Before anyone had finished settling into their seats in Omaha, West Virginia had already announced its arrival.The Mountaineers made history Friday afternoon by earning the program's first-ever College World Series victory, defeating a resiliet Troy squad, 7-5, in a game packed with momentum swings, clutch hits and unforgettable moments. From a daring steal of home in the opening inning to another display of the lineup's remarkable depth, WVU once again found contributions from throughout the roster. Big hits came from unexpected places, and Division II transfer Ian Korn delivered the longest outing of his season to secure the biggest win of his career. In this episode, the “Guys” break down a memorable day in Omaha and explain why this Mountaineer team continues to prove that its greatest strength is the collective effort of the entire roster. The victory sends West Virginia into the winner's bracket of the College World Series, where an even greater opportunity awaits on Sunday. As always, the conversation includes Hoppy's Obvious Observations and the story of an incredible Mountaineer fan's trip to Omaha.

The dream that once seemed distant is now reality. For the first time in program history, West Virginia has arrived in Omaha. The Mountaineers took the field Thursday at Charles Schwab Field to begin preparations for their College World Series debut, a milestone moment decades in the making. Friday afternoon, WVU opens play against Troy in the first game of the 2026 College World Series. It's the first CWS appearance for both programs and the next chapter in a season that has already rewritten the Mountaineer record book. In this episode, the “Guys” welcome three guests who have shared a front-row seat to West Virginia's remarkable journey. Former Major League standout and WVU Special Assistant to the Head Coach Jed Gyorko joins the conversation, along with Mountaineer Sports Network broadcasters Andrew Caridi and Jake Weghorst. Together, they provide unique perspective, behind-the-scenes stories, and firsthand insight into the team, the atmosphere, and the significance of West Virginia's historic arrival in Omaha. It's an informative, entertaining, and unforgettable preview of the biggest weekend in Mountaineer baseball history.

Two national experts overlooked WVU basketball in recent rankings. Shortly after the news broke that the NCAA Tournament field would officially be expanding to 76 teams, ESPN's Joe Lunardi released an early Bracketology prediction. Surprisingly, WVU basketball was not included. Couz gives his thoughts on that.CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein also omitted WVU men's basketball from his most recent. Live 45 preseason rankings. All of this on the heels of Ross Hodge having one of the best offseasons in Mountaineer basketball history.Are they trolling WVU fans? Did they just forget West Virginia exists? Couz talks about all of that in this episode. He also talks about the official reveal of the 2026 Player's Era Tournament that will take place this Fall in Las Vegas.

Senior standouts Jordan Harrison and Sydney Shaw reflect on their season, their careers in Morgantown, and what it means to host NCAA Tournament basketball at home. The talented tandem also answers a series of fun and insightful questions that reveal a side of the players Mountaineer fans don't always get to see. 3 Guys returns Thursday with a full preview of Saturday's NCAA Tournament game and a look ahead to the upcoming College Basketball Crown tournament involving the WVU men's team.
