Groovy Guests
Welcome to Groovy Guests — where the best conversations on Three Guys Before The Game get even better.
Here at 3 Guys we’ve had the privilege of welcoming some truly memorable voices into the studio — Mountaineer athletes, coaches, administrators, and personalities who have helped shape WVU athletics and the culture around it.
Groovy Guests is where those full episodes live. Every episode in this category features a special guest joining me, Brad Howe, and Hoppy Kercheval for in-depth, unscripted conversations you won’t find anywhere else. Sometimes it’s a current Mountaineer, sometimes a legend, sometimes a decision-maker behind the scenes — but every time, it’s authentic, entertaining, and unmistakably West Virginia.
The guests may vary, the stories always do — but the laughs, the insight, and the Mountaineer perspective never change.
If you love the game beyond the scoreboard, you’re in the right place
