Country Roads Confidential: A WVU Mountaineers podcast

Big 12 media days begin in Dallas Wednesday, and Neal Brown has some questions to answer. He also has a team with players who didn't generate much preseason buzz but could grab some all-conference spots when the year is over.

The 2021 college football season is just around the corner, and you know it's coming now that the Big 12 has released it's preseason poll and all-conference teams. Let's compare how the media voted with how our host voted.

One half of the team is out of town, but that's no reason to skip another opportunity to talk about everything happening around West Virginia sports right now.

There's a sense of family in the air with Neal Brown at the helm in Morgantown. But while he begins his third season in 2021, Brown has only had one full off-season to build his program. The Mountaineers have some work to do to catch the big boys of the Big 12, but West Virginia's optimistic that a plan is in place to reach the top of the conference.

A lot has been happening in college football! Make sure to tune into upcoming episodes as the College Football Daily discusses College Football Playoff Expansion, the NCAA vs. Alston case, and more!

West Virginia added one of the top 300 players and top 25 quarterbacks in the country to the 2022 recruiting class on Monday, and former college quarterback and current 247Sports evaluator Clint Brewster is very familiar with Nicco Marchiol. What does he like? What can Marchion improve? Does it matter that he's left-handed? Can he start in 2022?

After a weekend of official visits and before the first 7-on-7 camp of the summer, today's episode offers advice on how to handle recruiting predictions, what to think of recent headlines and whether to expect a fistfight.

Quick thoughts about the College Football Playoff proposal and answers to questions about wrestling, marketing, fundraising, Liverpool and fun and games.

A second camp is in the books, and two more are on the way at WVU. We cover the latest recruiting themes and headlines and look ahead at the immediate and slightly distance future for the Mountaineers.

With in-person and on-campus recruiting now a part of our lives again, we break in between events to recap Tuesday's camp, this weekend's visits and what's happened in between.

In the final episode before on-campus recruiting returns, the hosts chime in about media access, evaluation skills, point spreads, recruiting only transfers and everything else on the audience's mind.
