- 4:08Speaker 2: Empire State Building sized trailer that Rev keV has for
- 4:11Speaker 2: all that barbecue sitting right there.
- 4:12Speaker 1: Correct, huge, massive that's been placed. We'll talk about that
- 4:15Speaker 1: coming up. Also, the debut of our latest beer through

- 4:33Speaker 2: Just What you Guys Are. I've already I got an
- 4:34Speaker 2: early set preview.
- 4:35Speaker 1: Did oh you had some?
- 4:36Speaker 2: Already had some?
- 4:37Speaker 1: He went over to Jim's house, the guy over there from.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Parkersburg and Brewing Company.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Ye taste went back to his back ports are on
- 4:45Speaker 1: Saturday head about eleven of them.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Kind of kind of like, I respect you, to respect
- 4:49Speaker 2: both of you. So I was kind of like your
- 4:51Speaker 2: taster ahead of time.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Well, thank you, pre taste, just in case you all right,
- 4:56Speaker 1: so here we go.
- 4:56Speaker 3: Appreciate it.
- 4:57Speaker 2: You'll like, you'll like it.
- 4:57Speaker 3: By the way, you know what happens if you try
- 4:59Speaker 3: to few your vehicle while it's running.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Yeah, you shouldn't do that.
- 5:03Speaker 3: You know what. You see the warnings because there's vapors
- 5:07Speaker 3: and there's electricity and can cause fire and explosion. So
- 5:10Speaker 3: before the Gomart folks start researching that and follow Tony's suggestion,
- 5:16Speaker 3: know that there's a high risk there.
- 5:18Speaker 1: Let me just tell you something. They got a chief
- 5:20Speaker 1: engineer in charge of petroleum distribution. That's that gopher that
- 5:24Speaker 1: they use. That guy's in charge of that. That gopher
- 5:27Speaker 1: is in charge. He figured it out. An't worry about
- 5:29Speaker 1: no vapors.
- 5:29Speaker 3: And you see the burns on the sun.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Can't wait? Do you see this? Can here.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Gorgeous. Can is gorgeous? All right? Thursday, when we come back,
- 5:40Speaker 1: we're going to do the actual keys to the game.
- 5:43Speaker 1: This episode is that we are giving you speaking of Gophers,
- 5:47Speaker 1: we're going to give you nuggets. We got nuggets, Hoppy, Okay, nugget.
- 5:52Speaker 2: Hold on, hold on before you do the nuggets. I
- 5:54Speaker 2: think Hoppy has a take. He wants to go first.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Is it under the conly Cpa umbrella?
- 5:59Speaker 3: Oh? Okay, don't you.
- 6:00Speaker 2: Want to go first?
- 6:01Speaker 3: Sure, because mine pales in comparison.
- 6:03Speaker 2: To yours, well of it pales. But you're probably gonna
- 6:05Speaker 2: go a big picture. I'm gonna go down into.
- 6:06Speaker 3: Some Yeah you go, mic rogo macro. This is a
- 6:09Speaker 3: must win game for Penn State.
- 6:13Speaker 1: I see what he did there.
- 6:14Speaker 3: This is a must win game for Penn State. Why
- 6:18Speaker 3: because if you read what's been written all off season
- 6:22Speaker 3: about Penn State, if you watch any of the podcasts
- 6:26Speaker 3: about Penn State, of which there are seventy seven of
- 6:28Speaker 3: them that are out there, what are they saying about
- 6:32Speaker 3: about Penn State? Brad, what's James Franklin done over ten years?
- 6:36Speaker 3: He's won a lot of games, won a lot of games, right, Yeah,
- 6:38Speaker 3: what hasn't he done, struggled with Michigan and Ohio State. Right,
- 6:41Speaker 3: he hasn't won a World's championships, not won a World's championship,
- 6:44Speaker 3: has not gotten to the playoffs. They won New Year's
- 6:46Speaker 3: Day Bowl Game, going to New Year's Day Bowl games,
- 6:48Speaker 3: they win ten games. Yet there's still this grumbling that
- 6:51Speaker 3: exists because they have a poor record against against Ohio
- 6:56Speaker 3: State and against Michigan.
- 6:57Speaker 1: And Ohio State on the schedule this year.
- 7:00Speaker 3: What's it, No Michigan. They they have Ohio State, Michigan,
- 7:04Speaker 3: Michigans do so this year and their twenty twenty two
- 7:08Speaker 3: recruiting class was ranked like six in the countries. They've
- 7:10Speaker 3: got this recruiting class. It's reaching fruition. They have their
- 7:13Speaker 3: quarterback back Bright, they got those running backs, they got
- 7:15Speaker 3: those two defensive ends. They they believe they are loaded.
- 7:20Speaker 3: They are loaded. I think they are loaded. Yeah, okay, yeah,
- 7:24Speaker 3: they are loaded. So the expectation is they can hardly
- 7:28Speaker 3: contain themselves, not the players in the they can hardly
- 7:30Speaker 3: contain themselves from saying this is the year. This is
- 7:33Speaker 3: the year, especially with the expanded playoffs, to make the
- 7:36Speaker 3: playoffs and make a run in the playoffs. So what
- 7:40Speaker 3: can they not afford to do.
- 7:42Speaker 2: They can't probably shouldn't come in here and lose.
- 7:44Speaker 3: Right, they can't stub their toes. Now you can with
- 7:46Speaker 3: the twelve team. You can stub your toe and still
- 7:48Speaker 3: get in there. But but you still got to play
- 7:50Speaker 3: Ohio State, you still got to play USC on the road,
- 7:52Speaker 3: you still got to play Wisconsin. So it gets harder
- 7:55Speaker 3: if you have to do that. So I think for
- 7:57Speaker 3: they're not going to fire James Franklin, even though they
- 7:59Speaker 3: grumble and Happy Valley all the time, because he hasn't
- 8:01Speaker 3: won the big game, because his payout is fifty some
- 8:04Speaker 3: million dollars and he's got seven more years on his
- 8:06Speaker 3: contract and he's won a bunch of games. So they're
- 8:08Speaker 3: not going to do that. But there's still as grumbling
- 8:10Speaker 3: because there's a feeling that they still haven't reached Penn
- 8:12Speaker 3: State level. But this is the year they're supposed to
- 8:15Speaker 3: do that. So this is a gigantic game for them.
- 8:18Speaker 3: There is much more pressure on them in this game
- 8:21Speaker 3: than there is no West Virginia.
- 8:23Speaker 2: More Penn State pressure. I think that right well stated, Yeah,
- 8:27Speaker 2: I think you're right.
- 8:28Speaker 1: Kind of amazing when you do look at their schedule,
- 8:31Speaker 1: just look at the schedule, UCLA, USC Washington. I mean,
- 8:36Speaker 1: here it is, man, we talked about it. It's happening,
- 8:39Speaker 1: and it's happened.
- 8:40Speaker 3: But what's important to is, you know, is no Michigan,
- 8:44Speaker 3: no Oregon.
- 8:45Speaker 1: And they got the buckeye at home. They got it.
- 8:48Speaker 3: So they think like here is that it's laid out
- 8:50Speaker 3: for them. And when you read the again, the analysis
- 8:54Speaker 3: in the Penn State version of this, it's brand. Just just
- 8:57Speaker 3: don't stump your toe at West Virginia. You know there's
- 8:58Speaker 3: West Can.
- 8:59Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think you're exactly on this.
- 9:03Speaker 1: I do thank you. I do think you're right on
- 9:04Speaker 1: top of it. Yeah, that's good. That's a good ta.
- 9:06Speaker 3: That's a macro.
- 9:07Speaker 1: That's good. That's good. He had a good one. Yeah. Okay,
- 9:10Speaker 1: I mean you you healthy? Hey, see you guys later.
- 9:12Speaker 1: Good sir.
- 9:14Speaker 3: That's that's the best. That's the best I'm going to
- 9:16Speaker 3: do all day.
- 9:17Speaker 1: Let's do this. Let's sign checks for numbers. We'll just
- 9:21Speaker 1: go right to the numbers, jump into the analytics. This
- 9:26Speaker 1: is kind of like we normally call this spreads on stats.
- 9:32Speaker 1: Actually we're gonna call this nuggets bits, Brad's bits, Brad's bits,
- 9:40Speaker 1: That's what I'm gonna do. Brought to us by the
- 9:42Speaker 1: Conleague CPA Group, providing value beyond numbers. Complete public service
- 9:45Speaker 1: accounting consulting serving clients throughout West Virginia and surrounding states.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Getting ready for their fortieth anniversary, which means they've stood
- 9:52Speaker 1: the test of time. They've amateurized themselves nicely. Outsourcing accounting.
- 9:58Speaker 1: They can do that for you. If you don't have
- 9:59Speaker 1: a book keeper in house, they can outsource your accounting.
- 10:01Speaker 1: You can also outsource your CFO services. Freeze up your
- 10:05Speaker 1: time so you can do your thing, run your business.
- 10:07Speaker 1: Instead of worrying about the numbers. Let Conley worry about
- 10:10Speaker 1: the numbers because why because they provide value beyond numbers. Okay,
- 10:17Speaker 1: Brad's bites.
- 10:18Speaker 3: I'm anxious for them. I'm looking forward to this.
- 10:20Speaker 2: Yeah, well, a couple different things here.
- 10:22Speaker 1: You and mid season formers as your opener too.
- 10:25Speaker 2: No, just open because what I always tell you about
- 10:27Speaker 2: these numbers, the numbers get better as we get later
- 10:30Speaker 2: into the season and we get some data. The numbers
- 10:32Speaker 2: I'm going to give you right now, If I'm being honest,
- 10:36Speaker 2: I don't know if they matter at all. It's it's
- 10:38Speaker 2: about last year's teams. I don't know if these matter
- 10:39Speaker 2: at all. They're fun something to think about, but this
- 10:43Speaker 2: isn't reflective of this year, sure, right, right, right, So
- 10:46Speaker 2: that's why I think this is This is, at the
- 10:49Speaker 2: same time one of the really tricky parts if you're
- 10:52Speaker 2: into prognostication or you wager that this is what's really hard, right,
- 10:57Speaker 2: Nobody knows. Neil and James Franklin don't know, if we're
- 11:00Speaker 2: being honest, But I think that's what also makes it fun. Yes, right,
- 11:03Speaker 2: all the potential hypotheticals, all the different things that go
- 11:06Speaker 2: into it. How much better is West Virginia? Is the
- 11:09Speaker 2: offensive line as good? Is Garrett Green that much better?
- 11:12Speaker 2: Are the receivers that much better? How about Penn State
- 11:14Speaker 2: guys they lost? Are there two defensive ends as good
- 11:17Speaker 2: as advertised? There's just so many questions that you go into,
- 11:21Speaker 2: So take these with a grain of salt, because again
- 11:24Speaker 2: it's last year's stuff, and we'll try and make some
- 11:26Speaker 2: sense of does it factor into this game?
- 11:28Speaker 1: So what you're saying is to underscore your point. Florida
- 11:32Speaker 1: State Georgia Tech last week was a perfect example of
- 11:36Speaker 1: you don't know.
- 11:37Speaker 2: And yeah, and it's interesting because you watched that pregame
- 11:42Speaker 2: and there were nineteen different reports, including a special breaking
- 11:46Speaker 2: news I don't know if they played the music or
- 11:48Speaker 2: just came breaking news for telling us that Florida State's
- 11:53Speaker 2: defensive line was the best in the country. Who reported that,
- 11:56Speaker 2: I don't know, one of the ESPN guys best defensive
- 11:58Speaker 2: line in the country, break into game day and talk
- 12:01Speaker 2: about that. Okay, I don't know. If you watch the
- 12:04Speaker 2: game and maybe they end up being the best defense
- 12:06Speaker 2: line of the country, they were not in Ireland, Georgia
- 12:09Speaker 2: Tech lined upset.
- 12:09Speaker 3: Is that right?
- 12:10Speaker 1: Oh?
- 12:10Speaker 3: Is that right?
- 12:11Speaker 2: And go I'll tell you what we're gonna do. We're
- 12:12Speaker 2: gonna run right at you. And I find and this
- 12:15Speaker 2: isn't a prediction that West Virginia's gonna have the same
- 12:18Speaker 2: success against Penn State that Georgia Tech did against Florida State, Right,
- 12:21Speaker 2: But I think if you're a West Virginia fan, you
- 12:23Speaker 2: look at that and go, oh, that's interesting, because this
- 12:25Speaker 2: is a really talented Penn State front. Not just those
- 12:28Speaker 2: two stud defensive ends that are gonna get off. They've
- 12:31Speaker 2: got multiple guys in the interior that create what I
- 12:34Speaker 2: think is the biggest matchup of the game West Virginia's
- 12:37Speaker 2: new air quotes offensive line against that great Penn State defense.
- 12:41Speaker 2: Does Penn State stalemate that? Or can West Virginia run
- 12:44Speaker 2: it when it wants to run it inside? There's where
- 12:46Speaker 2: the game is right there. And if you can't run
- 12:48Speaker 2: it inside, then you start to bounce out? Can you
- 12:50Speaker 2: do some of that? All right, We're gonna look at that.
- 12:52Speaker 2: But what Georgia Tech did to that Florida State defensive line,
- 12:56Speaker 2: they moved them, not just did a bunch of motion
- 12:59Speaker 2: and shit switch. What's Whatst. Virginia like to do with
- 13:02Speaker 2: this group? Some motion in shifts right. So it wasn't
- 13:05Speaker 2: an exact blueprint on how to attack that, but it
- 13:07Speaker 2: was a good example of a team that had a
- 13:09Speaker 2: veteran quarterback that likes to run the football, that had
- 13:11Speaker 2: a good offensive line that was maybe being underrated a
- 13:14Speaker 2: little bit going against what was thought of of a
- 13:16Speaker 2: tremendous defensive line and had success. Would those things be
- 13:19Speaker 2: nice to see how maybe maybe you got no chance.
- 13:22Speaker 2: Maybe Penn State's defense is the best defensive line in
- 13:25Speaker 2: the country, not Florida States, and you struggle. But that's
- 13:27Speaker 2: one of the fun things to watch. And I think
- 13:29Speaker 2: that showed itself Saturday for a team in Florida State
- 13:32Speaker 2: that had already penciled itself into the playoff now has
- 13:35Speaker 2: a lot of work to do.
- 13:37Speaker 3: Go ahead, So do you think and again you don't know,
- 13:41Speaker 3: but has the West Virginia offensive line, all due respect
- 13:45Speaker 3: to those guys, taken a step back?
- 13:47Speaker 2: How do you know you lost one of the best
- 13:52Speaker 2: offensive line men to ever play, right, that is hard
- 13:55Speaker 2: to be as good as you were. But as we
- 13:57Speaker 2: have said, and by the way, don't forget about Dugnester,
- 14:00Speaker 2: who also was in an NFL camp. But you're replacing
- 14:02Speaker 2: it with a bunch of experienced guys. Okay, that's part one.
- 14:06Speaker 2: How do they perform in this situation? Last year they
- 14:08Speaker 2: played extremely well. But Brandon Yeates is moving over to
- 14:11Speaker 2: a whole new position and we kind of just haven't
- 14:13Speaker 2: talked much about that, right, how's he do in a
- 14:16Speaker 2: new position with a lot more responsibility? Then the young
- 14:18Speaker 2: guys that you talk to the staff and they tell
- 14:21Speaker 2: you they think they might have a couple pros on
- 14:22Speaker 2: these young offensive linemen. Does that show itself now meaning
- 14:26Speaker 2: this season? Does it show itself now meaning Game one?
- 14:29Speaker 2: And if it does, and that allows you to break,
- 14:32Speaker 2: give some breaks to a Jacque Hubbard and a Nick
- 14:34Speaker 2: Malone or a Remac if he needs it, and you
- 14:36Speaker 2: can put those young guys in and have success. Okay,
- 14:39Speaker 2: that starts chancing. You don't bottom line is there. You
- 14:41Speaker 2: don't know the answer that question if they've come back
- 14:43Speaker 2: or not.
- 14:44Speaker 3: But boy, what if tests early Tony going against those
- 14:46Speaker 3: two defensive ends, those two ends for Penn State.
- 14:48Speaker 1: No question, And you just hope that being on your
- 14:52Speaker 1: home turf helps alleviate that sum. And by that I
- 14:56Speaker 1: mean yes, I do know that the game is always
- 14:58Speaker 1: about blocking and tackling, but that home crowd just gives
- 15:03Speaker 1: you a bounce and some energy. I wouldn't like to
- 15:05Speaker 1: go play this game at their place. I would never
- 15:07Speaker 1: like to go play at their place. We know what
- 15:09Speaker 1: that situation is. I think I had a wonderful crowd there.
- 15:12Speaker 1: You just hope that it can work for you this
- 15:14Speaker 1: week to take you and your guys that maybe question
- 15:18Speaker 1: a bull as far as being able to do this,
- 15:20Speaker 1: take them to that.
- 15:21Speaker 2: Next line well and then the other questions, and we've
- 15:23Speaker 2: talked about these. Garrett Green's a different quarterback than he
- 15:27Speaker 2: was in what I know he'd started games. But lash
- 15:29Speaker 2: was his first game, is the starter. He is not
- 15:31Speaker 2: the same guy Jeem White that kind of helped the
- 15:34Speaker 2: offense a little bit, didn't it with him a little bit?
- 15:36Speaker 2: Your receivers now you're going against some pros in their
- 15:39Speaker 2: defensive backfield. What's that look like now with guys that
- 15:43Speaker 2: have been through it for a year, Because think about that,
- 15:45Speaker 2: right Clement, Traylan Ray. We weren't talking about Hudson Clement
- 15:49Speaker 2: last year. Treylan Ray had been here, what he got,
- 15:52Speaker 2: came in from Florida about fifteen minutes for the first
- 15:54Speaker 2: game that was Ish.
- 15:55Speaker 1: Give or take the day before the FA.
- 15:57Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, Rodney Gallagher did Gallagher didn't play, didn't catch
- 16:01Speaker 2: past Yeah, very little. So you just had so many
- 16:03Speaker 2: young guys at the receiver position. You think that looks
- 16:06Speaker 2: a little bit different, but Hotwitch, you don't know. I'm
- 16:09Speaker 2: comfortable saying they've taken a step forward, but how much
- 16:12Speaker 2: of a step forward you don't know all that. It's
- 16:14Speaker 2: a lot of questions. I think that's what makes this
- 16:16Speaker 2: time of the year really fun. Yeah, Okay, that was
- 16:18Speaker 2: a big rambling open too. You want to get to
- 16:20Speaker 2: some couple factors that really these are things that we
- 16:23Speaker 2: haven't necessarily talked about, but we probably should. Backed up
- 16:27Speaker 2: with some numbers from last year. So let's dive in
- 16:31Speaker 2: field position huge factor and we don't talk about it
- 16:34Speaker 2: nearly enough. A lot of times in post game we
- 16:37Speaker 2: will and go back in and back into it with
- 16:39Speaker 2: that plus ten yards fielded field position advantage. If you
- 16:42Speaker 2: have that, you generally win ninety plus percent of the time.
- 16:45Speaker 2: A couple numbers that jumped to me. A lot of
- 16:48Speaker 2: people criticize this Penn State offense last year, but you
- 16:51Speaker 2: know what, you better not do hoppy with them. You
- 16:54Speaker 2: better not give them a short field too often or
- 16:56Speaker 2: they'll punish you, as a lot of teams will. But
- 16:58Speaker 2: Penn State was fifth and now nationally in points per
- 17:01Speaker 2: drive from short field position last year. That's sixty yards
- 17:05Speaker 2: from the end zone or less when they'd take over
- 17:08Speaker 2: the ball, so they were super efficient. If you didn't
- 17:10Speaker 2: pin them back, they they would score.
- 17:12Speaker 1: Points on it. They start from the forty from their
- 17:15Speaker 1: or in to score.
- 17:17Speaker 2: They were really good, fifth nationally for an offense that
- 17:20Speaker 2: was much maligned for being pretty good, and it was
- 17:23Speaker 2: good against Webston.
- 17:24Speaker 3: Building on that. So West Virginia needs to at least
- 17:26Speaker 3: it needs to get a couple first downs, sure right,
- 17:30Speaker 3: not start on their twenty five and get to the.
- 17:33Speaker 2: Straw, try and go and work and some pin them
- 17:35Speaker 2: and force them into some long drives here. Now here's
- 17:38Speaker 2: this this was surprising. West Virginia was not good with
- 17:42Speaker 2: short field position offensively, just one hundred and third nationally
- 17:45Speaker 2: in scoring drives scoring per drive on drives that started
- 17:49Speaker 2: less than sixty yards in the end zone.
- 17:50Speaker 1: So let's expand on that. What's the biggest thing that
- 17:53Speaker 1: Neil has been harping on this off seas touchdowns in
- 17:57Speaker 1: the red zone? Touchdowns in the red zone. I mean,
- 17:59Speaker 1: I think, Brad, if you dig a little bit, we
- 18:02Speaker 1: probably were one of the higher teams in the country
- 18:05Speaker 1: in getting field goals, which isn't necessarily what you want, yeah,
- 18:09Speaker 1: to get you need to get the you need to
- 18:10Speaker 1: get the seven instead of the threes. And so they
- 18:14Speaker 1: have worked tirelessly, as we've seen from the twenty and
- 18:18Speaker 1: in to score touchdown.
- 18:20Speaker 2: Your touchdown percentage inside the red zone last year for
- 18:23Speaker 2: West Vinia was in the eighties national I believe it,
- 18:26Speaker 2: right out of one hundred and thirty some teams. So
- 18:28Speaker 2: that makes some sense. So that's one of those keys.
- 18:31Speaker 2: I know these aren't just traditional. Here's your keys to victory,
- 18:33Speaker 2: but that's going to be one, right, Can you take
- 18:36Speaker 2: advantage and score when you get in the red zone
- 18:38Speaker 2: and score touchdowns? Because here's the other companion stat to
- 18:41Speaker 2: that on the other side of the ball, Penn States opponents.
- 18:48Speaker 2: Penn States opponents drives ended in a touchdown or field
- 18:51Speaker 2: goal attempt just twenty six percent of the time. That
- 18:54Speaker 2: was third nationally. Wow, So you didn't get many scoring opportunities.
- 18:59Speaker 2: When you get them, you better score touchdowns exactly. If
- 19:02Speaker 2: you're going down there kicking field goals again, now that's
- 19:04Speaker 2: counting your stats.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Read that again, that's counting field goals.
- 19:07Speaker 2: What you just said field goal attempts? Yeah, not necessarily
- 19:10Speaker 2: in points. Yeah, twenty six percent of Penn State's opponents
- 19:13Speaker 2: drives ended in a touchdown or field goal attempt. That
- 19:17Speaker 2: was the third best national.
- 19:18Speaker 1: So that means three out of four times you come
- 19:20Speaker 1: up empty on your drive. So watch that stat. Watch
- 19:23Speaker 1: that stats Saturday. When you take a look at the
- 19:26Speaker 1: end stats, what do you have eight to ten to
- 19:29Speaker 1: eleven possessions in a game? Look at that after the
- 19:32Speaker 1: game's over and go did they score on more than
- 19:34Speaker 1: twenty five percent of their possessions. That'll be a case.
- 19:36Speaker 2: So you said something key there, eight, nine, ten, How
- 19:38Speaker 2: many possessions do you get? Florida State, Georgia dech each
- 19:41Speaker 2: had seven possessions. So you talk about having to be
- 19:43Speaker 2: ultra efficient if you're going to be down. So something
- 19:45Speaker 2: to watch, all right, let's keep going kind of along
- 19:47Speaker 2: that same theme. West Virginia's offense was top ten nationally
- 19:53Speaker 2: in scoring per drive on long drives when you start
- 19:57Speaker 2: inside your own twenty. Now, little miss eating number because
- 20:00Speaker 2: Westraetinia didn't do that often. It was one of the
- 20:02Speaker 2: better teams in the country with fewest drives started inside
- 20:05Speaker 2: it's twenty. So just take that for what it's worth.
- 20:07Speaker 2: Here's one to pay attention to. West Virginia was twenty
- 20:10Speaker 2: third nationally in scoring per drive on medium drives, drives
- 20:14Speaker 2: that begin from your own twenty to your own forty. Especially,
- 20:17Speaker 2: it was top twenty five offense when it did that.
- 20:20Speaker 2: Something to keep in mind.
- 20:22Speaker 1: Yeah. Also, and I'm sure you don't have this one
- 20:25Speaker 1: in front of you, uncanny success in two minute drive scenarios.
- 20:30Speaker 2: Man, they were good, really good halfs or end a game.
- 20:33Speaker 1: Yeah, they have two minute scenario and now we'll we'll
- 20:35Speaker 1: literally have a two minute clock starting this starting this weekend.
- 20:40Speaker 1: But yeah, very very successful. Garrett's have been really really
- 20:43Speaker 1: good at running those. Yeah.
- 20:45Speaker 2: Okay, here's one other offensive category, and I guess it
- 20:48Speaker 2: counts defense too. Let's look at this the ability to
- 20:52Speaker 2: make and or stop big plays. So as we headed
- 20:56Speaker 2: into last year, it's interesting to watch how this game
- 20:59Speaker 2: is set up. Heading into last season, that was a
- 21:01Speaker 2: big Neil Brown talking point said the offense had to
- 21:04Speaker 2: get more explosive, find a way to get big plays,
- 21:07Speaker 2: get some air. Quote easy touchdowns where you rip off
- 21:10Speaker 2: a forty five yard run and you score on two
- 21:12Speaker 2: plays in the drive. Penn State's doing that this year,
- 21:15Speaker 2: aren't they. Isn't that the criticism of the Penn States
- 21:18Speaker 2: are sufficient as they were at times? That was the criticism, right.
- 21:21Speaker 2: You start to look at Drew Aler's attempt per throw,
- 21:24Speaker 2: it was down there. You start to look at their
- 21:25Speaker 2: ability to hit you for big plays, didn't have many.
- 21:28Speaker 2: Let's go through some numbers. West Virginia last season was
- 21:31Speaker 2: seventeenth nationally in offensive drives that average seven yards per
- 21:37Speaker 2: play or better, say it again, seventeenth nationally. So a
- 21:41Speaker 2: top twenty offense on drives where the drive averaged seven
- 21:45Speaker 2: yards per play or more.
- 21:47Speaker 1: What was Penn State?
- 21:48Speaker 2: You know, hold on, I'm getting there. Okay, don't rush me, Kirchiave,
- 21:50Speaker 2: I'll just.
- 21:50Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got to take off, he's got to drive.
- 21:54Speaker 3: I'm fine.
- 21:54Speaker 2: So that showed the big playability. And we talked about
- 21:56Speaker 2: that a lot, right, and that makes sense with White
- 21:59Speaker 2: and Clement it's big play and Traylon Ray over the
- 22:01Speaker 2: top and Garrett Green taken off, So that makes some sense.
- 22:03Speaker 2: You were very good, big playing teams. Fifty fifth in
- 22:07Speaker 2: offensive drives of ten yards per play or more so,
- 22:11Speaker 2: not bad, still in the upper half of college football.
- 22:15Speaker 2: Penn State, conversely, is that what you asked the our hobby,
- 22:18Speaker 2: Penn State, thank you. I just happened to have that.
- 22:20Speaker 2: Last year. Penn State was just sixty third nationally in
- 22:24Speaker 2: offensive drives that averaged seven yards per play or better
- 22:28Speaker 2: and one hundred and sixth nationally and offensive drives that
- 22:32Speaker 2: average ten yards or more so. Right, they need more
- 22:36Speaker 2: explosive plays. That part of the game fascinates me. And
- 22:40Speaker 2: we keep talking about this. Will Penn State try and
- 22:43Speaker 2: just take. I mean, it's got two great running backs, guys,
- 22:46Speaker 2: and try and run behind those two backs. Will they
- 22:49Speaker 2: let Drew Aller, who had tremendous success throwing the football
- 22:52Speaker 2: last year against West Virginia. Do you just kind of
- 22:54Speaker 2: do base or do you try and mix it up
- 22:56Speaker 2: and show some of your new stuff?
- 22:58Speaker 3: Hey, brd on that stat on a profile of Penn State.
- 23:01Speaker 3: This was in the New York Times. In the game
- 23:05Speaker 3: against Michigan, a nine yard rush up the gut for
- 23:09Speaker 3: running back Catron Allen in November, and the Loston Michigan
- 23:12Speaker 3: stands out that run should have been a spark.
- 23:14Speaker 2: You aldot. You want me to guess what the next
- 23:16Speaker 2: play was after that nine yard rush go ahead? I
- 23:19Speaker 2: threw a swing pass, probably to a reserve receiver that
- 23:22Speaker 2: didn't go well.
- 23:22Speaker 3: Penn State followed with a negative play, a bubble screen
- 23:25Speaker 3: to a reserve wide receiver that lost a yard. The
- 23:29Speaker 3: fans grown that those are plays that that's what Penn
- 23:34Speaker 3: State complains about, and that's why Kodowaki is there. It's
- 23:37Speaker 3: supposed to change that right.
- 23:38Speaker 2: Correct. Now, Let's look at this particular matchup from last year,
- 23:42Speaker 2: because this shows you why Penn State controlled that game
- 23:46Speaker 2: from mid third quarter on and ultimately won the game.
- 23:49Speaker 2: Penn State averaged seven point four yards per play last
- 23:52Speaker 2: year against West Virginia. Okay, that's almost two full yards
- 23:57Speaker 2: better than its season average against all other TA teams,
- 24:01Speaker 2: almost two yards per seven point four. Fine, it's absolutely
- 24:05Speaker 2: work seven point four. So they did that against West Virginia.
- 24:07Speaker 2: They had that seventy four yard touchdown pass. They had
- 24:10Speaker 2: another twenty five yard touchdown pass. So they hit some
- 24:12Speaker 2: big plays against West Virginia. West Virginia's got to shut
- 24:15Speaker 2: that off this year, obviously. Conversely, West Virginia was the
- 24:19Speaker 2: opposite in this game. Last year. It averaged five point
- 24:22Speaker 2: six yards per play against Penn State. In all other games,
- 24:27Speaker 2: nearly seven yards per play. So those two what you
- 24:30Speaker 2: thought of. What Penn State folks thought of their offense
- 24:33Speaker 2: was flip flop from West Virginia to the rest of
- 24:36Speaker 2: the games. West Virginia's offense was flip flop. Didn't have
- 24:39Speaker 2: the success against that great Penn State defense. Against everybody else,
- 24:42Speaker 2: it got cooking, which we saw, so watch that this year.
- 24:46Speaker 2: I can't wait to watch what the Penn State offense
- 24:49Speaker 2: does differently, if anything. How West Virginia's defense stacks up
- 24:54Speaker 2: against those great running backs Andrew Aller and then on
- 24:57Speaker 2: West Virginia size. Does the offense for Western need to
- 25:00Speaker 2: look more like it did at the end of the
- 25:01Speaker 2: season or more like it was in the beginning when
- 25:03Speaker 2: it was still trying to figure things out. Something to watch.
- 25:06Speaker 1: Those are great stats. Well we call them bits. I'm sorry,
- 25:10Speaker 1: great bits, bras bits.
- 25:15Speaker 2: I'm or we'll say more. We got an show this week.
- 25:16Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So you'll do keys to the game coming
- 25:19Speaker 1: up maybe yeah? Uh spreadsident stats the Tuesday edition brought
- 25:27Speaker 1: to us by Coindly CPA group providing value beyond numbers.
- 25:31Speaker 1: So you'll do keys of the game on Thursday.
- 25:34Speaker 2: I usually I do less keys and more matchups or
- 25:37Speaker 2: things to watch. That's what part of that was. That's
- 25:41Speaker 2: a couple of things to watch. Watch the field, position battle.
- 25:43Speaker 2: Watch what's happening in terms of big plays. Watch what's
- 25:47Speaker 2: happening in terms of red zone efficiency? Can you score
- 25:50Speaker 2: touchdowns if you're westor didn't.
- 25:51Speaker 1: Yeah. If you're a business owner, you need to watch
- 25:53Speaker 1: and make sure that your employees can communicate with one another.
- 25:57Speaker 1: If you've got phone issues, it may be time. If
- 26:00Speaker 1: you've been holding back. Technology is absolutely amazing when it
- 26:04Speaker 1: comes to business phone systems, and Comacs is there to
- 26:07Speaker 1: help you from one digital line to one thousand lines.

- 26:47Speaker 1: Yeah, taking pontoons in starting off near State College, you're
- 26:51Speaker 1: gonna come down well, so I don't know how they're doing.
- 26:53Speaker 1: They're gonna get down to the Yak, They're gonna come
- 26:55Speaker 1: through the kane E. They're gonna come down through there
- 26:57Speaker 1: and then I don't know if they have to pick
- 26:59Speaker 1: the boats up then get back on the water in
- 27:01Speaker 1: West Virginia. Whatever way it's going to work. But those
- 27:03Speaker 1: boats that Penn State will come in On are provided

- 28:31Speaker 3: And I mentioned Matt Mueller had that little teeny blanket. Yeah,
- 28:35Speaker 3: And I got a text from him, regular listener. He's
- 28:40Speaker 3: from Morgantown, played at Morgantown High, played at Lehigh rad
- 28:43Speaker 3: defensive end Lee High. Remember that went on, did some coaching,
- 28:46Speaker 3: and now is that I own a prep in New
- 28:48Speaker 3: York and teaching social studies there. And I got a
- 28:52Speaker 3: kind of a semi angry text saying I had a
- 28:54Speaker 3: twenty year football career and you talked about my banking.
- 29:00Speaker 3: So I promised Matt I would mention that he was
- 29:02Speaker 3: a standout football player at Morgantown. Tony said, remember him,
- 29:05Speaker 3: and also he played college football Lafayette and he's a
- 29:08Speaker 3: Big three guys listener.
- 29:09Speaker 1: Well, thank you, Matt.
- 29:10Speaker 2: I don't know if Matt's a regular listener, then he
- 29:13Speaker 2: should realize that's exactly what we would talk about. That's
- 29:15Speaker 2: exactly how this show does.
- 29:16Speaker 3: Yeah. I think he did get that. He was disappointed
- 29:19Speaker 3: was not any football mentioned.
- 29:21Speaker 1: I don't know why you had. I don't know why
- 29:22Speaker 1: I had to besmirch his character. Fine, young upstanding guy. Yeah,

- 35:49Speaker 2: But easy, it's easy.
- 35:51Speaker 3: It's still drinkable.
- 35:52Speaker 2: Yeah, very easy.
- 35:53Speaker 3: It's not gonna I mean if you like, it's not
- 35:55Speaker 3: one of those beers that's gonna turn you off because
- 35:57Speaker 3: it's so different. But it's different enough.
- 35:59Speaker 1: Yeah, that's nice. That is exactly what we were trying
- 36:02Speaker 1: to accomplish. We always want these things to be extremely drinkable.
- 36:06Speaker 1: Here's a little bit on it. This beer features a
- 36:09Speaker 1: harmonious blend of American and European malts, expertly paired with
- 36:13Speaker 1: a generous helping of cascade citra and mosaic ops, creating
- 36:17Speaker 1: a crisp, crushable brew gentle hints of citrus and tropical fruits,
- 36:22Speaker 1: complimented by a whisper of earthy undertones. It is a
- 36:26Speaker 1: responsible five point zero alcohol content. All right, We're going
- 36:32Speaker 1: to get it into retail as soon as possible. It
- 36:34Speaker 1: will be at the food court, and we are efforting
- 36:38Speaker 1: to have it at the Gomart in flat Woods and
- 36:41Speaker 1: various other Gomart facilities. So shout out to everyone involved
- 36:47Speaker 1: in this project. And I'm gonna take my first sip.
- 36:50Speaker 1: Can you say you call it? Oh?
- 36:52Speaker 3: Yeah, you're fantastic.
- 36:54Speaker 1: You're very good beer, very good beer. I like it. Yeah, tasty, tasty.
- 37:03Speaker 1: I'm a huge Whenever I drink anything, I always have
- 37:06Speaker 1: it with food. I'm not someone that just can supect
- 37:09Speaker 1: just like drink like seven beers. I don't do that.
- 37:12Speaker 1: I always have it with food. So when I drink
- 37:15Speaker 1: that and I'm thinking, immediately comes into my head like
- 37:18Speaker 1: barbecue meatballs like savory stuff. You drink it with that
- 37:22Speaker 1: and it's like a perfect pairing.
- 37:24Speaker 3: Agreed.
- 37:25Speaker 2: So you come get that little to go box there
- 37:27Speaker 2: that rev keV or those meatballs that Duka from the
- 37:30Speaker 2: wine bars putting out there. Have yourself a connection three
- 37:34Speaker 2: oh four. That's a good start to game day.
- 37:36Speaker 3: Unlike you, without food, I might sit on my deck
- 37:38Speaker 3: and have a couple of these.
- 37:40Speaker 1: Well, that's fine, you can do that.
- 37:42Speaker 3: I like them.
- 37:43Speaker 1: Like it?
- 37:43Speaker 3: Do you like it? That's good? I did?
- 37:44Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 37:45Speaker 3: And you're not a big beer drinker, right, it was?
- 37:47Speaker 3: It was?
- 37:47Speaker 2: It was very easy.
- 37:49Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm saying easy, easy, but distinctive.
- 37:51Speaker 2: Very distinctive.
- 37:52Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 37:52Speaker 2: I don't get it any job. And the can I
- 37:54Speaker 2: just can't get over the cans. I think that's an
- 37:56Speaker 2: awesome look.
- 38:00Speaker 3: Drinking beer on a Tuesday. I feel like Pat McAfee here.
- 38:06Speaker 1: Pat would never do that.

- 41:01Speaker 3: The three of.
- 41:01Speaker 1: Us Textual healing. Now, three guys, two questions. Is this
- 41:10Speaker 1: upcoming Penn State game one of the top three at
- 41:13Speaker 1: home since the stadium opened in nineteen eighty.
- 41:18Speaker 2: The number one Ohio State's way up there.
- 41:21Speaker 3: Probably a Virginia Tech game is up there somewhere, Boston
- 41:24Speaker 3: College game.
- 41:25Speaker 1: I say, no, maybe top ten, but not top three.
- 41:29Speaker 2: You don't think it doesn't happened for so long.
- 41:33Speaker 1: I mean, I'm talking about games of great significant.
- 41:35Speaker 3: If West Virginia wins, it's going to rank up t
- 41:40Speaker 3: it'll go.
- 41:40Speaker 1: As an all time win. Yeah, but I'm saying, is.
- 41:42Speaker 2: That one season opening top ten opponent that hasn't been
- 41:45Speaker 2: here in thirty years. That's that's pretty significant. That's a
- 41:50Speaker 2: pretty significantpponent.
- 41:51Speaker 1: I guess you would also have to define what what
- 41:53Speaker 1: do you mean by top three?
- 41:54Speaker 3: Like?
- 41:54Speaker 1: Are we in season and we're playing for a Biggiest
- 41:56Speaker 1: championship and you got to win a game? You gotta
- 41:57Speaker 1: beat Miami in ninety You know what I'm saying. Good
- 42:00Speaker 1: questions open to interpretation. I'd say off top of my head. Initially,
- 42:05Speaker 1: I'd say, no, I think.
- 42:06Speaker 3: You got two. You got two Penn Stak, you got
- 42:08Speaker 3: two other Penn State games.
- 42:09Speaker 1: Yeah, top three, top three season opener, Oh, season opener. No, No,
- 42:14Speaker 1: he didn't. I'm just saying he didn't say. I'll give
- 42:16Speaker 1: you top three season opener, but I'm not going to
- 42:18Speaker 1: give you top three all time.
- 42:22Speaker 3: Texter.
- 42:23Speaker 1: Does Penn State score at least twenty points? Yes, I'd
- 42:26Speaker 1: be stunned if they don't.
- 42:27Speaker 3: I hope they don't, but I think I think they will.
- 42:31Speaker 1: Texter are three guys, Seth and Florida. I noticed West
- 42:33Speaker 1: Virginia the only Big twelve team facing a ranked opponent
- 42:36Speaker 1: out of conference this year and is only the only
- 42:40Speaker 1: Big twelve team that will play two power four opponents
- 42:43Speaker 1: out of conference. What a challenge. Let's go.
- 42:45Speaker 2: There's a lot of services that had this West Virginia
- 42:47Speaker 2: schedule overall as a top ten national strength to schedule.
- 42:52Speaker 1: Dean lives in Parsons, but he's originally from Oh No,
- 42:55Speaker 1: Dean from Parsons, but now he's in Fairmont. On the
- 42:58Speaker 1: topic of body clock, I often here, including on this
- 43:01Speaker 1: very show, how the understanding of the science of the
- 43:03Speaker 1: body has changed the way players prepare themselves mentally and physically,
- 43:07Speaker 1: including diet, sleep, et cetera. Have teams in coaching staffs
- 43:11Speaker 1: cracked the code on best practices to prepare their body
- 43:15Speaker 1: clocks for the increasingly common cross country conference games? If so,
- 43:20Speaker 1: what kinds of things do teams and players do in
- 43:22Speaker 1: preparation for these trips. They're cognizant of it. They do
- 43:29Speaker 1: various things. I don't think there's any you know, great
- 43:34Speaker 1: super surprise secret. I personally think if you make too
- 43:37Speaker 1: much of it, it just gets in your head. Yeah,
- 43:40Speaker 1: just go play. Seriously. I just think too much is
- 43:45Speaker 1: made out of it. I mean, how many people go
- 43:46Speaker 1: to work every single day, you know, hours and hours
- 43:50Speaker 1: and hours and hours. I mean we're talking about getting
- 43:53Speaker 1: on an airplane man and flying like, I don't care
- 43:55Speaker 1: if it was six hours. It's not six hours, it's
- 43:58Speaker 1: three three and a half hours.
- 44:00Speaker 3: You're so what, Yeah, I tend to agree. I mean,
- 44:04Speaker 3: I think if you were doing it on a regular
- 44:06Speaker 3: basis where you were going three hours away or something,
- 44:09Speaker 3: but or you were traveling or you're you know, playing
- 44:12Speaker 3: the game in Ireland, I mean, sure there's a body
- 44:15Speaker 3: clock issue, but otherwise.
- 44:18Speaker 1: Three guys, this is a special week for many reasons,
- 44:20Speaker 1: but one I'm most excited for is that we get
- 44:23Speaker 1: to officially baptize a new family into Mountaineer Nation. When
- 44:27Speaker 1: my family flies to Morgantown from Houston on Thursday, will
- 44:30Speaker 1: be joined by my good friend Gary, his wife Tina,
- 44:34Speaker 1: and their two kids. This Portsmouth Portsmouth, England native moved
- 44:40Speaker 1: to Houston several years ago, and when we met, Gary
- 44:43Speaker 1: told me he was interested in becoming a college football
- 44:45Speaker 1: fan and finding a team to cheer for. Fast forward
- 44:49Speaker 1: five years. He's an avid Three Guys listener and he's
- 44:52Speaker 1: attended one road game, but hasn't yet experienced the beauty
- 44:54Speaker 1: and splendor a Milan Pushcar stadium. Direct your attention to
- 44:57Speaker 1: the monitor as two of the great orators of our state,
- 45:01Speaker 1: and Brad, can you give him a short preview of
- 45:04Speaker 1: what to expect in Morgantown. Sincerely, sincerely, Scott in the Woodlands. Heyrey,
- 45:09Speaker 1: you look at that's funny college first day, so Gary,
- 45:14Speaker 1: So he's from England. I would say probably something analogous
- 45:19Speaker 1: to a great Premier League soccer match where people are
- 45:24Speaker 1: jacked up and excited and it's just a good vibe
- 45:27Speaker 1: and a good feel. If you could send us a
- 45:31Speaker 1: note tell us how that does go once he experienced that,
- 45:36Speaker 1: Texter says, I've got an over under last year, West
- 45:39Speaker 1: Virginia and Penn State combined for four hundred and ninety
- 45:41Speaker 1: four total pass yards over under five hundred total passing
- 45:46Speaker 1: yards this Saturday.
- 45:53Speaker 3: Probably under senator Under.
- 45:59Speaker 1: Text, he says, I was in DeKalb, Illinois last month
- 46:02Speaker 1: visiting Northern Illinois University, where I graduated Huskies. Met someone
- 46:07Speaker 1: from Niger. He noticed my WVU shirt. He knew Morgantown,
- 46:12Speaker 1: he knew Pat White, he knew Tavon Austin. As a
- 46:15Speaker 1: sports broadcast major. He's now in law school where his
- 46:18Speaker 1: project in the lawsuit of Sean Alston versus the NCAA
- 46:22Speaker 1: signed by Bob from Charlestown. You ever been there?
- 46:25Speaker 3: Charlotte where Charlestown, West.
- 46:27Speaker 1: Virginia never heard of it. Texter Tony, the Senator Dean
- 46:33Speaker 1: of Broadcaster is a friend of mine. Played against West
- 46:36Speaker 1: Virginia for Penn State in the eighties. He called it
- 46:38Speaker 1: the toughest place to play. From the incoming projectiles at
- 46:42Speaker 1: their bus getting to the stadium, to their walk through
- 46:45Speaker 1: at the stadium, they were under constant bombardment.
- 46:47Speaker 3: That's wrong, by the way, what's it? I mean, throwing
- 46:50Speaker 3: stuff at the team.
- 46:52Speaker 1: It's not proper etiquette, not at all, he said, having
- 46:54Speaker 1: a football helmet on getting hit with an empty pine
- 46:57Speaker 1: of whiskey bottle drops you to your knees. See, awas
- 47:00Speaker 1: find that to be bs, I find that. Show me
- 47:05Speaker 1: show me one time a guy got hit in the
- 47:07Speaker 1: head with a whiskey bottle in the helmet and he
- 47:09Speaker 1: went to his knees. I this urban legend. Anyway, he
- 47:13Speaker 1: was on a team that lost to West Virginia and
- 47:15Speaker 1: someone in Morgantown has the greatest piece of sports memorabilia,
- 47:18Speaker 1: Joe Paterno's glasses. After a Penn State lost, someone took
- 47:22Speaker 1: Joe's glasses. Joe, being blind, put his hands on my back,
- 47:26Speaker 1: on my friend's back, and said, get me to the
- 47:27Speaker 1: locker room. Keep us laughing. Go Mountaineers. That could have happened.
- 47:32Speaker 1: He could have men, may have may have lost his glasses.
- 47:35Speaker 1: Three guys, This is aj from South Park. Is James Franklin,
- 47:38Speaker 1: the most unlikable coach in college football. His haughty attitude
- 47:43Speaker 1: let him on a five minute ran after a Penn
- 47:45Speaker 1: State reporter apparently coughed during his press conference yesterday. Be
- 47:49Speaker 1: sure to mask up and wash your hands before interviewing
- 47:51Speaker 1: him this week. I didn't know about that. I didn't either,
- 47:56Speaker 1: Nate for Morgantown Rites. I'm currently having dinner and Manitau Springs, Colorado,
- 48:03Speaker 1: after a day of exploring Pike's Peak. As I turn
- 48:06Speaker 1: around to order my food, a man comes walking across
- 48:09Speaker 1: in a West Virginia hatton shirt. Naturally, I greet him
- 48:12Speaker 1: with the call of our people, let's go him out
- 48:13Speaker 1: and hear as we begin to chat. Turns out he's
- 48:15Speaker 1: from Martinsburg, meeting his son who lives in California, halfway
- 48:19Speaker 1: in for a family vacation. Even in reclaimed Big twelve territory.
- 48:22Speaker 1: There's always a West Virginia connection. Can I wait to

- 48:44Speaker 1: The Memphis Botanic Garden hosts five outdoor concerts live at
- 48:48Speaker 1: the Garden each year. Last country singer Sam Hunt, in
- 48:52Speaker 1: the middle of a set, breaks out singing country roads.
- 48:55Speaker 1: You guys are right. There's something comforting about that song
- 48:57Speaker 1: that seems universal. And interestingly they never changed the words.
- 49:00Speaker 1: West Virginia is something else. I loved it. I also
- 49:03Speaker 1: enjoy your show. Now, let's beat the hell out of
- 49:06Speaker 1: Penn State. Signed by Charleston Blair of Memphis, Texter. My
- 49:13Speaker 1: ears perked last episode at the Jumping Branch Mansion, as
- 49:17Speaker 1: my wife is from there and even in West Virginia.
- 49:19Speaker 1: It isn't one you hear about often. While you may
- 49:22Speaker 1: miss the metropolita, the metropolis, Yeah, that's the word. While
- 49:28Speaker 1: you may miss the metropolis that is Jumping Branch. While
- 49:31Speaker 1: driving along Route three between Glade Springs and Hinton for
- 49:33Speaker 1: the annual train at Day's Festival, the mention of it
- 49:36Speaker 1: did bring up one of my favorite West Virginia connections stories.
- 49:40Speaker 1: Absolutely While my wife and I were still living in DC,
- 49:43Speaker 1: we were leaving a National's Pirates game and the simple
- 49:47Speaker 1: mention of jumping branch in the sea of the thirty
- 49:50Speaker 1: to forty thousand fans exiting caught the attention of a
- 49:52Speaker 1: passer by who shouted, back, did someone say jumping banch
- 49:55Speaker 1: West Virginia turned out to be another jumping branch in
- 49:59Speaker 1: who I knew, both my wife's family and my family
- 50:02Speaker 1: in Morgantown. Of course he did. There is always a
- 50:04Speaker 1: West Virginia connection, no matter how small. Looking forward to
- 50:07Speaker 1: the barbecue, Steven sob and Morgantown, you remember his brother?
- 50:11Speaker 2: Yeah, did he write songs for?
- 50:13Speaker 1: Said some song?
- 50:13Speaker 3: He didn't goes to this so like he's kind of like, no,
- 50:16Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 50:17Speaker 1: He's a classic musician because those musicians always break up,
- 50:21Speaker 1: don't they.
- 50:22Speaker 2: I know, But it was just him. Did he break
- 50:23Speaker 2: up with and he broke up with us?
- 50:24Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying, he broke up with himself,
- 50:27Speaker 1: Like he just maybe have had creative differences with hisself
- 50:29Speaker 1: and himself so he doesn't produce.
- 50:32Speaker 2: Maybe it was us.
- 50:34Speaker 3: Well, I mean, like you said, musicians, I mean Oasis
- 50:38Speaker 3: is just getting back together after fifteen years apart. So
- 50:40Speaker 3: maybe we'll hear back from him.
- 50:43Speaker 1: I'm going to read this text because it was like
- 50:45Speaker 1: I almost deleted it, but I'll read it. You ever
- 50:48Speaker 1: hear a song that you can't remember the name of
- 50:51Speaker 1: or who sings it and it drives you crazy, Well,
- 50:53Speaker 1: what if we played some obscure songs on the speaker
- 50:56Speaker 1: during mountaineer games, let our players know what the song is,
- 50:59Speaker 1: and the opposing t would play bad because they won't
- 51:01Speaker 1: be focused on the game and we would have an
- 51:03Speaker 1: internal conflict going on in their minds trying to remember
- 51:06Speaker 1: the song. This is next level mental warfare that can
- 51:09Speaker 1: take us to the next level. Then he said I'm
- 51:10Speaker 1: not drunk.
- 51:12Speaker 3: Interesting strategicy though, I like that.
- 51:14Speaker 2: Well done for the last line, though, just to clarify.
- 51:16Speaker 1: That you may not be drunk, but you do need help,
- 51:19Speaker 1: I'd say that, Hey, guys, just got out of the

- 52:40Speaker 1: four platform.
- 52:41Speaker 2: Did a good one? It would be bring people together,
- 52:43Speaker 2: I mean divide. You'd bring people together rather than divide well.
- 52:47Speaker 3: The fact that we have West Virginians everywhere. There's votes there, right, Yeah,

- 56:32Speaker 1: my truck. Texter Josh from Audra State Park. I am
- 56:40Speaker 1: thankful the Big twelve has advanced their technology enough to
- 56:43Speaker 1: list multiple time zones. Keeping body clock for different times
- 56:47Speaker 1: will be much easier, to be said. They did a
- 56:49Speaker 1: good job when they put their release out. Oh they
- 56:51Speaker 1: I didn't see it. They actually did. They had the
- 56:53Speaker 1: actual zones. Yeah, it was kind of weird, but they did.
- 56:56Speaker 1: The first listing was when the game was happening in
- 56:59Speaker 1: the city that it was happening Okay, right, So Morgan.
- 57:05Speaker 2: I know that's overly complicated. TV's been doing this for decades.
- 57:09Speaker 2: Just list the Eastern time first and go off that
- 57:11Speaker 2: they only give two times that they're making it harder,
- 57:16Speaker 2: trying to help them with some work.
- 57:19Speaker 1: Texter Texter peach pie in the start of the college
- 57:23Speaker 1: football season. The peach is a difficult fruit to put
- 57:26Speaker 1: in a pie in the perfect metaphor for the start
- 57:28Speaker 1: of the college football season. Unripe it is too firm,
- 57:31Speaker 1: lacks the sweetness and the proper peach flavor. Over ripe,
- 57:34Speaker 1: the peach can be mushy, mealy, or even worse, moldy. Oh,
- 57:39Speaker 1: there is a narrow window where the fruit is at
- 57:41Speaker 1: its best. Even with the perfect peach, the peach pie
- 57:44Speaker 1: is a balance with soupy and goopy. Many times you
- 57:48Speaker 1: can't really know what you'll have until you take it
- 57:50Speaker 1: out of the oven and let it cool. Perfect or not.
- 57:53Speaker 1: The peach pie in the first kickoff are welcome treats
- 57:56Speaker 1: at the end of August.
- 57:57Speaker 4: That's good, good point points.
- 57:59Speaker 1: I'm bummed out. I've only gotten one good pack of
- 58:02Speaker 1: peaches so far this season. Those are now.

- 58:28Speaker 1: Okay, fine, forget it. I'm not even going down the road, Texter.
- 58:33Speaker 1: Do you think where losses come during the season affects
- 58:36Speaker 1: the perception of how this season goes? I could see
- 58:38Speaker 1: us being four and four, but finish eight and four.
- 58:41Speaker 2: I think that can happen.
- 58:42Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 58:43Speaker 2: By the way, that's what we talked about that opening
- 58:45Speaker 2: those opening eight games. All due respect Albany, you feel
