  Speaker 4: you doubled down on you biscuit.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: All right, boys, let's jump in. West Virginia thirty eight
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma State fourteen leaves the Mountaineers at three up and
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: two downs so far this season, and two and zero
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: in Big Twelve Conference play in what, overall was just
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a pretty wild weekend, not a pretty weld, an extremely
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: wild weekend in college football outside of the league, obviously,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: with both the Alabama and Tennessee going to It's uh
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: in Missouri Missouri and Missouri.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Top ten Missouri Missouri lined up, got absolutely exposed, get
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: out of the top ten.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: See you also, Miami down twenty five at Kale comes
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: back and wins. That was kind of like a car
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: accident that you could see coming. I had it on
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: last night and I could just feel it, you know,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: like when they got there, they got last said, I'm done,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I'm out. I don't want to see it. I'm not
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: watching the accident. I knew it was coming. Just shut
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: her down. All right, let's jump in on the program.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: We will get hoppies obvious observations titled hoo who who who?
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Senator has spreads on stats Again, these are fresh numbers,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: just less than twenty four hours after the game is over,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: so they'll they'll adjust themselves over here the next several days.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: But for the most part, we'll get the gist, and
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of gist. It's just in they were
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: good in this game. Great, are good, Great, you're pretty good.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Still going to stay that way. And then obviously we
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: have spreads are the textual healing, which was stunningly different. Huh,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: stunningly different than the weeks where a couple of things
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I noticed. It's pretty interesting. Now we'll get a couple
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: hundred when they lose, you get about a third of that.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: When they win, which is surprising. What do you mean
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: by that, Well, it.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Just surprises me if fans, you would think you would
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: just be excited over wins like that, don't. I don't
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: know why everybody has to jump off the ledge all
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: to be excited. What do I always say? Hop this
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: this can be fun. You're allowed to have. So enjoy
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: the moments when there's wins. Enjoy the moments when there's
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: a game like yesterday when you line up, punch them
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: straight right in the face, and punch them in the
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: face again, then step on their throat while they're down
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: and get the win and enjoy it, have fun. Yeah,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: it's fun, agreed.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: So we can put this thing into perspective and we will.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: But it certainly sets up a pretty interesting two game
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: home stand. The Iowa staters come in Saturday night, eight
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: o'clock in the dark, black uniforms and no lights at all,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: not even gonna turn lights.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Off, glowing the bark dog, glowing bark dark ball.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: The only thing you're gonna have is the light from
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: over WVU Medicine. That's the only thing. You're just holding
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: some reflective other than just playing in straight darkness.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: They'll put those headlamps under.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: It, exactly. So we got that.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Then you got Kansas State, and then you got Arizona
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: and your month of October is going to be over.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: So it's super super intriguing, super fun. You got some life.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Let's get into it, Hoppy, Please state your obvious observations.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Okay, here's my who's and to me this turned into
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: a check the box game and I stayed up all
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: night working on this graphic. So maybe you can see
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: that graphic. I have boxes, nice work boxes. Check there.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: So let's start and see if these boxes were check
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Brad A win on the road against the conference upon
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: it when you went underdog, not a big underdog, but
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: an underdog. Check offense reaches potential, check white on track,
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: check past defense improved, creates turnovers. Even Steve Dunlap, the
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: very critical former defensive coordinator, looks at it and says, hey,
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: the defense played well and disguise their defensive dis guys.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: A lot of their defenses not just improved, really good.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: Check set up for the October run starting with the blackout.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Check overall improvement in the off week, lots of it.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Double check confidence in not only your quarterback, would you
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: had confidence anyway, but your backup quarterback who comes in
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: in a difficult spot.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Weren't exactly sure when the backup was in and when
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: he wasn't, just came in quarterback position was awesome.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Check the boxes all checked? Can I ask a question? Yeah,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: so you guys were with Doune Lap he came back
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: from this fishing trip. Yeah he's finally here. Huh, yes, okay, surprise,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Just shut up and yeah showed up.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: Just shut up.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know if aybody knew he was coming.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Just shut up and have a big stringer of fish
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: with him.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Had about four hundred fish pictures though, yeah fish fish
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: guys love to show you pictures.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah they do.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: They love the pictures.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fish fish.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: I might like the pictures more than the actual fishing.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Fish people are no different than the Kardashians. The Kardashians
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: like they take those selfies and they purse their lips.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Same good thing with fishing guys. They just pursed the
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: lips of the fish.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Dunlap fished so much he came back with carpol tunnel.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I believe it's true, which is actually true? I know,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: I believe it.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Well, you can't do this every single day from the
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: time he gets up in the cannon then just stays
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: there for months.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: What do you think that's gonna do?
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: But you know, Tony, in all seriousness, Dunlap knows what
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: he's looking at, okay. And he had looked at film
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: of a couple games, and then he watched yesterday and
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: he said, hey, they're better better at gap control number one,
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: better at in their defensive back thud, and communication, better
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: in disguising.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, we're doing defensively they I wanted to ask you, okay,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: what did he say? Because Neil told me Friday that
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: they had put some things in defensively that they had
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: not shown on tape yet.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: So what was he saying? Was it robber coverage?
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: It's shifting late, right, not just not just getting into
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: your position before the snap. And again some of that
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: and Steve even said this, Ordin have said this, when
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: you got new guys in there, you got to be
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: a little bit simple so that they can execute. But
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: what's that also to do allows the other team to
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: see what you're doing. This was they were moving guys late,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: rolled the corners up a little bit, played the two
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: safeties deep. That helped, and just disguise some of the
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: stuff you were doing there.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: Like in the one at the first interception, it was
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: safety help, but it was disguised. So Bowman never saw
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: our Jem Joseph coming over.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and we kind of I dd it upstairs, kind
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: of like a robber covered.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So he was he was favorably impressed what he
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: saw defensively, and what he had pointed out previously was
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: that that West Virginia's even that defensive front, as good
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: as they had been at times, was not getting gap
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: control and was allowing long runs. And they had better
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: gap control in.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: The hir we'll get into this. I'm sure with the sacks,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: but they had been sacked just once the entire season.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: West Virginia gets two on the same possition.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: In the country. Talked about that in the preview episode.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: We'll recap that kind of Yeah, yeah, it was great.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: You couldn't you really couldn't ask for anything better. I mean,
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: you took the ball right away, as West Virginia does.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Neil explained that after the game, took the ball marks
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: right down the field. You would have liked to touch down,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: but you got points right and just kept rolling right
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: from there. It was just a dominating is the word, right,
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: A dominating win on the road against a really good
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: program that many thought would would.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: Be in the mix to win this league. Five win
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: in and buried him five possessions in the first half,
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: five scores.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well aware.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And Oliver Straw does not officially get a punt
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: in the game because it was a penalty. He got roughed,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: so he never had a patent, so he really didn't punt.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: We was Virginia technically did not punt in the game.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: I give West Virginia a lot of credit, not just
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: for the results, but we talked about what a situational
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: advantage they had going into the game. You're on an
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: off week, Oklahoma State playing its six consecutive game, and
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: they had some injury issues. You took advantage of that situation, right.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: You did exactly what you were supposed to do when
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: you were when you were handed one of those advantages,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: you just rolled. But here's the interesting thing. You know,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: they they clearly missed Colin Oliver, they clearly missed Nick Martin,
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: And we talked about that the middle of that defense
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: where you could run right at them, and you did.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: But here's the thing that we'll get dismissed because you
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: were so dominating, and people say, well, they had some injuries.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't know if it's as good one.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing. Westernia lost his starting quarterback for a
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: while and starting center for a few snaps. Did anybody
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: make any excuses for that or did you roll in
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: and put your guys in and just absolutely mashed credit
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: to them, extremely well prepared, extremely ready to go. Everybody
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: on that that offense, defense and special teams executed fantastic.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: Controlled Oli Gordon, my goodness.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Just we'll get into those numbers. But absolutely squelched
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: him down.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: And in a stunning development. Very few penalties in that game.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: It was a nice Yeah, two things. West Virginia two
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: penalties the entire game, and that's one thing. They finished
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: with two for five yards. Oaks State had three for
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: thirty yards. Yeah, five total penalties. Again, that clean, isn't
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: that kind of neat? Is clean?
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: That kind of neat? But I did lose my mind
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: on the Garrett Green slide.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Uh, you weren't the only one, just but but let's have.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Some common sense that the rule is this, when the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: player begins to go down, that's a play where.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: The play's dead. Okay, fine, fine, get it. However, he
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: could have easily gone an additional yard or two. He
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: just went there four.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Let's let's have some common sense where the official goes like, hey,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: it's the first down. Can you just can we just
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: do that because it is so subjective as to win
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: quote unquote begin to go down, right, So you're just
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: you're talking about three quarters of a yard to a
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: yard right there.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: That's the difference. That's what pissed me up.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Well, is it when the knee buckles? Is it when
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: you start the slide? Is it when your body lot right.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: It's a it's it's a it's a horrific interpretation of
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: the rule. The rule needs to be changed because here's
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: the other part. It's intended for player safety. So what
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: you're now asking people to do is not take safety
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: first and foremost and say, okay, if you're going to
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: penalize it, I got to go a little further, and
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: now you open the chance for getting hit.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Horrific and off topic. Not in our game because we
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: didn't have any targeting. I saw some targeting penalties non
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: calls and then calls let yesterday where that penalty is
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: totally just totally in a confused molde.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: You're saying there's confusion over targeting. I haven't heard that before.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: I say, we're gonna have a guy that's gonna miss
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: the first half.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they had a guy that got done and then
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: so that was a horrible call. And then you have
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: North Carolina and Pitt. You had a North Carolina defender
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: come over and bam Pit's quarterback and should have absolutely
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: been targeting target.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: So I just anyway, I digress.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: It seems like the slide should be Maybe I'd like
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: to know the rationale for why the rules interpret the
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: way it is. It slides should be when you're when
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: you're down right, I mean when your knee touches right.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure they've got sixteen different reasons why. It
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: was just like, just do it right. You know what
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: we need to do.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: What we need to get a Comax new business phone
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: system and call the officials up and ask them why.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Really, I'm gonna while you're I'm gonna google that when.

  Speaker 4: It probably is that, you know, going back to the
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: picket deal that led to the slide rule was so
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: you can't fake it, right, So if you begin, if
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: you act like you're going to slide.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Well, that was a different thing though, So that's two
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: different things. That's the fake slide. That was the picket thing.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: But the other one, the other rule was already in
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: force that once you begin to go down, that's when
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: technically the play is over. I just thought it was
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: just that wasn't common sense. They could have easily said
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: he got the first down.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: Move on.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: You could easily say you're down when you're down. Every
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: other time you're running the ball, you're down when you're
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: down right, right, Why is this one different? You're down
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: when you're down when your pot hits, you're down right?
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: Spout it?
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Where that is?
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: That official ran up? He was right there as soon
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: as he started to slide even though his knee wasn't
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: down there. Later that official ran up and marked it
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: right away short of the.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: First tell you this about the only time they got
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Garrett Green down was that?
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: How about Green? How about how about Garrett Green? Who
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: is you know? C J. Green? Who just and Markiell.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: Markiell put a d back on his back. I mean,
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: just just really tough plays by those guys.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Jeemsy defensive backs, stiff arms, Derrick Henry.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Esque as I think Jaheem White hundred and fifty plus
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: were the quietest one fifty plus because you come out
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: of that game. I don't know about what you guys
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: were saying, but like that was a quiet one fifty plus.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: I don't know about that or did you talk about it?
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, because because that was one of our pregame things.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: We talked a bunch of about going and he's got
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: to get going. He's due. Yeah, so we am, we were,
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: we were Jehem from the beginning.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he had a big because so many other guys
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: had games like CJ.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Make big plays.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Garrett up here, here's what a game he had a game.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: By the way, can't give Hudson Clement the ball enough
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: what a catch. Can't give it? I mean he can
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: do that. That's not an exception to the rule. He's great,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: He's a great receiver. He needs to pump the ball.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: That was a great football play. That's as good a
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: throw as you can make. That's as good as you
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: can cover a dude. I mean that defensive back was
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: all over Hudson. He's over his shoulder, over the top
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: of his head, falling down in one hands.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: The thing are you kidding me? On that catch?
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: Football player couldn't use the right arm being held.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: Make sure we'll tell his his dad this weekend win.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: His dad's performing at the end. Sure he is Mike
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Friday night. Sure he is normally you know by the
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: way he normally you know who he performs with. Who
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: they walker the Martinsburg coach. I didn't know that they
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: play together, but I think Dave's probably got a contest.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty busy, Mike solid.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: Dave won't be here Friday with him. No, he's gonna go, coach.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: So Hudson's dad, Mike Clement, will be performing at the
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: food court. We got a lot of details on that

• 18:09
  Speaker 3: game versus an FBS opponent since twenty sixteen versus Kansas.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, so numbers backing up what you saw with
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: your eyes lined up drilled them. The grade looked like guys,
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: if you go back and look at Westernia's season long
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: grades in different games. It looked like you were playing
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: an FCS opponent. Grade is how it graded out you
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Albany right in your ninety, all Duque and anybody back
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: through the year. So obviously just an impressive performance. Hop.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: What do we say a lot about college football.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Being a week to week business.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: It's a week to week business.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Thank You can't just assume a performance one week will
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: be replicated the next week, good or bad? Correct?
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: Correct?
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Alabama?
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Good example here, Alabama would be a great example. Westernia
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: gave up two hundred and fifty yards rushing to Kansas
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: last week.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: Right right.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Some that caused some angst among some that said, oh no,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: now you're not stopping the past. Now you're not stopping
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: the run. What are you doing? Neil came out and said, listen,
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: sometime tis you've got to decide what you're going to
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: live with. And we wanted to limit the passing attack
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: of Kansas. We knew that was going to open up
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: some run. Kansas took advantage of it, but you're still
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: able to get the win.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: How'd the run defense do on Saturday?
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: Pretty good? Pretty good?
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: That was a switching game plan. That's why it's a
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: week to week business. You looked at that Oklahoma State
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: team as we did, and said, listen, stop Gordon, I
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: don't think the quarterback can beat you. Right right, he's
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: putting up some good counting stats that passing offense cannot
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: beat you. West Virginia comes out, stops to run with
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: a ninety run grade from PFF, a ninety run defense
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: grade best since twenty twenty two.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: Jeez, pretty good, congratulations, well done.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Talked about the Okholi.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: States thirty six total yards, absolutely ate them up thirty six,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: yet could count the sacks and they had thirty six
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: total yards.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Speaking of sacks, we're going to get to that, no, no tell.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: We talked about the Oklahoma State run defense, hop right.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: That was they had struggled. West Virginia had run the ball. Well,
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: if you do what you do, you should have some success.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: We said that Oklahoma State led the conference in boom percentage.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Remember the boom percentage stat the percentage of very successful
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: running plays for the offense. Westernia ran for nearly four
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: hundred yards and had they have fourteen runs of ten
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: yards or more. Talk about a boom percentage. The boom percentage.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Boom was in full effect.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Boom. I'll go to lights fourteen.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Those fourteen run plays, so that's categorized ten plus yards,
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: big play on the ground, ten plus yards. West Virginia
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: had fourteen of those accounted for two hundred and fifty
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: yards rushing just on those plays. Say that again, fourteen
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: rushes of ten ten yards or more for West Virginia.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Those fourteen runs got you two hundred and forty eight
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: of your nearly four hundred yards boom percentage. That stat
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: came to fruition. We also said within that run defense,
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: we niched it down even further and said, watch the
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: quarterback running for West Virginia. They should have a day.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: He should have a day, meaning Garrett Green, Oklahoma State
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: had given up the second most quote very successful run
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: plays to opposing quarterbacks. How'd that work out, hop.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: Well, West Virginia had a lot of successful runs against.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: One hundred and thirty two yard rushing for the quarterbacks
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: combined in.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: That game on seventeen carries.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: So you did exactly what you thought you could do
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: against a defense that had given those up. We said, also, guys,
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: Bowman had thrown a bunch of interceptions and probably should
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: have had more given his turnover worthy plays. He overthrew
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: a receiver in the second quarter, Jaheim Joseph right there
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: to pick it off to end a scoring threat by
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma State Aiden Garnes. And we're gonna talk about him
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: more in a minute. He jumped that route, was right
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: there for an interception, just went through his hands, but
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: he should have had one right there. And then how
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: about Josiah Trotter with that beautiful sideline catch, hold it
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: in one hand, look down to get your feet in,
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: got the two feet in, just needed one.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: Got Krishnikov amazing, led the team in rebounding.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: We talked last week about how historically low Oklahoma States
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: run block grades had been, where they had three games
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: before Saturday, they had three games below a fifty three.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: They'd only had six such games in the last ten years,
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: excluding anything against Texas and Oklahoma, who obviously are in
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: the league. Yesterday, they were darn close to hitting that
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: mark again, just a fifty four run block grade. So
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: West Virginia ate him up in that area. Let's talk
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: defense for West Virginia for a second. We asked the question,
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: could West Virginia get pressure on Alan Bowman, if needed
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: talked about how quickly he unloaded the ball. It was
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: difficult to get home against them. Tony. You mentioned the
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: one sack they had given up that was number one
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: nationally coming into the game. Oklahoma State was number three
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: nationally last year in that category. They just didn't give
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: up sacks. He unloaded in a hurry. West Virginia came
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: out and got two yesterday, doubled the amount of sacks
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: they'd given up all year. They had five tackles for
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: loss as well. So the defense overall, you could see
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: it just played incredibly, incredibly well. West Virginia now over
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: thirty points again, that's eleven of the last thirteen games
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: you've scored more than thirty points. Pretty impressive. All right,
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: you want some grades again, eleven of thirteen games over
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: thirty points.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: That's good.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: That's pretty good. Okay, you won grades, Yes, these offensive grades.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: You're silly, they're so good. Wyatt Milam, your top graded
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: mountaineer number two. This is you talk about something that's sneaky, Tony.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Here's something sneaky. Guy. They talked about at the end
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: of fall practice and right before games began to keep
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: an eye on his tight end positions really coming on
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: for West Virginia. Jack Samarco, second highest graded mountaineer, had
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: twenty one snaps, so not a ton of snaps yesterday's game,
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: but really good grade for him.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Smarco's playing, They say they like him. He sticks his
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: face in there in blocks.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: Your seventh highest graded mountaineer, Treylon Davis. He's really playing
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: as well. He's starting to come along. And how about
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: that first pass play of the game to him? Yes,
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: I love that pattern, Tony.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: They ran it.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Puts your split your tight end out and not your
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: pass quote pass catching tight end. Put Traylan Davis out there.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: He runs down the field and he basically just went
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: to the block like they just ordered him down to
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: the block. He turned kind of squared up, put his
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: hand up, great entry pass and right into the post
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: move the chains. Yeah, this used his big old body
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: because that was good coverage too. He just went down,
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: turn round and I'm just gonna clear you out. That's
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: pretty nice.
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: I like I like him.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: Remac your third highest graded mountaineer, Jaheim White four, Garrett
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: Green five, pretty good. Nico right up there as well.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: Top ten.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, it's just like to have some Brad. The
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: downside of what you say is it's a week to
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: week business. You love to carry over that that performance
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: to next week.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: But new opponent, new new team, team that's riding high. Yes, right,
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: just totally different situation. That's why it's week to week.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: I think what you do try and take week to
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: week is some improvement because as we often say this
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: just in also, you're allowed to improve as the season
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: goes on. That's something you can do. How about defensive grades?
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: Take a guess. There's a lot of options here. Take
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: a guess on the highest graded or the best graded
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Mountaineer defender. Joseph No, although he was four, very good
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: game from Joseph Trotter. No Trotter very good. Top five.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: I'll give it to you, Okay.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: For Torma Molba, I was just gonna go there. You
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: guys don't believe me because I didn't say it, so
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't say no.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: I believe if you say you were going to say,
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: he just he beat that center.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Upma Molba your highest graded mountaineer number two. And I
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: think this is super encouraging because again I thought this
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: was one if you just watched the game, this will
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: back up what your eyes told you. Aiden Garnes was
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: really good.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, really was. He was showing himself.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: He defended a couple passes, knocked a couple down, one
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: had the intercept that was in his hands and just
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: couldn't hold on him that contested play. I thought, Garns, Garns,
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: I thought, gave you yesterday what you had been hearing
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: about him all leading up right. You saw the speed,
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: you saw the ability to close. He was really good.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: T J Jackson right up there again, he continues to
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: have an unbelievable all Big twelve type of year. So
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: he was really good as well. Here's here's a guy
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: that's quietly making some plays. Ty French only got eighteen
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: snaps in there, but he was good. You probably called
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: his name a couple.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Of times than in the past.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so that was really good to see. So just overall,
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, we could go on and on about all
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: this stuff. Just really good grades across the board, as
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: you would expect from a game that looked like it
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: should produce some really good grades.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: So what's it mean? So you take a look at
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: the Big twelve and this weekend you had some results
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: that were interesting, right, Surprise, on Friday Night, Houston goes
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: in and absolutely gives the three stooges two fingers in
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: the eyes to TCU.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: See, he seems to bron settled as a program. I
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: know they went to NASA Championship a couple of years ago.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: They have been going the other directions for a couple
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: of years.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: They're up and down and TCU, you know, previously under
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: a previous administration, was known for that tough defense. I
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: mean Houston just ran over him.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thirty to nineteen. That final Baylor and Iowa State.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: They just the Iowa Staters kind of choked him out.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: It was seven to three Baylor after one quarter. Then
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Iowa State outscored him sixteen seven, fourteen to seven to ten.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Nothing in the fourth they went forty three to twenty one.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: They've found some skill guys. Their two receivers are big, physical,
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: very good. They've got another shifty running back in there.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: We've talked about rock Obeck. He just continues to be
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: really solid, efficient with the ball, and he's added a
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: new element this year is he's not he's not Pat White,
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: but he'll tuck it and take off on you. He's
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: a little bit dangerous now. With his legs, so this
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: is a stiff test coming in next week. No question.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: UCF has now lost two games in a row. They
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: had inflated stats on their run game up until the
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: last two weeks. Yesterday Florida beat him twenty four to
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: thirteen and they ran for just over one hundred yards
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: in the entire game. They remember, they had just stupid,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: stupid numbers. So they're going to into one in one.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: It's a schedule strength matter.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: Yes, no, yes, no, I mean it doesn't. It doesn't.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: It right, you know what I mean.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: It doesn't, it doesn't, that's right.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Kansas is just absolutely reeling. I don't like using that
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: word snake bit because I really never understood it. Their
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: snake bit. They have lost five straight games in extremely
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: dramatic fashion. And the Arizona State game there was thirty
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: five points scored in the fourth quarter, I think five
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: straight possessions, back and forth it went. They lose thirty
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: five thirty one. And look at this, Arizona State's now
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: four and one overall, one in one in loop play
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: they k used one in five.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: Arizona States exceeded their season win total already.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then Texas Tech in Arizona red. That's a big,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: big win on the road.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: They're starting to play.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: That's a big win on the road.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: They win at twenty eight, twenty two, all of a sudden,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: they're five and one, three and zero.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: They got a lot of love in the summer about
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: being a potential dark horse in this league, and then
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: they came out in Week one and didn't look very
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: good and everybody wrote them off. Imagine that hoppy. They're
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: actually starting to live up to that.
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: That's a dangerous team that West virgin will see here
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: later on in the season.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Thanks like one weekend, it's the last game of the
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: regular season at their place, so we'll see what happens.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: So what's it all mean?
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: And real quick?
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, So Arizona loses at home one week after
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: going on the road and winning at Utah, which is
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: an extremely difficult place. So one of the things that's
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: come to fruition is this league balanced. It's just hard
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: to get a win in this league. Anytime you get one,
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: you should be thrilled.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: What it does now is it sets up what Mountaineer
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: fans I think, just absolutely cherish and embrace. We're coming
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: into the month of October. It'll be the second Saturday
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: of October, and you're going to have two straight games
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: at home against nationally ranked teams. You're two to zero
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: in the league. What more can you want? You start
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: off here with the Saturday night football against Iowa State.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: So there's a pep in the step.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Now the question is can you get it done at home?
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Can you get these done?
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: These are the games that make your season, that put
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: the descriptor on what the season was. They passed with
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: a flying grade obviously yesterday. Now can you come back home?
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: The place is going to be absolutely electric?
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: Get it? Yes?
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: Agree with all that. Yesterday was about getting one back,
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: because if you looked at the schedule, I think you
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: had penciled in a win over Pitt. I think you
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: thought you would beat Pitt because you thought you would
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: be better. And Pitt turns out as pretty good quarterback
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: and still probably West Virgini should have won the game
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: except for a couple of couple of oddities in that game.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: But you get it back by winning on the road
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: to Oklahoma State. So now I feel like you're almost
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: even as to how this season should be going or
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: could be going. And now can you take the next
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: step forward by winning what one of these next two
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure you win the next two, but can
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: you win one of two? Bread, can you win two
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: of three?
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you'll see. And again I think the approach. I
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: know it's cliche when Neil says this, but it is
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: what the team should be. Just take one week at
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: a time here, and so you take this next game
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: against a team and listen, here's the thing. If your
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: eye with State. If I'm on the Iowa State podcast
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: right now, I am absolutely giddy. They're five and zero
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: for the first time since the eighties. Guy, is this
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: a program that has not had much success traditionally over
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: one hundred and some years. They're in some uncharted territory here.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: So you've got an Iowa State team coming in that
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: feels really good about itself. But there's got to be
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: an element of that fan base for sure that's going, okay, here,
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: what are we doing here? And you're going to walk
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: into a stadium that's going to be on its ear
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: at night with new uniforms out there, which does add
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: something that's not just a marketing ploy.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: There.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: Those guys Tony will be giddy to put that stuff
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: in there, So you've now got a really good setup.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: This is a difficult place for a really good Iowa
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: State team to come in and play, and this sets
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: up a really fun game. But just win this game.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Because we talked all summer that's five game stretch in
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: the conference to open the season was a beast on paper,
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: and it still is a beast in real life. You're
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: you're out of the gates two and zero on that.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: Just keep coming, just keep playing well here.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: And you're home a home dog with that crowd.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Can't ask for anymore. Yeah, you can't ask for anymore.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I'll talk about airfan. What more do you want?
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: I'd be more, I'd be more worried if you were
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: a favorite.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: What more? What do you think the line's going to be?
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: Center?
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: Well, the look ahead was four and a half. I
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: would state was favored by four and a half. That'll
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: come back a little bit now that West Virginia looks
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: so good on the road, but it'll be close. You
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: probably will still be a home dog at night.
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: Hey, Tony, we don't and I try to follow Brad's
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: lead on this, and that is we don't care about
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: opponents and if they're suffering we don't have any empathy
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: for them. Correct, But you were there. You talked to
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: the Oklahoma State people. What is going on there?
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: They tell me that the loss of Nick Martin was massive.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: They say he's the whole like he's there if you
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: want to go back and mountaineer lore. He's the Grant
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Wiley of their defense. Basically controlled everything, did everything. They said,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: that's a massive loss. And then obviously the bowman situation
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: is very fluid. He can't move at all. Nowadays, you
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: watch these quarterbacks who has success, Guys that have wheels
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: to at least extend plays to get out of the pocket.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: That's going on the fact that they don't have they
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: used to and up until this year, really good blocking
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: tight ends and fullbacks that really keyed their running game.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Not there.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Josh Ford is a true freshman tight end for them,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: and still Water Dave Hunzicher, they're play by play guy
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: told me he'll be an NFL player, but he's just
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: a baby. He's a true freshman and they're playing them.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: So they got a lot of that kind of stuff
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: going on.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: Ok.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and just by the way, nicest people in the world, oh, absolutely.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Nicest people in the world.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: You do wonder though, unless it was just a play,
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: either it was a mistake or a play designed to
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: fool everybody, and that is are down to five and
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: Bowman it's a Bowman run and you go, hmmm, that's interesting.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Actually what he said was thank you. If you're West Train,
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: he said, thank you, thank you for calling that play. Can
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: I do a couple more numbers here?
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: Sure?
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: So we gloss over this a lot, but it's really
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: key number one when you go into any game.
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: But it's just kind of a give and hop, So
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: we don't talk about enough. Those turnovers were massive. You
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: played clean, you didn't turn the ball over and got
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: two from them, right. And not only does that help
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: you in the obvious with what it helps you with,
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: but you saw this last year from about mid season on.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: It allows Neil when you're keeping the ball and you
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: can trust that you're not going to give it away.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: The playbook starts adding pages, right, I think they come
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: over with a three ring binder, and they come back
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: out of the locker room as you go another drive
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: without a turnover, and they bring a new sheet of
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: paper and they pop that three ring binder. You know
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: how you do that or you take the clips on
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: the end and you pull it open.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: You can do it either way, two ways.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you put the page right in there. And
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: then you just did that a couple different times. Unveiled
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: some new plays yesterday, some new formations, some new motion,
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: so that playbook starts to get a little more expanded
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: as you protect the football.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: You know, it's we say this all the time. It's
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: not a really difficult thing to figure out. If you
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: don't beat yourself, you have a hell of a chance
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: to win. Yeah, the other guys will screw So West
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Virginia didn't turn the ball over and they did twice,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: one inside the red zone, right, So it's not that
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: hard to figure out. Just don't beat yourself.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: That helps in a lot of ways. And then here's
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: the other number that we just we don't talk about.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: There's there's been a period of college football about ten
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: years where you didn't talk about this at all because
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: of what the offenses were doing. Everybody's running tempo and
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: know where you're going. That's kind of phased itself out
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: of the football now and now you go with six
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: tight ends and you run the ball, and it's it's
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: a different game that air raid stuff, pass it all
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: the time, go fast really is kind of starting to
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: phase out. So now we can talk time of possession again.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: And for a West Virginia team that likes to run it,
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: time of possession hobby is going to matter. And this
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: just in. When you possess the ball a lot and
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: your defense can rest, generally your defensive performance is a
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: little bit better. Is yesterday a good example of this, as.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Big as I've ever seen.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: Forty two minutes and thirty six seconds time of possession
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: for West Virginia. You kept the ball for forty two
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: and a half minutes. Really good. Oklahoma stayed had it
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: for seventeen minutes and twenty four seconds plus twenty five
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: minutes time of possession.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Hello, how about this?
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: West Virginia's defense played forty five snaps played forty five snaps.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma States defense played eighty one snaps on a hot
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: on a hot day, eighty one snaps.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Also, you want one other one sure on your eighty
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: one snaps? Yeah, you have thirty one first downs? Oh,
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: I know, eighty one snaps. So thirty one plays went
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: for first down on right out of your eighty ons,
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: almost forty percent of your plays went for a first down.
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: And when you have that, that time of possession and
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: that run game going and you got the big lead.
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: I mean, as a Mountaineer fan, you're always paranoid like
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: they're gonna come back and score forty points.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: No, yeah, I know, right, we did it after that, right, Well,
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: you just gotta keep going, get a couple of gota,
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: keep coming. Game's not over. Got half a game left here.
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: And then when they came out and they got the
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: first possession of the second half and they had the punt,
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: and in your head you're thinking they're only going to
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: get about five possessions, right, yeah, So it was it.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: Was actually embarrassing for us how much we did the math. Okay,
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: they just had to punt there. They're probably only going
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: to get four possessions if they scored four touchdowns here,
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: you really just need one more feeling.
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: I get it.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: We did it every possessionsession.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Well I understand.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Well, you know why because you lost a ten point
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: lead earlier this season with four fifty five to go,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: So you're going like you got thirty minutes to go
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: thirty minutes ago, haven't.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I get that, I get it.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: That's why the reality was there was no chance that
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: team yesterday was coming back.
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: You still think about it was debate when it was
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: West Virginia fourth down. We had this big hotel debate.
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: Do you kick the field goal there? Because I give
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: you thirty four?
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: And then well that's interesting, So I used, maybe I
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: want the three points goal.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: I've got deal says no, they give me four downs.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: I'm going forward every.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: Time you use the fourth down.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: I've got these two dudes that I've befriended over the
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: last probably four years now. I met him for the
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: first time in Austin when I needed a stats guy,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: and now they live in Austin, fell in love with
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: the Mountaineers, and they come and work whenever West Virginia
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: gets anywhere, Cloak anywhere in Texas, they're there with me.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: They one drove and one flew to Oklahoma State really
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: and so at halftime, you know, you look at the
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: score and you go like, things are things are going
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: pretty well here thirty one son, I said, but you
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: know you gotta and the guy looked at me and
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: he went like, you're not losing this game.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: So you're like, well, hold on, you just don't know
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: how this works.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: He said, I'm just he goes, I'm just telling you
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: that they can't, and I said, man, but he was right. Hey,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: sometimes you have to have an independent voice in there
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: to help you through. And also classy move Neil Brown end.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Of the game.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, take a knee.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: Take the knee a couple of times. Don't try to
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: rub it in there.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: He respects my gundy a ton, just like, Okay, we're out,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: which sometimes to me is even more. It's satisfied that's
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: scoring an additional touchdown. I'm gonna tell you something could
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: if I want to not going to I'm just gonna
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: keep it right here, see you later.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: Well, you already had the cover. Yeah, it covered in
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: the first five minutes. I already had the cover, all right,
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: James Frank holds you the under the Okay, okay, here's
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: something for it. There are other coaches that know what
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: the spread is. They say they don't know the spread,
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: but they know the spread, and they make sure they
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: score late to make sure they cover the spread, even
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: though that's all they didn't do it to cover the spread,
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: even though that's one hundred percent what they did to
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: do it to cover the spread. James was not one.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: It was already covered.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: James Franklin, Hey say this are your taste buds. Craving
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: for a taste that's out of this world, look no
• 39:59

• 47:28
  Speaker 1: and two after the first five. Reality is that we
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: are still three and two. But I think we're in
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: a better place since we're two and zero in the
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: league instead of one to one.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: What are your thoughts?
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 49:31
  Speaker 1: Just watched the most complete game West Virginia's played in

  Speaker 1: my mind off the days without power in the Augusta,
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: Georgia area with the effects of Hurricane Helene, where we
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: had wins gusting to one hundred. A win today capped
• 50:10

  Speaker 1: it the old way of radio through listening to it
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: on a radio app. Justin and Augusta so they got crushed.

  Speaker 2: Hey, guys.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: I listened to the preview and heard the text from
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: the folks in Asheville, North Carolina. I have spent the

  Speaker 1: day running convoys up from North Georgia from local churches.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: The folks I saw on the ground working for these stranded,
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: damaged people were truly inspiring. I'm from Grafton. I know
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: how determined and resilient people from Appalachia are. It was

  Speaker 1: on full display today. Of course I wore my flying

  Speaker 1: The car stayed loud as West Virginia kept scoring and
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: getting stops. The only downside of the day was a
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: quick stop at Gomart World headquarters. When I mentioned they
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: were out of the connection three oh four, the Queen
• 51:31

  Speaker 1: Hey guys, first time Texter, multi year listener. Semi long
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: text alert about how I met homeless Dave. I work
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: at Fairmont State. Friday. I was invited last minute to
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: sit at the President's table during the Athletic Hall of
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: Fame banquet. I was advised a suit would be too much,
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: and weirdly enough, I didn't have a good sport coat.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: So with three hours before the event, I sped over
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: to Daniels in Morgantown to see if I could just
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: get something off of the rack to get by. I'd
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: been to Daniels many times, would have never actually gotten
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: a chance to meet fine looking FID. I walked in
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: and explained the situation and expecting to hear bad news. However,
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: much to my surprising in for me, he would have
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: a tailored coat in forty five minutes.
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: Line up with a master Taylor back there just ready
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: to go at a moment's notice.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: I was so excited I had to introduce myself and
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: explain to him that I hear about him almost twice
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: a week. He looked confused at first, but all I
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: could say was three guys. He threw me a grin
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: and said, hey, homeless Daves right over there, or I
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: could even move. Fine Looking Phil brought Homeless Dave over
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: and I officially met two legends of the three guys
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: mentioned index TGM I and I got a fine looking
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: code from fine looking Phil on the fly. All in
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: a good day. I'm stoked for the Iowa State Game.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: Hope to get to meet one or all of you
• 53:20

  Speaker 1: range when I overheard someone say we were up by
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: ten and blew the game and pit. I immediately walked
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: over and said, you talking about the Mountaineers, to which
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: he applied, are you Matt from Tulsa. We got together
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: yesterday afternoon for a pregame round of golf, and since
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: we're members of the same club, it won't be our last.
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: He's a great guy, will be at the game.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: Well, this is an old one. We're at the game date.
• 55:15

• 55:26
  Speaker 3: Two? What's the hashtag? Connection?
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: Three four?
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: Three four?
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: It is so those two buddies now are buddies because
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: they're West Virginia guys and they met because of three guys.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 55:36
  Speaker 4: We got the culmination of that is we need to
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: get a marriage.
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: No, we don't just stop there. We're not doing that.
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: We're not doing that.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: No, because when the divorce happens, will pin it on us.
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: We don't want that.
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: Okay, fair t.
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: Dub and Barbersville.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: In game text, Quincy marky Old lined up and erased
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: every highlight reel number nine for Oklahoma State ever had.
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: Did he or did he not? Run over a guy?
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: Before I could finish the text, gig out of the
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: phone booth into the end zone.
• 56:05
  Speaker 4: Was at it. That's a good text to Yeah, that's good.

  Speaker 4: Safety or a corner hood he run over?
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: And that was a lineback guy? Linebacker?
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: Wow?
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: Forget the rushing yards. Most impressive staut of the half.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: West Virginia forty three plays, twenty first downs. Might as
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: well rename it Mylon Pickens Stadium was not expecting this outcome.
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: Tell you that textures are on fire today.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: They are good game, great day to be a Mountaineer Texter.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: I'm sure the show is going to be much more
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: fun after a game like that. Yes, Charlie from Midlothian.
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: Since Brad was not happy with all the Frankie Valley
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: songs popping up on his phone. With all due respect,
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: here are some song titles from today's blowout wind Oh
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: what a Night in Stillwater Walk Like a Man signed
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: by Garrett Jaheem and cj OSU's defense was like a
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: rag doll. That's a Raila Valley song and Big Kyle
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: girls do not Cry. That's big us hunh Yeah, girls
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: don't cry?
• 57:03
  Speaker 4: Was that? Crowds in and out?
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: Tony who Yeah?
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: By the snap, by the snap, I can get it,
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: Logan from Greenborough County. Definitely a great win for the
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: World Champs. Ready for the coal rush. He points out
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: that he says, I've noticed over the last two games,
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: every time a Batman movie gets released in theaters, West
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: Virginia won the last two games.
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: September twenty. September twenty Batman nineteen eighty nine release for
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: its thirty fifth anniversary. Next day we beat Kansas. This
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: weekend Joker too gets released. We beat Oklahoma State. I
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: appreciate the work you guys do. That's bizarre release logan,
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: what's going on in your head? Stop it.
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: Let's give some love to the d never happier to
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: be wrong. Who had the Mountaineers rushing for four hundi
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: on their dance card or holding Bowman and Gordon under
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty respectively, And shout out to the
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: old line doug and Bridgeport, Will and Charlottesville. This was
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: really the first game I got to watch beginning to
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: end with my son who's twenty months old, where it
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: wasn't interrupted by a nap or a bedtime. Was an
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: extremely rewarding experience, even before we were up thirty one
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: seven and a half. Any insight and to how West
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: Virginia avoided their sluggish roadstart problems with the past extra reces,
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: pumpkins and fly rod slim gems from Gomart on the plane.
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: I don't think you can underestimate what that off week
• 58:25
  Speaker 4: meant because WVUA had a chance to get healthy, B
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: had a chance to self scout right. Brad and C
• 58:32
  Speaker 4: just had a chance to make corrections.
• 58:35
  Speaker 3: Here's the other thing that's underrated. Neil mentioned this and
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: even said in his postgame that when he says this stuff,
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: everybody kind of goes yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: can teach too, right, That's one thing that kind of
• 58:44
  Speaker 3: gets lost during the season. You don't have enough time
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: to teach because you're onto the game plan and the
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: next thing, and they spent some time doing that. And again,
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: you can get better. Yeah, you're allowed to get better
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: throughout season.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: They know.
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: Enox week another thing to put into that equation. West
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: Virginia had the off week. Oklahomas Day that just played
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: Utah and Kast five consecutive weeks.
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: Here's the bad news.
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: West Virginia's got three opponents coming up that will have
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: an off week before they played West Virginia. Texter, you
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: asked for it. Here is my daughter yesterday in still
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: Water post game Wayne in Clarksburg.
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: Let's listen in. Here's his daughter on a video tape
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: that they sent in. Wayne's daughter sending it.
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: Hit that again again?
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: Hit that again? Can you hit it again? Thank you?
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: Thanks for having us, Tawn. Thank you very much.
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: By the way, those shirts available at episode eight hundred
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: dot com. Thanks for having us shirts.
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: Those are nice.
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: That's well done, Josh from that that really was one
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: of the ideal. Thanks for having us moments.
• 59:57
  Speaker 4: It was we'll.
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: Go on the road.
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, something neat happen.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 4: And you're not You're not bitter, it's not ghost it's like, hey,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 4: good good luck the rest of the season.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: Thanks thanks for having us.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: Hope you get it together.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: Late in the game, I don't know they say that
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: at the end.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, late in the game.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: They had the Mountaineer fans seats up in the upper
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: right corner of the stadium. And late in the game,
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: that's probably three four five minutes ago, there was a timeout,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: one of the ninety eight timeouts that lasted nine minutes
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: each and all of the Mountaineer fans got up, almost
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: in unison, and they came down and positioned themselves down
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: right athlete at the front row so that they could
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: greet the Mountaineers on their way up.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 4: I thought that was was there an informal country roads.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: There was a lot of country roads going on country
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: roads on the plane. Oh really, very loud, Yes, very good.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: Josh from Bancroft. Super proud of this team to get
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: the w in dominant fashion against a team who has
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: been our kryptonite since joining the league. It was men
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: against boys with three eighty nine on the ground, compared
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: to their thirty six. Me being always finding a negative
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: in any game great and today it comes to our
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: kicking team. The field is fifty three wide.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: For the love of God, a D one kicker should
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: either kick it through the end zone or keep it
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: in bounds. We kick it out of bounds, they score
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: in two plays. We have to correct the issue moving forward,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: since it happened numerous times.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 4: Tony question, I'm sorry you want to finish that no
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 4: go ahead? Is that typically West Virginia tries to kick
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 4: it to that left corner and one of them, it
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 4: might have been the return to kick it to the
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 4: right corner. Do you know what that was about.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: No, I probably just try not to kick it to
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: the left.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: Corner, which is sometimes why it gets pulled out of
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: bounds there they're trying to play. He's had some unbelievable
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: placements too, where he's dropped it right in there in
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: the corner. So you deal with a small margin for air.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: Worry too much about.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: That, he adds.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: Other than that, I like the I feel like we
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: are about to see something, specially in Morgantown next Saturday
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: under the lights. Need the fans to turn out Blacked
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: out show them what home field advantage in Morgantown is
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: on the night game. There's still tickets for that, by
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: the way, really good chunk of tickets still there.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 4: They hold him back on what might be a fantastical
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 4: light show.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: They holding some stuff back. They used, don't know about that.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure I do know this that like there's
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: a one day fall break this week, like the kids
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: don't have school Friday.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: Huh yeah, what.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 4: Do you mean a one day fall break that?
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: I was told by one of the Ethltic Department officials
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: there's some kind of a fall break this week that
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: the kids might go home on Friday day off Friday.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: I don't get it, man, this fall break crap, Like
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: who started that?
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 4: Well, well, well we were in college. You had the
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 4: week off at Thanksgiving.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's Thanksgiving. It's October first, Saturday, October.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 4: You a break. I'm with you.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: Go to school.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 4: Of course, my class schedule might have been a little
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 4: light on Friday too.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: Looking back, Hoppy sold they when he came here, they
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: had classes Saturday morning. Uh did the world champs walk
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: into the crowd and borrow some of those paddles, because
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: they sure whipped up on the pokes today.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: Let's keep up the same mojo for the Colt Rush
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: law man from Furmar did not hear the paddles yesterday.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 4: Chance he is paddling dissipated.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: Guys Night Out was a great success here in Charleston.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: It was great to see connection three to zero four
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: being served on draft. Kudos to whoever made this happen.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: By the way, great win for the mountaineers. Let's do
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: it again. So they've got it on tap down somewhere
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: in Charleston. He doesn't id wear. It was guys night
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: out for three to zero for three guys out. Guys
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: night out.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: Awesome.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: I hope you and georgeburg Brewing's rolling right now on that,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: aren't they. Aren't they brewing and distributing as we speak.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: They've got trucks distributing beer all over the state, maybe.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: Probably running twenty four hours a day, but probably haven't
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: confirmed that.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 4: I'll check in seven days a week. Well, now that
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 4: that strikes over at the docks.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: That's ok. Care of it.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: Get that the longshoreman at the Morgantown lock of damn
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: and come to work, Texter. I think we all need
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: to recount thinking in this playoff era, as Matt Day
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: and Pitt loss As were, they really don't mean a thing.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: This team's two to zero in the league. That's what matters.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: I don't like the system and I think it's changing
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: college football and something at what supposed to be, but
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: it is what it is. Need to embrace West Virginia
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: in the hunt for college football playoff berth team looks good.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: I believe in them. They can win the Big Twelve,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: get to the playoffs despite the pain of losing to
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: our rivals. Signed by p One, Scott and Stafford and
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: I go.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: To the ways to go before the win next week,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: Win next.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: Week, texter. As you may be aware, some of tutors
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: biscuits are named after a person. The Dottie and the
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: Mickey are two examples. I feel a great partnership could
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: include the new three Guys biscuit, a biscuit consisting of
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: triple the bacon, sausage and ham. Pretty sure I could
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: take two of those down. Signed by Craig in Craigsville
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: and really Craig, not really Craigsville.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 4: Can we Uh well, I think that is a reasonable
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 4: I don't want to do Tony here, but that could
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 4: be reasonable because we have a good relationship with the
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: tutors people. Did we get to get a three.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: Guys, three guy biscuit?
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: Efforting?
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 4: Ok, really well, where's home? Get home? Miss dave On.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: Then one difference between your suggestion and my suggestion. Yes,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: The difference in my suggestion of doing a three guys
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: biscuit is we will get a royalty. Okay, only people
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: not getting paid for this podcast or us. There are
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: three guys explictive. Yeah, let's go. Feels like a complete
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: restart for WVU in a good way. Also, is Bragg
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: going to take back his all due respect that Panderbilt
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: now by Professor Vinnie.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 3: No great win? Great single win?
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 4: There were more Alabama fans at that game than Vanderbilt
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 4: fail us.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: And the rat poison huh got him?
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: Jeez?
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 4: How about that.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: Rat poison got him?
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: That may be the magic of Nick Saban because he
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: didn't lose those games right, because he just would not
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: allow allow the backslapping and puffing up and letting you
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: get around. He would crush him, probably right after that
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: game against Georgia so that they could be ready to
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: go again the.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 3: Next week or letdown spots reel yes.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: I brought this up to the other a week or
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: so ago if someone told me this is a smart
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: person that's not involved with sports, but they said, the
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: standard deviation in college athletics is so expansive. That's why
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: that happens. You don't see it in the pro game
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: because they're more mature and the whole thing. But in college, man,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: you just don't know. Robin Reidsville checks in great win,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: all due respect to Vanderbilt, he says, thanks for what
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: you do. Ben from Roanoke, Hey, three guys, you think
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: Nick Malone is the most underrated player in the Big twelve?
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: If not, who do you think it is? What a
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: great win in Stillwater. I can't be can't wait to
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: be at the col Rush game.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: Right up there.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry. Don't offensive line and don't get a lot
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 4: of attention unless they unless their preseason talked about. But
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 4: Nick mollan certainly gets a lot of love here having
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 4: a great year.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: Mike from Morgantown.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: Graded offensive player for the West Virginia so far still
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: for the season.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: Mike from Morgantown, PA, writing PA high, three guys, great game.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: I saw that Mike Gunny was asked about West Virginia
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: choosing to receive the opening kick. I noticed that pattern two.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: Is that an analytics thing?
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: I guess. Neil completely explained that postgame.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 3: And that's what he said. He said there they have
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 3: chosen to take the ball first on the possession because
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: over the course of the year, it gives you more
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: offensive possessions. They trust the possessions. What did Dave Weekly
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 3: had that for eleven straight games they've taken the ball
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: I think and I went back and checked that. I
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 3: think you're seven and four all that time.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 4: Is that what it is?
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 3: I think that's right.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's Tony Weekly had that stat like, eleven straight
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 4: games West Virginia has had the ball force. Now, some
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 4: of that might be they choose it and some of
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 4: it is the other team to first, but eleven straight
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 4: games had the ball first. Yeah.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: I thought it was an interesting that he answers and
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 3: said more possessions over the course of the year.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: With that, our offense will take it. Yeah, analytics he won.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: Jason and Phoenix. See I get Jason in Phoenix who
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: used to live in Oklahoma and confuse with Matt and Tulsa.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: Sure they both play a lot of golf, right, oh, oh,
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 3: professional golfers.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: No, but they they could be practice more than Vjay Singh.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know they're doing it right now. There are
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 4: conference sixtmes in Arizona.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: He won.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: Jason in Phoenix says, well, that was fun. I'm not
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: back on board with Coach Brown yet, though I obviously
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: hope to be soon. But I'm texting to eat some
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: crow about something else. I listened to the I listened
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: to the entire postgame, and coach explained that he takes
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: the ball when winning the toss, a huge pet peeve
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: of mine because you get more possessions. That's fine, but
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: who cares about possessions. We care about wins. So I
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: ran the numbers. Let's just go right to the numbers.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: Since the start of the two thousand and three season,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: West Virginia has played two hundred and sixty four games.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: Of those, they've started with the ball one hundred and
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: fifty one times, and in those games they're an astounding
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: ninety three and fifty eight. That includes some cupcake wins,
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: but not nearly enough to even it out. So I'm
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: enjoying a nice plate of crow. I'm on board with
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: taking the ball now, please inform Coach Brown, as I'm
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: sure he's eagerly awaiting my approval due to my lengthy
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame career as a coach. Also, as you
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: can see, I enjoyed to check these out, Brad, I
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: enjoyed the win even more due to financial investments. Let's
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: hold serve at home the next two weeks and build
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: some momentum. Look at these numbers, so Brad explain to
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: us what we're seeing here. He put a grand.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 3: Down, so they took West Virginia on the money line.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 3: Since they were a dog, they were plus money on
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: the money line. One twenty. He invested one thousand dollars,
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: put a thousand on the line, paid out twenty two hundred,
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: so he profited twelve hundred dollars.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: Well done, all right, Next one? Next one is that
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: it is there? This one? Guys, I thought there was
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: more than one. I think that a parlay. Yeah, okay,
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: here's another one.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: So he hit it twice.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: He hit it twice, but then he hit a parlay too, Well, parlay.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 3: Twice on the money line. I'll tell you what for
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 3: not believing in Coach Brown. You're curely putting a lot
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 3: of money. Maybe you start believing in him. Okay, is
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 3: that the over six and a half season win total
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 3: he had thirty four fifty three, four and fifty dollars
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: down on the over six and a half win total
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: got to get to seven. So he's hoping for a
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: three thousand dollars profit off of that. If West Virginia
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 3: wins four more.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 4: Games, he's putting down series money.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: Oh he wins it on the golf course.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: Good email, good statistical backup. Sure, Probably once in a
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 3: while you should concede that the guys that are doing
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: that for a living full time probably have a handle
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: on what would make the most sense analytic. Yeah, I mean,
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 3: I just think i'd go ahead and go with that.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 3: They kind of spend a few hours looking at that.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: That'd be kind of like Neil going over him and
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: telling them how to project manage the construction of a building.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: Probably.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 4: However, props to him for acknowledging rather like about that. Yeah,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 4: rather than just throwing down to browsing.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, he did lead with I'm not back on board,
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: even though he's just raking in money off Coach Brown
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: just absolutely paying for his golf fashion tickets, his golf
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 3: obsession they're just getting paid for with and the.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 4: Bet and the bets were on the mountaineer's success.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, don't try to don't try to apply logic.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll show up when we go down to Arizona. Right,
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: he's in Phoenix. He'll come down to too soon.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 3: I should good.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, good.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: Look Forward to Texas says that was a nice thanks
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: for having us. Ben in Chicago.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: Rights, However, I'd like to point out to Hoppy that
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: you can take a lou Wendell pontoon boat from Morgantown
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: to Tulsa, as the Arkansas River is navigable from the
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: Mississippi up to Tulsa, and then Oklahoma State kindly provides
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: a shuttle boast bus from there.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: To the campus.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 4: Thanks for the correction, Ben in Chicago, although you do
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 4: have to use a shuttle.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: Gotta come clean on something. What I discovered a little
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: bit of a what would.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 4: You call this?
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: It's not a disease syndrome?
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, it reared its ugly head again last night because
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: last night was the first time we flew this season
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: with the team.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: So I'm I'm just I'm calling it. I F S S.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: Look it up. I f s S. It's called in
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: flight stupid syndrome. So here's what happens.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you eat things with absolutely no reason whatsoever.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you what happened. So I didn't get
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: the postgame meal at the stadium.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: So now I'm good. I'm not even hungry. I'm good.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: I'm good.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: Drive eight minutes later, get to the Stillwater airport, walk
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: onto the plane. Would you like a hammer?
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 3: In one second? And now you're acting like you haven't
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 3: eaten in four days?
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, flight attendant right there when you
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: walk out. Would you like the chicken sandwich? Or would
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: you like the burger? I'd go with the burger, nice
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: warm burger, and the foil.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: Like if you put it in your pocket, you got
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: to take it out. It's hot. So I sell it
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: and I sit down in my chair. Well you sit
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: down in your chair, and there's.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: A gatorade this big, and a bottle of water this big,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: and in a bag full of.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 3: Like cheese and crackers in that bagh grapes.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: Grapes, cheese and crackers, the crustable peanut butter thing, slice
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: of tomato, two slices of tomato, let us for your
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: hammer things. So crush the hamburger. Crush the hamburger. Watching
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: the plane still not moving.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 4: No, no, people still taking their seats.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: Watch the Baylor game. We have monitors on your two seat.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: I'm watching Baylor Iowa State, and I'm awake. Little by
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: little it starts. Little by little it starts, and I
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: start hitting that hazy mode right, And then it seemed
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: like eight different times the flight attendants came by, and
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: each time they walked by they had something.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 3: Else, like those baskets, right, those wicker baskets, And.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: It starts, would you like would you like some cheese
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: and crackers?
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: Yes? Yes, don't need it?
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: Still half asleep, that's why it's in flight stupid syndrome.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: So by the time I got off that sleep, by
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: the time off that I had, I had cheese and crackers.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: That was one time through trail mix bag of peanut
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: M and ms.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 3: Did you drink the bag of pea PEENU and M
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 3: and ms?
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: Then I went into the white bag and ate the grapes.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 3: I set some fruit in.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: I said to myself, how stupid are you?
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: And but the thing was, I was literally a half
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: to three quarters of sleep I'm just putting things in
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: my mond for no reason whatsoever in flight stupid syndrome.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: Here's what Actually, that's not surprising. What's surprising about this
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 3: is you've been traveling with the team for a long time.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 3: I've been with you on a number of these trips
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 3: as I have hoppy, You've always done that. Like, that's
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: not Why are you acting surprised all of a sudden
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 3: randomly on October six?
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: Because you would think as I get older, I would
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: at least get a little bit smarter.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 3: There's no evidence of that one, no evidence that's simply
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: faith based by you. There's no empirical data that would
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 3: tell you would get.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 4: Smart on I think you're lucky they didn't come by
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 4: with one of those credit card applications. Shove that in
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 4: your mouth.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 3: They don't have the Dove ice cream bars, so they
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 3: don't get those anymore.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: Listen, you're not gonna believe this. They didn't have ice
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: cream on the plane.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: I had two ice creams before the game started, during
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: pregame and.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: One at halftime yesterday.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 4: Why would you do that? Why do I do that?
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 4: Coach your throat and everything.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know those are supposed to be treats for
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 3: the win three.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: So, like I said, you know, Oklahoma State people are
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: the nicest people are They're people that do there.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: We're floor up from this.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 3: Is it a different person each time? I hope you
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 3: did the same person so you get through.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: There was a gentleman that came in. There was a
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: gentleman already had two sir, I'm sorry. There was a
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: gentleman that came in before the game said hey, guys,
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: I'm just checking on you. Said, I want you to know,
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring your food up here. And he goes
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: and I'll be back with treats at halftime.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: Oh that's nice.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: He comes back at halftime frozen snickers, ice cream, sandwiches,
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff. Nicest people to leave, Nicest people
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: in the world.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you didn't take a frozen Snickers.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: You know what else I saw for the first time
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: the reality of where we're at, and it's scary.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: So we're literally on the roof at Oklahoma State. Yeah,
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: like literally on the roof, and they had two law
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: enforcement people had two tripods up. One had a scope
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: type binocular and one with.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: A machine gun.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: Really on the on there right there as the people
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: were coming in.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 4: Really just in case, did you have a c or
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 4: were you just boiling up there?
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah? The windows don't open. Those little windows don't open.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: Now they got the little teeny transom windows on the
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: top crease open. But there's you had window closed. They
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: can't They're impossibly you can't open them. They don't open.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 4: That's not good.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: Same thing coming up.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 3: They didn't have a frozen Snickers.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: Are still hung up on the Snickers Joey.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 3: See, Snickers is underrated for me.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: They're good.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 3: I love Snickers.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: You get a lot there, you get that, you get go.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 3: March run on that special. I've never seen this. We
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 3: mentioned it last show. You can get like Recie shapes
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 3: or oh yeah, ideal there're Snicker shapes now hoppy Snickers
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 3: in the shape of a pumpkin. Really at go mar
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 3: check it out on how you passed on Snickers?
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: Well by everything else? I had it going there.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 4: I my gosh, how do you feel? How'd you feel
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 4: when you got home?
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: Kind of like, hey, dumbass, what'd you eat all that for?
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: Kind of like that, Yeah, it won't be the last time.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, by the way, Friday at dinner went Mexican. I
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: never knew about red hell apinos. Excuse me about that
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: long about that big around Nanny Hotter. Well, I just
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: sampled a little and was smoking. But there was a
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: guy at our table that we went with. He said
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: he took a piece about that big just hated straight. Yeah,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: did a did a great job for like twenty nine
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: seconds and no reaction. I went like that was pretty
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: solid and then it busted blowed him up. Yeah, high
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: three guys. I initially agreed with you all about having
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: too many power forward teams on the schedule. However, allowed
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: me to counterpoint. The Penn State game was the biggest
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: for US nationally in a long time, and although it
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: sucked to lose, the attention arguably worth it. Today's playoff reality,
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: the conference record is what matters most Now that we're
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: two and oh, the next two are far more important
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: to West Virginia than the Penn State game ever was.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: And these next two games won't garner the attention nationally
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: we got from Penn State, so with Alabama games. So
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: with the Alabama games, I think what you're left with
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: is a game that will get a lot of attention
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: that doesn't really mean a whole lot for postseason. If
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: your goal is to get six wins in a bowl game,
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: then yeah, go ahead, play ECU. But I don't think
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: five wins against six wins matters in the end.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 3: Here's a counterpoint to the counterpoint though, when you play
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 3: two power fives instead of getting the extra win one,
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 3: you're written off early and you don't get any benefit
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 3: for that. There's no strength to schedule component at the end.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 3: They haven't shown the Football Committee hasn't shown what the
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 3: ability to do with the Basketball Committee has done where
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 3: it rewards you for a power for loss. They just haven't.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 3: So you're better off to rack the wins up because
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 3: because if you win the Big twelve, that's correct, it
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 3: doesn't matter who you've played in the non conference, you
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 3: get the auto bid. But what about if you finish
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 3: second in the conference and you have a second loss
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 3: in there, that's too a power four? Rarely are you
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 3: going to get if ever, they're going to go, well,
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 3: you know what, they did, play two power fours. Nobody
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 3: else did they get in. So your chances of an
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 3: at large not winning the league I think are hurt
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 3: by one less win until the committee shows that they're
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: willing to provide you a benefit for that. But original point,
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 3: hop Westerviginia shouldn't been a point where it's scheduling different
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 3: than everybody else in the country.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 4: Exhigestion' that's the bottom line.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, late night text, I was listening to Metro news
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: is pregame and Hoppy predicted Oklahoma State to win. I did,
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you two guys can have him
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: on the show. And I was talking to my wife.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: We attended the three guys event and she was telling
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: me that Hoppy spend time with everyone except us.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: I think the picture we had made with you all,
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: we're going to take Hoppy out of it. We're still
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: fans of the show. Coming home soon to get some
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: of that beer.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 3: You're trying to get it right. You're not just on
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 3: there picking Westford Inn each week. You're trying to get
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 3: it right.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 4: And I'll tell you why I picked Oklahoma State because
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 4: my gosh, we talked about that game a lot over
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 4: the last two weeks. And you know, Brad, what did
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 4: we conclude is that here they seem like two teams.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 4: You still don't have the identity firmly established number one,
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 4: the line was only two and a half three and third,
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 4: I did not see Mike Gundy losing three consecutive conference
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 4: games with a home game, So that weighed me in
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 4: favor of OAL. Not that I wanted them to win,
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 4: but that that caused me to pick Oklahoma State in
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 4: that game.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: Well, first time they have in ten years, maybe longer
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: than that, Tony, twenty fourteen was it?
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 4: I thought it was twenty two thousand and five, whatever,
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 4: But that.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: We'll get our We'll get a crack group of statisticians
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: and that.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: But that's why I picked Oklahoma State, Sure, Adam and Bridgeport.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: As I'm we're writing this, I just watched Kansas lose
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: with sixteen seconds left. What a wild season this is
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: turning out to be for the Big Twelve the conference
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: preseason picks number three and number four teams Oklahoma State
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: and Kansas now have a combined six league losses. Who
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: had that coming huge test against the Cyclones this week
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: for West Virginia, But I like our chances with the
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: coal rush, Junior and Elki rights. Hey, three guys, looking
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: at the slide that Garrett took not getting the first down.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: I agree with Tony. I also think they exaggerated where
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: we started his slide. Also, however, many times a quarterback
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: will slide late and the defensive player really doesn't have
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: time to pull up and then he gets fled. I
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: don't agree with this either. Garrett has gotten many of
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: these calls, so I think it equals out.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 3: And that's why the rule. You're asking why the rules
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 3: in place, That's why the rules in place. Because if
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 3: you slide late and the defender can't stop and hits you,
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 3: and the defender gets nailed for targeting and thrown out
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 3: of the game, that seems unfair to the defense as well.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 3: So they're trying to balance that out as the reason.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, trying to whistle the play dead.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but as soon as they they're super subjective, where
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 3: does he start the slide? That is a really subjective call.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: Great win for the Mountaineers.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: After watching the game, I wondered when was the last
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: time West Virginia did not punt in a game. Also,
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: while flipping through the channels, caught a little bit of
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: an episode of College Football at one fifty on ESPN
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: where they were discussing college football's top walk ons. It
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: got me to thinking who would be considered West Virginia's
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: greatest walk on. Paul Woodside, Mike Compton, Owen Schmidt, Preston
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: pac Man, Fox. I'm sure I'm omitting some of the others.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: Mike Compton was not a Mike conference.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 4: Was not.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 3: Because Rich is way up there.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 3: Owen, Uh yeah, Rich, Owen's way up there.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: I think Rich Braham absolutely is a walk on that
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: played over ten years in the NFL.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: Uh, he would definitely be. It'd be a good conversation too.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 3: I mean how many. I mean he didn't get ten years,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 3: but he got what five six?
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, full of years in there. Yeah.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, those guys are right up there.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: Mike and Maryland. Thanks for listening.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: Preston Fox's catch of the last punt, I don't know
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: if you guys could pick that up up on TV. Yeah,
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: that sun it was like he needed a welding mask on.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's high when he goes like this,
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: when the before the.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: Punter punted it, he's like he's giving you one of these,
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: Like okay, and that thing was up there.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 3: I might have to pull a baseball player and go
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 3: with the glasses sunglasses underneath it. You know what else?
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 3: True to true to his nickname that we have dubbed
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 3: impact Man Fox. He also had a great pass breakup
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 3: while he was on a pass route. Yes, there was
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 3: a ball that was thrown up that was a jump ball.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 3: He went up and helped break that up so that
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 3: it wasn't an interception. So he watched up.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 4: Well, we should put him on. He should put on
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 4: the defensive stats there.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know that I could have passed defended
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 3: on that, but maybe should add to the havoc ranking
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 3: for West Virginia.
• 1:23:42
