• 4:21
  Speaker 1: entirely different than it used to like fifty years ago,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: when Hoppy was a student here as a freshman.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Like you, I transferred in you did portal?
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Did you in the portal?
• 4:34

• 4:43
  Speaker 1: his hometown. Did you where'd you live when you were
• 4:45

• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I lived at home. Not commuted how far? Eight miles?
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Nine miles? Okay?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: And then they asked you to leave or you decided?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Did you what was it?
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: No, I wasn't asked to leave. I like Shepherd.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I liked it, but they didn't have a broadcast journalism program.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: It took a year to figure that out. You think
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: maybe when you were high school senior you might have
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: asked that question.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Probably a good point.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: But so you had codified that you wanted to be
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: a radio broadcaster.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Well, no, it took you don't want to get into
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: all that, but I mean it took a all right,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you the story.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Do you want to know the story?
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we got time.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Okay, So.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: When was it?
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: So? I wanted to be a radio disc jockey. That's
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: what I wanted to be. I've told you this story.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I never knew the disc jockey part.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I So I was going to Sheppard and
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I got a job at the local radio station WXVWZFM
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: as a disc jockey.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: And I showed up.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: There was a night shift, and I showed up, and
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I'm still in school college And I showed up for
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: the first shift and the guy handed me a folder,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: a Manila folder, and.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Had some phone numbers on there. Police department, fire department,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: prosecuting attorney.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: I said, what's this? He says, you're also the news director.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I said, say what now, excuse me, excuse me? And
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: I said, what do you mean? He said, you called
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: him up and see if anything happened. So I said,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: I'm not a newsguy. I'm a disc jockey. What are
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: you talking about? But then I did it, you know,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: my job. And then I got interested in it.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: How about that? And I didn't know that, Yeah.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Didn't know, and so I and I thought, this is
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: interesting stuff happens, you know, fires, pestilence, violence, court cases
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: give the pestilence. And so I got interested. And I
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: was already a student shepherd, but I thought, I'm going
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: to be a broadcast journalist.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: And then I had a friend at WVU, and I
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: came up and visited, and you know rest his history was.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Woody O'Hara working at that station at that time.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: No, wood he worked previously at that stage he had
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: been but wood he had already come to Morgantown, so.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: He was in Morgantown by Well, I'll tell you what
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I missed, the fact that you didn't become a disc jockey,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: because I would certainly tune into those energetic and effervescents
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: shows that you would host when you, Brad, I.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: Think you would have been a fine disc jockey had
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: he started that way, thank you.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: He would have been a classic rock jock. His energy
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: would have been like right, now, here's another one.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Man. Did your career shape your personality or vice versa?
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Oh that's a great question.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: That's a good question.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Oh well, I'll tell you this. You know, my my wife,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: who knows me better than anybody. I said one time
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: to her, I said, I always thought I was I
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: was fun loving, and she said, how could you possibly
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: think that? I think, you know, I think that the
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: news found me. Yeah, you know, I think I was
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: suited for it. But Brad, you know, things kind of find.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: You, you know, and I think that's what happened.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Like like we often say, you never know where we're
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: going to go on this show. But I didn't know
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: that was great stuff there. Didn't know that you can
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: start rolling the very Can we start the tape now?
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: All right? So, as I said, classes start Wednesday, which
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: means something different than it used to mean, which means
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: you don't necessarily like they've started, but you don't go
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: right what well? I mean online courses, like what's that mean,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: now like you walk out of your bedroom and now
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: you put your feet on your coffee table and put
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: you open your computer and take you to class. They
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: really don't the football players. No, I'm just saying the
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: student body as a whole. I ask kids all the time, well,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: how many how many classes you're taking? Five? How many
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: do you actually go into a room? And they'll go
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: like one? Really?
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah?
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Two? How do you think the football team practices every
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: day at ten am and during the during summer. I
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: understand that that's because online classes.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Well, I'd rather be in closes.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I probably me too, with the situation I
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: have with concentration. Yes, as you guys attacked me before
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the show started today, rightfully so, but I remembered that
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: you guys say I never listened.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Remember that's right, he did, remember, right.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: There are things I'll remember when I want to. Anyway, Brad,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: did you enjoy the college experience?
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Well, I had a great time in college.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you were an athlete, so I had
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: a great time.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: So Saturday passed, Mountaineers scrimmaged afternoon scrimmage right at the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: time that they'll kick it off against the Nitney's noon.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Actually it was one o'clock, but in that same range,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: and they went long, they went, They went hundred plays,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: they went about three hours. I mean it was late,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: it got on. And that's the last time that they
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: will do that as far as the full scrimmage deal,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: until they actually play a single game. So this week
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: they do what's called a mock game, but it's not
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: really it doesn't. It sounds a lot neaterer than it
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: really is. All the mock game is is like we
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: run out of the tunnel, here, we line up for
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: our warm up, here, will go here, and then they
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: pretend okay, now it's had taf time. Now they do
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. But then they just use the young
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: guys on the team to actually do the workout and
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: scrimmage and stuff like that plays. And so that's the
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: last time. So those that accorded themselves well in the
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: first two scrimmages, now they've paired that list down and
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: now they know who their ones, their two's, and their
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: threes are, and they also know the guys that need
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: more development, which are now going to be put into
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the developmental group. The developmental group works out a completely
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: different way than the regulars. So the developmental guys continue
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: to do a lot of weightlifting and a lot of
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: skill development and all those kinds of things, and they
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: still go to practice and they do that, but they're
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: doing other things where the guys that are going to
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: be in there playing on Saturdays are getting themselves up there.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Brad Neil Brown talked about the importance of that because
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: at some point you gotta have you got to have
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: a list, and you got to have you know who
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: your ones are, you know probably who your twos are,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: but you got to have who can the way he phrases,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: who can you count on?
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: I think they'll have a good idea now. I think
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: for the most part they've got that down mm hmm,
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: right as much as you can during practice. Now it's
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: going to depend on on game time and who wants
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: to make plays when the games come.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I think the word, the key word now is trust.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: When they go back and watch that tape, can we
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: trust this player in the game against Penn State, against
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the team? Can we trust him? Or is he going
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to just go totally on his own little wavelength and
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: blow a coverage and all of a sudden you have
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: a missed assignment and there's celebration for the other team.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Those guys have all been weeded out.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Can't trust him, can't trust this guy, can't trust this guy.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. They're going to get there, but not yet.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: We can trust this guy and this guy and this guy,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and that's who we're gonna now tweak and get them
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: ready to go. Yeah, you wait for guys to You
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: wait for guys to establish themselves. And so I think
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: when you're watching a scrimmage, you wait for a play
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: to happen. And I watched the scrimmage Saturday among a
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: group of guys. One of them was former Mountain near
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: great Under Johnson and so third leading rusher all time
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: when he left here at WVU. So he knows, right,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: he sees things. He'll just go like, okay, so his
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: his who that is? Who's that? Who's that? Who's that was?
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Day Day Farmer is? Who's that was Day Day Farmer?
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: He like, Tony, who's that? I said, he's one of
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: your guys. I say, hes a Florida guy, Melbourne, Florida.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: He's zig zags. He just has something that is so
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: lightning like and natural in a evading people. You just
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: you can't. You can't coach it.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Goggle Tavon in him.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean again, put it all in the context.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Don't don't go running out there and extra extra read
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: all about it. But he's got that, He's got that
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: inherent twitch, that shoulder quickness, that spin. Now he's light,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: he's light, one hundred and sixty pounds ish and so
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: in young and young and young. So I think we
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: always have to remember that, right. We did this last
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: year with Rodney Gallagher coming in and Treylon Ray coming
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: in and eventually Hudson Clement coming in, that you're the
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: numbers that you put up as a freshman are going
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: to be down from what you expect.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: You're looking for moments within there, right, And I think
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: that's what we were able to do last year with
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: all those guys I just mentioned, there were enough moments
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: that you went, Okay, just wait till those guys grow
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: up a little bit and get into this year. That's
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: with Farmer now mixed into a group with a lot
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: more veterans. So that's part of why we keep saying
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: there should be some weapons here. There should be a
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: lot of playmakers here. The guys last year that we
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: know about mixed in with a day day for yeah.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: So you know, in a perfect world, you know, a
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: couple two, three times a game, he gets the ball
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: in his hands and does a little twitchy twitchy. That'd
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: be all right if he could do that two or
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: three times again. He's not going to you're going to
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: pump the ball to because there are certain things that
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: they can't do with him out there, right, Like he's
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: not going to go downfield and necessarily be an outstanding
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: blocker just yet. So that takes away a lot of
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: what you can do when he's on the field.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: But that's the depth though, that we keep talking about, right,
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: is this program seems to have gotten the ship righted
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: from all the chaos of the transfer portal. Neil Brown
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: and company seem to understand the mechanics of that right,
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: and their scouting seems to be right in line, and
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: they've got the nil piece. And now just take that
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: slot position with a Gallagher and Farmer, where two or
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: three years ago you were looking for a playmaker. Now
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: that's one specific position where you feel like you got
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: two twitchy, really athletic dudes, right. Never mind the outside receiver,
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: never mind the running back position. Never mind the quarterback position.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: You start to go down that list and there's multiple
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: playmakers at each of those spots.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I think, right yes, Neil said after the scrimmage on Saturday,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: to no surprise to us because we were first on
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: this pac Man Fox has just had a fantastic camp,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: like every time they've gone out there, whether it's practice
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: drills or whether in these scrimmage situations, Like at some
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: point he's just gonna go make catches, makes hard catches.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: He makes those catches with that balls coming in about
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: seventy seven miles an hour, like about right here, and
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: he finds a way covered and finds a way to
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: bring that ball down. So he's had a really.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: Good one and then that fun that's part of the
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: fun speculation. I think this time of year is so
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: take a guy like Fox is, who will the defense
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: kind of forget about? Receiver wise? Right, You're gonna try
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: and take somebody away. Who emerges is that that guy
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: the defense has to take away? And then you're left
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: with three or four different guys that you feel like
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: can still make plays that kind of are under the radar. Right,
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: Preston Fox seems like a guy that should be able
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: to make some play, should get open quiet bit this year.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: He'll be fun to watch.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Hudson Clement from out your neck of the woods, out
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: in that panhandle. He's solidified himself not only as obviously
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: a huge target, but also is the kick return dude,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: and that will be obviously something that's a key key
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: component of every season. But to have a guy back there,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: provided you get a dog on opportunity, I mean, how
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: many weeks do we just sit there and go like this,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: here's the kick and they'll take it out to the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: twenty five yard line. I mean, if you just get
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: some opportunities, I think he could be really good.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: How many return opportunities were there last time? Looking real quick?
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Not a ton Okay, what do you think the number is?
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: Sitting an over under? But go ahead and guess on
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: the number of returns using PFF as the as the
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: number here less than twenty. Wait a minute, the number
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: of total kickoff returns by WVU. Tony's in the house
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: at under twenty.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: You're saying under twenty. Let me think a second. Twenty
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: twenty two.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: He's taking plus twenty is what he's doing.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll take plus twenty under.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: Two you played the price a right like prices right,
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: you went over. I went over in order to see
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: if you were closer. You're both right around it. Nineteen
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: call you.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Not many think about that, folks, nineteen times the entire seaton.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: You practice your backside off every day in some form
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: to get ready for kick return nineteen chances the entire season,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: so hopefully you get more.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: How many punt returns you think there were? Oh?
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Goodness, returns return not fair catches.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: No fair catches count in the return number. I'm going
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: to give you.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Fair catches count.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, fair catches count fair catches like a fair catch counts?
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: No, sorry, sorry, just returns, just return.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Yes, So you play thirteen games, I say less than
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: I say to a game. I'd say just a little
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: bit under twenty four when.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: You're doing good with numbers to hoppy twenty one, yeah,
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: twenty two, twenty fair catch.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Hey, don't bait me on my numbers. Do you know
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: what I established? Lies? And you just run around sniffing.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Well, you went first. If you hadn't gone first, i'd
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: have said a number, but you jumped in there.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah again, did Beanie have two last year? Though? I
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: only remember the one in the bowl game that he
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: took to the house.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I think there in the bowl game he had too.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: Oh, he have two in the BWL game.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he had two returns in the bowl game.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so twenty two.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of Beanie places with the Pittsburgh Steelers football club. Now,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: how about our guy, Zach Fraser. Injury to the competitor
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: that does Zach had in front of him and got
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: a shoulder situation. So Zach, welcome to professional football. You're
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: the starting center for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Well you knew he was going to at some point, right,
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, we know Zach Fraser.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: What's a funny point? Yeah, what's funny is just a
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: little sooner maybe than some thought. Everything you hear from
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: his teammates about him is exactly what was being and said.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right, like Russell Wilson said, some said some positive things.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Says like feels like he knows that he calls coverage.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: It he calls changes, changes fronts before I do. Right,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: So it's like, okay, that's working all right.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: So guys looking up his numbers, he had an eighty
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: two pass block grade from the game Saturday.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Very good.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: Really did Yeah, Okay, go ahead.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Tomlin's beautiful too, because, like I said last week, how
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: they talked about him, like Fraser did some good things,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: some things we need to work on. So pro right,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: it's just like it's so so what it is? All right?
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: So with all of that being said, now you begin
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: to focus This week. Thursday starts the preparation for Penn State,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: and there's coming up a little bit later on in
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: our texts. Uh, we'll get into it. But what the
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: anticipation level is for this game? First visit since nineteen
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: ninety two by the Nitney Lions. So think about that. Man,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: it's been like thirty thirty two years plus years, right,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: thirty two years since they've been here, and what will
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: that be?
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Everyone knows that when it's a true night game, there's
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: just this like buzz of electricity. Can you get that
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: at noon?
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I think so too. Yes, I think so too. And
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I think if one other thing happens between now and
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: game day, it'll take it up to another level. What
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: excuse me?
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: Do you have a specific one thing in mind?
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: What if West Virginia's fans hears something out of the
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Penn State camp in preparation for this game, that'll just
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: kind of like just a little bit of a little
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: lighter fluid onto the flame, like the flame's already like
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: it's a nice little flame. But if James Franklin goes
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: up there and says something next week during his prep
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: conference for this game that that is construed in any way,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: shape or form as being disrespectful or condescending or anything,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: then the flyer is gonna be like like blazing fire.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Or even if it could possibly be construed you what, yeah, exactly, we're.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Gonna You're gonna leave early to come down here. Why
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: you don't think so.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be like one of these like if someone
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: gets planted into the end of the crowd there at
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: this press conference, it gives like coach last year against
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: West Virginia had the game in hand and you scored
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: that late touchdown, like one of those things, and he
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: gives like some kind of a you know, like a
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: little short answer or something like that, and people then
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: I think, then I think people come down the interstate
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: right with their torches are like a march.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Then I'm I agree with Brad. I think that I
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: think the crowd will be will be really into it.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: So Brad.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: When the crowd is there and the crowd is into
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: it and the game started, what do you need from
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: the Mountaineers?
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: Start fast to be nice, start fast to be nice,
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: give them something to go bonkers. But I do think, guys,
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: I think that week you're gonna feel it. I think
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: it's going to start early. Monday is Tuesday. It's gonna
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: start going next week, and then it's gonna ramp And
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: by the time we get to Friday, if you go
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: by where the food court's going to be out there,
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: there will be already traffic lined up most of the
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: day Friday going by there. Well, I think this is bonkers.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: Remember that game against Virginia Tech a couple of years
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: ago was a noon star that was chaos and loud,
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: and that wasn't even the first game of the season.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: I think that ramps it up even more. And you
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: add in a West Virginia team with expectations around it.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: People are excited about this team, in the program where
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: it's headed, I think it will be absolutely bonkers.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good setup, right. I mean, you're in Morgantown and
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: you're being told that you can't win, You're being told
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: you're an underdog, by as many as ten points. We
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: digit underdog, right, and so like it's a perfect it's
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: that perfect. Oh yeah, setup home Dog. So we'll see,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: we'll see how that. By the way, I mean, such
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: a big game or food court instead of opening on
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: a Friday, is going to open up on Wednesday?
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: Is that confirmed yet? Skis?

  Speaker 4: Go ahead, well, I said, he should be getting some
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: more Heisman love. It's outrageous that he's not. Right, you
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: look at the numbers, I said, So I'm going to

  Speaker 4: get blasted for this, but let's start the Heisman campaign

  Speaker 4: the assessment. Would you look at that? That's a top
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: ten Heisman candidates list from PFF College hobby.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: I know the writing's kind of small there, but the
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: logo is always recognizable. Can you go down there to
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: the list and who's that? Who's that there on that list?
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: That's Garrett Green?
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Huh gee? Square Green on that list? Yea.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: Even the DraftKings right now has him fifty sixth in
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: the Heisman odds.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: His boy Jackson Dart's number four on that list. He
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: spent time with Jackson Dart this summer. Now the Manning camp,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: he says he is a great dude. Really says a
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: great dude.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: It's getting a lot of love.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll throw it a little bit. I'll throw a bit.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: He's the fourth lowest odds at DraftKings two for six eight,
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: coming in the lowest odds for a big twelve quarterback.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: Avery Johnson at Kansas State highly touted.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: I thought they already gave the Heisman to Will Thompson.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: No, Will Howard, Will Howard, Yeah, Will Will Howard.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: Who didn't you get the Heisman?
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: Might not have started this year because of Avery Johnson.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: But he transfers to Ohio State, gets a nice chunk
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: of money. He's sixth right now, A found that interesting.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: Garrett tenth. Pro Football Focus told you they love the Mountaineers.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: He's our guy.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: Pro Football Focus is only one of the few I've
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: seen that has Westernian rank two. They have them twenty
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: fifth in their poll. Some more Garrett numbers. Yes, he
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: led the country last year highest among all Power five
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: quarterbacks in average depth of depth of target thirteen and
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: a half yards. Talked about his ability to throw the
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: ball downfield and how much they like to throw the
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: ball downfield thirteen and a half yards average depth of
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: target a dot Hobby led the nation in an avoiding
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: sacks as well. Also not a surprise, right, really good
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: offensive line up front. When he saw pressure, got around it.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: Heisman campaign started officially last Thursday, picking up steam. I'm
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: with you plus very pick.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Is that fair?
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: Yesick?
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Well, you know what you want.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: We talk about this a lot. Is you want opportunities
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: in the Penn State games. An opportunity, you know, noon,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: a noon kick. You're not FA, You're you're not fab.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: You know, ten twelve points, whatever it's going to be.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: But if you do win, if you do win, you're
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: going to be a story. Eric Green threw for three
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: hundred fifty yards and the Mountaineers upset Penn State by
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: a final of thirty four to twenty six, twenty seven.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: You'll be in that, You'll be part of the national
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: narrative that day.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: You're right, super challenging game. Obviously, they're bringing back a
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: ton of defensive guys again, offense talent alor those running
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: backs that I mean, they're they're loaded again. There's a
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: reason they're a top eight by almost every metric, top
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: nine certainly, But boy, you do have an opportunity there
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: with the nation watching.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: There is no tack of an opportunity. There is no
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: better game to win or to play. Then, when you're
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: at home in a noon game on a Saturday, you
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: become the story all day long, all night long, and
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: then it creeps into the next day. So as far
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: as program opportunity and what it could mean to the
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: program and the program's brand, you couldn't script this any better.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: The stakes are high, like you're not you're not expected
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: to win. But as you say, if you win, it's
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: a big story. If you lose, it's not a big surprise.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: But now you still have pressure there because you lost
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: the game, and then you have Pitt in two weeks.
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what's interesting to think about the narratives there.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: A West Virginia win will cause some massive overreaction in
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: the marketplace, won't it. Yes, May they'll be screaming for
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: James Franklin's jobs. They'll be going Bananaz Garrett probably will
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: become a legitimate Heisman candidate because if West Virginia wins,
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: he will have gone bananas. Same with some of those
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: other offensive skill guys. Yeah, a West Virginia loss but
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: plays well isn't a death knell for the season. It
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: still sets you up, but it's one of those where
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: you do have a golden opportunity if you can catch
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: some breaks and go in there and pull one off. Challenge,
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: super big challenge, super fun, some other numbers around some
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: certain players. Yeah, tackle Wyatt milem Fotball Focus eleven on
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: him has him as a top five offensive tackle. Of course,
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: entering the twenty twenty four season, he was second last
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: year among FBS tackles in past blocking grade on true
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: pass sets. So there's a reason why he's getting some
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: first round love as we head into this season. Wyatt Mile,
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: I'm not surprised there. Aubrey Berks talked about what an
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: off season retention piece he was. How great that was
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: for this staff to be able to hold onto Aubrey
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: Burks for him to come back to WU. He has
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: the second best overall coverage grade per PFF among returning
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: Power five safeties over the last two seasons or Power
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: four safeties. Now it's pretty good, hop Yeah, second best
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: overall coverage grade over the last two seasons. Pro Football
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: Focus has him rated as a top ten safety in
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: college football. And then go to Jahim White fourteenth best
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: run grade nationally last season. How about that for a
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: true freshman. Fourteenth best run grade nationally. That's among players
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: with at least one hundred snaps. That was second in
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: the Big twelve last year. It's second in the Big
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: twelve this year. As far as returning guys, TODJ. Brooks
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: was number one obviously had a great season almost fifteen
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: hundred yards rushing, but Jaheim right in that company as well,
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: So a chance for him to make a giant statement
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: coming up next Saturday as well.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Two new coordinators at Penn State this year, one familiar
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: to the WVU staff. Kansas's OC moves to Penn State
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: advantage for Jordan Leslie and the rest of that staff
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: having had deal with him before.
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: It's a great question and we'll spend a lot of
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: time on this next week because I think this is fascinating.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: Penn State coming in with two new coordinators. Defensive cordators
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: Tom Allen Indiana head coach for a while, but Cotal Nicky,
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: Andy Kotelnicki coming in on the offensive side changes things
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: a lot. You're right, you've got some tape on what
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: that offense wanted to do. But what he did with
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: Jalen Daniels and being at Kansas isn't exactly the same
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: type of quarterback as Drew Aller. But here's one point
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: to talk about now, is this is this summer missdirection
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: is this legit? But there's some talk that they want
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: to run the ball a little bit more. Now, certainly
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: he's not going to turn into a running quarterback. But
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: remember that was part of the criticism of Alor last
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: year that it was just drop back. You knew where
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: he was and you could come get him a little bit.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: Does cotal Nikki run him enough just to keep you
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: off balance? That's where he was so good at Kansas.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: Much like West Virginia last year, all that motion and
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: movement makes it really difficult to know what's coming. Then
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: you put those pieces in there, and with their great
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: running backs, they're still going to have a good offensive line.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: All they're replacing some full time starters. I'm fascinated to
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: watch what this offense looks like with intycotal Nicky coming here,
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: because I think that could be a huge boost to
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: Penn State.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Here they say they being Penn State, feel totally comfortable
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: story today. As a matter of fact, totally comfortable with
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: eight man rotation on their offensive line. So we got
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: two tackles, we've got two guard. You know, we got
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: extra guard, extra center, ex attack.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: We got eight guys, a lot like West Virginia. They
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: have guys that didn't necessarily start last year but played
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: a ton of snaps. They feel like they can just
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: plug and play with some guys up front. But I
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: just think, what do they want to do play calling?
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: And how much do they not only want to on
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: veil but are able to unveil in Week one with
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: him right, that was a group last year that didn't
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: feel it needed to unveil a ton of things to
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: get West Virginia last year and played it pretty vanilla.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: They did that again. They try and show some stuff,
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: they want to try and work on some stuff. How
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: out of sink are they? Are they out of sink
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: at all? Do they rely more on that running game
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: that West Rdin did a pretty good job at stopping
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: last year, slowing down at least hard to stop those
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: two guys. But they threw it a lot last year,
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: three hundred plus four aler throwing the football. How does
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: that change? I think that's part of the equation that
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: comes into this is some of the criticisms that that
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: Penn State offense got last year. I don't know that
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: those still exist given the creativity that's going to come
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: with this offense this year.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Haven't checked this out yet or not not sure how
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Penn State's getting into Morgantown. I'll look into it later
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: this week. Possibility they could bote down and if they do,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: they'll come in from lou Wendell Marine Sales. They'll provide
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: the transportation lou Wendel Marine Sales. Not only Premierre po
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: boat here, I mean the number one pontoon boat dealer.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: You know, we talk about PFF rank and things like
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: that this time of year, like who's why.
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: They're the number one grade?
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Well I knew no this, I mean all kidding aside,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: they're the number one pontoon boat dealer in the state
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: of West Virginia. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, they also
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: have those G three John's ooh Gator tough John Series durability, dependability,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: and value. You can fish off those bad boys all
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: day long. There's a three guys listener probably fishing off
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: that G three right now and fishing get any where
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: you want to go. Those are nice.
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: I like those. You head off the front of that too.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: You can do whatever you want it there. I mean,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: look at it, got a good angle. He's don't get
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: a hit, he's getting a hip stretch and catching a
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: small mouth all the same time.
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: Now, you haven't confirmed that about the Penn State team.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Of course we're looking at that to it. I think
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: someone told I think someone told me that. Check them
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: out at lou Wendelmarine Sales dot com. That's Lou Wendelmarne
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Sales dot com. Speaking of water Hopail was listening to
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: your show earlier today. Yes, holy hell, tug Fork thirteen
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: thousand tires? Are you kidding me? The brad took thirteen
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: thousand tires out.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: Of the river. Excuse me.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: The tug Fork River is in southern West Virginia, starts
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: in the Appalachians and then goes northwest and empties I
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: think into the Big Sandy. But it's along in the
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: West Virginia Virginia border, West Virginia Kentucky border. And for
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: years it was a dumping ground for tires, for old tires,
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: and the tug Fork Friends of the tug Fork get
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: together every year and they go in and they get
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: pulled the old tires out of the river. And this
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: they did it again last week and they got on
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: a couple hundred tires out and they have since they've
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: been doing it. I don't know how many years they've
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: they've pulled thirteen thousand tires out of the tug Fork
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: River thirteen thousand times.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Can I ask you a question?
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: Can we stop dumping them in there? Why are they dumping?
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: And I ask what was the genesis? Like who had
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: the brainstorm one day and go like let's put tires
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: in the river? Like where did that? What was the genesis?
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Can't you do?
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: They need to go? How's that work?
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, sadly, look, Tony, you've been West Virginia long enough.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: You've traveled enough to know that that there was a
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: time and still is in some places where people just
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: dump stuff over the side of the hill, old cars,
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: wash machines, refrigerators.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Trash, he'll program right, fires.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I guess we could find out what the
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: genesis was of that.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: But the point is that they'vem on the ground.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: I mean give me that that community has and some
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: of them may have washed in there from floods and
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: there's signs of things, but that community has pulled together and.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: Does a good job on it. All right, good deal,
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: Thanks for listening to my Oh yeah, public affairs to.

• 38:55
  Speaker 1: dot com. We start off Textual Healing Today with Derek
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: and Oregon. That's a way up. I was listening to
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: you guys jacking around while reading the sponsor copy a
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: couple of episodes ago, and it made me realize that
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: this is the only podcast of all the podcasts that
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: i'd listen to that I don't automatically skip the ads
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: while listening. On other shows, it's easy to skip because
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: they cut away to pre recorded ads. But since Tony
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: actually reads the copy live and you all buffoon around
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: while doing it, I listen just not to miss any jokes.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: I thought i'd mention it because you guys should be
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: charging a premium for advertising that actually makes the listener
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: pay attention.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: Amen, brother, here we go.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: I never I've never bought a pontoon boat, but after
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: a couple of years, I sure know a lot about
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: lou Wendell and I don't have any need for one
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: more phone line, but I sure know who i'd call
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: if I did. Anyway, I don't know if i'm a
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: representative sample, but I thought i'd let you know for
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: the next time you're negotiating advertising. Right started started by
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Derek in Oregon.
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: Thank you Derek, say that please.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Well be passed along as we celebrate Oh that might
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: be this week our seventh anniversary of our first episode.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Really super quick. When we didn't have any sponsors when
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: we started seven years ago, I said, I want to
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: do a test, and I said, okay, if you go
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: to Daniel's men's store and tell them that you're a
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Three Guys listener, he'll give you twenty percent off of
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: what you buy. And we introduced these folks to find
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: looking Phil and immediately we go back after a week
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: or so, he said, Phil, anybody coming in there saying
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: they're listening to three go dude, it's crazy. So that's
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: how this started, right. So yeah, there's absolutely no question
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: that these advertisements that we do use move the needle tremendously. Tremendously.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: By the way, talk to Phil this weekend. You know
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: he's got Peter Millar women's clothes.
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: First I've heard of this.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: Really.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's carrying a carrying some of these in women's sizes. Okay,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: so here's the deal. If I could have a word
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: with our Three Guys male listeners right now, if you've
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: done something to cause disharmony in your relationship with your
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: significant other, and she's a mountaineer fan and go to
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: fine looking Phils and say, hey, Philly, got any of
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: those women's Peter Malar. That'll take care of it.
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: Hold on, you don't have to cause something that disarmonies.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: Just do it.
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: Just do it to be nice. I have a significant
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: other that's female, Just go in.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: And get one.
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: Well you could do that too, well, I mean I
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: think we just lead with that. We led with disharmony.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, obviously there's some disarmony he's trying to
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: sort through. But I agree, like, oh, I love my
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: I love my wife. I'm going to get this for her.
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: Look, honey, I was in here. I saw this nice
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: westernis shirt. I thought as well, so I got to
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: see each one.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: Is that right?
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: Though?
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: He's got them? Huh mmm, Well I'll stalk those on
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: my Tuesday shift coming up.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: I didn't know he had. I'm gonna neaed this. I
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: had a young lady that I know, Julie.
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: Athose last week when I was there. Well, you'll can
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: help the people sun the maybe dress a mannekin or two.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Do you go every Tuesday?
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: Try to.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: Texas says, I was concerned pick up extra shifts where
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: I can't gets busy this time of year up, but
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: I understand pick up those shifts. I was concerned after
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: our success last year that we'd be over confident this
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: year and not have that same chip or edge. But
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: here we are again. No respect six six wrens, six
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: wins when we had nine last year. With all we
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: got back, no player ranked in ESPN's top one hundred,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: No players on ESPN's first or second team picked no
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: higher than the middle of the pack in the league,
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: not considered a contender for the league title, and at
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: best a dark horse. I love that we are going
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: to be a home dogs to start the season. I'm
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: guess the Lakota were ten point home dogs at Little
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: Big Horn. All they talked about was Custer and his
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: past success, and flair ended with Custer taking a dirt nap.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing the game on August thirty first, we'll end
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: with people calling for Franklin's job. Boom Eddie from Columbus,
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Ohio rights, I was born in Parker's got and take
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: care of business.
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: Huh, that's it. I mean, I think Kneel's right when
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: he talks about all that the underrating that's going on
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: right now. But at the end of the day, you
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: go out and you win this year, take a year
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: to put up numbers again. That stuff's going to take
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: care of itself, right. You don't need to pay attention
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: to ESPN at this point. Just come here, listen. We'll
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: tell you about You want to hear about Gary Green,
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: We'll tell you about Gar Green.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: I was born.
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: Need to wait for somebody ESPN talk about Greg Green.
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: Will handle itp We'll handle it.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: We got it.
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: It's here, we got it.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: Eddie and Columbus. I was born in Parkersburg, but I
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: lived in Ohio for the majority of my life. However,
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: most of my family is from or still resides in
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: West Virginia. My loyalty has always remained Mountaineer. My wife
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: is from central Ohio and her entire family is diehard Buckeyes.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Our daughter, although early on, was a fifty to fifty
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: fan of both schools. She even shows her eighth grade
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: volleyball jersey to be number twenty nine, after the great
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: pac Man Fox. Most days she wears West Virginia gear
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: to school. Her Ohio state loving classmates try to shame her.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: That's only made her stronger. This isn't a sign of
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: a true mountaineer.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know what is that Ohio State story is
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: fascinating because of the amount of money that they have
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: put in into nil, the amount of money they're playing
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: Will Howard, and the fact Brad that for Ryan Day,
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: you only got you got two options this year, win
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: the champion, win the national championship, or be an absolute failure.
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, and you better figure out a way to
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: beat Michigan, who most certainly will be coming back to
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: the pack this year. You got to figure that out.
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: But the way they that payroll they've reportedly reportedly put
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: out there. Yeah, there's it's National champion chip or bust
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: over there.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: Texter is texting this question when I'm listening to your
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: last episode. Question on the big the BTT stat right,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: big time throw. If a receiver makes a great catchdown field,
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: not a bad throw, but a better catch, does that
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: count as BTT.
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: It's a good question. Based on their definition, it could.
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: It could. Now if it's a high throw and a
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: total circus sketch, that probably doesn't count because that'd be
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: the reception. But if it's if the throws on the
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: mark as defined, then yeah, probably.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: Would Wendel from Randolph County on the over unders from
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: part two. I'll take the over on BTT for Garrett
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: because of his experienced receiving corps. I'll take the over
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: on receiving touchdowns for Taylor because of the increased trust
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: in the fact that he was hampered last year. We're
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: in a brace. I'll take the unders on pass breakups
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: because the league is more of a running league. Can't
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: wait for the season to start, Texter says, can you
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: please provide some d details regarding the upcoming food court
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: for the Penn State game, the location, the hours, the vendors,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: et cetera. Thanks well. The plan right now as of
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: this moment is that we will do the food court
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: every single home game to which they're seven. So last
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: year we just debuted it, put our toe in the water.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: We did it twice and it was a smashing success
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: that we did. Have a great time, great time. So
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: came this year. The plan is to do seven times
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: and starting on Wednesday. Most weeks it's going to be
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Friday Saturday, but Albanize Friday Saturday, but Pennesday morning. Yeah, okay, Saturday. Yeah,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: and then for Penn State, we're doing it Wednesday and Wednesday, Thursday,
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: Friday correct Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and then we're going
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: to have different types of foods. So we're going to
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: debut a new beer on the twenty eighth, and it'll
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: be our second beer that we've done. The first one
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: was tremendous.
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: Award winning, if I'm not mistaken, I believe.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: So all you had to do is, yeah, all you
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: gotta do is take a look at that app and
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: it was. It blowed up, very popular.
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: Hard to find this soe we'll talk.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: More about that. We'll talk about but it's going to
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: debut Parkersburg Brewing, the some say the oldest, the oldest
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: brewery in the state of West Virginia, like two thousand
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: years old might be too give or take give or
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: take a decade or a century.
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: They used to make mead, Yeah, exactly, so.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: They'll be they'll So we'll have the beer, we'll have
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: sweet treats, we'll have the bar I I want to
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: show you the barbecue. Okay, so I visited this weekend
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: Rev Kev's new barbecue trailer. I'd like to show you
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: a couple of things Austin, if you could roll through
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: some of those montage of photos that I sent you
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: on the pictures. So that's the trailer made it up here,
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: and that was Friday when they were giving it the test.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: I went inside of that thing. So there's that's a
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: little bit of Rev keV now his whole head, but
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: you could see inside that thing all the warming stuff.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: They got a full grill in there. Boom hit it again.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: So grill got a fryer in there making tater tots
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: that you can order, and it's just fantastic, right, It's
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: just like there's a grill, you can do tots, you
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: can do mac and cheese. So that's what that's gonna be.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: Then can you show a picture of the brisket. So
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: then he did a test. There's a chicken. Chicken was
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: really good. That's he turns out and those are those
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: are thighs and he pulls the skin and they pull
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: it and the chickens awesome. And they needed a brisket
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: and I was a little brisket in there. Huh okay.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: So if you remember when Ren Baker was in here,
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he set it on the air
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: off the air. He said, big brisket guy was in
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: Texas from all I mean, he knows brisket. So I said,
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: I got brisket. He goes, I haven't had.
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: Any good Yeah, he's looking for good brisket.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: He said, I've not had a good brisket since I've
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: been to West Virginia. I said, I got it. He goes, don't.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: I said, no, I'm putting my name on this. Yeah.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: So Rev keV made me a brisket Saturday. I picked
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: it up at New kept it warm, kept it warm
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: until the scrimmage was over, and then I brought the
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: brisket over to football and brought to the training table
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: where the director sampled the brisket. Can you run that
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: video here a little bit? You can hear this?
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: Here we go, we'll hear it.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: Well, I assume the audio is on. I can't hear
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: it myself, but I just pretend it is.
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: Is the pot on.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: Here's so basically he said, we we can't hear it here,
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: but folks could hear it listening. He said, keV needs
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: to get out of the ministry and just do this
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: full time. Thinks he can win more. Hearts to the
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: Lord through the brisket. Brisket's a strong and then I
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: and then I fed some to Jordan Leslie who also
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: he was here, right, huge food, huge food guy. He
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: absolutely loved it. And I felt sorry for some of
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: the staff members because soon as the word got out
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: that the brisket was back there, they came in. They
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: came in. They Matt Moore came in, came in, Victor
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: came in, right, and then a poor couple of poor
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: bullel Marshall. It was dust. It was dusted by dusted
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: by the time he got there.
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: When I mean, we say things lots of times we're joking,
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: but when we say, this is not a joke. This
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: is the best brisket you'll ever have.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, and then it is good. It's it's outstanding. So
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: that'll be on display. Kevin will be cooking at every
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: one of the games. Get it Texter?
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: What more details on that too? Yeah, Well, because you
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: can pre order that and be able to pick it
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: up and there's some stuff that goes with you.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you want to, you could buy a whole pant.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: You can just say I want to brisket. You can
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: pre order during the week, go to the go to
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: the trailer, pick it up, take it to your tailgate.
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: And folks said, folks came over last year, picked some
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: up and took it back to their tailgates.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you said, because I had a brisket situation
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: this weekend. But that it's you get the He gets
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: the prime, not the choice.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: That's prime. That's all prime that he's cooking with. Okay,
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: it's all prime. Yeah, Hey guys, it's LEVI from Lincoln County.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: I took a trip over the weekend down the Smokies
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: to go to Dollywood and the Dixie Stampede. Absolutely amazing food.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: By the way, The checking was elait, but I was
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: truly able to see the West Virginia connection. Mountaineers very
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: well represented in Tennessee, especially at Dollywood. Of course, they
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: were seemed like everywhere you turn someone was wearing a
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: flying WV. That gets you thinking. I was at the
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: WVU Tennessee game in Charlotte, and it was so cool
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: to be able to see both schools with such tradition.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: If West Virginia were to have gone into the SEC
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: instead of Missouri, I feel like that would have been
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: such a fitting rivalry. Rocky Top versus Country Roads. Love
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: the show. Listen every week. I'm a way to work,
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Texter. Did Hoppy know about this?
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: Oh my? What is that?
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: Pete Thamil released a tweet last week. It shows that
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: the WWE will prepare and we'll make will forge a
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: big twelve championship belt. They're doing some select belts for
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: big time schools and West I should say for West Virginia.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: WV is one of the schools and you could see
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: there Georgia and all the big boys are in there
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: in WVU has been designated as one of the majors,
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: and so they'll have your own WWE WVU belt.
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: Cool, Yeah, Pete Sami will beat me on that too.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: So this Texter asks, can we start a tradition of
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: playing Charles Wesley Godwin's Q Country Roads at the end
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: of the third quarter. I got out of that business
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: a long time ago. I stopped even Mayham. That's what
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: chased Brad out of the Athletic Department's office. Right, yep.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: Those are the kind of suggests. So we don't do that.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: We just do we do food. We cause our own problems,
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: Texas says. Hoppy has a hanky in his pocket, but
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: he just brushed off. Selling a koozy to the hard
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: blue collar workers of West Virginia is an all time
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: come on, man, I can't believe he would insult us
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: beer drinking, koozy loving state. It's true, Hoppy, I don't
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: know you. You carry a hanky, but you you did
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: not advocate for the coozies.
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: I don't see the connection.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: He thinks that a kozie is a part of West
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: Virginia culture, just like I'll.
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: Try to be open to that. I hadn't thought about that.
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, I thought the West Virginia thing was the
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: beer in your hand doesn't even stay there long enough
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: to get warm to require it to keep cold. It's
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: gone pretty quickly.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: That's possible. This next text was pretty wild. It shows
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: you the global influence that three guys has receive. This.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: I stopped by your little diner in Edinburgh, Scotland while
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: out for lunch today, but they did not have any
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: pepperoni roles. See that I send people to that restaurant
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: in Edinburgh, Scotland, as I went there. When I went there,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: I went a couple three years ago to Scotland, Ireland.
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: That's that Devil's advocate.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, put that picture pack up police. So so that's
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: the devil's advocate and unbelievable lamb there. As you might imagine,
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: he said. This gentleman right here says I have followed
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: the Mountaineers through air Force, flying through his career as
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: an air Force pilot hoppy lo F sixteen's, and now
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: he flies FedEx Corporate. Love your show. I'll be in
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: Morgantown thirty first. So then I asked him, I said, so,
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: what's your route? What is your route on your FedEx?
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: I thought the guy was like a cargage. You tell
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: him you're an aviation nerd yes that, I said, I'm
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: a playing geek. Yeah, I said, what's your what's your right?
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: He goes, no, no, no, he says, I fly all
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: over the world FedEx Corporate for our corporate people. And
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: then that's the bad boy he flies. So I looked
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: that up. I looked that up. That's a Global Express
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: six thousand that has a that has a flight range
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: hobby of over seven thousand miles. And I said, since
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: I am a geek, I looked up the price too.
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: Let me get okay, I have no idea. I'm gonna
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: say I'm gonna say over under, I'm gonna say over
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: fifteen million.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: You're exactly on top of it, plus forty million. A
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: bad boy goes for sixty five million American dollars, can.
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: You ask if we can get that to go to
• 55:58
  Speaker 4: Summer League mixture. I'm looking for a plane to get
• 56:01
  Speaker 4: us out there. Probably do the job.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: He said in his text that there have been a
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: couple of times that he has flown FedEx folks to
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: WVU games. He said, you know, I just I took
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: myself and said, okay, fine, I'll fly you guys there.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: And so that's what he does. Sixty sixty five million
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: for that court, for the global six thousand so express.
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: So three guys probably not probably not going to one of.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: This, right, not in that one. I'll tell you what
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: that get us down to Myrtle Beach for that. Merle's
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: Inlet show pretty quick.
• 56:29
  Speaker 4: Let those damn coozies up on the side of We're
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: well on our way.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: How many koozies do we have to sell things with you?
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: Texter over under two and a half on the number
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: of plays in the Albany game where a third string
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: or lower running back is in the splot slot.
• 56:47
  Speaker 4: Michael from Austin big joke running back being in the
• 56:50
  Speaker 4: slot going to throw the ball the running back more
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: comes up every single spring.
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: Every spring.
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: Wayne from Fredericksburg writes, I just watched your Jeff Hostetler
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: episode again where I saw a young Brad Howell. Why
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: is it that Tony never ages onto the coach neil
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: an episode? I just wrote what he said, Brad Howell.
• 57:08
  Speaker 4: Who did he see? I don't know who that is
• 57:11
  Speaker 4: Brad Howell. Brad Howell first I've heard of that person. Howell. Yeah, well,
• 57:17
  Speaker 4: we know why you never age. You have those cosmetic
• 57:19
  Speaker 4: surgeries that you just why is that question even need
• 57:22
  Speaker 4: to be asked?
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: Brad? One of us here has had cosmetic surgery. Some
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: are just cosmetic surgery.
• 57:27
  Speaker 4: Of course, he looks good.
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: Looks great.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: Brad's by the way, Brad's incredulous because like two people
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: that we know in the last two weeks have told
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: him that they got to get it done now too.
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: Really yeah, yeah, Texter. Three guys, I'd like to know
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: your expectations for the environment and atmosphere for Penn State.
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: As big of an atmosphere as LSU eleven. Where does
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: it rank in biggest home game since two thousand, Brent
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: from Morgantown. I'll tell you after it's over where it
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: ranks as far as do you win best ever?
• 58:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I do expect chaos leading into.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: It, though, I think so too.
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: You just got you just you just got to keep
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: the crowd.
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, yes, yes, Hey, you got play well, play
• 58:14
  Speaker 4: well to be a great atmosphere.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: Texter, this is an insult. Soon as he starts talking
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: to us, Hey, goobers. I truly enjoy the show in
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: the varian subject matter. Obviously, we're all focused on football
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: as we look to the opener. You youngsters will not
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: remember when Bobby Bowden compared WVU athletics to Penn States athletics.
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: And how about Danny Bugs seemingly running the wrong direction
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: only to sometimes outrun the opponents. Whoo Charleston Blair of Memphis.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: So I think he's talk about when Bugs used to
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: take upon return and go backward in order to go forward. Texter,
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: I love the let's go out near chan at the stadium.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: It seems like the crowd only does that at the beginning,
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: not throughout the game. Am I missing something? I thought
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: the chant throughout the game is extremely intimidated for the
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: visiting team. Can Scopes please speak to the cheerleading team?
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: No about engaging the crowd a chance, Let's go more
• 59:06

  Speaker 4: and then this other one that I found interesting of Garrett.
• 59:44
  Speaker 4: I didn't know he was this well rounded. Garrett likes
• 59:47
  Speaker 4: to ride horses, or did when he was little. Look
• 59:49
  Speaker 4: at Garrett on a horse.
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: That's a little g squared.
• 59:52
  Speaker 4: Look that's his mom. There's Garrett up on a horse.
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: Didn't you used to ride a horse?
• 59:56
  Speaker 4: Well? Thanks for asking, got me thinking of a past episode. Hoppy.
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: I knew I liked Garrett for a reason. That big horse,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: hob you were a ride you rode just step right
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 4: a look at that. I had a big, full size adult.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: I'll take the adult horse age six five four something
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 4: like that. Get right on there.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: That's a big horse, Garrett. I big horse guys here,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: well documented. I don't care how small you were as
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: a kid. There, that's still a big horse. Like if
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: there was a big person on that horse, that's still
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: a big horse.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 4: It's a big horse. I mean, what were my parents thinking?
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 4: Put me on that horse? That's a horse.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: That's huge. Let me see. Can I see garretts again?
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: You see little g there?
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 4: So big horse guys there?
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: How Garrett? I mean, did you take lessons or what? Yeah?
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: Oh? Did you rode for a while?
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 4: Did you trails?
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: Gallop? You galloped whole thing? That'd be fun interesting.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 4: Next time we have Garrett back and join us, we
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 4: can talk some horses.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: I had a bad horse experience and Ocho Rios, Jamaica.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: What happened?
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 4: Well to take off on you.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: No, no, it was fine.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 4: You're going the water with it.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. They the big thing there is to ride them
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: in the ocean. Yeah yeah, So it was all good.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: So I'm on it. It's bareback summer. I think I've
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: told this here four hundred and nine thousand episodes. I
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: probably told this. So like five or six horses in
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: front of me, just going to water, and you know,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: you're straddling the water the shoreline. You just go in there,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: but you're up knee high, waist high, right up to
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: your waist. Well, it's good until those horses up front
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: start to use the bathroom. Excuse me, Yeah, And so
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: they'll start to use the bathroom and all of a sudden,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: it's like you're you're inside that. It's like you're inside
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: the pipe at Shawshank Redemption trying to get out. I
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: mean all I needed was Morgan Freeman going there. He
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: was Tony riding in that, riding a big horse through
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: the most stinky, smelly sludge you'd ever see.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 4: So you didn't have a good horse riding experience.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: It was memorable.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, obviously.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: I mean you're in the water, so you can wash
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: off quick by the way Garret Garrett Green's mom, Happy birthday,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: Happy birthday. And if you were here, tell you what
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: I'll get you for your birthday. What I'd get her
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: The world famous Tutors Mountaineer Biscuit. You know that's an
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: award winning biscuit from Tutors Biscuit.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 4: World World Championship.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: I think they won a competition there it is right there.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: Look at that bad boy. I mean you just do
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: you see the picture? You just want to walk to
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: your screen and grab it. Intense competition. That one right

• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: of thirty two different companies that make biscuits, and Tutors
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: won that thing. That's a world's championship.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: That's incredible.

• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: was just in Morgantown getting my youngest son moved into
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: Seneca Hall. You guys are already familiar with my daughter Jace.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: She does stuff for the show that I've never met
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: her though right we have not met her, but she
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: works with Dave. She did a lot of graphics and

• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: a West Virginia grad and he works for the Black Bears.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: Before head him back out of town, I met him
• 1:03:27

• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: preparing to leave to meet his girlfriend's parents for the
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: very first time. Her family lives in tar Hill Country.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: Her dad works inside the Athletic department at University of
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: North Carolina.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 4: This could be good. He was trying to come up
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 4: with a galeh, nice.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: To meet you. No, he went one better. He was
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: trying to come up with a gift for the dad.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: After quickly checking with the girl, his dad was a
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: coffee drinker. We decided to get him a bag of
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: Game day grind how to be perfect, hoping he and
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: the coffee will be a big hit. Let's go Mountaineers.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: Craig and Saint Albans, also known as Jac's dad very good, Craig. Yeah,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: I'd like to know what he thinks of that coffee.

  Speaker 1: Trying to impress the dad. First meeting with the parents.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: Brought you a little something.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 4: Hey, much an elite coffee.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: Mister Jones. Here's some game day grind. There's these geeky
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: guys in Morgantown. That's their coffee available at Mountaineer Roasting.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: I don't think they can keep that.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 4: On the shelf. Uh, No, getting restocked now. Someone's the
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 4: other this morning already sold out over the weekend. I
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 4: know because I had it back out again.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: I went fine looking Phil. I saw fine looking Phil
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: yesterday and he told me he went in and there
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: wasn't any. Final looking Phil still sells.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 4: I think he's got some on the shelf.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think he had to go to the
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: store to get a bit.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 4: I'll check that tomorrow. My cheft fil selling coffee and clothes.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, mount Near Roasting. You should maybe go over there
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: a little bit.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah I should.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: Noah from Wardensville, I too, have bought Romney peaches. They
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: can also sometimes be found at Grandees on the outskirts
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: of the Outer Banks. Always a West Virginia connection, isn't
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: that neat hobby. I'm a little disappointed that I didn't
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: bait you listeners to give me some more Rhymney peaches
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: because I had that one pack and that's all been it.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: I'd like to get him before it's too late.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: Aren't there some a round still? I don't see him really?
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: Not the place in Sabreton?
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: Did you go out there? Nowhere?
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: Sabrton, not by the Krogers.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: I don't go near Saberton much anymore since I don't
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: work over in that career building. Okay, look to you
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: next time you have Natty Neil on the show. Since
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: he's from Kentucky, what's his favorite bourbon? Thanks? Love the show.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: It's probably a beer guy. Oh no, no, no, he's
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: a bourbon guy.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: Well, because he grew up in it. He knows that
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: stuff pretty good. Rick for Mercer County. If we could
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: be guaranteed a nine and three season going seven to
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: two in the Big twelve, would you take it?
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 4: Yes? Yes, sold, take it today. We'll talk about this later.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 4: Hard and sparse. When you get to back to back
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 4: nine win seasons or more here at WV, that is
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 4: hard to do. Don't care, league, don't care. Schedule hard
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 4: to do in back to back years.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: Don Neilan did it three times? Your two year, three year, four,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: You're ripe bread. I mean put it into context. He
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: played over one hundred years of football. See how many
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: times it's happened.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 4: I'll give me that.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: I've got it. Yeah, Texter says, three guys, I drove
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: to Tucson one nine hundred and sixty five miles with
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: all of my tools to do a small renovation job
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: at my daughter's new home. He asks, parenthetically, why would
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: you not have to do so in a newly built house?
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: Fair meanwhile, not happy about that. In the one hundred
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: and fifteen degree heat, I was set up in the garage.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: A guy stops in and asks, hey, how do you
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: like this house? He owned the company who built it.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: He sees my West Virginia license played. Of course his
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: brother or his cousin. I blame old age and poor hearing.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: Is Or was the team physician for the Mountaineer men's
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: basketball team. He said he had heard many legendary stories
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: about hugs always a West Virginia connection signed by Luther
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: and Charleston. I'll tell you what you leave. You pull
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: out of Charleston with a truck full of tools. Knowing
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: that you got to go to Tucson. That's a long day. Nice,
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: that is a long day.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: Can't get there from here.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: Ben from Ohio, writes Jeff Coon's mountaineer assistant. His choice
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: of beverage is very strong. The cherry limeade ice is
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: a ten out of ten. I highly recommend. Did he
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: bring it up in a press conference?
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 4: I said, yeah, that must have been what was out
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 4: on the press conference?
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Three wise guys. Ben a lot to talk about
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: the addition of the NFL communication to college. While it
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: has been noted that one player on the field will
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: have the green dot, we'll be able to hear the
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: communications from the sideline, but not sure how many heard.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: How many coaches can talk to the players. Is one
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: coach designated as the communicator or is it an open
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: hoppy style party line that multiple coaches can talk like.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: One coach focuses on the play call, one on the
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: opposition form AQ, another one with a positive headspace. Regardless,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: there will be need to be fine orchestrated coordination to
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: maximize the tech, keep it from coming to a complete mess.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: So a couple things on them. Yeah, they'll keep the
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: communication extremely limited. It'll just be Neil. And they used
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: the laptop thing they hand what do they call them things? Pads,
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: you can't call them ipaths, surf windows, the surface tablet,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: the little monitors, the sideline. They use those this weekend.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: And as Neil said in his post scrimmage press conference,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: like they work. When they work, their work really good.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: And when then they don't work, it's, you know, pain
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: in the backside. So they're getting through all that. We'll
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: get it done. Last one, I had to share a
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: quick story last Thursday. While I was listening to The
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: Over Under Part two, I enjoyed the banner about Chef
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: Boyard and his catering for Woodrow Wilson at the Greenbrier.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: Literally that night on Celebrity Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: the five hundred thousand dollars question was which president did
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: Chef boyar d cater a honeymoon for. That same night,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: it was on Yeah, the Celebrity the Chances. The celebrities
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: thought it was Hoover, but they didn't know and decided
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: to take the two hundred and fifty thousand dollars and
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: not gamble on this question. I'm in my living room saying.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: It's Woodrow Wilson call.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: Me, and of course it was. When asked how I knew,
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: I told my family that I listened to an educational
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: podcast called Three Guys before the game. You all should
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: find comfort that your show is both educational and financially
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: valuable in the right circumstances. Thank you for all you do.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 3: First time we've been called educational.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: So I remember you looked that because you didn't believe
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: that chef Boyard had worked at the Green Lirips.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 3: I didn't. I I was just confirming, that's all. You
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 3: didn't believe I hadn't. I hadn't heard, so I was
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: just confirming and it was confirmed.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you got to make a call, and if you're
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: a business owner, make sure your calls are going through
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: to your business. Comax Business Systems has just state of
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: the art digital phone systems that they can provide to you.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: You can buy them, you can run them, you can
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: lease them. Whatever. It works from one line to one
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: thousand digital phone lines. Comax Business Systems wonderful folks. Bob Maxwell,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: the owner, tremendous, he's just terrific. And the staff they're
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: wonderful people. So any kind of office equipment whatsoever, from
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: phone systems to printers to copy anything you need. They
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: got that.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 4: They're diverse offensively as well.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: They got a lot of playmakers.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 4: They do a bunch of different things.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: They got a lot of playmakers, and they can also
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: remote in and provide monitoring service for your I visit
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: COMAXWV dot com. As I said, this is the colm
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: before the season. That's the name of this episode. And
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: so this is kind of a weird week. It's that week.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 4: It every year.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: Every year I say it's a weird week. But here's
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: what's here's what happens. It's also an incredibly so it's
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: like quiet, you say, quiet before calm, before the story.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: It's the last thing, but calm. It's crazy trying to
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: get everything ready, like every year. I'll also say this,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: like starting a football season is like launching an ocean
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: liner or a military destroyer. Like to get that to
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: that point where you push it off is unbelievably hard.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: In our business, the broadcast side of things, it's amazing.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: And then it just seems like after you finally play
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: the first and like everything else just goes and then
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: it's zips. But getting the thing off deck is hard.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 4: It's a lot of areas, facilities. People think in that
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 4: right now, game operations, ticketing, there's a lot. There is
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 4: a lot. But from a from a discussion standpoint, the
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 4: reason we all we say that is because you've you've
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 4: been going through and we're so jacked up when August
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 4: first or third, whatever day practice begins and you come
