INSANE- Greg Sankey Wants CONTROL... BLAMES The Big 12 for CFB Chaos!

The SEC says college football is broken. But are they really trying to fix it... or are they simply looking for someone else to blame? In today's episode, we break down why Greg Sankey and the SEC are pointing to the Big 12 and the Texas Tech gambling controversy as evidence the NCAA can't govern itself. We also dive into the Protect College Sports Act, the SEC's push for more control, the growing divide between the SEC and the rest of college football, and why West Virginia fans should be paying very close attention. Is this really about protecting college sports... or protecting SEC power? Let me know your thoughts in the comments! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Phil Steele SLAMS the National Media's WVU Narrative!

Phil Steele just said what a lot of West Virginia fans have been thinking all offseason. While much of the national media continues to point to last year's 4-8 record as proof that WVU is years away, Steele says the context matters. A roster built after spring practice, devastating injuries that forced the Mountaineers to their fifth-string quarterback and running back, and a coaching staff simply trying to survive made 2025 anything but a normal season. In this episode, I break down Phil Steele's comments on why Rich Rodriguez's 2026 team is fundamentally different, why the addition of Rick Trickett and the Jacksonville State pipeline could transform the offense, and why the Mountaineers have a legitimate opportunity to double last year's win total. Is the national media overlooking one of the biggest turnaround teams in college football?

BREAKING: National Media is ALL IN on West Virginia Basketball!

The national media is finally waking up to what's brewing in Morgantown! In this episode of Locked On West Virginia, I break down the massive praise rolling in for WVU Hoops ahead of the 2026 season. CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein is officially putting the country on notice, labeling the Mountaineers as a massive "Big 12 Sleeper" poised for a huge jump. Plus, ESPN's Fran Fraschilla is raving about the rapid improvement in the conference, specifically shouting out the excellent transfers and high school recruits Ross Hodge has brought in to build this roster. Is West Virginia ready to shock the Big 12 this year? We dive into the roster hype, the national expectations, and why Coach Hodge has this program trending way up.

BREAKING- The Math Says WVU Is About to RUN WILD BABY!

Can Rich Rodriguez really lead West Virginia to one of the greatest rushing seasons in program history? After Schuyler Callihan projected the Mountaineers to rush for over 3,000 yards, I decided to dig even deeper. I studied every elite Rich Rodriguez offense—from Pat White and Steve Slaton at West Virginia, to Denard Robinson at Michigan, Khalil Tate at Arizona, and the Jacksonville State teams featuring Cam Cook and Rick Trickett. What I found surprised me. In this episode, I break down why I believe the 2026 Mountaineers could rush for 3,425 yards, where that total would rank among Rich Rodriguez's greatest offenses, why the Big 12 has already provided the blueprint, and how Cam Cook, Michael Hawkins Jr., Amari Latimer, and Rick Trickett could make it happen. Is this prediction too bold... or is history telling us it's actually realistic? Let me know your projection for WVU's rushing attack in the comments! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

ALERT- Zac Alley Just Gave WVU Fans a HUGE REASON for Optimism!!

West Virginia's linebacker room has undergone one of the biggest transformations on the entire roster... and it starts with one player most fans aren't talking about enough. Defensive coordinator Zac Alley went out of his way to praise Cam Torbor this spring, and after digging into his story, it's easy to see why. From barely playing football until his junior year of high school to emerging as one of WVU's most intriguing breakout candidates, Torbor's development could be a major key to the Mountaineers' defense in 2026. We also break down why Ben Cutter believes this defense is completely different than a year ago, how transfers Isaiah Patterson and Malachi Hood have strengthened the linebacker room, and why Zac Alley says he finally has SIX linebackers capable of helping West Virginia win football games. Could this quietly become the deepest position group on the defense? Let me know in the comments: Who finishes the season as WVU's best linebacker? 👍 Like the video if you enjoyed it! 🔔 Subscribe for daily West Virginia Mountaineers coverage! 🏈 New Locked On West Virginia episodes every weekday.

WTF? WVU Fans Are Going to LOVE Pat Narduzzi's Latest Take

Pat Narduzzi is back in the headlines... and this time he may have delivered his wildest quote yet. At ACC Media Days, the Pitt head coach declared that the ACC is better than the Big Ten and as good as any conference in America. Naturally, we had to dive into the numbers, Pitt's résumé under Narduzzi, and whether the results actually back up that kind of confidence. But that's only the beginning. We also take a trip through Pat Narduzzi's greatest offseason hits—from the "zoo animals" comments, to the beer can and "less liquored up" remarks about Morgantown, to the Backyard Brawl history, and why it seems like every offseason brings another headline involving West Virginia. Plus: 🏈 Is the ACC really better than the Big Ten or SEC? 🏈 How has Pitt actually performed against current Big 12 opponents? 🏈 Does Narduzzi's résumé support his claims? 🏈 Why this rivalry continues to fuel some of college football's best offseason entertainment. As always, let us know what you think in the comments: Did Pat Narduzzi go too far, or is this exactly what rivalry season is all about? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

DID WVU CHANGE ENOUGH?! CFN Has BIG Questions...

College Football News believes West Virginia is one of the biggest wild cards in the entire Big 12—but they also have one major question: Did Rich Rodriguez and the Mountaineers change enough? In this episode, we break down CFN's full 2026 preview, including why they're projecting WVU to finish just 6-6, why they believe Michael Hawkins Jr. is the key to the entire season, and why Cam Cook could be one of the nation's top running backs. We'll also discuss whether the offensive line has improved enough, if Zac Alley's defense is being underrated, whether the transfer portal additions are enough to compete for a Big 12 Championship, and if College Football News is too low—or just right—on the Mountaineers. Plus, we answer six viewer mailbag questions covering some of the biggest storylines heading into fall camp, including Michael Hawkins, the offensive line, Rich Rodriguez's offense, the defense, and what WVU's true ceiling is in 2026. Is WVU really the Big 12's biggest wild card? Or did Rich Rodriguez build a team that's ready to surprise everyone? Drop your season prediction in the comments! Do you agree with CFN's 6-6 prediction, or do you think the Mountaineers are ready to exceed expectations? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

I LOVE WVU!!! I LOVE THIS PODCAST!!!
Mountaineer Paul makes fans out of non-fans

Eazy Triple OG

I’m not a West Virginia fan (Oregon), but I stumbled onto this podcast when wanting to hear the Mountaineer fan base’s reaction to Rich Rod coming back. I thought I’d listen for one, maybe two episodes, but here I am: months later, fully subbed, and listening all the time to a podcast of a team I don’t root for, all because of Mountaineer Paul. The guy is so wholesome; there’s an earnestness and sincerity in his unabashed love for West Virginia that is flat-out compelling. His gritty honesty about tough times he’s faced in life add an inspiring dimension not often seen in reaction and analysis sports podcasts. So while I say I’m neutral on West Virginia, I’m all in on Mountaineer Paul and this Locked In Podcast. I’d actually love it if Rodriguez turns things around and gives Paul a football program that he and that fan base can be proud of again.
