We're two weeks from Christmas and one week from the first day of the early signing period ... which has quickly become the main signing period.

In addition, the basketball team took its first loss, but there's still a lot to like, including the one thing Mike likes the most.

Country Roads Confidential - Basketball takes the mic Dec 04, 2019

Show notes

At long last, basketball takes has the stage at WVU. The Mountaineers are undefeated but also unranked, and that's OK. Don't listen to the RPI, which rates WVU No. 1 and a has a sleeper at No. 2. Chris and Mike then tackle two big questions about how to build the proper WVU team and wonder whether Derek Culver should start or come off the bench. The episode closes with some football and a look at the upcoming all-Big 12 announcements and recruiting expectations.

Country Roads Confidential - Rapid reaction to Friday’s win Nov 30, 2019

Show notes

Neal Brown punctuated his initial season in charge of West Virginia’s football program with a 20-17 win over TCU. The Mountaineers accomplished many things they had not done in similar situations before and kept the Horned Frogs from reaching a bowl game. What does this do for the present and the future? What type of difference did Jarret Doege make? How can WVU polish strengths and work on weaknesses? Oh, and is basketball good? All that and more in tonight’s episode!

Country Roads Confidential - Thankful for one more podcast Nov 26, 2019

Show notes

It's a short week at WVU, but it's a busy one, too. Chris and Mike (with a cameo by a dead bird!) look ahead to the final football game of the season and what to expect against TCU and what to look for in the future. Gary Patterson takes away what an opposing offense does best, which makes WVU kind of tricky. Can the offensive line improve in the offseason? How much of a gap will exist between that group and the rest of the 2020 offense? The Mountaineers can win the Cancun Challenge, but they or Northern Iowa will blink first in tonight's game. And Logan Routt must be on call in Mexico and perhaps beyond.
