West Virginia football ended its roller-coaster season with another memorable win for the Mountaineers as they held off Oklahoma State for their first victory over the Cowboys since 2014. Not only did they earn the win, but they did it through a downpour of rain and a chorus of outside noise that they prevented from distracting them. WVU called on a lot of new faces, including running back Jaylen Anderson, to step up, and they gave WVU fans a reason to hope for the future after a rough season. On the newest edition of the Gold and Blue Nation Podcast presented by Pritt and Spano, Ryan Decker and Sam Coniglio break down Saturday's victory for WVU and tie a bow on the 2022 campaign.

West Virginia's roller-coaster season remains on the downslope after the Mountaineers lost their third straight game to Iowa State on Saturday. While the WVU defense played well for much of the contest, the offense struggled to find any footing as the Cyclones rallied to stuff the Mountaineers and earn their first Big 12 win of the season.

Mountaineer football freshman CJ Donaldson lost for the season. How do the Mountaineers respond?

Great effort does not guarantee a winning result. The Mountaineer football team learned that painful lesson in Saturday's 41-31 loss to No. 7 TCU. West Virginia's inability to advance the ball trailing by three points with less than four minutes to play ended any hope of a signature win. Now what? That's the difficult question facing a WVU team that travels to Iowa State this Saturday. The Mountaineers have been outscored 86-30 in their two road conference games. In this episode, the "Guys" review the matchup with TCU and talk about the reported Big 12 media rights extension. They also discussed the upcoming addition to the Mountaineer basketball roster of Jose Perez. Join the crew on Thursday for their preview of WVU at Iowa State.

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, Election Day is less than 3 weeks away! Will it be a red ripple, a blue wave, a green tsunami, or another color and a different meteorological event? Our guest, Andrew Baumann of Global Strategy Group, takes us through the latest "Mountaineer" polling for the answers. Later, the Colorado Springs Gazette only endorses Republicans, but their news team does great journalism, so how should we think about this news outlet? There are 11 statewide initiatives and many, many more local questions on this year's ballot, we'll talk about…some of them. And Colorado Republicans seem to think that you must be winning if your opponent is running a real campaign but you are not; we make an effort to understand this bizarre logic.

Colin O'Brady is a 10 times world record holding explorer, Mountaineer, Speaker, Entrepreneur, and New York Times bestselling author. I met Colin last year when I signed up to do an endurance challenge called Everesting 29029. I have two podcast episodes dedicated entirely about this experience for more listen in to episode 40 and 41. In today's interview, we dive deep into each of his deeply personal stories of resilience, grit, overcoming failures, and tapping into your intuition. I learned so much from Colin personally and from his mindset and I am so excited to introduce him to you. Colin was raised in Portland, Oregon and spent his childhood as a super active kid with a passion for adventures in outdoors. He excelled at sports and by the time he reached high school, he was nationally ranked in swimming and soccer. He was ultimately recruited to swim at Yale University where he graduated with a Bachelor's in economics. Instead of going to a corporate job after graduation, he decided to save money by painting houses in the summer so that he could fulfill his lifelong dream of backpack and surf and travel the world. He was met with a tragic accident in Thailand and was injured severely in a fire, which burned 25% of his body, leaving him unable to walk and use his arms. But Colin was determined to beat the odds. With the encouragement of his mother, he had a desire to complete a triathlon as his first goal after recovery, even though doctors told him that he may never walk again. He not only went on to complete it but finished in first place within 18 months of that accident. He then went on to become a professional triathlete and ultimately became a mountaineer and an explorer. He completed the Explorer's Grand Slam in record time, summiting the highest peaks in each of the seven continents. He's also summited Mount Everest twice, and he became the first person to walk from one end of Antarctica to the other end, completely unassisted and unsupported, meaning he had to drag his supplies of food and fuel for 60 days on his back.

Tonight's reading comes from The Making of a Mountaineer. This book was originally published in 1924 and written by George Ingle Finch. Climbing a mountain with today's equipment and technology can be challenging enough. It's impressive to hear about how this was done in the early 1900's.

The Mountaineer football team is hoping Thursday night lights will lead to a victory. WVU hosts Baylor in a key Big 12 matchup that will give a strong indication which way the Mountaineer season is headed. West Virginia has never lost to Baylor in Morgantown, but were manhandled by the Bears last season in Waco. The defending conference champions are still one of the Big 12's stingiest teams on defense and use a power running attack to set up explosive pass plays. In this episode, the "Guys" look into the analytics to determine the keys to a West Virginia win. Listener questions and texts complete the episode.

Climbing the tallest mountains in the world, overcoming a colleague's death, and fighting forward with climbing legend Tamara Lunger. Tamara Lunger Is a dreamer in love with the mountains“   Bio Tamara Lunger   “Every moment spent in the mountains makes me more aware of who I am and more thankful to life.” Since she was a child, she has practiced a lot of different sports, even athletics - she was twice vice Italian national champion -, but her true passion for the mountains remained untouched! This is why, in 2002, she started with ski mountaineering racing. She became a member of the Italian National Team and won many important races: twice Italian National Champion in 2006 and 2008, vice champion in 2007, she won the Pierra Menta in 2007 and 2008 and achieved the World Champion title on the long distance in 2008. Born in Bozen in 1986, she is the daughter of a famous Italian ski mountaineer, and has lived all her life in the mountains. This is probably why it was inevitable that the mountains went onto have such a strong influence in her life, becoming her passion. In 2014 she reached the summit of K2 becoming the second Italian woman to do so.   After the ski mountaineering experience she was looking for new, extreme challenges in the high mountains. Since she was 14 years old, she dreamt of climbing an 8000m peak and through the years she always had had a certain idea of how she would have felt being there. And then in 2009, her first big mountaineering experience in Nepal, she could say that her expectations were satisfied. Since this first experience, things are clear to Tamara: “this is the life I want, and nothing else!” Achievements Sky Mountaineering Races since 2003: 2 times Italian Champion 2008 - World Champion (under 23) 2 times winner of Pierra Menta (FRA) High Altitude Mountaineering since 2009: 2009 - Island Peak (6189 m) 2010 - youngest woman on Lhotse (23 years old) with oxygen 2010 - Cho Oyu (8210 m) no summit   2011 - 2012 - 2012 - 2013 - 2012 - 2014 - 2015 - 2016 - Khan Tengri (7010 m) Muztgah Ata (7546 m) Broad Peak (8047 m) no summit Pik Lenin (7134 m) Broad Peak (8047 m) no summit K2 (8611 m) without oxygen Manaslu Winter Expedition with Simone Moro (without success) Nanga Parbat Winter Expedition with Simone Moro (stopped 70 m below the summit).

I traveled all over Italy with the camper van, climbing the highest peak of every region. „Climbing for a reason“ - social project in northern Pakistan, Shigar Valley. We reached to climb muslim girls from 5 to 17 years. Furthermore we built an artificial climbing wall and set up a climbing spot with 19 routes on the rocks of Shigar Fort. „Tamara Tour Spain“ - A multi sport road trip (mountaineering, climbing, running, biking, paragliding, kayaking). I traveled all over Spain with the camper van, climbing the 18 highest and most important 3000m peaks of Spain. “In women sports there are still many opportunities for me because there are just a few women in the world who dare facing up the awkward demands of an expedition to the highest peaks of the world. Though, it's not about the competition or measuring with other athletes, it is all about proving myself – to myself! What will I be able to achieve? How difficult can things become? Which levels of mental and physical demands will I be able to cope with?”
