    What WVU Wants For Christmas

    What WVU Wants For Christmas

    The hosts of the Burning Couch podcast, Matty Staudt and Steve Slaton, reunite after some time off. They excitedly discuss West Virginia's upcoming bowl game against UNC in the Mayo Bowl. Despite a rocky season, WVU persevered and earned this bowl bid. Maddy and Steve then lament the struggles of the WVU basketball team this year, facing eligibility issues and blowout losses. However, they remain hopeful the team can turn things around. Transitioning topics, the hosts read their "wish lists" for Santa Claus, poking fun at WVU's challenges while ultimately expressing their unwavering fandom and demanding better from the university. In classic Burning Couch fashion, Maddy and Steve banter as old friends, mixing sports analysis with humor and heart. Their rapport reminds fans why this show has lasted 15 years - because beneath the roasting and jokes are two guys who bleed old gold and blue.

Better Than Ever!

Steve and Matty have really gotten a good flow and the guests are great. Fun stuff for the WVU fan who wants a more laid back approach and Steve is the GOAT, so always fun to hear his take.
