Ladies and gentlemen, we welcome you on board the train that goes to the game.

This is three guys before the game.

We welcome you back.

And to be quite honest, it's wonderful that we're back because we didn't know if we were coming back after we taped last week's debut show.

But in the course of seven days, this has become West Virginia's fastest growing podcast as opposed to. Oh, I tell you what,

the numbers, they're outstanding. In all seriousness, thanks so much to everybody who gave us

positive feedback on episode number one. We said last week when we came on that we were going to join you, we hoped,

each and every week before games to talk about that.

I'm Tony Carritti along with the Senator Brad Howe and the dean of all radio voices in West

Virginia, Hopi Kirchival, and it's three guys before the game, and we've got game

activity here, folks. West Virginia, East Carolina is coming up.

You can't call them East Carolina. Did you not read their game notes? They are not. They are

absolutely not. East Carolina, Eastern Carolina, E Carolina, or any derivative thereof, it would be ECU, Tony.

Can you please make a note of that?

E.C.U.

Which, by the way, do you ever wonder why, and this, why is it when you see sometimes on stadiums

away or on television, they go W period Virginia?

I mean, can I not be, can I not be corrected?

I mean, seriously, I mean, should it be, it should be WVU or West Virginia. I mean, can I not, can I not be corrected? That's bad. I mean, seriously, I mean, should it be, it should be WVU or West Virginia.

It's not W period Virginia.

It never has been.

And it's hard to fit West Virginia in there, but you're right.
