WVU football coach Rich Rodriguez has complimented his quarterbacks multiple times since the start of Fall camp. He's even hinted that the Mountaineers could potentially throw the football more than they run it in 2025. With Rich Rod known as a run-first coach, this came as a surprise to many WVU fans. In this episode, Couz is going to explain why West Virginia being a pass heavy team, or at least a more balanced team, can be a winning formula in Morgantown. Couz will bring stats from some of Coach Rodriguez's previous stops and talk about why the strategy may work for the current Mountaineer team. #wvufootball #wvu #richrodriguez ⭐️Sponsors: ⭐️ http://appalachiadigital.com/couz/ Get Your Tailgating Stuff HERE: http://victorytailgate.pxf.io/CouzCornhole

Conrad Anker is a world-famous author, rock climber, and mountaineer. Conrad was the team leader for The North Face climbing team for 26 years until 2018. Conrad has traveled all over the world and has faced some of the harshest conditions the planet has to offer. He climbed Mount Everest in 1999 as part of a search team, tasked with finding the body of George Mallory, who famously participated in the first three British Mount Everest Expeditions in the early 1920's. In 2016, Conrad suffered a heart attack during an attempt at climbing Lunag Ri in the Himalayas. Though he retired from high altitude mountaineering after that incident, he still continues his work–writing about his experiences and philanthropy to make the outdoors a place that everyone can enjoy.

In this powerful episode of the Tough Girl Podcast, we meet Tia Banks—a former professional basketball player turned mountaineer and certified resilience expert. Based in Texas, Tia is on a bold mission to climb all seven volcanic summits, one on each continent, using her journey as a platform to inspire strength, courage, and mental resilience. Her love for adventure began with Mount Kilimanjaro in 2021, where she faced illness, doubt, and the ultimate test of her mindset on summit night. But for Tia, mountaineering is more than reaching the top—it's about how we speak to ourselves in tough moments, how we dig deep when we want to give up, and how we “climb our own mountains” in life. In this episode, Tia opens up about her early years in sport, the “suck it up” mentality, the importance of positive self-talk, and her commitment to empowering young people through adventure therapy and her non-profit initiative, Summit Saturday. If you're looking for a dose of motivation to keep pushing through your own challenges—or to finally try something you've never dared before—Tia's story will light the fire.

In this episode, Couz talks about WVU football and WVU sports as a whole being ranked well below its peers in brand value. He will show data sourced from both The Athletic and CNBC and prove why Mountaineer fans should be concerned about the future of Mountaineer sports. In the second half of the show, he will talk about ways Wren Baker and the administration are combating these low value numbers. As the future of college sports and conference realignment remains unknown, its critical for West Virginia Mountaineer sports to be relevant on the national stage. Couz will show the numbers that prove WVU is valued well below the cutoff point to ever be included in the Power 2 conferences of the SEC or Big 10. However, he will also talk about some specific ways in which the West Virginia Athletic Department is working hard to change the image of WVU sports and keep them relevant. #wvu #wvusports #wvufootball #conferencerealignment
