Host Tony Caridi sits down with head coach Rich Rodriguez to talk about the season thus far and their next opponent, the Red Raiders. The Ross Hodge Show and the Mark Kellogg Show have already started, so there are more shows to come as football winds down.

The Rich Rodriguez Show – Live from Kegler’s: November 24 preview
The Rich Rodriguez Radio Show, hosted by Mountaineer play-by-play voice Tony Caridi, live from Kegler’s Sports Bar & Grille, Morgantown’s most popular sports bar and restaurant. The show is on Mondays from 6-8 p.m., each week during WVU’s football season, except for the two open weeks.

What to expect
WVU had a bye week after losing to Arizona State a couple of weeks ago, so there was no show last week. Now, they face their toughest test of the season, the fifth-ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders. Texas Tech beat UCF last week, 48-9, to move to 10-1 on the season. Their lone loss came at Arizona State, which WVU nearly beat a couple of weeks ago. It is a challenging game for the Mountaineers to win, but they have a shot if they keep playing as well as they have in recent weeks. The bye week also helps, as they can entirely focus on beating Texas Tech and ending their season on a high note.

The Mountaineers have made some waves recruiting recently, getting a commitment from one of the best offensive linemen in the Class of 2026. That is always a central talking point during the show, and even more so now that they are not bowl-eligible this season. WVU still has a chance to have a big recruiting week if it can upset Texas Tech in Morgantown.
This game is of massive importance, despite not mattering much for WVU this season. The game is slated to air on ESPN at noon on Saturday, making it an excellent opportunity for the Mountaineers to leave fans wanting more next season. Caridi and Rodriguez should discuss how important this game is to the program, and they should likely treat it as their bowl game.
