  Speaker 1: are you just jumped over a big, big, one weight nine.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: You there and you went and made it to the
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: other side. Welcome in, everybody, one and all. It's three

  Speaker 1: guys before the game, our post Kansas game review. Thanks

• 1:13
  Speaker 1: but you can't tell. I can't tell. That's a pretty
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: nice problem to have. All right, we're gonna bust it
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: all down, textual healing, the emotional roller coaster of West
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Virginia and Kansas. Let's do it. Three guys brought to
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: us by Comack's Business Systems. What they do is they
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: keep West Virginia's business data safe, secure and efficient for
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: twenty five years, and that's a good thing. Like Gomart,

• 1:52
  Speaker 1: to save some money, go to Gomart. Lou Wendel Marine

  Speaker 1: Sales in Saint Albans. They sell family fun I've got
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: breaking news on the boat situation involving Kansas's travel here
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: from Lawrence, Kansas on those pontoon boats. Yeah, yeah, it
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: didn't happen. They flew. Visit lou Wendelmarinessales dot com. I
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: do have information on that though, what it would have taken.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Three guys also, three guys also brought to us by
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Tutors Biscuit World Start your day the homemade way we
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: record on Sunday mornings. That's right, Hoppy's got his Tutor's
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Biscuit World cup. It hot, it cold? How does it now?
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Do it?
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: No? Three guys also brought to us Bottier's.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Biscuits sitting out there anywhere.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I did not get any today. I'm sorry. It was
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: good last week.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Also Conley's CPA group providing value beyond numbers. We'll get
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: into spreads on stats, value beyond numbers Conny CPA. Yeah,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: what bread? All right, let's start, let's start, let's start
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: carving up this this performance. Just a bunch of random thoughts. Well,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: guess what, that's the identity of this show. Just a
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: bunch of random thoughts. But like, how bizarre is it?
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: In the category of bizarre. West Virginia's now played four
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: football games. Two of those have been suspended at length
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: because of lightning and rain delays, which is just bizarre.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: First time that's ever happened in the same season at home,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: two in a row. And then the other part of
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: it is, in back to back weeks, you had the
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: absolute inverse happen. So last week West Virginia double figure lead,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter, two straight scorers by the opposition, West Virginia
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: unable to get a first down. Yesterday, West Virginia down
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: double digits, down eleven score, two straight drives. In between that,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Kansas unable to get a first down. I mean, the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: exact inverse of what happened in the course of seven days.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: It's enough, I say enough to make you just scream
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: at the top of your lungs.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Wait, so you're saying sports can be unpredictable? Is that
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: what you're saying? I say, sometimes it doesn't go exactly
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: as you think it's going to go, even within a game.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: That's that's a true statement. Who knew that's that's a
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: that's a true statement. Just ask North Carolina he better
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: now seventy to fifty the final score James Madison over
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: North Carolina JMU twelve three pointers in the game to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: help lead their way to victory. But that's that's their problem,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the rebounded North Carolina, they all read about it. That's
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: their problem that they'll have to deal with. But let's uh,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: let's dissect this thing. We have not chatted as far
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: as what we thought of the game. So we're going
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: to do it in front of you and then bring
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: you guys in with your textual healing comments later. And
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I will say this about textual healing. I had an epiphany. Yeah,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I had an epiphany. What is it? Well? After last week, right,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: two hundred plus texts of people just screaming at the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: top of their lungs, folks screaming, fans, screaming at top
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: of lungs. Okay, I get it. And then this week
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: you had this really interesting bifurcation of comments.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: I assume time was a factor in this. I assume
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: when the texts were received based on time of day,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: that's the bifurcation, the bifurcation. Wait till the end of
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: the game to make comments. You just kind of flow up.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the bifurcation was BS before storm and then the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: AS and then AS after storm, right, And so it
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: was so wild as I went through these of people
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: just at the screaming top of their lungs, all capital letters, firefirefire.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: How many people then came back and said, just cannot
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: retract that, delete that. My sorry, I was emotional. I apologize,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: but anyway, So my epiphany was this, and this is
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: good for me. After doing this for as many years
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: as I've done this, this, I just have a new
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: foundation point. And this is going to be like a
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: hoppy obvious observation. I probably should have known this for years,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: but I really didn't realize it. That we are dealing
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and we deal in a world what we do, the
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: sport that we follow, the sports that we follow. When
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: we cover no matter which way you define it or
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: slice it, all it is is an emotional cauldron. That's
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: all this is. And so at times the thing absolutely
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: explodes and it's very emotional, either good or bad. But
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I think if you just put it into that context
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: that helps you. When it's like super bad, you just
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: go like, well, this is all based upon emotion. Or
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: last night after the game was over in West Virginia
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: one there people are really super happy. It's just the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: positive side. But regardless, it's always an emotional cauldron that
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: you're in, and I think it helps, like put it
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: in a context at all times, both when you're celebrating
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: a victory and when you're down. It's just like it's
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: emotion based. So emotions go up and down, people get hot,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: people get happy, but it's just emotion. Yeah, yeah, I
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: think that's it.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Following sports, being a fan is based on you know,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: fanatic is based on emotion. So and we're not in
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: the culture in which we live and it's probably been
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: this way for a long time, is that you're not
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: given to deep contemplation at the time. You're having an
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: emotional response to a play, to a quarter, to a game,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: and you're on that ride.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, I mean I'm guilty as charl I am too.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I mean during the game, during the game, after they
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: scored on that end around late with Luke Grimm running
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: that end around, I went like, right, you just sit
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: there and go. I think the word deplorable may have
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: been used at one point by an announcer. Deplorable announcer
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: might have been me. But anyway, and then then you
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: come back, so let's let's bust it up. Go okay hoo.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: My obvious obvious observations one is I'll build on what
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: you said, Tony, and that is I think that going forward,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: when they put the records in the in the media guide,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: they should put a asterisk back by this season and
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: just say you look down below and says peculiar, you know,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: because I mean four games in and this is a
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: so far a peculiar season. The two storm delays in Morgantown,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the how these as you just talked about, how these
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: games happened up until the pit game. Every team I
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: was given the stat every team that had been up
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: by ten points with five minutes ago had won until
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: the West Virginia pit game. And then you see what
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: happened in the last two weeks involving the same team
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: with different results. I mean, that's just that's odd. That's odd.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Even though we'll get to what Neil Brown said about
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: number one. Number two is you know, Brad, the way
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: it is in sport, you keep you keep tracking, he
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: keeps scorse. So there's a winner, there's a losards black
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: and white. But in reality, the margins are so close, right,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: correct margins? I wonder you may have a stat for this,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: how close the margins are?
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Roger Federer, the great tennis player, gave a commencement speech
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: at Dartmouth this year and he said this, in tennis,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: perfections impossible. In the one thousand, five hundred and twenty
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: six singles matches I played in my career, I won
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: almost eighty percent of the matches. But what but he
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: only won fifty four percent of the points, but he
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: won eight So what's that tell you about sport? The
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: margin is so close, And I think, especially you look
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: at the Big twelve, how these.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Teams are really pretty close. They're they're not that different.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: So the margin is literally a couple of plays in
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: a game. The third point is that Garrett Green was
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: kind of up and down during the game. But Garrett
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Green in the last couple of minutes put that Brad
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: put that team on his back. And it's a team sport.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: So other guys made plays. Two, But you need a leader,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: you need a guy. And the quote that's attributed to
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Andrew Jackson, I think I'm not actually sure he said it,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: but as one man with courage makes a majority. And
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Dwight Wallace likes to say that one man with courage
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: that the defensive line coach Andrew Jackson. No, he was
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: the only one.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah he was might have been defensive line coach but
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: also president United States.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: But the up But a guy, a guy who steps up,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: grabs that, grabs whatever he needs to grab and makes
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: plays and pulls that and wills that team forward.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: And that's what Garrett Green did in the last couple
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: of minutes of that game.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: So your most important player at the most position, most
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: important position in football, made some plays and you won
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: the game. So that what you're saying, that's exactly that's
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: part of your observation, as part of my obvious observation.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: So a really good.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Player made really good plays.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Anyone, that's part of it.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good one. We've got some numbers to
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: back up Garret's performance pretty well.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Coming up Conley's CPA, we'll get spreads on stats, okay, wire.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: To further to further your point, of those games were
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: the exact polar opposite one eighty from each other against
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Pitt and against West Virginia. So a couple things may
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: have been said once or twice on this program that
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: West Virginia had a stretch coming of a bunch of
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: coin flip games. Said coin flip probably is close to
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: as many times as we've sent Andy Coldle Nickcky on
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: this show. Close right, they're one and two. I think
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: in the the lexicon of the show, we're.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Going to struggle next week on a bye week to
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: get Coldal Nicky's name in. We're going to have to
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: put it in, put it in.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Might just start doing that every show moving forward for
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: the rest of the season. Andy Codle Nicky, you got
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: of like hoppy with Daniels. Daniels just randomly. Now, Ollie
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Gordon's going to be tough to stop Andy Codle Nicky.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: I'm going to throw it in like that. So these
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: coin flip games have turned into the stretch that began
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: against Pitt You've had two What if the two been
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: at dead at different points in the game, you were
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: sure you were going to win, at different points in
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: the game, you were sure you were going to lose.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: And that's true for both sidelines. But just one number
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: that jumps out. This isn't our section yet, but one number.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: The last two drives of the last two games. In
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: the Kansas game, West Virginia had one hundred and forty
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: two yards of total offense in the final two drives drives.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: West Virginia had one for two In the pit game.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: The last two drives against West Virginia, they had one
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty four yards. I mean, it's it's it
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: was reminded. That's just one number. We could go down
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: the list. It's amazing how similar those games played out.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: West Virginia just happened to be on the good side
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: of it. And oh, this, by the way, sports sometimes
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: balances itself out right, And you hear that a lot
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: if you've if you've played baseball over any amount of time,
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: that's the sport that seems to do this the most right.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: And people talk all the times.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: There's sometimes hot you come up and you absolutely hit
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: a seed, and sometimes it's right at somebody and they
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: make a play on you. And then somewhere down the line,
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: usually pretty close to that, you're gonna come up and
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: you're gonna hit a little bloop and it's going to
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: find all the way down the hole. And you know
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: what you are. When those two things happen, you're one
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: for two, right, So they balance each other out. And
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: I think that's what we've seen over the last couple
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: of weeks is in sports, sometimes you get breaks, but
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: generally those things even themselves.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: What did Neil Brown say?
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, Neil Brown didn't didn't come out and say
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: he said the most common, straightforward thing which you just
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: alluded to.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: He says, most things even out.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: That was his quote after the game, most things even out,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: which is a very rational view of what took place
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: over the last two weeks.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: If you've played any sport for any amount of time,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: you know that intimately, sometimes you get great looks in
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: basketball and as a shooter and they don't fall. Other
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: times you're on fire and it doesn't matter if someone's
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: in your face, if you're fade to, you hit them.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: And that's what we've seen from West Virginia. They made
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: plays yesterday against Kansas that led them to a win.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Against Pitt, they were unable to make the play or
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: two that they needed to get the w You.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Know, it's crazy.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: I bet today and Brad and I were talking about
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: this in our preparation for the podcast.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: You guys talk before I come in. What do you do?
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: You have a previous meeting? We met at seven thirty
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: this morning, two guys before the show that I don't.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Haven't looked at the Kansas message forwards. I'm sure, like,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: why did they get so conservative? I did look at them,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Oh did you I wanted to see. Yes, I wanted
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: to see.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know about conservative, but I don't
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: know why they threw that ball late. That's a big
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: thing that wasn't I need to send a thank you?
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Which one the one in the on the side just
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: before the third big third down, just before the rain
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: delay third two? You've been running the ball?
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: I had to throw it over him so which was
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: an unbelievable catch. He just happened to be out of bounds,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: or at least not enough evidence to say his inbounts.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: I have no idea why he didn't run it.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: That was a big help.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: And when they when they couldn't get a first down,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: when they wanted to run clock they went to the
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: run which they had been running successfully. So so I did,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: so I did the week before. Yeah, so I did
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: go to the I did because why?
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Why? Because sometimes why do people slow down when there's
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: a car accident Because you want you want to, you
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: want to you want to just kind of take a look, right,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: you just want to kind of see what what exactly
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: is going on. And it is remarkable how similar the
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: comments are being directed toward Kansas that were being directed
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: toward West Virginia last week. You literally, in some of
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the comments could take out the coach's name or position,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: and it's the same exact thing, which brought me again
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: to that epiphany that I was talking about. It's very,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: very similar. But they're distraught. Why they're preseason top twenty five.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: They literally thought they had a chance to contend in
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: the new Big Twelve for the Big Twelve championship and
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: now they're one in three and now TCU had a
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: horrific day yesterday, but they got to go play again
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: next week. They're not off they go play TCU, they
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: are in Kansas next week, and they got to try
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: to turn this thing around. That is why this game
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: is so important for West Virginia. I said it before
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: the game started, right, we said this last week. If
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: you're one and three going into this bye week, it
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: is just like a volcano just just getting ready to explode. Instead,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: you're two and two. Now, that's not exactly where you
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: wanted to be, but you know what, you're that close
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: to three in one right and again, now we know
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: all the flaws of this football team at West Virginia. Okay,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: this is what we know. Offense has got a chance
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: to be just like we thought, a very good offense.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: It can be a productive offense. It hasn't really reached
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: peak efficiency. It can be really good. And we also
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: know this. This defense is not going to be a
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: great defense. Okay, we just know that. Now the question
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: becomes where can it get? Where can it get? Is
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: this exactly what it's gonna be all season? Or can
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: it get a little bit better? Can you get a
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: little bit more solid? Again, not going to be great,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: don't even know if it could even venture to become good,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: but can it be Okay, enough that you've got an
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: offense that's going to be able to produce points for
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: you to win games.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: This just in it's September. You got two more months
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: of football. You're allowed to get better as well. And
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: I think you've seen that, and there's some evidence of this.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: And again, how often do I say it's you can't
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: pick it's a one week business. You can't pick up
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: what you did this week and move it forward to
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: the next week, good or bad. Sometimes that happens, but
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: a lot of times it doesn't. It changes. And again,
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: this defense, here's a couple things. You have a lot
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: to work on. Defensively, you have a lot to work
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: on with your coverage still, but this defense the last
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: two weeks, you know what is better. You know what
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: is impressive. The front's the defensive front. And there's some
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: guys we're going to talk about individually with some numbers
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: that have been really impressive the last two weeks. Here's
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: the other part. You need guys to make plays in
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: big moments, and sometimes they don't and that turns into
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: a loss. And sometimes they do. It was Garrett Green offensively,
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: along with some receivers. But Garrett Green just put the
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: team on his back offensively and said I got it.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Let's go.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Six just said I'm going well defensively, Sean Martin, I
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: mean you talk about a big boy play on the
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: second to last offensive series. We just had this discussion
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: the week before when West Virginia misses a block because
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: the Pit slot corner did a better job than West
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Virginia's receiver and made a play. It was simply that
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: you could strip away all the hours of video, all
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: the coaching, all the everything. One guy beat another guy
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: and Pit won the matchup and he blew up the
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: play and it cost West Virginia game. Right, Sean Martin
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: and Kansas are doing the same thing right now. Shawn
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Martin just said, I am better and bigger than you,
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: and you're not blocking me even though you're holding me.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: By the way, was a hole, didn't call it. He
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: busts right through, gets his tackle for a loss. That
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: changed that drive. You know who else did that? Tyron
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Bradley on the last drive said, was that right? You're
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: gonna try and block me one on one. You don't
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: want to chip on me. Guess what I'm gonna do.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: You're holding me to You got one arm behind my back,
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: you're holding me. No flag on that goes right around him. Sack, fumble,
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: forced fumble, fumble, recovery, game over, will see you. That
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: was eight making a play, just said I am better
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: than you. You can't stop me, and made a play.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: So those guys, and especially the defensive front, we're gonna
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: get some pressure numbers. They have been better the last
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: two weeks. Are you perfect? Far from it? Can you
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: get better throughout the season? Absolutely?
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Can.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: I think that particular niche part of the defense has
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: done a much better job the first two weeks than
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: they did in Week one.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: All agreed, and you talk about the time for a
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: bye week that you need. That game was ruthless as
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: far as West Virginia injuries go. I mean, it was
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: absolutely bizarre. Think about this. The guys that went down.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: You're already playing without Reed Karako, who is a very
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: very quality linebacker, almost lose Josiah Trotter with a knee.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: He comes back with a brace, so you don't even
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: know what was he at yesterday? Was he fifty sixty
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: seventy percent when he went back out there?
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: TJ Krandle, But before he moved on, Trotter had six
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: tackles in the first quarter he got he's on pace
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: for twenty four tackles.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Yes, no, you're right, No, you're right. He was playing
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: absolutely TJ crandall run into Aiden Garnes. He never comes back.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Garnet Hollis has an ankle. They have to take him off.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: He eventually comes back.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: So now you're a four starters.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Wyatt Mileam goes out and if you thought they took
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: him into the locker room, he thought, okay, fine, he's done.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Aubrey Berks has a situation on the sideline. They have
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: to wretcher him off, take him over to the hospital,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: knock on wood. Fortunately he got back at the end
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: of the game and was on the sideline and he's okay.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, but that those are the ones we know about.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Who else is walking around there, just like limping and
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: gimping today.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: That's a high profile guys, right.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: So the point to all of that is, thank goodness,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: they now have an opportunity to recover and so that
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: when you go play in a couple of weeks at
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Oak State, you'll be better than you are right now.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: It worked out great, and I don't want to push ahead,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: but I'm gonna push ahead a little bit. It's already
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: a favorable situational spot for West Virginia. Go in Stillwater,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: excuse me. That's a hard place for West Virginia to play,
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: or they won there the last time they were there.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: But Utah was visiting Oklahoma State yesterday. That's a hard
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: fought game for the Cowboys. So do they get a
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: rest week this week?
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: They do not.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: They will get Kansas State next. So they're going Utah
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Kansas State in back to back weeks. At k State
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: back to back weeks. While West Virginia rests and recovers,
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: doesn't mean you're gonna win. That's a good situational spot.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Normally we see the bad situational spots that matters. We're
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: going to talk about that in the preview of next week,
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: but just an early peak. You've got a nice scheduling
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: setup for this particular game.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Earlier, I said that we don't talk football before we
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: start recording, and we don't, but we do talk about
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: other topics, and one of those was customer service before
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: we started rolling today and the unfortunately the customer service

• 22:22
  Speaker 1: think about it. That's what UD and a urinal. We
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: do have a urinal. What a weekend that was it
• 22:29

• 22:51
  Speaker 3: on to the brewery to handle capacity of this is that?
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: Did I hear that they're pursuing some construction bids right now?
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Not sure, but someone told me, and I don't have
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: this confirmed. Down Route fifty, you know, to get to Parkersburg. Yeah,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: you know how they have that oversized trailer. There was
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: four of those carrying these massive, massive silo things. I
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: think they were going to Parker's Banks. Big tanks. Yeah,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: one stretch from Doddridge all the way to Richie County.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Big tank, big tank. Yeah, there we go. Yeah, there's
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: some pictures we'll show you. We'll talk about those later.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: But yeah, all good, All good. What do you say
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: we do? You ready to do some some spreads on stats?

  Speaker 1: You don't say settle in. What does that mean? You have?
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: What do you Well?
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: I got a lot and I had to stop because
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: there's the number, the numbers.
• 23:45

• 23:57

• 24:01
  Speaker 1: that means that they're just not some old dudes and

  Speaker 1: ladies that get in there with a pencil number two
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: pencil and just put numbers onto a tax form. That's

• 24:41
  Speaker 1: over the state. All right, So, which how you doing?
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: How you cutting up?
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: So we're going to do so now that we're into
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: the season, let's do what we do. I'll run through
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: this quickly. Let's take a look back to what we
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: talked about in the preview and see what came to fruition,
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: what did not come to fruition. From a number standpoint.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Then we'll just get into some info about this game.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: You can ask some great questions too if you'd like.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: So let's take a look back Hoppy. One of the
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: biggest topics going into this game. It was Daniels Jalen
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: daniels struggles in the passing game with interceptions versus West
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: virdaniels struggling pass defense. We also talked about daniels inability
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: to push the ball down the field. Let's look at
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: those numbers Daniel's interceptions through one. You never saw Tyron
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: Bradley who sank and coverage did a great job. Bradley
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: with a pick hoop. Not only the sack, the force, fumble,
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: the recovery, but he also had to pick What a
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: day for Tyron Bradley. We'll get to that coming up.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: So an interception from Daniels came to fruition yards per
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: attempt for Daniels yesterday, up almost a full yard from
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: his big tail twelve low of six point four yards
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: through the first three games. So pushed it downfield a
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: little bit more. We also noted on Thursday we said
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: keep an eye on this. Not only has he thrown interceptions,
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: he has fumbled. He has fumbled three times heading into
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: the game. Guess what happened on the final defensive play
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: of the game for West Virginia to seal the game.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Tyron Bradley strips him fumbled by Daniels. We said to
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: watch KU's rushing game, thought they would probably lean a
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: little more heavily on the run given the passing game
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: struggles and just the ability of Devin Neil and Daniels
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: when he takes off and running. We talked about Kansas
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: offensive line had been playing well, Daniels was really or
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: Neil was really good one hundred and ten yards rushing
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: on the ground. We talked about Daniel's ability to scramble
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: and West Virginia's struggle against scrambling quarterbacks. In two of
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: the first three games, eighty seven percent of Daniel's rushing
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: yards came via the quarterback scramble. He averaged eleven and
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: a half yards per carry after contact on scrambles. So
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: that's back to back quarterbacks that have averaged ten plus
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: yards after contact on their scrambles. Now that number for
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: Daniels sounds a lot worse than what it actually was.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: He had one run of twenty one yards that accounted
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: for a lot of that. So the numbers sound really bad,
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: but it really wasn't as bad as it sounded there.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: So he had some plays where he got loose and
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: he was dangerous getting outside of contained and throwing the ball,
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: but it ended up being okay for West Virginia. On
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: the ground, West Virginia struggled to stop him. Though they
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: ran for nearly two hundred and fifty yards, fifteen of
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: their rushing downs came via first downs. That sixty three
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: percent of their first downs came on the ground. Probably
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: should run a little bit more.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Well, they had some success, and Neil made a point postgame.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Why did they have such success because what they had
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: to do in the back half of the defense, right,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: they had to basically bring more back in order to
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: stop the pass, and so you're you're lighter in the box.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: And so it's what we always talk about, and I
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: think it's I get to your point about emotion. It's
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: hard to watch games like this. I get it that
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: we do a little bit more than a fan can.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: I understand, but rarely are you going to get college teams,
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: especially in the Big Twelve this year, that are going
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: to do everything well they're just not you. Hear coaches
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: say a lot of times. This goes for basketball too.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about this when the season comes. You've got
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: to live with something. Sometimes what are you willing to
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: live with? And sometimes what you're willing to live with
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: gets you beat? Right, what can you live with? And
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: that was what West Virginia was saying. We're going to
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: help our past defense. If you run it on it,
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: we'll have to live with that and hopefully it doesn't
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: get us beat. Ultimately, you won the game, but they
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: did have success on the ground. Two of the Kansas
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: wide receivers side note had the best run blocking grades
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: for Kansas, so you wonder why those reverses were working.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: They had some good blocking on the edge from their guys.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: We also said on Thursday show to watch West Virginia
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: defensive lineman TJ. Jackson at a breakout game against Pitt
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: with his four TFLs, the most by a West Virginia
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: players since twenty eighteen. How Jackson do? Yesterday? Guys had
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: a sack and he's tied for the team lead with
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: four stops, which is a PFF staff that definition as
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: it constitutes a failure for the offense, So Jackson had
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: four of those, someone unusual for a defensive lineman to
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: lead your team there. He was West Virginia's second highest
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: graded defender. I've got some more Jackson numbers. I'll get
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: to here in just a minute. We talked offensively for
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: West Virginia about the matchup between KU's really good defensive
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: line and West Virginia's offensive line. They had both been
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: playing very well. We mentioned Jeremy Robinson from Kansas being
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: one of the top pressure guys from the right side
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: in the league, but he was going against Wyatt Milam,
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: so that should help neutralize him. Just one pressure from
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Robinson on the day. It did turn into a sack,
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: but for the most part when he was lined up
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: across from Milam, that worked out to the benefit. He
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: did work on the other side as well, but kay,
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: you got in there. They were credited with twenty one
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: pressures on the quarterback, and we'll get to why that
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: mattered coming up in just a minute. About Garrett, we
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: noted West Virginia's efficiency on defense. Came into the game
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: leading the country in fourth down conversions and fourth down
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: conversion rate. Had another successful fourth down play. Okay, that's
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: my recap from last week. That's the recap.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: So if you were to theme that, what would you say?
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Most of those things came to fruition. I mean, the
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: stuff we talked about, here's what's going to have to
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: happen for a win, kind of came to fruition, right,
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: or at least some of the things that we said
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: to watch were things that you had to watch. So
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: that actually played for the most part. Highest graded defender
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: for West Virginia. I'd ask you to guess, but you
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: really don't need to guess. Tyron Bradley talk about I
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: haven't mentioned it much this year. Hot Havoc? Oh, yeah,
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: which your sacks, forced fumbles, turnovers, passes defended?
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Is this the debut of Havoc? Now?
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: Because I'm not going to give you a Havoc rate,
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying Tyron Bradley, like was a walking Do
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: you open a havoc in the dictionary and it's Bradley's
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: picture and number right there? Sack, forced fumble, fumble, recovery, interception.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: You think that's that guy? Was good?
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: You think that's pretty good pickup, Tyron? Yeah, pretty good
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: pickup from a Christian. Pretty good pickup.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: He's his last two games, he's been really good as well.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: T J.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: Jackson I mentioned earlier to really good back to back
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: games for him. He actually flashed in the Penn State
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: game as well, so he had a sack. He's now tied.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: He is now leads the Big Twelve in total pressures.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: H pretty good.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: So we talked about this defensive line starting to get
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: some push up front. He's third in the Big Twelve
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: in sacks right now. You mentioned Trotter earlier and we
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: talked about his six tackles in the first quarter. He
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: also had four stops on the game, double digit tackle
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: so he just continues to be a guy that can
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: make some plays. Give honorable mention to Sean Martin. We
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: talked about that big boy play he had on third down,
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: so credit to him. Let's flip over to the offensive
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: side and look at some of Garrett's numbers. This was
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: a I'll dive into these numbers because I've got a
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: bunch of them. But here's here's the bottom line on Garrett. Guys,
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: he not only just said I've got it, let's go
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: get on my back. I'm gonna carry you through. He
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: was also the Garrett Green that we've seen of old.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: That was a you know what, you want to bring pressure.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: You're getting some good pressure up front. That defensive line
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: is good. You know what I'm gonna do. See, Yeah,
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: I'm out. I'm just gonna take off and make a play.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: And there were times in those last two drives where
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: I mean he dropped back and it was fast. It
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: was like, Okay, nobody's open. I'm out taking off and running.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: So that, to me is what the essence of what
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: makes Garrett Green great was on display yesterday. That's a
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: dude just making football plays. You can draw up whatever
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: you want, you can call whatever you want. That's just
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: a guy that just said I've got to go out
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: and mix in place. You saw him put a shoulder
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: down and run through a defender into the end zone.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: He saw him run around guys. He saw him make
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: guys miss. You saw him throw the ball effectively. He
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: saw him with a touch push with the help. He
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: didn't get a touch push. That's exactly right.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he helped. He got an assist on that.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Pushed him in the end zone. Some weird numbers, though,
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: how about these passing numbers? Just three of ten passing
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: on passes from zero to five yards.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: You will not a lot of those were batted down.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Kansas did a great job when they were getting pressure.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: They got hands up and knocked a lot of those down.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: But here's the flip of that. Eight of eleven on
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: passes of fifteen yards or more, two hundred and twenty
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: six yards. What did we say last year about this team?
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Run it, Garrett, run it and then throw the ball deep.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: You did it. It was back work.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Hoddy Clement.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Here's a funny little number. Garrett threw for exactly the
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: same number of yards in between the hashes middle of
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: the field fifteen yards or more. Okay, exactly the same
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: number of yards in that little niche area as Jayalen
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Daniels threw four total in the entire game.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Slats.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: So you talk about an area you were just attacking
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: middle of the field, fifteen yards downfield.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: And think about that. Most of the time, oftentimes passes
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: between the two hash marks are caught by tight ends, right,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: But you didn't get a tight end reception over the
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: middle of the entire game. The one that Cole Taylor
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: caught was obviously the touchdown out on the flat. So
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: that was all those slants that Hudson Clement was part of.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: I'll get to Clement coming up here and just say
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: we'll talk some more about him, because you talk about
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: a guy that just said you're not going to guard me,
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: I'm just going to beat on some plays. Here's what
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: we got. Garrett average nearly ten yards per attempt yesterday.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: That was almost up three yards per attempt on the season.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: Average depth of target thirteen point seven yards. So again
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: just that you were had some success pushing it down
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: the field when the game was on the line. Garrett
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: completed four of his final four passes four of his
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: final five passes. The four completions, two first downs and
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: two touchdowns. Is that good?
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: That's good?
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: That high leverage situations. One of They also had that
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: defensive pass interference play that was included in their late
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: that doesn't go down as a completion or incompletion. Really
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: effective passing the ball late.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: You don't think that was pass interference? Dude on Melo Dotson,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: I thought I thought one of the cops was going
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: to come off sideline to handcuff him. Put them from
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: malicious assault.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Still almost made the catch, Melo Dotson's having a really,
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: really good year.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: He's probably an NFL dude. At some point he had
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: a tough day. They went right after and went right
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: after him yesterday. Says that, right, come on, here we go,
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: guys making plays. Line up, you're having a great year.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: We're going to go right at you and beat you.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: And did you know it was interesting speaking of Hudson
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: in the day that he had yesterday. But Neil specifically
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: talked about him in his post game and he said
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: he was just putting too much pressure on himself to
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: st the season because you know, there were a lot
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: of accolades about him last year. He had a great,
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: great season last year and ended it in the bowl game, right,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: and so he was really ramped up and he wanted
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: to be a great like player, like I'm the guy,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: and he and Neil felt that he was pressing too
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: hard and he said, dude, you're a sophomore. He said,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: chill out, just go have fun and play. And he
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: finally played loose yesterday. Great getting them involved early, makes
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: a nice slant catch, gets yards and that just started
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: his motor.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: The one other things you saw was that one of
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: the challenges for the receivers has been to get open,
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: to get separation. And you know, he bulked up during
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: during the offseason and one play we saw where they
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: isolated on him, where the defender was up in his
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: grill and Clement just pushed him out of the way.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: You know, look, if they're going to grab you, you
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: got to be aggressive too. And he just pushed the
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: guy physically four or five yards out back and then
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: went and was open for the reception. So that's again,
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: that's how you're gonna have to play.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Garrett rushing the ball, eighty eight percent of his
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: scramble yards came after contact, six point three yards per
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: carry after contact. He was just untackleable, slippery today, slippery.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Really good.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Seven missed force tackles. That was sixty four percent of
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: the team's total in that category. He had six rushing
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: first downs, did Garrett? Four of them came on scrambles,
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: not designed runs. That final drive we mentioned he just
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: took over. That was a seven play, sixty seven yard
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: touchdown drive. Garrett count accounted for all but six yards
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: on the drive, either running or throwing the football. So
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: I won't do it. We could get into some usage
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: rates and predicted points added and expected points. His stuff
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter was off the charts. So your
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: most important player on the team that has to be
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: good for you to be good, absolutely was lights out.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: Was an All American type of player yesterday, especially late.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about Hudson for a minute. You mentioned some
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: of the key highlights. One hundred and fifty yards receiving.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: That's his second most in a game behind only that
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: one to seventy seven against Ducane last year. That's the
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: most receiving yards for a West Virginia player not named
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: Clement since Bryce Ford Wheaton went four one hundred and
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: fifty five. I think it was against Kansas in twenty
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: twenty two. Had nine targets, most in a game for
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: his career. Had seven catches, most in a game for
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: a career, career high seven catches.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Jim, he was a dude.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: How about Rodney Gallagher? Talk about Gallagher for a second.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: Did he matter? Huge punt return to set up a
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: score that was massive, nineteen year old return massive to
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: do that. He had his first career touchdown catch. He
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: had that big six yard rush on the final drive. Again,
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: I mentioned that that was the only non Garrett green
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: play of the drive. Had six targets in the passing game,
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: so he was really good on the offensive side of
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: the ball. Was good to see him emerge. Here's another
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: funny number that we don't talk about all the time.
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: Hop I mentioned this on our broadcast during the game.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: I keep an eye occasionally on field position and it
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: pops up. You get a play like Gallagher when you
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: get a punt and then he has a great return
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: that sets you up, and he started drive in really
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: good field position that oftentimes not only changes that moment
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: or that drive, it can flip the game. So I
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: was watching this throughout the game. There was a moment
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: in the third quarter. I mentioned this on air. West
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: Virginia had a plus fifteen yard field position advantage. So
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: if you want to find a number that kind of
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: follows its way. Generally, if you have a giant advantage,
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: even if it's one drive that's going to turn out well,
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: you win like ninety some percent of the games when
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: you have a ten plus yard field position advantage. It
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: didn't end up there. It balanced itself out a little bit,
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: but West Virginia was still plus seven in field position advantage,
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: which matters. That's generally a good sign.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: West Virginia started at its own thirty on average, Kansas
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: started at its own twenty three.
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: That changes the game when you do that. Okay, so
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: those are kind of my main pieces of information. Anybody
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: questions grades, anything you want to know, sir.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: I have a question, yes, representing the weekly reader. Did
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: you have a weekly reader in elementary school? Sure of
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: course it did. I used to help pass them out anyway.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: Individual grades among offensive linemen.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: Individual grades among offensive linemen. Okay, this is let's do this.
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go to the blocking tab because I think
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: you'll find this of interest.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Hold on efforting. I'm going to sing a little bit.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Who we pa? No, probably not three guys. Is currently
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: an intermission? Will be right back. Weather delay? I bet
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: that pretty crazy. We'll tell you what they do. A
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: nice job boy, because whenever they put that thing on
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: there that says, hey, there's a storm coming, like you
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: look out and go like there's no storm coming, look
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: at it. It's beautiful out here right now, and I mean
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: here she comes that radar. What a concept.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: Okay you ready, Yeah, let's just take let's just take
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: overall offensive grades and again my standard disclaimer on Sunday mornings.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: There may be some changing in this. These are early grades.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: They continue to watch upgrade change. Top two offensive highest
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: offensive graded players Clement and Garrett Green, as you would expect.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: But then you start rolling with some guys that did
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: the blocking. Wyatt Milam's third, Treylan Davis, had had a
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: good pass blocking day and had an elite run blocking day,
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: which that's that's what you need out there. Remac was
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: up there his sixth highest graded offensive player than Nick Malone.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: So he had three year linemen up there in your
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: top seven guys. Generally, that's pretty good.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: You know Whyatt Milam. I mean I mentioned earlier how
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: important this week off is. For Rest before he hurt
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: his foot, before he hurt his foot, like he had
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: a Fred Munster boot on his leg when he looks
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: like you remember Fred, Yeah, from the Munsters. Sure he
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: had those kind of like he had like those boots
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: that he was wearing. Right, he was already wrapped up night.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: I saw him several times in August where he got
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: dinged up. I think he's, you know, he's playing.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: He can use a week off.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: He could use a week he'd almost had like a
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: what he almost had like a walking boot on before
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: the game was even started, and so he probably needs
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: a ton of rehab.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: Put up an eighty eight point seven pass block fantastic.
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's just that's through the roof. You don't
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: get those numbers. Yeah, okay, what else.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: We haven't talked about? The two point conversion? That was
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: pretty cool. So I saw that when they practiced that
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: in August. And we have a text coming up second
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: year in a row in West Virginia's Big Twelve Conference
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: opening game that Trailing Ray has thrown a two point
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: conversion to Cole Taylor. It's like it's like the birds
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: coming back to Capistrano. It just it just happens on
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: an annual basis. I thought this. I thought Trailing Ray
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: did two things on that play of great interest. He
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: was incredibly deceptive because it did look like a run,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: and he was also incredibly patient because it almost he
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: almost waited too long by the time Cole Taylor got
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: that thing. It was in the as far as you
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: could go in that back corner of that end zone.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: He was open earlier.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: And what was wild is it felt like the play,
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: it felt like Ray was like in the fourth row
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: of the stands when he got the ball. That play
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: got almost all the way to the far left of
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: the field for it to end on the very far
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: right corner of the field. Right, he caught the ball
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: like on like the left hash and was running forever.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly right.
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: But put a nice spot. When you got a six
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: seven target, you throw it high and Taylor did a
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: great job. That wasn't a branch my end. That was
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: an elite receiver. Go up, get it toe tap two
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: point conversion.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: That was really good. Yeah, yeah, Tylon Ran can throw
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: a little bit. Great baseball player.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a really good baseball player, I thought.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Penalty wise, West Virginia three for.
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: Twenty, but except the only one in the first half
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: that you had was a massive one to another touchdown
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: off the board Brandon Yates. Yeah, took another one. Took
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: another one off the board in touch two and two
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: weeks that you've had holding penalties take touchdowns off the board,
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: and that one again, I don't think that was agreed
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: as agreedous as Milom and I and.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: They'll tell you. Because his left arm was out and around.
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: That's a tough one. There was not much of a hold,
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: but the left arm was out around. But that was
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: that was a matt There weren't many that one. That
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: one could have been tough.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: That was the Big Twelve's a crew. Kevin Maher was
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: the referee. That's their a crew. That's the crew that
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: worked the Big Twelve championship game line. It's pretty clean though, right,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: I mean they didn't.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: They didn't call many penalties, which which implies that it
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: was fairly called.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Andy Bipehold lost his mind on the interception on the
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: hospital end by Kobe Bryant because he felt that Bryant
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: got speared after he went down to the ground and
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: they didn't call it. He ran onto the field, lost
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: his loss. I had a good game yesterday. That was
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: a good pick. He just jumped around, jump in front.
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean that's fine, But they also missed at
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: least three holds on that final drive, So okay, we're
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: call good. What they didn't do they did not insert
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: themselves into the game, right. I thought the crew at
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: pitch absolutely inserted themselves into the game sometimes on wanted.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: So this was one of those you swallowed your whistle
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: on some holds.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Okay. They also were unhappy on the Kansas side because
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: on the late hit on Garrett on the late drive,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: he ran out of bounds, came back inbounds, ran out
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: of bounds and got hit correct. So they're saying, like,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: wait a second, he comes back onto the field to play,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: but they're saying, hey, he stepped out of bounds. Defenders
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: got to see that he's out of bounds. He's out
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: of bounds. You can't hit him again and then and there,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: and you didn't.
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: Nobody knew he had stepped out of bounduntil he looked
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: at the replay of that. So that's get out of here.
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: You can't complain about that. To your point, don't hit
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: the quarterback out of bounds. Of if there's anybody on
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: the field, you know, you shouldn't hit out of bounds.
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be your starting quarterbacks, so don't.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: Do it, you know, to your point, on Rodney Gallagher
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: to score your first career touchdown that way, right, So
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: that's an awesome memory. But to his credit, keep in mind,
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: he was out there a lot more because Preston Fox
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: was injured and he did not play defense because of that,
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: and also pac Man Fox. They used his sure hands
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: on to catch two of those punts late in the
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: game where he didn't have to run around too much.
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: So stop right there, think about what you're saying right now.
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: So they bring pac Man Fox in because he's got
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: great hands and he'll catch the ball, right, not totally
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: one hundred percent healthy, So you bring him into return
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: of punt because he's a good catcher. You're platooning at
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: the punt return position because you needed a big return.
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: You put Gallagher back. He returns. It were not many
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: years removed from when Dana's decision was to not put
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: a punt returner back, And as ridiculous as that decision was,
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: it was actually a really good decision. That's how bad
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: the punt return game was not too many years ago.
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: Now you're platooning guys back there. You don't win that
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: game without that nineteen yard return. It was huge.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: Happy for Rodney Gill right, happy for ding Well.
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: But he's a guy like of these guys you're talking about,
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: And again, guess what you can get better? Right, you're
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: allowed to acclimate to big time college football and find
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: your footing a little bit. We talked about him. He
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: hadn't played any receiver in high school. He'd played quarterback
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: out of need, right, so he comes in last year,
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: thrown right into the fire. This just in you're allowed
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: to improve, and he has. He's become more comfortable, he's
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: becoming much more of a weapon, a little bit little,
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: that's how it.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Works, yeah, day by day, all right. So West Virginia
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: wins it thirty two twenty eight, crossing over the magical
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: thirty point number. You go back and look at the stats,
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: you get to thirty. You got an incredibly tremendous opportunity
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: to win games over time and turnovers dead even two
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: to two is how it finished up. But the seal
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: came with the strip and recovery by h West Virginia's
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: Tyron Bradley, and that wrapped it up. So now you're
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: even up to and two with an off week and
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: then three ranked teams in a row facing the world
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: champion mountaineers. Oaks State at Oaks State, Iowa State here,
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: Kse State here. It's it's fun, it's fun, it's on
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: and you do have to get a lot better, you do.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: And that that's a tough trip to Oak State. But
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: they got some issues too, I mean, didn't Bowman get
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: benched yesterday?
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: Did he did he get sat down? Did I hear that?
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: And Ali Gordon hasn't you know, hasn't been Ali Gordon
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: start that?
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, don't bring that up yet. I mean, just
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: don't start that. Let me check on the bowman thing.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: Don't need what's he doing over there, tweaking Ali Gordon?
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, just let that dog lie. And last time
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: we was here, he ran all the way down to
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: Lewis County right at the back of the stadium, through
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: the hospital, got on the seventy nine and was the
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: last time we saw him. Tough stretch, tough league.
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: There's just a lot of these games, right Baylor Baylor
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: Colorado last night was back and forth, coin flip type
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: of game. That's what this league is. And again, it
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: makes it super fun. I think if I was watching nationally,
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: this is a league you turn into to watch some
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: of these games. But if you're the team in there
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: and you're trying to find wins each week, we said
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: at the beginning of the year, there was one game
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: on this schedule that you knew for sure you were
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: getting a win. Just one that's tough, Yeah.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: The Great Danes. Other than that, yeah, absolutely.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: Absolutely spreads on stats has been brought to us by
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: the Conley CPA group. Hey, you know what today is,
• 48:31

• 51:57
  Speaker 3: I wore one and it were very popular at the
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: at the till. Okay you guys ready, yeah, actual healing
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: Matt in Kaiser Mineral County checking in. Since the beginning
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: of last season, Garrett Green listen to this stat spreads
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: on stats here brat. Garrett Green has led West Virginia
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: on eleven two minute drives. That's defined by me as
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: a drive starting with between one minute and two minutes
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: and thirty left and a half. So he's had eleven
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: of those in the last two seasons. The team scored
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: touchdowns nine of the eleven times and got a field
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: goal in another. In those drives, Green has thrown for
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: four hundred and twenty six yards, run for two thirty
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: he averages fourteen yards per carry. I did this back
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: of a napkin research to ask you if West Virginia's
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: offense should consider always running a version of the two
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: minute drill. I know that comes with risks, but the
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: numbers speak for themselves. Those are really good numbers because
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: we talked about that yesterday that you just know that, right,
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: you know, watching him, that he's been able to do
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: that and have those that type of success. If those
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: numbers are right, Matt, I know you said you did
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: it quickly there. If those are right, that's unbelievable. That's
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: an unbelievable hit rate right there. You're challenged though, if
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: you go to that all the time, I mean, I
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: get it. You see that and you say, right, if
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: that's working, do it more. And I wouldn't be surprised
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: if you start to see that a little more, because
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: you got to turn Garrett loose, right, Neil's talked about
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: that a bunch. At some point he's just got to
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: turn him loose and let him make plays. And that's
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: part of where it does that. Now you run it
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: more often and certainly defenses have some more time to
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: prepare for it and be ready and have some answers
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: for you. But that's that's certainly effective when they've gone
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: to it.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So if you take a look at it, as
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: Brad says in as the writer of the text indicates,
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: there is some risks to that because you throw your
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: defense back out onto the field. If you don't have
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: a good drive, you're thrown your defense back out there.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: It could lead to problems. So what West Virginia is
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: doing is kind of a hybrid version of it. They'll
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: go fast in the middle of a drive, so they'll
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: play play play and then all of a sudden they'll
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: hit one and they'll turn it on right and then
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: they'll pull it back, turn it on pull up, but
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: your points will too.
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: And then hold the full package of it. In the
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: actual two minute situation, it's kind of like a pitcher
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: changing speeds right. As hard as you throw, you step
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: out and only throw gas. Eventually people adjust to you,
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: so they're trying to manage both help protect the defense
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: so you're not wearing your defense out, but also working
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: to the offense's.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: Advanced and also the defense has a role in that
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: as well the other team's defense. So they're saying, okay,
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: just keep everybody in front of you. Don't let them
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: get a big play. They can move down the field,
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: but they got to get a touchdown therefore, so there's
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: some of that too.
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: Sure. This next text came in and at face value,
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: it looked really super long and I said, I can't
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: read all this, but then I dug into it. And
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: this is a theme that Brad started on his stats.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: But this is Troy from Long Island right in you know,
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: Long Island, Hoppy Long Island, large expanse piece of land
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: in New York State. That is the genesis is glacial till.
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: That's really long. Yeah, it's all glacial tills. What created
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: Long Island? Good info, Well done.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Hey, three guys fascinated by how similar the
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: ending to this game was to last week's brawl. This
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: time it went in our favor. Seriously, he says, check
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: this out ready, Yeah, try to do this. Numbers are
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: hard to keep in your head, but we'll just do
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: it against Pitt. Nine play sixty eight yard drive by
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: West Virginia gives him a ten point lead under five
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: to go in the fourth quarter. Yesterday, six play fifty
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: four yard drive by Kansas puts them up eleven six
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: minutes to go in the fourth quarter. Pitt comes back
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: five place, seventy five yard touchdown drive one forty nine
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: off the clock cuts West Virginia's lead to three, three
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: minutes and six seconds to go. West Virginia Yesterday responds
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: nine play seventy five yard drive two minutes and twelve
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: seconds cuts Kansas to three with three twenty seven ago.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: This is pretty wild today. Next one, West Virginia has
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: a three and out, took one seven off the game clock,
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: gives Pit the ball back with two minutes to go
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: against Kansas. Kansas has its three and out. Sean Martin
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: comes with that uh behind the line, and now West
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: Virginia gets the ball back two minutes to go. Pit
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: responds six place seventy seven yard drive takes a four
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: point lead thirty two seconds to go. West Virginia responds
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: look seven place sixty seven yard drive to take a
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: four point lead with twenty six seconds to go. Six
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: second difference. Down four, West Virginia has a four play
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: twenty seven yard drive ends with an interception. Last week
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: against Kansas, down four, Kansas three play twenty seven yard drive,
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: exact same length of drive ends with a fumble. Anyway,
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: good win, great podcast, Right to Long Island.
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: Those are two really good texts to start. Those are
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: well thought out, well researched, fact based, excellent texts. Here's
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: the other thing. In each of those two games, it
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: involved a really effective scrambling quarterback. Yes, Holsting for pitt
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: Green for West Virginia, by the.
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: Way, and you just don't that is a great text
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: and you just don't see that. Okay, that doesn't happen.
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, how many games have you guys, how many
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: games have we all seen? You don't see that in
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: back to back games with that many similarities, doesn't happen.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: Ben in Chicago Rights. And oftentimes we do put information
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: out on this podcast, and we use the term unconfirmed,
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: so we do have people to try to confirm research
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: various things. Here's a confirmation, Ben in Chicago Rights. I
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: wanted to point out that the Kansas Jayhawks could have
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: taken a fleet of lou Wendell pontoon boats from Kansas
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: City down the Missouri River at Saint Louis, to turn
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: right onto the Mississippi, then turn left at Cairo, Illinois,
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: and head up the Ohio River, make a right in
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh at the Mond make your way down to Morgantown.
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: You would, however, have to navigate through twenty locks and dams. Unfortunately,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: there is a non navigable dam just west of Kansas City,
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: preventing the trip from beginning in law. So apparently this
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: confirms that Kansas did not take the boats. Here. I
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: thought we'd get it right. Yeah, but this is what
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: we do. Know that lou Wendyl Marine Sales is the
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: premiere pontoon boat dealer in the state of West Virginia.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: And if there is a waterway and it is a
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: clear passage, a lou Wendel boat will get you there.
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: Take a look at lou Wendelmarne Sales dot com. That's
• 58:24

• 58:28
  Speaker 1: our state. They sell the avalon boats made in Michigan.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: They're just terrific. And they've got those G three those
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: John boats. Anything you want to do on that thing.
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: You want to go duck hunting, you go duck hunting.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: On that you just want to go fishing, you go fishing.

  Speaker 1: in two thousand and five, growing up in Maryland. I
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: had my sights set on Frostburg or thousand to attend college.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, this team of less than athletic
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: but extremely skilled basketball players made an epic run, and
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: I started researching WVU and decided it was a fit
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: for me. Twenty years later, a wife and kid and
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: living life as a teacher in Morgantown, it really makes
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: you put it all into perspective. How different would my
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: life be if they did not make that run. Never
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: underestimate the power of sports. Thanks as always, Mad in Morgantown.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: Awesome is that amazed? I almost send up to John.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: That's a good one, you know what. I was thinking,
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: Tony at the event the other night. A bunch of
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: different things, but that's a great way to say that
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: about how and that team in particular just changed so
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: many lives in terms of it just makes you smile.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: You talk about that time, it just makes you smile.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: And they were replaying at the event the two thousand
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: and five video that Dan Lohman did which was amazing, tremendous,
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: then tremendous. Now Dan's excellent, and it was wild. Hop
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: I told you this story yesterday. You're sitting there watching that.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: You're watching Gansey with the big baggy shirt underneath the
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: jersey make a reverse layup or hit a three and Tony.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: You look over ten feet over here and there's Gansey
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: twenty years later sitting there's guys, a little girl on
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: his lap, or Patrick's hitting a shot and giving you
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: the airplane and there's two little kids sitting on Patrick's lap.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: It's remarkable just the passage of time what it does,
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: but how vivid those memories of those guys were, and
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: how you look at them. And there's Mike Gansey, the dad.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: But to me, he'll always be Mike Gansey. That absolutely
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: lit up Chris Paul and wake for us. Ye right,
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: I can remember that as if it happened yesterday. How
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: many hundreds of thousands of people have that same memory
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: of them fun team. So they had all of the
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: upper classmen of that team sitting at one table at
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: the front of the room and they put this so
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: we set the scene by saying, Hey, for all you
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: people here, you remember this team, but let's just kind
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: of bring it back into vivid memory. And we showed
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: ten minute highlight. It's on youtubees. By the way, I
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: think it stands the test of time unbelievably. Right. So
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: while they're showing that video, I wasn't looking. I was
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: kind of I wanted to go in the back. I
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: stood next to Ganzy's little kids. I wanted to see
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: what they reacted when they saw their deck because there's
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: still so little they still don't know what he did
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: or what he does and they're popping around. But then
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: my wife told me that she watched j D Collins
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: and she said he had a smile on his face
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: the entire ten minutes while that was on. Yeah, and
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: if you remember JD was not a big emotional guy, no,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: but like he's just sitting there and it was just
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: like all of those unbelievable things that they did. It's
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: it's just an absolute while.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: One last story on that, and I told this yesterday,
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: but I think I told you say off there. The
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 3: other neat part of that is that was as that
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 3: part ended and some folks left the event, that whole team,
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 3: that group got together and sat at a table and
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 3: Ben John Bline got up to talk, and you're looking
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 3: at that, and so here's these guys twenty years later
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 3: having a team meeting.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: It makes me laugh.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 3: They were listening to Bline as intently as if he
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 3: was given the Wake Forest scouting report twenty years not
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 3: a single eye looking anywhere else. I didn't see anybody
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 3: pick up a phone for the hour that they were there.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: They were all dialed in. And again he was so
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 3: particular about chemistry, right, and the chemistry of that group
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 3: is probably unmatched. It's hard to touch, it's hard to
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 3: feel chemistry, but that is so important, and that team
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 3: had it, still has it twenty years later, even though
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 3: they hadn't been together.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: So they John spoke to the current Mountaineer team and
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: the players spoke to the current Mountaineer team Friday afternoon.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: And the big theme that I was told that they
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: shared with them is that their team had success because
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: they were absolutely selfless. Yes, didn't matter who scored. We
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: just wanted to win. That's the only thing we wanted
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: to do is find a way to win. And hopefully
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: that will, you know, trickle on through Shawn and Florida
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: writes for all of us out of staters. Has there
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: been lightning in Morgantown every day in the last month
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: or just on game days?
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 3: The almost just on game days. The weird circumstance it
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 3: rained in months. I mean, what we need rain.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: We're in a serious drought situation.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: And when you finally get rain, it's from like three
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: to five on game day. I mean, you know you
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: don't want to there's a greater need here for the
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: rain in West Virginia. But boy, couldn't you pick like
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: another day then in another time.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: No, it has just a couple of hours later.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, can he be on sad day later or just whatever?
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: But Nathan from Chesterfield, who identifies as a CPA, writes
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: in because of the rain delay, I listened to Tony
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: while I was mowing the grass. When we scored that
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: final touchdown, I started sprinting and yelling throughout my yard.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: My hokey neighbors thought I had gotten into a yellow
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: jacket test. Never a doubt. Let's go Mountaineers. This is
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: interesting from Professor Vinnie, I introduced to you guys to
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: my favorite psychological concept. Basking in reflected glory of or
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: burging for short, burging for short okay, basking and reflected glory. Essentially,
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: it's when a person takes pride or gains self esteem
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: when their sports team wins, like saying we won after
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: West Virginia beat Kansas or we're tied for first in
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: the Big Twelve. It works the opposite as well, saying
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: they lost after the Penn State game or the Pit games.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: By disassociating they instead of we. After a loss, you
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: say face. It can be applied to other things, but
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: mainly it's been used in sports. I'm glad to see
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: I'm glad I get to engage in some burging for
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: a few days. We beat Kansas. Three guys. The players
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: made plays today. That's all the Texas said. Hey, three guys,
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: players made plays, Yes they did. You know that should
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: be a T shirt. Why isn't that a T shirt yet? Brad?
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: That should be a T shirt? Three words, players make plays.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: That'd be a great T shirt because you could use
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: it in so many different ways, not just sport. We'll
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: get on that, eferting, Wayne and Clarksburg Brett, I have
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: not had have not heard you mentioned? Why are r
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: Tony's Scooby doo index hote He came up big wonder
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: what his number is. Why r R is a good
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: stat The stat takes into account successful plays in yards gained,
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: but it penalizes for unsuccessful plays, in other words, a
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: poor route run, not getting separation, not getting targeted. How
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: are those numbers? Four games in Wayne Clarksburg.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: Really elite level listeners to this podcast, Thank you, Wayne,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: appreciate you bringing up why I are that that we've
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 3: talked about For a reason I hadn't brought it up
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 3: against because it confused the hell out of Tony. He
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 3: didn't know what I was talking about, and I got
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 3: fifteen questions. Couldn't tell the stat. But thank you Wayne
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 3: for asking. The answer is this.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: That was a very.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 3: Insightful question because I had this written down in the numbers.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 3: Tony tipped me off. Hoppy, Save it, Tony, I saved
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 3: it for right now. Great question. A three point nine
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 3: to five yards per route run yesterday. To put into context,
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 3: it's generally if you're over too that's really good. If
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 3: you're for two yards per route run, really good. Hudson
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 3: almost double that in yesterday's game. That was, believe it
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 3: or not, the third best mark of his career. He
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 3: had a couple last year that were more than that. Wowkay,
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 3: really good good, Thank you Wayne, thank you, thank you
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: for being a on top of that way West Virginia. Hay,

• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: text he Hey guys, Friday evening, I picked up a
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: great dinner at the food Court. Meatballs from the Wine
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: Bar were delicious. I just mention brisket from Rev cav
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: Awesome brownies from the Brownie House topped off the dinner.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: I even spotted a creature as elusive as the Mothman
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: in the form of Hoppy Kerchieval present. I appreciate your
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: podcast and the food Court. Great comeback win on Saturday, Texter,
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: first time on Textual Healing. Big fan of both shows,
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: dedicated listener. I was going to take off my autographed
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: hat that Tony signed. I always trade gear during games,
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: but I had a feeling I left the hat on.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Tony. Moving forward, you three knuckleheads, give me
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: an honest opinion about can this give the back end
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: of the defense motivation for the rest of the year.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: Still worried we'll be at the UC game since I
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: lived there. Last time I went to Paul Brown, we
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: broke the quarterback's leg.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 3: Not a good day, I think defense, I think you
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 3: just keep improving, right, You're just gonna have to keep
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 3: playing and get those reps again. We mentioned the defensive
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 3: line is showing some improvement getting pressure. We like that
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 3: grip linebackers. Neil likes that grip of linebackers. Right, Trotter,
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 3: get Carri go back from injury. I hope and assume
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 3: for the Oklahoma State game that will be a massive
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 3: help to that particular grip. Just keep getting better.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: Trotter was just just a force yesterday. Well yeah, so
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: here's Tony's obvious observation. And I say this a lot.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: If you're going to be a really really good player,
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: you're really really good when you're young, right, So you
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: I d now that's not to say a guy progressively
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: can't get better. But if you're going to be a
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: star stud, you're just good the first time you come out.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: Josiah Trotter as predicted by so many of the coaches.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: They said, this guy's going to be special. He now
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: has two double figure tackle games in his first four
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: college games, one against Kansas and one against Penn State.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah pretty good, right, Hey, guys up Austin and Ethan.
• 1:22:52

• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: On Friday, and Joid enjoyed meeting everybody visit. I popped
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: over there Friday at noon for lunch since it was
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: the first time we did lunch. Ren Baker was there,
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: got himself a beef tender. Light said, big, you're going
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: beef or you going sausage? He says, dude, whenever there's
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: beef ten one, you gotta go beef. Tawnler Ben Murray
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: was there from the department Kevin Barry.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 3: Ben loved his sandwich as well.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: He did runs the alumni. David Alloway, former Mountaineer, a
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: few members of the Mountaineer Foundation. Baseball coach Steve sabins,
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: He's put.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: A request that trailer and the food court.

  Speaker 3: He'd like the whole food court in a baseball game.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: We do that? Can we do that? We want? Yeah, effort,
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: got no rules. Dave says, more beer coming from Parkersburg Brewing.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: All right, there we go. Let's do a couple more
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: of these and then we gotta go.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 3: I can I give you one more spreads on stats
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 3: condy CPA group number real quick, just because you guys
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 3: brought it up about Trotter, I mentioned that stops category
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 3: right definition by PFF. It's a failure for the offense.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 3: So Trotter leads the team right now with sixteen stops. Okay,
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 3: so what's that mean? Okay, pretty good? Right, you're easilyading
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 3: the team. If he ended right now with sixteen stops,
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 3: that would rank in the top eight every year since
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 3: Neil has arrived, that would be in the top eight
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 3: defenders for West Virginia first the season. Well is the
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 3: guy making some plays early?
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: Wow? And he was out part of the game. He
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: was out part of the game yesterday. As one former
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: WUV assistant coach would say, he's a good player. We're good.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: He's a good player. Joe and Charleston. I can't remember
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: a program that's had more bad weather in the past
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: few seasons. I watched the first half today at the
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: local WVU bar, then got a full day at the
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: beach in then listen to the end of the game
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: on the radio. Thankfully, Mountaineer fans got something for their
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: nearly six hour investment. It's a good point because he
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: brings us up and I didn't think about this. We
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: talk about how much better it is to be two
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: and two than one and three, although you love to
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: be four. Now I get all that it's better to
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: be two and two than one and three.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: But besides that, if you lost and you were one
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: in three, that two hour delay would only further make
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: the pain of the loss.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: Almost undigestible. And the two hour delay now just kind
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: of goes goes away because you got the w But
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: that is true. If they had not won, that delay
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: would certainly have made things worse. And also, I understand
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: fans leaving. I get that that weather delay is hard
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: to stomach. However, how about those fans that stayed that
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: in the canal? Say I was there when they had
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: that dramatic comeback, is like all those who stayed for
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: the Louisville game game, Yeah, you're right, exactly.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 3: Right, Well, there were three hundred and twelve fans, Yeah,
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 3: stayed exactly. That's a great that's a great effort to
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 3: stand there in that concourse and gut through it for
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 3: two hours and then stick around for that game. That's
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 3: and I wouldn't blame anybody for not I get it,
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 3: But that's that's pretty impressive. Those folks that stayed, they
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 3: saw a good one.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: When they came back in spending the Department's money, I said,
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: like they should give everyone of those peoples certificate. Here's
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: five bucks, go get something. Thanks for staying Texter. Who
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: do you guys think had the biggest gut punch loss
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: in the conference yesterday? Kansas or Baylor? Boy both Baylor
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: got beat on a hail Mary that sent it, sent
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: it into overtime, and then Kansas. You know the Kansas
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: started Neither feels any good. How about Florida State just
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: got their first one, fourteen to nine over Cal. They
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: were on the verge bye by the way, Rich had
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: a big win, which Rich had not won a game.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: They were rowing three and Southern Miss the opponent and
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: a pounded Southern Miss.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 2: I think that's just checked the headline in the Kansas newspaper.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 2: That's a huge loss for Kansas. I mean demoralizing because
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: we know how you felt, how West Virginias felt after
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: the pit game, and this is them after that preseason
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 2: height all those seniors submit.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: I know I'll not be expressing sympathy. I'm just so much.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 3: Train back called this week asked how us Jim was
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 3: doing psychologically. Nobody cares so sorry, Mickey, Mickey, stand up
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 3: got big game?
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: Is this?
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 3: We got? Stand back up?
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: Brad is Uh, no sympathy. Yeah. See Brad is very
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: consistent on that one, like, never ever apologize for a win,
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: noop and give no sympathy. Nope, because they'll walk over
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: you in a heartbeat.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 3: Yep, they sit there, giggle left. They don't give you
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 3: a hand up or a call.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: Sorry.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 3: Sorry boys, figure it out one and three.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: I'll respect you, did say. I'll do respects Mickey from Huntington.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: You stated last week that we'll have a bunch of
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: close games. Teams with the lead in the last five
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: minutes need to change their strategy. Play to the strength
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: of your team, run your full offense. Clock stopping on
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: first downs plus the two minute time out favors the offense.
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: How many elite defenses do we have in the Big twelve.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: I'm glad to see Garrett get his mojo back, need
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: for Jaheim to get his confidence back. I really enjoy
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: your show, obviously w VU fans. You guys are but
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: balance with fair assessments, never mean spirited. We try not
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: to be mean spirited. Yeah, try not. My son is
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: in Germany for Octoberfest. He texted me after four hours
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: and three liters of beer when the crowd was singing
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: country roads. Always a connection there he is. He looks
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: like Jeff from Sandyville. Oh boy, four hours in and
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: three leaders of beer. Those are big mugs now they
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: serve in connection three oh four there in those.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 3: Octo to make it what he's drinking much our distributions.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 3: If you can get over to Germany for october Fest.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: I'd like to do a pontoon boat get it over there.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: I would like to do that, but I probably never
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: will be able to what do Octoberfest? Yeah, well that's
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: because it's you know, football season, right. I guess you'd
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: have to like super plan that out and do it
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: on an off week and just kind of run over
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: and do it. You could.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: He probably run over to Germany. Yeah, well you can
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: leave this now, zip over to Germany.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 3: That'd give us. I was in Germany on Monday, Switzerland
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 3: on Thursday. I had a rough moment on Molly on Saturday, REFERENCE.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: Had a rough time there and Brad was right in
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: front of me. On Friday, I had to apologize to
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: Joe Herber reason last time he was in. I said,
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: we'll get you some gear. No, no, no, it was
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: one that was on the podcast. On podcast, I said, hey,
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: I'll get you some mountaineer gear, and then I never
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: sent it over. Imagine that. So Brad was standing right
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: next to me and I said, dude, I said, here's
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: my phone, put your address in right now. I promise
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: you that I'm going to get your gear.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 3: So he didn't get it done. Made Joe do the work.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 3: So you got taken care of going. Yeah, it's going
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 3: to go out this week. Off week, I'm going to
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 3: do it this week. I'm going to go to the
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 3: post office say send us to Germany where Joe just
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 3: find Harber Andrew and Little Rock by way of Parkersburg.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 3: A lot of parallels are being made between this game
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 3: and whatever happened last week, but for me, this game
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 3: felt like Houston Redemption, very eerily similar, especially with all
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 3: the freak injuries.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: Well, it was a stretch there.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 2: We talked about the injuries, but I mean a stretch
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 2: where it happened back to back.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: It was bad, bad been from Ohio. We won the
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: game because Garrett was the best player on the field.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: The two picks understandable. The second one probably would have
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: been a sixty yard touchdown if he had half a
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: second more to get it off right and Huddy may
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: have been the second best skill player on the field.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: He beat that All American corner like a drum all
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: day long. I'm glad I waited out the weather. Yeah.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 3: Sorry, that second pick is right. I couldn't. It was
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 3: hard to tell if it was an actual hit that
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 3: caused it to come short or if he just couldn't
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 3: fully step in. The defender was right there and Ray
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 3: had beaten the defense. If he had another just half
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 3: a second, You're right, that turns into a big play,
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 3: sixty yard touchdown.
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 2: That was just defender did help. Unfortunately it goes down
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 2: as a pick. But the other part of that is
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 2: a guy hanging.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 3: In there with a coming with a dude barreling down
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 3: on him. Yeah, he just needed a little more room
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 3: to be able to get that arm through.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: Last one Charlie from mid Lothian. As I was getting
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: into the elevator today to go to our room at
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: a Virginia Beach hotel during the weather delay, I saw
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: a family approaching. The gentleman was wearing a West Virginia hat.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: I commented, not looking good. He for lonely replied, I know,
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: glad we were wrong, and did do you see by
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: the way Rotgers beat Virginia Tech. Yes they did. I
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: was a heartbreaker for them too. The Fighting Fighting Chianos
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: lined up went into Blacksburg beating.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: Really yeah, man, we done, Thanks very much.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: If you stuck it out, that's a long shot.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 3: And how long was it?
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: Over ninety minutes? We had a weather delay in the
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: middle of that storming in hearing. All right, we're back
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: on Thursday to preview the bye week. I didn't. Yeah,
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: Brad will have stats ready for that. Into a basketball
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: practice starts this week. Did you know that it starts?
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: Does it? I mean, it really formally starts. It'll look
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: the same the old October the fifteenth day.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 3: Is now whatever and July third, I.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: Think is it October seventeen Mountaineers played the first game
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 1: What October seventeen or twenty two? Yeah, against the Fighting
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: James longs.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 3: That's in October.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: It's in October. Oh yeah, that's in October. Seriously said that?
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean a game game, no exhibition, exhibition, exhibition,
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 2: but that will be fun.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 3: James Long, the Fighting James Long's former Mountaineer. Wow, remember
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 3: Western Tech coach coming up?
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: Can we go? Yeah? Oh yeaheah, as this.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 3: Is a super secret one. He wouldn't have been able
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 3: to say because he would have got nailed by the
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 3: NCAA four years probation, would have disbanded, programmed, couldn't say it.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: Feds would have come in, taken away his car keys.
