Today’s episode assumes college football will start on time for the 2020 season. It’s not guaranteed, and some alternatives are discussed, but fingers are crossed as Chris and Mike compare starting June 1, July 1 and Aug. 1.

Wed, 04 Mar 2020 06:55:00 -0000

West Virginia can feel like a winner again and doesn’t have to worry about a string of losses away from home any longer. The Mountaineers defeated Iowa State in a back-and-forth game that saw the best and sometimes the worst of this team. But wins matter right now, and WVU took care of a few lingering questions in snapping a three-game slide and a six-game streak away from home.

Tue, 25 Feb 2020 04:02:00 -0000

The script repeated itself once again Monday night as the Mountaineers committed turnovers, missed free throws, couldn’t rely on the 3-point line, ran players in and out of the game and lost on the road. They’re 1-5 in the last six games and 1-7 on the road in Big 12 play, and consequently they have a losing record in conference play. How bad is it and how bad can it get?

Sun, 16 Feb 2020 00:59:36 -0000

No harm in losing to the best team in the country, but West Virginia had stretches Saturday that rank among the worst of the season. The Mountaineers have lost three in a row and have to switch things up in a hurry against a favorable schedule so that they can preserve their postseason positioning. Chris and Mike discuss all of that after the breakdowns in Waco and wonder if you can criticize the offense when it doesn’t really run offense.

Chris and Mike meet up to discuss what continues to go wrong, what reasons exist to think it will change and what adjustments they saw against the Jayhawks.

It's a short week at WVU, but it's a busy one, too. Chris and Mike (with a cameo by a dead bird!) look ahead to the final football game of the season and what to expect against TCU and what to look for in the future. Gary Patterson takes away what an opposing offense does best, which makes WVU kind of tricky. Can the offensive line improve in the offseason? How much of a gap will exist between that group and the rest of the 2020 offense? The Mountaineers can win the Cancun Challenge, but they or Northern Iowa will blink first in tonight's game. And Logan Routt must be on call in Mexico and perhaps beyond.

Country Roads Confidential - WVU isn't bowled over by one win

Tue, 19 Nov 2019 23:21:27 -0000

West Virginia football has a lot to play for, but Neal Brown isn't saying much about what's on the line. Does that undersell the opportunity or continue the plan he began at halftime against Missouri? Chris and Mike cover that as well as who and what have improved (or not) on offense and defense, how to build a game plan to stop Oklahoma State and more. Then they bounce to basketball and detail the Culver/Tshiebwe dynamic, Jordan McCabe's season so far and exactly how to appreciate Jermaine Haley. But first: Was might right or wrong at Best Buy?

Two teams with first-year coaches and lengthy losing streaks meet in Morgantown Saturday afternoon. We'll see whether Texas Tech's defense or West Virginia's offense can break out of a funk and which new coach stays out of the basement. Additionally, two more players are no longer part of the program, and there are surely more on the way out when the season is complete. What can WVU do to recover and how long will that take?

West Virginia's third straight loss was like and unlike the other two before it. The Mountaineers played a good half and faded, but the opponent was uniquely qualified to do damage. WVU was beat up entering the game and had to make some changes and then improvise a little once the game started. Chris and Mike cover everything from the 52-14 defeat, try to find a positive spin and look ahead for what and who is next.

Upon additional review, Chris and Mike discuss exactly what happened (and who's to blame) on big plays against Texas and who has to make the big plays against Iowa State. The Cyclones have a rare defense and an efficient offense, but it's nothing WVU hasn't seen already. Will that help?

Sun, 06 Oct 2019 01:35:21 -0000

West Virginia doesn't feel like it was that far away from a different outcome Saturday, and the stats and the scoreboard don't completely disagree. Texas won 42-31, but the Mountaineers know turnovers, missed field goals and some iffy defense at inopportune times were too much to overcome against the talented Longhorns. This episode explores all of that, plus Neal Brown's aggressive defense of Austin Kendall, whether WVU should be encouraged and how the rest of the month looks.
