- 3:13Speaker 1: also brought to us by Yeah Tudor's Biscuit World. Apparently
- 3:17Speaker 1: there are people questioning our ability to eat the two
- 3:21Speaker 1: Mountaineer biscuits. I got a text in here a little
- 3:24Speaker 1: bit later. I forget what he's whether he says he's
- 3:26Speaker 1: done it, or he can do it, or he will
- 3:27Speaker 1: do it.
- 3:28Speaker 3: I understand the questioning of that. I get it. I'm
- 3:30Speaker 3: starting to question myself.
- 3:31Speaker 2: Well, you crushed that one.
- 3:34Speaker 1: We brought in on Sunday Tasty three guys, also brought
- 3:37Speaker 1: to us by Conley Conley's CPA group, Stats on spreads
- 3:42Speaker 1: on stats coming up, providing value beyond numbers. That's the
- 3:45Speaker 1: Conley CPA group. Okay, courts in session, thanks for being
- 3:50Speaker 1: with us. We're not we're not totally over what happened
- 3:59Speaker 1: last Saturday, losing the heartbreaker to Pit. But at the
- 4:01Speaker 1: same time, everything never, nothing stops.
- 4:06Speaker 3: So it doesn't standstill.
- 4:07Speaker 1: No, it doesn't, never has stood still, and so you
- 4:09Speaker 1: got to play the next one. So you better move
- 4:11Speaker 1: on because they ain't gonna You're not gonna get dividends
- 4:13Speaker 1: for being bummed out.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Steve Miller, Tom keeps on ticking, ticking, ticking.
- 4:18Speaker 1: And into the future. Yeah that's true.
- 4:20Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, heard a story this week that relates to
- 4:23Speaker 3: that excuse me well song. No, it relates to the
- 4:27Speaker 3: time keeps on moving. You got to keep going. You
- 4:29Speaker 3: don't have any other choice. You gotta keep going. You
- 4:31Speaker 3: want to hear the story? Yeah, involves a young Kobe Bryant.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Which Kobe the one that plays for Kansas at corner or.
- 4:38Speaker 3: The excellent question given this week, but no the original. Okay,
- 4:42Speaker 3: So Kobe missed some shots in a playoff game late
- 4:45Speaker 3: in the game, like multiple shots to win the game.
- 4:48Speaker 3: Missed the shot early in his career. So afterwards he
- 4:52Speaker 3: was over on the bench and hanging his head and
- 4:54Speaker 3: he was in thought. And he got done, came back
- 4:55Speaker 3: and went to the interview session, and the first question
- 4:58Speaker 3: was asked, how bad do you feel for missing those shots?
- 5:01Speaker 3: Could have won the game if made the shots, And
- 5:03Speaker 3: he says, back to the questioner says, what does feel
- 5:08Speaker 3: have anything to do with it? How I feel? What's
- 5:10Speaker 3: that have to do with anything? He said, I know
- 5:12Speaker 3: why I missed the shots. I'm going to get back
- 5:15Speaker 3: in the gym tomorrow and fix what didn't happen today.
- 5:21Speaker 3: I will get that fixed. So the next time it
- 5:23Speaker 3: comes up, the next time I get that shot, I'm
- 5:26Speaker 3: going to hit it. Feeling has nothing to do with it.
- 5:28Speaker 3: The only thing that matters is they get it fixed.
- 5:31Speaker 3: I thought that was a pretty appropriate time you hear that,
- 5:34Speaker 3: because I think that applies to West Virgini's football team fans,
- 5:37Speaker 3: not so much because you're going to feel it, and
- 5:38Speaker 3: you're going to be emotional. Setbacks are emotional, right in
- 5:42Speaker 3: anything we do in life, When you face a setback,
- 5:45Speaker 3: it's emotional. But when you're when you're the team in
- 5:48Speaker 3: this situation, you only have one choice. That's to get
- 5:50Speaker 3: back to work, and you got try and fix it,
- 5:52Speaker 3: and you got to fix it fast because starting Saturday
- 5:55Speaker 3: and continuing for the next few games, you have got
- 5:57Speaker 3: real challenges in front of you. So I thought that
- 6:00Speaker 3: was an appropriate story that I just happened to hear
- 6:02Speaker 3: this week.
- 6:02Speaker 2: It absolutely fits.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't.
- 6:07Speaker 2: I mean, you want to be emotional in the game,
- 6:09Speaker 2: but you can't afford to be overly emotional.
- 6:12Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna come out with some more lyrics.
- 6:14Speaker 1: I thought you were going to go, you can't always
- 6:16Speaker 1: get what you want rolling Stone, but.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Sometimes or you go, Bob Dylan just might find you
- 6:21Speaker 2: get what you need.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Or you go Bob Dylan, you go, Yeah, you can't
- 6:27Speaker 1: lose nothing when you ain't got nothing at all.
- 6:29Speaker 2: That's not exactly I know.
- 6:30Speaker 1: It's the paraphrase that you can't lose what what was?
- 6:35Speaker 2: You got nothing? You got nothing.
- 6:36Speaker 3: This is a This is a heck of a of
- 6:38Speaker 3: a high stakes matchup, oh for week four of the season,
- 6:43Speaker 3: for two teams that come in very mirror images of
- 6:46Speaker 3: each other, disappointed, desperation on both sides. This is this
- 6:51Speaker 3: has a November type feel to it in terms of
- 6:54Speaker 3: who needs to get a win. It's both of these programs.
- 6:56Speaker 2: Bran. I was just thinking about that that you have
- 6:58Speaker 2: a game in mid septem where we have two teams
- 7:01Speaker 2: each underachieving so far and a lot is at stake.
- 7:06Speaker 2: You're right, and it has it has a November feel
- 7:08Speaker 2: to it because somebody's going to come out of this thing.
- 7:11Speaker 2: Both teams are going to walk in. One of them
- 7:13Speaker 2: is gonna limp back, I mean both of them. So
- 7:15Speaker 2: it's whoever loses is going to be in a bad situation.
- 7:21Speaker 1: H oo.
- 7:22Speaker 2: Happy's obvious observations, you know. And Tony, you mentioned the
- 7:25Speaker 2: conference schedule, and that's true. So it's all ahead of
- 7:28Speaker 2: you starting the conference schedule. But you got to play better, Okay,
- 7:32Speaker 2: I mean starting the conference schedule can be a fresh start,
- 7:34Speaker 2: but West Virginia has to play better in order to
- 7:37Speaker 2: be successful in that conference schedule starting Saturday. Good.
- 7:42Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, I was just gonna say, and what's wild
- 7:44Speaker 3: about this with these two teams that are that are
- 7:46Speaker 3: so desperate for a win. There's like two glaring weaknesses
- 7:51Speaker 3: on one on each team and they're going against each other. Yeah,
- 7:54Speaker 3: West Virginia's struggling pass defense, we'll get in some of
- 7:57Speaker 3: those numbers going against a Kansas offense in Jalen Daniels
- 8:01Speaker 3: in particular, that's having a whale of a problem completing
- 8:05Speaker 3: passes to his own team and throwing a ton of picks.
- 8:08Speaker 3: And there's a lot of nuance off of both of
- 8:10Speaker 3: those things. But those are the two big storylines here.
- 8:13Speaker 3: Can West Virginia fix its past defense? Can Kansas fix
- 8:16Speaker 3: its inability to keep the footballs turning it over at
- 8:19Speaker 3: an unbelievable clip? And that's to me, that's where this
- 8:23Speaker 3: story starts. Two massive areas of weakness through three games
- 8:27Speaker 3: for each team. Which one performs this week.
- 8:29Speaker 2: Is oftentimes you talk about strength on strength. This is
- 8:32Speaker 2: weakness on weakness. Right, So Daniels has thrown six picks.
- 8:35Speaker 2: West Virginia's defensive pass defense struggles well documented, Brad. So
- 8:41Speaker 2: what there's two parts to an interception, right, the throwing
- 8:46Speaker 2: of the interception.
- 8:47Speaker 3: What's the other part, Like, you gotta catch it gotta
- 8:49Speaker 3: catch it.
- 8:49Speaker 2: So West Virginia's got to If Daniels is going to
- 8:51Speaker 2: continue to throw interceptible balls, and you'll probably have some
- 8:54Speaker 2: stats on that, then West Virginia's got to do its
- 8:57Speaker 2: part defensive, which it hasn't to this point exactly. Not
- 9:00Speaker 2: only have the coverage has the coverage been lacking, but
- 9:03Speaker 2: balls that there's been opportunities to pick them and you
- 9:06Speaker 2: just haven't picked them. So the Kansas side of it
- 9:09Speaker 2: looks at this and says, listen, Jalen Daniels preseason player
- 9:11Speaker 2: of the year in this league.
- 9:12Speaker 3: Still a dynamic runner. We'll get to that as well,
- 9:14Speaker 3: but really struggling to throw it. So is that a
- 9:17Speaker 3: couple of bad games with some bad throws. Is it
- 9:20Speaker 3: a total now lack of confidence that will carry over?
- 9:23Speaker 3: Is it something that's pretty fixable because you go through
- 9:25Speaker 3: the rest of Kansas's stuff, they should really be three
- 9:28Speaker 3: and oh, I mean you can point to one thing
- 9:30Speaker 3: with them, and that's those interceptions. West Virginia feels a
- 9:33Speaker 3: little harder to fix. You're hearing Neil talk about new
- 9:37Speaker 3: players getting inserted in there and the defensive backfield as
- 9:39Speaker 3: we're into week just week four and already talking about
- 9:42Speaker 3: more guys getting opportunity. You go to the Kansas side.
- 9:45Speaker 3: When they're talking about Jalen Daniels, Lance Leipold has said,
- 9:48Speaker 3: quote and I'm quoting, it's a fragile situation regarding Daniels.
- 9:53Speaker 3: So that seems like, well, maybe that's an ongoing issue.
- 9:56Speaker 3: Can you get a pick early and continue the slide?
- 9:59Speaker 3: He throws a pick early? Does he get pulled? There's
- 10:02Speaker 3: been a lot of talk out in Kansas this week.
- 10:03Speaker 3: Is he the right quarterback? Should you go to your backup?
- 10:05Speaker 3: It's amazing how these storylines for the two teams parallel
- 10:09Speaker 3: each other, but in different categories.
- 10:13Speaker 1: The line from Bob Dylan was when you ain't got nothing,
- 10:16Speaker 1: you got nothing at all. Okay, I stay corrected, No,
- 10:20Speaker 1: what I didn't I butchered it anyway. But no, to
- 10:22Speaker 1: your point, Brad, here's what's interesting. So is Jalen Daniels
- 10:27Speaker 1: watching tape this week of West Virginia's defense and going
- 10:32Speaker 1: this is exactly what I need. And on the other
- 10:35Speaker 1: side are West Virginia's defensive backs going, ooh, this is
- 10:40Speaker 1: exactly he throwed me a couple of those. I'll take
- 10:43Speaker 1: care right, someone's someone's getting excited right now, and someone's
- 10:48Speaker 1: not gonna be happy. Someone's gonna leave happy.
- 10:51Speaker 3: Someone's gonna go like And it's amazing psychology experiment too,
- 10:54Speaker 3: because if I'm the coach on each side of that,
- 10:55Speaker 3: that's what I'm saying. If I'm West Virginia's coaches, I'm
- 10:58Speaker 3: saying to these dbacks, all right, you're gonna get it,
- 10:59Speaker 3: get it fix this week. You're gonna eat. He's gonna
- 11:01Speaker 3: throw you a couple balls. You gotta pick it. He
- 11:02Speaker 3: hasn't been reading the defense. Well. If I'm Jeff Grimes,
- 11:05Speaker 3: offensive coordinator for Kansas, I'm saying to Daniels, Okay, here's
- 11:08Speaker 3: where we get. Well, you're fine, You're fine. Those throws
- 11:11Speaker 3: are gonna find their way. You're a really good quarterback.
- 11:13Speaker 3: You can throw it. You're gonna have success against these
- 11:16Speaker 3: guys that have been struggling against everybody but the actual
- 11:19Speaker 3: guy's playing. You can say that all you want, right,
- 11:22Speaker 3: you can say that all you want to Jalen Dan
- 11:25Speaker 3: Does he believe it? Does he believe it? Or does
- 11:27Speaker 3: he think? Is he going?
- 11:29Speaker 1: Well?
- 11:29Speaker 3: I mean, I hear you, coach, but I don't know. Same.
- 11:32Speaker 3: On the West Virginia side, i think this is an
- 11:34Speaker 3: unbelievably intriguing game here.
- 11:37Speaker 1: If you're them, what would you do with Jalen Daniels.
- 11:41Speaker 3: I would run it.
- 11:42Speaker 1: His greatest strength is that, So when he does pass it,
- 11:45Speaker 1: I put him in super safe past situations. I don't
- 11:48Speaker 1: have him slinging it downfield. You take a look at
- 11:50Speaker 1: where his interceptions have come from. When is it when
- 11:53Speaker 1: he's throwing heaters down, He's throwing absolute heaters down. Well,
- 11:56Speaker 1: you'll get into that with your numbers.
- 11:57Speaker 3: We'll get into that because I got some interesting numbers
- 11:59Speaker 3: because that is what they're doing. Yeah, they've been trying that. Yeah,
- 12:02Speaker 3: that hasn't worked.
- 12:02Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it.
- 12:04Speaker 3: Van s Leipold also said this week we need to
- 12:06Speaker 3: get back to doing what Jalen does well.
- 12:08Speaker 1: Run.
- 12:08Speaker 3: You're gonna get a heavy dose of running, which has
- 12:11Speaker 3: also been an issue for West Virginia's defense. Quarterbacks running
- 12:15Speaker 3: not just designed runs, but scrambling. I've got some numbers
- 12:17Speaker 3: on that as well.
- 12:18Speaker 2: And he and to add another dimension of that, they
- 12:20Speaker 2: will occasionally run off the option, which is a problem.
- 12:23Speaker 2: I mean it's not just the quarterback running, but an option. Now,
- 12:26Speaker 2: you got a whole assignment thing. You got to worry about. So, yeah,
- 12:28Speaker 2: he's very dangerous with his feet, and he was hurting. Look,
- 12:31Speaker 2: he was doing that against UNLV. He should have won
- 12:33Speaker 2: the UNLV game.
- 12:34Speaker 1: So everything he does well, I mean, he's basically a
- 12:37Speaker 1: clone of Garrett Green. Right, it's the same. It's the
- 12:40Speaker 1: same style of player. Guys that can hurt you with
- 12:43Speaker 1: their legs, Guys that can hurt you with their arms
- 12:46Speaker 1: when they are on right. That's the interesting part of this.
- 12:49Speaker 3: And so there's a parallel track there West Virginia, and
- 12:53Speaker 3: I'm not sure we've talked about it enough or as
- 12:56Speaker 3: much because of the glaring troubles on defense. But West
- 12:59Speaker 3: Virginia's not taking care of the ball either. Now they're
- 13:01Speaker 3: not getting takeaways, which hurts your turnover margin. Obviously obvious
- 13:05Speaker 3: observation coming from me. You're not getting a takeaways. But
- 13:08Speaker 3: West Virginia's putting the ball on the ground too much,
- 13:10Speaker 3: too many fumbles, throwing too many interceptions. More so, I'll
- 13:15Speaker 3: get some of those numbers. Well, I mean I got
- 13:16Speaker 3: a million numbers on this on these angles. But West
- 13:19Speaker 3: Virginia's offense that really probably did enough to win the
- 13:23Speaker 3: pit game if you get a stop, but also just
- 13:26Speaker 3: needed one more block and you get that first down
- 13:29Speaker 3: and the offense could have put that game away against Pitt.
- 13:32Speaker 3: So the offense still hasn't got back to the level
- 13:35Speaker 3: where it was mid season or on last year. And
- 13:38Speaker 3: it's still early, so it has time to get on tracked.
- 13:41Speaker 3: But I also think there's some defensive adjustments that teams
- 13:43Speaker 3: have made. They're not letting West Virginia get over the
- 13:45Speaker 3: top on them like they were, so West Virginia's having
- 13:48Speaker 3: to work Underneath's almost a Pat Mahomes defense, right, Like, Okay,
- 13:52Speaker 3: we know Garrett Green can throw it deep and do
- 13:54Speaker 3: it well, we're not going to let you do that.
- 13:55Speaker 3: You'd show us if you can drive the ball down
- 13:57Speaker 3: the field with ten or eleven or twelve play drives.
- 14:00Speaker 3: You did that against Penn State. You did march all
- 14:02Speaker 3: the way down the field. Right, three drives of ten
- 14:04Speaker 3: players are more, but they didn't end in touchdowns, so
- 14:06Speaker 3: that was part of it. So is this West Virginia
- 14:09Speaker 3: offense ready to break Is it break out? I should say?
- 14:12Speaker 3: Is it ready to break out? Is it ready to
- 14:14Speaker 3: hit a couple of those big plays? Are you ready
- 14:16Speaker 3: to cash in on some of those long drives against
- 14:18Speaker 3: a Kansas defense that is playing well. But I think
- 14:21Speaker 3: West Virginia has the ability to be the best offense
- 14:24Speaker 3: that Kansas team has faced if it keeps a hold
- 14:26Speaker 3: of the ball.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Getting ready for spreads on stats as we record Thursday
- 14:32Speaker 1: afternoon live, unconfirmed reports have an armada of pontoon boats
- 14:38Speaker 1: on the Mississippi River bringing the Kansas football team toward Morgantown.
- 14:42Speaker 1: How did they get to the mississ It's a circuitous route.
- 14:46Speaker 1: They've done it, they say. I think they picked it
- 14:48Speaker 1: up in Saint Louis somewhere around there, Missouri.
- 14:52Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess you could. Sure you could head up
- 14:54Speaker 2: to Iowa pick it up too. Yeah, you can pick
- 14:55Speaker 2: it up there. So go to the Ohio River and
- 14:58Speaker 2: then Pittsburgh. So here's the question. If the transportation now
- 15:04Speaker 2: for these teams coming to play West Virginia lou Wendell pontoons,
- 15:07Speaker 2: why wouldn't you want a lou Wendell pontoon. They are
- 15:11Speaker 2: and this is all kiddy inside the premiere pontoon boat
- 15:14Speaker 2: dealer in the great state of West Virginia. They sell
- 15:17Speaker 2: Avalon pontoon boats, which are manufactured one hundred percent here
- 15:21Speaker 2: in the United States.
- 15:21Speaker 1: And besides pontoons. Hey man, they've been in business for
- 15:24Speaker 1: nearly fifty years. They got other kinds of ocean craft.
- 15:28Speaker 1: How about the Gator Tough John series, the G three's,
- 15:30Speaker 1: those G three John boats, they're super super nice. Look
- 15:34Speaker 1: at that bad boy right there. If you're watching in
- 15:35Speaker 1: at home, I mean, that's a boat that'll take you places.
- 15:39Speaker 1: Absolutely take you places. Visit lou Wendell Marine Sales. If

- 18:40Speaker 1: mature getting there?
- 18:42Speaker 3: But not yet? Not yet because you still have so
- 18:45Speaker 3: much variance in who teams have played in their strengths.
- 18:48Speaker 3: So no, we're not there yet. But as we've said
- 18:51Speaker 3: through the years, each year that goes on, you start
- 18:53Speaker 3: to get a little more consistency in the numbers. But
- 18:55Speaker 3: some really interesting ones this week. You ready, yeah, hit us.
- 19:00Speaker 3: All right, let's start with those Daniels turnover issues that
- 19:03Speaker 3: we've discussed.
- 19:04Speaker 1: Going Daniels Men's store turnovers.
- 19:06Speaker 3: No, not Daniel's Men's Store, although he's got some more
- 19:08Speaker 3: new West Virginia stuff in there, newer stuff every week.
- 19:11Speaker 3: It's every week he does that. So I go in
- 19:13Speaker 3: every Tuesday for my shift. Right, I think I've seen
- 19:15Speaker 3: everything in the store folded. About everything that's in there, dress,
- 19:18Speaker 3: multiple mannequins. New stuff keeps coming out.
- 19:21Speaker 1: So if we go over there as part of the
- 19:22Speaker 1: food court this weekend, you'll see new gear.
- 19:24Speaker 3: If I were coming into town, I would make a
- 19:26Speaker 3: stop there.
- 19:26Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead.
- 19:28Speaker 3: Not Daniel's Men's Store, but Jalen Daniels turnover issues against
- 19:31Speaker 3: this Westernia pass defense. There's only one player in the
- 19:34Speaker 3: country that's thrown more picks than Jayalen Daniels.
- 19:36Speaker 2: Really, it's incredible.
- 19:39Speaker 3: As a team, Kansas has two or more turnovers in
- 19:42Speaker 3: five of its last six games going back to last year.
- 19:45Speaker 3: West Fraany's pass defense. I think I have this right.
- 19:48Speaker 3: Eight touchdowns allowed, no picks.
- 19:50Speaker 1: It's not good.
- 19:51Speaker 3: Eight passing touchdowns no picks. That's all right, Yes, it's correct. Okay,
- 19:55Speaker 3: So let's talk about this Kansas passing game because I
- 19:57Speaker 3: know what West Virginia fans are saying. I assume I
- 19:59Speaker 3: know what they're saying, because I'm saying it hoppy.
- 20:02Speaker 2: Okay.
- 20:02Speaker 3: I would have preferred Daniels not have three picks in
- 20:04Speaker 3: each of the last two games, right, spread it out right,
- 20:06Speaker 3: would have preferred he come into this game and throw
- 20:09Speaker 3: a couple picks because now you're going, oh, this one
- 20:11Speaker 3: he's gonna get right, you don't like that. Their offense, though,
- 20:16Speaker 3: is trying to protect him some. And again we've talked
- 20:19Speaker 3: about the change in offensive coordinator, so they're in essence
- 20:22Speaker 3: running the same scheme, but it's different. Dude, Andy Cotle
- 20:24Speaker 3: nick we've said his name more on this podcast than
- 20:26Speaker 3: we've said Neil Brown. Andy Cotle Nicky hop at Penn State,
- 20:29Speaker 3: Right was it Kansas? Now enter Jeff Grimes. But here's
- 20:32Speaker 3: what's interesting. They have their lowest air yards per attempt
- 20:36Speaker 3: since at least twenty sixteen in terms of throwing the
- 20:39Speaker 3: ball down the field yards per attempt for Daniels right
- 20:42Speaker 3: now six point four, which is last in the Big twelve.
- 20:46Speaker 3: So they're not taking shots down the field, and part
- 20:48Speaker 3: of that's because when they have those have turned into picks.
- 20:51Speaker 3: So you look at those numbers plus the interceptions, and
- 20:54Speaker 3: that's telling me they don't have a ton of confidence
- 20:56Speaker 3: in their passing game. Right now. Daniels had a stretch,
- 20:59Speaker 3: didn't clue some drops against Vegas. It was a one
- 21:02Speaker 3: of ten passing stretch, one completion, ten attempts. Side note,
- 21:07Speaker 3: he has three fumbles as well. So we generally mentioned turnovers,
- 21:13Speaker 3: but don't lead with turnovers because it's an obvious key.
- 21:16Speaker 3: If you're going to struggle in the turnover department, you're
- 21:18Speaker 3: probably not going to win Kansas example one, West Virginia
- 21:21Speaker 3: example two. Right, But this to me is first and
- 21:24Speaker 3: foremost on the list. Both of these teams have to
- 21:27Speaker 3: get it together when it comes to turning the ball over,
- 21:29Speaker 3: so keep an eye on that. That's going to be
- 21:32Speaker 3: a massive part of this game. Here's the other part
- 21:34Speaker 3: that's interesting. Jalen Daniels has also been responsible for thirty
- 21:40Speaker 3: one percent of the pressure's Opposing defenses have been credited
- 21:44Speaker 3: with there's only eleven quarterbacks that have more a higher
- 21:51Speaker 3: percentage among guys that have taken ten snaps.
- 21:53Speaker 1: From more or you're saying he's walking into pressure.
- 21:55Speaker 3: No, he's not walking into pressure, but he may be
- 21:57Speaker 3: holding it a little bit too long. He's not escaping
- 22:00Speaker 3: pressure enough. He's the one they're saying that the offensive
- 22:02Speaker 3: line's been holding the blocks long enough to give you
- 22:05Speaker 3: time to throw it, but you're not throwing it. So
- 22:07Speaker 3: keep an eye on that. In this game, we saw
- 22:09Speaker 3: west Virginey's pressure be outstanding against Pitt. I think you're
- 22:12Speaker 3: getting a better offensive line in Kansas than he had
- 22:14Speaker 3: against Pitt. We identified that in our pit preview that
- 22:17Speaker 3: you would have spots to go get pressure. You did
- 22:20Speaker 3: and added some to that this game. Keep it on
- 22:23Speaker 3: the left tackle and the right guard for Kansas, those
- 22:26Speaker 3: have been the two areas of pressure, but not huge percentages,
- 22:29Speaker 3: but those have been the susceptible areas. But Daniels has
- 22:32Speaker 3: been the one that's responsible for most. So can you
- 22:35Speaker 3: get to him now? Flip it over to this KU
- 22:37Speaker 3: rush offense, because this is the part that should scare you.
- 22:40Speaker 3: Should scare you that he gets on track and make
- 22:42Speaker 3: some throws here. The second part is this ku rush offense,
- 22:46Speaker 3: where he is really dynamic, and as we mentioned, all
- 22:48Speaker 3: due respect to Holstein and Aler, this is a different
- 22:51Speaker 3: dude when it comes to running the football. He's not
- 22:53Speaker 3: in the same class as those guys. Three of the
- 22:56Speaker 3: top seven run blocking grades in the Big Twelve come
- 22:58Speaker 3: from Kansas offensive linemen, so we've said they've given up
- 23:01Speaker 3: some pressure there, but they are run blocking really well.
- 23:03Speaker 3: Daniel's averaging six yards per carry? So can you contain
- 23:08Speaker 3: hop Here's where we get specific. You're ready, yes, can
- 23:10Speaker 3: you contain the right edge, in particular the right edge
- 23:13Speaker 3: of the defense. His big plays have been on the
- 23:16Speaker 3: runs to that side, which would make sense right handed quarterback.
- 23:20Speaker 3: If he's flushed, he's probably gonna want to run right
- 23:22Speaker 3: and get around the edge. Ten yards per carry on
- 23:25Speaker 3: those type of runs. And both of his rushing touchdowns
- 23:29Speaker 3: nearly one third of his carries are scrambles, So he's
- 23:33Speaker 3: going to take off in a passing situation. Is he
- 23:35Speaker 3: more prone to do that now? With the passing struggles,
- 23:38Speaker 3: is he just say Okay, forget about it, I'm just
- 23:40Speaker 3: tucking it and going. That could be a problem, As
- 23:42Speaker 3: we mentioned Holstein, for Pitt had eighty three yards on scrambles,
- 23:47Speaker 3: ten yards per carry on quarterback scrambles. Still mind blowing
- 23:51Speaker 3: that that was the number. Drew Aller, who's not known
- 23:54Speaker 3: as a runner and didn't run all of last year,
- 23:57Speaker 3: forty four yards eight yards her carry. Sixty percent of
- 24:02Speaker 3: allers rushing yards this season have come on scrambles against
- 24:06Speaker 3: West Virginia sixty percent of his yards. So there's a
- 24:09Speaker 3: Kansas offense defensively, let's look at West Virginia for second.
- 24:14Speaker 1: May I interject sure? I think one of the interesting
- 24:17Speaker 1: dynamics with what you just said is whereas Jalen Daniels's head,
- 24:23Speaker 1: and by that I mean this you said a significant
- 24:27Speaker 1: portion of his runs on plays that were designed to
- 24:31Speaker 1: be passes, rights scrambles. So here it is, if he's
- 24:37Speaker 1: trying to show himself to be an NFL quarterback, he
- 24:42Speaker 1: wants to throw it more than he wants to run it,
- 24:44Speaker 1: even though running it may be the smarter move. Follow me.
- 24:49Speaker 1: So the balance in the battle that goes on internally
- 24:53Speaker 1: is if it's if it's a called pass, does he
- 24:58Speaker 1: want to show that he can complete the pa ass
- 25:00Speaker 1: or does he play selflessly and say I'm better off
- 25:04Speaker 1: to scoot and go. That's a big part of.
- 25:07Speaker 2: This, Tony, I hear you, and that's a valid point.
- 25:10Speaker 2: I would be less worried about his head and just
- 25:12Speaker 2: more worried about his feet. I mean, I mean the fact,
- 25:15Speaker 2: the fact that you know, watching some of the highlights
- 25:17Speaker 2: of those games, and you know this. You guys have
- 25:19Speaker 2: alluded to this. I mean, the guy can scoot, and
- 25:21Speaker 2: if he gets on the edge, it's a problem. West
- 25:25Speaker 2: Virginia's Brad you said, I mean, was unable to stop
- 25:27Speaker 2: quarterbacks who aren't very mobile and still got big gainers.
- 25:30Speaker 2: Now got a guy who's a legitimate runner.
- 25:32Speaker 1: See, I think I describe him as following. Now again,
- 25:35Speaker 1: I'm not saying that he is. I'm saying that he
- 25:38Speaker 1: can have an impact like a Donovan McNab when he's perfect,
- 25:45Speaker 1: When Jalen Daniels is playing elite football for him, he's
- 25:48Speaker 1: McNab esque. Agree, I think he runs better. Yeah, yeah,
- 25:53Speaker 1: maybe I was going to go major a little. I mean,
- 25:57Speaker 1: he's got major ability. Again, if he's throwing the ball, well,
- 26:00Speaker 1: he's got that same kind of dynamic ability just to
- 26:03Speaker 1: kill your defense and deflate your defense by making plays
- 26:07Speaker 1: that weren't designed to be runs.
- 26:09Speaker 3: It's a fascinating X and O matchup though, too, because
- 26:12Speaker 3: if you're if you're Kansas, what do you say here
- 26:15Speaker 3: is you always want to tack what the other team
- 26:18Speaker 3: doesn't do well. Westerning's not covering the pass well, but
- 26:20Speaker 3: you're not throwing it well. Westerring has stopped the run
- 26:22Speaker 3: pretty well. You run it pretty well. Like, what do
- 26:25Speaker 3: they want to do here? Devin Neil, we haven't talked
- 26:27Speaker 3: about him. We'll spend some more time on him. I mean,
- 26:29Speaker 3: he's fantastic, right, one of the best backs in this league,
- 26:31Speaker 3: one of the better ones in the nation. So Devin
- 26:34Speaker 3: Neil somebody you've got to contend with. But West Virginia's
- 26:36Speaker 3: been pretty good against the run so far, including against
- 26:39Speaker 3: two studs from Penn State. You know, Singleton got loose
- 26:42Speaker 3: for that big giant run, but but you managed other
- 26:45Speaker 3: than that to hold him in check. Reed, you handled
- 26:47Speaker 3: him in check last week against pitt So you've done
- 26:49Speaker 3: pretty well in that area. So how does Kansas decide
- 26:52Speaker 3: to react? Do they try and say you can't well,
- 26:54Speaker 3: you can't stop anybody through the air. We're gonna throw
- 26:56Speaker 3: on you. But they are a little nervous about that.
- 26:58Speaker 3: I'm fascinated to watch that one guy defensively. Let's call
- 27:01Speaker 3: out again. We mentioned this a lot on Sunday.
- 27:03Speaker 1: T J.
- 27:04Speaker 3: Jackson's off to a heck of a start. He's having
- 27:05Speaker 3: a really good year. Mentioned that he had four tackles
- 27:08Speaker 3: for loss against Pitt, the most of any West Virginia
- 27:10Speaker 3: player since twenty eighteen. He's also second in the Big
- 27:13Speaker 3: twelve and quarterback hurries and total pressures, so he's turned
- 27:16Speaker 3: into a playmaker along that defensive line.
- 27:19Speaker 1: Newcomer of the Week in the Big twelve.
- 27:21Speaker 3: He was flip over to the other side. Let's talk
- 27:23Speaker 3: Kansas defense for just second against a West Virginia offense that,
- 27:26Speaker 3: while at times has looked good, I don't think it
- 27:30Speaker 3: feels as elite as maybe we thought it was going
- 27:33Speaker 3: to be this early. It's got to clean some stuff
- 27:35Speaker 3: up as well. Kansas likes its defensive line so far.
- 27:38Speaker 3: Here's a couple guys to watch. Edge rusher Jeremy Robinson.
- 27:42Speaker 3: He leads their team in pressures with twelve. He's really
- 27:46Speaker 3: good from the right side of their defense. But that
- 27:49Speaker 3: should be okay. You've got to go against Wyatt Mileam
- 27:52Speaker 3: on the other side. Although both West Virginia tackles are
- 27:54Speaker 3: playing extremely well. I'll get to that in a minute.
- 27:56Speaker 3: Watch Tommy Dunn sits right in the middle of that
- 27:58Speaker 3: Kansas defensive line, so he's been a factor so far.
- 28:01Speaker 3: They like how he's playing. They're getting this West Virginia
- 28:04Speaker 3: offensive line that is playing really, really well. Guys. Five
- 28:08Speaker 3: of West Virginia's top seven offensive grades are from the
- 28:11Speaker 3: offensive line. Nick Malone at the highest grade, an eighty five.
- 28:15Speaker 3: Sixty five is his average. He's in an eighty five.
- 28:17Speaker 1: Amazing. He's from a right over the bridge over at
- 28:20Speaker 1: the high school.
- 28:20Speaker 3: He is playing extremely well. He has stepped right into
- 28:23Speaker 3: that role. Wyatt Milam is ninth nationally among offensive tackles
- 28:27Speaker 3: when it comes to pressures allowed. But how about this
- 28:30Speaker 3: cheque is top twenty among right guards. Our guys, playing guy,
- 28:35Speaker 3: our guy.
- 28:35Speaker 1: Sixty six in your sixty six game roster one in
- 28:38Speaker 1: your heart.
- 28:38Speaker 3: Malone eighth among right tackles. So this line's playing really well.
- 28:42Speaker 3: Hop and including you know, you go back and watch
- 28:45Speaker 3: some of the end of that game. On that second
- 28:47Speaker 3: to last drive, or West Virginia just needed a first
- 28:49Speaker 3: down and couldn't get there. It was not the offensive line.
- 28:52Speaker 3: It was not the offensive line. In fact, on that
- 28:54Speaker 3: third down pass that that pocket they created was tremendous.
- 28:58Speaker 3: CJ stepped over picked up a blitz. So this line
- 29:01Speaker 3: is doing what you hoped it would do. You've just
- 29:04Speaker 3: got to now take advantage of this is just too
- 29:06Speaker 3: bad that milem hilldere guy. Don't get us started on that.
- 29:13Speaker 3: Don'll get us started, all right, here's something else to watch.
- 29:17Speaker 3: Malone and Milam are both top ten in the Big
- 29:19Speaker 3: twelve and run blocking grade. Remac is right there. He's
- 29:23Speaker 3: top fifteen in run blocking grade. Yates just behind Remac.
- 29:27Speaker 3: So your line's doing it now. It's a matter of
- 29:31Speaker 3: I think a couple things for West Virginia offensively Garrett.
- 29:35Speaker 3: Can Garrett get out and run a little bit? Can
- 29:37Speaker 3: he avoid are they spying? Are they going too deep
- 29:39Speaker 3: safeties to prevent those big plays? Can Garrett now tuck
- 29:43Speaker 3: it and go a little bit more than we've seen
- 29:46Speaker 3: him do so far? Can that running game carry you?
- 29:49Speaker 3: Can you find some receivers to step up hops. Somebody's
- 29:52Speaker 3: got to emerge the number one receiver here, somebody's got
- 29:54Speaker 3: to get who's your one. You gotta get open, and
- 29:57Speaker 3: you got to be able to find them. So I'm
- 29:58Speaker 3: anxious to watch this offense go against what's been a
- 30:00Speaker 3: pretty good defense. One other note on West Virginy's offense,
- 30:05Speaker 3: talk about being aggressive. Lead the nation in fourth down
- 30:09Speaker 3: conversions nine of them in just three games.
- 30:12Speaker 1: Would say that again.
- 30:13Speaker 3: West Virginia leads the country in fourth down conversions nine
- 30:16Speaker 3: in just three games. Here's what may me more impressive.
- 30:19Speaker 3: Nine on eleven attempts. Nine conversions on eleven attempts. That's
- 30:23Speaker 3: eighty two percent. The only teams with a better conversion
- 30:27Speaker 3: percentage on fourth down all have just six attempts or less.
- 30:31Speaker 3: So that's been a nice bullet in the chamber of
- 30:35Speaker 3: this offense that needs to keep drives going.
- 30:37Speaker 2: And I mean that's an impressive stat Also, it was
- 30:40Speaker 2: it was there by necessity to I mean.
- 30:45Speaker 1: You had to go.
- 30:46Speaker 2: I mean, he comes up fourth down on the on
- 30:48Speaker 2: the thirty five game, on the line, go for it.
- 30:52Speaker 3: I don't know he was aggressive against Pitt. There were
- 30:53Speaker 3: a couple fourth and fives. Yeah, I mean, you know
- 30:56Speaker 3: me on our broadcast, I'm like, always go go go,
- 30:58Speaker 3: Why aren't you going go for it?
- 31:00Speaker 1: Go for it?
- 31:00Speaker 3: And I was going, I don't know, should you go
- 31:02Speaker 3: for it?
- 31:02Speaker 1: Here?
- 31:03Speaker 3: You train? I mean, so they were aggressive against pet Yeah,
- 31:07Speaker 3: all right, I got a million more, but that'll that'll
- 31:10Speaker 3: suffice for now.
- 31:10Speaker 1: Press do you digest those digits? Where do you lean?
- 31:16Speaker 3: Flip cooin? Flip cooin? I think this is and which is?
- 31:20Speaker 3: You know, if you look at those those models that
- 31:23Speaker 3: exist out there, I look at three or four a week,
- 31:24Speaker 3: they're all within a point or two here, So just
- 31:28Speaker 3: flip it because it's it's nearly impossible to handicap turnovers
- 31:32Speaker 3: and that's such a massive part for both of these teams.
- 31:37Speaker 2: Here's his stat for you.
- 31:39Speaker 1: Is this an h oo?
- 31:41Speaker 2: I got this from CBS Sports, then Kerchible so far
- 31:47Speaker 2: this season teams ahead by ten with four minutes to go,
- 31:54Speaker 2: or one hundred and fifty and oh.
- 31:58Speaker 1: Say that again.
- 31:59Speaker 3: That's not right.
- 32:00Speaker 1: Say that again.
- 32:01Speaker 2: It's not right.
- 32:02Speaker 1: No, because West Virginia, well Virginia has a loss. We
- 32:04Speaker 1: lost time.
- 32:05Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Well we're we're one hundred and fifty up
- 32:09Speaker 2: until until last Saturday.
- 32:12Speaker 1: Thanks Tob, appreciate that number. Well, it's just I mean,
- 32:18Speaker 1: if you look at the percentage of victory, it was
- 32:20Speaker 1: ninety nine percent all right to the end. Know who
- 32:22Speaker 1: also had one of those last week was TCU. They
- 32:25Speaker 1: were running ninety nine percent win win win win winning
- 32:27Speaker 1: and didn't happen. You see the UCF scout.
- 32:33Speaker 3: Hold on, Can I do two more?
- 32:35Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 32:35Speaker 3: You haven't hit the outro music yet, have you?
- 32:37Speaker 1: Now we're still on live, We're still in.
- 32:39Speaker 3: The commonly CPA spreads on staff second two.
- 32:41Speaker 1: They're still buying it ahead.
- 32:44Speaker 3: Let's go ahead and just unload a bunch of bunch
- 32:46Speaker 3: of stuff here. Talking about Garrett throwing the ball downfield.
- 32:49Speaker 3: Our defense is preventing that with the style that they're using.
- 32:53Speaker 3: Seven and a half yards per attempt so far for Garrett.
- 32:57Speaker 3: That's down a full yard from last season. So we
- 33:01Speaker 3: just haven't seen that big over the top. Can someone
- 33:03Speaker 3: shake loose behind this defense and hit a big play?
- 33:08Speaker 3: Gotta have a receiver get down there and get open. So far,
- 33:10Speaker 3: almost every time you see West Trains receivers running deep,
- 33:12Speaker 3: there's somebody stuck to their their hip. Gotta get somebody loose.
- 33:16Speaker 1: There's another one's been There's been a few long ones
- 33:18Speaker 1: that were catchall.
- 33:20Speaker 3: You want to know who else you want to see
- 33:22Speaker 3: get loose? Who else would you like to see get
- 33:24Speaker 3: loose from this offense.
- 33:25Speaker 1: I'm anyone, I'm indifferent. Doesn't matter to me. If it's
- 33:28Speaker 1: a if it's a ball boy.
- 33:30Speaker 3: Well, okay, who's the most likely one to get loose
- 33:33Speaker 3: in space?
- 33:34Speaker 1: In the space Galagher trailer?
- 33:37Speaker 3: Right, you're over thinking it, Jaheim White?
- 33:39Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I thought you were talking about passing.
- 33:41Speaker 3: Thought like to get Jaheim White going in twenty twenty
- 33:44Speaker 3: four this season, so far through three games, only twenty
- 33:47Speaker 3: seven percent of his yards have come on runs of
- 33:50Speaker 3: fifteen yards or more. Talk about a big play offense, right,
- 33:53Speaker 3: only twenty seven percent. Last year, fifty five percent of
- 33:58Speaker 3: his yards came on runs of fifteen yard. So that's
- 34:01Speaker 3: a guy. Hopefully you can get cranked up, get him
- 34:03Speaker 3: to the edge, get him to pop a couple. Mm
- 34:08Speaker 3: hmm Okay, now I think that's it.

- 41:06Speaker 3: to get involved in the distribution process, we can get
- 41:08Speaker 3: your job.
- 41:08Speaker 1: No, that's fair.
- 41:09Speaker 2: I don't want to be involved at all. I just
- 41:11Speaker 2: want to show up. So that's fair.
- 41:12Speaker 1: You give the guy a free head. All of a
- 41:14Speaker 1: sudden he becomes Bill Gates, trying to run the whole operation.
- 41:16Speaker 1: There's a distribution, warehousing, logistics. I want to talk about distribution.
- 41:22Speaker 1: I'm not satisfied with our distribution. All right, here we
- 41:25Speaker 1: go Text to a healing Jacob Lewis writes in from
- 41:29Speaker 1: Fraser's Bottom, I'm a first time Texter, longtime listener. Things
- 41:34Speaker 1: have gone downhill since we got rid of the glossy
- 41:36Speaker 1: blue helmets.
- 41:38Speaker 2: Correlation not causation.
- 41:39Speaker 3: There's a group there that loves those glossy helmets.
- 41:42Speaker 1: By the way, if you think that that finish has
- 41:44Speaker 1: led to the down hall, jake up there.
- 41:46Speaker 3: He'll be happy to know the baseball team going with
- 41:48Speaker 3: glossy finishes on their batting helmets this year.
- 41:50Speaker 1: Really, Hey Jack, Jed Jerko back over in the program
- 41:54Speaker 1: is how.
- 41:54Speaker 3: Great is that?
- 41:55Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 41:55Speaker 3: Great hire by old Steve Sabins.
- 41:57Speaker 1: There. By the way, if you're coming into the game
- 41:59Speaker 1: for the week and Friday night, which is Tomorrow night,
- 42:02Speaker 1: twenty September, six o'clock six thirty Mountaineer Baseball team intersquad scrimmage,
- 42:07Speaker 1: free admission into the stadium. They're gonna have it. It's
- 42:10Speaker 1: fun time, really super chilled out for Lacks. If you
- 42:12Speaker 1: want to go see the Mountaineer baseballers tomorrow night.
- 42:14Speaker 3: That is pretty cool of Jed too. Wanting to be
- 42:16Speaker 3: back involved in help I talk about a wealth of knowledge.
- 42:18Speaker 3: You think those guys want to listen to a guy
- 42:20Speaker 3: played played almost ten in the show.
- 42:21Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they'll hope got a road named after him?
- 42:25Speaker 2: Got a road name after him? Averaged over four hundred
- 42:28Speaker 2: over four hundi as a Mountaineer player, played eight years
- 42:32Speaker 2: in the show. That's a good run.
- 42:34Speaker 1: What Hobby's got a road named after him? An Eastern Panhandle?
- 42:37Speaker 1: No outlet Texter for Brad Howe, more likely licking the
- 42:47Speaker 1: pit wounds. Not quite over that loss yet, but I
- 42:49Speaker 1: turned the page. In Kansas, Kansas and West Virginia seasons
- 42:53Speaker 1: mirror each other. Our losses were to better power for
- 42:57Speaker 1: teams than they're alli. NI in Nevada defeats both teams,
- 43:00Speaker 1: not a UNLV Yeah, same thing. Both teams have failed
- 43:03Speaker 1: to meet expectations, which mean what happens Saturday could determine
- 43:06Speaker 1: the direction of the rest of the season, making it
- 43:09Speaker 1: a desperate game for both teams. One in three is
- 43:11Speaker 1: a light year from two and two. Okay, this is
- 43:14Speaker 1: your boy, I think is this your boy? Yeah? This
- 43:16Speaker 1: is Doug and Bridgeport. So he puts some hypotheticals in here.
- 43:19Speaker 1: I would hit a couple of these ready, listen. Is
- 43:22Speaker 1: it more likely that West Virginia can hold them below
- 43:24Speaker 1: two hundred yards rushing or that West Virginia gives up
- 43:28Speaker 1: two twenty five passing? Say that again, more likely you
- 43:33Speaker 1: hold them under two hundred rushing or that you give
- 43:37Speaker 1: up over two twenty five passing.
- 43:39Speaker 3: So what this s is hop each week on sports Line,
- 43:41Speaker 3: we'll go, we'll do a more likely scenario like this.
- 43:44Speaker 3: Which of the two scenarios is more likely to happen
- 43:46Speaker 3: in your opinion? Does a nice job. I'm putting some
- 43:48Speaker 3: of these together.
- 43:49Speaker 2: I think more likely that you hold them to under
- 43:52Speaker 2: two hundred yards rushing because in three games they got
- 43:55Speaker 2: seven thirty eight, we even two four to six. That's
- 43:58Speaker 2: over two hundred. Oops, A maanth is wrong them. I
- 44:01Speaker 2: don't know what's bred. What's the answer there?
- 44:02Speaker 3: I don't got to look kind of.
- 44:04Speaker 1: Texts same one. Is it more likely that West Virginia
- 44:07Speaker 1: goes for over one hundred and seventy five on the
- 44:09Speaker 1: ground and control the game, or that we hold Devin
- 44:13Speaker 1: Neil to seventy five yards or less of rushing. I
- 44:18Speaker 1: think you need one seventy five for West Virginia on
- 44:20Speaker 1: the ground to be.
- 44:21Speaker 3: I have a little more.
- 44:22Speaker 1: Well, I'm saying, at a minimum, is it more likely
- 44:26Speaker 1: that Garret Green completes sixty five percent of his passes
- 44:29Speaker 1: and throws for two hundi or that Kansas gets on
- 44:32Speaker 1: the right side of the turnover battle for the first time.
- 44:35Speaker 2: Sixty five percent would be nice. It's so far been
- 44:38Speaker 2: elusive for g Green.
- 44:42Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd go for the sixty five percent.
- 44:44Speaker 2: Every day.
- 44:46Speaker 1: Kansas has lost the turnover battle every game, including the
- 44:49Speaker 1: one that they won. Jalen Daniels has thrown a pick
- 44:52Speaker 1: in each game. We haven't had a pick. The immovable
- 44:54Speaker 1: force meets the irresistible object. Doug closes his sermon the game.
- 45:00Speaker 1: It is a perfect get right for West Virginia. They
- 45:02Speaker 1: run it well but can't throw it. We stop the
- 45:04Speaker 1: run and need work defending the pass. If we don't
- 45:06Speaker 1: give this game away, we win and we have them here. Brad,
- 45:10Speaker 1: use this or not any way you see fit. So
- 45:14Speaker 1: he gave you Carte blanche. That could do. By the way,
- 45:19Speaker 1: we've done a horrifically bad job. Love. What on Parkersburg Brewing,
- 45:24Speaker 1: What do you mean At times on this program in
- 45:27Speaker 1: its history we may have overtouted something, maybe exaggerated.
- 45:34Speaker 2: What do you mean the royal we Yeah, just it's
- 45:37Speaker 2: a good point.
- 45:38Speaker 3: Hop probably not a wee.
- 45:39Speaker 1: In all seriousness, you know, we kid around sometimes and
- 45:41Speaker 1: use the world World champion. I knew this, but I
- 45:44Speaker 1: didn't I forgot, you know, in all seriousness. Parker's Burg Brewing,
- 45:47Speaker 1: who makes our beer Connection three or four. They won
- 45:50Speaker 1: a World Beer Cup World Championship in twenty eighteen in
- 45:55Speaker 1: a national in a competition, so I thought that was
- 45:59Speaker 1: pretty neat. They actually have a world champion beer.
- 46:02Speaker 2: So you combine that with a world champion biscuit.
- 46:06Speaker 1: This is a world champion show all we're doing. Ted
- 46:11Speaker 1: and Warrington, Virginia, also known as the train Guy. I'm
- 46:15Speaker 1: checking in from Ocean Course at Kiawa Island for a
- 46:18Speaker 1: work event. Naturally my caddie, of course. He's a twenty
- 46:22Speaker 1: twenty WVU grad from Beckley. He's also a Three Guys listener.
- 46:26Speaker 1: Hoping you can shout him out as we both try
- 46:28Speaker 1: and overcome the pit depression.
- 46:31Speaker 3: We're doing it wrong. I went to Kew Island this summer.
- 46:33Speaker 3: Didn't get to a course. Us there for our work function.
- 46:35Speaker 3: Didn't get to a course.
- 46:36Speaker 1: Well, when you stay for more than four hours, you
- 46:38Speaker 1: can get on the course. You and Neil buzz down
- 46:41Speaker 1: there on big timers and out. What was that for
- 46:46Speaker 1: speaking speaking? He flew him out of the morning. It
- 46:49Speaker 1: came back he was he was here by two o'clock.
- 46:51Speaker 1: Back by two.
- 46:53Speaker 2: Who was speaking? You or Neil both?
- 46:56Speaker 1: Thank you?
- 46:57Speaker 2: Wasn't aware of it.
- 46:59Speaker 1: He got a big paycheck on that they'd asked for
- 47:01Speaker 1: you and he said, hop he's unavailable.
- 47:06Speaker 3: Beautiful. Oh yeah, saw the ocean for a minute and
- 47:09Speaker 3: a half. Texter right into a conference room.
- 47:14Speaker 1: Three guys, I need you to ask that on this
- 47:18Speaker 1: can you confirm or deny that West Virginia also has
- 47:23Speaker 1: received this name, image and likeness deal from Tutor's Biscuit World.
- 47:28Speaker 1: Roll that bean video please.
- 47:30Speaker 4: But I feel good about the track we're on and
- 47:33Speaker 4: I feel good about the players we have. I would
- 47:36Speaker 4: love to have some of those guys from Ohio State too,
- 47:38Speaker 4: So if they want to transfer on down, we've got
- 47:42Speaker 4: a Tutor yeah, Tutor's biscuit nil all you can eat.
- 47:47Speaker 4: So if any of those guys that run really really
- 47:50Speaker 4: fast at Ohio State like Tutor's biscuits, I promise you
- 47:53Speaker 4: all you can eat all day if you transfer here.
- 47:57Speaker 1: So but yeah, yeah, I mean that's Marshall coach Charles
- 48:02Speaker 1: Huff and he let it be known that anyone wants
- 48:06Speaker 1: to go there, they get unlimited Tutors biscuits. I think
- 48:08Speaker 1: we can open three guys can also open that deal
- 48:10Speaker 1: up right.
- 48:11Speaker 3: The challenge of that, though, is we've often discussed what's
- 48:13Speaker 3: all you can eat? Mean? Is it like one and
- 48:15Speaker 3: a half and your fulcaus are so damn big.
- 48:18Speaker 2: He was on my public Affairs program you still do
- 48:21Speaker 2: that show? I do Mondays and Thursdays cool, and he
- 48:25Speaker 2: just he kind of said, I was just joke and
- 48:26Speaker 2: I was just joking. And I guess, like in today's
- 48:29Speaker 2: you can't say anything anymore.
- 48:30Speaker 1: Why how did he get in trouble?
- 48:32Speaker 2: I don't know, but it felt like he was, you know,
- 48:35Speaker 2: kind of back. It was just he was just joking.
- 48:37Speaker 1: And what's a funny line. It is it's a funny line. Yeah,
- 48:40Speaker 1: But we also strongly, we strongly support tutors providing biscuits
- 48:47Speaker 1: for nil opportunities. Linemen would definitely be able to eat too. Kickers,
- 48:52Speaker 1: they're probably down to one, probably one mountaineer biscuit.
- 48:55Speaker 3: And uh, I don't know our guy Allie likes to eat.
- 48:58Speaker 3: He did a nice job when he was in here
- 48:59Speaker 3: with us. He did those sausage rolls had some breading
- 49:02Speaker 3: to them.
- 49:03Speaker 1: Yeah, he took down. I saw his parents before they
- 49:06Speaker 1: went back home. They saw the pit game last week,
- 49:09Speaker 1: and I had to think they had to be thrilled
- 49:11Speaker 1: when he faked that.
- 49:11Speaker 2: Punt pac Man straw.
- 49:20Speaker 1: Gentlemen, since my first text was the first one Tony
- 49:24Speaker 1: red last show, I am declaring myself a p one listener.
- 49:27Speaker 1: It also helps soften the blow you three delivered on
- 49:29Speaker 1: my birthday last year when you refuse to let me
- 49:31Speaker 1: crash at your houses after the Charles Wesley Godwin concert
- 49:35Speaker 1: in December. Happy's words, that's a hard no. Still wringing
- 49:39Speaker 1: my ears and haunt my sleep. I think is this
- 49:43Speaker 1: the real reason homeless Dave is homeless? I am not
- 49:46Speaker 1: ready to bury the hatchet and move on Kansas awaits
- 49:49Speaker 1: and I've got a good feeling will straighten things out.
- 49:51Speaker 1: Saturday Sun by p One Scott in Stafford. I do
- 49:55Speaker 1: remember when you said that that's a hard no.
- 49:58Speaker 3: Texter.
- 50:01Speaker 1: I love you guys, but you have to do one
- 50:04Speaker 1: thing for me. You have to stop with this wildly
- 50:07Speaker 1: unscientific postulating that because we won or lost to a
- 50:12Speaker 1: certain team in a certain year in the third game
- 50:14Speaker 1: determines what outcome is for the year. It doesn't help anything,
- 50:18Speaker 1: and it's just not correct. It doesn't even reach the
- 50:20Speaker 1: level of causation or correlation. Signed cleat Us in Charleston.
- 50:26Speaker 3: Who's he talking to us?
- 50:27Speaker 2: You all did that on sports line, didn't you?
- 50:29Speaker 1: What do we say that if you're want to say if.
- 50:31Speaker 2: You're one in three? We were talking about that yesterday.
- 50:33Speaker 1: Last the last time West Virginia went one in three,
- 50:36Speaker 1: they went one and four and finished eight and five.
- 50:40Speaker 1: What year was that?
- 50:41Speaker 2: Mid eighties?
- 50:41Speaker 1: And Rich's, uh, yeah, Rich was, oh he's there three
- 50:45Speaker 1: or o five?
- 50:46Speaker 3: So I'm confused. Who said I don't know who said
- 50:48Speaker 3: because they lost a pit that's going to do the
- 50:49Speaker 3: rest of that doesn't matter? Understand?
- 50:51Speaker 2: Was that was?
- 50:51Speaker 1: That?
- 50:52Speaker 2: Was that when Pat White started playing?
- 50:54Speaker 1: No, that was when we got We got rolled and
- 50:58Speaker 1: then Maryland beat us in the bowl game, but we
- 51:00Speaker 1: had put a streak together of seven in a row.
- 51:03Speaker 1: I looked it up as oh five, was it five
- 51:05Speaker 1: or oh three? I'll look it up. It might be three.
- 51:07Speaker 2: Look it up.
- 51:08Speaker 1: Matt from Scranton, PA. First time, long time I was
- 51:12Speaker 1: listening to your pit review and one thing stuck out
- 51:16Speaker 1: on a game by game basis players need to make
- 51:18Speaker 1: plays is undoubtedly true. The pit game not played in
- 51:21Speaker 1: a vacuum. Though. If a team is consistently underperforming the
- 51:24Speaker 1: standard five or six out of six years, it's no
- 51:27Speaker 1: longer the guys you have just don't make the right plays.
- 51:30Speaker 1: It's either a failure of recruiting, development or game management.
- 51:34Speaker 1: Never ranked during the season two and fourteen against the
- 51:38Speaker 1: top twenty five conference record, twenty and twenty four overall,
- 51:42Speaker 1: thirty two and thirty one, six games under five hundred
- 51:45Speaker 1: against Power four. I know that you guys made that
- 51:48Speaker 1: comment within the context of the pit game, and I
- 51:50Speaker 1: think what you said was true regarding that. The big picture, though,
- 51:53Speaker 1: the problem is that the pit game was not an aberration.
- 51:56Speaker 1: It is the new norm. Love the pot. Appreciate you guys.
- 52:00Speaker 1: I just feel I digress with that assessment. Well, I
- 52:03Speaker 1: would say to you to your point, You're right. The
- 52:09Speaker 1: pit game was one game. Let's let the thing play
- 52:11Speaker 1: out and let's just I'm totally with you, but let's
- 52:16Speaker 1: take the number. Look after it's all over, so let's
- 52:19Speaker 1: not think that the complete meal is cooked here. Let's
- 52:23Speaker 1: see what they do in the next nine games.
- 52:28Speaker 2: It was two thousand and three too, You're right, start
- 52:31Speaker 2: out with a loss to Wisconsin, beat East Carolina, lost
- 52:33Speaker 2: to Cincinnata, lost to Maryland, lost to second rank Miami,
- 52:38Speaker 2: then got out our role Rutgers, Virginia Tech, UCF, Boston College,
- 52:42Speaker 2: pitt Syracuse, Temple all wins.
- 52:47Speaker 1: Rich is in a tough one right now. They got
- 52:49Speaker 1: Southern miss this weekend and they have had a bad start.
- 52:53Speaker 1: He I think they're rowing three.
- 52:55Speaker 2: It was I got a check and see what was
- 52:56Speaker 2: on the two thousand and three team Texter Rashe is
- 53:00Speaker 2: that Reshid Hall of Famer Rashid Marshall.
- 53:03Speaker 1: Correct Texter. Just watched the Falcons WINCYE. Just watch the
- 53:10Speaker 1: Falcons go eighty yards and four passing plays in one
- 53:13Speaker 1: minute against the Eagles professional secondary defenders. So why is
- 53:17Speaker 1: everyone offended when this happens against amateur college players? People
- 53:20Speaker 1: need to get real signed by Grayson in Hilltop Texter.
- 53:26Speaker 1: Like they say on the Bear, every second counts a
- 53:30Speaker 1: football game. Three thousand, six hundred seconds. In the seventy
- 53:34Speaker 1: two hundred seconds West Virginia has faced pitt and Penn State.
- 53:38Speaker 1: Thirty seconds at the end of the first half killed
- 53:40Speaker 1: the Penn State game, and the last two hundred and
- 53:43Speaker 1: forty seconds of the Pit game caused the loss. Ninety
- 53:46Speaker 1: six percent of the seconds played Mountaineers were winning or
- 53:48Speaker 1: competing to win. Coaches need to get these players focused
- 53:51Speaker 1: on every second this week, because that Kansas QB can
- 53:55Speaker 1: put a TD on the board in a matter of
- 53:57Speaker 1: a second without more focus, he will. Texter as your
- 54:04Speaker 1: official podcast history and here is a summary of episode
- 54:09Speaker 1: number five hundred and seventy four in haikup form gomart
- 54:15Speaker 1: best Service. Big Brad wants recy cup now, Who wouldn't comply?
- 54:22Speaker 1: Ps the fellow with the list of WVU themed dog
- 54:26Speaker 1: names forgot my three favorites dog Hannas Hairbear, that's Aubrey Barks,
- 54:36Speaker 1: Rodney Growliger. I love the show Pete from Pennsboro. Those
- 54:43Speaker 1: are really good, by the way. Speaking of Johannes Harebear
- 54:48Speaker 1: in town this weekend to be celebrated with the Elite
- 54:50Speaker 1: eight basketball team the twentieth anniversary. Great to see, It'll
- 54:53Speaker 1: be great to see.
- 54:53Speaker 2: Joe, did you follow up on trying to get coach
- 54:57Speaker 2: Bline at three Guys Tailgate?
- 55:00Speaker 1: I have not efforted that yet, but I think I
- 55:02Speaker 1: can do that.
- 55:03Speaker 2: Okay. Is that two thousand and three team is pretty
- 55:07Speaker 2: good team? A lot of players on that bad way.
- 55:10Speaker 1: Texter, At what point will you guys stop defending him?
- 55:16Speaker 1: It's his sixth season, it's his recruiting class, It's his offense,
- 55:20Speaker 1: his defense, his play calling, his game management. He is
- 55:24Speaker 1: ultimately responsible for the Mountaineers being left out of the
- 55:26Speaker 1: top twenty five since twenty eighteen. He had his chance.
- 55:30Speaker 1: It's on him. If this team doesn't win at least
- 55:33Speaker 1: seven or eight games, he needs to go.
- 55:38Speaker 2: Look, I understand the dissatisfactory the pit loss is devastating
- 55:43Speaker 2: in so many ways, and an athletic director, if he
- 55:48Speaker 2: or she's doing their job, they're constantly evaluating the state
- 55:52Speaker 2: of in every program. That evaluation. They cannot afford to
- 55:57Speaker 2: be emotional. They can't be emotional. Fans are expected to
- 56:01Speaker 2: be emotional. They will be emotional because they're vested, so
- 56:04Speaker 2: an athletics director has to have almost a detached view
- 56:08Speaker 2: of it. They can't be too high or too low
- 56:10Speaker 2: based on a win or a loss. They have to
- 56:11Speaker 2: evaluate the program objectively, and I believe that rin Baker
- 56:17Speaker 2: is in a constant state of doing that. So you're
- 56:21Speaker 2: not going to fire the coach after a disappointing couple
- 56:24Speaker 2: of losses. You're just not going to do that. Doesn't
- 56:26Speaker 2: make sense financially, it doesn't make sense in terms of
- 56:30Speaker 2: how you run a program, but I would. But this guy,
- 56:34Speaker 2: rinn Baker is on it and he's in a constant
- 56:36Speaker 2: state of evaluation. So, as you've said, Tony many times,
- 56:40Speaker 2: you have to let it play out, see what it does.
- 56:43Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting. So I assume if West Virginia
- 56:46Speaker 3: beats Kansas this week, it'll be ranked, right, because that's
- 56:50Speaker 3: what happens. Illinois beat Kansas and got ranked, and Illinois
- 56:55Speaker 3: wins are Eastern Illinois and Central Michigan. They got ranked because.
- 57:00Speaker 2: They beat Kansas when everybody thought Kansas was a.
- 57:02Speaker 3: Big deal and Kansas came out of the rankings. UNLV
- 57:05Speaker 3: got the win and they get ranked. They have wins
- 57:08Speaker 3: over Houston, who fired its coach and is rebuilding. You
- 57:11Speaker 3: taw Tech in Kansas. That wasn't there, so we got right.
- 57:15Speaker 3: So I assume you get ranked if you beat Kansas. No,
- 57:18Speaker 3: you're not going to be ranked Texter they got ranked. No,
- 57:22Speaker 3: but that's is the used tau Tech win. Did it
- 57:25Speaker 3: for Vegas? I think it was.
- 57:27Speaker 2: You know, it's it's the win when you when you
- 57:29Speaker 2: beat somebody who everybody thinks is good.
- 57:31Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 57:31Speaker 3: There, Yeah, I didn't think that's how it worked.
- 57:35Speaker 1: I've had a few days, gentlemen, to digest Saturday's game.
- 57:38Speaker 1: I could use one of those Tutors biscuits to soak
- 57:40Speaker 1: soak up the extra beers I drank Saturday night to
- 57:43Speaker 1: numb the pain. But I digress. A few key points
- 57:46Speaker 1: that need to be looked at. Garrett isn't running as
- 57:48Speaker 1: much as he should. We need him out of the pocket.
- 57:50Speaker 1: He's more dynamic there cee J. Donaldson running stretch and
- 57:54Speaker 1: Jaheim running between tackles. A lot of curious play.
- 57:57Speaker 3: Calling, except I'll tell you what stretch you get a
- 58:01Speaker 3: block that's a touchdown.
- 58:04Speaker 1: Most concerning, Neil keeps referring to personnel. That's a quick
- 58:07Speaker 1: way to lose the locker room. Most guys have been here.
- 58:10Speaker 1: The new guys started on decent Power five defenses last year.
- 58:14Speaker 1: How about the coaching personnel taking accountability? You know it's
- 58:16Speaker 1: bad when your coordinator is deleting his Twitter account right
- 58:20Speaker 1: after the game. Texter Connection three oh four is an
- 58:26Speaker 1: okay name for your new beer, But I think you
- 58:29Speaker 1: missed a great opportunity. Why not continue the kerch Aveil
- 58:33Speaker 1: theme of naming the new beer after one of the
- 58:35Speaker 1: Three Guys podcasters This time around. You could have honored
- 58:38Speaker 1: Brad by naming the beer Howdy Duty Appalachian al You've
- 58:43Speaker 1: had a catchy, memorable name that was personalized to the
- 58:45Speaker 1: Three Guys brand. What's not to love? It just rolls
- 58:48Speaker 1: off the tongue tony. As an added bonus, there's already
- 58:52Speaker 1: another beer named Howdy Beer. You could just steal their
- 58:55Speaker 1: marketing campaign, add duty to the logo. You may have
- 58:59Speaker 1: even do some unsuspecting Howdy Beer drinkers into buying Howdy
- 59:02Speaker 1: doty beer. There it is, There are the pictures of
- 59:05Speaker 1: Howdy Beer.
- 59:07Speaker 2: No, we we honor copyrights here at three Guys don't
- 59:12Speaker 2: want to get any I legal problems. Absolutely, Plus, if
- 59:14Speaker 2: you go Howdy I'm sure somewhere there's a howdy duty
- 59:16Speaker 2: protected rights thing and we don't want to do that.
- 59:19Speaker 2: Plus connection three oh four is what.
- 59:22Speaker 1: Is the consistent theme of the state of the state.
- 59:26Speaker 1: This is the show that brings the people together across
- 59:29Speaker 1: the aisles. Three, guys, here's an update on your over
- 59:33Speaker 1: and unders. A quarter of the way through the season.
- 59:37Speaker 1: Rushing attempts so far, there have been one hundred and
- 59:40Speaker 1: fourteen through three games. That translates to four point fifty six.
- 59:44Speaker 1: The trend is toward the under, and Brad was the
- 59:47Speaker 1: only one that took the under preseason number two yes
- 59:52Speaker 1: or no to a one thousand yard rusher. Right now,
- 59:55Speaker 1: Cjy's on track for nine eighty four, would just miss
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: team leader for individuals sacks over under five and a half.
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: We all went under, and right now TJ. Jackson's on
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: course for ten. Garrett big time throws according to Pro
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: Football Focus thirty three and a half. I don't have
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: access to Football Focus, he says. Brad's going to have
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: to do that. Cole Taylor catches. He's trending toward four.
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: I went over. The other two guys went under. That's
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: enough of that, Texter. Hello, two point seventy five guys.
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: I know it's already been said about the refs in
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: the backyard brawl. I think it was all covered well
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: on the recap. My question, why was a Big twelve
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: crew when it was a non conference game on the road.
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: Wouldn't that normally be a neutral conference crew? Matt from
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: the Ville. The two schools when they signed the contract
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: to play the game, they decide then which officials are
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: going to be used. So Big twelve on the road
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: up there a pit. The ACC fellas were down here
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: last year. That's just the way they did it. They
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: don't cross crew anymore like they used to in the
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: old very rarely. Like they won't bring an SEC crew
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: in on a full Saturday. I don't think there is
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: that luxury, to be quite honest with you, there's not
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: enough crews. SEC is playing their full schedule, so that's
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: not like the old days of the classical Southern independent officials.
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: By the way, they should give you some I raising.
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: It's very rare when you see the coach of the
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: winning team and the losing team both furious with the officials.
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: Yeah, Texter, Hello, first, I'm a climb truster. I still
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: feel to Neil, but the staff teaching the defensive backs
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: not to look back for the ball and keep the
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: eyes on the receiver has been one of my biggest peeves.
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: Nick Saban and Bill Belichick liked the strategy, and some
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: coaches still do. But wide receiver coaches are teaching how
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: to exploit it. I think they're winning. What do you
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: guys think about it? I feel like it's not talked
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: about enough in the college football world. And they sent
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: that there about they simulated Here's what I think. I
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: don't give a crap. If they look at the receiver,
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: look at the quarterback, knock the fricking ball down.
- 1:02:14Speaker 3: Knock it down.
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: I don't care if they go sideways and they got
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: Martian ears On, knock the ball down. Do your job,
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: keep it in front of you. Randy from State College rights,
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: can't get much worse?
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: Oh, yes it can. It can always get worse. How
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: low can your stock go?
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: Market was crushing today? Huh?
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: I know, but I'm saying how low can it go? O?
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: I understand how Randy says, can't get much worse. This
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: past Saturday, I'm traveling back from Boise, Idaho to pitt
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: with a layover in Dallas. Lovely flight leaves just as
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: the game's about to start. I pay for Wi Fi
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: so I can watch the game. Shaky first half, Mountaineers rally.
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: I feeling good. We're up by ten, five minutes to go.
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: At this point we start the descent into Dallas and
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: the Wi Fi gets turned off. You know, under ten
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: thousand feet, no sweat. What can happen? Defense playing well,
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: we're running the ball effectley. I reached the ground. I
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: turn off of the airplane mode so I can watch
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: the finish and share the celebration. Less than a minute left,
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: and I cannot believe what I see. This can't be happening,
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: but it was, and it did. Painful some days it
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: really hurts to be a Mountaineer fan. I love the show.
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: There's a picture Hopy of you with these folks, oh
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: at a recent food court. Very nice, Yeah, very nice people.
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: I had two friends of mine who were at the
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: pit game, and they said, was five minutes ago Pitt
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: fans were leaving leaving it.
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: I was done, it was done. It was over. It
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: was done. You look up the tape when you're watching
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: the tape of the last two drives, it was like
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: they had left text you, guys, I have tickets to
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: the Kansas game this weekend, and I'm going with a
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: friend of mine who fancies himself as a Marshall fan.
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: He's never been to Pushcar Stadium before, and I'm wondering
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: what's the protocol for this situation. Should he support the
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: home team or stay true to his fandom even though
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: they are not playing. Sorry for the long text, but
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: need your help. Keep up the good work, big o'
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: from Saint George.
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: So's the question, should the Marshall fan should he for
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: West Virginia's rack.
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: That's basically the question.
- 1:04:18Speaker 2: It's up to them. It's a personal decision, right. Just
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: enjoy the just to en enjoy the atmosphere. You don't
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: even have to cheer for. Just enjoy the enjoy the event.
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: If you're coming in Friday. By the way, they're starting
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: to do something that's really neat on Friday nights. They're
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: giving tours of the Pushcar Center Friday evening.
- 1:04:34Speaker 3: Talk to somebody that did that last home game. They
- 1:04:37Speaker 3: were blown away, said it was awesome.
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: It's really neat. You might want to check that out.
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: I shouldn't say that without telling you where to go.
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: But like six or seven o'clock. I think seven o'clock.
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: Maybe they do it. You have any idea of bright
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: I looked it up. It looks up a pushcar Center
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: tours Friday night.
- 1:04:53Speaker 3: Should be should be something on the website of WU
- 1:04:55Speaker 3: sports dot com that you can get to and sign
- 1:04:57Speaker 3: up for that efforting ben Right.
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: I recall last year some conversation about the secondary playing
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: a different scheme than they had previously, some sort of
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: hybrid matchup zone. Is this year's team supposed to be
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: running that same scheme? Are there any specific dbs that
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: are being targeted by opposing offenses? Thank you? If you
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: remember last year they made some in season changes scheme wise,
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: I think there'll be more efforting on that now coming,
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: more coming. So I found this. I got a solution
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: for a past problem that we've had on the podcast.
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: You know how sometimes people write texts that are too long. Yeah,
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: so I had this idea today.
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: I know what you did.
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: I copy the text, okay, and I go to Chad
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: Gpt and I say, reduce this to one hundred words.
- 1:05:59Speaker 3: Oh that's a good idea. It worked.
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: Hell of a deal. Seawan and Florida Sewan, I love you,
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: But you and Dante have something the same. He wrote
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: the Inferno, and you wrote the same length of the Inferno,
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: so I cut it down. He says. Mountaineer fans might
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: be looking forward to baseball season Construction underway on a
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: new indoor facility, which, along with the turf field, should
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: help us compete warmer weather programs. Growing up in West Virginia,
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: hard to imagine year around baseball. Here in Central Florida,
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: even the coldest days are better for baseball than Morgantown's
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: early season when I played, we often had to practice
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: in the gym or muddy bopark fields. Looking forward to
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: seeing if the program can build on last year's success. Absolutely,
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: Coach Saban's doing a fabulous, fabulous job. So let's confirm
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: something you did or did not go and harass the
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: Gomart employees again this week?
- 1:06:55Speaker 3: Did not just got gas? You did not go inside
- 1:06:58Speaker 3: the store? Okay, because I didn't harass him last week either.
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: For the record, Yeah, you guys have Matt and Mark bullshit.
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: Nineteenth of September, as we were.
- 1:07:10Speaker 3: What should I have done? I want to know where
- 1:07:12Speaker 3: the big races.
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: Were, but usually like walk in the door, you're coming
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: to go.

- 1:08:03Speaker 1: I've chosen Nebraska for their tradition and Matt Ruhle. Lastly,
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: with conference realignment, specific bowl games tied the leagues, could
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: we see bowl matchups between teams from the same conference?
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: How would that affect conference win and loss records? Philip,
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: I'll be quite honest with you, my friend, you got
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: too much time on your hands. I don't know how
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: it would affect conference win loss records. I don't think
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: we'll ever get to that, to be quite honest with you,
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: they won't match conference teams up together. They'll figure something
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: out there.
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: I can't find this tour, Okay, I can you can
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: find out?

- 1:09:13Speaker 1: I have to keep myself from ordering two mountaineers at tutors.
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: I can easily eat too, but I know that it's
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: best that I don't. Can we still win the Big twelve?
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: Is this question? Yeah? Mathematically you can. You've given no
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: indication to this point that you're ready to do that,
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: But could you mathematically?

- 1:10:55Speaker 3: We've been around it, been in that building daily. It
- 1:10:58Speaker 3: doesn't even look remotely close.

- 1:11:43Speaker 1: or wherever you tailgate and walk over or get a
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: getting an uber that's probably the best way. It gets tight,
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: real tight. It gets tight, and the weather's supposed to
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: be super gonna be hot, and it's gonna be hot.

- 1:12:27Speaker 3: You know that.
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: You guys know I know him.
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: That's of course. It goes back to the nineteen sixties
- 1:12:33Speaker 2: when alleged when supposedly there were a couple couples who
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: were parked somewhere and they saw this creature come zooming
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: in and it looked like a giant moth with red eyes.
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: They fled the area. The Mothman followed them, and there
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: have been reportedly one hundred sightings since then of the Mothman.
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: So they have a not true.
- 1:12:57Speaker 3: So they have I'll do respect to the moth Man.
