Wolves clinch, NFL Schedule release & Circa Survivor implications, Eliot Clough talks Hawkeyes & Cyclones with Bill Seals · The Lunch Rush with Trent Condon

• 0:19
  Good afternoon. Welcome to Miller and Condon on
• 0:21
  a Thursday. The Iowa Sports Radio Network,
• 0:25
  Iowa based programming for the next block of six hours and
• 0:29
  thank you for starting your afternoon here with us.
• 0:32
  Trent Condon, Ken Miller talking sports until 2.
• 0:34
  Here's what's coming up on the program.
• 0:36
  Lots to get to with the release of the NFL schedule.
• 0:39
  We'll take a look at three of the four regional teams and our
• 0:42
  number two first hour of the program.
• 0:44
  We'll talk Hawks and we'll talk clones and do so in that order.
• 0:47
  Elliot Cleff will join us. Go Iowa.
• 0:52
  Awesome, right? Now Hawkeye Beacon.
• 0:55
  Guy Beacon. Changed a couple of years ago, a
• 0:57
  year and a half. Ago, didn't it?
• 0:58
  Yeah, but Elliott will be here. The rival site.
• 1:01
  The rival site, right. He joins us coming up here at at
• 1:05
  Bottom of the Hour and then Bill Seals.
• 1:07
  Speaking of rivals, cyclonereport.com.
• 1:09
  We'll do a little Hawks, we'll do a little clones.
• 1:12
  Our number 2 Dane Moussutani will talk about the Vikings as
• 1:15
  they amongst the 32 teams that received their schedule.
• 1:18
  But he also covered the Timberwolves last night as they
• 1:21
  clinched at home. So Steph Curry will not get the
• 1:24
  opportunity to have that extra time while the Valkyrie play.
• 1:29
  It's redundant now is the Golden State Warriors have been
• 1:32
  eliminated. The T Wolves have punched their
• 1:34
  ticket to the Western Conference Finals.
• 1:37
  So we'll do NFL schedule on the Vikings and T Wolves with Dane
• 1:40
  Dave Syndicant on the Packers and what lies ahead for Green
• 1:43
  Bay and then likewise with the Chiefs.
• 1:45
  And to the surprise of no one, they are the most watch team in
• 1:50
  prime time and will be again this year as they get I think 7
• 1:53
  prime time games for the Kansas City Chiefs as they look to run
• 1:58
  it back one more year. Trent, we'll make some picks
• 2:01
  before we get out of here. Circus Sports sponsor those and
• 2:04
  turn things over the drive at 2:00 with Heather and Lucas.
• 2:07
  So pretty good night of sports last night.
• 2:11
  Really good hockey game. I'm guessing you stayed till the
• 2:13
  bitter end as you're a night owl.
• 2:15
  Once the kids are in bed and Mama's asleep and Trent's got
• 2:18
  the TV and I had to. Do something a little different
• 2:20
  last night. Got home from softball practice
• 2:25
  and my wife's kind of freaking a little bit and got a million
• 2:30
  things going on end of the school year all over the place.
• 2:33
  May's a busy time and she said I didn't charge a car.
• 2:37
  So her new vehicle that she got. Is electric.
• 2:40
  It's electric and though we have what you can plug in, we do not
• 2:44
  have the adapter to make it fully charge.
• 2:47
  Like if she would plug it in overnight, it might go up 15%.
• 2:50
  That's it, That's it. So I said, how about this?
• 2:53
  Everybody go to bed. I'll watch the second-half of
• 2:56
  the T Wolves game over at the charging station.
• 2:58
  And that's what I did. Just watch it on my phone at the
• 3:00
  charging station as we. Have to leave the house.
• 3:03
  You can do it at home, but it just it doesn't until you get
• 3:06
  the actual electricity needed to be powerful enough, which we
• 3:10
  are. It will be installed in the.
• 3:12
  Next week. So like when we had a hot tub
• 3:13
  where we had one that we had to what do you call outlet that we
• 3:17
  had to OK. So that's the same thing that
• 3:20
  you need for the electric car. I want one, yes.
• 3:22
  At some point, I'm not sure that we'll get one, but are you happy
• 3:26
  with it? Love it I.
• 3:28
  Hear they're fast as hell. Oh yeah, I mean, the get up on
• 3:30
  the thing. So it's it's a maki.
• 3:32
  It's quick, it's quiet, it's. That's the other part.
• 3:36
  It's really quiet, right yet. For our family plenty big modest
• 3:40
  it yes it's a Mustang, but it's not a Mustang.
• 3:42
  It's not a muscle car. It's a sedan and it's now my
• 3:48
  wife drove her old car for 18 years.
• 3:50
  We'll see if we get ATD bore out years out of this one.
• 3:52
  But yeah, it's been really cool. But that is the one downside
• 3:56
  until these next couple of weeks until we get everything going
• 3:59
  and get the charger that'll be installed in our garage.
• 4:01
  Until that you have to go out there and the fast charger,
• 4:05
  which it took 28 minutes to go from 10% battery and you're only
• 4:09
  supposed to charge it up to 80% to do that 28 minutes.
• 4:13
  Do you have to pay? For that for that you do, and
• 4:15
  for that fast charger is more expensive.
• 4:18
  So where do you go to do that There?
• 4:19
  Are there outlets throughout? All over, Yeah.
• 4:22
  In West Des Moines, the fastest 1 is over on University.
• 4:25
  There's a fairway back over there, Half Price Books back in
• 4:28
  that area, tucked back behind the fairway.
• 4:30
  Those are the Super fast chargers and those things are
• 4:33
  quick. And is there a line of cars
• 4:35
  waiting to do this or no? Well, not, not at 11:00 at night
• 4:39
  there wasn't. I was the only one that was
• 4:41
  doing it. But I went by one time.
• 4:42
  My wife was charging the first time that she charged it up over
• 4:45
  there and there was one other car there.
• 4:47
  But you can map it out. In fact, on your GPS display on
• 4:52
  the vehicle, it'll tell you where the charging stations are,
• 4:54
  if it's a regular charging station or these fast charging
• 4:57
  stations. And you can kind of map out your
• 5:00
  plan out your trip if you're taking your vehicle that way
• 5:02
  too. I guess that's right.
• 5:03
  Now the down. So how many, how many miles
• 5:06
  once? Once you get to that point,
• 5:07
  you'll be able to go how many miles without recharging?
• 5:10
  About 260. So and is that up from where it
• 5:14
  used to be when they first? There and there are two
• 5:16
  different models at least of the Fords that they have.
• 5:18
  Yeah, that one's about 2:20 and the other one's about 260.
• 5:22
  It's up. And I don't know the Tesla side
• 5:24
  of it, what their batteries are. I just, I'm just in the world
• 5:27
  that we're in right now. But, and that's what I know of
• 5:29
  it. I, I enjoy it.
• 5:30
  I think it's, it's something that is at least intriguing
• 5:33
  going forward. But we also did something we'd
• 5:35
  never done before. We leased our vehicle.
• 5:37
  Never done that all the time dude.
• 5:39
  I I know. With the exception we just
• 5:40
  bought. Yeah, 'cause you always had new
• 5:42
  vehicles. Yeah, going through never done
• 5:44
  just because we didn't know, you know, never done electric like
• 5:47
  this before. She had a hybrid before.
• 5:49
  That's completely different than this.
• 5:50
  And seeing after a couple years we don't like it, we can just go
• 5:53
  back to the tradition route. There's something to be said for
• 5:55
  that. Well, good stuff.
• 5:56
  I learned something I did not know but.
• 5:58
  So the Timberwolves in the car last night for me, and it wasn't
• 6:03
  they just, they're just better. They were, I mean, give the
• 6:06
  Warriors credit, they tried to hang around a little bit late in
• 6:08
  the game and tried to make it a game.
• 6:10
  They came back and that cut a big deficit down to I think
• 6:13
  single digits at one point. But it, it never seemed like,
• 6:16
  you know, as I was watching it, that boy, they're going to blow
• 6:20
  this when you're going to end up back in, in the Bay Area.
• 6:23
  Forget. I never had that feeling once.
• 6:25
  In fact, I turned it off and went to bed.
• 6:28
  Take the end of the hockey game. It's a good thing game went to
• 6:31
  overtime and the Vegas Golden Knights have been eliminated and
• 6:35
  the Edmonton Oilers March on. Is this going to be the year
• 6:40
  that it finally happens? And what I'm talking about is
• 6:44
  the Stanley Cup goes back north of the border for the first time
• 6:47
  since, what, 93? I think it's 93 since Montreal
• 6:50
  won. So my question, and it's been
• 6:52
  the same question I've had for you now for probably a week and
• 6:54
  a half, Stewart Skinner. So now he's back.
• 6:57
  He's really back. And he's been tremendous.
• 7:01
  But this is not a guy that's 23 years old.
• 7:04
  He's 26. Is a light bulb coming on?
• 7:07
  I mean, does that happen? When goalie, yes, that's when
• 7:09
  goalies. I mean you seldom, I mean it can
• 7:11
  happen, but you usually get better the more you play and.
• 7:14
  'Cause he was a mean, a talented guy, right they?
• 7:17
  Sure you don't make the leap. But he was, I mean, I remember
• 7:20
  him, what, 5-6 years ago when he made his debut, there was buzz
• 7:23
  about him. You know, that this is going to
• 7:25
  be a top 1012 type of goalie. It certainly hasn't been the
• 7:29
  case. So it very well could be just
• 7:32
  reps maybe for whatever reason it's clicking, maybe even
• 7:35
  sitting for a game, maybe that clear them out and all of a
• 7:39
  sudden because if they get this kind of goaltending look out,
• 7:43
  they're they have to be a significant favorite, don't
• 7:46
  they? I think, yeah, I mean, regard, I
• 7:47
  mean, it will be the stars because they've still got a home
• 7:49
  game and we know how those go for the good guys, assuming they
• 7:53
  win tonight. And I can't make that
• 7:55
  assumption. But yeah, I think Edmonton right
• 7:57
  now has got to be the favorite and Conor Mcdavid's got to be
• 7:59
  the favorite to win the con. Smythe, especially if they knock
• 8:02
  out the stars, that goes to the Most Valuable Player in the
• 8:05
  playoffs. And I'm really hoping he does
• 8:07
  because he's a legitimate, bona fide, one of the best to ever
• 8:11
  play the game. And you want to see those guys
• 8:13
  get their payoff, which would be, in this case, the best
• 8:17
  trophy in sports to skate around with it.
• 8:19
  And he would be the one that the commissioner gets booed when he
• 8:21
  walks on to the ice. Would pass the trophy too 1st.
• 8:25
  So we'll see. Still some still some hockey to
• 8:28
  be played. Obviously gonna have to get by
• 8:30
  in all likelihood the Dallas Stars to do so.
• 8:34
  What else schedule wise? Schedule came out last night.
• 8:37
  I, I loved every minute of it. Now I didn't watch the videos
• 8:41
  when I say I watched, I loved every minute of it.
• 8:43
  I love being able to go and just bounce around where I wanted to
• 8:46
  go. Bounce around.
• 8:48
  The 32 team videos that get put out, that's not for me.
• 8:53
  I know that it moves some people's needle.
• 8:54
  Yeah, you know, more power to you if that's the case.
• 8:58
  But just. It just feels real now, doesn't
• 9:02
  it? It's in front of you.
• 9:04
  You can go through and you can now you can W&L it.
• 9:07
  Because you can't. Do that just yes, we know the
• 9:09
  opponent, but it's not the same. The order, short week.
• 9:14
  We don't know when the grand scheme of things actually how
• 9:15
  this is going to turn out. But yes, it is a real moment
• 9:19
  that you have that tangible schedule that you can look at
• 9:22
  and you can see and you can play your mind how this thing's going
• 9:25
  to play out. What's going to happen.
• 9:26
  Here's a stretch. Here's where they're going to
• 9:28
  pull an upset, whatever it is, you can do all those things and
• 9:32
  on top of it, you can start to map out what you're going to do
• 9:34
  for circus. And that's what I started doing
• 9:36
  last night, Trent. And you know what, up until, oh,
• 9:39
  probably a couple of days, I'm out.
• 9:41
  I can't play this contest again. It just drives me nuts.
• 9:45
  It is the most difficult endeavour I've ever tried to
• 9:48
  partake. And I do it with a group of guys
• 9:50
  and we have fun with it. You know, we get on the phone
• 9:53
  and, or Zoom and we, you know, map out our strategy and stuff.
• 9:58
  And that part of it's fun, but it's freaking impossible.
• 10:02
  Well, it but it's not because somebody doesn't have a single.
• 10:05
  Year no. And just, I mean just the if you
• 10:08
  could ever get to that point and it it happens every single year
• 10:12
  for people. I mean, we've been in, is this
• 10:14
  the third or the 4th? This is coming up year 4.
• 10:17
  This will be year #4 yes. And my group and it's not like
• 10:21
  we have one entry. We've got what do we have 6 like
• 10:25
  we had six, we have 6 or 4, whatever.
• 10:27
  We've got multiple entries. We've never seen October.
• 10:31
  I did, and you're one. You're.
• 10:32
  One you did and that and that was one week right about.
• 10:34
  And then one week, yeah, week 5, boom, Jacksonville out.
• 10:37
  I, I still remember him vividly. Jacksonville getting bounced
• 10:40
  there. It was the Minnesota Tampa game
• 10:42
  week 1-2 years ago that knocked me out in week 1 and then last
• 10:46
  season got beat like most people got beat with.
• 10:48
  Cincinnati, OH Since oh, the Ravens in Week 2 got Ravens by
• 10:51
  the Raiders. Yes, Week 2, that's.
• 10:53
  Right. We lost most of our and we, I
• 10:56
  think we carried one forward to Week 2.
• 10:59
  And of course we piled on the Ravers because are the Ravens
• 11:02
  because they're hosting the Raiders, Who?
• 11:04
  Stink, right? This is easy.
• 11:06
  They have double figures fourth quarter.
• 11:07
  Oh. God collapse.
• 11:09
  But I mean, there's a reason why it's so difficult to do it, but
• 11:14
  it just seems on the surf. And you see the nickel and
• 11:16
  dimers that make it every year that are there at the end that
• 11:18
  are in those final couple of weeks and you think you how?
• 11:21
  The hell did this guy get there? Right and.
• 11:23
  Yeah, they had one entry. The piano player right from a
• 11:26
  couple of years ago on the lounge.
• 11:28
  Singer. Yes, the group of buddies that
• 11:31
  just all pulled their money together.
• 11:32
  Everybody threw in a couple of 100 bucks and here they are,
• 11:35
  chances to become millionaires. And they did.
• 11:37
  And that's. The part of it, he keeps you
• 11:40
  coming back. Except the one guy that just, I
• 11:42
  just can't take this anymore. So they bought him out, sold his
• 11:45
  share, sold his share, and Oh my God, making himself friends with
• 11:49
  those guys. So my mind, of course, went to
• 11:52
  Thanksgiving because that will be its own week.
• 11:54
  Yep, and there's four games because the Black Friday game is
• 11:57
  included in it. So you have Green Bay at
• 11:59
  Detroit. Great game.
• 12:01
  Great game. Kansas City at Dallas.
• 12:03
  Incredible The night game. Cincinnati, Baltimore.
• 12:06
  Yeah. And then Chicago at
• 12:08
  Philadelphia, I would anticipate most people mapping things out.
• 12:12
  Would take the Eagles. Are holding.
• 12:14
  I would hope to hold on to Philadelphia until they got to
• 12:17
  that point. This is week 13 though.
• 12:19
  Can he get through 12 weeks holding Philly in your back
• 12:22
  pocket? Well, you can't play Kansas City
• 12:25
  on Thanksgiving. You know why they play Christmas
• 12:27
  Day. And is Christmas Day going to be
• 12:30
  a stand alone and only three games you get to?
• 12:32
  I guess we got to find out for Mike Palm tomorrow.
• 12:34
  Well, and here's the other components.
• 12:37
  So did you see those? So that's week 17, the ones that
• 12:42
  they called Flex Games. Yes, late in the schedule.
• 12:45
  Yes, that it is that week, that Christmas week that is starts on
• 12:49
  Thursday, which is Christmas this year, December 25th.
• 12:52
  Now they're not going to flex out of 1/3 of the Christmas Day
• 12:55
  game. No.
• 12:56
  But I do wonder, is there a chance where you add an
• 12:59
  additional game or is there a chance that they do add a Friday
• 13:04
  game or a Saturday game? Is that what they're looking at
• 13:08
  potentially with these flex games?
• 13:10
  And if that happens, you add a Saturday or even multiple
• 13:13
  Saturday, Saturday games in there.
• 13:15
  And suddenly, which looks almost impossible right now because you
• 13:18
  mentioned it, Kansas City's playing on Thanksgiving and
• 13:20
  they're playing also. Detroit is playing on
• 13:22
  Thanksgiving and they're also playing on Christmas.
• 13:26
  Dallas is playing Thanksgiving and Christmas.
• 13:28
  Those three teams, we're down to only three options for
• 13:32
  Christmas. You have to or do they do
• 13:36
  something different with it? If we find out that they're not
• 13:38
  going to do Saturday games, which I think they will have to,
• 13:41
  but if they are not, does all of a sudden that that Monday night
• 13:45
  game, Rams at Falcons, does that become part of that where you
• 13:49
  have the Sunday games are stand alone, you get Christmas Day and
• 13:53
  Monday night. Is that a direction?
• 13:55
  Well, that I'd feel better about my chances if that's the case
• 13:57
  because on the surface right now, I think the Rams are going
• 13:59
  to be Atlanta. And you only have and it's week
• 14:01
  17. It's a week away from the
• 14:03
  finale, and to think that that is the way that it could come to
• 14:07
  a conclusion for you making that deep run and you only have three
• 14:10
  teams and the likelihood of those three teams that you
• 14:13
  haven't used Washington or Minnesota or Denver going into
• 14:17
  that one. There's going to be Saturday
• 14:20
  games though, isn't there it? Has to be, yeah, it's, it's so
• 14:22
  difficult. But again, as soon as the
• 14:24
  schedule came out, that's what I started to do for that very
• 14:27
  reason. I'm I'm back in, I know it.
• 14:30
  I already know I'm going to be heading out when we head out the
• 14:32
  Big 10 Media days and signing up with my proxy sports conciliarge
• 14:38
  and Matt Perrault, my former Co host here.
• 14:41
  They've got a proxy business and they've been, they've
• 14:44
  represented us the last couple of years.
• 14:45
  So good stuff. Can't wait.
• 14:48
  Your thoughts on the Bears? Did you dig into your Bears
• 14:50
  schedule at all? I did a little bit and walked
• 14:53
  away OK with it. We know for a fourth place
• 14:57
  schedule, it's not an easy one on the surface.
• 15:00
  And you take a look at any metric that kind of measures how
• 15:02
  both last seasons straight to schedule going into this year or
• 15:06
  just taking what they believe teams are going to be this year.
• 15:09
  They didn't get a standard 4th place schedule.
• 15:11
  But opening up against that fraud, JJ McCarthy in Week 1.
• 15:15
  I love it. Is that a stand?
• 15:17
  That's a standalone Monday night, right?
• 15:19
  Because the next Monday night has two games.
• 15:22
  So you get a single Monday night game, standalone game against
• 15:25
  the fraud at home you can't complain about.
• 15:27
  That what if he knocks you? I mean when when he beats your
• 15:30
  squad. Exactly right.
• 15:31
  I know it'll happen. Yeah.
• 15:32
  At the Lions week two. OK, that's tough.
• 15:34
  Yeah, but new coordinators in Detroit, I would rather face
• 15:38
  them there as opposed to which is going to be a daunting task
• 15:41
  on the road. I'd rather do it there than in
• 15:43
  October or November. So fine with that.
• 15:46
  You're home for Dallas. Should win.
• 15:49
  I think Dallas is going to be better.
• 15:51
  If you're going to be a playoff team, you.
• 15:52
  Have to be Dallas. You have to win that game at the
• 15:55
  Raiders. You have to beat that game now.
• 15:57
  I hate the way they're biased. Their bias way too early for my.
• 16:00
  Liking yes before they go to the Commanders.
• 16:02
  They're a revenge angle Monday Night Football after the Hail
• 16:06
  Mary from a year ago. Saints win now here.
• 16:10
  Hunter deckers PC play. Might be CEO at Baltimore at
• 16:15
  Cincinnati. Hello.
• 16:16
  Good luck, Giants, though not. Bad at home?
• 16:20
  At the Vikings seemingly always split, with the Vikings home for
• 16:23
  the Steelers. Rodgers will be banged up by
• 16:26
  then. At the Eagles, we know
• 16:28
  difficult. At the Packers after that.
• 16:30
  Tough two games right there. But then suddenly you got to
• 16:33
  bounce back at the end of the season, you got to win both
• 16:35
  Cleveland, Green Bay, probably maybe even have to go to San
• 16:37
  Francisco and win. And then you finish up at home
• 16:40
  with the Lions. And that's a Sunday night
• 16:42
  affair, that San Francisco game. Brock Purdy and company, that's
• 16:46
  that's pretty darn good. Have you seen the the Lions Rd.
• 16:50
  schedule? You want to get to this one in
• 16:52
  the NFC North because it's almost unfair.
• 16:55
  The teams here are the teams that they have to play on the
• 16:57
  road. Of course, we know they're going
• 16:58
  to play the three division teams, right?
• 17:00
  They've got to go to Baltimore, they've got to go to Cincinnati.
• 17:04
  They've got to go to Kansas City.
• 17:06
  They've got to go to Washington. They've got to go to
• 17:08
  Philadelphia. They've got to go to Ramville.
• 17:10
  Who? Who do they piss off?
• 17:13
  Really find me the non playoff a contender in that group of Rd.
• 17:19
  games. All those teams you anticipate
• 17:21
  are going to be at minimum pretty good.
• 17:23
  Right there, absolutely solid team, yes.
• 17:25
  There's not a laugher among them.
• 17:26
  There's not, not I I can't find the where's the free square at
• 17:31
  Washington? No, I don't think so.
• 17:33
  And. You're not going to go 9 and no
• 17:34
  at home. No, this Detroit and I like
• 17:38
  Detroit this year. I liked them last year and they
• 17:40
  got so many injuries, and Detroit's one of those teams
• 17:44
  that I'm, you know, eyeing in the NFC to build my exactas
• 17:48
  around or my finalists around. But man, with that schedule,
• 17:52
  good God. Do you know anything about their
• 17:55
  new coordinators? John Morton is their new No, I
• 17:57
  don't. Kelvin Shepherd is their new DC.
• 18:00
  See, I mean, that's part of offseason work because that
• 18:04
  concerns me and it one example shouldn't paint the picture.
• 18:08
  But it's right. It's still fresh in our minds
• 18:10
  what happened with Philadelphia. It was so.
• 18:12
  Bad. So ugly.
• 18:13
  That personality of Campbell. I want to see what happens when
• 18:17
  it starts going South. It could be, I'm sure.
• 18:19
  Very grating to have that kind of personality.
• 18:22
  Yeah, it's great when you're 13 and 4, when you're 15 and 2.
• 18:26
  Seashells and balloons. What's it like when you're 5:00
• 18:29
  and 7:00 and you're desperate and it's late November and
• 18:33
  you've heard the message? Sticks wearing off.
• 18:35
  And he won't shut up about it. I like to do it.
• 18:38
  I really do too. What's he to win?
• 18:41
  Coach of the Year, have you? Have you seen?
• 18:43
  Are those? Oh yeah, it's got to be.
• 18:44
  Oh absolutely, I'm sure they are coach of the year.
• 18:47
  Who would be the betting? Favorite for coach of the year?
• 18:51
  Well, do you does the is the coach of the year the coach that
• 18:55
  usually goes 15 and no. It's the under the radar team
• 18:59
  that makes the playoffs. So is Campbell going to be under
• 19:01
  the radar? No.
• 19:02
  No, he's not. Nope, he's not an example of a
• 19:05
  guy like that. OK, so who's going to be this is
• 19:07
  good. I mean, it's ridiculous because
• 19:09
  we're going to be miles away, but finding that under the radar
• 19:13
  team that's going to be better. All right, so let me to.
• 19:17
  It's not Tom and I, I think the Steelers are third at best.
• 19:26
  Sean McDermott. No, he's a cross off Kevin
• 19:29
  O'Connell. After last year's regular
• 19:32
  season, I don't think he can get there.
• 19:34
  Jim Harbaugh. What did they finish last?
• 19:37
  Year they finished with ten and seven, I think.
• 19:39
  And made the playoffs. And made the playoffs, so it'll
• 19:41
  be tough. 11:00 and 6:00 they finished.
• 19:43
  So it'll be tough to surpass that.
• 19:46
  So would you be looking for a non playoff team from last year?
• 19:49
  I think that's where you'd have to start.
• 19:51
  How about Mike Vrabel? Vrabel.
• 19:54
  Not bad, not bad. Drake May year #2.
• 19:58
  How about Zach Taylor back healthy?
• 20:01
  They get it going again. They win that tough division.
• 20:03
  Yeah, yeah. But for them, because we think
• 20:06
  they're going to be a solid team, they probably have to like
• 20:08
  race to a number one seed. It can't just be be a playoff
• 20:11
  team. They're going to win that
• 20:12
  division. But they weren't a playoff team
• 20:13
  last year. Right, but still.
• 20:16
  You do think of the Bengals with Joe Burrow and those receivers.
• 20:19
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kevin Stefanski's won it twice.
• 20:21
  No. Not this year, no.
• 20:23
  He gives a. Quarterback Gabriel Sanders.
• 20:27
  All right, I found it. Your betting favorite?
• 20:29
  This is from DraftKings. OK, hang on a second.
• 20:31
  Is is it a a playoff team from last year?
• 20:34
  No. It's not no Cardinals.
• 20:39
  You already said the name. I did.
• 20:42
  I already said the name. Who was it?
• 20:45
  Frabel. It's Mike Frabel.
• 20:47
  It's Frabel. I'll be down.
• 20:48
  He is Co favorites with your next Super Bowl winning coach
• 20:51
  Ben Johnson. Ben Johnson.
• 20:54
  Ben Johnson also. Going to say Sean Payton, but
• 20:56
  you beat me to the punch. Sean Payton is the 4th betting
• 20:58
  choice, 14 to one. Liam Cohen, your third choice.
• 21:03
  What did he do? What did he?
• 21:07
  Do 11 to one on Cohen, Matt Lafleur 18 to 1, De Canales 18
• 21:11
  to 1, Aaron Glenn 18 to 1, Pete Carroll 18 to 1, and then we go
• 21:15
  from there. Mike Vrabel and the New England
• 21:20
  Patriots? Well, to do so, they're going to
• 21:22
  have to leapfrog The Jets and the Dolphins.
• 21:24
  They should have no trouble surpassing The Jets.
• 21:29
  The Dolphins just kind of spin their wheels every year, don't
• 21:31
  they? They're like a 500.
• 21:33
  We're going to let you. You're going to draft 17th or
• 21:35
  18th every year. Andy Reid is the long shot.
• 21:39
  Him and Nick Serrani are they? Yeah.
• 21:42
  Sirianni is 100 to 1 and Andy Reid is 100 to.
• 21:44
  One, let me think about that. It's crazy.
• 21:46
  Because what would have to happen for Andy Reid?
• 21:48
  Unbeaten, That's it. And even that might not be you.
• 21:52
  Know. Think about that.
• 21:53
  Yeah, No, we're not going to give it to you.
• 21:55
  You've got Patrick Mahomes. It's unbeaten.
• 22:00
  I think it is. I think if you lose a football
• 22:01
  game, you're out of the running. All right, we'll take a time
• 22:05
  out. Fun stuff.
• 22:06
  Schedule is out. Just feels real, doesn't it?
• 22:09
  Does to me. Anyways, time to try and win

  Brains. Elliot Clough coming up first.
• 22:48
  Bill Seals will follow Miller and Condon or on the Iowa Sports
• 22:52
  Radio Network. Hi, Mary Condon, welcome back.
• 22:56
  I was Sports Radio Network Trenton, Ken with you until 2
• 23:00
  coming up. Bill Seals also works for Rivals
• 23:03
  cyclonereport.com. We'll get the bill in about, oh,
• 23:05
  10 minutes or so, but let's spend 10 minutes with a friend,
• 23:07
  Elliot Clough, hawkeyebeacon.com, part of the
• 23:11
  Rivals network. Elliot Trenton, Ken, thank you
• 23:13
  for coming on. How's things at
• 23:15
  hawkeyebeacon.com? What's keeping you busy?
• 23:19
  They're good guys, not quite as busy as probably the last few
• 23:23
  times we've talked. Obviously portal stuff has
• 23:25
  slowed down, but right now we're getting into the basketball
• 23:30
  recruiting coverage. I'm headed to Council Bluffs
• 23:32
  this weekend to watch 3 SSB Circuit, couple Iowa priorities
• 23:36
  out there. And of course, it's a live
• 23:38
  period, so I'm expecting a few members of Iowa staff to be out
• 23:41
  there checking, checking a few guys out as well.
• 23:43
  But yeah, we're kind of, we're kind of filling time right now,
• 23:47
  to be quite honest. We went through a series of
• 23:50
  three biggest frank and three biggest question marks from all
• 23:53
  three phases of Iowa football over this last weekend.
• 23:56
  And of course, filling the gaps with some football recruiting
• 23:59
  coverage too, as officials will be up here in about six weeks.
• 24:03
  So, well, I take that back five weeks, that's better.
• 24:06
  So we're filling in the gas and and make stuff happen.
• 24:08
  Yeah. So you mentioned that
• 24:10
  recruiting, you're going to be over in Council Bluffs watching
• 24:12
  some hoops. Are there any McCollum?
• 24:14
  Was there last night. He was in Omaha for the I Club
• 24:16
  event. Are there any prospects that we
• 24:18
  should be keeping an eye on? Any any names that you're going
• 24:21
  to be chasing while you're over there?
• 24:23
  Sure. Well, the first one is a guy
• 24:26
  that I actually mentioned last time we talked is Jaden Coon
• 24:28
  from from Storm Lake. He won't be there Friday.
• 24:31
  He's got a sister's graduation, but he will be there on Saturday
• 24:34
  and Sunday. The Saturday is usually the the
• 24:36
  big day with with more games. So he'll be there then with B1
• 24:39
  Minnesota, he's the top prospect in the state of Iowa.
• 24:43
  In my mind, a wing that that's got offers from from Iowa, from
• 24:47
  Iowa State, Illinois, Creighton, Nebraska, TCU and a few others
• 24:52
  has that relationship with with McCollum as they're both from
• 24:55
  Storm Lake and and McCollum and his staff offered him while at
• 24:57
  Drake. That's one air fan.
• 25:00
  Diane out of Iowa United Prep is not a kid that Iowa has offered
• 25:05
  at this point in time, but but Iowa United is making their
• 25:08
  debut on the three SSB circuit this weekend.
• 25:11
  He's got offers from Oregon, Houston, Florida.
• 25:14
  So some some really solid programs for him trying to think
• 25:18
  of of kids you would you guys would recommend Landon Davis out
• 25:21
  of walking northwest will be there with Iowa United as well.
• 25:24
  He's got an offer from the new Drake staff and you and I some
• 25:27
  preliminary interest from Iowa as well.
• 25:29
  Several others and a few few guys that are on the radar right
• 25:33
  now that could, could be could be Iowa offers down the road
• 25:36
  too. Ellie, I'm, I'm curious to know
• 25:38
  when you, when you talk to these, these high schoolers that
• 25:42
  obviously have been, you know, pitched for a while by different
• 25:44
  coaches, what's kind of the consensus you're getting when
• 25:47
  they, when they bring up Ben Mckellum and his staff?
• 25:50
  What are you hearing about, I guess his pitch and, and and how
• 25:55
  they're receiving it? So I would probably reference
• 25:59
  Colin Rice here, a guy that you guys, I would have assumed no
• 26:02
  from Waukee Northwest picked up several high major offers here
• 26:06
  lately with Nebraska Northwestern also offering the
• 26:09
  main thing that sticks out to me in those conversations and he's
• 26:13
  another guy that had an offer from Drake too.
• 26:15
  So he knows the staff is that these guys?
• 26:18
  I trust McCollum in a life. And that's that's kind of a
• 26:21
  common theme with the guys that have come from Drake as well as
• 26:25
  it's just I trust him and they trust him on and off the court.
• 26:28
  Like on the court, I trust him to put me in the best situation
• 26:32
  to develop me into the best player that I can possibly be.
• 26:34
  And off the court, it's the guy that that trusts or that earns
• 26:38
  their trust by way of showing that he cares about them, not
• 26:41
  just as basketball players. That that kind of seems the main
• 26:44
  sentiment and their main pitch to me.
• 26:46
  And it's another pitch that he's referenced before is that, you
• 26:50
  know, these other schools might act like they want you more, but
• 26:53
  we'll get the best out of you. And that seems to ring true.
• 26:56
  And, you know, I haven't talked to a lot of the the recent
• 26:59
  offerees just because they've been so focused on the portal.
• 27:02
  And I think Colin Rice and then there's another one from Kansas,
• 27:06
  Ethan Taylor are are two of the other 2020 sixes that are new,
• 27:10
  but I haven't been able to connect with Taylor yet.
• 27:12
  And I'll be talking to Jayden Kuhn this weekend.
• 27:15
  But it's really just that trust and and that developmental
• 27:18
  aspect. I mean, like we've seen it,
• 27:20
  right? Bennett Sturt going from D2
• 27:22
  second team all conference now it's an honorable mention All
• 27:25
  American MVC player of the year, like he has it tangibly.
• 27:30
  And now I think that Rep is only just going to continue to grow
• 27:34
  as he does it at the high major level.
• 27:37
  And if there's anything that, you know, there aren't a lot of
• 27:39
  guarantees when you bring in a new staff.
• 27:41
  But given his track record of development, I, I, I, I would
• 27:44
  say that's probably the closest thing to a guarantee you're
• 27:46
  going to get. Two guys that they brought in on
• 27:49
  visits, he's a gift for the kid from High Point, led the team in
• 27:51
  scoring for an NCAA tournament team and then also Ashton
• 27:54
  Williamson from Florida International.
• 27:56
  I don't believe either those guys have committed anywhere
• 27:59
  yet. We're talking about something
• 28:00
  that happened weeks ago as I will move down from those.
• 28:04
  No, not, not that I'm aware of right now.
• 28:07
  Iowa appears to just be in a situation where they're playing
• 28:11
  it incredibly patiently because there are still a good enough
• 28:16
  amount of players in the portal and they're not desperate.
• 28:19
  But that's, that's just not Mccollum's MO.
• 28:21
  Of course they're they've got some really good players on
• 28:24
  their roster and that puts them in a really solid position.
• 28:27
  I mean, I wrote a couple days, I don't know if you guys saw it,
• 28:29
  but I wrote a couple days ago about how I expect their patient
• 28:33
  to kind of shake out, who's going to start, who's going to
• 28:34
  come off the bench, who's going to possibly red shirt this year.
• 28:38
  And they're in a pretty solid spot right now with 11 guys.
• 28:41
  Of course, you don't want to trot out your roster with only
• 28:44
  eleven guys. So they're really paying it,
• 28:46
  playing it patiently, seeing how things transpire.
• 28:49
  And I mean, you guys know it's a different game now, agents
• 28:53
  involved, wanting more money like it.
• 28:55
  It's just it's just not as cut and dry maybe as it used to be,
• 28:59
  and that's making things difficult on both parties.
• 29:02
  Iowa is still in a spot where they need to add some guys, but
• 29:05
  some stuff just not lining up right now.
• 29:07
  And I think they've got that. You know, they're in a solid
• 29:10
  position to add either one of those guys if things transpired
• 29:13
  certain ways. But right now it's just not set
• 29:16
  up to click quite yet. I want to go back, probably.
• 29:20
  I've got to be almost a month now.
• 29:22
  Maybe not quite, but we never really got into Hecklinski, I
• 29:26
  think is how you say his name, the quarterback transfer from
• 29:29
  Wake Forest. As we've switched to football
• 29:31
  here, what can you tell us about Jeremy Heklinski, who will join
• 29:35
  the quarterback room at the University of Iowa with, I seem
• 29:38
  recall, four years of eligibility still left?
• 29:41
  Oh yeah, really nice ad in my opinion.
• 29:44
  Just a guy that has that connection with Warren Ruggiero
• 29:47
  that cited that for a big reason for his decision to to come to
• 29:51
  Iowa. It's really important for the
• 29:53
  sake of death. I mean, we've seen what has
• 29:55
  happened to that quarterback room the last few years with
• 29:59
  with injuries. And I was in a position where
• 30:03
  they're not going to have to rely on a Deacon Hill.
• 30:05
  And I think that's probably the biggest thing in the immediate
• 30:09
  when you bring in a guy like Hecklinski, because you've got,
• 30:12
  obviously you've got Granowski who has had a couple major
• 30:15
  injuries at the ACL and the shoulder that he's had surgeries
• 30:19
  on. Course, you know, knock on wood,
• 30:21
  he stays healthy season. But then you've got Hank Brown,
• 30:23
  Then you've got then you've got Oh my, Jackson Stratton almost
• 30:28
  forgot his name for a second, Jackson Stratton.
• 30:30
  And then you've got Hecklinsky. And then you've got Jimmy
• 30:34
  Sullivan, a true freshman. And then you've got Ryan
• 30:36
  Fitzgerald, who's coming in as a walk on.
• 30:38
  So you have the the quarterback room is just so much more deep
• 30:41
  than it was the last however many years.
• 30:44
  So that's probably the biggest thing in the immediate in the
• 30:47
  long term. This is a guy that you turn on
• 30:51
  his film and I think his first like 5 to 10 plays from his
• 30:55
  senior year on his huddle are just 50 yard bomb to the end
• 30:59
  zone. He's a little bit smaller,
• 31:01
  didn't have a ton of Power 5 offers.
• 31:03
  I think it was just Wake Forest in North Carolina, if I'm
• 31:06
  remembering correctly. Excuse me, Central Florida in
• 31:09
  there as well. So I, I think it's, it's more of
• 31:12
  a long play. It's, it's one of those things
• 31:14
  where if you throw 5 darts at a board, then one of them is bound
• 31:18
  to hit right. Because you'll have him, you'll
• 31:20
  have after this coming year, you'll have him, you'll have
• 31:23
  Hank Brown, you'll have Jimmy Sullivan and you'll have cash
• 31:25
  Herrera, who will all at least have two plus years of
• 31:29
  eligibility left. So in, in the long term, it's
• 31:32
  one of these guys are bound to hit right.
• 31:34
  So I I think that's the play right now.
• 31:37
  And Hecklinsky I think is good at it's a guy that's been in
• 31:40
  college football for a year and a half, which is more than Jimmy
• 31:44
  Sullivan. So just a just a nice depth
• 31:46
  depth piece right now. Your place, James Rees are on
• 31:49
  the depth chart. Who is in the portal?
• 31:51
  Yeah. And and he's got history of
• 31:52
  Warren Ruggiero. That that, that definitely
• 31:54
  doesn't hurt. And we'll see if the slow mesh
• 31:56
  comes along with Ruggiero, if Lester's going to implement any
• 31:59
  of that into the offense. Last thing for you, it's a
• 32:02
  defensive question. It's about the young guys.
• 32:04
  We know the veterans that have stuck around here can locally,
• 32:07
  Jaden Harrell from Urbandale, he's been there for a long time.
• 32:10
  But the linebacker group with Cam Buffington, Preston Reese,
• 32:13
  Derek Weiskopf, we heard so much about those three guys, all red
• 32:16
  shirted a year ago. Of the three, who's the most
• 32:19
  realistic to play a bunch of defensive that's special teams,
• 32:23
  play a bunch defensively at linebacker this year.
• 32:25
  Of those 3 red shirt freshmen. That is a really, really good
• 32:29
  question, if I if I had to bet. So I'll tell you why.
• 32:33
  It's tough quick. It's tough because Harold Shiner
• 32:37
  and and Rex Roth have all waited their turn, right.
• 32:40
  Dyer is probably the one we've heard the most about Jackson
• 32:44
  praised him pretty highly and and I think it was just spring,
• 32:48
  either that or it was right around the bowl game saying that
• 32:50
  he might be the most like athletically gifted or, or
• 32:53
  talented guy in the room. And that was with Jay Higgins.
• 32:55
  That was with Nick Jackson. So I think that will spot as
• 32:59
  long as Shire stays healthy, that will spot probably locked
• 33:02
  up. Then you go to the mic with
• 33:03
  Jaden Harrell, who has again been waiting his turn.
• 33:06
  And I, you know, expecting him to be Jack Campbell or Jay Jay
• 33:10
  Higgins just isn't fair, right? I mean, that's, that's just,
• 33:13
  that's just not fair. At the same time, that Mike Spot
• 33:17
  is really important. And with that said, I've heard a
• 33:21
  lot of good things about Cam Buffington.
• 33:23
  So you take that Mike spot, who is effectively the quarterback
• 33:26
  of the defense. And do you split time with a guy
• 33:29
  who's been around for a while and a young guy who's still
• 33:31
  figuring things out but is super talented?
• 33:34
  That's the tough part to me. Then you look at Leo with
• 33:38
  Jackson, Rex Roth, who was just put on scholarship.
• 33:41
  We saw some of his limitations of the bowl game, particularly
• 33:43
  in past coverage. And you look at a guy like Derek
• 33:46
  Weiskopf, who was probably one of the better athletes to come
• 33:49
  out of the state of Iowa in the last five to 10 years.
• 33:53
  State or state champion in high jump, took his team to high
• 33:57
  school state basketball, won a state title as a quarterback and
• 34:00
  safety combo for for Williamsburg.
• 34:03
  And do you plug him in? It's just but then you talk
• 34:07
  about Jaden Montgomery and Landon van Kiekerk to the staff
• 34:10
  both like too that it's it's there's there's a lot of talent
• 34:13
  in that group, but a lot of it is based on potential right now
• 34:16
  just because we haven't seen a lot of them.
• 34:19
  So with all of that said, I guess I got to go.
• 34:22
  Cam Buffington. I've heard a lot.
• 34:26
  I mean, you just see it when he puts the pads on.
• 34:28
  It's just a different level of athlete.
• 34:30
  But then again, you know, I mentioned all the accolades for
• 34:33
  Weiskopf. I heard from a source probably a
• 34:37
  couple weeks ago during during spring ball that Preston Reese,
• 34:40
  he might not look like he knows what he's doing out there.
• 34:43
  And maybe he doesn't fully at this point because it takes a
• 34:46
  little while to learn Iowa's defense, but he just makes them
• 34:49
  wow. So I think, I really think
• 34:51
  between Reef and and Weiskopf, depending on who is getting the
• 34:55
  most snaps at Leo, they could split that time with Rex Roth.
• 34:57
  But how often are they going to be in that traditional 43
• 35:00
  package? We know they like to have that
• 35:01
  cash out there for the 425. And then like I mentioned with
• 35:05
  Harold, it's a long winded answer for me to take
• 35:08
  Buffington, But I I do think it's probably, probably
• 35:11
  Buffington. Those veterans better be have
• 35:14
  their chin straps buckled up is how I listen to your answer
• 35:16
  there. Good stuff Elliot, thanks for
• 35:18
  doing this. Appreciate, appreciate it, my
• 35:19
  friend. We will talk to you down the
• 35:21
  road. Thank you Ellie Cluff.
• 35:23
  Sounds good guys. Thanks.
• 35:24
  Yeah, good to talk to you, hawkeyebeacon.com. 3 linebackers
• 35:27
  within like a 60 mile triangle of each other, is that right?
• 35:30
  They're all from close by to Monticello.
• 35:32
  Yeah. Winfield, Mount Union.
• 35:34
  And what was the 3rd 10 Williamsburg for?
• 35:37
  For Weiskopf. I mean, three kids, three small,
• 35:40
  all linebackers, all in the same class Weird.
• 35:43
  I'll go into Iowa and all may have an impact before it's all
• 35:45
  said and done. We'll take a time out.
• 35:47
  Bill Seals joins us next. Miller and Condon, Iowa Sports
• 35:49
  Radio Network. I'm Miller.
• 35:51
  Condon. Welcome back.
• 35:52
  Iowa Sports Radio Network. Let's get right to Bill Seals
• 35:56
  limited amount of time with Bill.
• 35:57
  Bill, we owe you next time. Appreciate you coming on talk a
• 36:00
  little live with state with us. I guess what I want to start
• 36:02
  with you was the news that came out yesterday, day before
• 36:05
  yesterday. The clones are headed to
• 36:08
  Sanford. Back to the Pentagon they will
• 36:10
  go and Mississippi State's going to be the opponent.
• 36:13
  So pretty good game. I like the fact, and I know that
• 36:17
  number of the national basketball meeting jumping on
• 36:20
  this as well. Appreciative TJ willing to put
• 36:23
  this game on the schedule. Pretty cool venue and pretty
• 36:26
  good test early in the season. Bill Seals.
• 36:29
  Yeah, I think so. Going back there first time
• 36:32
  since the 2015 Sixteen season. Has it been that long?
• 36:35
  Colorado, Colorado back then it was a season opener, yeah.
• 36:39
  So get to go back there and another I think it will be end
• 36:43
  up being another resume type of game.
• 36:45
  And in in the month of November, they're going to get a lot of
• 36:48
  good games out in in Vegas as well.
• 36:51
  So and then always the Big 12. So I would imagine by the time
• 36:55
  all said and done next season, that strength of schedules going
• 36:59
  to be. Going to be in good shape.
• 37:01
  We'll see those buy games. Let's let's not have all of them
• 37:04
  be in the three hundreds, maybe a couple of, you know, 150 to
• 37:06
  200 type for ages and be Vegas. Tournament, though, that's.
• 37:09
  Good. That's absolutely going to go a
• 37:11
  long, long ways. Is is the format of that thing
• 37:14
  figured out what they're doing? Because I know there's been some
• 37:17
  different talks. There's more than 16 teams
• 37:19
  involved, exactly what the format in Vegas is going to look
• 37:21
  like. I haven't seen anything about it
• 37:25
  really other than just the the the pool of teams is going to be
• 37:28
  pretty loaded. So yeah, I mean, it's it's going
• 37:32
  to be another great opportunity for him out there.
• 37:35
  I think it's three or four games that they'll get to play that
• 37:39
  week of of Thanksgiving, so going to be going to be a good
• 37:43
  opportunity. Yeah.
• 37:44
  And you know what, I think it's going to be pretty popular,
• 37:46
  right? A the football teams going to
• 37:48
  Dublin, the basketball team is going to spend Thanksgiving
• 37:50
  weekend in Las Vegas. Should they get the should they
• 37:54
  have a successful football season?
• 37:56
  There's that trip to the Big 12 championship and who knows?
• 37:59
  And the word came out today, you know, from the College Football
• 38:02
  Playoff and they were close last year.
• 38:04
  So the reason I bring it up is the fact that this it looks like
• 38:07
  the seating is just going to be, you know, we're going to go one
• 38:10
  through 12 conference championship does not get the
• 38:12
  automatic buy. So on the surface, Bill, that
• 38:15
  seems like a win for college football fans, right?
• 38:18
  Yeah, yeah, I think so. I it's, yeah.
• 38:22
  I mean, it's going to be a competitive Rd.
• 38:25
  I I think for, for Iowa State's going to have to get through the
• 38:30
  Big 12 first. Not easy.
• 38:32
  A huge test there. You got to get our Arizona State
• 38:36
  early in in that season. So a chance to get back at them.
• 38:40
  But yeah, it's always going to be a tough Rd.
• 38:42
  I think they get back down to Dallas and and let the chips
• 38:45
  fall where they may from there. You ahead article last last week
• 38:49
  up at cyclonereport.com talking about the portal editions on the
• 38:53
  football front, their impact for next year.
• 38:55
  No surprise so well and towns in the two wide receivers are at
• 38:58
  the top of the list. But #3 on the list might be the
• 39:01
  most intriguing guy Von Troy Malone from Tulsa, a guy off the
• 39:05
  edge. They brought in the kit a year
• 39:07
  ago from Louisiana. This is going to be their edge
• 39:08
  rusher. It didn't click.
• 39:10
  What about Malone makes you believe that he can click, that
• 39:13
  he can step in right away and and be an impactful player
• 39:16
  coming off the edge? Well, one thing that I liked
• 39:18
  right away about Malone is he's he's got the size.
• 39:22
  I think that that what Kennard Snyder, gosh, he you, you met
• 39:26
  him in person and he's about as tall as I am, which is about 6
• 39:30
  foot 6 foot 1. So I think from and he was a
• 39:34
  converted linebacker to that he had been playing before making
• 39:38
  that switch at ullm is last year.
• 39:40
  But with Malone 63240, I think he's got a a lot more size that
• 39:46
  they're looking for to play. And you know, frankly, Iowa
• 39:48
  State, it's been a struggle since Will McDonald graduated,
• 39:54
  moved on, became a New York jet to to find somebody.
• 39:57
  You know, he's I think the tide for the all time lead in sacks.
• 40:01
  So yeah, they're looking for someone out there at that Leo
• 40:04
  position. I think Malone brings it to he
• 40:07
  was involved, he was involved in in spring ball.
• 40:11
  So he's already kind of got a leg up I think on Tomatoa
• 40:14
  McDonough, the Yale transfer. So yeah, they.
• 40:17
  Like what they see in Malone? Good stuff, Bill Seals, we owe
• 40:20
  you a longer segment next time. Thank you for doing this hour to
• 40:23
  Coming up next, Miller and Condon.
