when he goes over those twenty countries in twelve months.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: Kid me, Yeah, he's doing something. He's doing something. I
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: don't know exactly what is. He told Hopy asked him
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: what he did. He said, I'm a greeting card salesman.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: Classic technique. Yeah, I don't know that he's that either.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: I met a dude at the food court this weekend
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: who truly was a spy. Excuse me, what seriously? NSA spy?
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: You probably talked to him yea, And I showed him
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: where Oliver's dad had been. He kind of raised an
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: eyebrow when I said his international is probably goes like
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: he goes. Not been in Africa enough, so apparently a
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: lot going on in Africa. So Ali's dad might not
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: be a full Africa spy, but.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: I thought he worked to Europe in Asia.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: He does. But the guy that was the NSA guy
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: like he knew exactly like I said, Oliver's dad was
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: in twenty countries in twelve months, and I think he's
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: an international spy. And the guy from the NSA goes, yeah, right, so.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Now I'm confirmed all the way around.
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: Now we're going to have at our next three guys tailgate.
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: A couple of guys in suits and sunglasses show up
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: and started asking people questions.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: Just ask him, just saying I'm in twenty countries, gets around,
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: gets around. Man time for textual healing. Brought to us
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: by episode eight hundred. Dot Com that's our place where
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: we sell our merchandise, all of our fun stuff, our gear,
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: our coffee are popcorn, trinkets, car batteries, camera tripods, roofing, shingles.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: No cars.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: I think we're getting into cars now. There sell vehicles
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: on episode dot com. Just take a look. Might have
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: a car or two out there, all right, So as
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: you can imagine, hundreds of texts, and I went in
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: early this morning and started to parse through these things,
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: and so not everyone's text will be used, but the
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: general theme of the text will be conveyed. And thank
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: you all very much for texting. It's kind of funny,
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: especially with games that go into the night. The drunk
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: text are great because the same number will text like
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: five times and you can just see it trickle over
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: the course of like Arison one, and then a forty
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: minutes later than an hour and twenty, spelling gets worse.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: Spelling gets worse, and then apologies coming, like the way
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: that ended last night, a lot of apologies at the end,
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: like they're fire and brimstone in the beginning, and then
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: it dissipates.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: That's okay, I mean the text line is is it's
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: not it's not Hoppy's old steam release there, but it
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: is healing, so that happens.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: I had a text last night said you need to
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: go do a three guys right now?
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Pam, Pam, Yeah. Pam texted us and said, go
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: into the studio around my house.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: No, we'll do it tomorrow. Yeah.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: First off, shout out to Arnold the bus driver. Excuse me, Arnold,
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: what's Arnold doing?
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: Arnold the bus driver?
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Sure?
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: So he called me Friday and he said yo, and
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: I said, yeah, he goes put this on your podcast Sunday.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: I said, what do you got? He goes West Virginia wins,
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: mark it down and don't forget to give me my
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: due when it happens. I said, okay. So he called
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: me this morning as I was driving in, just to
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: make sure, and he said that he was. So he's
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: the bus driver. Arnold the bus driver has hauled the
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: Mountaineers for a thousand years. But he had a he
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: had a a water polo team that he was carrying
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: last night from excuse me, high school water polo. He had,
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: like North Alleghany's water polo team. They just played a
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: big match against the school from Connecticut in Erie, Pennsylvania.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: He was bringing him back from Marie and so he
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: plugs his computer through the through the bus so the
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: kids could watch the West Virginia pit game. And so
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: they're North Alleghany kids, right, So they're all pit kids.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: And they were given they were given Arnold the business.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: And then the tide turned. And you know Arnold, Arnold probably.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Doesn't.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: Arnold doesn't hesitate. Arnold probably took that one. You know that.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: But all those microphones have those buses, So shout out Arnold.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: Uh Dan from parts unknown in game text fourth quarter
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: good things not looking good. Hard to get a read
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: on any of the quarterbacks because of the line play.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: Ouch having said that I would like to concentrate on
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: that snag that our boy Ali straw had during the
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: punt early in the game. Are you kidding me? Awesome, Dan, Yeah,
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: Well he did not. He did not text after the
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: muncie in MacDowell County. The win over Pit isn't just
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: a victory, it's a statement. For the first time in
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: what feels like forever, we're seeing a team play with heart, grit,
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: relentless effort. Coach Rod's staff, his squad refusing to quit.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: Kind of energy that reminds us of why we do
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: belied Golden Blue. Finally, there is real hope that we're
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: climbing back to the level West Virginia fans of expected
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: future feels alive again. We're not just watching a game,
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: We're witnessing a resurgence. Texter, gentlemen, this is a good one. Gentlemen,
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: this is Scott and Stafford. About ten months ago, my
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: account got hacked by an individual angry at Rich Rodriguez.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: That person sent several texts denouncing him and his hiring.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: That person was an absolute idiot. For the record, I
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: have always supported Rich Rodrigez and I'm thrilled he is backed.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: Thanks for letting me correct the record.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: Very good Scott, welcome back.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: You're in Scott series of techxt from Greg. This is
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: a series of text going in overtime. Please inform coach Rodriguez.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: I'm not twenty anymore and my heart can't take these
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: types of games. Come on, ears, let's get it done.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: Another pit player down. Last text from him, I'm in tears.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: What a game? Yeah, Texter Lindbergh from Lucato. Heroes are
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: made in the backyard brawl. So who's your hero? I
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: nominate Tie Edwards, Greg and Stewart Virginia. I knew it
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: was going to be a good day when the woman
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: at tutors handed me in my biscuit and said these
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: are fresh and hot. A few thoughts on this game.
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: I love college football and it's a flat out crime
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: that all games like this are not protected geographically.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: Is what he means.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: Why aren't you playing these games? This team may not
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: have all the talent we'd like to have, but they
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: play with their hair on fire and that deserves our
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: support no matter what. Our defense filled with absolute dog
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: Zach Alley worth a cent, no question that this is
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: Nico's team. Snapped the ball to QB one. Let's go, Tony.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: You had several opportunities to use mountaineer mash and you
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: did not use it. We need an explanation when they
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: went into the tushpush.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: What was your reasoning there?
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: So my reasoning would be it's a fair question. I
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: just thought it happened so fast, it's a split second,
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: and I hadn't properly defined what mountaineer mash was, so
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: I just went tush push just because I think.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: People get it.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: But going forward, like if there's a time and a
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: stoppage before they go, then I will Okay, okay, we're
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: gonna call this mountaineer mash. All eleven players are together
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: in a human circle, circle of humaniss. That's yeah, But
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: you're right, this is a very heartfelt one. Robin Cincinnati.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: I lost my dad last year. He'll love this. Hope
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: my kids talks about this in twenty seventy five, like
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: I talked about Ackenzie on ABC. So many memories, that's
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: what it's all about. And Tony, it is a great
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: night to be a mountaineer. Ros Cincinnati. Speaking of Bill mckenzi,
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: I gave him, his daughter, his brother, and Bill's friend
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: from Arizona a tour Bill their royalty. I introduced him
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: to every one of the boy. This is Royalty Royalty
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: and Bill's friend John, who lives with him and they
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: lived together or not. They live in Arizona, their buddies
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: out there. John had come to the game simply because
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: he loves college football and said, I always wanted this
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: backyard brawl. Oh, he got one forty year season ticket
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: holder at Tennessee. John is they had a pretty good
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: game yesterday.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah they did, but.
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: He said I always wanted to see a backyard brawl,
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: and boy, I bet you he is thrilled and elated.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: Texter.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: Hey, three guys love listening to Tony on the call
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: as I had it turned down to the TV. Hopefully
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: this one will shut the rich Rod haters up give
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: him time to develop his team. My three year old
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: had a stroke back in January, and I didn't know
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: if I would ever have the chance I did tonight
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: as me and her were together screaming from Hoky's Territory
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: in our living room in Pulaski, Virginia, as we watched
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: our favorite team beat the ugliest team alive. Here is
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: a video of me, her training her looking to go
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: on to the next one. So yeah, a little clip
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: of video got a darling little girl here there she
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: is and daddy was teaching her all of the stuff.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: So thank you very much. We're sharing that. And they
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: were screaming there at the TV.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: Hurry, Hokey's got some problems.
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah they yeah, they do.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: There you go, boy, I mean you talk about Sorry,
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: No you're not. I mean, nobody worries about us problem, Brad.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: I've adopted your your strategy about that. Like, hey, welcome
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: old Dominion next Texter. Anybody say how many pit players
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: got transferred to WVU Medicine's Ruby Memorial Hospital. They got
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: hit with the injury bug pretty hard and a big
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: momentum swings must be a coincidence, big w for the
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: World champs. I can see why the head referee of
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: that crew last week quit. Pretty bad officiating.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: Can we go ahead and talk about that.
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: Let's go so on the injuries and we've been over this,
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: but to re state, here's what the rule says. If
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: the player presents and has injured after the ball is
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: spotted by the officiating crew for the next play, the
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: player's team will be charged a time out. If a
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: time out does not exist, a five yard delay of
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: game penalty.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: Will be assessed.
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: Of course, the key is that how did they get
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: around that bread go down before?
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: And so that's what's happening.
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: But what do you do? I mean, do you send?
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: What do you do about that? What do you do
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: about that?
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: So, Brad, that raises a very good point about that,
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: and go ahead, you can say better than I can say.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: Well, I do think one of the referees have discretion there, right,
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: If they think it's being done simply to slow down
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: the game, they have some discretion within here. But I
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: would guess part of the hesitation is if nine or
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: ten guys went down for pit yesterday, just to use
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: as an example, if they flag somebody for that and
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: one of those guys comes back that it was an
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: actual injury, and Pitt releases that or whomever releases that
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: the following Monday or Tuesday that that person was really
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: injured and they got flagged. You talk about an uproar,
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: and it only takes one. They could be ninety percent
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: right that the guys were not that injured and they
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: were doing it as gamesmanship. But if you get one
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: where they're really injured, that backlash would be massive. I
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: think crews would be suspended guys would be removed. I mean,
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: it would be absolute chaos. So that's a really hard
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: What are you supposed to do with that? Right? We
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: talked about that earlier. It just doesn't seem like there's
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: an easy way to definitively know that and fix that
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: as an issue. But it's clearly an issue. I mean,
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: it's clearly an issue. We knew it was going to
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: be an issue. We talked about it before the season well,
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: and it's going to continue to be an issue with
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: Rich and the way this offense runs. Did he fix that?
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: Did Rich have?
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: And Rich had a grace? You got to watch his
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: post Kame Prescott hilarious the way he phrased it, really
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: drawing attention to it without getting in trouble. Okay, is
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: that is there a rule modification? We could say if
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: you go out with an injury, you can't come back
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: in that series?
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: I think that's fair.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: That might be a nice step.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: Because if the player really is hurt, doesn't matter, right, correct? Right,
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: Maybe wasn't gonna be able to come in anyway that.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, there might be something into that. You might
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: have to look at that. I'm sure there's a million
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: examples of why that doesn't work. It's a it's hard
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: to officiate that. I get it, but something's got to
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: be done. I mean, it's it's altering games.
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: Speaking of rules, what was We know what the call
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: was on the sack of Holstein of a roughing the quarterback,
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: which just looked like as you said, definitively on the broadcast,
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: Tony looked just like a sack. But was there something
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: else that happened that we couldn't see that indicated roughing.
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: In watching the interaction between the official who called it
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: and Rich, it seemed to me as though the official
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: was indicating that the Mountaineer player put his shoulder down
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: after the player had gone down on the ground and
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: gave him the quota NFL referee terminology gave him the business.
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: That's what the claim was. I thought it was ridiculous.
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: What about the call at the end of the half? Okay,
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: go into that explain that.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: I would love to be able to come to you
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: all and give you a clear explanation of what happened
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: at the end of the half and why it was
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: adjudicated the way that it was, but I don't. I
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: talked to multiple people at halftime and then after the game,
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: and I still do not clearly have an understanding of
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: how that was put out there, because I've never seen
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: a personal fiul not be assessed, whether that was at
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: the end of the or whether that was to start
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: the second half. That basically became a phantom penalty that
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: did not exist for a late hit. Flag just disappeared, right, Yeah,
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: how does that happen? That's my question? And we'll find
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: out here tonight tomorrow. Someone's got to come up and
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: give us and there may and I hope they're right
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: for their case. I hope they're right, But I still
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: don't understand how you can commit a penalty and it
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: never gets assessed. That's what I don't know.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: They didn't pick up they did not pick up the flag.
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: They did not pick up the flag. They never said
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: they picked up the flag. It's personal foiule, How does
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: that not that's a that's a late hit if there
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: was one second they said there was one second left.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: But the only thing that makes sense is they got
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: together and decided it wasn't a personal foul, because otherwise
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: you have to assess the penalty.
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: So they called the personal file. He said it when
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: he announced it.
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: And am I making this up? I've watched football for
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: a long time. I think of all the cliche things
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: that are said, half can't end on a penalty has
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: been said four billion times by the defense. So yeah,
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: so it's easy. It can't be that, or maybe you
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: could assess it to start today, but if you didn't,
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: it had to be picked up. I had other explanation.
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: I had the clock operator at halftime explaining it to me,
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: and he says, you cannot run a play if there's
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: three or less seconds to go in the half and
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: you don't have a time out remaining, which West Virginia,
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: which fits West Virgin's case. And I said, but wait
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: a second, if there's one second and the play is dead,
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: and why can't the center snap it and when the
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: quarterback touches it, the clock starts, there's zero zero zero,
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: and you run a play, right. I don't understand that.
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, football has got unbelievably difficult rules at times,
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: and this is going to be one of those where
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: someone is going to come out here and give a
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: clear explanation of the next twelve to twenty four hours
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: as to why that happened. But at this moment, I
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: do not know.
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: They gave an explorent the MIC's the ref mic was bad,
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: but they gave an explanation, but it was still convoluted.
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: What did they say, by the way, why can we
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: put people on different planets and we can't get the
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: referees mic to work consistently? Can someone give me that answer?
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: Fair? Question? Didn't work right the whole game? We don't know.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, my cell phone doesn't work for a three
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: house stretch in my neighborhood. Wise that case, so three
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: specific houses. It just drives. Got the FBI circulent somewhere.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: I got a trap three houses hoppy.
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: So Nardoozi was not happy with the officials hier because
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: they committed fourteen penalties and.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: Maybe one more that wasn't assessed.
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: There maybe one more, did you. I'll tell you what.
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: Coaches are into it? But Tony, well, you had the monitor,
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: you had the video monitor, right, so I'm listening to
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: you and watching the game.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: There were a lot of cutaway shots to angry coaches
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: in that game.
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: It was some. It was some great stuff. At the
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: end of the half, Rich had a classic. He had
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: a finger up in the face. He was going he
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: was fine. It was classic. He was finding everybody. And
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: then my favorite part of him finding everybody as he's walking.
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: As he's walking and you think it's over because he's
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: already said it.
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: He's never over.
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: There's a there's an official to the side of him.
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: He engine starts yelling back at that guy before he
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: goes in.
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: He went full Glenville didn't and Jed, Jed always trying.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: Rich was back there.
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: Jed always tries to like take your like coach and
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: there's something something and rich And said have this come
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: in game half not ever he was he was still
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: on fire.
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll get more into this. But the uh, the
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: pit injuries seemed to be a lot of dehydration out there,
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: a lot of crampy at the end of the game
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: for Pitt. That's why they should visit Comac's Business Systems
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: because Comas has these unbelievable water machines. If Pitt had
• 58:34

  Speaker 2: That's Comax WUV dot com.
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: Can I ask you another question phishing question?
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: Sure?
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: So on the delay of game call against West Virginia
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: where the pit guy was was jogging off the field,
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: so another one did that start? But was that precipitated
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: by West Virginia making a late late substitute.
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: And Sara Bauers ran out there. Then they weren't sure
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: if he was supposed to be out there. He got
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: to the painted number and did a did a U
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: turn that allows Pitt to make a substitution.
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: And they drained they drained the clock the.
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: Clock as a result of that.
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: And so that's really kind of on West Virginia. I
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: mean the pit guy took it.
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you would. You wouldn't have given pit the opportunity
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: if you didn't make a sub Yeah, okay. Can I
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: say something, of course you can't about the about the
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: injury situation or guys just taking soccer flops in that game.
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: So I don't know where you stand on karma. Don't
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: know if you believe in it, don't know if you
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: buy into it. But this is kind of my thing. Okay,
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: you can't cheat the game. You can't cheat the game.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: You know how the game's supposed to be played, and
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: some might call it gamesmanship, but I say the football gods,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: small case g the football gods atop the sky last
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: night looked down on that and said, nah, that's not
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: how actually this thing is supposed to go. So there
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: needs to be a penalty paid. And you're gonna blow
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: a double figure lead in this game because you keep
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: jacking around and telling your guys to drop down, and
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: the football gods went, can't cheat the game. You got
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: to pay the price.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: So you're an instant karma guy.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: Instant karma is what you got, okay, And the long
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: term karma is that. Since sending out the mock tweet
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: of Neil Brown last year, after Neil made the comment
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: about having fun, PITT has now lost seven of its
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: last nine games.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: That's fun and you win that, know, you win that game,
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: and now the series goes away for three years. But
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: you got like you got it for a while. You
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: can hang on to that for a while to you
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: meet him again and whatever. It's twenty twenty nine.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: Text microphone, don't know how many seven of the last nine? Yeah,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: Texter third backyard.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: Lost six in a row end last season, right correct?
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: They won two this year against Duquesni in Central and
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: they've got to be here. So it's seven to nine, right.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: Text, seven out of so I've lost seven out the
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: last nine games. Yeah, yeah, you got that right.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: Since he sent that tweet out mocking Neil, sure, uh,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: Texter third backyard brawl in a roll that going that
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: not going forward on fourth and short and plus territory
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter yields to a collapse. Glad to
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: be on the right side this time. Think about that, right?
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: Not going for going for it? That was huge in
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: this series as the.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: About how about Rich going for it in his own.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: Territory that thirty five yard line, that's when he went
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: into the mountain near mash But.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: I felt like you had to at that point. I
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: thought game was on the line. Yeah disagree, Yeah, I
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 3: don't disagree. I mean, even if they had not gotten it,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: I still think you would have said you had to
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: go for it there.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: But just I guess more from just a massive moment
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: in that game that probably gets overlooked because there were
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: so many other massive moments. That was a big decision
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: and then execution to go ahead and get it and
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: keep that drive left.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: It might come back up. But we haven't talked enough.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: We talked about it a little bit. We haven't talked
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: about the nine man offensive line. That still makes me giggle.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: I'm very excited about that nine offensive lineman. Now here's
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: what you have. I call that the all beef patty
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: lineup right.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: It was a lot of you. You know, I have
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: to check total weight on that.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we should do that. Thousands of pounds. Texter, my
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: almost four month old's first backyard brawl. I couldn't put
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: her in a chair or anything because we came back
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: and won. So he's he's a karma guy, like he
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: thinks of he puts her down that the game's gonna go.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: I was screaming for them to get on that fumble
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: in the overtime and then she started to cry. But
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: it's okay, we got the dubb. Can't wait to take
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: her in person in four years, regardless where it's at.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: Great Win. Logan and Mannington text her, I always support
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: the Mountaineers no matter what, fake injuries and all that
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: other bs they try. But ultimately was stop some We
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: stomped some pit panther ass done, burnt everything burnable, got
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: the kids fired up. We're all fired up. Let's go
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: John and Alabama. Boy, it's nice to be a tough
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: team again. We physically whipped that panther tail. Toughness won
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: us that game. Physicality mentally. You kidded me that Nico
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: came in and delivered after being pulled, and Rich definitely
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: really is a better coach now than his last brawl.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: Not as Stubborn realized he made a mistake by pulling
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: Nico Swallow, his pride put him back in. Amazing fellas.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: Let's go have some more fun next week. Let's go
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: out here. I don't think it was a mistake to
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: pull Nico. I mean you needed you needed a lift.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: You thought Scotty Fox would give it to him, by
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: the way Fox did. Initially you got that long completion
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: and then they led him to a touchdown.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: So he's a young guy. Made mistakes.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: A lot of people, right, A lot of people had
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: asked that question and the text, and the text is
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: in the texts, why did you put Nico in there?
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: And so you mean Scotty Fox, I'm Scotty Fox, and
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: so first three possessions for Nico were field goal attempt
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: they missed it, punt touchdown, and then after that, West
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: Virginia had one to three four consecutive drives at the
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: end of the first half that led to punts, and
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: so Rich is thinking, okay, spark and he goes three
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: plays two yards on Fox's first and then seven plays
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: eighty yards on Fox's second, So he gave them the spark.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: And then obviously interception on the next drive by Fox,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: he does not pull him there, probably thinking okay, let's
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: get you to the sideline, deep breast, go back again.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: The second pick obviously unexpected, unanticipated, and certainly undesired. And
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: then obviously he went back to Jalen Henderson and then
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: to Nico, which went field goal, touchdown, touchdown. Yeah.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: I think that's the simplest explanation there was. There were
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: moments in that game when it looked like you were
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: going to need different skill sets in there to try
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: and do something. The running game was having trouble early
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: until ty Edwards was inserted. Then it started, but Pitt
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: was getting so much pressure on you looked like, so
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: that's why you try and mix some things in and
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: you bring Scotty in to see if you can throw
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: it but can also run it. And it didn't work.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: And as I said earlier, it's wild that the spark
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: ended up being Nico being reinserted. That would the spark
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: he was looking for was going back to the original starter.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: And they apparently they know well and you guys, you
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: guys know Nico. That's a guy that can come back in.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: He's not over there sulking. He can come back in.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: So JB lives in Roanoke, Virginia. Three guys, what a
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: damn football game. The definition of a backyard brawl. That's
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: the college football we love. I found myself not wanting
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: to leave the stadium tonight. My wife finally drugged me
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: out of there. I'm not a crier a boy. When
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: Country Roads hit after that fourth down stop, I had
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: a tear drop in my eye. What a magical night
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: in Morgantown. My voice will be gone for days. Let's
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: go Mountaineers and always esp It's like they always say,
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: you improve your most from week two to week three.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: JB. A crowd of something Tony excellent.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: Here's what we were referring to. Earlier. I love the
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: rye smile on the face of the West Virginia state
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: trooper who was standing behind Rich as he was giving
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: the officials a piece of his mind after the weird
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: sequence before halftime. I love the show JD Southern Coalfields.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: So here's Rich giving it to the official and we
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: have a state trooper there, I believe from the great
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: state of UH West Virginia. He's looking at the old referees. NA, yep,
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: what he says, that's right, But he says.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: I like like havin the police there too, that maybe
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: that helps a little.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: Bit with the officials. He's been standing there, hands on.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: Hips, UH Texter, Jeremy and Cooperstown. Serious question, guys, did
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: Rich hide tie Edwards from everyone? No? I think ty
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: Edwards obviously he was one of the four that got
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: laid eligibility and then he had to get back into shape.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: He was behind, had not practiced with the team during
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: all that eligibility stuff. Then he had a little bit
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: of a nag injury and then got back into it.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: So like it took that long for him to get
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: to go. I would suggest you listen to his postgame presser.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: He said some really interesting things about mindset, prayer, and
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: dealing with anxiety. Says he deals with anxiety, does not
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: like big crowds, which is not funny, but he has
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: to work through that. He has to work through that.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: What a workhorse too. That wasn't just where he came in,
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: because it was a couple plays down by the goal
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: line and you wanted to mash him up in there.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: That's twenty five carries for a dude that hasn't been
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: practicing full time so and was tremendous. And give a
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: little credit to John and Rocky Ganola there for you
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, they should they should get you
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: want to give out some game balls, give a game
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: ball to John and Rocky Ganola for in particular getting
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: Tie Edwards eligible there through his case isolations.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 3: He is a couple of things. What he got, he
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: got twenty five carries, He got banged up and was
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: still in there limp and some limp and some still
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 3: in there. First of all, and second of all, he's
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: deceptively fast. He's a big guy with all those strides.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: Yea, he shot through there a couple of those times.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: I was like, that's not the scouting report on him.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: Big dude.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: He played up is that you need them up there
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: in northern Iowa.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: You need them.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: That's where he played very good. Yeah, Cedar Falls, serial
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: capital the world. I believe that's Cedar Rapids SAE thing.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: See to get confusing. I understand how many what do
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: they got there? But how many.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: Cedars Cedar Falls, thear Rappins.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, there's two of them. I think there's two different ones.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: He was in Cedar Falls, I was through. I might
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: have been through both of them. Probably you were in
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: Cedar Falls for sure. I was in Cedar Rapins. No,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: I was in Cedar Falls.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: Beautiful on your big bike race. Beautiful town right by there.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: That's where I went. That's right, played in the UNI
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: Dome hop there in high school. You doctor Pepper All
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: Star Basketball Classic? Really, how'd you do? Fine? Eldon Miller
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: didn't offer me a scholarship though after the game. He
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: was the un I coach at the time. He was
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: there and didn't he saw you in h that's better.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: You would have never been one of the three guys.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: If he did, he'd already offered it to Cam Johnson
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: guard from ISO where they are too missed. I told
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: Eldon Miller that later when he came to Colseum, missed
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: Onion told him Texter anyway, ty Edwards creaking out.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: Legends this this goes back into the what do you
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: superstitiously believe karma stuff Justin and West Milford. I'm not
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: saying that this key the comeback, but good things happen.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: Every time I raised my middle finger with the broadcast
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: showed nardoozy, happy to do my part.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: Whatever I mean.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that works.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: Whatever works for you.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Hi, this is Dominic from Hurricane Dominic Hoe.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: Great guy.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: He's a great guy.

  Speaker 1: Top to him before the game, right before the game. Yeah,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: he was it the food court.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, cool. Just wanted to come here and say thank you.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: You guys were one hundred percent right. Brad's saying it's
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: never as bad as it looks. Stuck with me. That's
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: kind of the mentality I had going in. Even if
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: we played terrible, I was going to be there, belab
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: because you never know. That game was cinema. I ended
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: up in the front row of the student section with
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: my friends from the club tennis team. The ending of
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: that game was the best game atmosphere I've ever experienced.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: The student section was rocking. I'm texting this a couple
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: hours after the game. I'm excited for Morgantown to be
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: rocking tonight. It was really also nice to see Brad.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: My dad wanted to tell you hello after I sent

• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah Texter shout out to the host. I watched my

  Speaker 2: son r. J. Jackson score his first boys high school
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: soccer goal for Nitro in their ten zip win today.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: Then I witnessed rich Rod bringing a West Virginia team
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: back like the Louisville game in five. That very first
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: w game I ever attended in person was the seven
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: Pit game. It's haunted me since Rich Rod killed the curse. Tonight,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: Let's go Mountaineers. Glenn from Glenn Ferris. Three guys. A
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: victory for the Ages, A victory that seemed impossible in
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: recent times, A victory that despite all things that typically
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: doomed the world champion Mountaineers, including horrific officiating. A victory
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: that seems only rich and his blue collar approach to
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: the game and team culture would elicit. A victory for
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: this great state of the University will probably be wearing
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: the Old Golden Blue and Lawrence next weekend. And I'm
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: damn proud of the grit and determination shown by our
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: team this weekend. Glenn Glenn Ferris attendance today sixty two
• 1:12:03

  Speaker 2: get some spreads on stats to check this? Zach from Atlanta.

• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: brawl is. I'm not sure how y'all feel, but this

  Speaker 2: Pride of West Virginia three thirty, wiping tears from my eyes,
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: singing the national anthem as the West Virginia Airguard flew
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: over kick off to the end of the game, yelling
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: support of the years. I cussed the referees for trying
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: to give the game to pit. Wonder why rich Rod
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: changed quarterbacks? Wait to hear Sweet Caroline so we could
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: unload down Pitt sing our state anthem. After one of
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: the most exciting games a long time, eleven PM, I
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: finally arrived in my motel in Bridgeport. What a great
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: day to be a mountaineer wherever you may be.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: Only surprised he didn't get flat Wood's Gilmot in there.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: Couldn't get there that there. Probably well, he's always stayed
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: in Bridgeport. He's on his way down now. Probably Neil

  Speaker 2: from Greenbrier County rights in. This is kind of neat.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: Have you ever seen this before? Got a little bit
• 1:18:47

• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: what a game experience, almost over the emotion, but I
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: haven't felt like that at Mountaineer Field long time. My
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: dad passed away in April, and while this season has
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: been a little tougher than I'd expected, not being able
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: to call him during and after games, I couldn't help
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: but feel him there last night. It was unbelievable, but
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: the day couldn't have started any better. Three guys tailgate
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: watching these two legends hold court, make everyone's day who
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: met them. I was with buddies Josh and Chad, and
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: we said, whatever happens in the game, we're cool with
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: because that just made our day. But thankfully the Mountaineers
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: made it even better. Keep up the good efforting. Signed
