• 2:09
  Wendell Marine Sales in Saint Albans. They sell family fun. Visit lou Wendelmarinessales
• 2:15
  dot com. I just got back from the basketball tournament in Florida and happened
• 2:21
  to see a ton of pontoons. I mean a ton in Cape Coral Bay,
• 2:28
  probably all from Loulendel Marine. Every one that I could everyone that I
• 2:30
  could find. Plus let me tell you about one that wasn't a pontoon that
• 2:34
  I saw that I went like, WHOA. Three guys also brought to us
• 2:37
  by the Conley CPA group providing value beyond the numbers. They'll bring us spreads
• 2:45
  on stats. What are the keys for West Virginia to get a victory over
• 2:47
  the Baylor Bears Conleys CPA group providing you value beyond the numbers. All right,
• 2:53
  let's do this thing. I hope that y'all did have a great Thanksgiving
• 2:59
  opportunity to get together with family and friends and enjoy the food, the fun.
• 3:07
  And now here we go one month basically of overeating with regularity, I
• 3:12
  think pretty much for the next month. That's just kind of what happens.
• 3:15
  If if you can keep your weight where it is as of today for the
• 3:19
  rest of the month through the New Year's that's a heck of an accomplishment.
• 3:24
  So anyway, about the boat real quick, so that we were where we
• 3:29
  were staying was right on the water, and so you could there were these
• 3:30
  docks that were walking as there was a ton of pontoon boats. But I
• 3:34
  went by one it looked kind of like Pontoon or another it was. No,
• 3:38
  it wasn't a pontoon, but it was kind of in that family cousin
• 3:42
  of a pontoon. And it was all black and dark looking and it was
• 3:47
  it just looked like bad Boy. And so I walked up and had the
• 3:52
  Homeland Security logo on it. So it was something that they used to probably
• 3:57
  run people down. And I say run people down because it had four three
• 4:00
  hundred and fifty horse power engines on the back of that bad Boy, and
• 4:04
  you could tell like when that thing would go, it probably went like it
• 4:06
  was one of these. It just so you know, they weren't water skiing
• 4:10
  off the back. They weren't pulling Aunty two. No, it just looked
• 4:14
  a little bit like it had some armament on it. It was like,
• 4:16
  whoa, I guess we're here. We're in Florida looking for smugglers and something
• 4:20
  doing, someone doing something anyway, ain't no smuggling here, man, Well
• 4:26
  there is. We're smuggling some honey and some some coffee. Boy, I'll
• 4:29
  tell you what coffee Early Morning record that the coffee things are going. Thanks
• 4:33
  everyone for taking part an episode eight hundred and the Holiday Christmas category catalog copy
• 4:41
  is still waiting for his paper catalog to be sent to his home effort.
• 4:45
  Thanks checking the mailbox. Things are going great. If you haven't done your
• 4:46
  shopping yet, we got a lot of good stuff at episode eight Hunter dot
• 4:50
  Com. All right, I talked to Rusty the other day about the coffee.
• 4:53
  Rusty the rust Mount roasting on their roasting. Yeah, it does our
• 4:57
  coffee, sure, flying off the shelves, flying the shells. Really.
• 5:00
  Yeah. He was having to do a whole nother batch and repackage and get
• 5:02
  shipped. Here's here's how you know it's good. Here's how you know it's
• 5:05
  good. I'll tell you why it's good. I've had three people drink it.
• 5:10
  Didn't tell them what it was. I just like, may make coffee.
• 5:13
  Hey want coffee, Okay, we're gonna make coffee. And you pour
• 5:15
  it out there and they go like unsolicited, They give me the old what's
• 5:19
  really good? What's this? I go, oh, really you like that?
• 5:21
  Huh? They go, yeah, really good. Plus my son Matt,
• 5:25
  he's up. He's a coffee snop. You know that. Shock.
• 5:29
  Why wouldn't he be coming from you? Hey, coffee's now? He says
• 5:31
  this, This is this is really good stuff, really good stuff. So
• 5:34
  yeah, he knows. So the store is open stor that you can get
• 5:38
  it at Mountaineer Roasting here in Morgantown or episode eight hundred dot com. So
• 5:42
  the world champion Mountaineers leave today, we record on Friday, and tomorrow night
• 5:46
  they play the Baylor Bears. Eleven am. Would have been real nice,
• 5:49
  but any way, they're not going to move it now, so we closed
• 5:53
  the regular season. Happy kerchieval, Yes, sir. I asked this question
• 5:58
  last night on sports Line to Coach Hunter and the Senator, give you a
• 6:03
  ESPN thing. What if I told you on August fifteenth that West Virginia would
• 6:11
  go into its final regular season game searching for an eighth win, a sixth
• 6:16
  league win? What would you say? You'd take that all day? I
• 6:23
  mean you would, you'd be oh wow, really, geez, well,
• 6:26
  how's it? I mean you would. That would be beyond expectations. Right,
• 6:31
  No, Tony, this game. You ever see the movie Christmas Vacation?
• 6:34
  Sure, Oh, it's a classic classic. And they're all gathered around
• 6:40
  the dinner table and the turkey's overcooked, and Clark Griswold puts the knife in
• 6:46
  the turkey. Boy, and the Turkey just deflates. Yeah, Brad,
• 6:50
  I'll due respect to Baylor. They're the Turkey ready to deflate. They've lost
• 6:56
  their last four games, five of the last six. Blake Shelton is starting
• 7:00
  quarterback, is out. And I just wonder how enthused the young men were
• 7:03
  to spend Thanksgiving week preparing for their natural rival West Virginia, with the students
• 7:09
  going this, just go finish the Turkey. Okay, you don't even have
• 7:14
  West Virginia. And we've said, I don't think any game where we've said
• 7:17
  like that West Virginia. Each game we've said West Virginia must play at a
• 7:20
  high level. You don't have to play at the highest level. You've got
• 7:25
  to play well. Okay, you gotta play well, not make a bunch
• 7:28
  of mistakes, but just just be solid and go down there, take care
• 7:31
  of business. Let bay Or start their vacation and come home with a win.
• 7:35
  That's where you are in this game. Yeah, carve the turkey.
• 7:41
  Why are you staring at him? Well, because he's right, first of
• 7:45
  all, speaking on Christmas vacations, do you see Athletic director Ran Baker had
• 7:48
  a tweet yesterday to put out tweet his mom was in town. They were
• 7:53
  having Thanksgiving. He had sweitz shirt was really good. Said you serious,
• 7:57
  Clark, big Christmas vacation for Hoppy's right, and get that on tape.
• 8:07
  Hoppy's right. And I'll say this, I've been wrong on the matchup each
• 8:11
  of the last two weeks. I thought they would both be close. Neither
• 8:15
  was close, one going in the opposite direction. I'm with you on this.
• 8:18
  I just it just makes me a little nervous when you started to talk
• 8:24
  like that, it's over, They're done. It's weird college football. You're
• 8:28
  on the road. But yes, Baylor's really struggling. There's a lot of
• 8:31
  chaos around them. Is Dave Randa coming back? Is he not? They've
• 8:35
  they've won three games, one of them's over Long Island University, their FCS
• 8:39
  opponent there. They're going with a backup quarterback, you know, Blake Shape,
• 8:41
  and it had a pretty good year on a team that had struggled.
• 8:45
  Sawyer Robertson has struggled more. I'll get to him coming up in our stats
• 8:50
  segment. But you're one hundred percent right. It's just can West Virginia pick
• 8:54
  it's performance up and move it down to Waco and I think you're right,
• 8:56
  even if it's not as good as it was last week, should get the
• 9:00
  win. But weird things happen in college football makes me a little nervous when
• 9:03
  you're that definitive. Yeah, let me give an asterisk to that is that
• 9:09
  don't let them because look, there's still athletes, there are still players.
• 9:13
  Don't be midway through the third quarter and have the Baylor players think, oh,
• 9:16
  you know what, what the heck we're in this game, we may
• 9:18
  as well compete and try to win the things. Yeah, they don't want
• 9:20
  that to happen. Yeah, I agree with you, but I think this
• 9:22
  to further your case if you want to go on that side of it.
• 9:26
  We've said all year, and we said it last week. This West Virginia
• 9:28
  team has been very good in moments where it needed to bounce back or where
• 9:31
  it needed to listen to the message that was being pushed by the coaching staff.
• 9:35
  And I think this is another one. I think you've got a group
• 9:37
  of guys that wants to finish the regular season strong. They've had a good
• 9:41
  season that exceeded expectations. You can finish this off over a team that you
• 9:45
  should beat by the way the Lion is pushed out to double digits now with
• 9:48
  the Blake shape and news. So yeah, go in and do what you
• 9:50
  do, even if it's not at an A plus level like it was last
• 9:54
  week, and you should walk out with a win. If you lose this
• 9:56
  game, don't start no are I'm just going to characterize it. If you
• 10:01
  lose the game, it's the worst loss of the year, worse than Houston
• 10:05
  because Houston was kind of an aberration, was weird. This is the end
• 10:07
  of the year. If you lose, it's the worst loss of the year.
• 10:09
  M Yeah, because they have Houston had its starting quarterback and Baylor does
• 10:15
  not. Yeah, you would say that you. The way I'm looking at
• 10:18
  the standings, the way things probably play out when it all is done late
• 10:26
  tomorrow, is that West Virginia with a win, would finish fifth. Texas
• 10:31
  will beat Texas Tech. They'll be eight and one. Oklahoma State, I
• 10:35
  think, will beat BYU at home. They'll be seven and two. Oklahoma
• 10:41
  TCU they'll be seven and two. Case State will beat Iowa State seven and
• 10:46
  two, and then West Virginia will be six and three. In Iowa State
• 10:48
  will fall to five and four. So that's what they're in all likelihood is
• 10:54
  going to be unless you get Unless you get chaos, which you haven't really
• 10:56
  had this year. You hope it doesn't happen. Well, we wouldn't mind
• 11:00
  it if something happens get you a better finish. But you know, starting
• 11:03
  today, when these games are played, there's gonna be something that's gonna make
• 11:07
  everyone give it the old double take. People have been waiting all season.
• 11:11
  Yeah, it really hasn't happened. There has not been a lot of upsets.
• 11:15
  Yeah, across college football, let alone in the Big Twelve. But
• 11:18
  it happens. It's when you think it isn't going to happen, is when
• 11:20
  it happens. That's when it happens. So everyone says, no, there's
• 11:24
  no upsets this year. There haven't been any upsets this Yeah, no,
• 11:26
  no, no, And then we're gonna I'm just thinking hoping because I love
• 11:31
  it when it gets stupid. Oh yeah, you like it, don't you?
• 11:33
  When it gets crazy. I would be all for stupid this weekend except
• 11:35
  in Waco. Yes, like, just let that go according to script.
• 11:39
  Handle your business, Baylor, all the respect. Go on to basketball season.
• 11:41
  Worry about next season. What you're gonna do Westeram goes in, wins,
• 11:45
  run for three point thirty and gets out of it. I like that.
• 11:48
  Yeah, to your point, I was thinking earlier today that there are
• 11:52
  a few sports that are more difficult to play when you're not mentally in it
• 11:58
  than football. And to your point, Hoppy that those kids at Baylor are
• 12:03
  going in West Virginia's not a rival, they've had a bunch of losses,
• 12:05
  they don't have their quarterback. They're just that this is not the game to
• 12:11
  play when you're not one hundred percent ready to go. I think wrestling you
• 12:16
  get exposed when you're not ready. Football you could get hurt, and wrestling
• 12:22
  you could get hurt. Like baseball if you're not into it, no one's
• 12:26
  really getting hurt, right like the ball might go over the outfielders had any
• 12:30
  I didn't get that one. This sport, if you're not ready, you're
• 12:35
  you can't do it, you know, And there may be now I know
• 12:37
  it would be this would of course be against the rules, whatever the rules
• 12:39
  are. But there may be instances where there are pretty a couple pretty good
• 12:43
  players on the Baylor team where people associated with him might be getting inquiries and
• 12:48
  say, well, listen, young man, you know, things aren't going
• 12:50
  well there. We're not sure who the head coach is going to be next
• 12:52
  year. I think they're going to run the option. So would you be
• 12:56
  interested in other opportunities? So that's against the rules, Hoppy, Oh,
• 12:58
  you can't do it. And so the rules to contact the young men,
• 13:01
  so that can't that can't have it's not happening. No, but everybody follows
• 13:03
  the rules, so nobody has been contacted. I am sure, okay,
• 13:07
  got it. Yeah, you're exactly right. None of that's going on.
• 13:11
  Or hey, you need to stay healthy here. You can't afford you can't
• 13:16
  afford an injury. So you know, if you have to sit this one
• 13:18
  out because of hurt feelings, you know, just let them know. And
• 13:22
  what a what a story about Baylor? I mean two years ago they were
• 13:26
  they what won? They won the league, won the Big twelve one of
• 13:30
  Sugar Bowl, won a Sugar Bowl, Dave Randa Coach of the year.
• 13:33
  Yeah, what we're twelve and suit tenant whatever they were. And now they're
• 13:39
  talking about fire. I don't I'm not sure it's gonna get fired. I
• 13:41
  don't know. So but and with a with a payout of like fifteen to
• 13:43
  twenty million dollars by rough estimates, or a private school you don't get those
• 13:46
  numbers. But with that, with that kind of payoffs, I'm not sure
• 13:48
  Brad if he's going to get fired. But there's talk about it. Well,
• 13:52
  it's we see it all the time in this sport. Mean, TCU
• 13:54
  is going through the same thing. Right, they thought everything was great,
• 13:56
  great, great, great gray we played for a national championship. They're not
• 13:58
  going to go to a bull. They went from a national championship experience to
• 14:03
  not a bull. So specifically to the Baylor situation, Hoppy, it's a
• 14:07
  bigger story. It's not David Randa when it comes to x as and O's
• 14:13
  what he's being criticized for is his difficulty in embracing nil his slowness. Well,
• 14:24
  yeah, because he's a different dude. He is a different dude.
• 14:28
  He truly believes in fairness and building a team and everyone is treated well and
• 14:37
  everyone's treated the same. And he's come out and said, I have a
• 14:41
  real difficulty of making everything transactional to say that he Brad is worth x and
• 14:48
  Hoppy is worth Why he struggles with that, right, And I understand it
• 14:54
  from that standpoint right, that's don neiln esque, but unfortunate. The train
• 15:01
  has left the station and the Baylor fans are screaming and waving their hands,
• 15:05
  going like, hey, that's all great, but we're getting passed over by
• 15:11
  all of these players and we don't have the same players that they do or
• 15:16
  that we used to when Arthur Briles was the head coach there. So that
• 15:22
  is the issue. It's as philosophical as it is strategic. They love the
• 15:26
  guy, but it's him saying I don't feel comfortable doing this like this.
• 15:33
  Yeah, they've they've had flat, flat fees for their football players. Everybody
• 15:37
  makes the same. He's since come out and said, okay, fine,
• 15:39
  fine, I'm I'm open with you get what you get. Market bears it
• 15:43
  and I think the I think his is his philosophy is admirable. Okay,
• 15:48
  I get it. I mean I think that that in a perfect world you
• 15:52
  could appreciate that. But you know, wouldn't it be pretty to think?
• 15:54
  So, I mean that's just not the world that you're in now. So
• 15:58
  that's that's kind of what's going on there. And I think it's Baylor's got
• 16:02
  Baylor got a little money. You think Baylor got a little money. All
• 16:04
  those texts. There's no Texas school that's poor, right, there's no say
• 16:10
  no, I mean, I'm talking at the Power fives. There's no Texas
• 16:11
  school that's running around going like, hey, how were we going to make
• 16:15
  ends meet? There isn't Houston Power fives, Power fives, and no one's
• 16:21
  no one because there it's kind of funny if you get down in that world.
• 16:26
  I mean, it's the alums against the alums. Oh is that right?
• 16:30
  Oh a, and m's gonna pay this guy this much? Oh yeah,
• 16:33
  okay, and here comes the other dude. Oh right, fine.
• 16:36
  We saw the whole LSMU thing when they went on probation or got the death
• 16:38
  penalty was exactly that. We're not gonna let these guys out bit us.
• 16:42
  You know, I mean this with all due respect. No you don't,
• 16:45
  I do, stop I do. Let's move on. Stop talking about Baylor.
• 16:48
  They can go fix their own things. What are you saying, well,
• 16:52
  they'd go fix your own problems. No one sat here and worried about
• 16:53
  West Virginia's problems last year when everybody's piling on picking them last ha ha,
• 16:57
  laughing, giggling, ha ha. So Baylor. I'm sorry. I hope
• 17:00
  plus Ernion goes down, runs it right up your throat, down your throat,
• 17:04
  and it's a ball game, and you move on and you guys can
• 17:07
  figure out what you're gonna do in the off season. Well, I wasn't
• 17:08
  feeling sorry. I was just letting people know what the summary will sorry for
• 17:11
  you in this league when you're down, Hopey, I know, and cross
• 17:15
  college sports, if you're down, you got to fix yourself. No one
• 17:18
  understood, understood, agree with you complete. In fact, I was thinking
• 17:21
  about that when I was thinking about what to say about this game. I
• 17:23
  took your philosophy into consideration. I just think that Tony and I were trying
• 17:27
  to give it some depth to what the Baylor situation is. Kinla, what
• 17:32
  you do on that talk line, you provide Far and Balance Wednesdays, Faron
• 17:36
  balance coverage. Yeah. Absolutely, three guys before the game, Bross gets
• 17:41
  stats. So that's that's I want to talk about West Virginia. Baylor can
• 17:44
  fix itself in the off season. Yeah, well hope they don't. Anyway,
• 17:47
  three guys before the game, tell you what that Baylor basketball they figured
• 17:51
  out that NIO. Yeah, three guys before the game is brought to us
• 17:57
  by Komac's business assistant. Think about this if you're a business owner and you
• 18:02
  have that headache all the time of Okay, are we safe with our data?
• 18:06

• 18:08
  efficiency? Well? Comas can help you out. Number one. They can

• 18:14
  need help. They can also help you with remote monitoring and checking your stuff
• 18:18
  out to keep everything operating smoothly. You don't want to have that one day
• 18:22
  that comes and they say systems down, networks down, everything's down. You
• 18:26
  run around go like whoop, whoop, whoop. I've seen that happen to
• 18:30

• 19:03
  some pretty impressive numbers because he has I kind of think he get in the
• 19:06
  field that he's kind of indicating to us that he wants to get into the
• 19:08
  numbers he is and that's good because his numbers are epic. Oh give him
• 19:14
  macket epic numbers. All right, so, uh see, boy, this
• 19:18
  is gonna be problematic. Here we go, Here we go, here we
• 19:21
  go. I do you have to just go with that Black Friday? We're
• 19:26
  just going to stingers. You gotta get in and you gotta get out off
• 19:29
  the chaos in the store getting and get what you get your TV for two
• 19:32
  dollars and get out. How about if I play this three second sting thirteen
• 19:37
  times will make up for the regular run our game out here Fumbling Stabs start
• 19:41
  today. Spreads on Stats is brought to us by the Conley. We had
• 19:45
  a technical issue, Well it wasn't a technical issue. Was that TV two
• 19:49
  dollars but they only have one and you've got to beat off nine people to
• 19:53
  get it. I started last night going okay, anyway, three guys before
• 20:00
  the game. Spreads on Stats is brought to us by the Conley CPA Group.
• 20:04

• 20:48
  way, So Austin's our producer. So Austin that picture I have with Joe
• 20:52
  Reese? Can you fire that one up? So this is an indication of
• 20:56
  how advertising works. So I was there having a lunch. Where are you?
• 21:02
  I'm in Florida at the restaurant at the hotel, at the motel,
• 21:04
  and this gentleman comes up to me, introduced himself Big three Guys. Listener
• 21:10
  says that right, Joe, what's your name, says Joe. Reese said,
• 21:12
  Joe, good to see you. So what's your deal? Would you
• 21:15
  do? So he's he's worked like seventy two different states all over the world.
• 21:21
  Attorney then went back and got with an accounting thing. He's a tax
• 21:26
  attorney. He starts riffing off all the things that commonly CPA group does.
• 21:30
  He goes, you know, they provide he provide remotes. He gave me
• 21:34
  they provided remote CFO service. I said, you're right there, buddy.
• 21:38
  Advertising, advertising in podcasts stays in your brain. So Joe's a great guy,
• 21:45
  and he attended. He attended both the games, and UH had a
• 21:48
  good time. So thank you Joe. Thanks Joe. He knows Conley CPA
• 21:52
  group. All right, let's do this thing. What are the numbers you
• 21:55
  need to sting again to get your set up? No, I think I'm
• 21:56
  okay. We can dive it. This is one. So here's the deal,
• 22:00
  here's the matchup. Hoppy you ready, Yes, as you so eloquently
• 22:03
  laid out, We'll just go and do what you do. Baylor's defense has
• 22:07
  really struggled to stop the run. There's only four Power five teams that have
• 22:10
  given up more rushing yards per game than Baylor has. So you may not
• 22:15
  get the four to twenty four you got last week, but line up and
• 22:18
  handle them on the ground. Do what you do there, analysis over go
• 22:22
  ahead, and it's stinger when go on to the texts, you're just run
• 22:26
  the pumpkin. You run the pumpkin. Now they did hold TCU and check
• 22:30
  tc You only ran for one hundred yards last week, Well how many they
• 22:33
  throw for four seventy one? So we'll say run the ball though, just
• 22:41
  do what you do. Yeah, right, okay, here we go.
• 22:44
  Let's dive into some weeds. You're ready, yep, Yeah, that's really
• 22:47
  the analysis though, that's I'm being glib, But just go run the football
• 22:51
  like you've run it and you should have. Your point being brand is that
• 22:53
  this is your strength. You should be able to execute your strength against a
• 22:56
  team whose biggest weakness is stopping your rength. So you do have a good
• 23:00
  matchup. But let's get just some So this is kind of a hodgepodge of
• 23:04
  some different things that have come up or stats that I found interesting. First
• 23:08
  of all, Garrett Green, let's talk some more about him. How important
• 23:11
  has his running ability been to this offense? Very so there's a number that
• 23:15
  I've referred to a bunch thank you that was rhetorical as like I chime in
• 23:19
  as we go. That's very good EPA. I've used that before. So
• 23:25
  that's Exvironmental Protection Agency expected points added. So it's defined as the total change
• 23:30
  in the offenses expected points that come on run plays. Okay, go back,
• 23:37
  total change in the offenses expected points that come on run plays. So
• 23:44
  as you have successful run plays, the points you're expected to score increase on
• 23:48
  successful places. So it's basically a way to measure success or non success in
• 23:53
  a run or as not a particular run, just the ability to run.
• 23:57
  No, every run, every run, every running play changes your EPA either
• 24:03
  positively or negatively. If Garrett Green, you guys really struggle with these advanced
• 24:06
  stats. If somebody takes off the rue we didn't, we didn't do it
• 24:10
  real good in the math, I mean good, Lord, you run for
• 24:14
  thirty two yards on a play, you are expected to score more points coming
• 24:18
  up than you did previously if you're prior to the run expected points added.
• 24:25
  So it's a measure that defines your success. We're going to talk about rushing
• 24:27
  EPA right now. Garrett's total rushing ep on the season is twenty seven points,
• 24:34
  So his rushing ability has added twenty seven expected points to your total.
• 24:38
  Okay, here's where that's important. The next best quarterback EPA in the Big
• 24:44
  twelve when rushing the ball John Rice Plumbley with three point nine to two points.
• 24:49
  Gosh, Garrett is nine almost nine times better rushing the football than anybody
• 24:56
  else in this league quarterback wise? Is that important in terms of the fact
• 25:00
  of his run, in terms of his impact of his runs on your offense
• 25:03
  scoring points, which is the whole point of the hope You know, the
• 25:07
  point of the offense is to score more points than the other team understood,
• 25:10
  So how about that almost nine times more than the next quarterback in this league?
• 25:14
  His importance and co's wild. Yeah, So the twenty seven points don't
• 25:17
  running. It's the fact that he's twenty seven and number two is Plumbly at
• 25:21
  three point ninety two. That's pretty good, all right. Speaking of running
• 25:23
  the football, Jaheim White is currently Pro Football Focus's highest graded freshmen in the
• 25:30
  country. Nice paging Country roads, trust Paging Country roads. Trust. Well,
• 25:40
  we do a fun drive during our broadcast till all an all kidding aside
• 25:45
  and as simple as this sounds. So when other schools, right they start
• 25:48
  to put their list together of who they want to go get, what do
• 25:52
  they do? Okay, who's like some young upcoming talent they enter in the
• 25:56
  data en, it's going to go like, guess who there he is.
• 26:00
  So you think a dynamic running back that's the highest graded freshman in the country
• 26:03
  has received some phone calls already, Well, you can't do that. It
• 26:08
  may not be on his phone, but all the all the folks that have
• 26:12
  touched to him around York, Pennsylvania and things like that. Sure, that's
• 26:19
  that's a wow. Give that. Give that Jeam White highest graded freshman in
• 26:23
  the country from Pro Football Focus ninety one point nine grade ten games into the
• 26:29
  season. I can see why he led the Brown Mentioned index. Now,
• 26:33
  yeah, we we did tab him as a as a Heisman front runner.
• 26:38
  You know what, in all seriousness, we should not be far off.
• 26:41
  We should go back and find seriously, we should go back and find out
• 26:44
  when the first time you said that was so he could just do a big
• 26:47
  post called it early. So that does beg the question, though, how
• 26:52
  does West Virginia compete n IL wise when you do have a player like that,
• 26:57
  with schools that have have I don't know five times the nil resources is
• 27:03
  West Virginia. What's West Virginia? You got three million, four million,
• 27:07
  five million, two and a half million. I mean, so how do
• 27:10
  you compete? But how do you compete of Georgia's you know, nice to
• 27:12
  have a Jahem White, even if he doesn't start. I like to have
• 27:15
  the young man down here well because that's where the So the money's a driving
• 27:18
  force there. And then it's got to come down to the other things.
• 27:19
  You've got to stay. You've got to look at all right, who's the
• 27:22
  offensive line coming back? I like playing behind those guys. I like my
• 27:25
  coaching staff. Then that other stuff starts to starts to play into that.
• 27:27
  It's not going to come down to just straight money. But you better pay
• 27:30
  him. But you better find him some money. Yeah, I mean,
• 27:36
  there's no question. You got to figure it out, all right, figure
• 27:38
  it out all right, Jeem White, highest grade freshman in the country.
• 27:41
  Matchup you want to match up specific matchup? Yes, let's say you have
• 27:45
  to throw the ball a little bit, okay, TCU didn Let's say I
• 27:48
  have thrown a little bit. Cole Taylor versus Baylor's defense that has struggled to
• 27:55
  contain tight ends. Baylor's defense has Baylor has given up the most yards in
• 28:00
  the Big Twelve to opposing players lined up at tight end and the third most
• 28:04
  touchdown passes to tight ends. Opposing cornerbacks also have thrown zero interceptions when trying
• 28:11
  to throw to the tight end against Baylor's defense. Baylor's defense has the worst
• 28:17
  total EPA in the Big Twelve on passes thrown to tight ends. You can't
• 28:21
  stop the tight end. Should have a big day. Jared Wiley ate him
• 28:23
  up last week and a forty two to seventeen TCU Win had seven catches one
• 28:29
  hundred and seventy eight yards, two receiving touchdowns, and I think he was
• 28:32
  named Big Twelve Offensive Player of the Week for that performance. Let me ask
• 28:33
  you this, do you, off the top of you had what did you
• 28:37
  have as your preseason prediction on Cole Taylor going into this game? Does he
• 28:41
  have to hit some certain milestones to get your mark? It's interesting. Thank
• 28:44
  you for asking. We did not discuss this, but my next thing on
• 28:47
  here says speaking of Cole Taylor and our over Under preview episode before the season
• 28:51
  began. We had a question about Cole Taylor, right you ready, and
• 28:55
  it was this, Well, Cole Taylor double the average number of receptions for
• 29:00
  a tight end over the last four years. So he took the average number
• 29:04
  of receptions over a four year period and said, well he double that number.
• 29:08
  The over under number on Cole Taylor receptions for the season I set at
• 29:12
  thirty one and a half catches. Cole Taylor's heading into the Baylor game at
• 29:18
  twenty nine catches right now, twenty nine you got a sweating, You got
• 29:22
  a sweat going if you were on that number. We see we should if
• 29:26
  we were properly marketing this show, it would have been like a promotion,
• 29:29
  like everyone gets free French fries if Cole Taylor catches thirty two balls. How
• 29:33
  about that? So the number was thirty one and a half three. That
• 29:37
  speaks to how valuable he has been to this team that he's going to,
• 29:41
  in essence, double the average number of receptions for a tight end over the
• 29:45
  last four years. I'll go further. He's so he's had forty nine targets
• 29:48
  on the year, forty nine targets, twenty nine catches. He has four
• 29:52
  receiving touchdowns. In the last ten seasons, West Virginia has combined to have
• 29:59
  eight tight end touchdown catches. He's got four and he's got four this year.
• 30:03
  The most during the season during that time was two. Wow, So
• 30:07
  there's a look back. We'll go back at the next week or so and
• 30:10
  look at our few over unders we did. But that was one that I
• 30:12
  found interesting. That's that's still in play. He gets three catches. He
• 30:17
  goes over that number, you know. And I had this thought with Eric
• 30:21
  Stevens and the basketballer last season. Some of these guys you just go like,
• 30:26
  jeez, I really wish you could have come here as a freshman.
• 30:29
  But you know, Cole Taylor was like he was a big boy recruit,
• 30:33
  massive big recruit. But anyway, by the way, Coach Stevenson doing well
• 30:37
  for those of you that are wondering playing G League down in Austin, Texas.
• 30:42
  And our friend of the program Joe Mock, who always brings me the
• 30:47
  cookies and the donuts when we go down to Texas that I always bring back
• 30:48
  to the studio. He had Thanksgiving dinner with the Mock family Coach Stevens,
• 30:53
  so they sent me a picture made they made their picture yesterday and sent that
• 30:56
  to me. It was nice. Eric in the house there, good to
• 30:59
  see it. I'll send me. I'm gonna send this too. I'll send
• 31:00
  it to Austin. We'll let everyone see the picture. Like to see him.
• 31:03
  Sure, hopefully get some time at the Big Show this year. It'd
• 31:07
  be nice. Okay, let's go to the defensive side for our one key.
• 31:10
  We hoppy. We might as well finish out the season talking about pressure
• 31:12
  right and getting teams into passing downs. And we'll take a look at that
• 31:17
  after the game. But if West Virginia gets its opponent in passing downs at
• 31:19
  least thirty percent of the time, they win six and zero on the season
• 31:23
  when they have been able to do that. So the reason that that happens
• 31:26
  when you know they're going to pass, what can you do? You can
• 31:29
  bring pressure, you can come Adam. That helps the defensive backs. It
• 31:32
  all works together. Sawyer Robertson is going to be in at quarterback for Baylor,
• 31:37
  and he has struggled under pressure this season, just a forty three point
• 31:41
  seven grade from Pro Football Focus when under pressure, zero big time throws and
• 31:47
  two turnover worthy plays. So get some pressure on Robertson, you should have
• 31:51
  success. And you remember last week was the same with Emry Jones. And
• 31:55
  again, most quarterbacks struggle under pressure, but Jones had really struggled. Westervirginia
• 31:59
  did a nice job of limiting that run game, making them have to throw.
• 32:01
  Jumping out ahead Cincinnati was Now, I think Robertson correct me if I'm
• 32:06
  wrong with the time he's played this year. I think one touchdown, four
• 32:07
  picks is yep. We'll get into that coming up here in just a second.
• 32:12
  So his best grade in the passing game comes when he throws deep.
• 32:16
  On throws of twenty yards or more, he has a seventy four grade five
• 32:21
  big time throws versus zero turnover worthy plays. By the way, happy if
• 32:24
  you're wondering, Yes, he most often and most effectively goes to the left
• 32:29
  side when he's throwing deep, So on the left side downfield when Robertson looks
• 32:34
  to go deep. But there's some opportunity there, right If your best thing
• 32:37
  that you do is throw the ball deep, what's that mean you have to
• 32:39
  have happen to complete a deep ball pass. We're talking time past pro and
• 32:44
  time. Those are the two things right there. So if Baylor thinks it
• 32:46
  can get by West Virgin's defensive backs, and given what you've seen from Robertson
• 32:51
  some of their speed at receiver, I think you try that, right,
• 32:52
  You got to try and hit some big plays. You're probably not going to
• 32:54
  sustain drives down the field, so look for them to hit the ball deep.
• 32:58
  But if they do that, you got to get in there and get
• 33:00
  some pressure on him and Hoppy. You just mentioned the next stat here,
• 33:05
  one touchdown past four interceptions on the year, so I think if you get
• 33:07
  some pressure, there should be an interception or two coming from Robertson. Here's
• 33:12
  the other part, at the very least, if you're West Virginia, drop
• 33:15
  those safeties back and say no, you're not going to throw it over the
• 33:17
  top on us. We think we can handle your run. Why don't you
• 33:20
  try and check down and keep the ball in front of you. Robertson has
• 33:23
  struggled on passes from zero to nine yards, just a thirty two grade from
• 33:28
  Pro Football Focus, two interceptions for turnover worth. He plays in that range
• 33:32
  zero to nine yards, So just don't get be deep. You should be
• 33:36
  in good shape. You brought it to the excellent I'm not done. I'm
• 33:39
  not gonna have wait but wait there's more. Yeah. Last thing on the
• 33:45
  Baylor offensive line of Robertson, it's been through the right guard where most of
• 33:50
  the pressure is come. It's a top ten rate in terms of pressure responsibility
• 33:54
  for the right guard, so come from that side. But Robertson's also been
• 33:59
  responsible for his own pressures at a top ten rate in the league as well.
• 34:02
  He's six among quarterbacks that have played at least five games, so should
• 34:06
  be able to get some pressure. Generally, when rust Vidgin he gets pressure
• 34:08
  on the quarterback, it's turned out well for them. I think as the
• 34:13
  season has matured and your statistics have matured, I think this is your most
• 34:16
  comprehensive analysis. When you say so happy, I would say so calling you
• 34:22
  Sean Martin, calling you Lee Koba. Yeah, calling guys Jared Bartlett,
• 34:27
  Jared Bartlett. Maybe get in there, Yeah, the corner coming, a
• 34:29
  little pressure and then maybe finished with maybe a beanie Bishop I NT. Yeah,
• 34:32
  Yeah, a little high step into the end zone. I can't do
• 34:37
  that as much. You can mini high step. You can't go straight high
• 34:39
  step. They'll throw the flag and take the touchdown away. Yeah. Yeah,
• 34:44
  that's a really good one. All right, So there's football breakdown.
• 34:45
  Good. So what are you feeling? That's what are you feeling? You
• 34:50
  should be okay, do what you do. Just don't go in and be
• 34:52
  weird and have a weird turnover game and not be you got to be engaged.
• 34:55
  Go in, be ready to play, and those two things, I
• 34:58
  mean, the two biggest things for West Virginia. I'm not plowing new ground
• 35:01
  here. If you can run the football, you've had success. If you
• 35:05
  get pressure on the quarterback, you've had success. The numbers tell you both
• 35:08
  of those things should happen in this game. You know what happens spread Sometimes
• 35:12
  when you throw the ball deep, could a pass inference? It's a good
• 35:15
  play for the offense for the ball deep. Maybe the guy catches it,
• 35:20
  maybe he doesn't. Maybe Beanie picks it off, maybe they saw the flag.
• 35:22
  It spins on the crew. Now listen, if you go back and
• 35:25
  review this series, there's never been any pass interference calls in a Baylor West
• 35:32
  Virginia game. Was it six six? It had to be more than six
• 35:39
  six or seven? I thought it was six or seventy. It felt like
• 35:42
  sixteen. That was unbelievable. You talk about a team that couldn't guard somebody
• 35:47
  and just kept fouling. Most penalized game in Big Twelve history, if I
• 35:52
  remember, that's right? Yeah, I think that's right. That was the
• 35:54
  game. I tell this story all the time. That was the game that
• 35:57
  Dana said told the team that when he is really it could tell this striking
• 36:00
  because I thought it was one of his best coaching jobs. So Dana and
• 36:05
  Art Briles coached again coach with each other. When they were at Houston.
• 36:07
  They were both assistants, and I think, I don't know this is my
• 36:12
  characterization. They were fremenies. Okay, right, So fremenies friends enemies just
• 36:17
  like they liked to tweak each other. So when Dana beat him here the
• 36:22
  first game ever in the Big Twelve, you remember, our brows took great
• 36:28
  umbrage to that. So the next year they about blew their scoreboard up and
• 36:31
  they ran us off the field and our only game at Floyd Casey Stadium.
• 36:36
  So like a couple of years ago, Bye and Baylor comes in here and
• 36:38
  they were top five, if I'm not mistaken, number four. I believe
• 36:42
  they were number four, and they were coming in they were strutting. West
• 36:45
  Virginia was okay, but they weren't, you know, they were just there.
• 36:47
  So Dana knew what was going to be because at that time Baylor was
• 36:51
  in its absolute excess mode. They were like Miami was when they had to
• 36:57
  put rules to change the game because the way Miami was acting and they were
• 37:00
  late hitting, and they were doing everything. So Dana told his team during
• 37:05
  the week of practice, he said, here's the deal. He goes,
• 37:07
  this is how these guys play. They're gonna punch you, they're gonna hit
• 37:10
  you late, they're gonna do everything. He said, you can do whatever
• 37:13
  you want, because he said, they're not gonna come in here and bully
• 37:16
  us. They're not gonna they're not going to bully us on our field.
• 37:19
  You can do everything. Accept no punching. Don't like punch someone because then
• 37:23
  that you're gonna get kicked out. Other than that, you can do it.
• 37:27
  And that turned that turned out to be just absolute mayhem. Every play
• 37:35
  was stunned Baylor. They had no expectation that West Virginia was gonna They thought
• 37:39
  West Virginia back down, and West Virginia just kept hammering them and hammering them.
• 37:43
  And hammering Kevin White. They couldn't stop them, kept drawing p i's
• 37:47
  and West Virginia won the game. You could do everything except punch. It's
• 37:52
  always one of the ultimate instructed young men to play. Play through the play,
• 37:55
  play through the whistle. You're not gonna bully us on our fight.
• 37:59
  I was in the pregame interview Friday with him and and he told me,
• 38:02
  he goes That's what I told him, And I want, like, it
• 38:06
  must be interesting to see how this works. I like that next day they
• 38:08
  went out and they did it all right, let's show that picture. I
• 38:12
  just want to make sure everyone knows Eric Stevenson. There's Coach Stevenson. Joe
• 38:15
  Mock and his lovely wife the Mox brought him over for Thanksgiving dinner, and
• 38:21
  Coach Stevens obviously he have plenty of food there for him, and so Jock's
• 38:25
  Joe's kind of taking him under his wing. That's awesome. Yeah, so
• 38:28
  there you go. Coach Stevenson's alive and well, good to see him.
• 38:31
  Okay, before we move on from sets, you want to do a little
• 38:34
  basketball real quick. That comes up, so yeah, we won't have an
• 38:36
  episode before the basketball. Yeah, this is our This is also our Bellerman
• 38:38
  preview. You want to set up Bellerman first with their weird style. What
• 38:42
  they do. They pass it around the perimeter, They look for three point
• 38:45
  shots. They run an old school just motion that's difficult to defend if you're
• 38:51
  not They try and not dribble, right, they limit the number of dribbles
• 38:55
  they have. Oh necessary, try and just pass the basketball. Truly interesting
• 38:59
  style, plastic. Okay, here's some I'm just going straight into the weeds
• 39:01
  on a lot of the team. Here's your scouting report, hoppy ready.
• 39:05
  As you watch on Sunday, keep an eye on the corner threes. West
• 39:08
  NaN's defense is going to have to get out and prevent the corner three.
• 39:12
  Bellerman seven of nine from those spots on the season, seven of nine from
• 39:15
  corner three, So keep an eye on it. But you also have to
• 39:19
  watch the threes from the top of the key. Forty seven percent from three
• 39:22
  at the top of the key. So they like to shoot threes obviously.
• 39:25
  How about this for offensive balance. They have the exact number of threes attempted
• 39:32
  from three different spots on the floor. Wow, left, wing, center,
• 39:37
  top of the key, right, I've not seen that I've looked at
• 39:39
  a lot of teams scouting reports on lot I have not seen that exactly the
• 39:44
  same number of three hoppy as a statistical anomaly. When that is so,
• 39:47
  if you're preparing, if you're preparing your defense, you go, well,
• 39:51
  they shoot from here, but also hit from but they also hit from here.
• 39:52
  That's what you're doing. I mean, is that causation or correlation?
• 39:55
  That's that's a that's troubling, is what. So you gotta defend them.
• 40:01
  You got to defend them all the way around the three point line is basically
• 40:04
  what that tells you. They've got out in transition against some of their mid
• 40:07
  major opponents, but they didn't do it much against Kansas State. So Westradia,
• 40:10
  you'll have to get back and stop those in their wins. And this
• 40:15
  would be a result of the really good passing and they're not standing out there
• 40:17
  dribbling it and pounding it. When they've won, they've hit a bunch of
• 40:21
  unguarded jump shots. Remember that stat from last year. I'll start bringing you
• 40:23
  that. What you shoot when you're guarded, what you shoot when you're on
• 40:27
  guarded. They get a bunch of unguarded shots and generally hit them when they
• 40:30
  get those, so be alive for that. Who's the coach Gene Hackman from
• 40:34
  Who's Yeah, they get a ton of layups, which wouldn't surprise you.
• 40:40
  Threes in layups right, and that passing they'll backdory a little bit. This
• 40:45
  will be interesting to watch them against West Virginia though, because the layups probably
• 40:49
  don't come as easy with Jesse Edwards standing back there waiting on you, so
• 40:52
  that could disrupt them a little bit. They haven't created a lot of turnovers
• 40:57
  defensively. In fact, they're three hundred and fourth Nash so going against a
• 41:00
  West Virginia team that if you highlight one thing that's really caused West Virginia problems
• 41:05
  this year, it's been the turnovers. You shouldn't have a ton of them
• 41:07
  against Bellerman just three hundred and fourth in that area. They do have a
• 41:12
  six to ten center, but he splits time with a six to six center,
• 41:16
  so Jesse Edwards feed feed feed the post. Now, Tony, you
• 41:21
  might ask if they go six or will they go zone? That's a small
• 41:24
  lineup there. Yeah, they only have on one possession all year, one
• 41:28
  possession. They've they've been a man team. Yep, they're one of the
• 41:31
  worst defensive teams at the rim. A lot of that's probably due to that
• 41:35
  size. Opponents are in the ninety seventh percentile of in field goal percentage at
• 41:40
  the rim. So Jesse Edwards could be a big factor. Should be able
• 41:44
  to eat on the offensive end and should cause problems on the defensive end when
• 41:47
  they come in try and shoot layups. So defend the three and you should
• 41:51
  be in good shape here. But also somebody else has to hit shots because
• 41:52
  Jesse Edwards, whenever he gets the ball, six to eight players descend on
• 41:57
  him. Yeah. Usually there's a couple that come off the bench, come
• 42:00
  off the addition to the other guys that have collapsed down, and we haven't
• 42:04
  We talked about it on sports Land, but we didn't talk about the Virginia
• 42:07
  game. Here, we're going to get into some basketball and the textual healing,
• 42:10
  so I guess we could translate into that. But there's your quick scouting
• 42:14
  report on Bellermont. Excuse me, eight thirty eight forty five. I gotta
• 42:16
  go. Why had a show to do you do? What are you doing
• 42:21
  public affairs broadcast? I thought you didn't do them on holidays. Well,
• 42:24
  no, we're here. You mean you prepare for that. I've heard it.

• 42:37
  you something over there, lip bomb boy, you just you dab on a
• 42:40
  little bit more. We're going you can be released. I mean, if
• 42:44
  you need to go at some point, you just whatever makes you just walk
• 42:45
  out. Well, yeah, I want to be the first. That was
• 42:51
  only when I had to go to the bathroom. Iired a soccer coach one
• 42:53

• 43:15

  longtime listener, first time Texter or With the basketball team in desperate need of
• 49:07
  depth, will a Cook return? Will they take on walk Ons, football
• 49:10
  players, transfers anything. I don't know how they can expect to compete,
• 49:15
  survive the Big twelve with eight players help Wan on the WV basketball. Cook's
• 49:20
  health situation is still in discussion. Potentially they will make some Potentially they could
• 49:28
  bring someone in as a recruit in mid season and have them eligible second semester.
• 49:32
  Football players transfers football players coming over to help. I think potentially discussions
• 49:38
  could happen, but there's nothing definitive on that. You don't have to wait
• 49:43
  till semester to be eligible to you. There's other schools in the league that
• 49:45
  have brought guys in in December and they've played like a week later. They
• 49:47
  were in high school then played in college in the same month. Right,
• 49:51
  do you have to wait till the new semester? Oh? No, yeah
• 49:54
  you do, Texter, sure, pretty sure that team want to Professor Vinnie,
• 50:00
  they got they had they had different moves. They had to remove it.
• 50:07
  We prompted your banner effort still, v Hey, by the way,
• 50:13
  banner banner efforting efforting Professor Vinnie here after listening shirts on episode eight hundred dot
• 50:17
  com two. I believe what hashtag HTV hang the banner? Professor Vinnie here
• 50:22
  after listening to the Bearcats bounced. I wanted to let you goes now.
• 50:24
  I'm currently efforting on winning the Mega Millions and Powerball so I can become that
• 50:29
  billionaire for the Country Roads Trust. However, I haven't told my wife yet
• 50:31
  about my plans for the money. Aside from the Christmas music thing, We're
• 50:35
  good, so it should be fine. On a different note, curious how
• 50:37
  you guys like your Thanksgiving turkeys? Brian fried baked, spatch cocked. I
• 50:43
  have deep fried before and it's superior. When's three guys coming out with a
• 50:45
  dry roup, happy Thanksgiving. I eat it anyway they cook it. Hey,
• 50:51
  Austin, here's this one. So Star City post Office. You remember
• 50:53
  how I told you guys they were like unbelievable listeners. Yeah, unbelieve customer
• 50:58
  service there too. I went in there to drop off some postage and they
• 51:00
  said, here, geme here open the door. They let me in the
• 51:04
  back. So that's the back of the post office there in Star City.
• 51:07
  Those guys are terrific. You're in the back. Well, just just popped
• 51:09
  my federal offense. No, I just like popped my head in, took
• 51:13
  the picture and got out of there. But they got there's you can see
• 51:15
  big pants like the Stailers and the mountaineers, and so the guys shout out
• 51:21
  to the Star City Post Office. Guys, what's the rest of that?
• 51:23
  That was like Texas folds. That was one of those things. Remember the
• 51:28
  Dominion post used to put those things in his paper. It was one of
• 51:30
  those things. Thank you, uh Texter, Hello the Star City Post Office.
• 51:35
  Well if High Street High Street are a great guy, yes, how
• 51:37
  about dels. But Star City likes to pump its jest out and say,
• 51:42
  hey, we know the high we know the High Street guys. Like the
• 51:44
  mountaineers, but we love the mountaineers. Textter, Hello, I thought i'd
• 51:46
  assist with the pontoon hunting question. Remember last show, I said, why
• 51:50
  can't you get on a pontoon and go hunting? Oh? Yeah? From
• 51:52
  the the DNR in West Virginia regulations, you may hunt from a motorized watercraft
• 51:58
  if the motor has been completely shut off in progress from the motor has ceased.
• 52:01
  So by the pontoon. Take it to Cheat Tiger Stonewall, Bluestone,
• 52:06
  Somersville. Troll around when you see a buck, shut the engine off,
• 52:08
  drift to a stop, then shoot no good info here you go. So
• 52:13
  yeah, you could do it. By the way, considering some of the
• 52:15
  injuries sustained early this season, I'm super impressed how the coaches rallied the players
• 52:19
  together minus Oklahoma. But you'll have that from time to time. Now let's
• 52:22
  finish off Baylor. I'll take an eight and four all day long. I
• 52:25
  hope the media picks us last again. Hey guys, I need a favor.
• 52:29
  I'm driving up to Morgantown to celebrate my birthday by attending the Charles Wesley
• 52:34
  Godwin concert on the sixteenth. Can I crash at one of your houses that
• 52:37
  night. I won't eat that much. I only snore a little bit,
• 52:39
  thanks Scott and Stafford. Absolutely no, no, yeah, it's no fence.
• 52:45
  That's a hard now. Yeah, that's not even a lean. So
• 52:47
  no, gentlemen, have these nineteen to twenty four year olds improved over what
• 52:52
  they did last year here or wherever? They played all by themselves. How
• 52:55
  about a little credit for the coaches working twelve to eighteen hours to six to
• 53:00
  seven days a week getting the boys to become men. Irvin Morgantown, I
• 53:04
  think that they, except for the Oklahoma game, right, they have done
• 53:07
  a remarkable job getting this team ready to play. All of them, the
• 53:09
  whole group over there, players, coaches, staff, all of them.
• 53:13
  Ye Chawamichi warning in game text Kerchievel for the SMU game, let's go Mountaineers.
• 53:19
  Go ahead. Put that picture of ps. Kerchavel made its way down
• 53:22
  to Orlando for the UCF football game. For me, even though we flew
• 53:25
  from Clarksburg looking forward to the Oklahoma State basketball or the Ohio State basketball game
• 53:30
  in Cleveland, I'll have hopgasm on hand pregame chow Dino and Morgantown. How
• 53:36
  do they get that kershievil flew it down down there. They're starting to fluid
• 53:39
  down down in cargo. They're starting to setting cargo planes down to Florida with
• 53:43
  your beer on there. Texter got to say, it was a lot more
• 53:50
  fun to watch the Mountaineers run the legs off the other team. Exhaustion stinks.
• 53:52
  I love the grit these guys show. The first half was excellent against
• 53:57
  SMU. Signed of great things to come when we get more players. Easy
• 54:00
  group to cheer for. Let's go Texter. Three guys, this is Jamie
• 54:04
  and Vermont. I received a text from my daughter the other evening. It
• 54:07
  read are we road tripping? This was her response to the recent wins by
• 54:10
  the WVU and Vermont men's soccer teams. As fate will have it, WVU
• 54:15
  and VM we'll meet Saturday, third round NCAA. Unfortunately, a road trip
• 54:20
  isn't in the cards. However, plans are being laid for a Mountaineer sports
• 54:22
  extravaganz on the big screen. Soccer at four is a win either way for
• 54:27
  us, but it remains to be seen if the Mountaineers will be singing country
• 54:30
  roads or the Catamounts will be saying thanks for having us. Then on to
• 54:34
  Baylor at seven. Born in Morgantown, raised a mountaineer, live in Vermont.
• 54:37
  You can take the kid out of West Virginia, but you'll never take
• 54:38
  West Virginia out of the kid. Let's go, Hey, speaking of road
• 54:42
  trip yesterday, I don't know where Pitt plays this weekend. I'm assuming somewhere
• 54:45
  on the road because yesterday I saw the pit equipment tractor trailer and I thought,
• 54:52
  I wonder if when you are driving that through West Virginia down High seventy
• 54:55
  nine, your thinking this is a danger zone here. There might be there
• 55:00
  might be some people letting them know that they're number one in their hearts when
• 55:02
  they drive by them. Texter West Virginia connection, Devin, Oh, yeah,
• 55:07
  this is Devn she'll show this picture here. So Devin came up to
• 55:10
  me at the basketball game there, and that's literally where I was working from
• 55:15
  Hoppy the parking lot. I was in the parking lot, I was.
• 55:17
  I was in the concourse behind the basket. So Devin comes up and he
• 55:21
  had his West Virginia connection. Was he went to go play golf, his
• 55:25
  uber driver, his daughter went to WVU, of course, and then the
• 55:30
  card attendant. The card attendant's grandmother was from Wheeling, and he told me,
• 55:36
  he said, I am really skewing your demo down. I'm twenty one
• 55:37
  years of eight. Well that does bring it down. So that was really
• 55:40
  good. Thanks than you had a bad vantage point Tony for that game.
• 55:45
  I understand. And did did they? Did you tell them you're not with
• 55:47
  the student radio station and maybe you could sit courtside for the for the basketball
• 55:52
  event. I don't complain as long as it's fair, as long as all
• 55:55
  as long as all the radio broadcasters are the same part. My boy Matt
• 55:59
  Lapey from Wisconsin. What you wouldn't want them to get an unfair advantage couple
• 56:02
  extra points out of there? What do you care where they are if they
• 56:06
  get a better seat if they were down on the floor and I was up
• 56:07
  in the air. Yeah, no, that one sometimes, what if it's
• 56:10
  the home venue. No, they're always as equal, by the way,
• 56:13
  which one was the three point line, the red one, the green win,
• 56:15
  the yellow one, the black one, the white one, ext one,
• 56:19
  it's a little different there, Which one? Seriously? Which one was
• 56:22
  the last one? The last one? Yeah, the last one's the one.
• 56:27
  Hello? As a WV alum of Hoppy's Vintage. I want to tell
• 56:30
  you how much I enjoy the podcast. The sound of Hoppy's voice brings me
• 56:34
  back to my arrival at Dadisman Hall as a freshman listening to WAJR thank you
• 56:38
  for being the noise canceling headset surrounding the future of Coach Brown. I get
• 56:43
  it that he's paid well in there are expectations that need to be met.
• 56:45
  He's the CEO, captain of the ship and the pilot and command. As
• 56:50
  a pilot, I fully understand that if something goes wrong, it's the pilot
• 56:53
  and command that gets the blame, regardless that set. Sooner or later,
• 56:57
  the players have to play, and they have to play every game. Too
• 57:00
  often, I think the fan base is quick to blame a coach and give
• 57:02
  the players a pass. They too have expectations that need to be met.
• 57:09
  If either of the coaches or the players failed to meet expectations, changes must
• 57:13
  be made. All that said, the Baylor game is a must win.
• 57:16
  Cool signed by Jeff from Ice Station Zebra Canon Dagua, New York. You
• 57:21
  know where that is my mom's hometown. That's one of the finger Lakes.
• 57:24
  Canaondagua Lake. It's one of the finglakes. You should look that up because
• 57:28
  I know sometimes you like to look stuff up. Canon Dagua Lake is one
• 57:31
  of the most expensive places to live in the world. Really don't know exactly
• 57:37
  why, but the real estate and Canon Dagua around Canondagua Lake is off the
• 57:43
  grid. Yeah, one of the highest prices. It's a wonderful place.
• 57:47
  Higher than Cheat Lake, Yeah, Tigre Lake, Tigerland, Cheat Lane,
• 57:53
  Zaarsville, Dalis Sods, blackwater Falls. Listening to Neil Brown's comments about having
• 58:00
  the number four rushing attack in the country wasn't something he envisioned ten years ago.
• 58:04
  He also recognizes it usually takes a deep duel threat quarterback to be successful.
• 58:07
  It's encouraging to me because he's willing to do something I don't feel like
• 58:12
  Dana wanted to do, even though Dana saw it work with Skyler Howard.
• 58:15
  Neil's adapted to a climate that just about precludes the air raid offense in November.
• 58:22
  If you look at Dana's record September October really good. Neil has adjusted
• 58:24
  not just to a historic culture of running the ball, but a climactic but
• 58:29
  a climate that just about demands it unless you have four or five stars at
• 58:31
  the skill. Kudos. I hope he keeps moving in that direction. Steven
• 58:35
  Tennessee. Yeah, it's easier to run it than throw it, obviously in
• 58:38
  the winter when it gets cold. Hey, guys looking forward to Baylor in
• 58:44
  a bowl game. Pleasantly surprised with the team this year. Hope he continue
• 58:46
  the trend onto basketball. Any scenario in which we just play Rayquon battle and
• 58:52
  let it sort itself out later. If not, why not we can't win
• 58:55
  the Big twelve with a cello roster. Dang. Several people have asked this
• 59:02
  question. This is Scott and Columbus. Several people have asked basically this,
• 59:07
  Why doesn't West Virginia just Thumbet's nose at the NC double A and play him,
• 59:17
  shrug your shoulders and just play could you? Yeah? Because really,
• 59:22
  eligibility is only comes into play when it's a championship event, When an NC
• 59:28
  double A sponts event, you could do it, but West Virginia never will,
• 59:31
  won't because it just only opens the door for you down the road that
• 59:37
  they're gonna, they're gonna, they're gonna come back and get you. Because
• 59:40
  it would be you know, you get red flagged, you get red flagged,
• 59:44
  and they just say because then others would see that they do that,
• 59:47
  they do that, then all of a sudden, well guess what what's gonna
• 59:51
  happen is exactly what is going to happen. The NC Double A is about
• 59:53
  to re recreate itself. So a lot of this stuff, to be quite
• 59:59
  honest, that we're talking about today, maybe in three years we look back
• 1:00:01
  on it and go like, well, what that was, no big you
• 1:00:05
  can do it now. But West Virginia is not going to do that.
• 1:00:08
  The battles. Although other schools do, other schools, other schools do bow
• 1:00:13
  up or just do stuff or just do stuff the as far as WVU is
• 1:00:19
  concerned, the Raykon battles, just play players that aren't eligible or illegal.
• 1:00:23
  Just just do it here. The other thing, though, too, you're
• 1:00:27
  jeopardizing battles eligibility as well if you if you're in all seriousness, if you
• 1:00:30
  were to do that, then then he's done. Then he's not He has
• 1:00:34
  no shot of playing college basketball. West Virginia is not doing that. West
• 1:00:37
  Virginia's used what it can with the NC Double A. Now, if there's
• 1:00:42
  any other movement in this case, which there will be, it's going to
• 1:00:46
  be private. Raykwon Battle is going to have to get an attorney and they
• 1:00:51
  will have to take it privately. Now West Virginia's out, They've done the
• 1:00:54
  two the only two things they can do. So that's the that's the deal
• 1:00:59
  there. So last show I said, or a couple of shows ago,
• 1:01:02
  I said, I'd like to know what the what the success rate is of
• 1:01:06
  teams in the Big Twelve that are asked to play two straight road games.
• 1:01:09
  Yeah, Charlie from mid Lothian. Besides gaming the Kroger gas system of where
• 1:01:15
  it gets those points and does that, he did a big expansive study on
• 1:01:19
  it and there was to be honest with Charlie, thank you so much.
• 1:01:23
  I'm not that smart, so I'm trying to figure the thing out. But
• 1:01:25
  basically this is what he took. Teams that have been at back asked to
• 1:01:30
  play back to back road games this season, they're winning percentage in the second
• 1:01:35
  game is forty three percent, which I think is pretty good because number one,
• 1:01:39
  if you're on the road, your chance of winning a road game to
• 1:01:42
  begin with is probably I don't know what the percentage is if you know it's
• 1:01:46
  fifty, you can either win or lose. But statistically in the big twelve.
• 1:01:51
  But anyway, it's forty three percent. But you have But that's that's
• 1:01:53
  that's a good place to start. But that has to be opponent adjusted.
• 1:01:58
  I mean, that's an important caveat. He gave you the whole thing.
• 1:02:00
  He he had something in lines. I mean, he did a heck of
• 1:02:02
  a job, Charlie. I mean we might have to hire you for By
• 1:02:07
  the way, I found a condo on the lake you talked about for nine
• 1:02:10
  hundred How big is it? Fourteen hundred square feet for nine hundred thousand dollars.
• 1:02:16
  Yeah, yeah, it's pretty going. Fait oh, I just put
• 1:02:22
  in a bid for you. Wait a minute, Texter asked this question,
• 1:02:25
  is America ready for super pigs? Got a situation here, folks, what
• 1:02:30
  wild Canadian swine threatening to invade the United States? And this is reading from
• 1:02:34
  the story here a difficult to eradicate population of wild hogs roaming Canada. Officials
• 1:02:38
  worry they're soon going to spill to the United States. Population of the super
• 1:02:43
  pig often consists of cross breeds that combine the survival skills of wild Eurasian boar
• 1:02:47
  with the size and high fertility of domestic swine according to the Associated Press.
• 1:02:52
  So when these pigs come over, the super pigs from Canada, watch out.
• 1:02:55
  Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana already taking matters to prevent an invasion
• 1:03:00
  of the super pig. I'm gonna need a boat a rifle in a lake,
• 1:03:08
  Texter Jeff from Lumberport. I just checked episode eight hundred dot com.
• 1:03:14
  Still no three guys hanky. Yeah, that kind of got a lot of
• 1:03:17
  heat about that, Like are you still you know you can't people talk to
• 1:03:21
  you about that? Well, yeah, it was just like, what are
• 1:03:22
  you doing? Did you use that hanky two days in a row? And
• 1:03:25
  why you can't use a hanky? Because a lot of grief about that?
• 1:03:30
  Thought rightfully? Rightfully away? Yeah, rightfully? So given those, I
• 1:03:32
  mean putting those in your washing machine? Yeah yeah, Well then that stuff
• 1:03:37
  floats around, that's on there, It floats around with all the other clothes
• 1:03:39
  you think of, what about your underwear? All right, Texter. Although
• 1:03:44
  I don't own land in any of West Virginia's counties, when I was in
• 1:03:45
  the fifth grade, I could recite all fifty five counties in alphabetical order for
• 1:03:51
  history class Tony and Brad. Do they have similar classes in your home states?
• 1:03:54
  Or is this a unique West Virginia thing? No, there was nothing
• 1:03:59
  like New York stays like you didn't even know your county, don't I know
• 1:04:03
  mine? But I don't know. I couldn't tell you ten. I could
• 1:04:05
  not tell you ten New York state county. I couldn't give you. I
• 1:04:09
  couldn't give you five. In Iowa. I'm way better at West Virginia geography
• 1:04:13
  than I ever was at Iowa geography. We are very county century after Yeah,
• 1:04:15
  talked about some places are question in light of boat racing Cincinnati. Why
• 1:04:21
  was the initial spot for the Baylor game site so low? Signed by doctor
• 1:04:25
  Jeff and Charleston right, I was six and a half. That's a that's
• 1:04:30
  a heavy road favorite there it's gone. It's really taken off. It was
• 1:04:33
  a I didn't look today, but it was eleven yesterday. Yeah, eleven,
• 1:04:36
  eleven and a half A lot probably after the heavy road news about jumped
• 1:04:41
  you. I went to eight and a half, then went to nine and
• 1:04:42
  a half, then jumped to eleven. On the Blake Shape and News Texter
• 1:04:46
  Tony last episode a Texter asked you, how come Jiheim White only had one
• 1:04:49
  P five offer. I've made it well known on the show that I am
• 1:04:54
  from York, Pennsylvania, although I got to West Virginia as fast as I
• 1:04:57
  could. The truth is, here's the deal. York is not a recruiting
• 1:05:00
  hotbed. York is a mid size city with a lot of athletes, but
• 1:05:02
  in the last twenty years they've only produced a backup quarterback at Penn State,
• 1:05:06
  a few old linemen at pitt and Rutger a punter at Yukon Thanks to Randy
• 1:05:11
  Eetzel, who is from York. Jehem's size was a deterrent, but I'm
• 1:05:15
  glad he's at West Virginia. In fact, I've asked my father to find
• 1:05:17
  his handlers in York and make sure Jeems stays in Morgantown, sun by Aj
• 1:05:21
  in Historic South Park. There you go, this last one, Tony.
• 1:05:28
  What keeps a player from lying and saying that a school a school A is
• 1:05:33
  going to give him X number of dollars no salary cap, and a school
• 1:05:36
  doesn't know if they're bargaining in good faith or not. There's nothing that stops
• 1:05:40
  him from doing that. There's a lot of people to go out there.
• 1:05:42
  Sippens happens all the time. I can get X number of dollars if I
• 1:05:46
  go here, and you know, you try to do your best due diligence
• 1:05:49
  to figure out if that number is accurate. And then sometimes, you know,
• 1:05:56
  you say, well, go get it. Well that this gets back
• 1:05:59
  to schools and the trusts getting good at the principles of capitalism, and that
• 1:06:11
  is how much money do I have? And what is your value? Because
• 1:06:15
  the individual's value is what is your willingness to pay and their willingness to accept.
• 1:06:20
  Okay, so if they say, well, George is gonna pay me
• 1:06:23
  a million dollars, you go, look, I can't pay you a million
• 1:06:25
  dollars. I can't pay you a million one. You know, to us,
• 1:06:29
  your value is one hundred thousand and to whatever. So you have to
• 1:06:31
  be good at determining, based on your budget, what the value of that
• 1:06:35
  player is in the netrial limit. I think bidding war, I think down
• 1:06:40
  the road. This is what happens down the road. And by the way
• 1:06:44
  weekend reading it's the holiday weekend. Ross Dellinger Yahoo Sports wrote a fantastic story
• 1:06:50
  of what is coming in the New Look NCAA, and it's both interesting and
• 1:06:58
  scary at parts. But eventually, I think this is what happens. Schools
• 1:07:02
  will get together and everyone will know. Every school knows how much every coach
• 1:07:06
  makes, Every school knows every number that another school's paying their coaches, their
• 1:07:12
  assistant coaches, their strength coach, everybody. That's all said, eventually,
• 1:07:15
  we're going to get to a point, right brat that schools are going to
• 1:07:18
  know what players are getting. I would think running backs go for this,
• 1:07:21
  this guy goes for this, they'll know and that will create a market normality
• 1:07:28
  that does not exist right now, and there's always going to be an outlier,
• 1:07:32
  but people will know what this is worth. Well, right now it
• 1:07:36
  is just unknown wild West. You're just not sure because the market is finding
• 1:07:43
  itself right now. But until there's a salary cap, until there's a salary
• 1:07:46
  cap, that might be a little forceful, a little strong. Yeah,
• 1:07:51
  it'll find it's love. There's no salary cap with coaches. So what happens
• 1:07:56
  is what you just said, Schools pay what they can pay, and if
• 1:07:58
  you can go get more somewhere else, then you go get more somewhere else.
• 1:08:00
  Same thing with players. I'm just telling you this talking about like the
• 1:08:02
  in the NFL and in other sports, you kind of it determines what a
• 1:08:06
  value of a particular position is based on a salary cap. Yeah, but
• 1:08:10
  see, the NFL has much better, more sane structuring than college sports ever
• 1:08:16
  went through. But we're getting to that point where the big boys, the
• 1:08:20
  power five schools, are going to leave those other schools. Let me just
• 1:08:24
  make an early prediction. You go ahead college. Like I said from day
• 1:08:27
  one, this stuff would come in house, which it will. Yes,
• 1:08:30
  you'll still complain about the governing body of the new, absolutely new group.
• 1:08:34
  There will still be a multitude. I can't buy that. There will be
• 1:08:39
  a lot of complaining about the new structure. Mark that down. I think
• 1:08:44
  we all always get along in college sports. No, you're right, there
• 1:08:48
  was a general there. Recently, a gentleman sent us an unbelievable package of
• 1:08:54
  honey. I mean, mister Anthony Vetty, and I'm going to try to
• 1:09:00
  find this letter that he wrote me. But Senator, if you would,
• 1:09:03
  would you take this honey local honey? Right? Well, yeah, so
• 1:09:06
  I want to find Okay, here is just a small token of appreciation for
• 1:09:13
  what you do for all the listeners. One of my extra curriculars is that
• 1:09:15
  I am a bee keeper. This honey is from my bees in White Post
• 1:09:19
  Virginia. I milk them twice a day. There are a dozen, one
• 1:09:25
  each for the three of you. Tony gets an extra jar for using it
• 1:09:27
  to make bread. I have had homemade bread using honey instead of sugar.
• 1:09:31
  It's excellent. He must bring at least one loaf to share with everyone.
• 1:09:35
  One to your producer. One to Neil Brown, hoping his ten years as
• 1:09:40
  long as don neelon. One to Zach Frasier he will never need a place
• 1:09:46
  to hunt during a bye week in the Pros. Give me a call or
• 1:09:48
  drop me a note. So he's offering his land for Zak to go down
• 1:09:53
  there and hunt. One to Josh Eiler for a difficult task ahead. One
• 1:09:57
  to Jordan McCabe. One to Chestnut Brewwork to infuse in their next creation.
• 1:10:01
  One did Charles Wesley Godwin for his journey. One to anyone you deem.
• 1:10:05
  Let me know if you need more, just a small token of thanks.
• 1:10:09
  Mister Anthony v D. They're in White Post Virginia. You know where that
• 1:10:13
  is. That's not far from Berryville, That's not far from me. Oh
• 1:10:16
  really, so it's relatively close to the West Virginia. He has close to
• 1:10:19
  the border. Well, that's outstanding. That's outstanding. Well, very good,
• 1:10:23
  very good. All right, So new schedule coming into play. We're
• 1:10:29
  done with our Sunday shows for those of you that have been spending done with
• 1:10:32
  regularly scheduled Sunday show. Excuse me, done with regularly scheduled Sundays show.
• 1:10:38
  Does that mean, well, doesn't mean we won't have a Sunday show.
• 1:10:40
  We have to come in and do. But you know, if there's a
• 1:10:42
  Sunday that happen, so that's bad. We don't want to do those because
• 1:10:45
  bad thing. Didn't say we wanted to. I just said, regularly scheduled
• 1:10:46
  Sundays are done. There may be a Sunday. You said we're done with
• 1:10:49
  Sunday shows, and I'm saying, you can't promise that we're done with Sunday
• 1:10:53
  shows. I'll put it. We're done with regularly scheduled Sunday shows. We're
• 1:10:58
  not regularly scheduling Sunday shows. We may have to have one on an emergency
• 1:11:00
  basis. This is what he just said. He I don't know. I
• 1:11:05
  knew he heard it somewhere all right, three guys brought to us by show
• 1:11:14
  this Sunday, The Sunday Show, do you Yeah, Yeah, alright,
• 1:11:26
  I mean we had to because Neil moved everything to Monday. Neil's a guy
• 1:11:28
  that made the Sunday Show. Yeah, because he moved his press conference to
• 1:11:30
  Monday, Tuesday. That was the only reason. So we're going to record
• 1:11:35
  Monday. When we come back Monday, we'll have the Baylor game done,
• 1:11:39
  we'll Haveman basketball, and we'll have one of the most important weeks for Mountaineer
• 1:11:44
  football of the entire season is next week, player retention Week. It's a
