  our Lee Sterling piece, a busy second hour of the show.
• 1:22
  We'll start by taking a look at the Green Bay Packers with our
• 1:26
  buddy Dave Sinican. He'll join us to kick off our
• 1:29
  number 2. The Packers, of course, pretty
• 1:31
  big one is they'll host the Vikings this weekend.
• 1:34
  We'll talk Packers, Vikings with Dave and then Stephen M Sipple
• 1:37
  will join us at 1:15. The latest on Nebraska.
• 1:41
  What do you make of Rayola's kid brother decommitting?
• 1:45
  Is that that's the story? And over there, it's a big
• 1:48
  story. Oh, absolutely.
• 1:50
  I don't know. I don't know what to make.
• 1:51
  We'll talk to Sip about that. Out the door.
• 1:53
  Out the door. He's gone out the the family's
• 1:55
  gone. I wonder his older brother going
• 1:58
  to come back. We'll see.
• 2:00
  So sip 115. They'll head to Penn State for
• 2:02
  obviously a week from tomorrow, hosting the Hawks, the Black
• 2:05
  Friday game, 11:00 kick in Lincoln and then Cappy who
• 2:09
  couldn't join us yesterday. David Kaplan will join us about
• 2:12
  1:35. We'll get 10 minutes or so with
• 2:15
  Cap to talk Bears and couple of Cubs things with Cappy.
• 2:18
  He'll join us today at 1:35. Trents plays the day before.
• 2:21
  We get out of here at 2:00. Good to see you.
• 2:24
  How are you? Doing well, got a lot going on
• 2:27
  basketball. Women's basketball kind of comes
• 2:29
  to the forefront. Tonight we got Drake hosting
• 2:32
  Iowa State as the women do it the way that it should be.
• 2:35
  I'm all for it, but as. It's not going to change on the
• 2:38
  men's side. We know that.
• 2:40
  And then after that 6:00 tip off for that one, Iowa gets their
• 2:44
  first Test of the year against Baylor.
• 2:45
  ESPN 2 with the coverage of that.
• 2:47
  ESPN 2 has the game. On the Deuce, so that'll be from
• 2:51
  down in Florida. Yeah, looking forward to seeing
• 2:54
  this. What?
• 2:54
  Time is that. Game eight, o'clock 8:00 So 6
• 2:57
  for the Doggies and the clones, and then 8:00 for the Hawkeyes
• 3:00
  and the Bears. And woman's basketball going to
• 3:03
  kind of bully their way into the Because we haven't talked a ton
• 3:07
  here in the early season, no. We both think that Fenley Scott
• 3:10
  may be one of his better teams. Obviously we both think that
• 3:14
  both Cyhawk games are going to be very entertaining.
• 3:17
  How is Mccollum's team going to match up against T JS team?
• 3:21
  We'll get a severe test next week and they got one in between
• 3:24
  the side Hawk game as they play a little squad called Purdue,
• 3:27
  which is going to be fascinating over at Mackey.
• 3:30
  So yeah, we will get into women's college hoops,
• 3:33
  absolutely will, because obviously Audie Crooks is
• 3:37
  something to behold. Man, she is unbelievable.
• 3:40
  So we get into football and we got the NFL returning tonight.
• 3:44
  Of course, Thanksgiving on the precipice now a week away from
• 3:47
  the best day. Can you imagine smells around
• 3:51
  the country about this time? What in the kitchen or wafting
• 3:54
  into the living room of homes across the Oh, it's going to
• 3:58
  smell. So I can smell it as we sit here
• 4:00
  right now. So do you not eat your
• 4:01
  Thanksgiving until 10:00? Same thing for Thanksgiving.
• 4:04
  Same thing for Thanksgiving, Yeah.
• 4:06
  Does your wife how does she deal with you?
• 4:08
  She. Just gave up.
• 4:10
  She's not going to win. Cindy is one of the sweetest
• 4:12
  people. In the world, she's picks her.
• 4:14
  She picks her battles. And and still, even for
• 4:17
  Thanksgiving. Yep, Thanksgiving not going to
• 4:19
  happen until 10:00. You know what?
• 4:21
  Part of it is I shouldn't say this.
• 4:26
  I don't want to ruin a good buzz, all right?
• 4:28
  Yeah, You know what I mean? Because as soon as you eat, it's
• 4:30
  over. You know you're getting a little
• 4:32
  getting a. Little I don't.
• 4:33
  You have up for me that's I just don't want to do that.
• 4:37
  Don't want to do it. Even for Thanksgiving.
• 4:39
  Yeah, so. So you're nibbling.
• 4:40
  Throughout the day a little bit, I mean that ham and we're going
• 4:44
  to talk to our buddy Bruce coming up here in 15 minutes.
• 4:47
  We've been talking about these hams.
• 4:48
  I'm telling you it will make your Thanksgiving dinner and the
• 4:51
  deadlines coming in order to get it.
• 4:53
  So we thought, you know what, in order for instead of Trent and I
• 4:55
  trying to regurgitate what you want us to say, just come on.
• 4:59
  Yes, let's hear it straight from the horse's mouth.
• 5:01
  So Bruce going to join us here in about 15 minutes to do that.
• 5:06
  But yeah, so I pick at that because it comes in box with
• 5:09
  shrink wrapped and it's already, it's cooked.
• 5:11
  It's cooked. Yeah, you just so peel it off.
• 5:13
  The it's not like a Turkey where you're no throughout the day and
• 5:16
  you're bringing out your basting so.
• 5:17
  Do you do the Turkey we. Have.
• 5:20
  Yeah. Do you use a bag?
• 5:22
  No. Oh, change your life.
• 5:24
  Yeah. Oh my God.
• 5:25
  It's the only way to do it. But.
• 5:26
  It's it's been rare, I think only a couple of times.
• 5:28
  See I. I don't even, we don't even do a
• 5:30
  Turkey anymore. We used to do both, you know,
• 5:32
  because, well, it's, it's Thanksgiving out of a Turkey.
• 5:35
  Yeah, but it wants the turkeys, everybody eating ham.
• 5:38
  And then last year we did one of those in the crock pot.
• 5:41
  One of those, Yeah. Like a breast white.
• 5:43
  Breast. Yeah, yeah.
• 5:44
  And nobody ate it. Oh, really?
• 5:45
  Yeah. So why bother?
• 5:47
  Just stick with the ham. So yeah.
• 5:50
  And then because everybody eats, probably, probably get it ready
• 5:52
  because I do the cooking. I do everything.
• 5:55
  I chop the celery and the onions for the stuffing.
• 5:57
  And my wife makes the corn. She's got some special corn
• 6:00
  there. Mom Pat is really good.
• 6:02
  So she does that. I do the potato and then
• 6:05
  everybody eats and I watch them eat and I watch football and
• 6:09
  good day. It's a great day.
• 6:10
  It's my favorite day of the year.
• 6:12
  But we got some football before that.
• 6:13
  Yes, we do, including tonight and there's no CJ Stroud is out.
• 6:18
  That has to be the reason for the point spread going nuts.
• 6:20
  It jumped from I think it was 3 and all of a sudden today it's 5
• 6:23
  1/2 and probably would probably reflected that yesterday when
• 6:26
  the official came out that he is out.
• 6:28
  And there's been a little bit of buyback today on the Texans
• 6:30
  because it was 6/6 and a half. Oh, was it really?
• 6:32
  A couple of spots and it's back in the 5 1/2 range.
• 6:35
  I have many spots here today. So shop around regardless of
• 6:38
  what side you're going to be on for that one this evening.
• 6:41
  But thinking forward to Iowa and Iowa State this week, both teams
• 6:45
  disappointing from different spots they've been throughout
• 6:48
  the course. Of the year, well, Iowa State
• 6:49
  was 5 and O right And Iowa, this was going to be a really good
• 6:52
  chance for them to find a way to the College Football Playoff.
• 6:55
  And until last week, it was still possible.
• 6:57
  And now that's off the board. Both are both eligible.
• 7:01
  Yep. Both are 6 and 4.
• 7:02
  Yep. What do you want to see?
• 7:04
  Let's start with Iowa State, what you're looking for, cuz we
• 7:07
  know you're gonna be locked and loaded.
• 7:09
  Mm hmm. You're 11 o'clock 11:00.
• 7:11
  Right there. And aren't both of them on the
• 7:13
  same network? Aren't they both at 219?
• 7:17
  Yes. So perfect.
• 7:19
  Yeah, Yep. So.
• 7:22
  So what do I want to see from Iowa State?
• 7:24
  You know, is it, is it Rocco? Yes, I was just.
• 7:26
  He took the words right out of my mouth.
• 7:27
  It's Rocco. Yeah.
• 7:28
  On the exact same thing that is a #1.
• 7:32
  Had their buy. You would think healthier.
• 7:35
  Hope so. He's been banked up.
• 7:36
  Yep, has. To Since that hit against
• 7:37
  Cincinnati, he has not looked like the same guy.
• 7:39
  Right. Is it that little healthier?
• 7:42
  He's good to go. Yep.
• 7:44
  Want to see if there's more that they can get in the ground game,
• 7:47
  you know, if there's still another tier that they could get
• 7:49
  to and give you a little bit of hope going forward of what
• 7:52
  they're going to be able to do on that front.
• 7:54
  And then some of these young names on the defensive side, I
• 7:56
  mean, they're, they're so banked up, obviously, but some of those
• 8:00
  young safeties that are starting to pop seeing those guys.
• 8:03
  And if Dom Orange has to be has to leave the field for an
• 8:06
  injury, do what? Do the right thing by him, don't
• 8:11
  make the decision for him. The last time, yeah.
• 8:13
  Sit down, sit down. You've gone through senior day.
• 8:16
  Yep. He's a second round pick at
• 8:17
  worst. Starting to see some first round
• 8:20
  grades on him So, but he just wants to play.
• 8:22
  I get it. I mean, he loves his team.
• 8:24
  Obviously state at Iowa State had options to leave.
• 8:27
  So I want to see Rocco. I want to see some of the
• 8:29
  receivers get involved. Not the tight ends, the
• 8:31
  receivers. Yeah, You know, maybe they're a
• 8:33
  bigger part of it when it comes to Iowa.
• 8:37
  I want to see how they bounce back after the two disappointing
• 8:40
  losses because they had their season goal, I think, taken away
• 8:46
  from them. Fair to say.
• 8:48
  I mean, they didn't go into the scene I got to make a bowl game.
• 8:50
  No, you're going to make the playoffs.
• 8:51
  And they had a team that did that had the ability to do so.
• 8:54
  We thought. We thought both teams did.
• 8:55
  But I was taken to win the Big 12 and they started out five and
• 8:58
  over on that path. Yeah, Gronowski, maybe not throw
• 9:03
  balls into the ground or Guy's ankles.
• 9:06
  Get the wide receivers involved again.
• 9:07
  You mentioned Gil. You know, we talked about that
• 9:09
  one pass, one pass, had to play up the sideline.
• 9:11
  Didn't see him again outside of a ball bouncing off his deep for
• 9:13
  an interception. Yeah, really.
• 9:14
  But the wide receivers in general, we're seeing Phillips.
• 9:17
  Where is he? You know, we're seeing Phillips.
• 9:19
  Dayton Howard's playing a lot more and the last two weeks
• 9:23
  Howard, you would guess Howard compared to all right, 6/4 as
• 9:26
  opposed to 57. Well, Phillips doesn't make that
• 9:29
  catch at the back of the end zone, right?
• 9:30
  He doesn't. And two rainy games.
• 9:32
  All right, we're going to go with the guy that blocks a
• 9:34
  bigger, bigger body guy. That makes sense.
• 9:37
  You know a game, you know a name on on Iowa, and I'm not sure we
• 9:40
  talked about him on on Monday that's starting to pop more and
• 9:43
  more is von Amy. Von Amy.
• 9:45
  Yeah, he's good. He is good, isn't it?
• 9:47
  I think they have something there.
• 9:49
  And Kirk was asked about him Tuesday.
• 9:50
  So was he. You know, they knew he's
• 9:52
  athletic. He's kind of their prototype,
• 9:54
  like quarterback to Kemper, Super athletic kid.
• 9:58
  They looked at him kind of like they saw it on Hawkinson.
• 10:00
  Did he walk? On or was he a he was a walk on,
• 10:02
  though, is he So he's different than a Hawkinson or but some of
• 10:05
  those guys in the past that had the physical skill set that says
• 10:09
  I think this could translate. But he said the biggest thing
• 10:11
  with all those guys, can they block?
• 10:14
  And he's still got a ways to go on that front.
• 10:16
  But as a pass catcher, as an athlete, that's going.
• 10:18
  Thomas Meyer, the freshman from Clear Lake, he played three
• 10:21
  snaps in the game against USC over the weekend.
• 10:24
  So he's starting to come along. They get the Brewer kid from
• 10:26
  down that everybody thought was going to Miami, and now he's
• 10:30
  going to be a Hawkeye next year as he reclassified and he's
• 10:32
  going to be in Iowa City. So that Titan positions in a bit
• 10:35
  of a lull. It has made.
• 10:37
  And now you kind of look and you look at the future.
• 10:39
  Do you feel like all right, They're pretty good shape there.
• 10:41
  Cupboards getting restocked? Absolutely.
• 10:44
  I'm with you, Gronowski, and this is the game for it.
• 10:46
  Weather's going to be good. I mean 56° in.
• 10:48
  Front of the Kinnock fan. Base, can they get past 21
• 10:52
  straight games without a 200 yard?
• 10:54
  Not a 300 yard passer, which is like what in the 70s or 80
• 10:56
  amount of games, 200 yard passer.
• 10:58
  You got to go back to the opener last year against Illinois State
• 11:01
  when McNamara did it. That's how long it's been.
• 11:03
  Get past that mark, you're going to be able, they should be able
• 11:06
  to do whatever they want offensively.
• 11:08
  There's 16 and a half, 17 point favorite Saturday.
• 11:12
  The Iowa Hawkeye, right? And what we've seen against
• 11:14
  teams that they're decidedly better, they've been bullies
• 11:17
  this year. They have been bullies in these
• 11:19
  games. Wisconsin, Minnesota.
• 11:22
  This should be another one where you do that.
• 11:24
  Get Bolton his 100 yards going. No, no we Jack has his first
• 11:28
  wrestling tournament Saturday. And your kids do everything.
• 11:33
  Got to get involved, got to get involved.
• 11:35
  Nobody can say that you and Tara didn't do that, or do it at all.
• 11:39
  And. Jack had his first wrestling
• 11:40
  practice last night and rolling around and now he's going to
• 11:43
  have his first started like it he does.
• 11:45
  I was surprised. Does he really?
• 11:46
  Yeah. You know, we never ever did that
• 11:49
  in school. No.
• 11:50
  Yeah, never. No wrestling.
• 11:51
  No wrestling. Well, I grew up in Osage, yeah.
• 11:53
  Everybody. Well, not even.
• 11:55
  Starts in kindergarten. You are in it.
• 11:56
  But, and I'm sure it's in PE classes, there was, you know,
• 12:00
  period of the year that the wrestling was on the curriculum.
• 12:04
  Not it wasn't for us. No, no, here's the floor hockey
• 12:07
  sticks. You guys go go crazy.
• 12:09
  No ice, but we got the floor for you like.
• 12:10
  Playing the gym? Here's the Nets and where you
• 12:12
  go. So I got 2 Michigan State
• 12:15
  things. I had my crossover edition of
• 12:19
  Locked on Hawkeyes with our Locked On Spartans guy that we
• 12:21
  do weekly, Matt Sheen, who's a really fun guy, and we probably
• 12:24
  would have had on this week, but Michigan State's stuck.
• 12:26
  And we had Matt. Rudy and we talked to Matt.
• 12:28
  Rudy really like Matt. He's one of my favorite people
• 12:31
  though, to do these crossover editions, and he brought up two
• 12:34
  things I thought were really interesting.
• 12:36
  First, I gave him the theory that we've talked about before.
• 12:39
  There hasn't been a vote of confidence for Jonathan Smith,
• 12:43
  and I lead out my theory that I've told you before.
• 12:47
  He knows he's going to Oregon State.
• 12:48
  He knows that he's pulling the offer, he's getting out before
• 12:51
  the firing. He's going back home, he's going
• 12:53
  back to program he was at and he was a player for.
• 12:57
  It just makes too much sense, doesn't it?
• 12:59
  Yeah, they fired. Didn't they just fire their AD
• 13:02
  as well? They fired their coach and then
• 13:03
  like a week later they fired the ADI.
• 13:06
  Think it makes too much sense? Well, why give a vote of
• 13:08
  confidence? Yeah, I think the wheels are
• 13:10
  emotional. Sure.
• 13:11
  It's just a theory. No, I agree, but apparently.
• 13:14
  Hadn't been making the rounds very much because he put a
• 13:16
  little clip of that up and the Michigan State fans are like,
• 13:18
  oh, I like this, I like this. I think they're hopeful more
• 13:21
  than anything. Just caught them off guard.
• 13:22
  I can't did and I was surprised because they not exact a record.
• 13:26
  I'm not the smartest guy in the world.
• 13:28
  Well, they they said they're hopeful that this happens
• 13:31
  because, well, we got lucky with Mel Tucker.
• 13:33
  We didn't have to pay the buyout with Mel Tucker.
• 13:35
  And can we get lucky 2 coaches in a row that we don't have to
• 13:38
  pay a they? Started 3 and O They've lost
• 13:40
  their next seven games. They're winless in the
• 13:42
  conference. Seven in a row for this team,
• 13:44
  with Aiden Childs, with Nick Marsh.
• 13:47
  That offensive line is awful. Is that what it is?
• 13:50
  I think I saw the number. They have given up the most
• 13:53
  sacks in the Big 10 and it was like 84 tackles for loss this
• 13:56
  year. But it's unthinkable. 84
• 13:59
  tackles. You know, when I'm just looking
• 14:01
  at right now the schedule now, they didn't play Ohio State, but
• 14:04
  they played everybody else, USC, Nebraska, Indiana, UCLA,
• 14:09
  Michigan, Minnesota, Penn State and they get the Hawks this week
• 14:14
  before a breather against Maryland.
• 14:16
  So other than, other than Ohio State, they they played the,
• 14:20
  the, the upper echelon of the Big 10.
• 14:22
  But here's the other part of it that he brought up.
• 14:25
  And I think so. Is there a name that's starting?
• 14:27
  To get no, no, no, nothing there, no, this is back.
• 14:30
  Just a a question he posed with it being Iowa, Michigan State
• 14:33
  week. I thought it was incredibly
• 14:35
  intriguing. Got Kirk Ference 7 years old.
• 14:37
  You know you got Tom Izzo 7 years old.
• 14:40
  Which one of those 70 year olds walks away first?
• 14:43
  Oh boy. Because I was wrecking.
• 14:46
  I I've given up on parents and I don't want them to leave.
• 14:49
  I don't want people to think that I just don't know.
• 14:51
  Yeah, I mean, it's all speculation and that's all this
• 14:54
  is. Again, don't go running to your
• 14:57
  social media and your message boards and say no, no, no.
• 14:59
  This is a conversation. This is what happens.
• 15:01
  You talk about things so. Tuesday night watching the
• 15:05
  Champions Classic. We got together yesterday
• 15:08
  morning and I was really impressed by Michigan State.
• 15:11
  Now they shot the ball well. You're going to look at it when
• 15:13
  you shoot it well. Right, but Izzo teams aren't
• 15:15
  peaking in November. Yes, absolutely.
• 15:19
  I I think this team is really good squad.
• 15:21
  He's got a great recruiting class apparently coming in next.
• 15:24
  Year, but you know what Rudy told us that, so he's not
• 15:26
  leaving after this year. I thought if they go a long way,
• 15:28
  maybe a final four, this might be a time for him to.
• 15:31
  Well, here's the other part. Great recruiting class.
• 15:33
  Mm. Hmm, Pierce is probably going to
• 15:35
  be back next year for them. He's just a sophomore.
• 15:37
  So because of your love for the school, do you leave that
• 15:39
  behind? Is that what you're saying?
• 15:40
  No, the Final Four in 2027. Where is it is in Detroit?
• 15:45
  Oh boy, that's it. Yeah, that's it.
• 15:47
  The Final Four is in Detroit. Is it really?
• 15:50
  So in Detroit, I mean, you talk about everything culminating
• 15:53
  together that's it's almost too perfect, right it?
• 15:56
  Is. Take them back one final time to
• 15:58
  a Final four, even if it doesn't have any championship, still
• 16:01
  doing that you. Know what?
• 16:02
  Play Iowa State in the Elite 8 and get the right calls this
• 16:06
  time and let the Hawks knock Gizzle out.
• 16:08
  Are the clothes rather knock Gizzle out?
• 16:10
  That would be apropos. That would be fair.
• 16:13
  Yeah. Do that on the Saturday and then
• 16:15
  Monday we get Iowa State. Play it on Monday night.
• 16:17
  That, though, feels like it's almost too perfect.
• 16:20
  That's a really good point for that to work.
• 16:23
  The Kirk thing, Who freaking knows?
• 16:25
  I don't. Know I've given up trying to
• 16:26
  guess. You've heard, we've heard this
• 16:28
  for years, though. The last, I don't know, 3
• 16:30
  summers. You know, Kirk wants his guy.
• 16:34
  Kirk wants to have his successor and he's going to pull what Bill
• 16:39
  Ryan did. He's going to do the bull Ryan
• 16:43
  retire, not right after a season, but he's going to do it.
• 16:46
  And not this year or next year, but somewhere down the line that
• 16:49
  that's the direction. So you think he does it in like
• 16:51
  July? Well, I don't think he does
• 16:52
  that, no. There's just people that bring
• 16:54
  this up. You've heard this before.
• 16:55
  I've heard this before. People bring this up all the
• 16:57
  time, that Kirk, in order to get who he wants in that role, that
• 17:02
  that's the direction. He'll do it.
• 17:03
  I have too much respect for Kirk parents to believe he would do
• 17:06
  that. To strong arm the athletic
• 17:08
  department, to strong arm Hawkeye fans.
• 17:12
  The program's bigger than Kirk Ference, and you learned that
• 17:16
  with the firing of his NEP coach son.
• 17:19
  And Chris Doyle. And Chris Doyle, Iowa football
• 17:22
  is bigger than Kirk Ference. Kirk's done a lot of great
• 17:23
  things and everybody, I think, knows my affinity for Kirk.
• 17:27
  However, this is not Ference ball.
• 17:30
  This is Iowa football. And I would hope if it does come
• 17:33
  to that, that it doesn't come to that if Kirk's ready to walk
• 17:36
  away, if Kirk wants Seth Wallace.
• 17:38
  Yeah, he's not going to get him, I think so.
• 17:40
  I don't think he. Is I think the Iowa job is too
• 17:42
  big. There are only 34 of those jobs
• 17:46
  in the Big 10 of the SEC. The stability of the Iowa job, 2
• 17:50
  coaches and 46 years. Bananas, that is going to play.
• 17:55
  Yeah, not the easiest place to recruit to, but when you look at
• 17:58
  overall, the stability I think is going to help and it's going
• 18:02
  to help. Yet you look around, who's been
• 18:04
  staking higher? Penn State, obviously that tier,
• 18:10
  maybe a couple tiers above Iowa. Who are they going to get?
• 18:14
  It's kind of scary when you think about.
• 18:15
  That Do you know who the rumor is that they're going to get?
• 18:18
  Who's that De Boer? Kaylin de Boer, he's also going
• 18:21
  to pull the escape hatch and get out of that Yep, craziness in
• 18:24
  Tuscaloosa. Especially if the Iron Bowl
• 18:26
  doesn't go well, yeah. I'd be doing the same.
• 18:29
  I don't play because, I mean, they've never, It was impossible
• 18:33
  to fill those shoes. Absolutely.
• 18:35
  Just absolutely impossible. So that's picking up some
• 18:39
  chatter out there. You know, you mentioned only two
• 18:43
  coaches. So January 1st is KX and it was
• 18:47
  25th birthday. I hope I'm not supposed to be
• 18:48
  not saying anything because it's too late.
• 18:50
  Now, well, all you have to do is look at Wikipedia and you see
• 18:52
  the date that it came out of the.
• 18:53
  Air, So we're going to get all the coaches that have coached in
• 18:56
  the state to happy birthday cakes.
• 18:58
  No. So we're coming up to the list.
• 19:01
  Well, there's Kirk Ference. Yeah.
• 19:03
  Because hey, yeah. Because of course.
• 19:05
  Kirk Ference. Yep.
• 19:06
  There's Bill Fenley, yes. And then the list.
• 19:10
  You can start from there, right, To build the list.
• 19:12
  But Ferrets with IVA football and Fenley with Iowa State
• 19:15
  women's basketball and you know. So I hope I'm not asked to make
• 19:18
  the call to Alford to make that happen.
• 19:20
  That probably. Wouldn't go.
• 19:20
  Somebody's going to have to probably, you know, You know
• 19:22
  what? Yeah, we should probably cross
• 19:24
  you off the list to reach out to.
• 19:26
  Them got my hand slapped a few times from Alford's crew.
• 19:29
  You know, it's funny we didn't and I don't know why, because we
• 19:33
  would RIP, but we would be fair. Would would require to be fair.
• 19:39
  Alford. Good God, what a what a time,
• 19:41
  huh? I started up.
• 19:44
  It was the year that they snuck into the tournament, his second
• 19:46
  to last year, and I started a Stola Rush Limbaugh thing, the
• 19:51
  countdown to the end of the Steve Alford era.
• 19:52
  You did. And that's how I began every one
• 19:54
  of my programs there from, I don't know, probably February.
• 19:56
  So like days you mean? Yeah, days till the end and
• 19:59
  basically looked at the end of the the Big 10 tournament and
• 20:02
  that's how I had the countdown and that's how I started every
• 20:03
  show. And then I got a e-mail.
• 20:05
  Directed, we don't like that very much because I, I think I
• 20:08
  asked to get somebody on and they're like, no, we're, we're
• 20:10
  not going to do. That well, that's when it was
• 20:12
  Fort Fort, well, Fort Kinnock, yes.
• 20:14
  I mean, if they could have built on a wall around Iowa City, keep
• 20:17
  the media out, they would have. And now it's completely flipped.
• 20:20
  It's just unbelievable. Yes.
• 20:22
  All right, we're going to be joined by Lee Sterling from
• 20:25
  Paramount Sports on the other side.
• 20:26
  So you're going to be watching women's hoops tonight?
• 20:29
  And men's Iowa plays Chicago State out of that out of.
• 20:34
  That I'll watch some of the women and the I know Mediacom
• 20:39
  has the Drake Iowa State women. That has to be an ESPN Plus
• 20:43
  crossover. Right, I think so.
• 20:45
  I believe so. I was looking.
• 20:46
  Because it's MC, it's Mediacom that's doing the production.
• 20:50
  Before he got there yesterday, I was BS and with the boys to tape
• 20:53
  our show and they said that they're doing that.
• 20:54
  So I'm guessing it has to be on ESPN Plus.
• 20:57
  So yeah, I will will do some do some women's college hoops
• 21:00
  tonight on the tube talk. I'm going to be watching a lot
• 21:04
  of football though. I like the Bills, I like Josh
• 21:07
  Allen, like to watch that. And we shall see.
• 21:11
  Not a must win, but boy, it's a pretty important win for
• 21:13
  actually for both teams, for both teams because I don't know
• 21:16
  where. I don't know where Houston is.
• 21:20
  The Texans, they're, they're 500.
• 21:21
  They need wins. They need wins.
• 21:23
  They're not catching the Colts. No, now they're looking up at
• 21:26
  Jacksonville, you know what I mean?
• 21:29
  They need to put some wins together.
• 21:31
  And it is plus by the way. It is on plus.
• 21:33
  Yes. 4 Drake, Iowa State. And that's 6 bells.
• 21:35
  So good. That's where I'll start and then
• 21:36
  I'll move over to prime and working a little deuce.
• 21:40
  We'll work in Lee Sterling from paramountsports.com.
• 21:43
  Again, coming up in about 20 minutes or so, we'll give you
• 21:46
  your cue to call. There'll be 4 of you that get an
• 21:49
  opportunity play for some gruff from the chicken coop, but we
• 21:52
  better talk some hams with our buddy Bruce.
• 21:54
  We'll get a hold of him real quick before we get least
• 21:56
  starting in here. We've been telling about hams
• 21:58
  for hams.com. For hams.com, that is the
• 22:03
  website. If you want to, if you're still,
• 22:06
  if you're in charge of something at Thanksgiving, you've got to
• 22:08
  bring something to the family or whatever.
• 22:10
  You'll be the hit of your Thanksgiving.
• 22:13
  Without a doubt in my mind, they are that good.
• 22:16
  Lambert and yours, the special spiral sliced honey glazed hams
• 22:21
  from 4hams.com. But they've got a deadline
• 22:24
  coming up here as to when you want to ship them out.
• 22:26
  So let's get right to Bruce right now.
• 22:28
  Bruce, Ken and you just talked to Trent.
• 22:31
  Thanks for coming on. I thought rather than me try to
• 22:33
  regurgitate all these deadlines, let's go right straight to you.
• 22:37
  So for those people that. Are listening.
• 22:39
  You're welcome. For those folks listening in the
• 22:42
  state of Iowa on the Sports Radio Network, they'll want to
• 22:45
  get one of these hams. We've already spoken to people
• 22:47
  around this state who have listened and are doing so when,
• 22:51
  when is when do they need to order to ensure it's on their
• 22:55
  doorstep on Wednesday? They need to they need to order
• 22:58
  probably by this weekend. We're we're I spent all night
• 23:01
  taping up Styrofoam coolers and then still going at it.
• 23:04
  And that's for that's that'll go out.
• 23:06
  Those those go out today for the people having their Thanksgiving
• 23:09
  this weekend. But you call, you get on our
• 23:12
  website for hams.com, the number for hams.com or call us on that
• 23:16
  toll free number and we can get that shipped out Monday for
• 23:19
  Tuesday. You keep in your refrigerator
• 23:21
  serve it on Thursday. Yeah, absolutely.
• 23:23
  We've got we've got some time, but we're thinking we're
• 23:25
  thinking Christmas now, gentlemen, we're pretty much
• 23:28
  done. We're you know, I mean the way
• 23:31
  the way it is now, an ice scraper costs as much as a hand.
• 23:34
  So you're trying to, you're, you're trying to, you're trying
• 23:36
  to think of what, what I get my parents, you know, your dad's
• 23:38
  already got 72 ties, You know, send them a ham, send them
• 23:41
  something to eat. And then do what I do.
• 23:43
  Invite my invite yourself over. That's the only way to do it.
• 23:46
  You'll be the hit of Thanksgiving.
• 23:47
  You'll be the hit of Christmas. It's that.
• 23:49
  Good. Yeah, exactly.
• 23:50
  Well, we sell probably about, you know, thanks to our gifts.
• 23:53
  And of course we do corporate gifts as well.
• 23:54
  You have a bunch of employees you want to thank.
• 23:57
  They've been working. They're busting their butts all
• 23:58
  year. You thank them and you thank
• 24:00
  their families when when they sit down and at Christmas and
• 24:03
  serve that nice hand dinner. So, yeah, now we're thinking
• 24:06
  gifts. We're thinking Christmas.
• 24:08
  We'll be ready to go. But we probably Christmas is
• 24:11
  about 10 times bigger than is it really.
• 24:13
  So. Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 24:15
  Thanksgiving is still a bird. It's still a bird holiday.
• 24:17
  It probably always will be. But you know, as long as we've
• 24:20
  got people that are spoiled and don't eat Turkey so they run out
• 24:23
  and grab a ham and serve both, we're gold in there.
• 24:26
  So. The number 4hams.com
• 24:28
  the#4hams.com get that order in by Monday to ensure that our by
• 24:33
  the Sunday. Plus, thank you.
• 24:35
  We can still get them there for Thanksgiving, that's for sure.
• 24:37
  Gentlemen. Yep, Yeah, it might be easier to
• 24:40
  get me a chair. I don't know.
• 24:41
  I just. Good stuff.
• 24:44
  I will. I'll be in touch.

• 24:52
  You bet. I talk to you for hams.com
• 24:55
  telling you it's worth it. Go to the website, get it done.
• 24:57
  You'll be the hit if you didn't. If it's too late for this year,
• 24:59
  for Thanksgiving, Christmas is coming.
• 25:01
  Paramountsports.com Lee Sterling, next.
• 25:03
  Miller and Condon on Des Moines sports station One O 6.3 KXNO.
• 25:10
  I'm Hillary Condon. Welcome back, Iowa Sports Radio
• 25:12
  Network. Glad you're with us on a

  paramountsports.com again, Lee will be joining us at his
• 25:30
  regular time next Tuesday. You're on a 3311 and one run in
• 25:34
  the NFL. That's seeing it pretty well as
• 25:37
  of late. Hey, Sterling, how are you?
• 25:40
  I'm good, I'm good, get next Thursday.
• 25:43
  If if everyone's kind of full and sitting down and relaxing,
• 25:48
  they want to check it out. I think we've talked about it
• 25:50
  before. We have the Turkey Bake Off
• 25:53
  where my two daughters go head to head.
• 25:55
  You know, with the pies. One does the banana cream, the
• 25:58
  other does the huckleberry pie. Well, we have a 3rd entrant.
• 26:01
  I just found out last week it's going to be my new son-in-law
• 26:07
  and my youngest daughter's boyfriend who she lives with.
• 26:10
  And they said they're entering a mystery pie.
• 26:14
  So, so they're pretty confident. They just installed, oh, we'll
• 26:18
  put the odds up probably today or tomorrow.
• 26:22
  They, they installed themselves as the favorite, believe it or
• 26:24
  not, but I had to, I had to tell them.
• 26:26
  I said, I got to be honest with you.
• 26:28
  If it's close, you know if it's a time going with my daughter so
• 26:31
  you better bring it. Yeah, you have to.
• 26:33
  Well, you have. The confidence, absolutely.
• 26:35
  You got traditional pumpkin, you got the pecan pie, you got those
• 26:37
  kind of things. You're also based in South
• 26:40
  Florida. Does anybody bring a Key Lime?
• 26:42
  Because a good Key Lime Pie that is hard to beat, Yeah.
• 26:46
  They do, they do. And yeah, just got to make sure
• 26:50
  that it's got to be got to be baked by them.
• 26:52
  Can't be bought somewhere so they can't bring it in from Joe
• 26:55
  Stone Stone crab. That would I can I can.
• 26:57
  I know that I was here last week, so I know what that tastes
• 27:00
  like. They try to bring in a ringer.
• 27:02
  You get you get to go to that place when you have a run like
• 27:05
  you're having right now. 3311 and one in the NFL.
• 27:08
  Let's get into our games this week, Lee.
• 27:10
  Let's kick things off with an SEC former Big Eight Big 12
• 27:13
  affair. Yes, these two teams playing it
• 27:15
  right. Not some by game this week.
• 27:16
  Oklahoma against Missouri, Sooners coming off that huge
• 27:20
  win, they're laying 7 1/2. Yeah, and and what a win.
• 27:23
  I mean, that defense was incredible in that game and
• 27:27
  Missouri just can't seem to get it done, you know, against these
• 27:30
  big time opponents against ranked opponents.
• 27:32
  But you know, the pressures off, I think their coachee like
• 27:35
  drink, which is going to stay love Ahmad Hardy running the
• 27:38
  football and also out of the backfield.
• 27:41
  No one's talking about it because what happened in the
• 27:43
  Seca and M came back from a 30 to 3 halftime score.
• 27:47
  Matt Hardy had 300 yards rushing last week against Mississippi
• 27:52
  State here and scored three touchdowns.
• 27:55
  I know the Sooners defense is great, allowing just 2.5 yards
• 27:58
  per carry, but Missouri defense pretty good.
• 28:01
  Also three turnovers last week and they've already faced mobile
• 28:05
  quarterbacks, you know, in Texas A&M and Vanderbilt.
• 28:08
  I don't think they're going to back down.
• 28:10
  I think the fines too high. I have Oklahoma escaping 2420.
• 28:15
  Wouldn't. Can you shock me if Missouri
• 28:17
  pulls out the win either? All right, we had a former Big
• 28:21
  Eight, Big 12 match up in the SEC list to a former PAC 12
• 28:25
  match up in the Big 10. This is huge for both schools.
• 28:27
  Oregon is the 9 1/2 point favorite as they will host USC.
• 28:32
  So two teams here, it's it's, I mean elimination game basically
• 28:37
  USC the last like 3-4 years, their defense has been Charmin
• 28:42
  soft that bad. This year they had to play some
• 28:46
  teams that are tough in the trenches like Notre Dame,
• 28:50
  Michigan, Iowa, Nebraska and Northwestern and they won four
• 28:54
  out of five. So this is a totally different
• 28:56
  team. They do have some explosive
• 28:58
  players and Oregon does too. But I think the difference this
• 29:01
  year is Oregon's top three. We have 4 wide receivers from
• 29:04
  the beginning of the year not ready to go.
• 29:07
  They've been out most of the year and they just can't take
• 29:09
  the top off the defense like they normally do here.
• 29:12
  I think another game line should be less than a touchdown or
• 29:15
  Oregon escapes here 2726. With the cover there for USC,
• 29:22
  let's come back here to the state of Iowa where the Hawkeyes
• 29:25
  on senior day welcome in Michigan State.
• 29:27
  Seven straight losses for Sparty.
• 29:29
  But anytime you see Iowa gets a conference, an opponent at north
• 29:32
  of two touchdowns, I think you get a little bit nervous. 16 1/2
• 29:35
  the number in this one. Yeah, I normally do.
• 29:39
  But the Spartans, they've yet to win a conference game.
• 29:42
  I don't see them breaking through here.
• 29:44
  This is a classic Iowa team, elite defense, better than
• 29:47
  average running game. They supplement it with a really
• 29:50
  good special teams play and they get turnovers and that that gets
• 29:53
  you short fields and you can win games and and maybe win by
• 29:57
  double digits. Michigan State here hasn't
• 29:59
  broken 20 points in over a month.
• 30:01
  They already made a change here at quarterback and their
• 30:05
  defense, the end of the Penn State and also Michigan game.
• 30:09
  Watch them. They are absolutely gassed.
• 30:11
  They know running plays are coming.
• 30:13
  Can't stop their opponent from even getting first downs in the
• 30:17
  fourth quarter here. I like Iowa, I think they
• 30:20
  wouldn't cover 3414 all. Right from Iowa City, let's go
• 30:23
  to Ames. The clones.
• 30:24
  They'll host Kansas. Iowa State's a four point
• 30:26
  favorite, Lee. Yeah, and and if you look at the
• 30:30
  stats of Jalen Daniels, quarterback for Kansas, you're
• 30:33
  like, wow, oh, they must be like 8 and 221 touchdowns, only three
• 30:38
  interceptions. Beck, Marco Beck not great, 7
• 30:43
  interceptions over the last four games, but I think they're
• 30:47
  starting to find themselves after that five and O start.
• 30:49
  They're finally bowl eligible here and Kansas defense the
• 30:53
  worst of the four units here. Iowa State pulls away 3121 in
• 30:57
  the fourth quarter. And we wrap things up in the
• 31:00
  NFL. Huge game in the early window,
• 31:02
  the Colts and the Chiefs in Kansas City, KS.
• 31:06
  City favored by a field goal. So you want to get on this game
• 31:10
  now this line I think is going to go up to 3 1/2 four.
• 31:13
  So almost half the places have it at 3.
• 31:15
  The culture, 8:00 and 2:00. This is this is not a must win
• 31:18
  game for them. They have a 2 point lead in the
• 31:20
  division. Kansas City.
• 31:22
  They lose this game and I think they're going to realize they're
• 31:24
  not making the playoffs. It is that important at 5:00 and
• 31:27
  5:00. So you look at the Indianapolis
• 31:30
  offense, who have they had trouble against #2 rated defense
• 31:33
  of the Rams lost that game against Pittsburgh, which you
• 31:37
  know, some week shows up. They showed up that week forced,
• 31:41
  I think it was 5 or 6 turnovers. And Denver, Denver #3 rated
• 31:45
  Denver scoring D. They escaped somehow with a one
• 31:48
  point win in that game. Now in trots to defend the home
• 31:52
  turf is the chiefs #4 scoring defense 18.1 points per game.
• 31:58
  They're desperate. Patrick Mahomes, his top three
• 32:00
  receivers last week, Hollywood Brown, Worthy and also.
• 32:07
  Kelsey. Is yeah, Kelpville rights.
• 32:10
  I'm talking about his home run hitters.
• 32:11
  Kelsey had nine for 91 top 3 downfield threats.
• 32:15
  Top pass attempt was completed for just 11 yards.
• 32:20
  That's it with those three guys. His ball was flat.
• 32:23
  I think he's going to get back to better mechanics here.
• 32:26
  I like Kansas City Big 3123. All right, your game of the
• 32:29
  week. It's the Bears and it's the
• 32:31
  Steelers. Does Aaron Rodgers win one, one
• 32:33
  more game at Soldier Field? If folks want more information
• 32:36
  on your game of The Weekly, how do they get in touch with you?
• 32:40
  Yeah, he'll be on the sidelines. Doesn't look like he's going to
• 32:42
  be a go big game here for the Bears and the Steelers.
• 32:47
  Bears surprisingly 7 and three Steelers right in the playoff
• 32:51
  mix here. So they still have some some
• 32:55
  talent and it's going to be a fun game.
• 32:57
  First five callers to call 800-400-9741.
• 33:01
  Put them on the right side of the Bears and Steelers
• 33:04
  800-400-9741. And like I said, 3311 and one
• 33:09
  last 9 Sundays in the NFL, Lee's NFL Sunday Golden Ticket just
• 33:14
  $197.00. You get 5 selections for four
• 33:17
  weeks. And also how about this, a UFC
• 33:19
  card last week, a rare losing week, our worst performance one
• 33:24
  in five. Haven't done that in two years.
• 33:26
  So not going to put out five selections for 55 or even 25
• 33:30
  bucks $5 you heard me correct, $5 for the UFC card starts at
• 33:35
  9:00 in the morning on Saturday. I rarely lose two in a row, so 5
• 33:40
  bucks for five selections. I just want to make sure you
• 33:44
  have a pulse and a credit card one place.
