Show Notes:
Segment 1: Basketball
- WVU falls to Baylor at home, 77-68 weird 5pm tip...WHY.. STUPID!

- What does the Baylor Basketball Team and Got Your Eers On have in common?
- WVU falls to Texas Tech, 78-65
- We suck at offensing.
- Shannon's hair looks like ornaments hung in a tree.
- Our only hope here is that this Tech coach that wants to style himself as an aging woman messes them up.
- That tech assistant looks like a younger version of the head coach.
- Aging woman doesn’t like that effort from ornaments hair.
- I don’t think this press has the effect Tech thinks it’s having.
- And now why do I feel like we need Curry on the floor.
