The West Virginia Mountaineers will go on the road to take on the 22nd ranked Houston Cougars in game six of their Big 12 Conference schedule. WVU is coming off a close loss at home to TCU, while Houston is coming off a big win over number 24 Arizona State. Houston is led by one of the league's best defenses. They are number 21 in the country in scoring defense, number 36 in total defense, 38th in rushing defense and number 52 in passing yards allowed. Meanwhile, WVU football's offense is one of the worst in the country. Rich Rodriguez's unit ranks 98th in total offense, 113th in scoring and 114th in passing offense. The Mountaineers are top 50 nationally in rushing offense, coming in at number 47. Zac Alley's Mountaineer defense, led by safety Fred Perry and linebacker Chase Wilson, will be charged with slowing down the Houston offense led by quarterback Conner Weigman. The junior transfer from Texas A&M has thrown for 1,581 yards and 12 touchdowns. He has also ran for 354 yards on 87 carries. Couz is joined by Garrett Ross from @365SportsYT  to break down the Cougars and see if there are any areas the WVU team may be able to gain an advantage. #wvufootball #wvu #wvumountaineers Check out the 365 Sports Newsletter: https://365sports.video Sources: Song: Smoke Rising Music by: CreatorMix.com Video: https://youtu.be/_oaZzkn0bW4 ⭐️Sponsors: ⭐️ DraftKings Sportsbook: https://www.draftkings.com/ Appalachia Digital: http://appalachiadigital.com/couz/ Get Your Tailgating Stuff HERE: http://victorytailgate.pxf.io/CouzCornhole

Star quarterback Josh Hoover leads TCU into Morgantown to take on a struggling Mountaineer team, who will be relying on true freshman signal caller, Scotty Fox, who is being thrust into action due to injuries to multiple West Virginia quarterbacks.

McAllister will be lined up against a WVU secondary that has been struggling since Big 12 play began. Rich Rodriguez's Mountaineer team has been decimated by injuries on the offensive side of the ball.

After another ugly loss in Big 12 play by WVU football, this time to the BYU Cougars, were there any positive takeaways from WVU's performance? In this episode, Couz says there is and he will explain what they are. He will also talk about the negative takeaways, however, and go over those as well. Khalil Wilkins was the third starting quarterback on the season for the Mountaineers and his results were mixed. However, he seemed to get stronger as the game went on. True freshman Scotty Fox also received some playing time in the game. Couz breaks down the game played by both, including PFF grades, and talks about their future potential as signal callers for Rich Rodriguez's offense in Morgantown. Couz will also talk about the continued struggles by the Mountaineer offensive line and the sudden regression of the defense. Two weeks in a row they were eaten up in the pass game. Couz will talk about some of the reasons for that and will use PFF grades as a guide. Couz will also touch on many other aspects of the game that were positives and negatives for West Virginia. #wvu #wvufootball #wvumountaineers _____________________________________________________ Sources: Song: Smoke Rising Music by: CreatorMix.com Video: https://youtu.be/_oaZzkn0bW4 PFF College: pff.com/college _____________________________________________________ ⭐️Sponsors: ⭐️ DraftKings Sportsbook: https://www.draftkings.com/ Appalachia Digital: http://appalachiadigital.com/couz/ Get Your Tailgating Stuff HERE: http://victorytailgate.pxf.io/CouzCornhole

It was a major step backward for the Mountaineer football team.

The Mountaineer football team enters Saturday's home clash with Utah shrouded in uncertainty.Coach Rich Rodriguez's squad faces major offensive questions: a new starting quarterback takes the reins, and injuries have reshuffled the depth chart at running back.

After losing in blowout fashion to the Kansas Jayhawks, WVU football fans are having to re-evaluate their expectations for this Mountaineer team for 2025. With Rich Rodriguez in his first year back in Morgantown, and the fact he brought in over 80 new players, maybe a winning season isn't realistic. In this episode, Couz will take a look at his original preseason record prediction for WVU and tell you whether or not he is changing that prediction based on what he has seen the first month of the season. WVU still has road games at BYU, UCF, Houston and Arizona State; as well as home games against Utah, TCU, Colorado and Texas Tech. With a schedule this tough, combined with the rebuilt roster and injuries sustained by several Mountaineer players; it may be tough to find four more wins for bowl eligibility. Will that happen? Couz lets you know his thoughts in the episode. #wvu #wvufootball #wvumountaineers ___________________________________________ Sources: Song: Smoke Rising Music by: CreatorMix.com Video: https://youtu.be/_oaZzkn0bW4 ESPN.com ___________________________________________ ⭐️Sponsors: ⭐️ DraftKings Sportsbook: https://www.draftkings.com/ Appalachia Digital: http://appalachiadigital.com/couz/ Get Your Tailgating Stuff HERE: http://victorytailgate.pxf.io/CouzCornhole

Send us a textThree seasoned gamblers pull back the velvet rope on what really happens at casinos across America. From the glittering floors of Las Vegas to regional venues like Erie's Presque Isle and Mountaineer in West Virginia, our guests share unfiltered stories from their collective decades at the tables.Blackjack emerges as the unanimous favorite game, though as Bill admits, "they take all my money most of the time I show up there, and I have a blast doing it." The panel doesn't hold back when discussing slot machines, with John calling them "a poor person's game" while explaining why the programmed odds make them a losing proposition long-term – though Mike shares a surprising $150 win from his very first spin.The conversation reveals fascinating insights about casino culture beyond gambling. All three guests appreciate how venues have evolved into complete entertainment destinations featuring everything from comedy shows to MMA fights. John reminisces about seeing George Carlin perform in Vegas, while Bill highlights Turning Stone Casino in upstate New York as the perfect blend of gambling, golf, and fine dining.When the discussion turns to casino cuisine, the recommendations range from Erie's midnight buffet to the steakhouse at Hollywood Casino in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, which Bono declares serves "the best steak I've ever had." Throughout their stories, one truth becomes clear: the real value in casino visits often comes from the overall experience rather than whatever happens at the tables.Whether you're a seasoned gambler or simply curious about what happens behind those flashing lights, this episode offers an entertaining look at casino culture through the eyes of those who've lived it.

It's here!  The countdown to one of the most anticipated West Virginia football seasons has entered GAME WEEK.  On Saturday afternoon, Rich Rodriguez will navigate the sidelines of Mountaineer Field for the first time in 17 years.  It's an event that many thought would never happen, and a needle-mover for the college football world. The return of Rodriguez brings with it more questions than answers.  Can Coach Rod rekindle his Mountaineer magic? Can a rebuilt WVU roster play with the Hard Edge the coach demands?  We'll begin to learn the answers on Saturday when Robert Morris provides the opposition to kick off WVU's 135th season of football. In this episode, the "Guys" put the Rodriguez return into perspective and answer listener questions and comments. 3 Guys returns Thursday with their preview of Saturday's game. 

We made it! Football is here! Week 0 may only be a small sample size, but if you ask Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey, they don't care because we finally get to watch games. Even with Week 0 being only a few games, we are already getting a Top 25 matchup in Ireland. "Farmageddon" goes to Europe for this Big 12 rivalry as 22nd ranked Iowa State takes on 17th ranked Kansas State. Andy, Ross and Steven talk about the keys to this game and the impact this may have on a wide open Big 12. Plus, they dive into what to expect out of the Big 12 conference and how we could see Week 0 evolve into a much larger slate of games in the future. Could Week 0 become the new Week 1?Later in the show, Ross goes in-depth on his conversation with West Virginia head coach Rich Rodriguez. He chronicles the journey of the former West Virginia hero turned pariah being welcomed home! The guys discuss Rich Rod's stops along the way and how it always felt like West Virginia was where he wanted to get back to. The two-time Big East Coach of the Year led the Mountaineers to four Big East titles, but the football landscape is much different this time around. What are the expectations from the Mountaineer faithful? What is considered success and what are the realistic expectations in this new age of college football? Finally, bold season predictions must be made before games are played, otherwise the predictions become far less bold. That is exactly what the guys do to wrap up the show as the guys predict an underdog SEC team who may surprise some people, a guess at who will make the CFP and a prediction of who will win it all!The final College Football Enquirer before the season kicks off. Let's go! (4:39) - "Farmageddon" preview and the future of Week 0 games(28:12) - Rich Rod's journey to return to West Virginia(50:44) - Bold season predictions Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:

It's easy to make the argument that the upcoming Mountaineer football season will be the most unpredictable in history.  That's because there are more than 70 new players along with an entirely new coaching staff. Because of the changes, the Over-Under world is filled with intriguing scenarios of what could happen during the season.  In this episode, the "Guys" are back with chapter two of their annual Over-Under selections.  The Vegas Boyz will tell you to hit the unders on these propositions, but that's not necessarily where the fellas ventured. The crew also announce their live show and food court plans for the season and answer listener questions. 3 Guys returns Monday with a game-week preview. 

There are always unanswered questions when a college football team begins practice.  However, the number of unknowns for the 2025 Mountaineer football team may be an all-time record. A new coaching staff and more than 70 new players make this the most unpredictable season in memory.  Ok, so what's going to happen? In this episode, the "Guys" do their best at predicting the future with their first batch of over-under questions for the season.  They dive into two offensive possibilities and one on defense. Listener questions and comments complete the episode. 3 Guys returns on Monday with WVU President Michael Benson and Athletics Director Wren Baker. 

He's colorful, opinionated and the ultimate definition of a "FOOTBALL GUY".  Robert "Dusty" Rutledge begins his second tour of duty with West Virginia University's football program as Senior Associate Athletic Director and Chief of Staff for head coach Rich Rodriguez.  In this episode, Rutledge gives a behind-the-scenes look into over 40 years in the coaching business.  From his days as the last known college player-coach to his ongoing battle with cancer, it's an entertaining and informative visit with a key member of the Mountaineer football program. 

The incidence of early onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) has been rising prompting the change in change in screening guidelines to 45 years of age for average risk patients. Join us for an in-depth discussion with guest speakers Dr. Andrea Cercek and Dr. Nancy You, where we provide a comprehensive look at the growing challenge of EOCRC. Hosts: - Dr. Janet Alvarez - General Surgery Resident at New York Medical College/Metropolitan Hospital Center - Dr. Wini Zambare – General Surgery Resident at Weill Cornell Medical Center/New York Presbyterian - Dr. Phil Bauer, Graduating Colorectal Surgical Oncology Fellow at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center  - Dr. J. Joshua Smith MD, PhD, Chair, Department of Colon and Rectal Surgery at MD Anderson Cancer Center - Dr. Andrea Cercek - Gastrointestinal Medical Oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center - Dr. Y. Nancy You, MD MHSc - Professor, Department of Colon and Rectal Surgery at MD Anderson Cancer Center Learning objectives:  - Describe trends in incidence of colorectal cancer, with emphasis on the rise of EOCRC. - Identify age groups and demographics most affected by EOCRC. - Summarize USPSTF recommendations for colorectal cancer screening. - Distinguish between screening methods (e.g., colonoscopy, FIT-DNA) and their sensitivity. - Understand treatment approaches for colon and rectal cancer (CRC) - Understand the role of mismatch repair (MMR) status in guiding treatment. - Outline the importance of genetic counseling and testing in young patients. - Discuss racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in CRC incidence and outcomes. - Describe the impact of cancer treatment on fertility and sexual health. -  Review fertility preservation options. - Identify the value of integrated care teams for young CRC patients.
