• 1:03
  Speaker 1: by Connley CPA Group, providing value beyond numbers. And those
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: numbers are coming up. All right, man, let's jump in.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: West Virginia falls to Kansas State. Forty five to eighteen
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: was the final score. It was ten to three after
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: a quarter. It was seventeen to ten at halftime. Obviously
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: should have could have would have been seventeen seventeen. Needed
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: to stick that one in there in the final seconds
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: on that gold to go situation. Well, actually it wasn't
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: even gold to go. It was fourth down from lakenside
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the two, but you know what I mean. And then
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: it was all over done. In the second half, Kansas
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: State outscores West Virginia twenty eight to eight. Building numbers together,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: it's forty five to eighteen. Kansas State now with one
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: loss in league play, and West Virginia now falls under
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: five hundred. Overall, they're three and four, and the Mountaineers
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: got a lot of questions. So on the program today,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: we'll look at the game break down, the numbers. This
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: numerical breakdown is a lot different than last week. Last
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: week you could say x y Z that's boom boom boom.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Why this one. A bunch of different stuff all came
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: into play in this one. So we'll get into that. Boys.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: As you know, folks, we don't talk before we start
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: specific sworn to silence and fucked about the game. We say,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: don't say a thing, don't say a thing. Then we're
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: just gonna let it rip. Normally we start with hoppies,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: obvious observations. Do you have those today? I do, I do,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I do not speak for mountaineer nation, but I can
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: read the room, and part of the room is you
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: got to fire Neil Brown, and that's that's but but
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I kind of I discount that because that's been around
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: for about four years now, So discount that. But what
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: is concerning is when you do read the room is
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: the what I think is the increasing number of mountaineer
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: fans who do not think that Neil Brown and this
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: staff are going to get it done, that this team
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: is that they are consistently, consistently, not always, but consistently
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: falling below expectations. And when you get to that, you know,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: in forty nine BC, Tony Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: You're going BC on this cross the Rubicon small waterway
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: in northern Italy.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: And when he crossed the Rubicon, it was a seminal
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: moment because it was the start of civil war in
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the Roman Empire, and it was the beginning of the
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: end of the Empire. There was no in other words,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: there was no there was no going back, no going back,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: And that's kind of what it feels like here that
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: if you haven't crossed the Rubicon, you're on the verge
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: of doing that where given how this season has gone,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: given how much of the previous seasons have gone, and
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I am not advocating for the firing of Neil Brown.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to make an observation that you are reaching
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: a point where it's going to be difficult for Neil
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Brown to come back from.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: That's number one.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: The second point is, oh, Okay, you're going to fire
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Neil Brown this week. No, this athletics director has said
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: repeatedly when these kinds of questions have come up, he's
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: not going to take that kind of action in the
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: middle of a season for a couple of reasons, because
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: what is he always said, I'm evaluating the program. I'm
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: not just going to go on individual wins and losses
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: or how angry the fans are this week. So if
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: you're doing that, if he's going to do what he
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: said historically he's going to do, he will wait until
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: the season is over before he would make any decision.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: So unless something unbelievable happens, you're not going to get
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: If there is going to be a change, you're not
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: going to get it in the middle of the season. However,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: if at the end of the season, he contemplates making
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: a decision. Then the question is, Okay, who do you
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: get next? And can you afford to do that? Because
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: we know the budget is tight, they got to come
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: up with this extra money he just got. Neil Brown
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: has got an extension of his contract for another three years,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: even though he took a little bit.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Of a cut and pay. So what would that cost.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Well, my math has it at about ten million dollars
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: for the remainder of the contract for three years. But
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: you have some runway there because you don't have to
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: pay that all at once. You would have to pay,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: according to the contract, seventy five percent of the remaining
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: amount for the duration of the contract, which means that
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: if you made a move for the next three years,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: you'd have to come up with another three million dollars
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: to pay Neil Brown. Then you got assistance, and I
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: don't know what that number would be, so that makes
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: it a more man manageable amount. So bottom line summation,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: you may have crossed the rubicon with much of mountaineer Nation,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: but second of all, you're not going to get an
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: action by.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: By Rin Baker in the middle of the season.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: And also when you if you do fire coach in
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: the middle of the season. It immediately opens the portal,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: so you would get plucked like a Thanksgiving turkey before
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: the season was even over. It would decimate the program.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: That's my that's my Hoppies. Obvious observations, very good center.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: So's a that's a more longer term view over the
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: next couple of months. The shorter term view is is
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: there enough time to turn and find some wins. You know,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: we'd talked all summer that these first two months were
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: just brutal from a schedule standpoint, not just the non
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: conference schedule, but just the way this conference season opened up.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: And it concludes the first two month stretch with a
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: trip to Arizona. That's going to be a difficult stretch,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: albeit against a team that's struggling as well, that's lost
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: three games in a row. So there is some some
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: thought that you look ahead, and it's part of why
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: you would evaluate these at the end of the season.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Also just say, okay, finish it out here. Yeah, you've
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: you've you've underperformed comparative to your expectations, but there's still
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: games left here to see. But listen, this Arizona game
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: is gonna be tough, and since an Adie is better, right,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: UCF probably should have had Iowa State last night, say
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: for a really questionable pass interference call that gave Iowa
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: State a chance to punch it in late. So no
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: gimmes coming coming in the next six games, five games whatever.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: The really concerning part of this though, and we've said
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: this a lot, that the first few games you see
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: things and you can you can write them off as well.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: That was a one offer that just happened in this game.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: There's just two troubling themes that have developed around this team,
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: and these are the hard things to see fixable moving forward.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Can they be? Don't know, but here's the things, and
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: they're pretty obvious. The inability to prevent the big pass
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: place that has hurt you all season and has not improved.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: It happened again last night. We'll get it down into
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: some of this in the first half where you were
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: around this in giving a shot at it. Now give it.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: How it turned out, and given your injuries, the second
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: half probably gets away from you either way. But the
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: big pass plays there again, that just can't be happening
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: in game seven. There's just no other way to say that.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: And then the turnovers. Guys, just there you are again
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: with turnovers and one turns into points, which is just
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: absolutely soul crushing to you. There's four teams in the
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: country with a worse turnover margin than West Virginia. Those
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: four teams have a record of nine to nineteen. TCU
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: is the only one that's above five hundred and four
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: and three. So it's just again, I hate to simplify it.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: We can talk about some more things, but the defense's
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: inability to stop big pass plays and cover and the
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: offenses inability to keep the ball gets you where you
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: are at this point.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Points off turnovers last night were ten to zero rough math.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I went through this morning the remaining teams on West
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Virginia's schedule. They're like three games over five hundred. I
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: didn't write it down. I think it's ninth. I think
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: they have an overall record right now of nineteen and sixteen.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: So to your point, there are wins potentially that are
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: sitting there. However, as you look at the remaining schedule
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: going forward, it has changed in its perception of when
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: loss compared to where we were four weeks ago. Right,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: you looked at it four weeks and you and you said,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: you go get Cincinnati Baylor, Okay, take care of it,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: you seef, take care of it. Not to say that
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: that's not going to happen now, but they've become more difficult.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Baylor shows it has life. It goes to Tech, it
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: goes to Texas Tech. That was a seminal moment yesterday
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: in their game, because if they would have laid down,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: then they're probably their goose is cooked, right, and then
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: ucef you thought maybe they might be done done because
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: they got kicked around. Obviously, Iowa State came out flat
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: and as you said, they had to win, should have
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: had to win. And so all of a sudden that
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: takes on a different look. And in Texas Tech, despite
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the fact that they lost, you could see, Okay, they're
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: they're a lot better than your thought before it scene started.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: So the point all this is like, there's nothing nothing easy.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: We knew the first seven games. We knew the first
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: seven games we're going to be the challenge, and we
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: said this team will define itself in the first seven games.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Really count because there's one okay on their airs on
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the sure. But so that's the problem, that's the problem.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: You weren't able to get enough positive out of this
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: first chunk going forward. So now you have this massive
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: moment as to which way this thing is going to swing,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: because we often say teams, as the season goes on,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: they get to a point they're either doing a climb
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: or they go off the cliff and they go down.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Well, Steve Dunlap on our coverage loves to quote don
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: niel and who who coached a little football, and don
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Neilan would say, six games in you kind.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Of are you who you are?
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: And we have seen teams historically Tony West Virginia teams
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: that you start with expectations or then at some point
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: you go, you know, it's just not it's for a
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: variety of reasons. And spreadszone stats more that just not
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: going to work, just not going to happen for a
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: variety of reasons.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Well that's why I point out those two things. I mean,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: that's that's starting to be in your DNA. But bad
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: pass coverage and turnovers, I mean, it's it's it's every
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: time we come in here after a loss, we're saying
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: those two things, right, and that's that's the stuff that's
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: hard to overcome. And listen, guys, now you're in a
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: position to as you look forward to try and try
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: and see if you can get some of this life
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: back in. You got all these injuries piled up. That
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: was an unbelievable injury game last night. Case State was
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: extremely physical. Sometimes those hits, I thank you my goodness.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: By the way, I don't know what targeting is anymore.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: It's not done trying to evaluate what targeting is. Well,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: but you've you've lost some really key guys moving forward,
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: that becomes even more difficult. Now. You know.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Another thing about that game is that West Virginia made
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: a conscious decision We're gonna stop getting. We're gonna stop
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: the run're gonna stop Avery Johnson.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Front.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Of course, Johnson didn't run at all, I think not
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: one time because probably because the hip injury. But so
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: you say, okay, we're gonna stop the run. We're gonna
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: force Johnson, who hasn't been a great password to beach.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: And you know what he did, lined up and beat
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: you made plays. So you're you're just not good enough, Brad.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: You can maybe do a thing, but you're not good
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: enough to do more things in order to win the game.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well you can't. You can't give away possessions and
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: you can't give away points that that's where that margin
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: for error in these games is so thin. Those are
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: hard to overcome. You you lose your you lose well
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: more than fifty percent of your games. When you throw
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: a pick six, your win probably belly immediately takes a
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: dive under fifty percent and goes down from there. So
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: you do that stuff, it's just hard to overcome all.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: I'll go through a bunch of numbers here in a minute,
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: but quite frankly, it doesn't matter. Those are the two
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: things big pass plays, turnovers ballgame.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not really hard, right, It's not.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Really hard here, and you know, last night was always
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: going to be a tough matchup. Personal opinion, I think
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Kannastate is the best team in this league. I think
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: they're really good. They do some things well. The Iowa
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: State thing last night, hop as I was watching it,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: it just it irritated me more because that was the
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: run defense I thought you would be able to take
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: advantage of. Right, UCF goes for three hundred plus almost
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: four hundred yards on the ground against that vaunted Iowa
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: State defense. They give up the run, They give up
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: the run, and West Virginia wasn't able to take advantage
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: of it. That was a week late on what those
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: numbers told you you could do against Iowa State. We
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: talked last Thursday. This was not a great matchup for
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: West Virginia. But defensively, and I'll get into some of this.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Defensively again, you wipe out those giant pass plays, which
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: you can't do because you do it every game.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: You did.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: You did the game plan that you want to execute
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: every game. What do you do best? We want to
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: take it away? Can you go beat us doing something
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: that you don't do well? Kansas State did. West Virginia
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: wasn't able to rant it enough in the first half
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: to be in it, but the mistakes set you back.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Then you have to go throw it, and West Virginia
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: couldn't beat Kansas State throwing it.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: This will be old news by the time you'll listen
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: to this. But they did just release game time for Arizona. Oh,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: what is it? Seven pm Eastern? Four pm Arizona time
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: seven pm Eastern, So that means West Virginia will play
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: in the light in Arizona, kick off at four o'clock. Okay,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: all right, moving on spreads on stats coming up. Three

  Speaker 1: working on them. Last week, the numbers didn't jive with
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: what we saw on the field. Do these numbers jive
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: with what we saw in the field? My guess is yes.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Well, if you if the game stopped at halftime, they
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: would they would be like Iowa State numbers. You'd look
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: at it and go, Okay, you're right there. You're doing
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: exactly what you have to. The game got away from
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: me in the second half. They ran out of the gym.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: But the first half, Yeah, there's some numbers that you're like, Man,
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: that which I'll get Just hit the music, I'll get
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: into it.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, why you gotta treat me like
• 16:40

• 16:47
  Speaker 3: the music.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I'll shut up all of a sudden, It's like that
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: train song. Play that song spreads on Stats is our
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: breakdown of the analytics of a mountaineer contest, brought to
• 17:01

• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Conley CPA Group. S all right, man, what the numbers say?
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Let's go back and talk about what we talked Thursday.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: See how that's stacked up. We came into this saying
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: talking about the rushing game from both teams, who would
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: win the rushing battle? On that we said case States
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: opponents had averaged thirteen and a half out of sixteen
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: when it comes to rank of Big twelve rushing offenses.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: So the thought was, what can West Virginia run here?
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: They're the fifth ranked rushing team. Come in this game.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Hop first half it was there ran for one hundred
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: and forty five yards in the first half, nearly six
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: yards per carry. You were executing that part of your
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: game plan on the flip side. On the flip side,
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: you had absolutely bottled up the nation's fourth leading rusher
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: and DJ Giddenons just couldn't do anything. You're right, hop
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Avery Johnson wasn't running. We talked about that on Thursday
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: and speculated they may not try and run him except
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: in high leverage situations given the hip injury. He hadn't
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: carried the ball since returning from the hip or the
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: oblique whatever it was that they didn't against you. So
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: you were down. You had successfully got them to not
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: run their quarterback who was second league in rushing yards
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: for a quarterback behind Garrett, and you were handling DJ Giddens.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: You were doing exactly what you had to do. The
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: big play got you if your k state. You look
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: at this first half, so West Virginia's running it and
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: having success there. You ran forty five percent of your
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: plays in Kansas State's territory in the first half. Well,
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: if I would have told you that on Thursday, those
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: two numbers, you would have said, Okay, you're right there.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: In this k State had just ninety two yards of
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: offense in the first half. Other than that sixty yard
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: touchdown play, they were averaging just five yards per carry
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: eight rush yards on the game in the first half.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: So you talk about an opportunity was there, And again,
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: given the way things played out and the injuries that came,
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: you probably don't win last night anyway. But then that
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: first half you were executing first half time of possession
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: twenty and a half minutes to nine and a half minutes.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: You ran forty four plays to their nineteen. Look at
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: that stuff. But let's use a basketball number since basketball
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: seasons underway. Kansas State ten points off turnovers.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, right, Yeah, you're a out.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Of deflections for them. They got their hands on a
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: lot of balls. Yeah, led to the interceptions. Avery Johnson, Hoppy,
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: you said it. You lined up and said, all right,
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: you're not gonna beat us running the football. You're gonna
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: have to throw it to win. Avery Johnson was effective,
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: and the receivers made plays. He walked out of there
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: with an eighty eight grade from Pro Football Focus. That'll
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: end up being one of the higher quarterback grades in
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: college football this week. Hey, it's one of the things
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: they do with Avery Johnson that this is what becomes
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: maddening too. Not only did they big play a couple
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: of those times, he was fourteen of nineteen on passes
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: less than ten yards from the line of scrimmage. It
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: just sat back there and just whenever they needed, just
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: right up, just so they big plage you two times
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: when they needed it. Other than that, he's just standing
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: there throwing balls just underneath and brand.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Did West Virginia get any pressure on him.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: No, but some of that I just said, nineteen passes
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: on less than ten yards, there's not time to pressure him, right,
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: So no, they got none. But if you're throwing the
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: ball and a lot of those came at the line
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: of scrimmage were five yards down, I'm pushing it to
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: go to ten. He only had eight passes of ten
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: yards or more beyond the line of scrimmage. He passes
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: didn't need to correct, We didn't run it, and still
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: was It was just marched down the field. So it's
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: almost like that was their running game.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: That those little so they were going trips and they
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: were just you know, you talk about death by a
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: thousand paper cuts. Yeah, that one that just makes you scream,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: absolutely makes you scream. It was just stealing five, six,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: seven yards, eight yards boom.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: Conversely, on the other side, West Virginia seemingly every time
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: they dropped back to pass there was just nobody available.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: You were throwing everything into contested coverage. Receivers were having
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: to fight guys off to try and make catches. It
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: was just you just did not move the ball. You
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: were totally ineffective in your pass game as a as
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: a result, this won't surprise you. But to back up
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: what you saw, West Virginia with a season low on
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Pro Football Focus, of the twelve categories that are graded
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: by Sunday morning when we record a season low, and
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: seven of those twelve, an eighth category was just a
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: tenth off. So in essence, eight categories of seasons low
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: across your twelve.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Do you have some of those? Like, what are those
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: the season loss? Yeah, yeah, standby, hop stand by, stand by,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: stand by. I guess if like if we edited the podcast.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Then this time we'd like say three to two to one,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: stop and then rolled again.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: For all grade offensive grade, past grade, past block grade,
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: receiving grade, run grade, defensive grade run defensive, sorry not run,
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: defensive grade. Scratch. That tackling grade was the one that
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: was one tenth off for a team that had been
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: rated number one in the conference in tackling grade in
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: West Virginia, and then coverage grade.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: West Virginia was number one according to PFF and the
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: conference intact. These are the top two prior to yesterday. Correct,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: that's what you saw.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: So there you go. I mean I have a million more.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know that it matters, guys. Yeah, this is
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: one of those set would It just doesn't matter. There's
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: there's some of your numbers. You played one of your
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: worst games of the year, multiple starters injured in the
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: second half, so any life you had again, I thought, guys,
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: I thought you were done with the pick six. I
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: thought that's basically over. They did get up off the mat,
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: came back with the drives that you had one hundred
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: and sixty yards of your total offense in those two drives,
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: march down the field twice. I agreed with the decision
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: to go for it rather than kick the field goal.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: You were going to have to score, and obvious, I
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: said at the time on our broadcast, I just thought
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: you had to do something unconventional to counteract really giving
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: up a pick six. So you had to do something
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: to try and take that back. That going for seven
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: right there would have given you a little bit of life. Again,
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: maybe it falls apart in the second and I.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Don't know, And just to drill down, I don't know
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: what went wrong with that pass, whether Garrett didn't see him,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: but I mean Cole Taylor.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Was, he was open. So Neil addressed that postgame press conference,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: and I hadn't thought about this potential up until that,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: But Garrett very well could have been concussed prior to that,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: and he could have been who knows when you're out there.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, they didn't have an idea that he was
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: at that point. He might be running out there and
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: who knows what's going on in his head. But yeah,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: obviously it was a good call. Cole Taylor was there
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: for it. Couldn't deliver the ball, so that would have
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: tied it up.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: You're right, it was a nice little there. Was a
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: little pick play kind of that was there for one
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: of the few times all night officials did not throw
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: a flag, so they didn't see that and Cole Taylor
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: sprung open. Garrett did have some traffic in front of him,
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: So even if there wasn't an injury situation, there's traffic
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: and it just wasn't execute.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: I'm not surprised that that Green got a can cust.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was brutalized in the first half.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: I think this. I think that so your point, Brad,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: that West Virginia ran for one hundred and fifty yards
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: one hundred fifty, one hundred and fifty five what was it,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: one hundred and forty five hundred what you're going in
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: the first half. Yeah, but Garrett had eighty eight of
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: those correct. Okay, So West Virginia's plan was, Okay, Kansas State,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: you're not going to run it. Correct. I think Kansas
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: State's plan was, to an extent, Okay, when Garrett Green
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: runs it, we are going to absolutely punish him. We're
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: going to absolutely punish him and try to take him
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: out of the game. And they were successful in doing that.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: There was the replay that television kept showing with Mott
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: their defensive end after the pick, driving them down.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: I don't know how that's not a flag nant.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, driving them down into the ground. I mean, that
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: was their intent. Nico then just took a helmet full
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: later in the game in.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: The chin and that's not targeting, but yes.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: And they don't wave it off, So like, I mean,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: I get it. That was their intent to physically hurt you,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: and I get it. And that's football. I mean, you know,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: don't think West Virginia doesn't go out there trying to
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: do the same thing. But they were successful in doing it,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: and as a result, everything went spiraling down.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Both teams had the right plan, because West Virginia's plan is, Okay,
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: you're gonna put your guys on an island and drop
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: everybody down and run support and you're gonna try and
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: play man. Then what does that open up? If you're
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: gonna pin your ears and just come straight at the
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: quarterback like they were, what's that open up? That's why
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: quarterback draws and runs. So the counter to the way
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: Kansas State wanted to play aggressive defense is you run
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: your quarterback, and the risk reward there is That's what
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Kansas State's saying is okay, you want to run your quarterback,
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: then we're going to make him pay physically. West Virginia's
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: risk is we've got to run our quarterback. He's our
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: most dynamic playmaker, and the defense is dictating that that
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: is going to be available. Well, guess what was available
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: Garret running football. He'd make a lot of plays with
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: his feet right, and just unfortunately the number of hits
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: that came prevented him from being able to continue. Now,
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: you hope the kids all right moving forward?
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Certainly? Yeah, I mean it was it took.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: That's as hard as a quarterback's been hit in a
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: long long time.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And to your point, you don't know, right Wyatt
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: mile Im Jaheem White and Garrett Green and Neil said this.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: He addressed it known. When they come out, they say
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: upper body injury, Garrett and Neil said head injury. He said, yeah,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: he did say head injury. So we're talking about concussions.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: They were ruled out in some form. So now what
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: happens is they do their base testing before the season
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: ever starts, and now these guys are going to be
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: tested and whether or not they get cleared to go
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: again this coming week or is it two weeks, don't know,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: but that's the reason. In addition to a couple of
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: defensive linemen were also lost. You started the game without
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Aubrey Burks, without Aiden Garns.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Jackson super limited. He tried to go.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: He tried. Give that kid a ton of credit. He
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: looked like Red Fox out there. Remember Red Fox? Remember
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: that show? What was that show called Sanford and Son? Right,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: he's dragging his leg like, just trying to get off
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: the field here and it just give the kid credit.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: He tried all night long.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: I'd say the same about Garrett too. In fact, that
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Garrett kept getting up and going back in there with
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: that the abuse he was taking. Give him a lot
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: of credit for that. But man, that was those were
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: some hits. So anyway, so the point of those numbers
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: just showed you that the first half was there for
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: the taking, and you just couldn't. You just couldn't overcome
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: the two things that have plagued you all season.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: All right, spreads on stats brought to us by Conley Cpiegor.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: There wasn't anything in their individual grades of any sort
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: that have made it would make any.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Doesn't doesn't make a difference.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Negative.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for the dead of the order, don't need to
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: go into into zione.

  Speaker 1: value beyond numbers. It's commonly CPA group. Let's do this.

  Speaker 1: Textual healing is brought to us by episode eight hundred

• 28:40
  Speaker 1: to chime in and you can check out all of
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: our merchandise out at episode eight hundred dot Com. All right,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: So I was thinking earlier today when I was copying
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: and pasting the texts that come in. They come in
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: on our Google text line and then we uh on
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: the Google on the Google machine, and then I and
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: I paste them over. So when I when I sat
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: down early this morning to start doing the copy and paste, like,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: I went to myself and went like, well, this is
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: gonna this is gonna be fun. So the reality of it,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: the reality of it is is is this. So. I
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: don't remember when when textual healing started. I don't remember
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: if it was football or basketball season, but the way
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: that it started was something wasn't going well and I said,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: you know, we need we need some healing. I mean,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: we need we need some textual here. I just set
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: it off off the cuff. I said, we need textual healings.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Let's see what people have to say. That's how this
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: thing started. It was it was anngst. It was it
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: was ankst driven and over the over the years, I
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: guess now the thing. The thing has grown. And I
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: haven't talked with these guys about this yet. The thing
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: has grown and a couple things, one game related and
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: the other was non game related stuff. So I've had
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: kind of I don't know if I want to call
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: these epiphanies, but I've got I've got two thoughts about this.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: One is obviously coming off of the loss. An extreme
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: number majority of the texts basically are saying the same thing,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: and so we could you could, you could read all
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: of them, but they're the same thing, right. Everyone continues
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: to point out the record against teams that are ranked
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: the overall record. I mean, it just is a continuing
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: theme and theme and theme. So you could read all
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: of those. But I think that what I'd like to
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: do is just address them, you know, in a chunk,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: rather than doing all that's one thing. The other thing,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: And again this is something I haven't talked to these
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: guys about. This could this bread. Could this maybe set
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: set some trouble up here? What we don't know what
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: it is. So I don't know what it is, but
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: you are you nervous a little bit when I say
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: I got something that I haven't talked with about these guys.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: At this point, because you just say it anyway. So
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: we'll ad just after you say it.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Just so this is hard, opponent adjusted, so so that
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: this next part, this next part is hard. It's it's
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: all buddy, No, It's it's kind of like, hey, listen,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: need a hug. No, it's kind of like, hey, listen,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: we had a great relationship that I want to see
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: other people. It's not you, it's me. It's not you.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: It's not you, it's not me. So we get these
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: we get these wonderful, heartfelt messages that are sent by
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: people about you know, connection coming to the food court
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: and you I got this great story and to you,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: it is a great story, right, and it's your special
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: story and that's awesome. But I also have kind of
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: again just me, I've also reached my point with that too.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like, Okay, I get it, I understand it.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: And so we'll show some of the pictures from the
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: food court, and you know it's kind of like this picture.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: This person stands next to this person and they hold
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: the beer can and they had a thing like Okay, fine,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: I think we'll expedite. We'll expedite that. I can't like
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: everyone's got their things. So what we'll do maybe is
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: we'll build a montage and just say, hey, we were
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: at the food court and here's a lot of people
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: that had a lot of fun. And that's good because
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: I get it. I think that it gets tiring. So like,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: like I said, I didn't talk to these guys about that,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: but it's like, Okay, been there, done that, thanks for coming,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: thanks for having us.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, when you're the sort of the executive producer,
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't go that far. Well, probably would.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't go that far anyway, So let's do this.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: I did talk some great people on Saturday.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: I talked to some great people on Friday.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: I had fun.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: I had fun too. I don't know what Tony's problem is.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: He's not having fun anymore. I think I think.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: You had a lot of good conversations Saturday, did you.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: I had a lot. Yeah, it's not listen, it's not
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: that I enjoy it.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: I just you just had a Freudian slip. He said,
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: it's not that I enjoy it. No, it's not that
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: I don't enjoy it. It's just that I think from again,
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: I'm putting myself in the listeners, like if I'm listening
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: to this podcast, like it kind of sounds the same.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, well you you've done so, you've dug your hole.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, No I care, that's fine. I want to
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: be the first time I'll dig myself out of it.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: So what I want to use and I'm going to
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: I've got some like if it's super super super good,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: like I got some stuff that's good in here today
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: that's really meaningful stuff like like a big stuff. But
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: if it's just like hey, I saw happy he looks
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: older in person than like, I'm probably use that like
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Like I just go like, okay,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: fine whatever, Just I just want good stuff, all right,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: If that's fine. I mean, that's fine. I mean I've
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: even I've even considered, like considered maybe there's like the
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: ten best texts. Well, I would say, can I say
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: one other thing whichever you want? Is that.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Is that this this show and connection three four and
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Homeless Dave and Revkev and the Tailgate. I mean, it's
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: created something. It we're very we're very fortunate that it's
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: created a community, okay, And we exist to do this
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: podcast because there is this community and that that's important,
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: that needs to be that needs to be valued. And
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying you'resting it. And I think that the
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: fact that people take the time to come to the
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: Tailgate or send us texts or or or talk to
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: us and the Kroger indicates that that there's this community
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: and people want to be part of it. And I
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: think that has tremendous value.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: One hundred percent. I don't disagree. What I'm saying is
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: not everyone's text is getting red. Okay, Well you could
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: just said that ten minutes ago. I mean, that's just
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: it's like, okay, anyway, I guess probably didn't do a
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: good job of being clear on that. What I'm saying is, well,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: you you right now? Are you just taking pages out? No?
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: For some reason, it kept printing all these empties. There's
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: all that I did that. I'm sorry, they're all blank. Well, okay,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: so let's do get in touch with Comax. Well, all right,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: big topic stuff first back to football, then we'll do
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: the other stuff. And you kind of addressed us earlier
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: and when you started off, and that is, you know,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: we're just talking about basic themes you talked about, you know,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: the record, the perception, the momentum, the belief, the non belief.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Where are we, what's happening? Obviously we have reached a
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: pivotal a pivotal moment to the rubicon, the rubicon, and
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: you know, so I guess kind of how we're already addressed,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: you know, what you think potentially is going to happen
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: in the sense of what our options to happen as
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: the season.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Goes right right, Happy to restate at some point with
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: a different angle if that comes up. But that's where
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: I think, that's where I'm confident things are.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's kind of generally where we are as
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: a whole. Like for for folks that I think that
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: are thinking that something is going to be done in
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: regard to a review in the middle of the season,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: that's not going to happen. Well, there there's always a review.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, a decision, a decision. I think the big
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: one of the biggest things that you said is. I
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: think sometimes folks forget that if you were to make
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: any decisions regarding your coach anywhere, the thirty day window
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: opens in the transfer portal, and you know, there are
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: just certain things that you would be pulling a trigger
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: and blowing something up that would make not a whole
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: lot of sense.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: And Ren Baker, we know Ren Baker well enough to
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: know this, and that is he wants Neil Brown to
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: win like everybody else. But Brad, he's not just sitting
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: there myopically thinking Neil Brown has to win and I
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: have no other option. His job is to think is
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: to play chess correct.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah it is, and that's why he's doing and he's
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: playing this out and he'll look at it. But also remember, guys,
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: it was just six months ago that Ren thought enough
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: of what was happening in the program to offer a
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: new contract right and change that. So that's part of
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: it too. That's why it's your six weeks into this,
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: seven weeks into this keeps seeing where it's going and
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: can't be something that can continue on or do you
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: have to make a change.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Right Lewis and Louisbourg, I'm a realistic fan. I know
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: eight and four nine and three is a really good
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: season for West Virginia. But at this point watching the
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Mountaineers like having to drive ten miles to get to
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: your destination, but you only got enough gas for nine.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: You hope that you can drift, go downhill, catch a
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: tail wind, but you deep down you know you're gonna
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: come up short. Lewis in Louisbourg next, Texter. I thought
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: the offense would be our strength this year. Texter. Here
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: you go Friday evening, pre game, pre UC game, pre
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: UC game. Oh, I see basketball, Dave, Mike from Myrtle,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: the Dean and Dan Heinzman. After some Rev keV barbecue
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: and wings connection. Three oh four, there you go, Hoppy
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: and the new guy the Jakes pregame signed by Mike.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Not in myrtle.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: Those are pictures.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: There were some pictures, but they're not there. Okay, uh,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: good evening, guys. My wife and I finally made it
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: to rev K didn't disappoint. Food outstanding followed up a
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: couple of beers I stood by. A young gentleman approached
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: us and said he was impressed by my full sleeve
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: tattoo was awesome and was thinking about getting his first tattoo.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: The three of us spoke. It turned out we all
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: had similar life experiences. Were both in West Virginia, both
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: went to West Virginia. We all call Morgantown home. All
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: three of us have had our ups and downs, as
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: most do. We refreshing to hear his perspective on life.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: As gentleman is from the eastern Panhandle, while I grew
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: up in the southern part of the state, owned some
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: property in Summers County. Was both grown up around cattle.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: We both put our fair share of hay away. I
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: guess you could say it was a West Virginia connection.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: As you may have guessed, I was speaking to your
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: very own Hoppy Kerchival. An absolute pleasure speaking with Hoppy.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: We appreciated him taking time to make his rounds. Although
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: I may have caught him off guard when I jokingly
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: introduced myself as Andy kottel Nikki. He did love the show.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: Let's go him out in here as wild Bill and
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: wonderful k and Morgantown.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: We had to go ahead, brandam oh God, well, just
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: we had a great visit. And that's one of the
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: great things. Connection three or four to tailgates you as
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: you meet people he didn't know previously, and had a
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: wonderful visit with with Bill and Kay and they'd been
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: married for about a year and we just exchanged life stories.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: You know, people are interesting and if you just you
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: and I think at West Virginia it's okay with asking
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: personal questions and sharing some personal information. So within fifteen
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: minutes you get life stories, which I think are fascinating.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he said something in there that you're contemplating
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: a tattoo.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Well, I thought he had a wonderful sleeve and had
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: all West Virginia like WVU and the black Bear and
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: the Monarch Butterfly and the Cardinal. It was really fantastic.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: And you know, I think about it from timetime, but
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: I thought, I'm almost seventy when I'm going to tattoo now,
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: so I probably won't. But his wife had some ink
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: as well, But it was it was just I just
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: I like talking to people.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: You should get one. I'm tear drop ones right underneath
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: your eye.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm thinking about getting a something on my neck.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: I think neck tattoo.
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: Thank goodness, I'm glad you had a wonderful conversation. But thank goodness,
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: he mentioned Daniel Andy kotel Nikki.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: I know, how was it?
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: He had a streak alive. Well done he did.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: He introduced himself and and I looked at him, and
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: he did catch me off cars.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: Well done by owner. Three guys. Brought to us by
• 41:13

  Speaker 1: I'm going to go to lou Wendell and they got

• 42:20
  Speaker 2: there's the clements, you know what, you hang out and
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: in this past week I think that homeless Dave did this.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: There were there were some camping chairs and a fire
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: at the fire and a fire going.
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: It's like being on your back patio.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well it was. It was a nice touch. Yeah,
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Dave doesn't miss no. Okay. So when I said, well anyway,
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: I'll do that in a second for spreads with your
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: twenty five different analytics subscriptions, I'm curious, what's the success
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: rate on our screen passes?
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: I can't pull that up quickly. I can effort that.
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: I can't get that.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Also, I was listening to the basketball post game Friday night.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: Someone mentioned how good teams make easy things look really easy,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: and that the basketball team did that, albeit against lesser competition. Unfortunately,
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: this football team makes the easy things look very very hard.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: All right, So here's a really good text coming up. Hey,
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: three guys. I'm sorry for the long text, but this
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: is a really cool story. If you remember, I wrote
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: into the show during the summer series while my son
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: was having major open heart surgery in Philadelphia. Fast forward
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: a few months, my son was chosen to participate in
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: a special program Virginia Tech and the clinic partner in
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: many of the areas of the medical field. My son
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: was selected to be one of the children to participate
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: in the T shirt design and swap with a Virginia
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: Tech player. A huge shout out to Nick Gallo for
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: being such an awesome guy and for just loving on
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: my son. This past Thursday, which was my birthday, my
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: son got to be an honorary captain for the Boston
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: College Virginia Tech game. He and I got to go
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: to the sideline for warm ups, pregame, and her sin
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: and he was then recognized and honored on the field
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: for his heroics. He's such a warrior and inspiration. During
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: our visit, we were treated like kings, met Michael Vick,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: even the Hokey Bird. It's a very special and memorable event.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Now there is a West Virginia connection. Though our Virginia
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Tech guide was the daughter of two dou WV grads,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: a big time mountaineer. Of course she was. We got
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: to talk mountaineer football during our visit. Of course, to
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: be courteous, we wore Virginia Tech gear, but underneath I
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: wore WUVU gear. We always have to represent. Then came Saturday,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: and yeah, that happens, so we won't talk about that.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: I've attached some pictures from the event. I thought Matt
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: from Tulser was going to just own his own brother
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: for wearing Virginia Tech gear. There you go, take a look.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: So he's got the hokey stuff, but underneath he's got
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: the WV None of that matters though when it comes
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: to kids, as always, let's go mountaineers. Then from Roanoke
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: kind of puts it in prospect. Yeah how about that. So
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: major heart surgery and then he had a T shirt
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: designed contest and they took good care of him down
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: there in Blacksburg. And there he is on the big
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: screen before the game, and there's Michael Vick saying hello,
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: that's awesome, and the bird and the bird the hooky.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: It is kind of neat though it underneath that he's
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: got not near stuff.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: Kind of probably best also to keep that on the
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: down low when you're there, all.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: Right, Texter, I'm not here to place blame or pretend
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: that I've got answers, because that's not helpful. I'll simply
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: state what myself and most others likely feel as well.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: The second half was embarrassing. It's sad that we had
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: a primetime, nationally TV televised game and put on that
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: type of a performance. The classic uniforms only made me
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: long for the good old days even more, hoping those
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: days come again sooner than later. Josh and Mason, Texter,
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: Brad and Charleston Rights, Well, that sucked. At least Philip
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: Bowen showed up. There is Philip Bowen. Didn't you all
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: have a meeting with Philip Bowen a Friday? Well, I
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: wouldn't call it a meeting. I mean it was a
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: It was a hello. He's a great guy. He stopped by.
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: He and his brother stopped by. It was nice to
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: see him. Ask where how he was?
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they did ask. We're happy with so Philip Bowen
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: one of the great musicians here from West Virginia. And
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize his brothers. His brother I d d
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: himself as a P one listener.
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: Really yeah, it was very nice.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: He's a fantastic musician. I've interviewed him a couple of times.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: Great guy he is. He is amazing. Uh Texter high
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: three guys love the show. I on from Morgantown, graduated
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty. My dad's been to every home game
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: since nineteen eighty something, hasn't missed one out near football
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: a constant for my family. So my husband and I
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: couldn't imagine a better place to drop our news than
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: at our tailgate this weekend. We are pregnant and the
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: newest Mountaineer will be with us next season.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: I love the show. Listen reminds me of home while
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: living in Enemy Country also known as Pittsburgh. Signed by
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: Miranda from Morgantown.
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: Whole cool.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: Right when you are the tailgating, someone says, hey, we've
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: got some got some news. We got a whole fertility
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: thing going there at three guys there.
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: Are well, I don't know you can take credit for that?
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: What are you saying? What does that mean?
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: Well, well, congratulations to Miranda and you know her family.
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: But I don't know that credit.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, I might have overstepped my bounds there, but now
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: I love it when people come with their families because
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: at Friday there was a couple there who've come who
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: bring their baby who I think is three months old, Claire.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: And then Friday there was a couple there that had
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: a seven week old baby seven weeks.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: And her sister was there and had two young boys
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: who had I think they had I think they hit
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: the sugar man. They were just like crushing the places,
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: running around.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: They were nuts. But it was an and that's a
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: family atmosphere. But it's nice. But a seven week old baby. Wow? Yeah,
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: you know what we haven't done? What basketball?
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Good start to the Darren DeVries era. You want to.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: You didn't roll any numbers on that, yeah, I mean
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: there's nothing available on your megasystems.
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: The really good stuff's not available yet. Okay. In chart exhibitions,
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: I thought it was, especially the first half the way
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: you came out. And I give a lot of credit
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: to Charleston for playing the game only ten practices. James
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: Long new coach, So that's a charl let's start there.
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: That's a Charleston team that I think in the MEC
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: by the time the tournament rolls around, that's going to
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: be a really good Charleston team. But West Virginia did
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: in that game what you wanted to see it do
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: against a team it should beat. But it came out
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: and you know, one of the things we've been talking
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: about here up until this first game is with Darren,
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: the intensity and the effort, especially on the defensive end,
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: is going to be a hallmark, right, That's one thing
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: that he does not bend on. Man, did you see
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: that in the first half? They came out and in
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: particular when you talk about an individual defender, Sincere Harris
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: was absolutely a dude defensively, that led to some great
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: team defense. It led to a smothering defensive performance there
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: in the first half, made it really difficult for Charleston
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: to get the offense going. Then on the offensive side
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: of things, Tony, I thought they shot it extremely well
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: seven of sixteen from three in the first half. Then
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: you got into the second half and I think a
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: little bit of that adrenaline kind of wore off. That
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: effort that you put in in the first half defensively
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: affected some of the shooting in the second, but overall,
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: tremendous game. Got everybody in. Everybody on the roster got
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: in and had a chance to play on the coliseum floor,
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: and just a tremendous start in an exhibition game. Albeit,
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: I know the Big twelve is going to bring up
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: some opponents that are going to be extremely difficult, but
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: that's how you want to start that exhibition game.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you. They took what they were
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: doing on the practice floor and they brought it to
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: the game floor.
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: Good way I said that.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So they as time goes on their offense, they'll
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: distribute the ball and they'll move the ball. Well, they
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: run good stuff. It looks good, right, there's a great
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: feel to it. Just for example, let's talk about the
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: very first play of the game. Yeah, right, very first
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: play of the game. They run an NBA set and
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: it leads to a wide open three.
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: Maybe had Tucker bring the ball up the floor hoppy
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: and they put your point guard Javon Small as the screener.
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: Normally it's the big that screens and then rolls. This
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: is a little ode to Steve current stuff. Curry did
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: this in tm USA worked out tremiously well. You let
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: Javon Small set the screen, then he rolls for the
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: open three. Got it on the first possession. You come
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: back later in the half, run the same thing. Charleston
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: reacted appropriately and said, you're not going to shoot a
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: three on that. We know what's coming. Jumped on the shooter,
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: opened up the back door. Cut there, passed from Small
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: to de free. So just little stuff like that. If
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: you're watching, you saw really good stuff in a basket
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: made on the first possession of the game to open
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: the second half, coming out of a timeout. There was
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: some neat stuff run. So if you're a basketball geek
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: in terms of the stuff that's run, right, what do
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: we say about a coach the highest compliment is he
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: runs good stuff. There was some good stuff being run.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: It was fun.
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, really both ways though James Long's very good at
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: that as well.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're gonna be good. They're gonna be good in
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: that made free throws? Did you make free throws? Didn't
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: turn the ball over? I think we had what seven
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: turnovers and scored a ton with thirty over thirty or
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: thirty three points off of their turnovers. You forced over
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: twenty turnovers, So yeah, it was a it was a
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: good debut. I think that's a kind of a for
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: everyone in the program. Hey, I'm glad that's over kind
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: of a game because you just I mean everything, everything
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: is new onto that floor. Okay, how do we do?
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: How we okay? Where's warm ups? How do you do?
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: What tunnel do we go into? Okay? When then when
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: the mountaineers are like, okay, they're gonna roll this carpet
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: out there? Now, where do we go? Where's the rest
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: of the teams?
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: Like all that is all brand new.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: First time stuff, you can just kind of forget about.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: They just take it.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple of things. I listened to you guys,
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: and again, congratulations to the new broadcast team. I thought
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: you guys did a great job. Enjoyed listening to you.
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: And also, I've got to you know, my my bandwidth
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: is not wide enough. I mean, I got it, Tony,
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: I got it. I was listening to you. I thought, now,
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: who is that?
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: Oh? Is that? Every who is that? I mean? I
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: know two three guys. Don't feel bad. I mean everyone
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: is new. Everyone is new except o Freneve and the crowd.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: Crowd appreciated that he stayed around because he got a
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: big hit a three, hit a three. He got a
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: big roar from the crowd as being the last man standing.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: And uh yeah.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: So there were times, I mean, no offense to you,
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: because I think you do a tremendous job. But there
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: were times I thought, now, who has the ball?
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: No, I mean, yeah, I can't. I hear you. No,
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: I get that. I get that.
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: Jake Ower got in. Jake Ower got in, knocked home
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: a three.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: So Jake Auer, who played at Brad's High School in Iowa,
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: got in for the Mountaineers. And just like Brad, the
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: ball stays in his hands about two seconds before he
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: shoots it.
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: Shot or shoot.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: He was open and he banged one. And uh and
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: the and and and the alum. The alum took out
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: his his Valley High School pompom there. He's all fired up.
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: The Valley High graduate to make a three in the Colissegna.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: It was a big moment.
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: I was happy for Jacob. Parents were in town.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and there were there were there were folks
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: at Three Guys tailgate who were stopped there and then
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: went to the game. So, and I know you had
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: a crowd there, So I mean, people are excited to
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: see what this new team is going to be. It's
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: gonna it's gonna be a challenging season, but they were
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: excited about something new.
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is this. We talked about football schedule being tough. Yeah,
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: his basketball schedules relentless. But good started. Tell you, I
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: think that's a really good way to say what you
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: just said. There. Took the practice for what you were
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: trying to accomplish and moved it right over to the
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: game floor. That's really hard to do, especially early with
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: all the new guys, so they have to be throwed
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: a lot to work on. As Darren said after things
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: to work on. Rebounding was one we thought they they'd
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: have to continue to get better on. He said they would.
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: That was something that showed up. But really good start.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: Here's a good question for you guys. So when you
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: play that and I think one point you guys called
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: it out where there were substitutions, like four new players
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: came in. So you play with that level of defensive intensity,
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: A lot of guys are gonna have to play right.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, Yeah, it's hard to Uh, it's hard to stay
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: that bouncy for a long period of time. You got
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: a road takeer.
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: You're gonna have to mix some guys, and that's why
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: that's why the practices are as intense and fast pace
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: as they are, because you're getting a little conditioning with
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: that as well. So you're going to play your way
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: into game shape. That happens, well, it's really guys. It's
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: you're able to do it because the length of the
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: schedule and the number of games and the availabilities. But
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: it really is the nice thing about college basketball. You
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: don't just open up with a massive game right out
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: of the gate, right and you get a chance to
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: play your way into the shape and overcome some of that.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: They'll go scrimmage wake Forest. Is it this weekend?
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: And you know allowed to say that you're not going
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: to be is that this weekend? NCA is probably online one, Yeah,
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: coming up later. I mean there's rules later in the week.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so they're going to do that. They'll scrimmage wake Forest,
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: and they'll give another opportunity and then they'll dose that
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: situation that's just not like, hey, we're going to play
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: for forty minutes. They may play for forty minutes and
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: then they stop and they go, okay, let's do this
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: six seconds on the clock. We'll inbound at mid court
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: and we're down one. They'll do situational normally, they'll do
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of situations when you're exhausted, when you're those
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: situational stuff, so that all that kind of stuff helps.
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: One last thing of the people that stopped to say hi,
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: we met Gordy from Massachusetts and his family.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: Oh that was awesome with that on.
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: But remember he's the one that's texted about he enjoyed
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: b Line stuff and he took it and he turned
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: on had a very successful coaching career himself using John
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: b Line stuff. It was awesome.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: He came over. He has two little kiddies with him
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: and his wife, and he's good buddies with Adam Hughes,
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: former Mountain near long snapper who now lives just a
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: short distance away from Gordy. But that that was the
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: amazing text. We said, this is like an all time
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: or text. Yes, because he took he was watching bee Line.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: He's going, wait a second, I gotta I'm gonna use
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: So it took all of b Line stuff.
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: But the guy from Messah.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: And then came down here and now does leadership stuff.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: Actually teaches a remote class at w VU. Of course
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: I'm up there in Massachusetts.
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: It was fun to meet him and his family.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: Three guys brought to us by Tutor's Biscuit. Were you
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: think they were busy this weekend? Love that bridge? That
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: bridge day? Oh yeah, you know that that one Ville? Yeah, Fayeville,
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: right before the bridge. No matter where you are, Tutor's
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: Biscuits can be there with you. They've got over seventy
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: locations across the state and beyond. And I think this
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: is biscuit season. I think, No, seriously, I think as
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: the weather gets colder, you probably are more leaning. Would
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: you say, Brad toward a biscuit. I mean, I don't know.
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: I tick one down in July. Yeah, well, I see
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: where you're going with it. Food is what you're saying.
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: Gets colder, you needs some more comfort food.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: Let me rephrase, maybe when the fall comes you eat
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: too instead of one. That's kind of what that's kind
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: of what I think. You gotta stay hard anyway. Garden
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: and Gun Magazine hosted last March it's annual biscuit challenge,
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: Who's got the best biscuit? Thirty two different biscuit makers
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: got in and you guessed it Tutor's Biscuit World won
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: the biscuit bracket where they won it. Yeah, world champion,
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: a world's championship, and they want it with their mountaineer.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: Just in case you don't know. That's country hammegg cheese
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: and a crispy hash brown and that was ordained. But
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: there's so many different biscuits that they have. Next time
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: you get an opportunity or as they say, a hankering,
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: go to Tudor's Biscuit. Start your day the homemade way. Uh,
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: p up up up up, Good morning, gentlemen. First off,
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: I'd like to say thank you to your staff coming
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: in on Sundays, taking time away from your families. I'm
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: sure it's not fun recording a show following the loss,
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: especially one like last night. No, he'll for a clamber. Yeah,
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: suddenly I enjoy Secondly, suddenly. Secondly, I enjoyed listening to
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: Tony and Brad. Happy to see, excited what the men's
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: basketball team does this season. I think will be pleasantly surprised.
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: I'm grateful to be able to visit West Virginia the
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: last two weekends and watch games with my mom. At
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: the end of the night. My twenty year old reunion
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: was last week and I took my boys to Bridge
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: Day yesterday. I got food from Gino's and Tutors on
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: back to back weekends, something I've not been able to
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: do for many years. Lastly, I'm hoping the Mountaineers get
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: it back on track next weekend against Arizona. Thanks for
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: doing what you do keep us informed and entertained. Texter.
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: That was a disaster. However, I've had the pleasure of
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: meeting homeless Dave. I even had my picture made with
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: him there. He is man the fourth guy. Before the game.
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: The beer was great, conversation better. We talked about our
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: time at North Carolina Wesleyan College. We had very different experiences.
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: Dave was a basketball player, I was a reprobate. We
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: both found our way in life. Dave is the fourth
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: three guy and all around good guy. As for me,
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: I entered into the one profession where reprobates excel politics. Anyway,
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry I missed you guys, but I'm glad that
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: I met Dave. Signed by p One Scott in Stafford.
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: Thanks Scott, Glad he got to meet Dave.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Dave is kind of the consistency. Yeah, he is
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: so that's where we are. So basketball goes quiet, they
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: go under the under the closed door to scrimmage. Football,
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: as we said, are a It's going to be a
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: seven o'clock kick on Saturday against Arizona Mountaineer's first trip
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: out there as Big twelve members. West Virginia last played
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: there in the Insight dot Com Bowl. On that field.
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: You don't remember that one hot they all run together
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: for ninety eight. Yeah, So what happened there is West
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: Virginia drives season. West Virginia drives the ball down the
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: field on the opening possession playing Missouri, Missouri, Missouri playing Missouri,
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: and West Virginia drives down the field and on its
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: opening possession sets up for a field goal three point
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: looking for a three start things off. I don't know
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: why I remember this, but I think a lot of
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: people remember it the same way. Kick gets blocked and
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: do they return it. I forget what happened, but like
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: from that point on it went downhill. It's like it
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: just it was just like look, long night.
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: And didn't Westernia make a run late, run late?
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah? For me, every bowl game is the Gator Bowl
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. Yeah, who's a quarterback Kobe. Let me see
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: what year with Smith?
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: Was it? Kobe Smith?
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: Year? Dan was a coach nine, Yeah, exactly right, ninety eight.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: Then his brother got into coaching as well. And anyway, anyway,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: my point to all this is that that's the last
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: time that West Virginia played in that stadium, and uh,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: they'll do it again. And obviously there's a little West
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: Virginia connection in Arizona, right rich Rod? Was there a
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: lot of form out in here. Staff members were there.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: And uh, we'll see a day after Christmas.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: Great, can I give you a connection? This the kind
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: of person other I'm sorry, let me finish us in
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: thirty four to thirty one.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: You did make a run at him. I think that's
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: that game when you rendered me unconscious on the plane
