  • Awesome Show for WVU football fans

    I started listening to this podcast last summer and was so impressed by the entertainment value and breakdown of each weeks opponent. The weekly breakdowns by Phil Steel is an awesome listen every week. This show has me craving to either hear perspectives on analysis of epic victory or heartbreaking defeat (ie Houston game)! Keep up the great work guys!

  • Only Mountaineers I plug in my ears

    As an Aussie fan of WVU, In The Gun have quickly become my first and only stop each week to get caught up on all things Mountaineer football. Hosts are great, striking an awesome balance of analysis, banter and storytelling, able to convey both the nuts and bolts of what went on schematically in the latest game as well as the passion and heart of WVU football. A five star listen.
