New is the theme for West Virginia University as the school year begins.

Not only will the Mountaineers have a new football and basketball coach, but a new school president is occupying Stewart Hall.  Michael Benson has been moving non-stop since taking over last month.
 
In this episode, Benson joins the “Guys” with Vice President and Athletic Director Wren Baker to discuss the relationship between administration and athletics.  How will WVU navigate the new world of college sports as it continues to redefine itself.
 
Both Benson and Baker share their philosophy and thoughts on where West Virginia University stands in the new world of college athletics. 

There are always unanswered questions when a college football team begins practice.  However, the number of unknowns for the 2025 Mountaineer football team may be an all-time record. 

A new coaching staff and more than 70 new players make this the most unpredictable season in memory.  Ok, so what's going to happen? 

In this episode, the "Guys" do their best at predicting the future with their first batch of over-under questions for the season.  They dive into two offensive possibilities and one on defense. 

Listener questions and comments complete the episode. 

3 Guys returns on Monday with WVU President Michael Benson and Athletics Director Wren Baker. 

When it comes to Rich Rodriguez, what you hear isn't always what you get. The veteran WVU football coach regularly uses his press conferences to send messages to his players, coaches and fans. 

So, how do you decipher Coach Rod? That's just one of many topics the "Guys" discuss as the Mountaineers begin week two of preseason practice. 

The crew also presents an historical summary of the winning percentage for first-year coaches in the Power 4 conferences. 

Listener questions and comments complete the episode.

He's colorful, opinionated and the ultimate definition of a "FOOTBALL GUY".  

Robert "Dusty" Rutledge begins his second tour of duty with West Virginia University's football program as Senior Associate Athletic Director and Chief of Staff for head coach Rich Rodriguez.  

In this episode, Rutledge gives a behind-the-scenes look into over 40 years in the coaching business.  From his days as the last known college player-coach to his ongoing battle with cancer, it's an entertaining and informative visit with a key member of the Mountaineer football program. 

Life is good for Mountaineer baseball coach Steve Sabins.  He not only led WVU to the Big 12 Conference regular season championship and an NCAA Super Regional in his debut season, he's just agreed to a contract extension that will keep him in Morgantown through 2031. 

In this episode, Sabins reflects on his inaugural season and explains his vision of the Mountaineer program in the years to come. 

It's an information-packed and entertaining visit with the man in charge of WVU baseball. 

The story of WVU football player Eddie Vesterinen reads like a movie script.  The teenager, who saw an online video showing massive collisions in American football, began a quest to learn about the game. 

It began a life-changing journey for the native of Helsinki, Finland who is ready to begin his final season on the Mountaineer defensive line. Along the way, the affable and multi-talented Vesterinen has defined what good can come from the opportunity that college athletics offers. 

In this episode, the "Guys" learn about Ed's fantastic story, which includes a live musical performance. 

It's a 3 Guys Summer Series visit that won't soon be forgotten.  

Ross Hodge's new life is just starting to become normal. Three months after being named West Virginia University's head men's basketball coach, Hodge can finally take a deep breath. 

He has retooled the WVU roster with players and staff, along with moving his family from Texas. 

The 44-year-old Hodge knows it's still very early, but the pieces are coming together for his debut season. 

In this episode, the "Guys" do a deep-dive into Hodge's philosophy of the game and expectations for the Mountaineer program.  

No topic is off limits in a fun and entertaining conversation with the new man in charge of WVU hoops.

When it comes to longevity and consistency, he's West Virginia University's Cal Ripken.  

Randy Meador's touch has been part of West Virginia University basketball since 1984.  It's the longest tenure by anyone involved in program history.  His 41 seasons as head athletic trainer have been defined by professionalism and dedication to his craft. And, oh yeah, he NEVER missed a single game.  Not one!

The Ohio native will never be officially credited with any coaching victories, but his behind-the-scenes work led to countless wins for the Mountaineers. 

In this episode, the "Guys" celebrate Meador's retirement and look back at his amazing career with the Mountaineers. 

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.

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.
