• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Uh Rich Rodriguez and the Mountaineers continuing practice. So we're
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: a week in at this point pretty much, and full
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: contact went for the very first time yesterday, which was Tuesday,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: but they didn't do a ton of full contact. They
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: did maybe about twenty minutes a lot of heavy thud
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and uh tag, so you're tagging your thud.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Quarterbacks weren't hit yet, not yet, big story in camp.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Not yet. Yeah, they will be. They will be. That's
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: coming up. So they'll hit again tomorrow. They went shorts today,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: they'll hit again tomorrow, and then Saturday they'll have a
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: scrimmage which will be of significance. And by that I
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: mean like that'll be one where the people you're gonna
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: you're gonna start to see some stats, probably like oh
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: did someone's Yeah, he might have had seven carries for
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: a ninety nine yards. You'll start to see some numbers,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and the quarterbacks will get hit. The officials have been
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: pretty much at every practice so far, watching and guiding
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: and things like that. So it's on and here we go.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Rich has been addressing the media pretty much every day,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and I think that's a topic that needs to be discussed.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I really do what does that mean?
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Well, person he's coming out every day.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: No, personally, like when you go into the team room
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and Rich does his press conference, there are very few
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: people that were here the last time he was here.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: A handful, right Hunter all right, Bob Hertzel, and they've
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: been around, they've seen it. There's a bunch of new
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: guys that just weren't here then, and I think they're
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: having translation problems.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: What do you what do you mean? What do you mean?
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Well, they're taking like what he's saying like for like
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: for real, literally, yeah you can't.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because he's had some doozies.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to understand, like there's a whole there's
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: two like there's languages you know, you need to interpret.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: You need to do it. And I'm not busting on them.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: They just hadn't been around the first. They need to
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: go through it the first. You need to get an
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: experience on it. It's kind of like one of those
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you know, chat bots, you know what I mean. You
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: have to learn you have to learn the that the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: engine has to learn how to understand Rich before you
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: really know what he's saying.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: So you're you're talking about the r T I the
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Rich translation index.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Yes, has that replaced the B M I?
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, this is the r T I its translation index.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like w T h M. What does he mean?
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Because everything he says is intended for a purpose.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Example, give an example or examples or paraphrase.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: It was absolutely on script after he went After he
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: went Neutral Switzerland day one, he went Neutral Switzerland day
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: with a Hey, coach, how was that pretty good? You
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: know you're getting aft. That's good to be back, Like
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: you could pencil in on your dance card tomorrow the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: next day, day two or day three, he is going
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: to come in and he is going to go He's
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: gonna be like completely opposite and question whether or not
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: they'll be able to put a team on the field
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: against Robert Morris. That one still hasn't come, The nuclear
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: one hasn't come coming. In the next seven days or so,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: he's gonna come back. It might be Saturday after the scrimmage.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: You're gonna wonder if like they're just gonna call the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Big twelve and go like, hey, look, we're going to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: wait a year, we're gonna get back into it. We're
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: gonna come back out in twenty six and everyone will
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: be going like, oh my gosh, did you hear Rich?
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, Rich doesn't think what they didn't have a shot.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: I did have I did have it on day three.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I didn't have a day two. Day two was a
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: tad early. I thought you'd get two. Then day three
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: was was my likely.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: We talked to Raquel, his daughter, right, she's got a
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: pretty good feel for this. She too was surprised he
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: went day two. She was thinking day three.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I mean that two and a half was in play,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: but the over was taking more of the right exactly.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: He switched it around. He faded the public went day two.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so so a lot, so a lot of what
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: you're seeing now is this whole hard edge thing, right,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Like Rich doesn't think, well, they're soft. They're soft. So
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a buddy who played with Rich, a buddy who played
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: with Rich recently sat down with Rich and Rich said,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: he goes, so, what do you think? And he said
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: as soft soft, And his former teammate told him, he said, Rich,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: that's all you ever say. Yeah, have you ever heard
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Rich like he plays hard edge? Have you ever heard
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Rich say we're a hard edged team, like we're actually
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: playing hard edge?
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: No, Well that's so, that's where I was going to
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: go with that. I think if you, if you, what
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: would you call it? The rich translation in the rich?
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: So I think it's been It's been clear to me
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: and you would expect this. And let me back up
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: a little bit. What's unusual about this for those of
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: us that were through this the first time is you've
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: got a new coach in a new way of running
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: the program. But it's the it's the guy you've seen before,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: but it's been a long time, so some of this
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: stuff you don't have to wade through the newness, like
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: what's he mean, what's he saying? What's happening here? It's
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: very very clear. The number one message is about culture, right,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: not just hard edge as the tagline, which has been
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: out there a bunch. You can tell that effort and
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: getting after it and hitting people in the mouth defensively,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: that's where this needs to get to. And he's not
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: going to relent on that. That's going to go all
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: the way. We'll hear that all year, trying to get
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: back to that point where you might lose a game,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: but you're gonna know you played West Virginia right right.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: That's that it has to be installed as the baseline
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: for a bunch of guys that just have not been around.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: That saved for a few of his Jacksonville State guys.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: So to me, that's the clear number one message that's
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: just gonna keep coming.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: And that and that's something that, as you alluded to,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: hasn't changed. No, I mean that's the first time was
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: playing with a hard edge, and we saw that. I
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: mean we bore witness to the fact that his teams
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: didn't always win, even though they had a lot of success,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: but played hard and played with an edge to the
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: point where a lot of his players sometimes weren't happy
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: with him because he was always on him. But so
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: that to me is just in line with what it
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: was the first time.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: You know where I think he is a little bit different,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: though it does seem he's more. He's taking more steps
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: to even though when he says you're soft or the
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: effort's not there, he does come back with, well, I
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: like my guy, I like my team. Like he wouldn't
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: have given you that twenty years ago. He would have
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: just left it alone with yourself done. He does try
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: and come back and lessen the blow a little bit
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: at least.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Published No, you're right, right, if you know, that's a
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: good no's that's a good point. Yeah, that's good.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: So you're saying his grade of sandpaper is not as
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: course as much court of course as it was.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Right, So what happened, what's happening right now, in my opinion,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: is this intangible which literally is pouring the foundation of
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the culture that he wants. So there's one guy who
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: knows what he thinks is more is physical enough and
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: hard enough, and it's him. So every single step on
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: that practice feel to him. Those eyes are constantly moving,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: and if he notices just one iota of something he
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: thinks isn't, he stops it right there and teaching moment.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: So everyone collectively, everyone collectively is now learning the new
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: definition of what the expectation level is of competitiveness when
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: they're on that field. And that's that's a. That's a
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: that's a it's an interesting process. It's an invaluable process
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: because this is the only time you can lay it
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: in because.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: You guys, hear that, That's what I was just saying.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: You guys know, like in three weeks when Robert Morris
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: is the game, like that's all over with At that point,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: you're you're focusing in on game prep, game prep. So
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: he've got these these are invaluable weeks. And I know
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: they guess they'll start to drag for the players and
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: they're gonna get banged up and they're gonna hurt. But like,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: right now is the one chance you have all year
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: to set your definition of what is the expected level
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: of physicality?
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then add to that, I totally agree with that.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Then add to it. It is your one right. So
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: any coach coming in in your one before you get
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: to anything, before you get to schematics, you better set
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: how you want the program to look, what you want
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: it to feel like. And he's doing he's doing that.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: That's and that's the number one thing that that he
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: keeps pounding it. I just don't think it relents. I
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: think you'll hear that all year.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: And I think reasonably you see and hear the questions
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: that are asked of him, which you guys will talk
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: about that he's reluctant to give specifics on. Is everybody's
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: searching for some sort of idea of what kind of
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: team you will have, who will be who will be
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: a standout, who will be a surprise Those kinds of things,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: and you're just as you all off alluded to it,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: you're not getting that, first of all, and second of all,
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: how do you They may know, but how does anybody
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: else know? I mean people ask all of us what's
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: the team going to be? And my answer is, how
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: could you possibly know? You could take a wild guess,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: but you can't. You can't know. It's not like a
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: few years ago where you could say, well, look the
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: offensive line, there's four starters back and they've played for
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: four years and the quarterback is back. You don't know
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: with all those transfers? Do you know that from last season?
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: And think that? I think that is true across most
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: of the college football landscape. Between last year and this year,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: twenty seven hundred FBS football scholarship players transferred.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Wait at a stounding know, so who?
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: I saw the preseason poll by coaches or AP or whatever,
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: and I laughed at it. I mean, it's just the
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: usual suspects, Brad, But how could you possibly know?
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: I do think that's I'll speak for myself here. I
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: do think that's one of the fun parts of this
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: West Virginia team this year now, and we could do
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: hours upon hours of content here of speculation hypotheticals on
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: what you're going to have, and you could go through
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: every position. That's part of I will quickly turn from okay,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: what's rich saying to all right, let's talk about the
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: players and the games and what comes and we'll have
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: some over unders coming here in a couple weeks. Talk
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: about something fun and putting some numbers together. How many
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: rushing touchdowns Nico Marcio.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Have this year? We're gonna go there.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, we're gonna do stuff like that, right, that's kind
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: of out coming out. We'll do a two part two
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: episodes of thee because we got a bunch of them. Okay,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: but that's one, Like, think about that for a second.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: He ran for two last year. He can run the ball,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: but he's not a runner. Does he start?
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Does he plays quarter back?
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: That plays? Does he is he third string?
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: What exactly is going on at the quarterback position? And
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: you could go right down the list and say some
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: of these things. I think it's fascinating. The offensive line.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: We could spend hours on the offensive line. All these
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: new guys have come in. Who's going to take control
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: of that offensive line? One returning start? This is very
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: similar to when Neil took over that program and you
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: just went, well, who do you have? And then you
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: saw where that thing grew up to be where you
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: ultimately had how many different NFL guys on that rusher?
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Probably all five starters are going to end up being
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: in NFL camps at some point. You're getting close to that.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: This is a total rebuild of that. Which one of
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: these guys, How many of these guys step forth and
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: turn into eventual pros, eventual all conference guys? Will any
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: of them do that? A ton of question marks here
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: and be fun.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: And what you don't get what we joked about for
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: the last couple of years. And that's why the was
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: it rich translation into the RTI replaces the BMI right
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: because Neil Brown, maybe sometimes it was detriment, would answer
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: the question. You know, Richie be can be and often
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: is very evasive. I mean you asked Bran about a
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: certain player, or he would come out and tell you
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: after practice Bran about certain players, and you just to
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: the point where we had the Brown mentioned index, and
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: a lot of it was you know, some of us
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: intended send the message, but a lot of us would
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: would play out accurately.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Like what did what did? Rich says he was asked
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: about the offensive line, in particular, what do you like
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: about the offensive on far? He said nothing and then
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: looked at nothing.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: That goes nothing. See to my point on that. So
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: for those that haven't covered um me before, like guys that
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: have covered before are like, okay, fine, all right, fine, right,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: but that's okay Rich. But like someone else that like
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: first time through, they're going like, oh my god, he
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: thinks the offense.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: It's terrible.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: It's terrible. No, it's just the Rich minute. I do
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: have some numbers. Okay, people are asking us and everyone rightfully. So,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: regardless of what year you are in a program at
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: this time of the year, everyone always asked this question.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: How many games you thinks are going win?
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: How many games? What do you think? What do you think?
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: How many games do you think you're gonna win? So I've
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: got historical data, oh his score, historical data here. But
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: to your point, this is a twenty year sample of
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: first year coaches in the Power for conferences.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: And I want to hear that, but I would just
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: say there's so many variables.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Correct, That's I was going to say. But but this
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: is completely different this time because in those previous years
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: you did not have teams that were putting seventy plus
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: new players on the field. However, if you have to
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: have one thing that you can look back on, what
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: is realistic? You want to know?
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Sure?
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: You want to know for real Yeah you're sure?
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would, I would. I would argue before you
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: do it, there's probably a better measure, but still would
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: be not very significantly accurate. But go ahead, we'll.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: See three guys brought to us by Comac's Business Systems.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: They are big.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: Advocates of water, especially this time of year.

• 16:34
  Speaker 1: at COMASWV dot com or give them a call three
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: O four seven four four seventy four forty three oh
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: four seven four four seventy four to forty. I'll see
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: those folks tomorrow. Really what I'm going down to Charleston
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: to do an inside the huddle and the fine Comacs
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: people are always there, so we'll talk about their water systems.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I might get a cold glass of clean water. They're good,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: all right, So what's history tell us?
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Here?
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Here we go the last twenty years in the four
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: from twenty four to twenty twenty four. Twenty twenty is
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: included the COVID year, but obviously it wasn't a full season.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: But first year head coaches in the ACC, Big Twelve,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Big Ten, and the SEC win on average. That's two
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirty seven coaches over the span of twenty
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: years in the four Power four conferences. Their average wins
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: are Go ahead, give it a guest.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Wait, repeat the question again, repeat the premise.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Take the four conferences. Yeah, and each of those conferences
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: have had first year coaches over the last twenty years. Okay,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: take their combined record in their first year and the
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: average the average wins.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Is what six? Five?
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: You're right, six on the nose, they go six and six.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: In the ACC, there have been fifty seven new coaches
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: over the last twenty years. Their average wins five eight five,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Big Twelve. The first year coach in the Big twelve.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: There's been fifty eight new coaches in the Big twelve
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: over the last twenty years, and they're winning percentage and
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: their win total is five point five nights, so five
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: and a half wins. Where's West Virginia.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Picked dead on five and a half win total? If
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: you look at the books right now.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: That's what the books are saying. The Big ten first
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: year coaches averaged six wins. SEC first year coaches average
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: six wins. So basically the last twenty years, first year
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: coaches go six and six.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Okay, let's meld that in with riches first years.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, would you like to do that?
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: I have it? Do you have it?
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, sir?
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: All right? Salem two and eight first year, Glenville one
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: seven and one, West Virginia three and eight, Michigan three
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: and nine. But it gets better, Arizona first year eight
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: and five, Jacksonville State nine and four. I don't know,
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: does that mean anything?
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I think what you said that. So many
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: things have changed, so those are just oring historically. You
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: kind of see why the books land where they land
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: in some of this stuff. But I think what has
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: changed historically is again, and I've said this many times,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: it's used in such a negative connotation, but West Virginia
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: has seen it in basketball and now in football, we'll
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: see where the winds land. The transfer portal can help
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: you rebuild much more quickly than you ever could before. True, right,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: you saw that with BASKETBA last year. Should have been
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: a NA tournament team exace if he get screwed. So football,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: rich has the advantage that he didn't have in some
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: of those early years of remaking this roster. Now, does
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: that create some challenges, There's no question it does, But
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: it also allows you to put guys in place and
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: just go to the quarterback position. If you look at
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: the quarterback position this year, I think we would all
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: agree the players in that room, any of them, are
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: more suited to run a rich Rod offense than they
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: were the first time he took over here, especially once
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Rashid got her right. So I think there are some
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: advantages you have now when you're trying to restart the program.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Does that mean you can go win eleven? That'll be
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: a challenge, But can you get the thing up and
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: running more quickly? I think that's the expectation.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: That's an excellent point, and as such, what has evaporated
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: in programs and in the minds of fans who are
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: still dialed in is there's not the rope is a
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: lot shorter. It's like, well, I need three or four
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: years to get it going. That's not now. It's like, okay,
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: first year, maybe second year, you better be better, right
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: A lot more.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Numbers, yeah, absolutely, yeah, more numbers. So since he got
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: back into coaching in nineteen this includes his stint as
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator at Ole Miss, as the offensive coordinator
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: at Uel Monroe, and then as the head coach at
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville State, his teams have gone two and one in
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: August seven and four in September ten and one in
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: October six and three November, two in one December offensively. Offensively,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: here's what he's done. In the month of August, He's
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: averaged twenty four points. In September twenty nine, In October
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: thirty four.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: See that, So they've started to figure it out. You're
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: allowed to get better.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: November he averaged twenty nine, and then in December total
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: three games, he averaged thirty eight. So yeah, they're going
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: to do this. So your question is where where's your
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: starting point? Right, That's where it is. Where's just because
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: you're gonna historically he's going to do this, So where's
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: your start base is going to be the question.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Well, not to get ahead of ourselves, but you're about
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: to We've never done that. September looms large.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: What does that mean?
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: It means it looms large. It means that you got
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: a trap game at ou and and you got to play.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Pitt kerchiv will break you news.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pit, Well, I'm just saying that that is I mean,
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: I think the how.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: M talking about if you want to start talking about
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: wind totals, those matter. You start out three and oh,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: you're feeling pretty good about the over five and a
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: half that pit game that you're right, that pit game's
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: a massive as overlook Ohio you but you should go
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: in and win that game. Then you come to this
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: pit game, so you're already you're an underdog, already at
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: home on that year two and a half point dog
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: as we sit here today. Maybe that switches as you
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: get to the point, but that one's a massive swing game.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: How's that look? And I think also that you have
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: not to get ahead of myself. You have an opportunity.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: Last year, the national narrative when you were in the
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: discussion was the Penn State game. Could you pull an upset? No,
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: you didn't. Was is Neil Brown going to get fired that?
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: If there is a national narra If there was a
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: national narrative last year for West Virginia, that was it.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: This year there's a story. Rich Rodriguez is a story.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: The return to West Virginia is a story. And it's
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: an interesting story, especially with the pit game coming up.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: So you have a chance. You haven't all you ask
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: for isn't If you're not going to be a top
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: twenty team or whatever, is an opportunity. You have an
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: opportunity to be in the national discussion. You know, Scott
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: Frost is a story, right otherwise nobody cares about you. See, Yeah,
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: so you have an opportunity here and especially early early
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: if you go out to and oh and you beat Pitt,
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: you know, hey, there's an angle there.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: It is a fascinating story. Just the just the return
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: of somebody at this level is unusual. That's one somebody
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: that that the point at which this program was when
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: Rich left and the people now nationally that cover this
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: are going to remember that era as fondly as we do, right,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: And the video game that a lot of those folks
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: played with Pat White and Steve Slaton and how dominant
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: it was that played into the legacy and the reputation
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: in West Virginia. So I think you're right. You come
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: out of the gate and start this thing at three,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: and oh, I think there's some national push behind you
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: right out of the gate. I don't think there's a.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Question about that.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: I was. I was texting yesterday before yesterday with Dennis Dodd, who's.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Now big time name dropped. There wasn't bred. It was
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: you see how he did that.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: It's a big time But I mean it's two retired
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: guys sitting around having coffee every morning. They're just talking.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: So you and Dodd were texting, huh yeah, oh guys,
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: we're texting. You know, Hey, what time you go into shownies?
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Hey, Dennish, you remember Darrel Royal on that wish. It
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: was a tremendous offensive attack.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: It was actually about something else. I congratulate him on retirement,
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: and you know, but he said, how's rich Ro going
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: to do?
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Because again he is one of those guys, right, he
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: was one of the very few big time national guys
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: that was fully invested in West Virginia, even though he
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: has no ties to West Virginia, because of how good
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: West Virginia was at that time and how exciting it
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: was and how fun of it. That's the thing. It
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: wasn't just like West Virginia was really good, which they were.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: It was just exciting, right. There was a real national
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: attraction to those teams, especially that seventeen Here's what.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: I think is in the future for West Virginia football.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: As you said, you play these first two games and
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: you take care of your business. I think that Week
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: three as the potential to be so much more than
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: one football game or one chapter of the backyard Brawl.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: It is a priceless moment being offered to you to
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: jump fifteen steps in the national football conversation because I
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: think what's going to happen is I think game days coming,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: and I think they're going to paint that story all
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: week long as to why they are here. And you're
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: gonna see the thirteen nine game, and you're gonna see
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Rich's love, and you're gonna see Patt and Steven they're
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: gonna be running all around, You're going to see all that,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: and the place is going to be perhaps one of
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: the top five all time vibe crowds right in this
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: stadium's history. It's going to be pulsating. If you get
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: it done, what it allows you to do is to
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: take ten or fifteen jump steps in the national conscience,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: because right now we've lost it. We're not household talk anymore.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: But if they sell that story all week long about
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: West Virginia Pit, then West Virginia beats pit, then what's
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: the narrative. The narrative is, well, here comes Rich again,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: and then you go from there.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, it would be insane of them to pass on that.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Insane when McAfee's one of your biggest voices and was
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: involved in that game, centrally involved in that game, to
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: not have him back when Pat White was centrally involved
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: in that game. That injury changed the face of that game,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: and he's back standing on that sideline as well. And oh,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: by the way, if you're into numerology, are you freaking
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: kidding me? That game's being played on nine to thirteen?
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? With all the things surrounding that
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: that that game when Pitt still holds up, they're one
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: tent over West Virginia's thirteen nine, And you're gonna play
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: that game on nine thirteen in Rich's first return. You'd
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: be insane if you're ESPN to pass on that.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Hey, it's got a chance to be inside that stadium.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: It's got a chance to be one of the old time,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: old timers when it comes just to electricity and the
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: volume to it all.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and story story if you're.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: In the storytelling business of college football and its history.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: That was in an historic season that oh seven, remember
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: how that thing ended? Like the upsets all over the place,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Never mind West Virginia, but the upsets that happened before that,
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: you could get in there and do some unbelievable work.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: If you're ESPN, that's a major miss if they don't
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: take advantage of the.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: Game that led to West Virginia being denied an opportunity
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: to play for the national championship and led to the
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: ugly departure of Rich Rodriguez. But now a reckoning, a
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Reconciliationhow he's back and they're playing their old rival. I mean,
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: it rights itself.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: And then you cut to Pat Yeah, right, one of
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: your central figures on the desk. You cut to him,
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: who was a central figure in that game. I mean,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: that's a no brainer. Out White on the sideline, That's
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying. Noel Devine in the building.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you were worth your salt me, you know
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: you would break the story. The game day is coming
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: before Thamil does, and Famil's on the show. I mean,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: if you really want the one moment that you can
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: get Pete, you just go to just go out there
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: sources that.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: You need to break it, just say what the hell
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: are they doing? If they're not here, what are you doing?
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: What a missed opportunity.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: I know that mcafe's pushing for it, maybe like the
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: pinch the game, do his show from here the day
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: before and that'll gin everything up. And the I also
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: have well I shouldn't say this, go.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Ahead to say it.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: That that's no I'm gonna wait.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: What does that mean?
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: It means I'm not going to Tony Kreedy the thing Vergan?
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, you know something, it's just a it's it's.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: A tiny, tiny nugget. It's not a it's not a
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: big deal. Let's just wait. I shouldn't have said a
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: big deal to who stop?
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Still let him bait you into it, And I'm not
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: just save it till you're ready, I mean by the
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: way I started it.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: But we do have a few weeks before the pit came.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: So I tell you what started.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: You did jump in, I did my my bed.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: You know, they're staying up in Columbus the night before
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: the Ohio you game. Okay, so that's far away, I
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: mean closer. It's an hour and a half, probably hardly
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: at a hotel, it is. Can we say that? Is
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: that gonna be trap?
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: It's a absolute trap. Talked to my buddy at Iowa State,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: John Walters. They're play by play guy. I want to
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: get a little bit of an early laydown on the
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: broadcast booth there because they were there Got Beat. Oh yeah,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: and he said yeah, he said, just just be careful,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: just be careful when you go there.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Did you know what you you know, we.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Forget about that game when I ahowys stay got beat.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Rocco was sick.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Everyone was sick, he said. He said, they were just
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: like flu ridden, just really bad, right.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: And everybody all all that week at the game. People
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: are gonna say we got the pig Pits coming in.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. I think coach Rod will do a good
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: job of framing the game up for go in handle Biz. Yeah,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: three guys before the game is brought to us by

  Speaker 1: West Virginia. Visit Jan Dill's Attorneys at Law. So this
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: running back position a lot thinner than you would hope
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: and that could be improved with some eligibility green lights. Yeah.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Ty Edwards is one of the guys right it has
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: the lawsuit pending right now, transfer from Northern Iowa.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Completely different body type than any of the other guys.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: When I look at him just standing wise, like, there's
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: not a whole lot of those bodybuilds at that running
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: back position. But we're going to court. Hoppy going to court.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: We're going to federal court. Judge John Bailey will take
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: that case that has been filed for the group of
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: four that are trying to get their eligibility. And that
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: is significant. And I don't know time process wise, how
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: quickly something like that can happen, but it's it's very
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: very important.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: It is, and all four of those guys would be
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: good additions. Jamoury Robinson, I think, is the head I'm
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: not breaking any new ground here, that's the headliner in
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: that group. That's a difference maker on defense, the former
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: American Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year ten and
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: a half sacks at a position that you've just got
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: to have, right West Virginia has got to have somebody
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: that can get after the passer. Now, that defensive line
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: has some guys we've heard of. It probably has the
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: most returners of any position group. But Robinson's a potential
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: difference maker. So you're watching that court case cases closely,
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: But that's the one, if you had to pick one,
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: that would be the one Hoppy you need, You need
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Jamoy Robinson this lineup.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: And I'm just shocked that there's any.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Any confusion and chaos about eligibilla.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: No like what you could play a guy at Texas
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: Tech four million dollars you can let I mean, what
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: court to get through? Yeah, it just seems odd. I mean,
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: I'm not and I'm not saying it's a better world.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying that.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: You know, you thought you were just at the point
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: where you could just say I'd like to play another
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: year in eutibility and it was your player opt in. Yeah, yeah,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: seven so far, that's okay, play another eighth you want
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: to eighth, go ahead.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: You know I wasn't here during the COVID year, but
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: I had COVID.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: What I've heard of COVID, I would like to take
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: a COVID year.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Friend of mine had it again West Virginia. And this
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: decision will be, you know, front and center at these
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: This will have ramifications throughout the college football landscape and
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: college sports landscape when it comes to eligibility. We have
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: been right the Johnny Appleseed of this world, from Sean
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Alston to Raykwon Battle. Those were magnificently massive cases. And
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: now you know the NC double A has been playing
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: hardball on these eligibilities. They have not been granting these eligibilities,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: which is why we're in court, is exactly why we're
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: in court, and so like what happens next, how does
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: that all play through? Very important.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: This will be interesting to watch though, because it's it's
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: four going in together, but not all four are the
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: same case, so there is some nuance between these and
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: some of the others. That's that's what'll be interesting to
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: see what comes out of this.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the speed that they practice in is pretty wild.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: You kind of forget that. And Rich told us when
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: he was here that he goes faster now than he
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: used to.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: Well, but.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: It's it's pretty impressive fast, and that I think is
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: also a very big teaching point right now. Nico Markiel
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: talked about that this week when he had a media session,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: and that is the biggest thing is just the the
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: overall speed, Like a play never ends like football, as
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: we all as we grew up watching football back in
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: huddle days, right, it was like play, everyone comes back, huddle,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: break out, set formation, snap play and it's just this,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: it's the rhythms kind of like m hm. And now
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: this is just the second a player touches the ground,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: that ball gets flipped to the official sprints to the
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: middle of the field, set the ball or to hash
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: and you play another one and so again. I think
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: that that is a to me super interesting to watch
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: that being built again and knowing Rich and having seen
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Rich do this through the years, I kind of enjoy
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: just watching him, you know, trying to dial this thing
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: in there, to make this thing go as fast as
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: he wants.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: It to be wild that that's where he landed in
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: the evolution because he was on the front edge of
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: let's go fast, right right to the spot the ball
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: the first time, and then as other schools and programs
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: adopted this, he didn't get out of the speed business.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: He just said, oh is that right, Sara, Right, here's
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: what we're gonna do it. We're gonna step on the
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: gas and go even faster. That's what's kind of fascinating
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: to me is that that's the route he chose with this,
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: is to pick it up and go faster. And listen, guys,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: we've said it over time for a really long time.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: In West Virgin's most successful years is different. It does
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: something different than others are doing, and that's his His
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: difference is still the speed and tempo and when he
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: talked about it the other day. It was very reminiscent
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: of Press Virginia, where it's not so much in the
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: first quarter or the first drive, but that he hopes
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: there is a cumulative effect over time and by the
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: end of the game, then it's that it's taken root. Now,
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: I will say this, just prepare yourself now. And I'm
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: not talking to everybody and us. The fake injuries are
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: gonna be a thing. We're gonna come in here on
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: the recount, lose our mind on the fake injury. Is
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: that right? Yeah? Okay, okay, maybe you're right. Maybe we
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: won't ever come in here and talk about fake injuries.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: You're right, that will never happen. I don't think we
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: said that. I put it down there will that will
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: be a big topic of discuss injuries. Let me say
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: it enforced.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: I think they'll enforce it.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, let me say it.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: I think if you get if.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: It'll be gett like targeting, you know you're out.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: You're out for the rest of the series this year. Really,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: if you go down, you're at for the rest series.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: And then some people have said we're just going to
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: get a fifth string guy, have him go out on
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: the first down play and then just go lay down.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Let me let me say it. You're saying it's not
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: gonna We're the first time it happens when you keep
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: a guy out for the series. And then he was
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: actually hurt and that school goes bananas, goes to federal
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: court and gets that role overturn, and then we're back
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: to we're screaming about So okay, you know a couple
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: of scream about it market down.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: By the way mark our boy Tony Tarantini. Yeah, right,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: m he's been. He's been in sports line. He hasn't
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: been on three guys as he has not been three yuys.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: So Tony Tarantini. Tony Tarantini is a Morgantown resident native
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: and is an acc official, so he'll work West Virginia's
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: scrimmages and doesn't do any West Virginia games. But I
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: saw him the other day. He was working the practice
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: and uh, he said to me unsolicited, he said, he said, no,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: he's just let me. No one practices like this, so
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: you know me, I gotta bat him. I go, what
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: do you mean he goes? No one goes this fast
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: with the organization that these guys have because he just
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: was up at pitt and he was going to Notre
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Dame for five straight days. Just his whole crew is
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: his end season crew. They're just going to go there
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: for five days and do that. But that's what he said,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: he said, no one goes as fast.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: Well, it's going to be fastening to watch, it's going
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: to be fun to watch, and at times it's going
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: to be frustrating, right, sure it is, you know, but Brett,
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: I think he made a great point in that is
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: you can't do everything well, but what but can you
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: find an advantage? Right? Can you find something that you
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: can do better than others and that is your advantage?
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: And I think that's a that's a lot of this
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: personnel thing that they're trying to find out right now.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Because you don't know what your offensive line skill set is.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Do they turn out to be better run blockers or
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: pass blockers? Because that may determine which quarterback gets more snaps, right,
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: depending on which one's a better runner versus better thrower.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: How do the receivers look? Does Jaden brace step forth
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: and be the guy that a lot of people thought
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: he was going to be last year at this time
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: before he got hurt if he is, and then he
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: and cam Vaughn become really good. Now you're just plugging
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: in a Rodney Gallagher and Bowie and man Man Singleton
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: is okay, Now you might have a really good receiving corps.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: Maybe that tweaks a little bit what Rich wants to do.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: I do think that's part of Rich's magic is the
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: ability to tweak his base offense based on what the
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: skill is from guys. We've seen this look a lot
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: of different ways offensively, and I think those are some
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: of the questions you're starting to answer. But it starts
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: with that line, what do you do well the other?
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: Exactly? The other thing is that And this may be
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: shocking news. The quarterback is pretty important, as you know.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: I think it's even more important in this offense because
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: he has to make really really rapid decisions and he
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: has to run a ble. He has to run the ble.
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: So there's that. You know. Also that you have common
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: though that this is an offense that Rich is very
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: familiar with, and he's a guy that can call plays
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: very rapidly. I mean, it's not going to freak him out.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: They have to call plays rapidly, right because he's done
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: it for years, so that's an advantage too.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: I'm also we don't know what the word is. It's
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: not intrigue. But the quarterback situation right now is to
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: me very unusual.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: How so.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Because there's literally four and five guys that are in there,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: and like legitimately, legitimately, there's no massive difference between them. Now,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, like Nico's more experience and things
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: like that, but there's no one out there that looks
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: like a young you know, a young guy that's just
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: trying to find his footwork and like it's a it's
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: a labor to try. He just and then you just
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: look at that guy and you go like, well, he's
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: not gonna be ready yet. It's gonna take him two
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: years before he gets comfortable he's got a game. There's
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: none of those guys, and that to me is rich.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Rich's seeming contentment with his quarterback room surprises me really
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: because that is, as you know, the nucleus of everything,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: and they can they collectively feel that in that room
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: they'll be able to get done what they need to
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: get done at the quarterback position, which is which surprises me.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: And another thing that I like and we talked about
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: this earlier, you know, rich bemoaning that this guy's soft,
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: or that you also normally at this time off to
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: the side. In private conversations. We'll get some guys that
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: will go like, dude, have you seen our fill in
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: the blank position? We got no fricking guy. I'm gonna
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: have to take this guy to move him from here
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: to like I'm not getting that, So what does that mean?
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: I think it's a positive. I think they did a
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: very nice job in the portal post spring to fill in,
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: and now they do have competitions going where it's just
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: not clearly this guy is our only guy, and God forbid,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: if he gets hurt, we're screwed. I think they feel,
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: and although they won't say it, that that they did
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: a really good job of beefing the thing up as
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: well as they possibly could in an off season and
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: now get after it. I think that they think that
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: this first year can be a very positive year. Now
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: what does that equal? I don't know, but they're not
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: We've been in situations before where, you know, before the
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: season started, they just go like, this ain't happening. We
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: got no shot here. This guy couldn't guard anything.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: That's why that quarterback position I think is so fascinating.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: And it's from what I just said. There's going to
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: be some guys that throw it better, there's gonna be
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: others that run it. And that's why I think when
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: he says I've got multiple guys I can win with,
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: that's why I won't shock me if multiple guys are
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: playing right based on what comes forth as the skill
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: set that is that is really good and valuable.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why these scrimmages are so important. It's it's
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: as much making positive plays. Like they tell me, we
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: need to find the guy that doesn't just run it
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: for seven yards. If everyone else is running it for seven,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: we know that we need a guy that runs it
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: for eleven and we the only way we can find
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: that out is if we go live. But that guy
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: needs to identify. That's a part of it. But the
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: other part of it is as you know, which guy
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: makes the fewest mistakes because if they can't, if they
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: can't trust you, if you're throwing it to the wrong guy,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: then you're taking yourself out of the equation.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: Well, that's that's a whole Just put that tag on
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: this whole team because there's two parts to that. West
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: Virginia was about as bad last year as you could
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: be in turnover March and one to twelfth in the
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: country at minus eight. We know statistically that normally that
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: bounces back that turnovers. There's a lot of luck involved
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: in turnovers, so oftentimes when you're really near the bottom,
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: you pop back the other way and vice versa. We
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: saw that from West Virginia, who was very good in
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: that category the year at one nine games, took a
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: step back last year and really struggled. That wasn't just
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: the giveaways, but West Virginia was abysmal at takeaways last year, right,
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: No Beanie Bishop that was cleaning up on interceptions. You
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: went back to very few of those takeaways. So that's
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: the other part of this. And I know with Rich
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: we spend most of our time offensively, as we have
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: in this podcast. But this aggressive defense that's coming, how
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: much how many turnovers can it force? So not only
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: do you want to limit them on the offensive end,
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: but you have got to get back to taking them
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: away defensively. So I'm excited to watch Zach Alley in
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: that aggressiveness and see what that does.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, gonna be fun. Three guys before the game is
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: brought to us by the fine folks at lou Wendell
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: Marine Sales. Did you see any boats when you were
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: on your bike ride, dear Hoppy.
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah, yeah, I mean when I got to the Mississippi.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: A big boats, pontoons, a lot of stuff like that.
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: In fact, I think, doctor, where I where my wife
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: and I put our front tire into the river? I
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: think there was a lou Wendel.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Ah does not surprise me. Boat there does not surprise me.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Why lou Wendel's been in business for over forty years.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: They are the premiere pontoon boat dealer in our state
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: of West Virginia. They do pontoons. Obviously the Avalon pontoon
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: made one hundred percent right here in the United States
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: up in Michigan, or those G three John boats. Plus
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: I'm really a big accessory guy, you know, anchors, Bowie's,
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: rubber equipment, that kind of stuff. You know, like that stuff.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: Visit lou Wendell Marine Sales dot com or if you
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: want to just take a visit, they're down in Kanaw Valley,
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: Saint Albans. Forty plus years, you don't last as long
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: as they have without doing it well. Every single day
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: visit lou Wendel Marine Sales.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: Was out last Sunday on the little cheat lake there
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: you took it out. I'm not sure every boat was
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: from lou Wendel, but I think most were really nice
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: day at beautiful weather.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: The ones the most perfect weather, the that were staying
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: in the water and didn't sink, those are the ones
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: are lou Wendel's. The ones that go down non lou Wendell.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: Those booies are important, though. You don't want to skimp
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: on the buoys like you have. Somebody pulling up like
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: we did to tie up with you there right, could
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: be a potential chaos. Or you could just put those
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: booies on the side and get a nice little cush
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: in there to get tied up.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely absolutely, Okay. Defensively Zach ally installing his defense
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: and again what we know of it, and he was
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: in here here on the show this summer, very very attacking,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: very very aggressive and kind of interesting. Do you guys
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: know that you guys know this? During practice, coaches asked
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: the other side for certain looks. Hey, when we go
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: out here, I want you to show me this I
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: want you to show me that we need to do this,
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: We need to do that. You know that Rich doesn't
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: do that and zach ally doesn't do that.
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: They want to be surprised.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: They just like go like he just he just like
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: calls stuff. And it makes all the sense in the
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: world when you do think about it, because in a game,
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: what's the team going to do. I'm going to try
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: to make you right, blow up your play and make
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: you uncomfortable. So why not do it in practice? So
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: if you're seeing it every single day and not expecting, Okay,
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: where's it going to come from this time? Doesn't that
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: doesn't that help a little bit? Doesn't that make you better?
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: It's kind of interesting. But I've seen coaches like get
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: very very upset when coaches would not do that and
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: they're saying, hey, I need you know you show me this,
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: And instead they'll bring a guy over and like come
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: backside or something like that. Boom that was a problem,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: and they get all bummed out. But they're going they're
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: going hot here. It's fun. I mean, it's it's fun
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: to watch this. This whole thing. There By the way,
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: I impressed by Chase Wilson. The linebackerat interview.
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: Did you listen to him?
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: We did great? An you he was a he was
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: a while veteran dude. Yeah, right, you just step up.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: There's what it is. I'm a line up. I'm gonna play.
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: Appreciate being here. Yeah, that's very good.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: Like a pro. He like a pro. So that was encouraged.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: And then Nico, like Nico ever since we had him,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: since he was a baby.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: He was a high school senior and he was an
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: a lead interview.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: I think he was in sixth grade. What are you
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: in sixth grade?
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: Maybe third? He's been a lead in front of the
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: microphone since he got here and continues to be Oh,
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: he was great.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: Really, here's a good quote from Zach Alley. I've heard
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: for a long time. Pressure breaks pipes. Pressure breaks pipes.
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: You think it's gonna bring some heat. Yeah, it's a
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: high risk, high reward brand.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's gonna be fun to watch. I mean, I
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: think we're gonna have to be ready for some some
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: big plays against you, right, because you're not gonna you're
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: not gonna win everyone. But that I'm anxious to see
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: what that looks like. The different formations, the constant pressure
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: that's applied from all over the field, and then defensive
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: backs that are going to get right up on you
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: and pressure you didn't play you.
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but again risk reward. But we've been through that
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: with you know, Tony Gibson. Tony Gibson's fearless.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll heat him up, they'll heat him up. Who
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: was I talking to, Well, we were just talking this
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: morning Coach Buyser over at Morgantown High School. He's got
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: two of us boys, members of the Mountaineer. Cayden played
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of football at West Virginia, and we say, okay,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: how's the transition going with Zach. He says, loves him
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: really like he loves him. And he said his one son, Jackson,
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: loves Cass Steele. You know Cas Steel is in that
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: linebacker room right, oh, Jeff, And he says this like
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: man crush stuff. They just love the love what they're doing.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: So we're getting after.
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: Of course, it also helps if you have guys that
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: can do it. Yeah, a guy coming off the corner.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well we'll see about that. We'll see about that.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: Three guys before the game is brought to us by
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: Tudor's Biscuit World. The average guests the summer series guest
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: most said they could eat two Tutors biscuits. This is
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: getting to b biscuits season. I mean, those leaves are
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: gonna be changing pretty soon. And when people come in
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: for for football games or you're traveling around the state
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: and it's biscuit time, a lot of we're not necessarily
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: saying you have to eat too, but you might want
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: to try to. There's gonna be some new barbecue flavors
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: coming out in the not too distant future, and there's
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: some conversation, some conversation might be might be some special,
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: like a special maybe on the way to Mountain, your
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: football special. So if you're coming to the game, you
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: ask for the three guys special when you.
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: Came, oh, we're going to get a three guys.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: Biscuit, then say that you ask for the three guys special.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: I do think we are probably not showing the proper
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: respect to the size of those things by everybody just
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: saying oh, I can eat too, which I'm leading the
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: I'm leading the charge. Yes, you realize, So I understand
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: you don't think a lot of people those are big
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: who's they could eat three? Oh?
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: Eddie Vedie, which.
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, okay, yeah, I mean I'm not questioning Eddievie
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: said he could eat Sabans.
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, didn't even.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: Think about it. Saban said he could eat too.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: I say, there's too many people taking it taking it lightly.
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: I'd take the under I can't eat too.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't surprise me.
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: I mean you could and you could. You both could,
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: especially as bread often comes in food deprived make man
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: bad decisions and just like, oh, there's biscuits, I'll just
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: kill it.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, wherever you may be, and there's over seventy
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: right now, there's over seventy Tutors here in the state
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: of West Virginia and that one outlier in Florida. They're
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: also accepting franchise opportunities. If you'd like to be a
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: franchise e of Tutors Biscuit World, you can visit them.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: But whatever you do, stop by get yourself Tutor's biscuit

  Speaker 2: I think fans are gonna like this team. Yeah, here's
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: my overall take.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: I think so too. I think so too gonna be fun.
• 51:41

• 54:40
  Speaker 2: Grace was heading it up.
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't surprise me.
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: So if you stop a Whitehall time we said hello.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: Doesn't surprise me at all. Three guys before the game
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: time four. We haven't done this in a young young
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: young time, really young time, real young time song. The
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: music the music doesn't come. Why is it is it playing? Yeah,
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: it's playing textual? Why doesn't tech? Does this not work anymore?
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: Should work?
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: I don't. Yeah, it should. I mean, I mean I
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: got it on the I mean sometimes I've had that
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: issue and i've but I can't fix it now.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: Rough return of textual healing here.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: Well, hell, I'm not gonna sing it. I'll tell you
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: that much. That doesn't work.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, i'd you x out and go back in.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I try that.
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: It worked in pre production when we were going we were.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: When we facted the show, when we faxed it and
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: tried again. All right, I don't think it's gonna work. Okay, No,
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: it's not working. Okay, this is textual healing. Come on,
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: come on, give me some of that healing. I need
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: some of that textual healing. Three oh four, four oh
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: four forty eighty three. It's available to you. You can
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: go to our website episode eight hundred dot com Episode
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: eight hundred dot com and take a look at all
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: of our stuff. We got new product coming out, uh coffee,
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: the pop, porn, the beer. It's all going really really well.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: So we have not done textual healing literally in six
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: to eight weeks, and so this is just a very
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: small sample of what we received, but it hits upon
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: some key points. So this will go back to some episodes.
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: Dear Tony Bratt Hoppey. Mike Florio was, as usual wonderful
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: on the episode of Three Guys. However, I do have
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: an issue with his assertion that the use of the
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: F word is a sign of intelligence. If that was true,
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: one of my neighbors who uses it very, very often,
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: would be a card carrying member of MENSA, despite the
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: fact that he is dumber than a bucket of rocks.
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: All due respect, of course, to the neighbor.
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: Later in the show, Tony, you mentioned that, like Mike,
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: you have no plans to retire. Does that mean that
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: Three Guys will exceed its projected lifespan of eight hundred
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: episodes on behalf of your legions of loyal listeners. I
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: hope the answer is a resounding yes, signed by your

  Speaker 3: Uh.

  Speaker 1: Texter. Just got back from vacation and I listened to
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: the Ren Baker episode I am in with his wife Heather.
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: Here's my MGB and my MG midget. So there's that car. Remember,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: Ren talked a great deal about his wife's MG.
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: What he did was plain about it.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: He did it was I thought he was very disrespectful
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: for the vehicle. So that is there. And then you
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: have the other one there, Jake, I think there was two.
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: Look at that one. Oh boy, see that one right

• 58:17
  Speaker 1: forget to this day. He was driving straight down Pattison
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: Drive between the Coliseum and the football stadium, and he's massive, right,
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: and so his head and neck were way above that windshield,
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: and he looked like Fred Flin. Fredtee is exactly looked
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: like Fred Flintstone exactly. Joe's looked exactly like Flintstone.
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: In fact, when he stopped, he just picked up the car.

• 59:01
  Speaker 1: Of course, he says, Canon is an absolute beast and
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: will be very happy with his production. Allow me to
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: translate and rich Rod speak to extremely hard edge.

• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: He was Yeah, he's ready to get football season. Wow.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 3: For the record, the individual who did this schedule and
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: had you on, and by the way, I think it
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: was called Trading Station, not Trading post same thing, also
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: frequently hosted that show himself. So the person who did
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: the schedule, Brad, did not ask Tony to do something
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: he did not do himself. Period inclamation point.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: That's one thing about you that is one thousand percent trough.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: You'd never asked anyone to do anything that you didn't
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: do yourself. That's one hundred percent true. Okay, still a jerk,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: but I mean anybody Dave past forgiving beanery gift card.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: You were supposed to put down talent on your time.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: Uh, Texter. Steve Savans is the bomb. Fortunate to have
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: him as our coach. Smart guy, and Steve was good.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: He got a big recruit, huge instinct. Guy Dean from
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: Parsons now living in Fairmont. Can you all think of
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: other instances where a power force school had a new
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: head coach in their first season for both football and
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: men's basketball. I went through some WVU history. We've had
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: a few times where it was in a year or
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: so between each other, but not the same season. Yeah,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: that's that's hard to find. Hard to find and very interesting.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: In most cases when that happens, you would be concerned
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: and nervous. But I'm not. But I'm not. I feel
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: totally comfortable with the way it plays out. It could
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: have been massively bad, right, could have been massively bad?
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: Go on, Well, what I mean is, I think we're
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: all very comfortable with the two current head coaches. And
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: if you didn't have that level of comfort right now
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: going into a football in a basketball season, you'd be
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: going like, oh crap. But I think we all feel
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: like we're good, here we come. Everything's won't be fine,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: Let's go. Jason writes in from Palm City, Florida. I
