3 Guys Before The Game – Bearcats Bounced (Episode 506)

It was a perfect day in so many ways.

Don Nehlen, the winningest coach in school history, had his name immortalized and the Mountaineers routed the University of Cincinnati.

The fact that Nehlen’s first college coaching job was at Cincinnati and his first victory at WVU was against Cincinnati made the day even more memorable.

Oh yeah, by the way, the Mountaineer victory guarantees WVU a winning season and gives them a chance to finish with nine wins.

Not bad for the team predicted to finish dead last in the Big 12.

In this episode, the “Guys” review the game and breakdown the grades on the final home date of the  season.

Listener questions and comments complete the show.
