It has been 17 years since Rich Rodriguez coached on Mountaineer Field with fans in the stands.  

That streak will end on Saturday when the Mountaineers collide in the Gold & Blue Showcase.  It will give Rodriguez and staff a final chance to evaluate the roster.  It's also the last chance for players to shine before the roster is reduced.  New rules will allow for just 105 roster spots starting next season.  That's a reduction of about 20 players from the current system. 

In this episode, Brad and Tony talk with Coach Rodriguez about the current state of the program and changes that will be made in the next several months.

The clock is on AGAIN for West Virginia Athletic Director Wren Baker. 

The search to find a replacement for Darian DeVries is Baker's fifth (basketball and football) in the last 24 months.

In this episode, the "Guys" discuss the impact of DeVries' departure and the future of WVU basketball.

It was a poor performance when it mattered the most.  West Virginia's elimination from the Big 12 Conference Championship was both surprising and deflating. A Mountaineer team that defied expectations all season suddenly lost its swagger. 

Now what?  The good news is that WVU will still receive an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. The question is whether they can rediscover their winning ways before opening play next week.  

In this episode, Brad and Tony dissect the game against Colorado and look ahead to the NCAA tournament.
