We're back with a new episode of West By Pod Virginia after an extended break due to this ridiculously boring offseason that has devolved into the college football media manufacturing stories to generate some sort of content. I'm not sure we're going to make it through the next 39 days, folks. 

We throw down the gauntlet for The Basketball Tournament - if a former WVU player doesn't organize a team for 2019, we're doing it ourselves. 

Bobak Ha'eri of Reddit CFB joins us to talk about his whirlwind tour of college football media days - including his shout out from Dana Holgorsen at Big 12 Media Days - and gives us an update on the Fulmer Cup. 

We wrap things up with our Dumb Thing of the Year of the Week, in which Michael unloads on #VolTwitter with the help of an old Alabama favorite.

In this episode of West By Pod Virginia, we're discussing how Jevon Carter's NBA destiny was written in the stars and how we're probably going to see a Jevon/Dax showdown in the NBA Summer League next month. 

SB Nation's Bill Connelly (@SBN_BillC) joins us for a deep dive into his projections for the West Virginia Mountaineers and the Big 12 Conference as a whole: Is Dana Holgorsen at a crossroads? Is Kliff Kingsbury's seat en fuego? Will Mike Gundy actually ever leave Oklahoma State for that SEC job, and is it possible to fix Kansas at this point? 

We wrap up with TWO (2) Dumb Thing of the Year of the Week nominees. Sometimes the content just falls into our laps.

In the debut edition of West By Pod Virginia, we take a look at how Jevon Carter has helped himself during the NBA draft process and with which NBA teams he fits best, and what Sagaba Konate needs to do this season to cement himself as a 2019 lottery pick. 

We do a quick dive into BillC's S&P+ projections for the West Virginia Mountaineers, and shine the spotlight on Skyler Howard living his best life in Glorious Nippon. 

We also crown the inaugural Dumb Thing of the Year of the Week, and break some news on Fallout 76 - which is set in West Virginia and will soon feature MusketTown.
