This isn’t just a baseball video. Friend of the podcast @DanLohmann captured something in this video every Mountaineer fan has felt over the last few months — pride, belief, and a team that has brought an entire state together. Coach Sabins gets it. This team gets it. Thanks Dan Lohmann. Elite. #HailWV #WVUBaseball #RoadToOmaha @WVUBaseball

No game today, but plenty of WVU gold and blue in Omaha. Brad, Hoppy and Tony spent the day meeting Mountaineer fans who made the pilgrimage to the College World Series. The baseball is great. The people make it unforgettable. #WVUBaseball #RoadToOmaha #NextPlay #WinTheGame #HailWV

Highlight of the day in Omaha: A local TV reporter stopped @bradhowe07 and @TonyCaridi and asked if they’d do an interview about the fan experience and what it’s like visiting Omaha for the College World Series. She had absolutely no idea who she was interviewing. Why would she!?! For a few minutes, two of West Virginia’s most recognizable voices became “random fans from out of town.” #HailWV #RoadToOmaha #CollegeWorldSeries #3GuysBeforeTheGame #Mountaineers #NextPlay

Just saw three @WVUBaseball players walking through the crowd on the way back to their hotel from the stadium in the midst of throngs of fans going to the night game at the @CWSOmaha. No one was bothering them. No police escort. No armed security. Just three ball players in dirty uniforms laughing and strolling home after winning a ballgame. That’s not something you see at other major sporting events. That’s the charm of baseball. That’s the charm of Omaha. Never change.  #MCWS

Before anyone had finished settling into their seats in Omaha, West Virginia had already announced its arrival. The Mountaineers made history Friday afternoon by earning the program’s first-ever College World Series victory, defeating a resiliet Troy squad, 7-5, in a game packed with momentum swings, clutch hits and unforgettable moments.  From a daring steal of home in the opening inning to another display of the lineup’s remarkable depth, WVU once again found contributions from throughout the roster. Big hits came from unexpected places, and Division II transfer Ian Korn delivered the longest outing of his season to secure the biggest win of his career.   In this episode, the “Guys” break down a memorable day in Omaha and explain why this Mountaineer team continues to prove that its greatest strength is the collective effort of the entire roster.   The victory sends West Virginia into the winner’s bracket of the College World Series, where an even greater opportunity awaits on Sunday.   As always, the conversation includes Hoppy’s Obvious Observations and the story of an incredible Mountaineer fan's trip to Omaha.

Meticulous preparation gets you to Omaha, but the humility @stevesabins has built at @wvubaseball is caught, not taught.

The dream that once seemed distant is now reality.   For the first time in program history, West Virginia has arrived in Omaha.   The Mountaineers took the field Thursday at Charles Schwab Field to begin preparations for their College World Series debut, a milestone moment decades in the making.   Friday afternoon, WVU opens play against Troy in the first game of the 2026 College World Series. It’s the first CWS appearance for both programs and the next chapter in a season that has already rewritten the Mountaineer record book.   In this episode, the “Guys” welcome three guests who have shared a front-row seat to West Virginia’s remarkable journey. Former Major League standout and WVU Special Assistant to the Head Coach Jed Gyorko joins the conversation, along with Mountaineer Sports Network broadcasters Andrew Caridi and Jake Weghorst.   Together, they provide unique perspective, behind-the-scenes stories, and firsthand insight into the team, the atmosphere, and the significance of West Virginia’s historic arrival in Omaha.   It’s an informative, entertaining, and unforgettable preview of the biggest weekend in Mountaineer baseball history.
⚾️ Time to play ball in Omaha. Jed Gyorko, Andrew Caridi, and Jake Weghorst join the Guys to preview the biggest weekend in @WVUBaseball history @bradhowe07 @HoppyKercheval 🎧 Full episode spreaker.com/episode/3-guys-…
