Country Roads Confidential: A WVU Mountaineers podcast

West Virginia wraps up the regular season at a place that hasn't been kid in the past, but a win would give the Mountaineers something else to talk about.

It's the final edition of football's regular season, and evidently the apathy is real.

Cincinnati seemed shaken after West Virginia rattled the visitors and then rolled to a 42-21 win at Mountaineer Field.

The teams picked 13th and 14th in the Big 12 preseason poll meet Saturday at Mountaineer Field. They've trended in different ways this season but have a good amount in common.

It's a fun time of the year. The Mountaineers were dealt a surprise. They can't think quite as big now, so they're packing light for the next game.

Saturday night wasn't kind to West Virginia football, and headlines Sunday thickened the plot.

WVU's problems were on display, but Oklahoma is on the way out of the Big 12, so maybe the Mountaineers have one less problem.

For the last time as members of the Big 12, West Virginia and Oklahoma meet in Normal with a lot to gain and a lot to learn about the combatants.

The start of one era means the end of another, and WVU continued to take the path of most resistance but came away with a win.

Time passes and conversations change. That much we know. Let's get to the bottom of some WVU topics we don't know about just yet.
