## Resource

The next two weeks could completely change the way the country views West Virginia football. If WVU can defeat No. 25 Virginia in Charlotte and then return home to beat an Oklahoma State team fresh off its upset of No. 6 Oregon, the Mountaineers would move to 4–0 and potentially reenter the national rankings for the first time since 2018. Would that mean WVU is officially back? Maybe not—but it would force America to take notice. In this episode, we discuss what these two games could mean for Rich Rodriguez, Michael Hawkins Jr., the future of the program and WVU’s place in the Big 12 race. Plus, WVU athletic director Wren Baker tells the unbelievable story of being bitten by a snake in his own basement—and Paul reacts! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
