A middle school football coach kicked Mike Florio and it changed his life. That's not hyperbole, it's the truth. Actually, it was more than one kick to Florio's backside, but regardless, the impact is still being felt today. In this episode, the "Guys" spend an entertaining visit with the founder of Pro Football Talk. While his passion remains the NFL, his non-football writing continues to gain popularity. It's a enlightening and fun conversation with one of the most interesting guys to appear on the podcast.
The month isn't over, but the returns are coming in, and though June was good for baseball, football and men's basketball, it's clear one WVU sport benefited the most.

Wren Baker is the 13th Athletic Director in West Virginia University history. It's fair to say none of his predecessors have navigated the changes and challenges that he's encountered. Forget about the “normal” requirements of the job, Baker is also leading WVU in the transition from college amateurism to a pay-for-play model. It's uncharted territory for everyone involved and, for Baker, just another challenge that's being handled with both confidence and optimism. In this episode, the “Guys” dig deep into the new world of college athletics and learn Baker's plan for how WVU athletics will compete in a very new world.

Rich Rodriguez is dealing with an abnormally high amount of roster turnover in his first year back as head coach of the WVU football program. Some of the numbers are alarming when you compare them to the 2023 Colorado team led by Deion Sanders in 2023. In the episode, Couz compares the two roster overhauls. He will also take a look at the 2024 Indiana Hoosiers team. Which team will the 2025 West Virginia Mountaineers come closer to emulating? Deion's 4-8 Buffs team, or Curt Cignetti's Hoosiers who made the College Football Playoff in year one?

They breakdown all six commits, including one who flipped to the Mountaineers from another Big 12 program just before they recorded the show. The guys will also discuss WVU basketball coach Ross Hodge's recruiting philosophy, as well as the center that is on the roster that nobody seems to be talking about.

Little has been heard from Zac Alley since his arrival in Morgantown. West Virginia University's defensive coordinator is a rising star in coaching circles. You could say Alley's decision to join the WVU program is Rich Rodriguez's biggest recruiting coup yet. Alley's departure from Oklahoma gives Rodriguez the aggressive attacking nature that pairs well with his fast-paced offensive attack. In this episode, Alley reveals his motivation and goals in his role with the Mountaineers. It's an insightful visit with Alley, who admits West Virginia University football changed his life before he ever arrived in Morgantown.

Since the transfer portal era began, WVU has had several players who made an impact on their respective teams; whether it be on the field, on the court, or in the hearts of fans. There have also been many grad transfers who made an impact before the transfer portal was even a thing. In this episode, Couz will countdown his top five one year players in the history of West Virginia Mountaineer sports. Former West Virginia defensive back, Beanie Bishop, drew the ire of Pitt Panther fans by wiping his feet on a Pitt logo. However, it made him even more loved by WVU football fans. Add that to his play on the field while he was in Morgantown, and Beanie has to be one of the top one year transfers in the history of WVU sports. But, is he number one? There have also been some really good WVU basketball players who played only one season for the Mountaineers. Names like Javon Small and Erik Stevenson, to name two. Do they make the list, and if so, how do they stack up against Bishop and other great one year West Virginia athletes? Couz gives his thoughts in the episode. #wvu #wvufootball #wvubasketball Sources: sports-reference.com ESPN.com Hailwv.com _________________________________________ ⭐️Sponsors: ⭐️ https://www.katzkantor.com http://appalachiadigital.com/couz/

In this episode, I'm joined by Julian Figaretti and HongChing Cheung, the co-founders of Healthy HeartBeets, a Pittsburgh-based startup offering a nutritious beet powder blend made with hemp and chia seeds. The two share the story of how their paths crossed and how a shared passion for health and food innovation evolved into a full-fledged business.Julian reflects on his early ventures into food product development—starting with homemade recovery drinks and beet bars tested on whitewater rafters in Ohiopyle. Inspired by family roots in the restaurant industry, a background in business and entrepreneurship at WVU, and personal health benefits from beet products, he began experimenting during the pandemic. His first solo effort hit roadblocks, but the spark reignited when HongChing entered the scene.HongChing brings a marketing and food-savvy background, having worked at restaurants like Pusadee's Garden and creperies, as well as doing freelance work at Iron City Boulders. Her analytical mind and love for food aligned perfectly with Julian's vision. Initially helping with the website and digital visibility, she soon dove deeper into the business after experiencing the product herself and feeling a renewed sense of purpose.Together, they tackled the challenges of product development—nailing down shelf life, production logistics, and finding a shared kitchen space at Fulton Commons. Their partnership flourished through programs like the food business incubator and accelerator, where they gained critical insights into sales, operations, and scaling their brand. They even won a pitch competition and appeared on another podcast, marking milestones in their journey.Now, Healthy HeartBeets is available in stores, at farmers markets like Bloomfield, and online—with recipes and ideas on how to incorporate the product into everyday meals. The duo reflects on how they balance their different working styles (HongChing the planner, Julian the reactor) and look ahead with double the flashlights—metaphorically speaking—lighting the way through the startup tunnel.From homemade samples in brown paper bags to navigating the wholesale market, Julian and HongChing share a story of creativity, resilience, and the joy of building something meaningful, one scoop of beet powder at a time.Music in this episode includes:Theme song: With Bowl and Spoon, written and performed by Paul Labrise and FriendsBackground music: Firmament by Kevin MacLeod, Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Intermission: Lose Yourself by Drew Banga
The Southeastern 16 crew of Graham Doty, Jay Greeson and Chris Lee previews the Baton Rouge super regional of LSU and West Virginia. LSU's four-man pitching tandem of Kade Anderson, Anthony Eyanson, Casan Evans and Zac Cowan may be the country's best when it comes to covering lots of innings in an elite manner. But can LSU's other talented arms, like Chase Shores, Jaden Noot, William Schmidt, Mavrick Rizy, Cooper Williams, Jacob Mayers and DJ Primeaux step up if called upon for coach Jay Johnson? Consistency has been an issue with LSU's offense. But Ethan Frey has gotten red-hot in the postseason, while Jared Jones, Derek Curiel, Stephen Milam, Daniel Dickenson and regional Game 4 hero Luis Hernandez are also tough outs. The Mountaineers went undefeated in the Clemson regional after knocking off Kentucky in the title game. The pitching is keyed by starters Griffin Kern (who also closed the title game) and Jack Kartsonas, plus, rubber-armed Reese Bassinger. WVU's offense is led by Kyle West, who had an amazing season (.347/.500/.607) at the plate. The bottom of the Mountaineers' balanced order hit well in Clemson, and five players with double-digit steals and Skyler King (.424) and Sam White (.421) also being on-base threats.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern. He gives his thoughts on the controversy that's ensued following the appearance of Mason Rudolph, Miles Killebrew and Rocky Bleier at a Donald Trump event in the area last week. Was the team's decision to publish a letter about the topic necessary? Or should it be a given that individual players do not represent the organization in personal capacities? Paul gives his thoughts on those topics; the hiring of Dan Muse as Penguins coach; the Beanie Bishop video that's ignited rancor within the Backyard Brawl rivalry between Pitt and WVU; and the Pirates' latest ugly loss in a spectacular Paul Skenes start.

Beanie Bishop made some news this morning when video of him surfaced stomping and wiping his feet all over the Pitt logo. The WVU man didn't feel very bad for doing it either. The Morning Show, with guys on both the Pitt and West Virginia side of it, got explosive about it. Fans were fired up over the logo disrespect. Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike said, at this point, Aaron Rodgers should just wait it out until it's mandatory. He expects the Steelers to immediately sign Allen Lazard once Rodgers does. Mike questioned if Rodgers will think differently of the situation if the Steelers sign Gabe Davis tomorrow. With Kirk Cousins, Mike thinks the best play by the Falcons would be to wait and see if their QB or another QB goes down to make a team desperate for a trade. Based on what we know now, Rodgers saying NO to the Steelers would be a rejection of Mike Tomlin more than anything else. It's a clear attempt to win a Super Bowl, but there's reason to wonder if they will even win a playoff game.

Outgoing West Liberty basketball coach Ben Howlett on his new position as head coach at IU Indy. Greg Cary recaps day two of the state softball championships.
The Southeastern 16 crew of Graham Doty, Jay Greeson and Chris Lee break down host Clemson's draw in an NCAA baseball regional. Topics include: Clemson's offense gets on base throughout the lineup, with potential MLB first-round center fielder Cam Cannarella providing a dynamic presence in center field, Dominic Listi (.506 OBP) making for the lineup's toughest out, and Jacob Jarrell (15 HR) and Collin Priest (12) providing power. Workhorse right-hander Aidan Knaak and ace relievers Lucas Mahlstedt, Jacob McGovern and Reed Garris giving the Tigers aces on the mound. West Virginia was the Big 12's regular-season champion, but faded late in the season. Outfielder Kyle West (.354/500/.628, 10 HR) led a balanced offense that stole 105 bases. Griffin Kirn, Jack Kartsonas and Reese Bassinger give the Mountaineers a trio of durable, effective pitchers that give WVU a shot to advance. Kentucky played nearly everyone competitively and even took a series at Tennessee. The Wildcats' back-end bullpen troubles prevented a better record, but coach Nick Mingione is one of the best on the business and gets a lot out of a lineup that bunts, runs and puts pressure on defenses. Left fielder Cole Hage is a standout, shortstop Tyler Bell turned down Big League money to come to campus and starred as a freshman this year, and weekend starters Nic McCay's experience and crafty lefty-hander Ben Cleaver make the Wildcats a tough out. South Carolina Upstate is one of the tournament's toughest four-seeds, thanks to an offense that hit .319/.422/.530, with slugger Scott Newman (18 HR) leading the way. Ace Amp Phillips makes the Spartans a threat to pull an upset against one of the three Power 4 teams in the regional.
Treysen Eaglestaff has a story. The self-described chubby high school kid has blossomed into one of college basketball's top scorers.
