• 0:49
  Speaker 1: has not slept. He's been on a like a four
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: day bender in order to get the analytics ready for
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: spreads on stats. This is it, folks are West Virginia stated,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: West Virginia, Robert Moore?
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Did you have trouble?
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Did you have motiv Look the players need to be motivated.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Were you motivated to dig deep into Robert Morris?
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Their question?
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: Very motivated?
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Okay, how do I do that?
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: They have fifty some new players West Virginia. What analytics
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: am I using? This is hard, It's got stuff. I
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: don't know how deep I went.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I just still looked.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: But I do have conviction.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: I do have some numbers that we'll get into a
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: round around experience again Okay, West Virginia. When we get
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: into spreads on stats, I'm continuing to harp on this
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: experience thing because I'm just fascinated to see how that translates.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Does a translate to lest wins? Does it not matter?
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Does West Virginia overcome its lack of experience? We'll get
• 1:46

  Speaker 1: stats brought to us by Conley CPA Group providing value

  Speaker 1: beyond numbers, and Brad's gonna have some numbers for us.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: And again, these are difficult to do for a couple
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: of reasons. One, it's the first game of the season,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: so you don't have any kind of trends based those
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: off of. And then with this new world that we're
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: living in, as everyone knows, West Virginia has seventy plus
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: new players and Robert Morris is forty plus new players,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and they also have three new coordinators at Robert Morris.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: So this is this is as close to a pickup game.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: It's really wild. I mean, I know that's been the
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: theme of us talking all off season about West Virginia's
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: all the changes. But we had a good conversation on
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: sports Line with Bernard Clark, the head coach at Robert Morris,
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: and he said he fifty fifty three, fifty plus new
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: guys are coming in. Their quarterback has played some He's actually,
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: this is this is weird. We're talking about new rosters.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: This is a fourth year at Robert Morris for their quarterback,
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: but he hasn't played a ton, So yeah, I dug
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: in there and tried to find a couple numbers, but
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: we'll have to mash through that.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Ethan Shine the quarterback over there, right, that's his name, right, No, Zach,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Zach Tanner is the quarterback. Yeah, Ethan Shine
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: is a running back, my bag, you'll get it.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: You got Xavier Goldburn, you got him down on your
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: charts running back.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I believe ring A Bell I believe, yeah, believe he
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: might be on there.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Their coach is interesting. Played for Miami.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I remember him.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Back in the mid eighties. Now he's played at Mountaineer Field.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: But it was just one snap, came in, got a stinger.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: I remember happy as back. He was the backup to
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Jerome Brown.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: That was that team was loaded.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: So I went back and looked at that roster of
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the team that he came in on. That was the
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: year Testa already won the Heisman. That was the year
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: they have Alonzo high Smith in the backfield. Michael Irvin
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: is one of the receivers, one of the great Blades
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: brothers Bernie Bennie whatever. It takes a lot of blades
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: down there. As you mentioned, Jerome Brown, the late great
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Jerome Brown was on that team. They played for the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: World Championship that year, and that was in the Fiesta Bowl,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: and that was when Penn State's linebacker Pete Giftopoulos intersect
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: up to the ball late, ran it right to left
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and scored. Remember it like it was yesterday, and they
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: beat the Hurricanes to win the World Championship.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: That was the famous game when Miami got off the
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: plane in the battle fatigues right the Camo. That was
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: a big sture. Yeah, I think that was controversy of
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: the day.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: A lot going on there. That was a that was
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: a wild time, and Miami rewrote a lot of rules
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: in regards to conduct on the field, some sportsman like
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: stuff because of what they were doing. They were really
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: they were really like the Johnny apple Seed of pointing
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: after getting a first down. Yeah, and they give you,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: they give you the whole thing. And then celebrations in
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the end zone all chilled out because of those guys.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: They changed a lot of stuff.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I can still see Testa Verdi with a with a
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: rope to Michael Irvin over the middle mm hmm.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Elmwood, New York. I believe Vincent Testa Verdi like Elmwood,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: New York is where he was, So.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: What's wild Clark? Clark was a backup on that team,
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: played like six years in the NFL.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: M HM.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: So that tells you pretty got pretty good depth. But interestingly,
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: he was also the defensive line coach for South Florida
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: or us F. What do they like to be called? Now,
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: UCF is not Central Florida, it's UCF. I assume USF
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: is what they go by South Florida.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: CRAL these any these acronym teams. I just know this.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: If you say it wrong, they'll come to your house
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and knock on the door there.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: So I've lost track of them. But he was a
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: coach on that staff in two thousand and six here
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: in Morgantown. Then he was a linebacker coach at pitt
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: In twenty ten, West Virginia rolled into hines Field, laid
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: it on the Panthers thirty five to ten, lined up,
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: said here we are.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: So that's how he got to Western PA.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Was one there into his He was a great interview.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: It was an enjoyable Yeah, I was kind of talking
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: to him. Understands what they are at that level and
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: what he's selling and what he's trying to do. And
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: Hopy knows he's gonna lose guys, knows he's gonna have
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: guys that are going to produce and then they're going
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: to go on somewhere else and he's gonna have to
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: go backfill from there, and he goes to the D
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: two ranks, the D three ranks, gets some high majors
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: that are dropping down. So has a good perspective on
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: it that I.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Mean, as long as you understand that, because that's what
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: it is now. I mean, they're the new Jucos.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: If you don't understand it, you'll quit. If you don't
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: have that in perspective as a coach, you'll go like,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not doing this. One thing that he said that
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: was really interesting that was old school. Is this used
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: to happen here too. That some of the players the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: first time he sees them on the field actually practicing
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: is when they start in August. And that's how it
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: used to be here, right when kids would come in
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: either true freshman or junior college players. And now they're
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: here like all summer, all the time. But like for him,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: he literally had guys he had not seen in action
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: until the start of camping.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Why if you see him in practice. They're wearing name
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: takes serious. Some do, I'm just teasing.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Some do. And their scholarship is forty five Is that
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: what he said?
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: I think that's it was. Yeah, it is, yes, And
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: they're going back into the AEC, which everybody will have
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: similar scholarship levels to them.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it didn't make a whole lot of Sun Belt
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: is where they were Atlantic Sun or Big South, Big South,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: something with something with one of the planets, right, so
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: they were in one of the leagues with one of
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the cosmos. I don't know exactly Milky Way.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: I think they're picked to finish third in the league though.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, seven and five last year and picked to finish
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: third this year. But they've just they've got a big rebuild.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: Four of five offensive linemen. The quarterback has been there
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: a long time but hasn't played a whole lot. They're
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: plugging in new running backs. They've got a couple of
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: defensive linemen returning, but they're pretty young up front. Other
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: than that, he thinks they're back end. Maybe the best
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: part of their team, their back seven, they've got some
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: speed in the defensive backfield. But he's going into it
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: kind of like we're talking about Western eag He's not
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: quite sure what they're going to be able to do
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: or what they're going to give West Virginia.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: But isn't it I was thinking this morning, isn't it
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: so much better that you're opening against Robert Morris instead
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: of Penn State?
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: That'd be affirmative.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I know the fans love that, and
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Pat mcavie was here, Buddy was fired up. But realistically,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: you want to play Robert Morris or somebody like Robert
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Morris in game one. You don't want to play Penn State.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: You don't want to play Alabama, and thank goodness, Alabama's
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: off the schedule.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Brand you do.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: You don't want to play those games. You can't realistically
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: play those games.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: All due respect Robert Morris, duarback well, And that's one
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: of the things you're watching this. This becomes a chance
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: to see what you have, right, you should be able
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: to line up even not knowing what you have and
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: handle Robert Moore. So yeah, I think it's a really
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: good way to start. It's especially a good way to
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: start for this particular rich Rod Version two roster when
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: you're just trying to figure things out and see what
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: we went through. The inexperience of the offensive line in particular,
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: that's the first part you're going to watch, right, you
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: see how those guys are able to do. Can they protect?
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: Can they run the ball? Can you run the inside zone?
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: So you're going to watch this offensive line then first
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: and foremost.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Very much so you know, in basketball you can get
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: a good idea of how good you are in basketball.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Take this in context, Now, how bad you beat a
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: team non conference? Follow me, in non conference? If you
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: have a buying game, you know that ninety plus percent
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: of the time you're going to win. It's how you win,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: oftentimes as a great barometer indicator as to how you'll
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: do when you start to play more challenging teams or
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: teams within your conference. If you struggle to beat, with
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: all due respect, some school I'm not even gonna say
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: a name, then you go like hmm, and normally that
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: does translate. Now you go out there and you are
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: absolutely boat racing the team. It's also a pretty good indicator.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: I think it's real hard to see how good you are,
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: But I do think you can see if the struggle
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: is coming, and I think that's what you get out
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: of these games. So that's what you're watching tomorrow, is
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: what Westford Day is able to do. And quite frankly,
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: the score doesn't much matter other than that. If this
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: is a twenty four to thirteen game and we're coming
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: in here Sunday and it was nip and tuck until
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: the fourth quarter, we're going to say, well, you better
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: buckle in. It's going to be a tough season. If
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: you go out and win forty nine, seven, ten, fourteen, seventeen,
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: that doesn't much matter to me. It's it's just can
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: you pull away and control this team? And then that
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: doesn't mean you're gonna be good, but it gives you
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: a chance to probably not be bad, I think is
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: what it tells me.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: If history is an indicator in games like this, you
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: do win forty seven ten, forty nine to fourteen, something
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: like that, but you come away or the coaches say,
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: we're happy to have won the game. It was great
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: for the fans, but we have a lot of work
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: to do. There were a lot of mistakes.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: We gotta do it.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: We gotta improve that. I think you could write that
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: in now and be ready for the story.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: So some indicators are if it's third down and short
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: yardage and it's like third down and two, third down
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: and yard and a half, you get stuffed. Oh yeah,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: and you got stuff? Can you move them? And it's
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: happened a couple of times during the course of game. Yeah,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: probably got an issue. Yeah, probably got a problem.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: That's why the whole offensive line we're watching interior wise,
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: can you push up the middle and run up inside, right,
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: because that's that's what this offense is going to be
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: predicated on. If you can run inside now I got
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: to squeeze. Now the outside starts to become a thing.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: So that interior offensive line you're watching, and we'll watch
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: the skill and all that and Jaheim and the running
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: backs and all that, But that interior offensive line in particular,
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: how do they hold up? Flip over to the defense too.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: I am ready to watch this actual defense play. I mean,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: I am tired of hearing Zach Ally's defense is aggressive.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: They're going to bring it from all over that. Let's
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: see it. Let's see how this this works. Because pass
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: rush last year, guys, was a problem. I'll give you
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: a few numbers here, a few numbers. I don't know
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: if there's a spread, so maybe a bonus spreads on SATs.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: You can play the music if you want.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I'm Zach All. You know what I'm doing for my
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: first play call drop drop eleven.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: I'm not I'm seventeen guys. I'm throwing three guys off
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: the side.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: I'm going to do that right, I'm not going to
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: show you everyone.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Everyone been talking about his blitz. Everyone thing he just
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: should one defensive lineman and drop ten come get him.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: West Raina was twelfth in the league last year in sacks,
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: So again that all works together, right, hop If you
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: if you can't get to the past or the passer,
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: then your coverage is in more dire straits. And we
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: saw it last year. He struggled in all three areas.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: This was wild though I knew this, but I guess
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: I'd forgotten because we hadn't talked about it since west
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: fore last played seventeen years ago. Western He did have
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: two players in the top six of the league last
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: year in total pressures, Sean Martin and t. J. Jackson.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Jackson was a really good year in a bad, bad defense.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: But then you didn't have another individual in total pressures
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: in the Big twelve until you got to number forty
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: in the league. So you just weren't getting multiple formans.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: I know, we remember that the starting quarterback from Robert Morris. Again,
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: I tried to give you some numbers. Shit, I am reaching,
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: I realized, remember was Zack Tanner. Zack Tanner, I'm seventeen.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: I'm happy, I'm reaching that. Don't want to give you
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: some numb.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: It was just kind of spreads on stats.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, probably should just say, yeah, did you play the music? Second?
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: I thought you didn't to.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Do something else first. You know who's a large human being?
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Edward Kelly Big Oh my gosh.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: Big Hunter's been lobbying for him to get off the
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: bus first for about six months.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I watched him the other day in practice, and he
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: looks like, again put this into context, he's got an
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: NFL body, got an NFL body standing at the end
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: of the line. You go like, that's a large humanoid.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: Six eighty five two something like that, every.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Bit of it. And and and he's showing he's run
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: some things down to the sidelines.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: Can he be great that that's A. That's one of
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: the questions where where the spectrum does he fall.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Let's not say great for anyone. Let's just say can
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: they be good? Can he be good consistently? That's what
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: I would ask.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: I think he more than good, maybe maybe great. You
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: need to be somebody's got to be very good getting
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: to the passer. Yeah, can he be very good?
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: I think he can be very good.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: That's an important one.
• 14:41

  Speaker 4: Will be times we come on during the season, I'll
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: say I got some good stuff here. This is probably
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: very average.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure what you can I'm not going to
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: fault you on. I'm not going to fault on that
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: because I got numbers for you one and twenty. So
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: if West Virginia has seventy new bees and you said
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: RMC fifty plus has fifty plus, it's over one hundred
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: and twenty new bodies are going to be think about this.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Put that in context. Saturday, you're in the stands or
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: you're watching the game, and you're going, like, over one
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty of those people in uniforms today were
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: somewhere else last year and not at these schools.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: Crazy, Yeah, And so that's why I'm just going to
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: give you a couple of stats on this particular game
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: that I want to dive into. West Virginia's depth chart.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: There was one released earlier this week that came out.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: I want to go through it a little bit and
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: attach trying to attach some of these this inexperience put
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: some numbers to it, okay, because I think this is
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: fascinating hops as we enter this new era. And I know,
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: I know seventy a year is on the extreme end,
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: that's the that's the top couple in the country. I
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: get good recruits, but fifties maybe not all that unusual, right,
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: So we're probably entering a new world where this is
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: going to be more common than not. But it really
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: it turns the college football prediction business kind of on
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: its ear because what's always been done is it's based
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: on returning production. Right, That's been the that's been the
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: anchor to everybody's prediction on well, who's going to be good,
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: who's projected to finish by the way, God.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: There's many guys.
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: It's the whole, the whole.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Parodi'm could be getting shifted here. So there's a lot
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: of offshoots of that conversation that will save till off season.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: But one of them is what does this returning production
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: or lack thereof mean to your record? And so we'll
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: talk about the lack of experience and then we'll have
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: to watch out the season, of course, to see what
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: that means for a record. First, I'll just give you
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: one one stat on the pressure that we were just
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: talking about. Can West Virginia's pressure be better than it
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: was last year? The starting quarterback Tanner from Robert Morris
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: in his games on movies Nate huh, Nate zach Zach,
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: I baited you.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Seventeen.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he was pressured on twenty one percent of his
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: dropbacks last season, which is as Yeah, now, add I,
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Robert Morris has four of five new offensive linemen and
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: the fifth didn't start the whole season. So I'm back
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: to can Edward Kelly get some pressure? Can our guy
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: Eddie V get some pressure? Fred Perry coming off the outside?
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: Like multiple guys here? What's the defense able to do
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: pressure wise on this quarterback?
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Probably the only team in the country that has
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: two ds on their defense. That's an old school name.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: That's an old got. Edward Kelly and Edward Vester.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: Both go by Eddie though, right, Yeah, I mean Eddiev
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: Eddie Kelly V. Yeah.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I got. So that's my big number.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: So you can keep this cat up, is what you're
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: saying he.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: Was able to last year in can West Virginia do
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: it again?
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Guys?
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: This game is way more about West Virginia than it
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: is Robert Morris. Right, we want to see what West
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: Virginia has and I think that's one of the pieces
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: on the offensive side. And we I feel like we've
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: spent seventy five percent of our time talking offense. And
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: you do that with a rich coach team, right, but
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: this defense is just wildly fascinating. It was the downfall
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: of the team last year. Hope they were brutal?
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah right, yeah?
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: Are are they better this year? Who are the guys?
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: Who are the standout guys? So start with rushing the passer?
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm gonna keep my eye on first.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: Okay, Okay again, Yeah, it's a good set.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: We could probably also do just a little teaser. Look,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: we got those things teasers like how many Mountaineers have
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: multiple tackles behind the line on Saturday? You want to
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: do an over under TOL yeah or TfL, I mean
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: TF for lost. Okay, the numbers two and a half.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: Over total for a team over over.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Over, I'm saying two no, no, no, no, two.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: And a half players have one. That's okay, Okay, over.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: I didn't do I did not do it.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: I did not Dude, they handle the over unders. What
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: are you trying to.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Say, I'm trying to say, you have I'm a player.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: What are you trying player? I am? I'm I'm a
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: red Carico? How many and Recarco finishes the game with
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: two TFLs? Okay, how many Mountaineers have two or more
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: TfL so individually.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: I just said, you said two and a half players
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: have to.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Have two or more over So you think there'll be
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: more than two players that will have more than two
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: or more TFLs.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: Yes, okay, Well that's a lot that's aggressive. Well, I've
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: told the defense is aggressive.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Well, and you figure that Robert Mars is going to
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: be behind, and you figure they're going to have third
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: and long, you figure they're gonna have a lot of
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: passing situations.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: All this is based on the right speculation.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: But inexperienced offensive line, can you can you get some
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: penetration stop the run game behind the line of scrimmage?
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: I'll take over that. Like to see three guys on
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: this defense have and that's a lot that's aggressive. I
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: realize We'll say give me over. Okay, all right, Tuck
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: roster depth chart here from him does. We talked about
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: the inexperience of the offensive line, the starting group. We
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: projected who the starting offensive line group would be according
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: to the depth chart, that was the five So we
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: went through that on the last episode. If you start
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: to go down the two deep that's listed, I think
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: you can begin to see why what I just said
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: college football expectations are based on returning production. West Virginia's
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: got very little. Hence the five and a half win total,
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: the two and a half conference win total that DraftKings
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: has posted out there. That's part of the reason why
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: I think you're seeing these low expectations. There's thirteen players
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: on the two deep, if I did my math right,
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: thirteen players with thirteen or more career starts. So just
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: thirteen of those guys offense and defense on this roster
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: have started to what would equate to more than one
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: season of college football at any level, at any level
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: just thirteen games started, or more more than twelve. Of
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: those thirteen projected starters are Chase Wilson, the aforementioned Eddiev
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: Bryden Siders, Michael Coates, Walter Young, Bear, Jeheeme, and Ali Straw.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: So now we're at seven guys that have played the
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: equivalent of more than one college football season. Four defense,
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: two offense, one special teams. Niche it down further, there's
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: three guys of that list that have those thirteen starts
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: at the power four level, just three, all of them, Eddie,
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: v Jahem and Ali. The one I got checked tit
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: Keys Crawford. Did he get that? I don't think he
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: had that many at Arkansas starts. Look that up while
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: while I'm checking it. But I've got three that have
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: done at the power four level. You take Ali Straw
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: out of that hobby and what he left with two
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: non specialists starters that started more than one full season
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: at the power four level. It's not a lot of experience.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: But what does that mean? Because I'm going to come
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: back on the basketball roster and basically give you the
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: same numbers, You're going to be a roster filled with
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: guys that haven't played at the power four level yet.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: And I've watched a lot of basketball practice already. I'm
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: optimistic about how the talent level looks for West Virginia basketball.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: So is there a difference though?
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: One you don't need as many guys, right, there's more
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: players you need here, and we have to see what
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: the rest of the league has. But I think West
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: Virginia basketball showed last year you can bring some non
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: power four guys in, but they had one really good
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: guy with P four experience and win and be an
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: nca tournament who were until you got an all time
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: screw job.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Of course you knew that Tykeias Crawford nine starts.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: Nine starts, So you have some real inexperience on this
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: team in terms of guys that have not only played
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: college football, had started games, but at this level. But
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: does that mean anything? What's that mean?
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: I think it means a number. No, I don't, No,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: it's not me. I do not think it's meaning less
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: because experience. Let me speak in generalities, I do not
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: think it's meaning less because experience matters. Not always, but
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: experience matters. I mean, talent is the keep. Experience matters,
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: but you just don't know till you see. But is
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: it significant generally speaking? Yes, that is significant, right, I.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: Would think because most of the times what we do
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: and that's why I started this with, is this gonna
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: take the whole paradigm and flip it on its head
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: because normally you start with you watch guys that have played,
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: and they might have struggled a little bit, But what's
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: the best thing about a freshman They had come a
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: sophomore and sophomoorre has become juniors. And then you say, okay,
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: you lived with their mistakes when they were young, and
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: they grew up and they got a lot better. And
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: basketball last year again, I'll point to basketball. Last year,
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: you were you were successful enough to be an NCAA
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: tournament team with very little power for experience and no
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: returning experience on your team, and you still put together
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: a good run. We just haven't seen it in football yet.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: We haven't seen the turnover, the roster turnover that Rich
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: is trying to do this with. And so many of
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: these guys in the too deep are being asked to
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: one come up a new level and two start and
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: carry the load when they haven't shown that they've done
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: that before. Doesn't mean you can't, right, doesn't mean you
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: can't because we're going to come back in here each
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: week and they'll be guys that we go. I'll tell
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: you what you know, it looks pretty good. And Michael
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: Coach looks pretty good. Like there'll be guys that surprise
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: us and play really well. West Virginia football has also
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: seen guys come from the mid major level and pop
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: and be all conference guys, And we do that list
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: all the time. We thought that was going to happen.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Last year.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: It didn't with those defensive guys, but we've seen that
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: over time. Or Beanie, but you're asking instead of asking
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: for one or two on the defense, you're asking for
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: is there six or seven of them that can do that?
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: So anyway, I think that's just a fascinating look at
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: what's this mean moving forward in terms of how does
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: this particular run that is inexperienced, how does it translate
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: into wins? What does that mean for the number of wins.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna bet I'm gonna bet that it's because most
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: things end up on a bell curve. So I'm gonna
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: bet it's a bell curve that a couple guys emerge
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: and you go pretty good, guys are pretty good, and
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: some guys like, okay, they're fine, and a couple guys
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: aren't sure. I mean, the bell curve of life. Typically
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: it's inevitable that'll happen.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: And it's also as we start kind of tie in
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: last shows conversation, it's interesting as we start version two
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: for rich Rod, how often we refer back to his
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: year one and how far that program came from what
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: it looked like in year one to what it became
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: when he walked away, right, you were on the brink
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: of a national championship. And so it'll just be interesting
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: to watch in the years that come when we look
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: back at this particular group, Remember that twenty twenty five
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: I had seventy three new guys or whatever that number
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: ends up being. So I'm just kind of interested as
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: we get ready to kick this thing off, how we're
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: gonna remember this season and what the narrative will be
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: around this season as we move on.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: Which what you're getting at, too, is that rich Rod's tenure.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: You can't judge it on game one or Game three
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: against Pitt. I mean, you're gonna have I know, the
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: attention span shorter now the new five years is three
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: years or maybe two anymore, But you're gonna have to
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: give it time so you can see right to judge accurately.
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And to add another question to that, and certainly
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: don't need to look at twenty twenty six before we've
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: kicked off twenty twenty five. But I think that's part
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: of it. What's the number next year? How many of
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: these guys emerge and return? And you say this time
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: next year before game one and I run those same numbers,
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: we say, there's twenty seven guys returning that have started
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: more than once. Right, what's that look like as you
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: move forward in the coming years?
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Right? And we've talked a lot about the seventy plus
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: new players at West Virginia. I mean, as crazy as
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: things are right now in college football, West Virginia is
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: in some absolutely rarefied air. The last I knew, this
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: was the second most I think it's two in the country.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: So it's not like there's twenty teams that are dealing
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: with this size number. I mean, we're we're right there
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: at the very tip of the top as far as
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: number of players. And so the great unknown, Yeah, great,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: kind of a great experiment too, like what's it? What's
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: it translate to?
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: And you don't That's why we play because you don't know.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: Because generally the coaches say positive things publicly, Okay, even
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: though it's Rich Roden says, we did. We didn't, you know,
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: have our heart edge, didn't have a heart edge the
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: other day whatever it was, but he said, well, we
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: like our guys here, we like our guys here. We
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: like our guys here, like our guys here. But you
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: don't know what they're saying in the film room.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I've been around there enough that I
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: knew I would know if they were in the film
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: room going like, I don't know, I do, I'm not
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: getting that vibe. I truly think they want to see
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: who performs when the lights come on. Because Rich said
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: this this week, which is very unusual because people have
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: not truly identified as to what they're going to be
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: able to do, and this is unheard of Scout team players.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Well practice is going on, they'll call several Scout team
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: players over and hey, come on over here and rep
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: with us now because they're still trying to get a
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: feel like in the past. You know, a Scout guy
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: is a Scout guy. He's developmental. He's just not ready
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: for whatever reason, to go out there and play. But
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: they're still calling guys over like, hey, give me two
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: slot receivers over here, and like there's great opportunity for
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: these guys right now to still show themselves and say hey,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: I can help you guys on Saturday. So that's happening,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: and Rich said he can never remember that having the
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: need or the opportunity to do that, because guys, just
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: there's no clear separation of this is our absolute one,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: this is our absolute two. It's more like, is that
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: a bad thing? He doesn't know? That might mean you're
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: like really mediocre, or that might mean you got some
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: solid depth.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: A couple more depth chart notes. Two of the four
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: guys that were just involved in that federal lawsuit in
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: on the depth chart, Jeff Wimer receiver listed as one
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: of the many ores Justin Harrington in that defensive backfield.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: As we speculated, Harrington's got to probably work his way
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: into that lineup. He's been at Oklahoma and Washington. You'd
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: think he'd work in there. So those two on the
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: original depth chart there good good report.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Jeff Wimer also, I think it's gonna get a lot
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: of he'll get tick, he'll get picked early. Go let
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: him go.
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: All right, what else do we need to cover? Game one?
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: What else are you watching? I know it's different for
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: you because you're trying to take in the whole scene.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: But if you if you had to pick one area
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: that you're most interested to see when a team filled
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: with questions, it would be what.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: The ability to run the ball between the tackles? I agree,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: I want to mulch people. If you can mulch, you
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: can do everything else that you need to do, because,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: as you know, that forces them to commit. Once you commit,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: then jing jing jing. Now you're going to start picking
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: them apart and going on the outside. I would I
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: will not sleep well sad Saturday night if we get
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: stood up and pushed back on the old line. I
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: don't think that's going to happen. I do think, well,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: we'll be able to do that at least this week
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: and the next week we'll provide a whole nother challenge
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: at Ohio University to see if you can do that.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: But if you can push and you show some pretty
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: good ability between the tackles, which will give them the
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: green light to run their inside zone that they love,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: then then Rich is going to go like, Okay, I
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: got my palette, I can play with all my colors.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: But if that doesn't happen, then Rich is going to
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: go like, well, I have to can't use the shar truce,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: the magenta or the other colors I want to use.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to just go with my primary colors.
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: Then the outside doesn't work as well in some of
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: those big plays.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: Right, but the public focus will be on when no,
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: the public focus.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Will be on a quarterback.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you know, because I mean it just
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: will because it because it is because always.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: Rich stayed consistent. We got the rare five oars on
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: the quarterback depth chart, five oars.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Five have five deep on the depth chart.
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: He hasn't varied. So that's that is right, That's what
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: the majority of the fans are looking and we will
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: too because you look out there. Has that been a
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: real narrative by Rich off season or is that going
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: to be one where we come back in at the
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: end of the year three quarters in and go yep?
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: That's like, that's like we're gonna line running backs up
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: in the slot because we have so many running backs.
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: We need to get him the ball. How many guys
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: play that over under quarterback number is going to be?
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: So he track all season?
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Well, he went plus four and a half, I know,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: he said Monday.
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he did.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: He said he was on the over with us. He
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: went over on four and a half. I wouldn't even
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: know what was our number. Three and a half, three
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: and a half, he went.
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: Four and sail.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: He moved the line.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: I mean he said, that thing jumped to that that
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: thing jumped.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: You got to reset, Brad, you gotta reset the line.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Because he was.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Doing a scouting report on all of them. And I said, like, okay,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: you haven't said like that. You know, normally a coach.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: You go like, you know, Brad's a good young guy,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: but he's still got to get in the weight room.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: We've got a lot of things. The things are going
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: a little bit too fast for those are all the
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: code words for like he ain't getting on the field.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: But he went through his five and I went like, okay,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: so is the potential. He goes like yeah, And I
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: went like.
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: All right, let's see.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: I would you just better.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Buy tickets at three and a half if you can
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: still buy him?
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: Okay, a guy, a couple other extra guys may get
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: in the game.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: You're not gonna play by play.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: I mean no, no, no, I'm not counting.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: You can't.
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: You can't do revisions history it's take one snap.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: Okay, I understand the over underplay.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: I understand it.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying, in a in a general sense, you
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: can't count taking a snap or two as he's playing
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: five quarterbacks, because he's not really playing. He's taking a
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: couple of snaps late in the game. And how many
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: and how many games playing and how many games?
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: Whole premise of the question, well, I I'm reframing it.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Here's a question for you. Here's a question for you, guys.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: If you if, if I if Rev keV is going
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: to come in and do five minutes, is he a host?
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: Is he like, oh we did four guys today, He's
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: a host.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Of the shot.
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: That's analogy.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: It's not my best I was searching right there.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Hey listen, don't bring the good Reverend into this.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: You want, but you understand what I'm saying.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: So here's a question for you.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: When you say go ahead, go ahead, what.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Will begin to eliminate what will begin to eliminate the
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks from getting back out onto the field?
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: Mistakes?
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Mistakes?
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, so like, but what happens if everyone goes
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: out there and they got the hips of Fred Astaire
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: and they got the you know, a great, great arm
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: and like that will only add to like, well, wait
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: a second, he's not hurting us, So basically it comes
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: down to hurt. Like if you don't hurt us, I'm
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: gonna keep giving you a chance.
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: Well yeah, okay, so that's that. I think that's where
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: you're going. Miniko comes out hypothetically, takes the first snap
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: and is and is pretty good. And it's pretty good.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: I know who, But Jalen Henderson's does some things and wait,
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: Scotti Fox might be well, here's a deal. That's your contention.
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: I don't need to speak for you since you're sitting
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: right here, but that's your contention. Wait a second, that
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: you're going to get a couple that play pretty well,
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: and he's gonna pull what a coach normally does, and
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: we're going to talk about seeing the backup quarterback and
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: the coach really never puts the backup quarterback. That's what
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: you think is happening exactly.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Drives him down the field, first three drives, he gets
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: the two touchdowns in the field goal. You don't take
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: him outring.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: Wait, you want you want to get the guy, You
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: want to get the guy reps.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: He needs reps.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: So that but that is a factor again with this
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: particular team because you're trying to get some continuity in there.
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: What's that mean? How many drives for an Eco? How
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: many for Henderson? Does Max Brown see the field? What
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: about Scotty Fox? But you got the offensive lineman when
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: you start bringing back up offensive lineman in with your
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: and starting quarterback.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: And does a quarterback get taken out? See Rich said
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: he doesn't want guys to play a freight.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: Right right, So he's gotta be careful. You try to
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: pick on your fourth pass?
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: Correct?
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: Are you coming back out for the next drive?
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: Correct?
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I know I get that part of it too.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, there's great teaching that goes
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: on when you do get taken out. Like I told
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: you four times in practice this week that when you
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: throw that there and you're not doing that, then you're
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: not gonna play. If you don't have the ability to
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: take a player out and sit him down, and he
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: knows that, then you're scroogy. But these quarterbacks, obviously since
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: he said he's gonna play off five, they know that.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: They know they have to be it there correct much.
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: It's fascinating. I think I think the number of quarterbacks
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: played is a fascinating question. This year it has been
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: his number, the number one thing he has said and
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: not wavered from day one, and when he sat in
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: here in this seat, he has not wavered from that.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: Does he does? He hold to that?
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: We'll see rev Kev's coming in. All he does, all
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: he does is help people. Rev keV coming in second.

  Speaker 3: So I guess have this little nugget for you. I
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: couldn't get interested in the football team. Robert Morris. I
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: let Brad do that.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: That's very that's very arrogant.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: Well do you respect? But so, who is Robert Morris?
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: University named for.
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: Robert Morris?
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: Robert Morris? Who is Robert Morris?
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: Robert Morris, probably the most least known, underappreciated founding father
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: of the country. Came over from England, came to the
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: United States, became didn't have anything, became a wealthy merchant
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: and financier, lived in Pennsylvania and was credited with financing
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: the Continental Army during the American Revolution, George Washington said,
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: had it not been for Robert Morris, the army would
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: have failed. He didn't have any money. The Congress didn't
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: have any money. So financed the Continental Army.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: Big donor to the army, big donor. Bob Morris did that,
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: did some nil deals. He get his name on the
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: uniforms or anything. They put a patch there, didn't get anything.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: In fact, he is Robert Morris, the deeper. I went
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: down his rabbit hole bred and we're interesting.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: A guy bought the scoreboard.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: He is one of just two people.
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was Roger Sherman who have signed the Decoration
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the US Constitution.
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: Holy signed all three. As I said, was a financier.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: But after the revolution he invested Tony a little bit
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: too heavily goitcoin.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: No in land.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: He's a big land speculator.
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: He not keeped them innimal rights.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: And where and where.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Did he buy lan West Virginia?
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: In West Virginia, now it was Virginia at the time,
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: same thing because it was late seventeen hundreds, early eighteen hundreds.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: But he had land tens of thousands of acres in
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: southern West Virginia.
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: Good nugget.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: So that was a good Always a West Forgin and
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: he can always a West Virginia connection is very good.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Here's the other here's the addendum to that.
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: That's very good.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: He over speculated, he died a broken man, ended up
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: going broke and going to Debtor's prison.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: Wow, to debtors prison.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: Was eventually released and lived modestly and in general obscurity.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: How about that.
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: But that's the story of Robert Morris. That fellow live
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: to like eighteen oh seven something like that.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: Age been because people didn't live a hole, just maybe
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of stuff signed those three things.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: But financ the army and a and of course.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: A West Virginia connection.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: That's amazing.

  Speaker 4: Well done. That that's a good. That's very good.

  Speaker 1: All right?
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: Can they do the can they pay the bypass?
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: Now? Can they get the.
• 46:40
  Speaker 5: I think they're actually paving west Over right now?
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: We call that east Oh my gosh, how do you
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: get in there?
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: You can't? You have to, I mean your papers. Listen.
• 46:51
  Speaker 6: I've lived there for nearly fifty five years now, and
• 46:53
  Speaker 6: it's next to impossible to get in and out of
• 46:55
  Speaker 6: west Over.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: But when it's done, it's gonna be nice. It's going
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: to be dandy. Yeah.
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: When don't we firing it up? When's the food begin?
• 47:01
  Speaker 6: They are now? They are literally prepping everything right now.
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: As we speak.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: All right, here we go, okay, like.
• 47:07
  Speaker 6: Thirty two briskets, I think six or seven hundred pieces
• 47:11
  Speaker 6: of chicken, and then like forty or fifty pork butts.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, so good start, Oh my gosh, yeah, good start.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: And then we'll ramp it really up for pit week.
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, it'll be off the charts for pit week.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. How much meat?
• 47:23
  Speaker 6: Now?
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: How much meat is?
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: We'll have a full week for p What is.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: Your now that you've grown this thing you were here
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: a year ago? What what's the maximum amount? You know? Me,
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: I'd like to do big number of stuff. What's the
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: maximum amount of meat? You can cook and one go.
• 47:36
  Speaker 6: We can cook two thousand pounds of meat at a pop.
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: So I won't say who it was.
• 47:42
  Speaker 6: But two friends of ours, yeah, had a bet called
• 47:45
  Speaker 6: me the other night and said, we want to know
• 47:48
  Speaker 6: how many briskets do you cook a year? And I said, well, geez,
• 47:51
  Speaker 6: last year for Penn State alone, we cooked eighty three.
• 47:55
  Speaker 5: And if you remember, we ran out.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: I remember, I.
• 47:59
  Speaker 6: Said, I don't know, six seven hundred and fifty briskets
• 48:02
  Speaker 6: a year.
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: It is probably what we're cooking at this point.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Amazing.
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: We cook pretty much every week.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Okay, So let's do this because we oftentimes
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: talk about revkevin Is barbecue and it's absolute meat candy.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: It is as good as there is the best. And
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: I've been around, I've been around, I mean, I've eaten
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: all over the country and this stuff is just idyllic.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: So let's talk about the source and the whole genesis
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: behind the creation of your barbecue business. The money goes
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: to so.
• 48:38
  Speaker 6: We have a number of programs we are now serving
• 48:42
  Speaker 6: Skyview Milon Park, a small kind of alternative learning center
• 48:49
  Speaker 6: that Monk County Schools has called Excel Clabtel Middle Clay
• 48:53
  Speaker 6: Betel High School in Mason Dixon Elementary School.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: So you're providing first two or elements schools. By the way, yes,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: you're providing food on the weekends for them to take home.
• 49:05
  Speaker 6: We do every single weekend of the school year. We
• 49:08
  Speaker 6: are providing a lunch bag full of between two and
• 49:12
  Speaker 6: three thousand calories that these kids are going home with.
• 49:15
  Speaker 6: And in those schools alone, you have twelve hundred students
• 49:20
  Speaker 6: combined that fall below the poverty line.
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: And you know, Kevin, you know this that teachers often
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: say when they send the kids home for the weekend,
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: they don't know, they don't know, they don't know.
• 49:33
  Speaker 6: They may not eat until they come back for breakfast
• 49:36
  Speaker 6: on Monday. And so what we're trying to do is
• 49:40
  Speaker 6: kind of triage the wound of hunger while we're educating.
• 49:43
  Speaker 5: And that's the other part of what we do. We
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: have a.
• 49:45
  Speaker 6: Before school program and an after school program that are
• 49:49
  Speaker 6: at Skyview Elementary alone right now, but we also have
• 49:52
  Speaker 6: a full summer program that we're doing for kids all
• 49:55
  Speaker 6: the way across the county. And you know another thing is,
• 50:00
  Speaker 6: you know what happens when those extra school care days
• 50:04
  Speaker 6: go off during the year, And I think there's like
• 50:06
  Speaker 6: thirteen or fourteen of them, and these parents have nowhere
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: to put their kids. And I don't know if you
• 50:10
  Speaker 6: guys have seen the cost of childcare lately, but you know,
• 50:15
  Speaker 6: my son Tanner, they just had their their child. I
• 50:17
  Speaker 6: mean they pay like fourteen fifteen hundred dollars a month.
• 50:22
  Speaker 6: Our extra care days that we provide for families, it's
• 50:25
  Speaker 6: two hundred dollars a year. So if you have a
• 50:29
  Speaker 6: kid fully invested in our program, it's about forty three
• 50:33
  Speaker 6: hundred dollars a year is what it costs to feed
• 50:36
  Speaker 6: that child before and after school care, summer program, and
• 50:39
  Speaker 6: extra care days. And we don't turn anybody away, and
• 50:43
  Speaker 6: it's all privately funded. We've never received a grant dollar.
• 50:47
  Speaker 6: Every single thing that we sell from this barbecue trailer
• 50:49
  Speaker 6: goes straight back into the program. Wow, it's been a
• 50:55
  Speaker 6: long time. We've been doing it since twenty ten. Very
• 50:58
  Speaker 6: sustainable program, Very sustainable.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: Well you've got a full deal now, you got a
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: forty foot trailer, you got people that are I mean,
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: look it's a promo.
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: You've obviously worked this thing for fifteen years now, right,
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: So what is the fine line between truly helping people
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: in need and enabling.
• 51:17
  Speaker 6: Okay, so this is what we're trying to do. And
• 51:19
  Speaker 6: I don't want to give the names, but we actually
• 51:22
  Speaker 6: have a meeting next Wednesday and we have people from WV.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: And you know what I mean, right, Oh?
• 51:28
  Speaker 6: I know one Because if all we're doing is feeding
• 51:30
  Speaker 6: people and we're not really equipping them for the future,
• 51:33
  Speaker 6: what are we doing. We're just perpetuating the problem. So
• 51:36
  Speaker 6: what we ultimately want to do is educate. So next
• 51:40
  Speaker 6: Wednesday we have a meeting with one of Roman County
• 51:43
  Speaker 6: School principles, one of our school board members, of very
• 51:49
  Speaker 6: well respected representative from WVU, myself and the young man
• 51:55
  Speaker 6: who runs our day to day programs, and we are
• 51:58
  Speaker 6: going to develop a curriculum for our before school care,
• 52:01
  Speaker 6: are after school care, our summer care, so that kids
• 52:06
  Speaker 6: are brought up to grade level in terms of their understanding.
• 52:11
  Speaker 6: And then you know, they take these aptitude tests throughout
• 52:14
  Speaker 6: school and it says, oh, you're supposed to be this,
• 52:17
  Speaker 6: or oh you're supposed to be this, and teachers do
• 52:19
  Speaker 6: a phenomenal job. I come from, you know, a long
• 52:22
  Speaker 6: line of public school teachers in Mont County. You know,
• 52:26
  Speaker 6: my grandmother was the first head of testing and counseling
• 52:28
  Speaker 6: in mont County decades and decades and decades ago.
• 52:32
  Speaker 5: Mom taught school for forty years.
• 52:34
  Speaker 6: But what we have is we have teachers that are
• 52:36
  Speaker 6: already strapped yep to the nth degree. Yes, And the
• 52:39
  Speaker 6: kids that we're servicing, their parents have to work, they
• 52:43
  Speaker 6: don't have time to home school their kids. And because
• 52:46
  Speaker 6: there's so many kids at the poverty level, they're not
• 52:48
  Speaker 6: going to send a kid to private school or a
• 52:51
  Speaker 6: charter school. You see what I'm saying, I do, so
• 52:53
  Speaker 6: we kind of have to bridge the gap, and that's
• 52:55
  Speaker 6: what we're wanting to do. So I'll give a very
• 52:59
  Speaker 6: basic example. If you don't understand history on a Monday,
• 53:05
  Speaker 6: you got a good shot on a Tuesday. But if
• 53:07
  Speaker 6: you don't understand algebra on Monday, you're in big trouble
• 53:11
  Speaker 6: on Tuesday, and you're cheated off the smartest girl in
• 53:14
  Speaker 6: your class on Wednesday for the next couple of years.
• 53:17
  Speaker 6: And this is what happened to me as a Westover
• 53:19
  Speaker 6: kid growing up eighth grade.
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: I was just.
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: Smart enough to get into algebra as an.
• 53:26
  Speaker 6: Eighth grader, but my head didn't process that way, and
• 53:29
  Speaker 6: the teacher had to teach to the middle of the class. Sure,
• 53:32
  Speaker 6: not the high level, not the low level.
• 53:35
  Speaker 5: And so by the time.
• 53:36
  Speaker 6: I got to WVU and I have to take the
• 53:38
  Speaker 6: entrance exam for what was it at that time, math
• 53:42
  Speaker 6: three or something like that, I.
• 53:45
  Speaker 5: Had to take the workshop. I was so embarrassed. I
• 53:47
  Speaker 5: didn't want to do that.
• 53:48
  Speaker 6: So my mother, forty year educator in Mont County, says
• 53:51
  Speaker 6: to me, all right, now, this is going to humble you.
• 53:55
  Speaker 6: But the best algebra teacher I know is your little
• 53:59
  Speaker 6: sisters eighth grade algebra teacher. I'm eighteen, Carrie's twelve, and
• 54:06
  Speaker 6: we have the same math teacher. But what I was
• 54:09
  Speaker 6: able to learn in four months took me from not
• 54:12
  Speaker 6: able to get into math three and then taking the
• 54:16
  Speaker 6: test making one hundred percent on the test and being
• 54:19
  Speaker 6: the one who was cheated on. And so what we
• 54:21
  Speaker 6: want to do in our before after in summer program
• 54:25
  Speaker 6: is get these kids.
• 54:26
  Speaker 5: Up to a level.
• 54:27
  Speaker 6: Sure to partner with the teachers. So these kids are
• 54:32
  Speaker 6: are all of the grade level.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: So they're on that story. Two trains in opposite.
• 54:39
  Speaker 5: Hope you haven't done algebra in a lot of years.
• 54:42
  Speaker 5: Let's talk Brisket for a little of the plan. The
• 54:44
  Speaker 5: play of his education.
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: How do we get the Brisket let's talk.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: I thought he was I thought he was going to
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: so I thought you were going to say this, and
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: so I had to take Math three. So I said,
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: hell with that, I'm going to go into journalism.
• 54:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I know, really, thank you guys for hiring we
• 54:57
  Speaker 6: oh so many moons ago. No, you know, that's what
• 55:01
  Speaker 6: we ultimately want to do. We want to bring education
• 55:03
  Speaker 6: to these kids. And what we're saying is give us
• 55:05
  Speaker 6: your kids for pre K through high school and we
• 55:09
  Speaker 6: will either launch them into higher education or we'll launch
• 55:12
  Speaker 6: them as trained members of the Smart Force. To answer
• 55:15
  Speaker 6: your questions, when is Brisket coming? So we will move
• 55:18
  Speaker 6: the trailer in there tomorrow. Dave Groover, our main man, says,
• 55:23
  Speaker 6: we are opening Friday almost at three point thirty in
• 55:28
  Speaker 6: the afternoon, and we will be there.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: You know, we're usually there till.
• 55:31
  Speaker 6: Nine or ten o'clock, whatever it is. And then as
• 55:34
  Speaker 6: soon as we get there on Saturday morning, I'm going
• 55:36

  Speaker 6: So one of the things we're going to do, and
• 58:10
  Speaker 6: this is Pit Week, we are going to launch child
• 58:13
  Speaker 6: sponsorships because it costs those kids forty three hundred dollars
• 58:17
  Speaker 6: a year to do everything that we do, and a
• 58:19
  Speaker 6: lot of them can't even afford that. We never turn
• 58:22
  Speaker 6: anybody away. So starting that week, we're doing three hundred
• 58:26
  Speaker 6: and fifty dollars child sponsorships, and so at the trailer
• 58:29
  Speaker 6: every single week and online the Sunday before the PIT game,
• 58:34
  Speaker 6: which is September seventh, we will go live and people
• 58:37
  Speaker 6: if they want to partner with us and help sponsor
• 58:39
  Speaker 6: a kid. We're doing it at that three p fifty mark,
• 58:42
  Speaker 6: just because that's what it costs to feed a child
• 58:44
  Speaker 6: for a year. But there's way more than that that
• 58:47
  Speaker 6: we're providing for them. As well, so we'll be there
• 58:48
  Speaker 6: if people want to donate.
• 58:50

  Speaker 7: Hearing you guys talk about the Blazing Challenge over at
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 7: Buffalo Wild Wings reminded me of a story from high
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 7: school back in seventeen. Twenty seventeen. My buddy was now
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 7: a West Virginia grad, attempted the challenge after our homecoming.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 7: He was at Shady Spring High School. We did the parade,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 7: we did the game, and we did.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: The dance all on Saturday. So after the dance was
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: our only chance to get a meal. He decides he's
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: going to do the challenge. Takes my cowboy hat, saddles
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: up and finishes covered in sauce and snot. They begin
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: the celebration by bringing out a lemonade and a glass
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: of milk and advise you to drink them in that order.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: There's an advanced science behind it, so they went acid
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: and then the dairy. He now lives in DC and
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: we don't talk much about don't talk much, but we
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: did run into each other at the coal rush last year.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: Actually ended up sitting below the jumbo trunes a couple
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: of rows apart. Hopefully we were run into each other
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: at the brawl. I'm limited. I'm a number of games
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: due to my sister's wedding on the day of the Robert
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: Morris game. In my wedding on the day of the
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: Colorado game. Does that family not realize that football happens
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: in September? I mean, is there something new there? But
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: I hope to make one or two more games. Can't
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: wait for September thirteenth. Thank you, we took himself out
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: of two games there, all right? That's logan from shitty Good.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: Best of luck to you. Congratulations on the nuptials. Hey Tony,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: I'm listening to you rattle off all the weather debacles
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: interfering with Mountaineer football games. You left off Tennessee in
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: twenty eighteen and the Kansas game from last year's. I
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: was at both of those. I don't go to a
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: lot of games anymore, but three of my last five,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: wow have had major delays. You know. I'm glad you
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: pointed that out. A bad run because I also received
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: a note that I didn't mention last year's Kansas game.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: And that's on me because I texted a guy during
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: the show when we were recording that I thought would
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: be rain man like and give me all of those,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: and he completely botched it by missing the Tennessee and
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: the Kansas game from last year. So I texted him
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: and I said, hey, you missed the Kansas game from
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: last year.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: He wrote back, what I don't remember that game?
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: Who was it?
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: Soup?
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: I thought, soup?
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: I mean. I don't want to talk bad about him,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: but fact is fact. Hey, three guys, if you see Hoppy,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: tell him how much I enjoyed his interview with Doctor
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: Gee on West Virginia State of Minds.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 4: Thank You.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: A few episodes back, someone mentioned Woody O'Hara. He was
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: sort of the voice of my Saturday mornings as a
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: kid on Mountaineer Magazine. I bumped into him once on
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: the Xon over at the Exxon on don Notts Boulevard
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: when I was a student. I told him how much
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed his work. I'll never forget the advice that
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: he gave me. He put his hand on my shoulder,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: looked me dead in the eye in a fatherly way,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: and said, son, don't forget to grab the big gulp
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: off the roof of your car before he drive away.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: Then he walked into the store. I follow that advice
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: to this day. I loved the show Pete from Pennsboro.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 4: Good mount Near magazine reference Pete Wood.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: He just dispatching wisdom at that.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: Point, I can that sounds like witty.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: Well, I think what he would say like this, Hey,
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: go get that big gulf off your roof. Hey, gents,
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: here we are game week. Do you realize that in
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: Rich Rodriguez's first year as head coach of the beloved Mountaineers,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: our second game was against Ohio. This year first year
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: back second games against Ohio. Also to get into the
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: craziness of playing Pitt On the September thirteenth. The attendance
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven was sixty thousand, one hundred
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: six to zero, one zero zero. Coach Rodriguez came back
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: to us when he was sixty one years old. He
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: really pushed it for that one. The WVU pit game
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: was played December one, two thousand and seven. Neil Brown
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: was released December one, twenty twenty four. The Prodigal truly
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: has come home. Praying for a safe, blessed and fun season.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: DJ from Monroe County. A lot of things you can
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: do with numbers. Sometimes they make you go wow. This
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: nine to thirteen thing is probably wild. It's the most bizarre.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: I can't get over that.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: It's like some things out of Indiana Jones and the
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: Temple of Dooms.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: Things lining up.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: Jack from Charleston. Unfortunate in my eyes that we had
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: to cancel the Alabama series, but I understand why it
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: had to be done. But it looked like there may
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: have been an opportunity to play Marshall at home in
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: twenty seven. We went for Southern miss instead. If we're
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: going to play a group of five, why not play
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: against a team that will sell out the stadium and
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: get people excited. I would spec you, guys, haven't you
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: want to go on that one at all?
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 4: I was going to say this about the whole schedule thing.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 4: Give I give Wren and Ben Murray sport administrated a
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 4: lot of credit. That's basically hitting a three team parlay
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 4: what they did there. Sure right to try and schedule.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 4: We joke all the time about how far out football
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 4: schedules are done. To try and maneuver that and lock
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 4: that in with the different games. It literally is like
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 4: getting the three team partly partly being able to do that.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 4: It's a well done one.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: Two.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 4: We've had Ren in here and talked a bunch about
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 4: tourism and how how good West Virginia football and basketball
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 4: is for tourism. I thought this was a stroke of genius,
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 4: stroke a genius. What gett in Coastal Carolina? Oh yeah,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 4: Like normally the flood of tourism dollars leaves the state
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 4: and goes to Myrtle Beach?
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: Right? Got them?
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 4: W Ren absolutely flip that and has Coastal Carolina Myrtle
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 4: Beach coming here.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: He's playing He's playing chess, they're playing checkers. Tremendous, right,
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: He turned all those Myrtle Beach dollars spun him right
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: up seventy nine. Now they're gonna hit Gomart, gonna hit
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: Tutors boat right Why they're here because they need boats
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: down there at Myrtle Probably exactly what they're gonna do,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: right on.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 4: It Import export there, Kirtchville. That was your old hair support.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 3: Texter, put it put terrofhone him coming in.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: Text her. If there was ever any doubt that Brad
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: was no longer an Iowa native and is a full
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: on West Virginian, all those doubts were done away with
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: a few episodes ago. You guys talking about winter, Brad
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: goes in and says, I like the winner, I just
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: don't like dealing with the bad roads. My brother in
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: law and I had the exact same conversation right before
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: you guys did. It's August and we're walking worried about
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: snowy roads. Already hilarious in proof of official West Virginian status.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: Now get your picture made, Brad and Glad. We got rain.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: We needed that rain. Loved the show, Kevin and Princeton. Yeah,
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: it make a couple good points there. It makes a
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: couple of good points.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go. Time to open the season. Let's go.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 4: We've been waiting a long time. Let's go.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: So he what's your record prediction? He went six and six?
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: What's yours?
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: Five and seven?
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: Because is this the first time you're releasing that publicly
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: or have you been s well?
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: If anybody asked, I told them, But this is the
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 3: first time publicly. And the line is, I mean it's
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 3: five and a half, which I think is about right.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: And I tell you, guys, why I'm going below, why
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 3: I'm going five is, and Brad you alluded to it earlier.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: I mean a lot of teams have a lot of unknowns.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: This team has a boatload of unknowns, a boatload. And
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 3: to me, to get to given your conference schedule, to
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 3: get to six seven wins, a lot of things that
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 3: you really don't know about today have to be pretty good.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, they have to come together.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 3: So there's too many for me, there's too many unknowns
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 3: to go to the plus side, and unknowns with this
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: many usually fall to the negative side.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: New coaching staff.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 3: I know he's got sixteen quarterbacks, but there still someone,
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 3: certainly your quarterback. You open my eyes about that offensive line.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 3: Conference schedule can be tough, especially on the road. I
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: think all those things add up to a below five
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 3: and a half. So I'm going five, all right, and
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 3: a lot to me, a lot hinges on the Pit game.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 3: And I know you can't qualify and say, well, if
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: they beat Pit then this they lout to Pitt in
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 3: this but but we'll talk about that Pit week.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: But I'm going five. It's fair, you're going going six.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm over give me over the over the five
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 4: and a half. I mean me and I mean I
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 4: skew optimistic anyway, but I'm in a bank that this
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 4: team gets better, that some of that inexperienced stuff they
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 4: play their way into getting better, and then there there's
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 4: great on known for everybody. Like I'll give you an example.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 4: Texas Tech comes in here in the final game of
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 4: the season. A lot of folks have already given them
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 4: the Big twelve championship. I don't know if you or
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 4: Mark has been down there yet, but a lot of
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 4: people have awarded it to Texas Tech. Right, Oh, that
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 4: big payroll. But man, that could go a couple ways too, right, Yeah,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 4: I mean if that if that team stumbles out of
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 4: the gate or in October and loses a couple. Think
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 4: of the noise around Joey maguire. I mean, that's going
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 4: to be a hot seat that gets hot fast. Given
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 4: them money they've spent, you get them in their final game.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 4: Could they be coming in here poised to go to
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 4: the Big Twelve championship? Sure wouldn't stun me with what
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 4: they've done in the offseason. Could they come in here
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 4: and be a program in disarray and maybe have already
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 4: fired your coach if there's been chaos and you've lost games,
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 4: that's certainly not out of the realm of possibilities. So
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 4: the great unknown isn't just West Virginia. It's across this league.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 4: And I do think and we saw it in Week
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 4: zero there with I was taking Kansas State. There should
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 4: be a lot of close call games. Yes, so give
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 4: me West Virginia finding away. I'm not saying this is
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 4: going to be a team place for a Big twelve title,
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 4: but find a way to get over that win total.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: Interesting important game for the league. Nebraska Cincinnati in this
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: week one at Arrowhead in Kansas City. Corn Huskers favored
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: by six and a half. Dana Holgerson, the offensive coordinator
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: there Matt Rules squad at Nebraska. See what I talked
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: to one of the officials that was working them out
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: in here practice. They said, Cincinnati is going like super
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: fast in practice, temple wise super fast.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 3: So you gotta think, though, in what's Matt rule year
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: two three?
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: What does he?
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: I think it's three this year three, that, and there's
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: good enough that they'll get it together. You think Dylan Rola,
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: the quarterback much bally hoed freshman that came in one
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: of the best recruits in the country, now working with
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: Dana for a full offseason, what's that Nebraska look like?
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: Also another important one for the league, Auburn Baylor.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 4: A lot of people high on Baylor.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that game. That game is a two and a
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: half point spread favor in the Tigers games in Waco.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 4: Sawyer Robertson, one of the many big twelve quarterbacks that's
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 4: getting a lot of preseason love here.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So we'll see how it all shakes out. These
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: are very important games for everyone involved, especially the league
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: and your perception. You win some of these games now
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: and you have a better perception. You lose some of
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: these and you just kind of like shelved it's a reality.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: Fair enough, that's a reality, all right. Hit the music.
• 1:13:56
