3 Guys Before the Game - Kansas State Game Preview (Episode 584)

[@WorldwidebirdiesGC]

NB already gave the forecast for the weekend, nice weather 😂

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

@@WorldwidebirdiesGC mostly sunny with a chance of fun.

[@Drumwolf62]

The fans need to give Neal Brown a taste of this own words. Go to the game and tailgate but do not go into the stadium. Watch the game outside of the stadium. If Brown complains about the attendance, then the fans say " The weather was great!!, We had fun, The tailgating was good, what more do you expect?

[@schweber10]

No one is worried about coming to Morgantown any more, Hoppy. He's just being patronizing.

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

True it’s like a welcoming Sunday trip to grandmas for dinner now.

[@TheD_R_G]

KSU fan here... a lot of fans had this game marked with an L on the schedule. Perhaps some things have changed since the beginning of the season, but it wasn't a patronizing remark. People are leary of this game.

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

@@TheD_R_G don’t be worried, Neal brown doesn’t beat ranked teams.

[@TheD_R_G]

@Commentleaver-c6x as these guys said a few times, reversion to the mean is a logical conclusion (they will eventually beat a ranked team). But hoping KSU does get the W.

[@ChadAdkins-hx5zz]

Simple....time for people to set at home and not go to games period!!!!

[@ChadAdkins-hx5zz]

3-16 against ranked teams and 6 years of excuses and an AD loosing there job. Not a real good feeling to go spending money to go to a football game and worry about the tailgating and having a good time!!!

[@Mburns9]

Fun podcast!

[@magicray5088]

this is what Neal Brown is talking about , we need to have fun .. just enjoy losing & spending tons of money on your beer and hot dog at the stadium.... but our podcast are fun... thanks guys for doing what you guys do... it must be hard ... what is the over under on a ten win season on the hard court? (BASKETBALL) Hmmmmm? We need to have fun!!

[@ashoffman1]

What you accept becomes the standard. The standard for WVU football has never been lower, and people who accept this level of football deserve Neal Brown and his painful mediocrity.

[@Gr8H8ful8]

The Big 12 championship was the goal under Dana. It's still the goal.

[@Mburns9]

@@Gr8H8ful8yea, Neal is failing in every metric.

[@clayd4964]

I dont know what to feel anymore.

[@evanoffm]

There is a level of delusion happening with Hoppy, Brad, and Tony. These are not "successful seasons" contrary to what "they" say, Brown has lost 8 consecutive against ranked teams and is losing more than he wins in Big 12 matchups and he is losing way more than he wins vs ranked teams. Bowl games do not equal success, winning does, these guys are clearly not directly addressing Brown's win/loss record vs Conf and ranked opponents. The reason why fans are 'raw' is not the Pitt loss, it's because we no longer 'Trust the Climb". C'mon, ENOUGH!

[@scoutmaddoxg]

We spend thousands and travel a distance to watch game. We pay a premium compared to other fan bases and he says this?

[@Jamhand13]

The Pitt head coach is mocking Neal on Twitter… If think that is okay you have lost picture

[@AustinJohnsonWV]

There is just absolutely no way in hell after being in year 6, these 3 guys believe the football program is in a good state and doesn’t need a change. Ive been following this show a long time and there is just clear bias that they aren’t even trying to hide which you almost have to respect it to a certain degree. But when a respected show and social platform wants to stand on that pedestal and not face reality, that’s why you get accounts like VOM that are growing like crazy. Maybe their age, combined with loyalty to Neal because of friendships, and lack of a social media presence is the reason why these guys just don’t get it. But it is truly baffling that they still refuse to admit the reality of how this football program is viewed by a large majority of the fan base and on the national scale which shouldn’t be okay with anyone.

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

Check out the latest episode of Got Your Eers On, Johnson really lays it out well.

[@schweber10]

Tony is in an impossible situation so you have to take him out. Brad is friends with him and Hoppy wants to be friends with him. This isn't your place to come for criticism.

[@satackett]

Big chance to lose another big game at home.

[@eers2you]

I very much have agreed with you all on most things. However, my take on NB's comment is that his hopelessness was on display. I do not for one minute think NB believes winning is a side note to an entertaining football event or extravagant tailgating experience with good weather. But I do believe that his exhaustion and hopelessness did indeed shine through, and that is not good.

[@donaldrhodes-w1h]

Like to hear Brad with Tony for Football

[@EersNSteelers]

Taken out of context or not gentlemen, when you produce the results you have produced this season and past 5 seasons, receiving criticism for those comments is beyond fair It wasn’t frustration about the Iowa state game, this frustration goes back to basically the entire NB era and saying what he said, considering the results he’s produced, is insanely tone deaf and hard to justify

[@billsheets1]

Garrett is off for some reason. He has to take off and run. He has had opportunities to run for big chunks but instead he forces passes into double and triple coverages . I haven't seen any improvement in his mechanics in the short game and his deep balls are down from last year. He is not an NFL QB so he needs to get his legs motoring

[@eerslink5498]

Yeah, I listened to the interview several times also, listened to his comment several times as well but I disagree. Especially about the comment "I assume that they had fun tailgating?"which, was an obvious dig at people consuming alcohol and then as a result, complains about the outcome of the game (as if you have to be drunk to criticize the garbage product on the field). At best, the entire answer was tone deaf, at worst, it's that he doesn't give a shit.

[@Herestotheroc25]

This is the worst podcast by anyone affiliated with any university. Have some freaking stones to address the real situations going on with our Football program. This happy go lucky huckster bullshit is why people like Shane Lyons were able to give out huge contracts to unproven coaching. The state of WV has a culture problem

[@magicray5088]

Our mission in life to harp on one thing, Really? .... winning is what we are talking / whining about ? this is the one thing that counts the most in this line of work , come on boys... its one thing to lose when you leave it all out on the field but we leave a lot of plays and effort out on the field... Cole Taylor on that interception was more his fault than Greene.... he didn't even look for the ball.... come on... yes, a LB hit him and he took a hit but he wasn't looking for the ball that early... its stuff like that is the issue we are all over the place during the games and not playing as a unit... Yates was hurting and Iowa State was hitting him hard.well let's take care of our own players and put two linemen in the back field and tell yates to hit the mat after the snap , because we are sending a freight train over top of him to bust that nose tackle in the mouth... run a hitch pass to the tighten end on that play... if the play need to be run again then we do it with donaldson in a wild cat formation with two linemen in the back field leading the way over the nose tackle... I am just saying.. do something to stop the bleeding players and fans like fighting for one another!! lets start fighting !!!
