The dream that once seemed distant is now reality.
 
For the first time in program history, West Virginia has arrived in Omaha.
 
The Mountaineers took the field Thursday at Charles Schwab Field to begin preparations for their College World Series debut, a milestone moment decades in the making.
 
Friday afternoon, WVU opens play against Troy in the first game of the 2026 College World Series. It’s the first CWS appearance for both programs and the next chapter in a season that has already rewritten the Mountaineer record book.
 
In this episode, the “Guys” welcome three guests who have shared a front-row seat to West Virginia’s remarkable journey. Former Major League standout and WVU Special Assistant to the Head Coach Jed Gyorko joins the conversation, along with Mountaineer Sports Network broadcasters Andrew Caridi and Jake Weghorst.
 
Together, they provide unique perspective, behind-the-scenes stories, and firsthand insight into the team, the atmosphere, and the significance of West Virginia’s historic arrival in Omaha.
 
It’s an informative, entertaining, and unforgettable preview of the biggest weekend in Mountaineer baseball history.
