Former Mountaineers head coach Don Nehlen doesn't hold back about his time with the team, and narrator Tom Dheere's energetic performance sustains the frankness of Nehlen's stories. Nehlen is disarmingly honest about his failures, such as his disappointing 1998 season with an underachieving team, and Dheere sympathetically captures Nehlen's frustrations.
However, Dheere shines best during the highlights of the Mountaineer's history, his voice bursting with enthusiasm as he narrates thrilling events such as the Mountaineers' win over Oklahoma in 1982. Listeners will definitely enjoy the front-seat excitement of Nehlen's reminiscences.
