• 2:05
  Speaker 1: One the team will practice now going forward in the afternoon,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: and two the traffic is a mama out there. I tried, dumb,
• 2:15

• 2:19
  Speaker 1: to cut through the mountain layer, like yeah, hey, you know,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: in the summer, I just kind of taunt, like taunt

  Speaker 1: the mountain laier like I drive by, and I just
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: go like, what's up?
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: No traffic avenue. It bided its time and got you
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: today it did.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I went, I go, should I go?
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Mountainlier made it comeback on him today it did. So
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: I went, come on in, came back, come on. It's okay,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: come on up, come on up to this middlesextion. Okay,
• 2:43

• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Of Grumbind's Island. Okay, grumbind Island me. So I just
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: kind of went like, dumb, dumb, dumb dude. It's twelve
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: o'clock in the afternoon. You thought you were going to
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: go through unscathed. So what I did was I still
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I went left, lane, pulled around, went up there by
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the the DA came down through.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Here's the good news. You're new in town. So next
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: year you'll know not to make that same mistake. I
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: know you'll be a veteran next year. Man Man needs
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: to do that, Hoppies. Obvious observations are coming up in
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: just a couple of moments. As I said, healing is
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: gonna happen, and Brad has put together the first batch
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: of over unders the Mountain. Your football team went through
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: its first scrimmage big. They're gonna have two big ones.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: They had one last weekend Saturday. They'll have another one
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: that's coming Saturday, and then like it, it goes quiet.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: The weirdest week of the football seasons next week. That's
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: the weirdest week in our review, because you get the
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: excitement to go for camp and that's a football every
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: day and there's press conferences every day, and the first.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Scrimmage comes right and then like Rich is gonna do
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: media like Wednesday this week, which is tomorrow, and then Friday,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Friday again he's gonna do media. And then it goes
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: absolute green Bank, like it goes to the Green Bank Observatory,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: like there's nothing.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: It's not Coastal Carolina week yet, so you're not previewing yet.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: You're kind of just in a dead we.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: It's a dead week, coach week. It's dead week. Like
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: everything gets all ramped up, and then like next week
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: they just go like so it's like tumbleweek rolls around
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the stadium, nothing happens. So it's that one week before
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: they get ready and then game week will come. So
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: anyway we'll jump into our over unders and who knows,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: we've got stuff happening. We've got a court case in
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Colorado that needs to be decided. Will we get a
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: blanket one year pass for all of those fifth year
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: dudes that will impact obviously Brennan Laurient and his move
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: or will Brennan Laurient have to become eligible as the
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: result of his lawsuits that is pending in federal court
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: here in West Virginia. Same goes with Jave in Buchanan.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: He needs to get the green light. So you have
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: those situations going.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: On, and that could come at any minute. Those arguments
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: are in so now it's just a matter of the
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: court ruling again, So could happen now, could happen two
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: days from now. We're in the zone of decision coming down.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Correct. So, as they would say, while there isn't a
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: game in the foreseeable future, we have and stuff going on.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Got we got a lot of answer.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: There is all There is always stuff. Yes, I mean
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: we're we're in a state now where there are seasons,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: but there's always something happening. More yeah, more so than
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: that to be sort of like this up and down. Oh,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: it's busy time, alots and those things going on. That's
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: a busy Now It's just there's always something.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: This five for five is like we thought we'd seen
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: weird stuff before. This is this is extremely odd that
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: we're still waiting on that yet. Here's Brandon Lawrence already
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: announced his intention to return, as you just mentioned. But
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: how about football. Jason Chambers is back starting cornerback from
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: last year at a position of what maybe need don't
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: have a lot of experience at that position. Jason Chambers
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: is back working out waiting on that decision, and again
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: you just mentioned can get a game in two weeks.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Crazy did something weird this morning. It wasn't weird, it
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: was just it was enjoyably unexpected. Didn't have time to
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: go over for my normal calisthetics over. Didn't have my
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: time because I by the time I drive over and when.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: When did that term stop being used? Because we grew
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: up with calisthenics.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I didn't have time to go over. I went down.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: So I went downstairs and got on the treadmill, which
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: is normally for winter usage, and I got TV down there,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: pulled the TV out, moved it. That's one of those
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: big and put on the fourth quarter of last year's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Mountaineer football game against Pitt and I go, I just
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: want to watch that one more time. I got because
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I kind of you know, you kind of lose. Oh
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: my gosh, yeah, heck of a comeback it was. But
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: like the guys that were making plays, You're going like,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: oh my goodness, and then I'm chortling out loud at
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the pit players going down like that won't get like
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the fake injuries like that, like we knew it when
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: it was happening, but then when you go back and
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: watch it again, you're going like, we're being serious. But
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: like some guys made some plays, right, and like Tye Edwards,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Like what would have ever happened if ty Edwards didn't
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: get hurt last year?
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: No doubt, Like he was running man, like he this
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: dude that game, Yes he was a dude.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: And that just kind of goes into the ether. And
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: like clay Ash, Like clay Ash had massively important carries.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Grayson Barnes obviously catches the touchdown to tie the game,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: but he had a massive third down reception on that
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: drive as well.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Like you just kind of like, right, are you saying?
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: The guys make plays and that's a difference in a game.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And so here you go a year later a
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: year later, right, and it's called completely different flipped roster,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: completely different flip roster. All those dudes are gone.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: All those are going so anyway crop hence the new
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: over unders.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: So it made my calisthenics very enjoyable while I was
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: watching that, did you jumping and squat thrusting? Anyway, Let's
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: do this. Let's start things off here, because he's been
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: gone for a while.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: He's got thought.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, but that.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Things we already knew, God has bomb ready, Heaven knows.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Let's take it quick before obviousvation.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I don't have too many. But what you're gonna have
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: to follow me here on this?
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Why don't you have too many? You've been gone long time.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: You should have gathered a lot of obvious stuff.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna take you back to July seventeenth, nineteen seventy four. Okay,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: in what would turn out to be one of the
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: most significant events, one of the most significant events in baseball.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, I know where you're going.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Dodgers are playing the Expos at Dodgers Stadium. It's a
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: third inning. Tommy John's on the mound pitching to Hal
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Breeden inning. Okay, he's I think he gave up a
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: hit and then hal Breden is up. He throws a
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: pitch and he feels an excruciating pain in his left elbow.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Tries to throw again, can't throw, comes out of the game.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: They look at it, and you have Tony. You have
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: a ligament that connects that is in the elbow, that
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: connects the humorous to the ulna bones. And without that,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: there's this skin and holding it in place. And once
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: that was torn, and that's what happened, it was shredded. Oh,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: you're done. He'd already played twelve years. You're done. But
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: the surgeon, the orthopedic surgeon for the Dodgers, doctor Frank.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Joe legendary, legendary, Yeah.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Had performed this procedure on patients with polio to give
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: them additional mobility.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, he says, here's what we can do.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: We can take a ligament from your non throwing arm
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: in your wrist, and we can drill a hole and
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: your alna and humorous bones, and we can take that
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: ligament and put it in there in a figure eight
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: and clamp it to give you use again of your
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: left elbow. Will I pitch again? There's a one in
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: one hundred chance, the doctor tells them you will pitch
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: again one in one hundred chance. Well, we know what happens.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: He goes through a year, year and a half of
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: rehab goes on, Brad plays fourteen more seasons, plays a
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: whole twenty six seasons, has a ton of wins, and
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: thus is born the Tommy John surgery. Since that time,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: there have been like over two over twenty five hundred
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Tommy John surgeries that have been performed. Think of the
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: in fact, on the WU baseball team, coach Sabans tells
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: me this morning there have been six or seven players
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: on that on.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Our team name Drop. Go ahead, Yeah.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: It wasn't named Drop that have had that surgery. And
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Brad you played baseball, so you know that. Think of
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: the careers that have been extended because there was that
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: procedure and because Tommy John decided to go it might
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: have been eventually anyway, because Tommy John decided to go
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: through with it, and because doctor Job perfected that procedure,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: think about that.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Pretty much probably should be in the Hall of Fame.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah he might, is he No, he had a he
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: had a really he had a really good career. But
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: just for that alone, kind of like John Maddeness became
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: more famous for the non playinger. In Madden's case, coaching
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: remarkable because you don't even now, you don't even say
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: he had Tommy John's surgery. You just had Tommy John.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Tommy johns you just I mean, you just shortened. The
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: surgery's gone. The guy's name is attached to that procedure.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: And of course it came out because Tommy John died
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: this week in Bradenton, Florida. But yeah, you're right now
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: just says, oh, he had Tommy John. But I went
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: back and I thought the beginning, I thought the origin
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: of that was fascinating, and how they do it and
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: how it's become I guess, no surgery Tony's routine, but
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: how it's become very common. And at the time it
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: was revolutionary.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: And hearing about it and listening, the thing that blew
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: me away was how many more victories he posted after
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: he returned. Yeah, like he had the majority of his
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: major league wins after he came in.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: He to that point won one hundred and twenty four
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: games before his surgery finished with two eighty eight. Here's
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: my case, here's my case for Hall of Fame two
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: hundred and eighty eight career wins, so nearly three hundred
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: career wins, which is kind of the benchmark, right right.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: That's the second most wins for any eligible pitcher post
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: nineteen hundred that is not currently in the Hall of Fame.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: The only other one the Rocket Roger Clemens.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: So you take his just his baseball stuff and he's
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: right there, and then add in what he has meant
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: to the sport. I think that's a Hall of Fame career, isn't.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well you would, you would, You're right, Brett, and
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: you would take you would take his record to eighty
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: eight and he played on six or sevent teams, mostly
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Dodgers and Yankees. What he's doing for you would take
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: his record and add in, you know, thirty percent because
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: he had he had the stones to go through that
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: surgery and came back from it to show that you
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: could for other people. That warrants. I don't know why. Again,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I don't understand how the voting takes place, but that
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: I think would warrant. Okay, next thing, Rich Rodriguez coaching
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: record in his second season as a head coach with
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: the teams, He's coached. Huh, Glenville State four, WVU nine,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Michigan five, Arizona eight, jack State nine. So the average
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: in his second year for the teams he coaches head
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: coach seven wins. Just a reference point. Don't know if
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: it means anything, but just just fyi. AP preseason top
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: twenty five is out. WVU has three preseason ranked opponents
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Texas Tech at twelve, Utah at twenty one, Houston at
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: twenty three, and also the wv men's soccer team preseason
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: pick to win the Sunbelt.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: They got some injuries. Soccer does Oh wait, I missed that.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: You better fill me in.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they got some guys. They got beat the other
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: day at the at the jug town's three Nilli three nilly.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: It might have to outscore some people, might have to
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: outscore some people got some.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Utah is an interesting case here, isn't it?
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: How are they in the top twenty five?
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: You tause an interesting case?
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Well, this is interesting. That caught my eyebrow. Oklahoma State, Yeah,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: we got two hundred and ninety nine new players.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: They already won the title. New coach Messa Maker got
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: the Heisman. You didn't see that?
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: And they get others receiving votes.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: They're like close, right, I'm shocked they weren't ranked as
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: much as the national people have been on them. It's
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: that's remarkable, but I'm kind of used to that. The
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Utah one is is going to be a fascinating case
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: out of here. There's a dude that's pretty good. Kyle
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Whittingham was there a long time, and I know they
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: promoted from within. I get that, but that's a heck
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: of a change. New coaching changes or coaching changes are hard,
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: let alone when you've been there twenty years, fifteen, seventeen,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: whatever Winningham had been there. That's interesting. Also saw something
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: yesterday from ESPN stats and research. You add up all
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: the snaps taken in FBS football on your roster. Utahs
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: dead last the least in Big twelve. So you've got
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: an inexperienced comparative to the rest of your league. You've
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: got a brand new head coach for the first time.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: You lost all five of those starting offensive linemen that
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: were so dominant last year. That was part of why
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: they got so much love last year, and you could
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: see why, right those guys rolled in and they were steamrollers.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Lost all those guys. That's just interesting that they get
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: voted in and maybe they deserve that. Maybe we'll look
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: up at the end of the air and go, yeah, they
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: got that one, right. But that's that's a lot of
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: love with a lot of turnover that I'm not sure
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: most programs would get the benefit of that doubt. Just
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: found it interesting that they found their way into the
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: top twenty five.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. Will Well we know this right
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: start of every season, it's guaranteed those twenty five teams
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: that were released yesterday, some of them will have bad
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: years out of that twenty five. There's gonna be some
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: of those teams that are people going to go like
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: they were pre season top twenty five, right, And then
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be some teams that weren't even on the
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: radar yesterday when the poll came out, and they're going
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: to go like, oh my gosh, they didn't even get anything. Well,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. So what you hope if your West
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Virginia is like we were the neglected child and got
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: no nothing at all, and then by the time it's done,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: you're there there when it matters.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Well what you would like, I mean, it's it's easier
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: if you start ranked and then that's this easier than
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: the climb. But what you would like is think about
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: this Virginia Game brand, you know, to win a couple
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: of games and get four or five games into the
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: season and then have somebody start paying attention, right because
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I always want I'll always look for national relevance, and
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: right now you're not get that, but you look for
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: national relevance. And so if you can get off to
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: a good start doing oh okay, what about West Virginia
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: And that's that's what I'm looking for.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's what that program should be. Worried, don't,
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, don't worry about what the polls are. Where
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: I'm paying rational guys picking win three? Who cares? Just
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: line up and go win games. And I do think,
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: as we've said, that Virginia game is a massive swing
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: game and how this season is going to go. I
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: think you're you're gonna have a great idea after five.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: Tell you mentioned you get the first three and then
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: here comes Oklahoma State. You're right like, all right, well
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: let's see you guys may be great. You brought some
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: skill with you, There's no question about that. That's a
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: lot of new parts, new pieces, and guys that have
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: not played at the Power four level. So let's see.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: It might get beat fifty. They might line up in
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Drillia hoppy, but I want to see that and then
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: I with States up next. Oh buddy, you talk about
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: a program that's that's going through some changes. That's a
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: program that had reached its pinnacle. It's best it's ever
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: been in one hundred plus years of football. Has been
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: the last decade and certainly the last few years. Now
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: they're totally in a reset. New head coach coming in
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: from the FCS level player. You've got eighty new players
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: coming or seventy five whatever that is. So that's your
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: first five games if you're West Virginia. Okay, great, bringing on,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: let's go line up.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is coming out.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: As you say, you never know what's going to happen,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: but the schedule is favorable to start to see it,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: or it.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Gives you a chance. It may not be favorable. You
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: may not be as good as some of these as
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: we don't know that now, but I would say it
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: gives you a chance to line up with some games.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: There isn't anybody in that first five that you go
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: say you can't get them. There isn't any of those,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: So I would say, it just gives you a chance, Okay,
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: gives you a.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Chance, well favorable compared to what it could be. That's
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: that's why I use the word favorable.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, got it. Yeah, if you take care of your business,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: you get the Virginia win and you're three and oh,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: and you come back and you beat the seventy two
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: dolphins in your four o, then you'll start to get
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: some eyebrows. As you go into October, people are gonna
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: go like, hey, rich Troy Regez got that thing going
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: again in his second year. Look at these guys. They're
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: sitting here at four O. That's when you're gonna get
• 18:32

  Speaker 2: ate some of those. Those were good.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: So those the food was good. That's good. Probably not
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: as good as seafood as you get in Omaha at
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: that sushi place, but other than.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: That, now and the Midwest for seafood, the second best
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: thing landlocked.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Let's jump into the analytics worship of time to start
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: overs and unders, and it's brought to us as part
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: of our Spreads one Stats by the Conley CPA group.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: They provide value beyond Numbers. Twenty twenty five, a year

• 24:56
  Speaker 1: do it all little pieces of it or all of it.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: They can take care of it. It's the conne CPA group.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: We met up with three of the Conley CPA people
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: last week.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: They went fully loaded backfield.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: They did, they went free across. Yeah, yeah, Kevin, we
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: had Kevin, we had Mike, We had Sam though.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: All wonderful.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Good to see Sam meeting. Yeah. I think she kind
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: of runs the show, don't you. That's a sense I
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: got out of that meeting. Like, I mean, Kevin and
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Mike are kind of there, but like Sam runs.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: The whole opera.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: I think there's any question.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it kind of runs the whole operation, which is
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: you need adult supervision for those guys. All right, So
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: how are we going to do this this year? By
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: the way, any idea what the level of uh, how
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: did we do last year? No idea, Please don't cho
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: someone sent it in at the.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: End of somebody. I'm sure somebody will look.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: I think we did better than bad. I think we
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: did better than like we weren't bad. I think we have.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Over under six quarterbacks as well.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: So that's that's the thing. I mean, not these categories
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: aren't going to be necessarily things you haven't heard. I
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: just I like doing it from this perspective because it
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: gives us a different way to attack what you think
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: is going to happen here. So one of the first
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: one I think is pretty obvious. The second one we're
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: going to get into, I think is maybe one of
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: the easier ones we've done. I think, and then throw on.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: But we're going all offense to start, Okay, going all offense.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: So the next time we're going to do d.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: I don't know, I might offense lends itself to this
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: a little bit easier.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it does, all right, you ready want to jump in?
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Ready? I don't know why you had to get rid
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: of havoc rate. I mean there should be a havoc
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: great one. Yeah you do it. I mean you brought
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: havoc rate into a new light several years ago and
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: then you just kind of like it, like.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Because other people started using it too, that I'll bring
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: I'll bring it back later.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Oh they did, I'll bring it back later. Others took
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: it from you, just I'll bring it back.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: We'll get it.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was a havoc rate was really good.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: When then you took it out, I was like, you
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: ghosted the date.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: We'll come back to it. I brought it out a
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: couple times last year. You got to have some havoc.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Defense needs to step up, have some havoc. I got
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: I had a defensive stat and they'll throw it. But
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: we'll do all offense today. Okay, ready, Ready, first over
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: under twenty twenty six, hoppy, Yes, let's talk Cam Cook. Yes,
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: lots of preseason honors for mister Cook, last year's nation's
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: leading rusher. Well documented our first over under Cam Cook
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: rushing attempts right over or under two hundred and sixty
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: two and a half. I love the hook, two sixty
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: two and a half. Here's some numbers he had, Guys,
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: he had nearly three hundred carries last season, two ninety five.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: And Rich wasn't even his coach. I know, I was
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: just going to say it, but that was very rich esque.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: It was working. Yeah, keep feeding him. So two hundred
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: ninety five carries last year. Had that happened at West Virginia,
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: it would have been the second most in a single
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: season in West Virginia's history. Avon Coburn had three hundred
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: and thirty five in two thousand.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Side note. In two thousand and one, Rich's first year,
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: Avon went for two sixty seven. If you're looking for
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: a first second year comparison there the second one is
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: when Avon popped up. But two thousand and one Avon
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: had two sixty seven. Here's what was interesting in that
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: first year. The second most carries in the two thousand
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: and one season, Brad Lewis had fifty four. How about
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: that that was your next most carries two thousand and two.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: I mentioned Avon's second year for Rich Avon school record
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: three thirty five. Rashid had won seventy three that season,
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: Quincy had won forty and you still had the school record.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: Three of the top five single season carries leaders have
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: come under Rich, and it happened the first three seasons
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: he was here. If Cam gets two hundred and sixty
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: two carries, which would put him slightly under but if
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: he got two sixty two this season, it would move
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Cook into sixth place on the all time single season
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: attempts list. He would be one carry in front of Guy.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: You all remember George ck Allen and his two hundred
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: and sixty one carries in nineteen and thirty three, so
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: this is a big number. It would put him close
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: to the top five and all time carries, but it
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be the most in West Virginia history. Some other
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: numbers here Real Quick at jack State, the team had
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: four hundred and eighty one one carries. Rich's first year,
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: their leader had won twenty four. They had three guys
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: with more than one hundred. In his second year, that
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: jumped to six hundred and thirty two rushes. Two players
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: with one hundred plus. The leader had won forty seven.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: Five had more than eighty. So he was spreading it
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: around a little bit. Hold on one second. Your year
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: three six hundred and twenty six rushing attempts. Two had
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: more than two hundred. Running back Trey Stewart went for
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: two point eighty. Tyler Tyler Huff two seventeen.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: In Rich's first year at Jacksonville State, how many rushing
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: attempts for eighty one and then the second year went
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: to what six thirty two? One hundred and fifty more?
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Got it going right, got some more first downs, kept
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: the change running. You had more plays, and then six
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: twenty six in year three. Let's look at Michigan Real
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: Quick four point fifty three as a team. In his
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: first year, two players with one hundred plus year two
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: four ninety four is a team you have three carry
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: three with eighty plus carries. Your leader had won eighteen.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: That was the quarterback year three, five point fifty six.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: Denard Robinson led the team with two fifty six. Now
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure that year was he still a quarterback
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: or had he moved over to running back at that point?
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: Not quite sure what position he was playing at. That
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: did bring that up last season West Virginia four ninety
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: as a team, see a pattern here, been in that
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: four hundreds in year one.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: He's he's gonna go close to six hundred carriers.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: And then it shoots up. He had no player with
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: more than one hundred last year, a love that was
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: due to injury. Obviously, the team leader during Rich's first
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: tenure at West Virginia had two hundred and forty five
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: carries on average. So I'm setting this over under at
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: two sixty two and a half.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: You've done a nice job in you have well a
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: good price.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: I don't know if any of that means anything, but
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: you bring.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Up that Georgia, that guy from thirty three, that's pretty
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: good preparation on your part.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: Sixty wouldn't be the most would be above his average
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: the first three years of his tenure here, which was
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: heavy run. You've got the nation's leading rusher returning. You've
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: got to rebuild offensive line that you feel pretty good about.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: You potentially have a quarterback that can run it, but
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: that should also factor in to your decision making. If
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: it's Michael Hawkins at the quarterback, does he take some
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: carries from what would go to the running back position?
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: If it's Scotty Fox getting some time, are you gonna
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: throw it a little bit more? Or then do you
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: hand it off more to Cam Cook? You've got a
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: Marii Latimer, I understand who you think could be pretty good.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Martavius Boswell, Chris Tally. I mean they need a couple
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: of totes with the skin.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: But I think we all agree if Cam Cook's cooking
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: in the running games work and Cam Cook's gonna get fed.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Question is how much two sixty two and a half
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: over under he presented?
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Then he kind of he gave it to you like
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: an auctioneer. He just sold the product and said, all right,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: two sixty two is the number. Let's start it off here, Hoppy,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: what you got I have?
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: It's a really good number and really good context. By you,
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Brad and two ninety five last year by him. I mean,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: that's that's it's a crazy number, right. And I looked
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: this up that the most carries by anybody who's like
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: three oh three me he had the most yards, but
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: the most carries with somebody had three h three or
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: three oh five something like that. I mean, some crazy number.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: The average number of carries by the top ten rushers
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: in the country last year was two forty two. So
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: what do you say, return to the regression of the means,
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: regression to the mean.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: I see where he's going.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: And are you are you're talking regulars. You're talking twelve games, right,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: You're not talking a bowl game? Or are you talking
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: to bowl game?
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: That could be a bowl game?
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, if it's a bowl game, that's twenty carries a game.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: If it's not a bowl game, it's twenty two carries
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: a game. I just think with if you have if
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: Hawkins is a quarterback and he's running more and it's
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: it's tough to play holest he's not get a little
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: dinged up, no, or be way ahead in the game
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: and get him out. All these other factors for a
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: variety of reasons, I'm going under.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: I'd like to.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: See him have a either every game and have two
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: hundred and seventy carries, but I'm going to go under
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: because I think that number is a little bit high.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Well done on your part. I think he thought that
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: out right. He was thought that out there. I'm going under.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I think if it was if it was two thirty nine,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: if it was two thirty five, I'd probably go over.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: I think he finishes with less than two sixty two,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: but I think he's in excess of two twenty five.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: I think he's somewhere in there. Now. Again, this is
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: all predicated upon health, as you just indicated, right, you
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: gotta stay healthy. But if he's able to go thirteen games,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: I don't think he gets to sixty two. I think
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: he's in the two hundred's middish. I'm also amazed that
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: he carried it so much. And Rich wasn't at Jacksonville
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: State last year because Rich has been known happy Now,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: you grew up in yes, you knew, you grew up
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: in horse racing, right, and you know those jockeys that
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: like to like to use the whip like when it
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: comes to play college like, Rich has no hesitation to
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: use the whip like he will use a guy, and
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: he will use a guy. We know.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: That's that's that's why, uh, that's why you start to
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: look at this and you say, hey, Amari Latimer, Hey,
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: Chris Tally, Hey, Michael Hawkins. If Cam Cook is working,
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: cam Cook's getting the ball understood, getting.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: The ball a lot, And well he should yes.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: And Rich Rich is big on trust. Who can I trust?
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: He trusts Cam Cook?
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he'll trust until you drop it. Then he'll drop
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: you into grease. So yeah, you're right. I'll go under
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: as well, all three unders, because you should.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: You should. I mean, it's easier to take the There's
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: more things that can happen that that cause an under
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: than over. But this is one of those that I
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: won't be in the least bit surprised if this ticks over.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: You tell me the other way to look at. If
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Cam Cook has a top five carries rushing season for
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: a team in his second year, when you take a
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: jump and this offensive line is able to move and
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: get some first downs and he's comfortable with it with
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: a first year starting quarterback, If it's Hawkins, with a
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: guy that started half a season, if it's Fox, he's
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: still got a little bit in experience there at quarterback,
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: might be hesitant to throw it a little bit. You
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: might want to run it, run it, run it, run
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: and run. It won't shock me. But I'll play this
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: safe number and go under as well, and.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Say, what, it'd be great if he does, right, Because
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: if he does, if he carries the ball two hundred
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: and sixty times, yeah, he's going to gain like twelve
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: hundred yards.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting. Would it be great or would
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: it be better if he is under, which means Latimer's
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: probably doing some work. Hawkins is carrying it really well.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: I almost wonder if it's better for this team if
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: this number is under, giving you more options, which spreads
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: the offense a little bit more Like we're not talking
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: about Pat White and Steve Slayton with some of these numbers,
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: are we, because they were both getting carries. And then, oh,
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: by the way, you were flipping it to Darius Renaud,
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: when was West Virginia really cooking offensively in those particular teams?
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: So I almost I almost might argue with you the
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: other way that it's better for the team's overall success
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: if cook is actually under this number. Means he's not
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: carrying the heaviest burden.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Think he's over two hundred. Yeah, okay, well done. There's
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: a question one over underdone, all went under.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: All under two stunning category. I'm not sure we've ever
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: done this before. Quarterbacks to start a game.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: What you're bringing that you're bringing that pony back out.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: I think this one's interesting because some of these numbers
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: surprised me when I dove into this, and it's I
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: said in the beginning, I think this is the easiest
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: one because you got to put the number at one
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: and a half, right, Because you put it in two
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: and a half, you're gonna say under because there's two guys,
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: so you gotta put it at one and a half.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: What surprised me is.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: This glasses on always getting serious.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Over his time as a head coach at I'm really
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: when I say that, I'm doing the West Virginia Michigan
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: jack State head coach. I'm not going all the way back.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: To what about Arizona.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: No, I didn't put Arizona in this one.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: He coached at Arizona. He did.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: Over those three jobs, averaged one point six starting quarterbacks
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: per season.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Rhet got a start at Arizona.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: I think off to go, but I'll go back and
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: add the Arizona numbers in this is just these other three.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: First four seasons at West Virginia used only one starting
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: quarterback the entire season, used one starter in five of
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: the seven seasons, So even though he's played, he has
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: a willingness to play more than one when he finds
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: a starter he likes.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: The starter starting.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: Two thousand and six was one of the ones where
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: he used to but he would have used just one
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: had Pat not been hurt. Remember Jerry Brown started laid
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: against Rutgers. It was his one start, big win. Jared
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: under the Whites Michigan. One starting quarterback in two of
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: his three seasons now Jack State and last year at
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: West Virginia. That changed a little bit. Two starters every
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: year at Jack State for last year at West Virginia,
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: but that wasn't by choice. In twenty twenty two at
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: Jack State, the second quarterback only started one game, and
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four Logan Smithers started the opener, then
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: Tyler Huff took over. So he's really been a one starter,
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: one starting quarterback. Head coach kind of surprised me a
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: little bit there, so one and a half quarterbacks started.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: And again most of your argument here, you're trying to
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: fight like injuries are in play here, that's.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: The only injuries are in back. The thing, it's all
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: based upon the injury.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: In my opinion, injuries are in play.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: So I'm going over. I'm going over the one a half.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: So I'm going two starters for the season. And for
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: a couple of reasons. One is that I know the
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: prevailing thought is that Hawkins will be the star or okay,
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: but he is not a proven quarterback okay, and Scotty
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Fox still warning. I mean, he came on at the
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: end of last year, so it's not as though you're
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: entering the season with all there's no question this is
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: the guy and we're gonna ride him all the way through.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: So you're not really there. You might be by the
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: middle of the season, but you're not. You're not there now.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: So that's one reason. Second reason is injuries, but you
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: know that's kind of you have that And you mentioned
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: at jack State and Tyler Huff had that incredible season,
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: but as you said, did not start the first game
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: but started the others. So anymore, it's just and Rich
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: I know last year was you can't compare to this
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: year is extremely unsettled. But he Rich will use the hook.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: He will use the hook, but.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: He hasn't much when it comes to starting. He's used
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: the hook once the game's begun, okay, and put a
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: second guy in for a spark. I think that's that's
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: the only reason this becomes more interesting. I think to me,
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: it's not it's not a debate on how many will
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: play it. Simply start the season.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that's I know, I know I'm right.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: And you've got and you've got different dudes here, like
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: you got Hawkins that fits the prototypical style, right that
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: Rich legs right can do it. Both can throw it,
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: can take off and run. Scotty has that experience. He's
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: further ahead in the offense because he's done it in
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: live action. Can throw it, can run a little bit,
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: but can throw it.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: But again, you don't have It's not like Bulger's coming
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: back to start. Then it wouldn't even be a question. Right,
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: you just have to factor in injuries because you're not
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: you're not going with the proven returning starter necessarily. I'm over.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: I'm at two good.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Reasoning there it would have been more challenging of a
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: question if you used how many quarterbacks play?
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: I did that last year, though.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: I know. So I'm going over simply based upon the math.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: As he said, Jared Brown had to get a spot
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: start when Pat White was the quarterback, right, Pat White
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: was the established guy. But what happens to quarterbacks when
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: they run the ball over the course of time. So
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: I'm just doing this simply based upon the physical nature
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: of what West Virginia quarterbacks are required to do. And
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: as a result of that. Now, I hope I'm very,
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: very wrong. I hope it's one dude the entire year,
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: because that means your quarterback's been healthy and the fact
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: that and he's performing correct exactly right. So I'm hoping
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: for under. But I'm going to go over because it
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: is a long season. West Virginia plays its first eight
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: games this year without a off week. That'll be that'll
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: be a tough grind two months straight in. So I'm
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: going to go over. Regrettably going over.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think you after That's why I said,
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: I think that's the easiest one. What surprised me the
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: reason I kept it in. I was surprised how one
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: starter based he has been even though most seasons the
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: second starter comes in that. That caught me a little
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: bit as I was as I was diving through there.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, one point six at West Virginia.
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: You said, West Virginia, Michigan, Jack State, Arizona on average. Yeah,
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: and remember that's with last year's carousel included in that.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: Wow, you almost have to take that out, you know,
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: to get because last year was an aberration, wasn't so?
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: Anyway?
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: I found that interesting. He likes to start, he likes
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: to run it. Okay, next one, we'll stay in the offense,
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: will go most receptions for the team leader, most receptions
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: for the team leader numbered, I give you, hoppy, forty
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: four and a half is the number forty four and
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: a half? Okay, same thing, using the same three schools,
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: Arizona out.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Why are you not including Arizona.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: The team leader as a head coach at those three places?
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: Forty four receptions for the season.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, like Arizona, you put basically put in a
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: witness protection like it never even happened there?
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: What was the number forty four? High point? During his
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: time at Michigan, the leading receiver averaged fifty five or
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: had fifty one catches in the season or averaged in it.
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: Let me rephrase, in his time there, the average leading
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: receiver averaged fifty one catches each season. Roy Rowntree had
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: seventy two in twenty ten, pushed that number up over
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: the last four seasons. If you just take jack State.
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: In West Virginia, the leading receiver had thirty six and
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: a half catches per season last year and going back
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: to Jacksonville State top five reception seasons at those three
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: different schools, he had a seventy two had Darius renat
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: Here was sixty four and oh seven, Chris Henry had
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: fifty two. Vaughn had forty eight and twenty twenty four
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: at jack State, and Martevius Odoms had forty nine at Michigan.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: Doesn't forty four and a half over or under.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: So Cam Vaughan led West Virginia last year with thirty five,
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: but only thirty five in twenty twenty four. Jackson State's
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: leading receiver had forty eight catches. Cam Vaughan Right by
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: the way, Cam Vaughan has left Miami.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: He knew that, well, he didn't. He did.
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: He was toldal to leave.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: He gave him the red card.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: He was asked to leave. Yeah, he was told he
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: could pursue his career.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: He gave him the red card. Please.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: You know you got Jayden Bray back, right, and Jade
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: Bray had seven catches before he got hurt. He had
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: a good year a couple of years ago when he
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: was at what Okahoma State is all right? He waited
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: thirty some I think I'm gonna go He's gonna go over.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go over. I'm gonna go over because of
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: Jade and Bray, and because your quarterback situation. We just
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: talked about it being somewhat unsettled, but it's going.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: To be better than it was last year.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Hey, your running game is going to be better than
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: it was last year, which should open up the passing game.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: Your offensive line is obviously better than it was last year.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: Rich Rodriguez is going to be able to do more
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: things that he wants to do. And I likes to
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: run the football. I don't think forty four is a
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: crazy number for a guy like Jayden Bray, and I'm
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: going over.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go under because I think you've got
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: capable receivers that will spread the wealth. You've got Jaden,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: You've got Prince, You've got Knier from Connecticut, You've got Epps.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: You've got tight ends that are guys that can catch
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: the ball. I think there will be more equality among
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: the reception total. I don't think that I see a
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: guy you just pump it to and just goes. Every
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: game is getting you. So to get forty four, you'd
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: have to have basically three a game for three and
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: a half. That's not crazy, that's great, it's not crazy,
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: but you got to do it twelve weeks. I think
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: it'll be close, But I think I'm gonna go under,
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: going under.
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: What'd you do?
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: Hoppy?
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: You went over?
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: I went over because I think he could have a
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: game where he has two and a game where he
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: has seven, you know.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: And long year.
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: I tend to think there's more than one guy too,
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: Like you're right on Jaden, that's a that's a dude
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: if he can stay healthy. But DJ Epps is going
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: to catch some balls. Mentioned Darius Renaud early got into
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: that sixty seven. Epps is going to be a playmaker
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: in that mold. I don't know that he can get
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: to I mean, sixty seven is a big number as
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: much as you were running it too. I think he
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: got some other guys that are going to mix in there.
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: What's Prince Strawn do, what's Francis do? I think there's
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: multiple receivers here. Forty four and a half is not
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: a huge number though, But again you go back to
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: some of those numbers and Tony we you know, again
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: Arizona's not in here, but their their leader the last
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: couple years he was there. One was thirty three catches,
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: one was fifty some catches. So it's right in that range.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: But you know, vaugh had Vaughan had thirty five or
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: thirty eight last year and a team.
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: That really with a million different quarterbacks and nobody that
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: was established. That's a good point. But then Scotty got
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: got going late and maybe threw it more than you're
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: gonna throw it. If Hawkins ends up being the season
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: long starter, maybe maybe maybe not. You were because you
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: didn't have a running back either last year. Yeah, right,
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: so you were relying on the past. You were behind
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: a lot. You had to throw it maybe a little
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: bit more. I think it gets spread around a little bit. Again,
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: another one won't shock me if it tips over, because
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: I think getting to forty six forty seven is not unreasonable.
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go under. I'm gonna play that under again too.
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: For the reason Tony said, I think there's multiple guys
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: that can be up in that thirty seven thirty eight
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: forty one type of catches.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can see someone in the I can see
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: more than one in the thirties, but I don't necessarily
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: see That's where I'm going on that. Okay, feeling really
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: good about my picks. I think I could go into
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: eat it on these, like get them all.
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I do think that's possible.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. It'd be good if you guys
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: are right that defense. The defenses of the opponents are saying, oh,
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: I got several guys we have to worry about here,
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: that would be good.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: I do I think they do. I think you think
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: from what I see, I think they got guys that
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: can catch the ball and make plays with it. Cook
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: is going to catch some balls, Yes he will.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: I am interested to just see how Rich handles that, though,
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: because if this running game's cooking no pun intended, like,
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: how much are they going to throw it? I'm fascinated
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: to watch what the what the the play calling balance
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: here is.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: The pass is his knockout punch. As you know, when
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: he gets a team defensively on their heels, he got boom, boom, boom.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: He's running, he's running, he's running, he's running it. And
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: then there's like there are half a step slow and
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: getting themselves set defensively, and that's when he pops it
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you're gonna get a wide
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: open dude strolling into the end zone.
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: So if that line's doing what they think it can
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: do and moving people.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: The run game is his jab. The run game is
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: his jabby Doom doom, doom. And then he'll come and
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: he'll reel back and hit you with a knockout.
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: Throw a lot of jabs though, oh yeah he'll jab.
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: He'll throw a lot of jabs. There'll be a lot
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: of body blows in there.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he'll jab you, he'll jab you. Yeah.
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: So there's there's the first three.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: Those are good, you did really nice job, well done.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: Do you spend a lot of time on those? I
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: did good, good work. Now the next episode we come
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: back next week, you'll have more.
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: May not be next episode, but somewhere really I like
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: to have a second round of them at some point.
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: I'll love to see when the next episode is and
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: maybe a guest or two is still floating out there.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: We record on Tuesday the eighteenth, tomorrow, the nineteenth of August.

  Speaker 1: when the rains come in and it's sideways. So guy
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: goes flashers in front of me. I go, all right,
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: I'll go flashers too. Good move yeah, and then yeah, amazing.
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: I mean it's about I mean it. Because of the weather.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: It took me three hours. But I come through a
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: part of that corridor h before they open that up,
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: and I had this epiphany. What isn't you know how
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: they say at one point before the glacial explosion, right
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: that what is now the United Kingdom, Scotland, Ireland was together, right,
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: And this is in the West Virginia, part of it
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: right blow. You know, brokes were connected. They were connected
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: and then they broke off. You come over corridor h
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: there and there are stretches where you look down in there.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: It's absolutely you're in Scotland.
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: You think part of Scotland got left behind? Is that
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: what you're saying?
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: It busted? It's Scotland, Like you tell me if that's
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: not true. You go in there and look about and
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: talk about this glacial stuff which I don't study, but
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: I just know it's through and you look at it,
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: you feel like I can totally understand that that once
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: was all together and now it's just separated by the
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: Atlantic Ocean. And yeah, it's unbelievable up there.
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: That's gorgeous.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's surreal how beautiful it is. So then
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: I'm zooming through there and go through, you know, go
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: through Grand count I saw Grand County, Mulch's biggest multch
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: company like in the world, like legitimately. And then it
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: went through Upper Tract. Wow, you were the home of
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: Jeremy Bodkin, the unincorporated Upper Tract. That was cool. And
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: then I met some great people at the school, their
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: husband and wife that are teachers that also run a
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: place called cool Hollow Maple Farm, one of the biggest
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: maple syrup providers in the state. Sam and Rick her
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: husband were there, their teachers, but they made me, gave
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: me syrup, some maple clusters and some maple peanuts and stuff.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: It was fantastic, just wonderful, just beautiful, wonderful pif wonderful people.
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: It is. It's a beautiful part of the state.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: It just is.
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: It's kind of isolated.
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: Me.
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: You have to be going, you have to be going
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: there to get there, if you know what I mean.
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: It's not like all we went through Pendleton County on
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: O way to.
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: Well think about you're basically two forty five from from WVU.
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: You're an hour from James Madison. Yeah, I mean, you're
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: that close to Harrisonburg and the whole thing. But you
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: know what, here's something else I never knew this. You
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: go through Peterstown. Do you know on every street sign
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: in Peterstown the flying WV is on every street sign. Really,
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: it's the flying WV and then the name of the street.
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: First I've heard of that.
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: How wild is that? I mean, you talk about weird
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: in to Welch, Martinsburg, to Maywan, and all points in between.
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: Like it's for real you now, I mean, that's that's
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: your that's what you say, that's your thing, that's your hook.
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: Maybe you could work in Pendleton County somewhere somehow.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: Then Princeton to Pendleton County, right.
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, because there's this great central part of the
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: state north central East. Yeah, it's it's both north, south,
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: east and central.
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: Know what else it gives you, You know what else
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: it gives you. It gives you again and it's good
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: to go out and do it. It gives you on
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: believable appreciation from out in your fans that make the
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: trip to con of these games. That I mean it's
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: an excursion. I mean they could go out, they could
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: go they could go an hour and go watch JMU play.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: But instead they come up the road and they go
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: into West Virginia. They go cut through Maryland, get to
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: West Virginia and watch it. I mean, that's a deer

• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: you weren't here when Ross was here. No, I'm paraphrasing,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: but he said something about if you celebrate one thing,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: people automatically attack the opposite. And I feel that's what's
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: been done with Ren Fredo. Why not celebrate regular red
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: sauce on chicken parm and celebrate white sauce chicken parm?
• 1:05:48

  Speaker 2: Let's see here, by the way, Rinfredo would not have
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: taken off if you hadn't made such a stink about it.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: Good God. Here's another one. We're at an Italian restaurant

• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: line into the a Kentucky restaurant. The guy googles ren
• 1:07:28

• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: says this is what Google says. The AI comes back
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: and it says this. The ren Fredo is a viral
• 1:07:36

• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: made with creamy Alfredo sauce instead of standard red mare
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: and Aero sauce. And then underneath that there's a Facebook
• 1:07:50

  Speaker 3: It appears well, we don't have to go deep in
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: it because it's gonna be dated by the time you

• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: Not to have that iesore on the uniforms.
• 1:10:40
