Weren't even alive when he was last out there spotting
that ball. If you're fifteen years old, you're sitting in
the stands on Saturday, you weren't in the world when
Rich was spotting that ball and playing like your hair
is on fire. That's all I'm saying. So let's name

(02:47):
excuse me touching my microphone. Normally, I guess if we
were like a real podcast, like I would go back
in and post production and like edit out me touching
the microphone. But like this is live to tape. We're
just raw, going raw run the thing. So in a
normal game week, even though it's game week, in a
normal game week, starting next week, after you play a game,

(03:10):
this would be our Sunday recap, and then Thursday we
will preview. Thursday we preview, and because this is the
first week, obviously nothing this past weekend. But what we're
going to do is talk about the expanse of what
college football has become. The significance. I don't think you

(03:34):
could over I don't think you could over talk over
and that's not what I don't think you could spend
too much time talking about the historical significance of what
is about to happen. It is, it is unbelievable. And

(03:54):
I you know, I went over to the Beanie Bowl
on Friday, went to the Beanie Bowl and I stayed
on the sideline, walked in through the tunnel. Team was
already going, and I looked I was in the Enzo
and I looked down the sideline and this is like
true game, right, this is as close to a dress

(04:17):
rehearsal game as you're going to have. Rich's got the
headset on. Rich's walking the sideline, and I'm just looking
at it, going like this is really happening, Like he's back,
like I don't know if like last time we were
on the show and I talked about Pat White walking
around the stadium with this weighted vesta, and then I'm

(04:37):
looking at Rich down the sideline and here's Rich Rodriguez
coaching the Mountaineer football team.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
I'm seventeen years later.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Seventeen years later. It's kind of like it's it's stuff
that happens in movies. You know. They put the graphic
up and they go like it's black screen, white letters,
and says seventeen years later, and then it dissolves in
and here's like Rich walking down the sideline.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Rich.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
If this were a movie, they would make Rich look
older than seventeen years because he still looks like Rich
walking up and downside doesn't look like seventeen years later.
It really doesn't. But I'm watching him going like, this
is this is on, this is happening. Refs are out there,
he's having a conversation with the referees moving. You know,
he's rich, Rich being rich.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
And that was the Beanie bull. You know, stands there
weren't six.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
There's a fifty people in there.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
Sixty yeah, yeah, five, it'll be.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
But they had everything going. The music was on, all
the signage in the stadium was on. Everything was like,
you know, it was like for real, except it wasn't
for real. And but that to me was a moment.
I had two moments last week, the pet plight and
then the Rich walking on the sideline. And I say
all of that because it will only go to like

(05:46):
the fiftieth power of that on Saturday when they actually
do come onto the field and Rich is going to
run out there and the place will be going bananas.
And it's a moment that has never existed in the
history of Mountaineer football in which obviously a coach comes

(06:06):
back and has gained not only just this unbelievable amount
of attention here in state, but nationally. This weekend, you
can see some things. You know, Rich is rich Man,
Like Ross Dellinger wrote a big time story about Rich's
return last week. Kirk Herb Street, you know, called West
Virginia's best head coach new higher in the off season.

(06:29):
You know, you had Belichick in there among others, and
he said Rich Rich is the best new hire among
these coaches. So the momentum and the push. You know,
in the radio, we use a VU meter, right and
what we used to before analytic digital, But anyway, the
meter would go like this, like Rich makes the needle
move before you ever play a game.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Do you ever see the movie Dodgeball?

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (06:54):
With the ansiences, do you believe in unlikelihoods? I thought
a lot about this, and I'm going to write about
it this week, but Thomas Wolfe has The novel was
published posthumously in nineteen forty where the famous line you
can't go home again, And it's the story of George

(07:16):
Weber who left an imaginary town. Left the town and
was imaginary is actually Asheville, North Carolina was where it was,
and he goes away and he writes about his hometown
and then he comes back bread years later and he
finds that things have changed, the people have changed, the
circumstances have changed, He's changed. So the point being that

(07:36):
things are always changing and they're never going to be
what they were. So that's just the reality. So physically
you can go home again. We know that with Richard
Riguez he has come back. But what is it going
to be to me? This is a fascinating story and
it starts on Saturday. Is that will he be accepted

(07:57):
back in? Will he have success? How will this story
play out? And unlike a lot of situations, like if
you went back to your hometown in Iowa, it'd be
like wow, things are different, right, so it's not like
it was. You could you'll be able to quantify this
because if he has success, then it will be he'll be,

(08:18):
he'll be welcomed, people will celebrate it. Oh, so you
can go home. You can go home if you meet
these certain metrics. So to me, I'll listen to you
Wednesday when you give us some stuff on Robert Morris.
I don't care about Robert. I'm not gonna spend a
lot of time worrying about Robert Morris.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
But the lead, well, we got to take a shot
of Robert Morris. I mean, they've they've been respectful in
their preparation for the game. I'm free to devalue them
as kind of I didn't.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
I don't care. The lead will be Saturday, or should
be after the game. At you know, five thirty, Rich Rodriguez,
and an unlikely return to a Mountaineer field after a
seven year absence, scored his first victory of the return

(09:05):
trip with a forty nine to fourteen victory over Robert Morris.
Period next paragraph right, and I'm not even getting to
the game yet, Rodriguez. Rodriguez said after the game quote,
it was surreal being back on the sidelines with the Mountaineers.
I'm just happy we were able to have a victory
for the fans. Period. That's the story. Saturday there's a

(09:27):
lot of other angles, quarterback, everything else. That's the story.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
Yeah, I totally agree with you. It's it's wild. Nostalgs
is really powerful as all. Yeah, and it's not just
those of us, and I'm including fans in that that
were around for the first run and all the good
feelings that were generated by all the wins over five,
O six and oh seven in particular. It's just amazing
that we're that we're here to this game day. That's

(09:50):
what's wild, because it, first of all, it feels like
the last time West Virginia took the field was about
seventeen years ago.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Doesn't that mean that's like a whole lifetime really? Really,
it's who was the last game what? So's it's interesting.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
It's this weird moment in time where I think, because
it's Rich and we've all seen Rich as the head coach,
it's a new coach, but it's not a new coach.
But we haven't got to the first game yet, right,
so all that's kind of wrapped into this as well.
But that nostalgia isn't just from the Mountaineer fan base,
and you said it, Tony, there's nostalgia among the national

(10:25):
media and that's why, Hope, I think you're right. This
is a fascinating potential story however it goes. But if
success comes, and certainly that could be a whole podcast
what defines success in this second run? But if big
time success comes, this is going to be an unbelievably
massive story. Right, It's already become a national story and
you haven't played a game yet, And so I also

(10:46):
think that's why this schedule sets up really nice, because
you're one hundred percent right on what the story is
now pregame and postgame, and theoretically you should go out
and take care of an opponent pretty easily and you're
able to sell clebrate that return, rather than what you
had to do last year, where you bring a national
title contender in here and it deflates the balloon before
you even get started. So I'm totally with you on

(11:09):
what the story is, and I'm fascinated to watch this
game one in particular return with a lot more important
games coming up after it.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
But you get it started Saturday.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
And I'm also thrilled that it is Robert Morris that
West Virginia is opening with for the first time, we
have some sensibility in your scheduling rather than just running
straight into a brick wall, which would be just really detrimental.
I think to the process of this rebuild, reload, whatever
you want to call it, to play a team that

(11:38):
you're going to be heavily favored to beat, to get
your bearings about you, because it's going to be a ladder.
This week you're at home against a team you should
beat next week an improved team, but now you're going
to do it away from your home. And then the
third week here you go your one power for non
conference opponent, which happens to be your most bit of rival,
and you know the whole storyline to that. So I

(12:02):
really like the way this is going to set up.
So right now, this week over at the football building,
Rich and staff, learning from what they did last year
at Jacksonville State, will really be trying to focus on
let's make this simple stupid, so that we don't make
these guys paralysis by analysis when they get on the

(12:26):
field and they're thinking, Okay, what am I doing here?
They're going to break this thing down, base this thing down,
and just say okay, we do this well, let's do
this now, and then we can continue to add to it.
So that's going to be the big thing this week
is being judicious, not what the coaches know, but what
can the kids execute and then you go from there.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
You know, I have put my game day operations hat
well behind me. It's been stored in the closet for
a number of years. Yeah, so I appreciate the game
day operations and know what an undertaking it is for
the whole crew that goes through that. But for the
most part, since I've left, we've we've been doing our
broadcast and I've been worried about that and talking about
the team. I haven't worried much about the the pregame stuff.

(13:06):
I can't wait to see what the video is. How
about the highlights that are going to be mixed into
that thing?

Speaker 1 (13:11):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
Would love to see the inflatable helmet come back. I
note won't love that.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Is it somewhere that's a that's a great question. That
is a great question, Like someone should do that one,
Like where literally is the inflatable helmet?

Speaker 4 (13:26):
Well? One of my I think I've probably told this
story for one of my most vivid memories, and I
have a lot of them from my time with with
Rich right, we can do stories all day long. But
I can vividly remember the first game when the smoke
machine was there in the in the tunnel and there
was a the smoke machine was a science there. Hop
you don't just turn the thing on it, you know.
I had to play into the wind and where it

(13:47):
was taking it and was it going off too far?
Was it filling up too much? And I can vividly
remember the first game being down there when we had
the smoke turned on, and I mean it was it
was billowing inside that helmet and it was thick, and
I I can still picture it like it just happened.
Rich steps through it and it's almost as if it
was a curtain and he had to pull it back
and all I could see was if you're watching video,

(14:09):
was like he comes, So are we ready to go yet?

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Let's go. I want to do.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
There the smoke. Let's go.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Let's go.

Speaker 4 (14:17):
So I know, the helmet and the smoke won't be back,
but I will. I will have a good memory on
Saturday when I see Rich take the field and remember
the that time.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah, there's a ton There's so much that goes on,
as you will know, just to get that stadium up
and running again. I mean you use it six or
seven times in a year. But I walk around there
every single day and I've been watching literally for weeks now,
the the man power that it takes to get that
thing up and running. I mean there's been forklifts buzzing

(14:47):
around there bringing in beer and water and food and
all kinds of things that you just gotta and it's amazing. Again,
it only happens six or seven times in a year,
but it is a massive infrastructure to get up and
running because you have to you get only six chances, right,
and you know, like they're looking at this thing. Unfortunately
the weather's going to be really nice on Saturday, darn

(15:08):
near perfect. But you know what also happens is like
if it's going to be ninety, like they can't get
enough water, right, they have to like they got to
get enough water, and all those things have to be
like thought of it's it's it's.

Speaker 4 (15:20):
Scoreboards have to work and operate and are the lights
all on and do as Yeah, it's it's a tremendous undertaking,
not respect for the people to go through that.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
That's a heckful lot of work.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Three guys before the game is brought to it. We
got textual healing coming up. Three guys and plus other
things got the big and again I've needed a couple
of apologies, Susans, I need probably.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
A couple of them.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
You two not from us.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, well what.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Tacked me a couple of shows ago about overstepping and
announcing things before they were done. Well, now everything's coming
to fruition.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
You did overstep and you had the daytron when you
announce it originally. That's was my whole point. So there
will be no apology because you have the original day
Tron when you set it too early before we talked
about it. So now you can give the correct dates,
but no apology forthcoming.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
It's like you would come in to thank.

Speaker 2 (16:09):

last year, Marshall twenty eleven delayed, Ducane twenty twenty three delayed,
Auburn twenty eight delayed, Virginia Tech nineteen ninety one delayed,
North Carolina State twenty eighteen canceled the game and we

(23:57):
never made it back, which makes me giggle.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
What was the game you and I filled for like
four hours? Marshall? Is that the Marshall game? Marshall Brad
five and a half filling two on certain games.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
That was a five and a half hour today.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Remember Tim Branda was listening. He called us. He called
us up the next day. No, yeah, Tim Branda was listening.
He was driving like from some game that he just did,
and he was listening like the whole way, like driving
back to Hattiesburgh, and he called. He called like on
Monday and said, guys, I listened to you guys. That
was unbelievable. Go like, that's kind of what we do.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
Yeah, we can. We can fill whenever. When Brad and
I are working for what's the game day network, what's
it called the network, we're on college bull radio.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
Bull season radiotional games, Yeah, whole season radio, and there'll
be a weather situation and there'll be a semi panic like.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Oh, we've got a throat, We've got a weather situation.
Brad and I just said, bring it, bring it in,
We got it. How long you need to go, how
long you need ten minutes, you need two hours, let's go.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Speaking of bringing it and speaking of rain in Ireland,
st Range it rained.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
Rains every day in Ireland, by the way.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Yeah, it rained this this past Saturday. That was a
pretty good lid lifter, pretty good lift lidlifter.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
Did you see the crowd? O? The crowd was great.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
As first reported on this program, there are places other
than SEC schools and Big Ten where football is important
to people.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Yeah, that was.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
You couldn't ask for more back.

Speaker 4 (25:24):
Those two fan bases should be commended. That was an
incredible turnout.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
You know what's interesting. I was surprised that they both
play again this week.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
Yeah, and they got Iowa Iowa State.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
No no, no, no, next week. They both got games
they should they should win. But see one, why did
I see?

Speaker 2 (25:42):
Why in the heck?

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Was? I think it was a week three for i
That was? I mean that game started out a bit slow,
but it got really interesting.

Speaker 4 (25:48):
And yeah, you can tell first game in stas being
made but.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
Pulled out.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
Rock made a playoff man. Tough way to start your conference.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
Seasonal jeez, but think about it. So but it's early,
but that gives Iowa State a huge advantage. I mean,
their schedule is not that tough by conference standard, and
they've already got to win against Kansas State. They got
a leg up early.

Speaker 4 (26:13):
Well, that's what we talked about going into that game.
If you're the winner of that game, you're thrilled for
a lot of different reasons. But if you're the if
you lose that game, now it's the the world's crashing
in on you, and it's really just game one again.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
We've been there.

Speaker 4 (26:25):
But I think from a leak perspective too, I'm interested
to how that how that affects it because that's two
ranked teams that one now is knocked out of the
rankings there, and that's so you're gonna have to Kansas
State is going to have to battle that to get
back in here. That's a that's a tough way to
start if you lose that.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
And also it's gonna be tough at the Johnson family
Thanksgiving dinner. Holy hell did you see that? Yeah, talking
about Avery Johnson's dad and Avery Johnson's brother would have.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
Been so much better if it was Avery's It would
have been so much better if it was Avery's dad
and Avery's brother fighting someone else. But when you filed
out that it was the father and the on fighting
against each other. Sweet mercy. Yeah, my bad. O. Iowa
State South Dakota this weekend. But to your point about
Iowa State's schedule coming up, they are at Arkansas State Okay,

(27:13):
they're home to Arizona, They're at Cincinnati, They're at Colorado, Okay,
they're home to BYU, They're home to Arizona State, They're
at TCU. Tough one, they're home to Kansas, and they
are at Oklahoma State. Like very doable.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
Yeah, in terms of I mean, no game, you never
know what's gonna happen. No game is easy. But in
terms of what your schedule could be, that's about as
good as you could hope for in a conference schedule. Brand.

Speaker 4 (27:37):
Yeah, they have a ton that's a major rebuild. That's
why it was such a good win for them. Their
offensive line really struggled early. They had trouble running the football.
Their defense looks like it was baby back to Iowa
State standards. Missing those two receivers though, that was a
massive hit for them. So I'm interested to see where
they go. This is one game. There's a lot of seasons,
a lot of seasons.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
Gutsy call on fourth and three late, go win the game,
right right?

Speaker 4 (28:01):
Well, yeah, you'd already missed a field goal as bad
weather conditions, so kicking probably would have been an adventure.
You weren't you weren't having great success running it straight ahead.
So you put the ball in the hands of your
best player, who's your quarterback, and let him make a decision.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
And he did made a play. Don't win the game?
He made a play.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Were you doing a little Conley?

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Yeah, I got I got a little something, You got
a little something something. Let's do it. So I checked
the numbers. We'll just go right to the numbers. There
comes a year.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Let's jump into the analytics worship of the show Ready
spreads out stats brought to us by the Conley CPA
Group celebrating their forty fifth year anniversary. Local Firm Experience.
Local professionals will guide you and your business dealings. They
do provide value beyond numbers, complete service, public accounting and

(28:50):
what I like outsourcing your accounting and your CFO services.
You know, we've talked recently here on three guys maybe
outsource seen some of Hoppy's things.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Hey, now we're good.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Now outsource Hoppy right now, get a Hoppy avatar source.
So that's what they do at Conley's CPA Group.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
What just happened?

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Outsourcing your CFO and your accounting services? Outsourcing is really big?

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Did I just get Nah? It's all right?

Speaker 4 (29:22):
I'm the man outsource hoppy. Now, if we had accounting duties,
I would say that's outsource as we have.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
We do as we have, we do outsourced.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
And I know that the it's coming up. We have
to trim the roster in the NFL. I didn't by
about a third. I didn't know you were trimming this
roster as well.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Hey, listen, nothing wrong with practice squad. Hot Hey, nothing
wrong with the practice squad. You'll be all right.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
By the way, I'm checking that. I'm obsessed by checking
that and just hoping against hope that some of these
mountaineers make it.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
I know from Malba, keeping our fingers crossed for all
of them. But obviously Garrett Green would be an unbelievable
crazy story.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
I had an awesome catch the other night, didn't he Yeah,
can say this end zone.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
I'll say this now, And I'm hoping I think Garrett
I'm not gonna say. I hope at worst he's a
practice squad guy. But I don't know what's gonna happen.
But Neil Brown said this a year ago. He said
a year ago, during the season, he said Garrett Creen
will play in the National Football League. He told me
he said, whether it's a quarterback or a different position,

(30:24):
he will be on an NFL roster. Neil told me
that he was right. He gonna make it.

Speaker 4 (30:29):
He's at a great, great summer camp here.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Just start. That's a big cut that goes from like
ninety to fifty four or something. It's the big cut.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
I mean, at worst, at worst, he helped himself with
another team to pick him up, to put him on
the pressure squad because they'll look at him and go like,
this guy's like raw, and he can go like, let's
go do this the great story. All right, what do
you got present stats?

Speaker 4 (30:50):
Lets a little offensive line? Because of all the things
we're watching on Saturday, I still hop I come back
to this offensive line and on the sliding gale spectrum, what's.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
It going to be?

Speaker 4 (31:01):
From from your not any good to your elite? Where
does this line fall? Just a massive part of this
year's success or lack thereof, is going to be this
offensive line. So I was looking back at it again
and I think we know this, but when I was,
when I was putting the numbers to it, it, man,
it really jumped out. Let's look at the I'll give
you a projected starting five here. Okay, okay, we'll see

(31:23):
if it's confirmed. But let's just do a projected starting five,
and let's look at the snaps that these guys have played.
The returning snaps good for the projected starting lineup along
the offensive line doing snaps or games snaps all right,
snaps played. Tykes Crawford played ten snaps last season. He's

(31:46):
played five seasons of college football and only once played
more than one hundred and fifty five snaps in a season.
So he has six hundred and forty three career snaps
and fifty one percent of those came to the twenty
twenty three season, but ten laston.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Chemo six forty three. We're going on in the first time.

Speaker 4 (32:04):
I'm going snaps played last season ten Tyke S Crawford
all right. Keemo had zero snaps played along the offensive
line last year because he was a defensive lineman. He's
moved back over the offensive side. He's played sixty three
career snaps, but zero last year, zero last year.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
Pretty easy math to do. Through the first year.

Speaker 4 (32:24):
The d lineman Nick Cray was on the WV roster
last year, played five offensive snaps. All stats courtesy of
Pro Football Focused.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
By the way, so three or first, somebody's wrong, scream
with them. So for your first three, the average snaps
is five fifteen.

Speaker 4 (32:39):
Yes, correct, Now you take a big jump forward. Landon
Livingston played eighty six.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Snaps last year. Ain't that many?

Speaker 4 (32:47):
One twenty four in his entire career. The only guy
among the projected starting five here that's played a bunch
is Walter Young Bear. He played a ton of tells,
eight hundred and seventy four snaps last year, over one
thousand in his career. So if you look at these,
if you exclude Young Bear for a second, do the

(33:08):
number there eighty six five plus ten.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
One hundred and one divided by four twenty five snaps.

Speaker 4 (33:14):
Each for four of your offensive linemen, even if you
take Young Bear, even if you take Young Bear at
eight seventy four, go through some of these career snaps.
He's played eleven hundred career snaps. You've got eight hundred
and sixty career snaps for the other four, so basically
less than two thousand if you put all five together

(33:36):
in career snaps. Just listen to what you've had over
the past five years at w along the offensive line.
Wyatt Milan played twenty nine hundred, Nick Malone played fourteen hundred,
Thomas Remac two thousand and seventy one, Yates three thousand,
six hundred and thirty two Hubbard nineteen hundred, and Zach

(33:58):
Fraser thirty two hundred. So just because you've played Snaps
doesn't guarantee you're going to be good, and vice versa.
Just because you haven't played doesn't mean you can't be good.
But the inexperience, and we know that's the story of
this team, Hobby, these seventy new guys, the inexperience is
the story. With an offensive line that needs to be good,

(34:19):
you have a lot of inexperience there. So I'm anxious
to see how this unit works together and individually, which
of these guys emerge to turn out to be really
good players. And maybe we're talking in a couple of
years about these guys now at fifteen hundred career Snaps.
But as you sit today and you go into this
first game, there's a lot of inexperience along that offensive line.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
You know, Brad, that is an incredibly important point because
what do we tend to talk about Jeem White like
he's a player, he's a guy. He's a guy. Well,
he's a guy. And what's quarterback and has a quarterback? Right? Well, well,
if the quarterback has zero point five seconds, it's a
lot different than the quarterback has three seconds. If Jaheim
White has a space and gets two yards past the

(34:59):
line as opposed to somebody hits them in the backfield.
So you can be as talented as you wish, but
if you don't have those guys who have largely inexperienced
from last year, you got a problem.

Speaker 4 (35:08):
Yeah, So it's another point to why this schedule is
a nice start. You're going to have guys here that
athletically in size should have the advantage over Robert Morris
to get their feet wet and try and work out.
So you're trying to ask guys not just to individually
be good against the guy across from you, but tell me,
how many times do we say it when we go
back and watch film, that everything can look good one guy, missus,

(35:29):
his block blows the whole thing up. It's incredibly hard
to get everybody in sync. And this is just an
inexperienced group of offensive linemen here, so anxious to watch
them get started in their careers.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Here the thought I had passed through me this weekend
when trying to figure out exactly what it is that
we're dealing with here. This to me is as close
as you can get in the college game to an
NFL expansion team. So in the NFL, when they bring
in a new franchise, players have to come from other teams. Well,

(35:58):
what do you have at West virgin You've got seventy
plus new guys, right, and you have all tons of
transfers that have come in. So what's that normally mean? Well, unfortunately,
expansion teams don't do well. Carolina Panthers had the best
expansion season of like expansion teams, they went seven and

(36:19):
nine their first year. Most teams huddle around two and
a half wins three wins as expansion teams like Jacksonville
I think won four in their first year as a franchise.
So again, it's not apples, and it's not apples and apples.
It's more apples and oranges. But you get the point
that whenever you bring a bunch of new people together,

(36:42):
a new staff together, history says, And I know we
want to move history ahead, history says. It just takes time.
And you know another thing is you have to have
really really good players to be really really successful. That's
normally how it works. Just look at West Virginia University
when it's had its great teams, they've had superb players

(37:05):
who play in the National Football League. And so you
take a look at that eighty eight and that eighty
nine team that had really great runs loaded with NFL guys.
The Pat White teams that we oftentimes talk about, they
had a bunch of guys that played in the league.
Stevie Slat, Oen Schmidt, Pat White, Darius Ramont, among others.

(37:28):
I just gave you four there that all had we
were on the offensive side. And so if you do
the math, at this point, this roster is is not bleeding.
Hey mythical on draft boards in the NFL for this
coming year, there's not a ton of guys on that list.

(37:48):
So realistically, you're saying, like, Okay, you're gonna have to
super overachieve according to the experts to have success. That's
the reality of it. I don't like to hear it,
but that's the reality of it. Not to say it's
gonna happ but that's the realistic approach.

Speaker 4 (38:01):
So then mix in agbo Isosa and Carson Lee or
guys you're probably going to see as well mixed into
this line. So how does this group come together? And
then hop that sliding scale of where is this offensive
line as a unit in terms of how good are
they versus how much does the system and the fast
tempo help you?

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Right?

Speaker 4 (38:20):
I mean that's part of why you're doing this is
to gain an edge rather than just trying to line
up and smack the guy in front of you. You're
going to try not so much trickeration, but you're going
to hope the system and the speed helps you as well.
So how does that factor into this and that's going
to what makes the offense go here?

Speaker 1 (38:34):
Yeah, that's really a really important stat brand. Well done.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
Yeah, and again we go back to that offensive line
at WVU that recently was here, so a year ago.
It was before Zach with Zach was here, I remember
for numbers and Dana was here. It stood in my
head it was like seventy at seventy combined starts. It
might have been when Neil was just starting. It was
like seventy star and you would look at the other

(39:01):
teams like Oklahoma getting ready to play Oklahoma State, and
they're about in like three hundred plus starts and you're
going like, well, this isn't math. And then eventually and
two years later, like West Virginia was there at that
like three hundred isshes and those are to be really
good offensive line.

Speaker 4 (39:15):
Those career snap numbers I just gave you for guys.
I mean, I think we know that, but maybe you
forget how much football those guys played. And that's that
famous Zach Frasier. We started first offensive lineman the star
as a true freshman in forty years at least forty years.
Kept saying that, and then what happened, well following year,
then Wyatt Myelin comes in and does the same thing,
and then you had all these guys cycle through. That's
a lot of career snaps that you had along that line.

(39:36):
Now you're just in that rebuilding phase and which of
these guys step forth and turn into players down the line?

Speaker 2 (39:43):
Three guys before the game is brought to us in
part by the fine folks at lou Wendell. They're celebrating
their fortieth anniversary. They just happened to be the biggest
dealer in the state. When it comes to pontoon boats.
They are experts in their profession. That's why they've lasted
through the test of time. If you're into the boating
war world and you are interested in pontoons or any

(40:04):
kind of boating, they got it. Got those G three
John boats that are super super neat check them out
at lou Wendelmarine Sales dot com. That's lou Wendellmarinesales dot com.
If you are pond tuning up for the game, you know,
going through the river system, maybe some few creeks, a
few runs, things like that, certainly do stop by a

(40:26):
Tutor's biscuit world. They flourish when it comes to football season.
And right now they've got those three new barbecue sauces
that we've been talking about. Now they don't have any
ghost pepper, but they do have honey Saracha, Carolina Gold
and sweet Terioki. They've all just debuted. And you put
a little bit of that honey saracha on that pulled pork.

(40:51):
Remember Jerry Klower hoppy, It'll make it, it'll take you,
it'll leave you as Jerry Lewis wont Jerry lee Lewis
wants it, It'll leave you breathless, So visit them. By
the way, they're gonna bring that up to us. They
tell you that what they're bringing the sauce here. Oh really, yeah,
one of these days they're going to bring the sauce
is a barbecue, all three of the new ones, so

(41:11):
we can taste them. What about the stick a figure
and they and be like, no, they're probably gonna bring something.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
The ghost pepper in in the Guinness Book of World Records,
the ghost pepper is the world's hottest chili pepper, right,
one hundred and seventy times hotter than Tabasco sauce.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
Yeah, that'll work one hundred and seventy. So then these
guys are going to come into to uh Buffalo Wild
Wings and eat those wings. You think there's there's pa
you know what, Unfortunately I got bad news. Here's what's
going to happen. We're gonna be over there at Buffalo
Wild Wings on Wednesday doing that live show, and we're
gonna have that table that says if you want to
compete in the Blazing Hot contest, you know what's gonna happen,

(41:53):
and we'll be there for two hours. No one's gonna
sit at that table so somebody, somebody, you just set
one hundred and seventy times hotter, and no one's going
to sit there.

Speaker 1 (42:01):
Way, But you'll, I know what you'll do. You'll go
them into it.

Speaker 4 (42:06):
You will over under set it two and a half
on contestants.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
Yeah, well that's good, that's good bread.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
That's under over, it'll be empty. They're poor people that
at Buffalo Wa Wings are going to cook all those
blazing hot wings and no one's gonna eat them over.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
I'm gonna over. I'm gonna overtoo. That's three and a half. Mhm.
Now you're getting up there.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
Zero over two and a half. It won't it won't
be under zero.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
The ghost Chili is rated more than one million Scoville
heat units and far surpasses the amount of a cayenne pepper.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
Do you know how hard it is to do this?
You know how hard?

Speaker 1 (42:45):
How hard that is a great name.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
Yeah, do you know how hard it is? It's so hard.
It's so hard. They put your picture on the wall
if you do it, which means like people don't do it.

Speaker 4 (42:54):
I didn't say someone's going to be able to do it.
I said there will be people that will step.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
Up to the challenge.

Speaker 4 (43:00):
It's your mountaineer fans. You don't think they'll step up
to the challenge to give me some of that Carolina Reaper.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
I mean, bring it on, yeah, I mean you're.

Speaker 1 (43:07):
Not gonna do it that.

Speaker 4 (43:08):
Well, I got to do that high school game Thursday.
I think this would crush.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
Me for days. Oh yeah, he's not He would never
do that. I wouldn't either. Just can't do like hot
stuff though. Well, there's there, there's a difference. Okay, I
like my food a little spicy. This is not that. No,
how about if I hit you in the head with
a sledgehammer.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
Three guys brought to us by Comac's Business Systems, and
this is a perfect tie in. If you're really really
hot in Komac's business maybe Comacs who bring a water
machine in and just set it up there next to
the table. Because right now they've got these unbelievable water
systems and water machines for your breakroom, whatever room you
have at your workplace that you can keep your folks

(43:49):
hydrated instead of having to do bottles and plastic and
all that kind of stuff. They've introduced the I twelve
water cooler. Sleek design meets cutting edge technology. If you
are a business or a business that needs to Hey,
let's take a look and clean things up when it
comes to our water. I mean nothing worse than carrying
all that plastic water around. Just get the machine. Visit

(44:10):
COMASWUV dot com. That's COMASWV dot com.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
What do you got? In Northeast India, the ghost peppers
are used as a safety precaution to keep wild elephants
at at a distance. Holy heck, elephants elephants, says, I
don't I don't wait part of that, man, I think

(44:35):
I want that much trunk. What's this called Blazon Wings Challenge? Yeah? Yeah,
I'm not even sure I can go in the building now.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
Yeah, it's a blazing blazing challenge. Ten you eat ten
of the wings, ten knockout wings in five minutes, and
you get your picture on the wall, a thousand Blazon
rewards points, and a fifty dollars episode eight hundred gift
card to buy our stuff.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
So we'll be there.

Speaker 4 (44:58):
Were six to eight, so that's open from six.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
Yeah, but unfortunately, like that, I know the music's going
to happen. I know we're gonna talk high school football
and we're gonna do Unfortunately, probably no one will do
this though, and will probably I will try to get
someone for the next time.

Speaker 1 (45:10):
We're gonna talk mountin Neir football too.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
Of course that goes with it, but unfortunately no one's
going to try to do it.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
And then there we no elephants there because we kept
away by the over two and a half.

Speaker 2 (45:19):
So you often accused me of getting in some rabbit holes,
like on YouTube of the Small Pirate, I got in this,
I got into the algorithm this weekend. We're this lion,
this lion, we're hoppy. Hoppy took one of these things.
He was out there and his lion, the lion, this
is a wild dogs started messing with the lioness. So okay,

(45:43):
you want to play that game. And they're like huddenly
getting out like hys, like those defensive back so like
they were like being cornerbacks on the lions.

Speaker 1 (45:56):
And cornerbacks are like ya just d.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
Yeah, and they always think they're always giving you this
like when it passing, Yeah, well I got that fake
wide receivers always say that about those guys. Anyway, So
his lion is they're messing with her, that's that right, Okay,
So she she goes into this like water pond where

(46:28):
they can't get her because they're not going in there
to get They're not going to go in low against
her because she's in the water. That right goes over
and gets the main lion like from what like the
male the big old head got that hair a He comes,
he comes back in the next day, he comes in,
the next day, he goes into that dog den and

(46:51):
he gets himself a dog. And you know, I hate hyenas,
like I absolutely despise hyenas, like I'd like to kill
them all right, wow, machine gun their ass. Anyway, he
gets a dog by the neck and he just starts
going rag doll with that thing.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
And my other dogs running there. They had a little
bit different demeter than no, no, no, no, we're good
like we're good like we'll be leaving now.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
Yeah. So here's your lesson. Don't ever mess with a lioness,
right because the lion king don't come.

Speaker 4 (47:28):
It will get a little better that the king went
in the next day.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
Next next morning. Oh is that right? Harry had a
little situation here last night, and I loved it because
I knew those teeth were right in that dog's neck.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
What are you doing all right? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (47:52):
Really, I told you, I told you I went down
the rabbit hole? How many? Heck? Right, I need a
break something, I needed a break. I was doing those
by on notes on the Mountaineer football players into my charts.
There's seventy guys. I mean, this is like you got
a lot to learn. It was like taking a final exam.

(48:15):
I mean, some of these guys have been like the
nineteen schools and trying to figure that all out.

Speaker 1 (48:19):
What are you gonna do with that? Are you just
you're not gonna But.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
How many schools they've been to? Oh yeah, I make
a note of that. I'll find it quite interesting. There's
a guy that graduated in twenty seventeen high school.

Speaker 1 (48:34):
I graduated in seventeen, somebody.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
Some guys just slips through the cracks. There's kids that
are playing riches last year.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
Here Rich say, yeah, he's a pretty good player as
my teammate.

Speaker 2 (48:49):
Alright, three guys brought to us by episode eight hundred
dot com Textual Healing. You can hit us up three
O four four or four forty eighty three three or
four four eighty three? You ready for some of this?

Speaker 1 (49:05):
Yep?

Speaker 2 (49:07):
All right? This guy used to be a regular early
on in the show. Oh by the way, parenthetically, this
coming Saturday will literally be the eight year anniversary of
when we started Three Guys August thirty of How coincidental
is that that our very first day we ever did.

(49:28):
This will be the eight year anniversary of our first
game of the season three point I don't look lately.
Three point two million.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
Downloads, that's just the audio. That's just the audio.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
And then well maybe we'll build a little graphic of
how many hours and all that kind of stuff. A
lot of shows.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
Yeah, don't know what.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
This is six fifty two, so we're down to what
last one hundred and forty eight before we retire, sail
off into the sunset. Yeah, people will be saying, kind
of like the Beatles, they still had so much left
in them.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
It went off in different directions.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
Yeah, Hi, this is Rich from Indy. I have a
question for the Hopster. When did the block party on
Grand Avenue first come into existence?

Speaker 1 (50:13):
The block Party on Grand Avenue, that's when Sunnyside was
really cooking. All the bars were in Sunnyside, That's where
Buddy gathered was in Sunnyside, and Grand Avenue was a long,
flat street just a little bit up from Sunnyside, and
every year it was an annual unbelievable bash. I mean,
the whole street would just be a giant block party.

(50:35):
And then it got out of control, and in nineteen
ninety five I think was the last one. And then
after actually it led to cracking down on the Grand
Avenue block party. Sunnyside kind of dissipated. Now it's all downtown,
and it led to fall Fest. Yeah, so that's the
story there. And the first fall Fest I think was

(50:55):
maybe ninety six.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
John in New Jersey. Why do you guys think of
the earthly betting line? What do you guys think of
the early betting line? West Virginia Pit Guys, we're getting
between a point and a half and two and a
half points as the underdogs. Question Mark, is that true? Brot?

Speaker 1 (51:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (51:09):
Two and a half right now as we sit on
DraftKings right now, it simply was so much unknown. West
Virginia is just such an unknown quantity right here. That's
that's probably not a huge surprise, but you know, you
start to look down this, I'm thinking West Virginia is
only favored this season. As we sit here today. Again,

(51:29):
all kinds of things change and circumstances change each week,
but I think right now you can only identify maybe
four five's probably pushing it games that West Virginia will
be favored. And that's part of why we were talking
about the what are your expectations for this season? I
think you have to be cognizant that you're going to
be playing in an underdog role in a lot of these.

(51:49):
You'll be favored against Robert Morris, You'll be favored against
Ohio you You'll likely be favored against UCF Houston. Right now,
if you look at a bunch of different power rankings,
they and West Virginia are out even and you're going
to be on the road in that So maybe maybe not.
What's Colorado's status coming in here? You certainly wouldn't be
favored over Colorado today, but maybe that changes down the line.

(52:10):
You know your home games in Conference UTAW, TCU, Colorado,
and Texas Tech. Are you favored in any of those?

Speaker 2 (52:18):
Well?

Speaker 1 (52:18):
Probably today? No?

Speaker 4 (52:20):
Today, no today, no, And on the road Kansas no
by you know then UCF and Houston and the Arizona State,
so no, yeah, So this is from that perspective, West
Virginia is gonna be swinging from an underdog role most
of these games.

Speaker 1 (52:33):
Yeah, with what you know today and the fact if
you take off the golden blue glasses and know that
West Virginia seventy new players quarterback, we have to see
you just talked about the offensive line. Pitt has a
returning quarterback. Yeah, Pitt would be the favorite today. And
you know what, though, home dog against Pitt, I take
that home dog.

Speaker 4 (52:49):
Again because that's basically a toss up game.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
Yeah. Yeah, and that's typically the mountain here. You one,
I'd rather almost rather be a home dog again.

Speaker 2 (52:57):
In the pit game than favored Western.

Speaker 4 (53:00):
Wind total in most places was five and a half.
I saw one on DraftKings last night. Conference win total
just two and a half. Now heavily juiced to the over,
but that was at two and a half.

Speaker 1 (53:11):
So there are some numbers for.

Speaker 2 (53:12):
You, Texter. This is what walking in the Mountaineer man
trip looks like. Have a great season, Tony. I'm bringing
my daughter up for campus tour from Venice, Florida, coming
up on Friday the twenty fourth. We have that there
you go, hop there's a picture.

Speaker 1 (53:28):
Great shot. That's a great, great shot.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
Yeah, so thank you, thank you very much, and we
hope that your daughter who's at Venice High, hope you
got a friend in Venice, Florida, don't you?

Speaker 1 (53:37):
I do, John Lee. That is a great opportunity.

Speaker 4 (53:39):
That's one of my favorite parts of being around a
team is the walk into a stadium or a basketball arena.
Hop that's that's a neat experience there that Gomarrt's given away.
Just a couple more days to register.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
Nathan from Charleston, South Carolina. Enough the SEC is going
to nine league games. Do you think the Alabama series
continues or gets canceled? No, dead doesn't get gone dead
on arrivals. See you later, Joey B and Princeton guys,
No need to read this text unless you want to. Lol.

Speaker 1 (54:07):
Just a question.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
I'm bringing the three guys gender reveal baby up next
Friday for the food court to meet you guys. I'm
wondering if we can effort a three guys before the
game onesie for him for a picture with you all.
As always appreciate. Yet, remember we did that baby reveal
and now the baby's here, and so they're going to
bring us up and we get a picture.

Speaker 1 (54:25):
Made with the baby. That'd be nice.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
That was our first and only picture reveal. We retired
after that of baby reveal. I should say Logan and Mannington.
This week, the week of the State Fair in Louisbourg,
my wife and I saw Zach Top highlight of my
day during the show was the eat Blank pit chant
going on almost between every song. Love hearing me the
same love for WVU and hate against Pitt that far

(54:47):
down south. I also got the chance started on my
birthday during the Nate Smith concert. Can't wait to get
rich Rod back. Watch some football. Thanks guys. Oh, this
is a good one here. This's going to require pictures
and video. Remember Brian was going overseas and he said
he was going to keep up to date with us. Yeah,
when he was on his way to Peru, he met
all those people at the gate, he says, lima Peru, Hello,

(55:14):
oh La. Trey Chicos. Really enjoyed the last episode with
the Wren and the President. Great to hear the two
of them, along with the the board, are fully aligned
on the importance of WVU athletics. I've liked everything I've
heard about the President so far, but at the end
of the day, the show skyrocketed. In my book, as
a fellow Orange theory Jim Goer, I was fired up
to hear the president Benson not only tackled the two

(55:37):
thousand meter row benchmark, he absolutely crushed it a six
point fifty three. That is seriously impressive. So he must
be really good on that rower. Did you see did
Wren tweet out a picture of the president throwing a pass?

Speaker 1 (55:53):
Was it? Did you see that the president put one out? Oh?

Speaker 2 (55:56):
The President throwing a.

Speaker 1 (55:57):
Pass looks like a pretty good form. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
Is he in the quarterback room? There's enough of them
in there, he could probably came getting more in there.
Sounds like some good news in federal court with the
players in their eligibility for this. Okay, now he's eating
here in Peru, check out some of this for this
stop rate my plate. We've got a lomo saltall Doo

(56:25):
saltado along with savici. One of the most iconic and
traditional dishes in Peru stir fry marinated beef strips, onions, tomatoes,
and peppers. Typically you watching his bread served over fries
and rice. This particular one had loads of red onions,
thinly sliced bell peppers, with a garnish of fresh cilantro.

(56:46):
Absolutely fantastic. Now we normally don't do videos here because
the quality doesn't transfer well when you text it in.
Check this thing out. This is called a chocolate magic ball.
It is a brownie with watch it but watches a
brownie with vanilla ice cream sealed inside a chocolates sphere.

(57:07):
So when you pour it, the warm chocolate sauce is
poured over the top, it melts the shell and then boom,
it pops open and then you got that brownie with
vanilla ice cream inside. So you just have just a delight.

Speaker 1 (57:21):
Is that one scoop of vanilla?

Speaker 2 (57:23):
Got sure? Next up?

Speaker 1 (57:25):
Bread needs two or three?

Speaker 2 (57:27):
Next up, deconstructed Terra masou. All the marscapone cream and
soaked cookies are layered in a glass and an espresso
shot is poured through a chocolate topper, melting it as
it streams in. Watch this one. The coffee here is
absolutely incredible. So I tell you what they're doing, some
nice things.

Speaker 1 (57:45):
They're in Peru and Brian's living it up.

Speaker 2 (57:48):
Well hell yeah, Brian is.

Speaker 1 (57:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
So they poured that espresso shot in there, and that
makes it.

Speaker 1 (57:54):
Really super nice, like a magic show while you're.

Speaker 2 (57:56):
Eating exactly Yeah, all of a sudden went to dinner
last night and Doug Henning showed up dug in reference
one last overrunner for the Senator Friday night at your
local Mexican eatery, did you go over under twenty seven
and a half chips before your meal? Sadly over, brad

(58:20):
Tony sometimes hoppy. Real question on the double biscuit debacle
is can you finish a whole big tater in one setting?
The big tat the epicenter of all breakfast combinations of tutors,
the question is have you all had a big tater?
Can you finish in one setting? Cayleb from the Edge
of the Gorge and Fayatt County Long time, no Sea,
We're back.

Speaker 1 (58:39):
I have not had one. That's a good question.

Speaker 2 (58:41):
Big tater is what we have to add out of there.
So next time you go to tutors, figure it out
for yourself. Get yourself a big tater.

Speaker 1 (58:48):
What is it again?

Speaker 2 (58:49):
It's tutors. They have a big tater thing, whole big
tater obviously away from the biscuit, more of a.

Speaker 1 (58:57):
Potato andre and you need to try it.

Speaker 2 (59:00):
Last show, thirteen fifty five into the show. With all
due respect, Tony references Morgantown against Parkersburg South. In reality,
it's Parkersburg. I'm a Parkersburg grat here still dislikes South
as much as Hoppy dislikes eating out for lunch. We
know Hoppy wouldn't have messed that one up, but it's okay,
keep it moving, love three guys. Yeah, my bad, I said.

(59:23):
I said Parkersburg South. It's the Big Reds. It's not
Parkersburg South. But I do delight in the fact that
whenever you come across Parkersburg people, I always start it with, hey, South,
are you big red Ah?

Speaker 1 (59:34):
That talk about a rivalry.

Speaker 2 (59:35):
That's truly that that might be this Like a lot
of them have dissolved because of consolidation, but that one there,
they still don't like each other.

Speaker 4 (59:44):
No, that's like you can talk to older people there
and they still well, you.

Speaker 2 (59:48):
Go talk about Fairmount East and Fairmount West. They used
to fight each other on the bridge. Seriously, that's not
a joke. I mean they would fight each other like
they'd fight down the bridge. That's kind of dissipated.

Speaker 4 (01:00:00):
So this was Morgantown High against Parkersburg, which is kicking
off high school football season comes up on Thursday.

Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
Yeah, well happen you have your game? You doing that game?
That's the game? Yeah on Metro News TV, Metrons TV.

Speaker 2 (01:00:11):
Okay, these folks say. We're Rosemary Beach in Florida having dinner.
Halfway through, the waitress named Olivia asked where we're from.
We say, West Virginia. She lights up, says she went
to school in Morgantown swam for WV. Turns out she
was on the team with my cousin's kids, Morgan and
Nate Carr. Then she says her last name is Halflinn.
She's Ed Heffland's niece. Who would have thought that Ed's

(01:00:35):
Daughter's been close friends with my wife and I since
undergrad a WVU. We were just at a concert with
her Thursday. From the Rosemary Beach all the way back
to some of our closest West Virginia is always a
West Virginia connection.

Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
There they are they.

Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
Met up there? Yeah, that looks like about one hundred
and twenty five dollars a plate restaurant to me. I mean,
I don't think you're getting none of there under much
less than that, would you say? So?

Speaker 1 (01:00:56):
Hop looks like.

Speaker 2 (01:00:58):
So that's about a buck in a quarter. Ye, each
is a place where Kerchival would never.

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
Go see probably wouldn't actually.

Speaker 2 (01:01:06):
Texter Devrees yard sale, priceless, hoppy, funny stuff. That was
a great line. You've had two great lines last two shows.
You call west over East Berlin and you said there.

Speaker 1 (01:01:19):
Because of the construction. Of course it's only construction, and
because of checkpoint Charlie over there where you have if
you're trying to get into do you think you're going? No,
this is not the vate to Grenville. I have a
be keeping a pestport Granviell. You gotta go now, you
gotta go, like to Pennsylvania, circle around.

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
Across the river, take a ferry to the river doug
and Bridgeport here. I was planning on retiring. More likely
I thought it was played out in full disclosure. I
wasn't a fan of bringing Rich back. But it's football season,
best time of the year. How can you not be
excited when it comes down to this. Regardless, I'm rooting
for the team. Hope win. I think we scuffle some
going three or seven or four and eight, but hoping

(01:02:03):
for better. If Rich gets as Bowl eligible with ninety transfers,
cut the red tape, building a statue. Also more likely
is what I do. And like with any good football team,
everyone as small as it might be, has to play
its part. So here we go, Bob Morris. More likely
to happen.

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
I've dug credit.

Speaker 4 (01:02:20):
He took one of my bits and does it better
than I do, puts more time into it than I do.

Speaker 1 (01:02:24):
He's done a nice job with this. It's well, it
is well done. Well, you're busy.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
You're getting ready for that pepper eating contest over there.

Speaker 4 (01:02:29):
A lot than we always would do on Thursday nights
are more likely.

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
All right? When do we make in predictions Wednesday? What game?
I mean season predictions? I don't know. Prediction shows last
night on Sportslane? Could have join that heard you on
six and six.

Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
Guy walking this morning, got near the football stadium, walks
by me. He said, Brad went six and six. I said,
excuse me, sir? He said, Brad went six and six?

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
I saw?

Speaker 2 (01:02:51):
Did he write?

Speaker 1 (01:02:52):
Is that right over the wind? Total?

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
What was the average on the show? Do you know?

Speaker 1 (01:02:56):
Seven ish?

Speaker 4 (01:02:57):
I think it came out to like six point nine
to nine in six is a five?

Speaker 1 (01:03:02):
Six? Five? Six? Is right? There, it's five and a
half right there, So you got it.

Speaker 4 (01:03:07):
But that one win, that sixth win, That's why I
think that pick pack is a huge swing. So that
you start out three and oh, you feel pretty good
about your your over your over position.

Speaker 2 (01:03:18):
Absolutely, Texter. Is it more likely?

Speaker 1 (01:03:21):
Can I ask one thing? Are you including Pitt in
that six? Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
Is it more likely that three quarterbacks take snaps in
the Robert Morris game? Or or there are two or
more quarterback rushing touchdowns?

Speaker 4 (01:03:36):
I think there'll be more than two quarterback rushing touchdowns.

Speaker 1 (01:03:39):
Really wow?

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
Is it more likely that we have three sacks against
Robert Morris? Or we have a turnover margin equal to
or over plus two? He points out improving the turnover
margin absolutely necessary this season.

Speaker 1 (01:03:54):
I think it's tough on turnover margin in game one
when who knows? That's a good one.

Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
I'll go three secs. Last one. Is it more likely
we've got one hundred yard rusher in the game or
a seventy five yard receiver?

Speaker 1 (01:04:10):
Those good, good numbers. Give me a one hundred yard rusher?

Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
You say, jaheem goes for a hunting h Okay. He
closes by saying the Bridgeport Indians roll like a big
wheel this year, just as Parkersburg South or the Venerated
Spring Mills are scrimmage partners this year. You want to
see a great game, put your calendar down. October three,
Maryland Perennial, champ Ford Hill lines up comes to Wayne

(01:04:33):
Jamison Field should be epic. Seth and Clarksburg writes, can't
believe the season starts this week. I'm excited, even though
not much as expected. When coach Rye was here before,
football was exciting. He was great at finding developing talent.
Do you know if the players get any bonus or
incentive pay like the pros. Let's say Jaheem White goes

(01:04:57):
for a thirty yard TV run to win a game
against Pitt Could he get a monetary bonus for that?
Just curious? Thank you the Seth in Clarksburg, we've talked
about that.

Speaker 1 (01:05:06):
I don't think he's so so.

Speaker 2 (01:05:09):
University wise, No, there's nothing in their agreements that say, hey,
if you score a game winning touchdown, you get X,
Y and Z now down the road years to come.
Who knows if that's in there. However, However, I mean,
I don't understand why you couldn't do that if you're
a social media person that's got a massive following, for

(01:05:31):
example that's got a big mountaineer following, like you could
get on there after a game and say, hey, Jaheim
White showed the dude some love. He had a thirty
yard touchdown to beat Pitt here's a code that will
venmo him X. There's nothing that can stop that from happening.
There's not what would stop that, right, Brad, what would

(01:05:52):
stop that? If a fan said that.

Speaker 1 (01:05:53):
I think there's an issue, and I don't remember what
it is. I don't think he can do that. I
think that's I think that's what I might have checked
on that that that might have gotten in a way
of our three guys past the hat at the game plan.
Remember if somebody had a big game, we were gonna like,
let's all chip like the announcers. And now, because Jaheim
White had one hundred and forty yards, when you leave
the stadium, drop a few bucks into the bucket.

Speaker 4 (01:06:15):
Instead of he Instead of for a fifty to fifty drawing,
you would instead just put it to player.

Speaker 1 (01:06:20):
Yeah, yeah, don't.

Speaker 4 (01:06:21):
I don't know that you can do that, but I
mean I have no idea what the rules are.

Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
We'll look into that.

Speaker 1 (01:06:26):
I mean, I don't know if there are rules, and
I don't know what they are. Here's the rule. Sometimes
you can do it, sometimes you can't. That's true.

Speaker 2 (01:06:37):
Mike from Gilbert by way of Dallas. I'd like to
know what you three think of over underwins. How many
will take before all of the rich rod haters get
back on board? Thanks, let's go three. You win the
first three, everyone who's on the fence jumps back over
on the fence. Three Texter. I had no idea that

(01:07:01):
Nate Adrian lived his first few years in Fort Ashby.
They should claim him hang a banner. But I'm glad
he ended up transferring to Morgantown because he would have
played for Frankfurt also known as the Pit of Mineral Countyser.

Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
You know what that old kaiser Frankfort rivalry.

Speaker 4 (01:07:20):
Yeah, Frankfort with a world championship last year hig school football.

Speaker 2 (01:07:23):
That also tells you that that gentleman Dave.

Speaker 1 (01:07:26):
They were big. I did that game line devilin.

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
Dave, Like he must have gone back because we haven't
had Nate Adrian on a long time, so he just
must have been like what do you call that? Like
just going back and listening to old episodes.

Speaker 1 (01:07:39):
Where is Nate?

Speaker 2 (01:07:40):
He's here right, Yeah, it was over Deep Creek working
at boat place.

Speaker 4 (01:07:44):
Got a business over there in Deep Creek Marine World
and his brother.

Speaker 2 (01:07:48):
Yeah, we saw him at the event. Oh were you
not there? Oh he was at snow Wall. I really
know you didn't notice. That's why Nate was there.

Speaker 1 (01:08:03):
Well that look if I wasn't there, but Nate was.
It's like three guys, I mean he's there. Yeah, he
and our interchange Floyd went with us too, So we
were okay, oh.

Speaker 2 (01:08:12):
Okay, asp really oh yeah, three guys before the game
is brought to us by Jan Dill's attorneys at law.
They won't take no for an answer when it comes
to VA benefits. They are experts in the field military
benefits as well. If you are someone that you know
needs help in that world social Security benefit claims, military

(01:08:36):
veteran benefit claims, contact them because they do it every
single day. They do it literally around this country fifty states.
They're in all fifty states, but they're based here in
West Virginia, and so if you need help, that is
their area. They guide you through what is a bureaucratic

(01:08:56):
long winding Road, and they do take a single penny
unless you receive money. Visit Jan Dill's attorneys at law.
They will not take no for an answer. Jan's a huge.

Speaker 1 (01:09:09):
Football fan is Oh yeah, she.

Speaker 2 (01:09:11):
Likes football Texter. This is good because it takes a
shot at Hoppy. I scored three loaves of the Grateful
bread sour dough last week, not telling Hoppy where I
got it. I ate one, froze two, all three fantastic.
As Tony has always said, it's the bread that makes
a sandwich. Had it the first night with pasta excellent.

(01:09:35):
Next day grilled cheese monster sharp cheddar and white American.
Absolutely the best grilled cheese I have ever had.

Speaker 1 (01:09:41):
Well, obviously his papers were in order and he could
get through Checkpoint Charlie over there to get the bread.

Speaker 2 (01:09:46):
Yeah, oh, I just meant that. I just saw this
line too. You don't have to read this on the air, sheep.
By the way, you can order that bread at episode
eight hundred dot com and you can pick it up
at the food court this weekend. I want to turn
your mic on.

Speaker 1 (01:10:01):
Why'd you turn me off? Pick it up Saturday.

Speaker 2 (01:10:04):
Food Court presented by our folks at Clear Mountain Bank.
Nice to have those guys with us, great time on board. Yeah,
this is a good one. I work at Ruby last
week two days in a row, I'm going into work,
I noticed a goat walking along the sidewalk and awaited vest.
Just so happened that I'm in the middle of framing
jerseys for the man Cave I have currently working on

(01:10:27):
the one this particular goat donned in the Professional Pigskin League.
I got the idea to bring the jersey with me
and if by chance I see him walking, I'm going
to ask him to sign it. Well, today was that day.
I felt really bad interrupting his work out, but he
was very gracious and he signed it for me. The
goat there it was, he said, I was faced that

(01:10:49):
Pat White signed is Miami Dolphins jersey. I was face
to face with the man that provided me with the
four best years of my sports fandom life. It felt surreal.
I heard you talk about him walking around the stadium
on the pod last week and the Senator mentioned getting autographs.
I just wanted to get ahead of this and say
I had the idea before that was mentioned, and I
don't condone interrupting his workout. PS you guys have Ren's ear.

(01:11:13):
Tell him to hang five in the banners. That's a
sacred number. It needs to be associated with one name
and one name only. Hashtag retire five.

Speaker 1 (01:11:22):
Hey, Speaking of which, I see you guys have come
out with the Hall of Fame class.

Speaker 2 (01:11:27):
Yes, yeah, and Pat McAfee going in.

Speaker 4 (01:11:31):
He is, congratulations to Pat the whole class. How about
so you get two of the all time great characters
with courlavin Pat yeah and Antony, I said, and I'm
sure you echo this sentiment. I was thrilled to see
Pat and coach Stu going in at the same time,
as big a fan as Stu was of Pat and
Pats of Stu, and how close Pat remained to Blaine.

(01:11:52):
I thought that was a nice, nice touch, nice tie,
that Stu and Pat going together.

Speaker 2 (01:11:58):
I saw someone after it came out kind of criticize
how Pat McAfee got in, thinking, wow, he got in
there because of his stardom. Well, there's this gentleman I
saw it on the Twitter named Greg Harvey does stat stuff.
Here's why Pat McAfee deserves to be in the WU

(01:12:19):
Hall of Fame, if for nothing else. Since nineteen ninety six,
only one FBS FCS football player has recorded a forty
yard punt average with a minimum of one hundred punts,
three hundred and fifty or more kicking points, and a
sixty percent field goal percentage on fifty yard attempts in
their college career. Name Pat McAfee had a great career.

Speaker 1 (01:12:42):
He did a great career, and.

Speaker 2 (01:12:44):
He's famous, so you go Hall of Fame. I forgot
when he was a little dude. He was in punt
pass and kick. Did you ever see a video that's hilarious.

Speaker 1 (01:12:53):
Yeah, when he gets booed.

Speaker 2 (01:12:54):
Yeah, when he gets booed, he's wearing a Steelers jersey.
It was in Indianapolis, was in.

Speaker 4 (01:13:01):
Now It certainly deserves curlab happy for him all the again,
worthy as it is every year. But those those three particular,
four particular football players, including Daryl Whitmore, was was neat,
but Patt and Stell going in was the was the
highlight for me.

Speaker 1 (01:13:14):
And Daryl Whitmore to sports sport.

Speaker 2 (01:13:16):
Yeah, I mean football, baseball, and he went to the
majors in baseball and was an All American in football.
So I'm thrilled.

Speaker 1 (01:13:23):
A pretty good player. He was really good.

Speaker 2 (01:13:25):
Good kid.

Speaker 1 (01:13:27):
Where's he.

Speaker 2 (01:13:30):
For some reason, I want to say, like he was
in Indiana, he was a minor league coach for a
long time.

Speaker 1 (01:13:38):
I don't know what he's doing. I haven't.

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
I haven't thrilled that he's in. I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:13:42):
I guess I can't see. Haven't seen that I'm going
to do.

Speaker 2 (01:13:46):
I don't know if Pat will come in for the
ceremony because of college game day, it's the Utah weekend.
I doubt much that he will, but I probably videotaped
something in but her lab at the podium.

Speaker 1 (01:14:00):
Who's running to delay on that?

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
Yeah, you're lab at the podium will be will be
really really good. So six person class and that's the
morning or the afternoon, whatever the game time turns out
to be for Utah, that that'll be happening. So we
got that going for us, which is kind of nice.

Speaker 4 (01:14:18):
I think our last start of the week's show. That's
not a game review for three months. Yeah, market down right,
here we go.

Speaker 1 (01:14:27):
Let's go, you guys.

Speaker 2 (01:14:31):
Yeah, this is pretty wild. I'm anxiously looking forward to
see what happens here. I mean, you know it's supposed
to happen, like you're supposed to just kind of go
through a first year and you don't know. I mean,
like so many things we have to see. Can this
team run the ball between the tackles. If you can,
then game on. If you struggle doing that, then it's

(01:14:54):
going to take creativity to move.

Speaker 4 (01:14:56):
The balltect the ball. Can you not turn the ball over?
Can you get some takeaways? Can you get pressure on
the quarterback and the defensive backs looking proved?

Speaker 1 (01:15:04):
Go on, go on.

Speaker 4 (01:15:04):
There's a million questions. I think that's what what's fun,
just makes it fun.

Speaker 1 (01:15:09):
And even and we always say, well, wait, un till
you start to see some games in you'll know. And
how many seasons have we seen where you're six, seven,
eight games in you and you say, we're still not sure.
I'm still not sure if taking on the balls. So
you just don't know. But that's that's part of the
fun of sport. If it was if you knew, you
wouldn't go, if you knew you wouldn't pay attention. Correct,
So let's see, let's find out. By the way you
