The first game of the college football season always brings optimism, but that feeling is even stronger at West Virginia as Rich Rodriguez and his retooled roster prepare to open the season.

Saturday’s opener against Coastal Carolina carries added significance as legendary quarterback Pat White has his number retired during a pregame ceremony.

In this episode, the “Guys” preview Week 1 and visit with Coastal Carolina play-by-play announcer Chris Burgin. Hoppy delivers his Obvious Observations, and listener questions and comments fuel another round of Textual Healing.

The crew returns Thursday with its complete preview of Saturday’s game.
