A significant opportunity awaits the Mountaineer basketball team Saturday afternoon. West Virginia hosts the Kansas Jayhawks inside Hope Coliseum, with a chance to secure its first victory over a nationally ranked opponent this season—and a third straight win over Kansas. While the names on the jerseys may be familiar, the rosters are not. Both teams have been almost entirely rebuilt since last season's meeting, with just one player—Kansas forward Flory Bidunga—appearing in that game. In this episode, the “Guys” preview the matchup with the Jayhawks, review Tuesday's important win over Cincinnati, and discuss what has changed—and what still matters—when these programs meet. Listener questions and comments complete the episode with Textual Healing.

We're fortunate this week to have a friend of the pod carve out some of his time and jump on the mics. Taylor Kinney is here on Chasin' Birdies. This one has us excited purely because we always love the opportunity to hang with TK, whether on or off the golf course. We open up the episode with our standard ten-minute banter before we get into the interview.The interview opens up with us talking about the early days and TK attending WVU in Morgantown, WV. We get into his travels and how he went from living in Hawaii to landing modeling/acting gigs. After some more life talk, we discuss how he came to be ‘that' guy on Chicago Fire. Spoiler alert - a fire in Chicago near the set had everyone scrambling, thinking the cast were actual firefighters. The story is told from TK's perspective. We get into a lot of questions surrounding filming and how the show operates behind the scenes. After more bantering, we turn the talk over to golf. We get into his early days of golf and how the game clawed its way back into his life not too long ago. We discuss traveling to play golf and how, without golf, we'd have never connected. The point being - we're golf addicts. If you're a golf addict, you can relate. We finally turn the episode over to our tap-in segment, where TK is asked questions that demand his quick response…although some answers aren't quick. Tune in, share, and hear from an overall great guy hangin' with us two for a good hour or so.Key Links:Visit redvanly.com for great golf apparel now repped by Chasin' Birdies.

Disappointing. It's the word that best describes West Virginia's double-overtime, 89–88 loss to Ohio State last Saturday. Despite facing a 16-point second-half deficit, the Buckeyes rallied to force overtime—and eventually escape with the win. So now what for the Mountaineers? In this episode, the “Guys” break down the game possession by possession, detailing what worked, what didn't, and what must improve moving forward. The crew also pays tribute to WVU Hall of Fame member Garrett Ford, who passed away on Sunday. Listener questions and comments wrap up the show with Textual Healing.

WVU Collapse vs. Ohio State: Is Ross Hodge Already on the Hot Seat? Join us live as we break down the brutal, double-overtime heartbreaker against Ohio State! The Mountaineers blew a 16-point lead in the second half, ultimately falling 89-88 in the Cleveland Hoops Showdown. What went wrong? From a dominant start to a late-game collapse and an unused timeout that Coach Ross Hodge took blame for in a previous game, we're diving deep into the performance and the fallout. Honor Huff was spectacular, but the team's inability to close out a quality opponent raises serious questions. The big question Mountaineer Nation is asking: Is it time to panic? Despite being a highly-regarded defensive mastermind and coming off a hot start to the season, a growing number of fans are calling for Ross Hodge's job just months into his tenure. How much blame does Coach Hodge deserve for the late-game execution? What does this loss mean for WVU's non-conference resume heading into the Big 12? Should the Mountaineers have been better prepared for Bruce Thornton's late-game heroics? Tune in, leave your questions, and let us know in the chat: Is Ross Hodge the right coach for WVU, or is the pressure mounting too fast?

WVU Football Coaching Shakeup! Who Replaces Larry Porter? Plus, Khalil Wilkins to the Portal

The Mountaineer basketball team gets one final swing at a marquee non-conference win Saturday when West Virginia meets Ohio State in Cleveland. It's a classic strength-on-strength matchup: the Buckeyes enter as one of the nation's most potent offenses, while WVU owns the country's No. 2 scoring defense.Something will have to give.In this episode, the “Guys” dig into the analytics and outline the subtle shifts that may be tilting momentum in West Virginia's direction.Listener questions and comments round out the show.

The Mountaineers are reportedly pursuing one of the biggest names to hit the transfer portal: QB Marcus Stokes. The former four-star recruit was one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the 2023 class, initially committing to Florida before his scholarship was withdrawn due to a viral video showing him using a racial slur. Stokes spent the 2024 and 2025 seasons at Division II West Florida, where he had a highly productive year, completing over 60% of his passes for nearly 3,300 yards with 30 TDs and 13 INTs in 2025, according to a recent report, and was a finalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy (D-II's top player). In this video, we break down: The Player: What kind of talent and stats would Stokes bring to the WVU offense? The Baggage: We dive into the controversial incident that led to his decommitment from Florida and the conversation around second chances in college football. The Fit: Where does Stokes stand on the WVU quarterback depth chart, and how would this transfer impact the team and the fan base? Portal Rumors: Latest news on other P5 programs pursuing Stokes, including Syracuse, Florida State, and Iowa, as per On3's Pete Nakos' post on X. Will Rich Rodriguez and the WVU staff take a chance on a high-risk, high-reward transfer? And will Stokes even choose WVU?

Did the College Football Playoff selection committee get it WRONG? We break down the massive controversy surrounding BYU's snub and whether the expansion process is already flawed. We also explore the blatant disrespect shown to the Big 12 Conference. In This Episode: The CFP Controversy: We dive into the arguments for why BYU was robbed of a playoff spot, despite their impressive resume. Was it an SEC bias, strength of schedule, or something else entirely?

Was this the right move, and what message does it send about the value of the bowl system? Matt Campbell to Penn State: The coaching carousel spins again! We analyze the big move with Matt Campbell taking the Penn State job. What does this mean for the Nittany Lions' future, and how does it impact the Big Ten landscape? WVU & The Transfer Portal: With Campbell gone, should West Virginia aggressively pursue Iowa State quarterback Rocco Becht in the transfer portal if he enters?
