What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I am a WVU podcast junkie. I rarely miss any of the good ones, i.e. Three Guys Before The Game, Metro news, Sportsline, Sunday Sportsline, and occasionally In The Gun. This podcast is the go to for candid and forthright commentary. Nobody knows the Mountaineers inside and out better than these guys. They occasionally get too far into the weeds, but I’m willing to listen to that to get the good stuff. Kudos to Chris and Mike.

Chris and Mike set the standard for straight to the point insight and analysis of WVU football, basketball, and recruiting. I listen to every WVU athletics pod available, and most of the others reference this show when making their own week-to-week. Minimal fluff here, which I appreciate. Excellent for hardcore WVU fans.

M Stilt · Nov 2022

Unlike the previous comment I actually believe you guys call out the flaws in our team and our coaches as well as the good things. it’s a good balance of the two. Appreciate you guys, making my days at work better one podcast at a time.

WestbyGod304 · Oct 2020

My only gripe is that I wish the episodes were a bit longer, though the episodes have been frequent so I’ll excuse it. Great information about all things new with the mountaineers, including recruiting. I’ve read articles by Chris and mike for years and they do great work.
