• 1:28
  Well, three-game 3 winner go home a series tonight.
• 1:32
  Pretty good game in the NFL on Amazon for a 1st Thursday of the
• 1:39
  month of October. Not too bad if I do say so
• 1:42
  myself. Good one.
• 1:44
  It's October. It's great now.
• 1:45
  Tomorrow's going to be brutal. I mean, tomorrow's the worst
• 1:47
  Friday. I couldn't recall in a long
• 1:49
  time. Really.
• 1:50
  There's there's zip are. You talking about?
• 1:52
  There's one we got 18 Centennial Valley.
• 1:54
  Oh, I forgot. Yeah.
• 1:55
  High school football on Friday nights.
• 1:56
  Miller. Not all about that.
• 1:57
  Yes. Ankeny, Centennial Valley and
• 2:01
  and a another group of high school game taking place
• 2:04
  throughout the state. But for those of you who like to
• 2:06
  sit on your couch, there is nobody.
• 2:08
  Well, you can sit on your couch and watch high school football.
• 2:12
  I can. Yes, watch it on CISN.
• 2:15
  OK, yeah, I just might be tempted to do that tomorrow.
• 2:18
  Because you're not going to botch Delaware Western.
• 2:19
  Kentucky No, no. The the football slate.
• 2:21
  What is college football doing? Well, I think they thought
• 2:24
  baseball must be taken that day. Well, I think more importantly,
• 2:27
  maybe you thought that Big 12 game was going to be a little
• 2:29
  bit better BYU, but. Still late in the day though,
• 2:32
  you know West Virginia, BYU and 9:30 kick.
• 2:36
  Perfect. For you, Yeah, for you.
• 2:37
  But then and for the folks in the West Coast, but not a lot of
• 2:41
  look, why am I talking about that?
• 2:42
  We got a hell of a day in front of us here today.
• 2:44
  Three unbelievable games, all of them tied to one what those the
• 2:48
  winners will advance. Obviously the winner puts the
• 2:51
  equipment away until February when they descend upon either
• 2:54
  Arizona or Florida for spring training.
• 2:57
  And man, I can't wait for each and every one of them.
• 3:00
  I you could tell me that any team of the six are going to win
• 3:03
  and I you can make that case. I think that these are
• 3:06
  absolutely confounding from a betting perspective.
• 3:09
  I'd have. I'd hate to have to bet my life
• 3:11
  on one of these games. I'm right there with you and
• 3:13
  looking through and just starting with the pitching match
• 3:15
  up. Let's obviously start with the
• 3:16
  most important one here and that is the Cubs and the Padres.
• 3:20
  You Darvish. Not good on the road.
• 3:22
  We know you. There's one of two you's you're
• 3:24
  going to see. You're bad.
• 3:25
  You. You are.
• 3:26
  You know what? And we probably will see that
• 3:28
  you're in the same game. Oh, absolutely.
• 3:30
  Yeah. I like his teammate Dylan Cease.
• 3:32
  You know what the Cubs need to do?
• 3:34
  Hit the ball that. 'D be nice yeah yeah Ian Happ
• 3:36
  your 3 hole hitter makes makes some contact Tucker's let's see
• 3:40
  how with these one for 7 Shaw doesn't have a hit in this damn
• 3:44
  thing Who are we missing? The the middle of their orders.
• 3:47
  Oh, PCA, Yeah, 121. It just it's brutal, absolutely
• 3:52
  awful. And the inability, yes.
• 3:55
  Now the good news was out of yesterday.
• 3:57
  He's Mason Miller. Maybe enough pitched today.
• 3:59
  He hasn't pitched 3 consecutive games all year long.
• 4:02
  You see him up there chucking at one O 4.
• 4:05
  He pitched in game one and now in hindsight wondered about that
• 4:09
  decision. But it's also the playoffs and
• 4:13
  if they need him and maybe it's four and out, two outs, 2 on,
• 4:17
  there's something like that. End of the inning so you can get
• 4:19
  away with it. That way, but not just that he
• 4:22
  threw yesterday, but he threw 27 pitches.
• 4:24
  He went one and two. Thirds.
• 4:25
  Let me let me run this by the last 12 batters he's faced.
• 4:28
  These are the last 12 hitters that he's faced in the batter's
• 4:31
  box. All right, strike out looking,
• 4:33
  strike out, looking strike out swinging.
• 4:35
  Strike out swinging. Strike out looking strike out,
• 4:38
  swing, strike out swinging. Strike out, looking strike out,
• 4:41
  swing. Strike out swinging.
• 4:42
  Strike out swinginging. Strike out swinging.
• 4:44
  Nobody's made contact. Nobody.
• 4:47
  The only contact that was made was by him when he hit a batter.
• 4:51
  That is unthinkable trend. Not a ground out to 3rd, not a
• 4:55
  pop up to the catcher. Nothing like this.
• 4:57
  It's a fascinating statistic. This guy is so good.
• 5:01
  Ken, from time to time we fall victim to it as well.
• 5:05
  Man, nobody can hit anymore. No, no, I mean the batting
• 5:09
  averages in baseball are brutal. He had the 2nd place guy that
• 5:12
  was under 300 in what, the NL this year.
• 5:14
  It just it's. Here's your reason you have.
• 5:18
  Pictures. Guys like this, not only do you
• 5:21
  not get to see a guy third time through and we know the impact
• 5:25
  of that, that is basically fallen by the wayside for almost
• 5:28
  everybody. I mean, 90% of the starters are
• 5:31
  not going to go through a third time, but you couple it with and
• 5:34
  it's not one bearing gear coming out with his fat gut and his
• 5:38
  mustache coming out of the bullpen.
• 5:40
  Well, how did you pull bearing gear out of it?
• 5:42
  Senior smoke. He was good.
• 5:45
  I don't know. Didn't look the part.
• 5:47
  But I mean, he threw 93. He was a fireballer at 93.
• 5:51
  No, no, no. You got guys throwing sliders at
• 5:53
  93? He won a World Series, didn't.
• 5:55
  He he did, yeah. Senior Smoke.
• 5:57
  Senior Smoke. You, that's what you're dealing
• 6:00
  with in today's age. There's your reason, very
• 6:02
  simply. And you see these bullpens, and
• 6:05
  he sees these bullpens that overall this season haven't been
• 6:07
  that good. The Yankees, The Dodgers, The.
• 6:10
  Dodgers. There's been plenty of them that
• 6:13
  that has been the warts on the team and they still have endless
• 6:16
  guys that are throwing upper 90s.
• 6:17
  That's why nobody can hit good luck.
• 6:19
  That's what we're going through every single time.
• 6:21
  And yeah, from time to time we need to remind ourself of that
• 6:23
  part of. It, well, it's it was great
• 6:25
  theater. Detroit and Cleveland putting on
• 6:27
  a hell of a show. And then Cleveland just came to
• 6:29
  life in the 8th inning. Look, Manny Machado, that ball
• 6:33
  that he hit, he absolutely demolished that bit.
• 6:37
  That swing was violent and he knew it exacts it.
• 6:40
  And and and so did Tatis, who was standing between second and
• 6:44
  third base at the time. He put his arms in the air, knew
• 6:47
  it was gone. Did you see the guy that caught
• 6:48
  the ball in the very last row of Wrigley Field just stood there,
• 6:51
  just raised an arm up. It was about to head on to
• 6:54
  whatever St. that is out there just raised put his arm up and
• 6:58
  and made the catch, but just demolished that baseball.
• 7:02
  Mason Miller was unbelievable. Imenaga should have been in
• 7:06
  should have been out. Hard to say.
• 7:08
  You know that. The bottom line is you got to
• 7:10
  score runs to win baseball games and the Cubs didn't do that
• 7:13
  regardless who was in yesterday. So we'll see.
• 7:15
  But they need some of their big guns to get going.
• 7:18
  Hap all of them. All of them need to get their
• 7:22
  heads out of the you know what's and and get on base for crying
• 7:25
  out loud. Bush is 1 for Yeah, Tucker got
• 7:28
  the he's. At the top of the line, yeah,
• 7:29
  Tucker had one single, right. Nico Horners of Nico Horners,
• 7:33
  the MVP of the team. Suzuki's OK Kelly had a big home
• 7:36
  run. Game one, Swanson's had a good
• 7:39
  series both at in the batter's box, in particular at shortstop.
• 7:42
  He's been he's been terrific. But Matt Shaw doesn't have a hit
• 7:46
  and PCA doesn't have a hit and Hap doesn't have a hit.
• 7:49
  The list goes on and on and on. The bats need to wake up today
• 7:53
  and do so against a former Cub. You Darvish.
• 7:55
  And you're 100% right. Depends when you watch them.
• 7:58
  Think you're watching Cy Young. Next day you think you're
• 8:00
  watching some bum, but we'll see where it goes today.
• 8:04
  Can't wait. 4:00, first pitch, four O 8.
• 8:07
  I love the way they set up. I get a kick out of, you know,
• 8:11
  listening or not listening. But hearing Tigers fans and
• 8:16
  Cleveland fans pissed off that their game is first.
• 8:19
  Well, what else you can do, right?
• 8:19
  Where are you going to put it? You mean that you put your TV
• 8:22
  hat on, take your take your ball cap off and put your executive
• 8:26
  hat on? That's the game that's going
• 8:27
  first. You can make the argument the
• 8:29
  Cubs should be second but with maybe 1 exception and that
• 8:32
  exception is Socks Yanks like it or not.
• 8:35
  Last night you had again, Aaron Boone in the middle of it, and
• 8:42
  it doesn't matter what decision it feels like he makes.
• 8:46
  It's going to be wrong. He's going to come back.
• 8:47
  Because even if he makes the right decision, then people just
• 8:50
  say, well, that was just Cashman and the the computer nerds that
• 8:53
  made that decision. And it does feel like that a lot
• 8:56
  with it. It's baseball in general.
• 8:58
  And maybe it's just because it's the Yankees and you hear so much
• 9:02
  angst about that. It's New York media, Yes, it's
• 9:05
  the center of the universe. I'm sure that's probably a part
• 9:07
  of it too. I was just watching last night.
• 9:10
  I'm like, it doesn't matter because he's going to be second.
• 9:14
  That's also, I tell you this all the time.
• 9:16
  I get people that aren't big baseball fans anymore.
• 9:19
  How do you talk about baseball? And I I tell them baseball's the
• 9:21
  easiest sport to talk about because it's all second
• 9:23
  guessing. It is by far.
• 9:25
  If you're watching the games. That's all it is.
• 9:27
  That's all we're doing is second guessing.
• 9:29
  And that what makes it such a great sport to talk about is
• 9:32
  because you can look back in hindsight about making Oh, he
• 9:35
  got up to one O 2 and it felt like an automatic pull right at
• 9:37
  that point, automatic one and two pitches got to get them out
• 9:40
  of there in game one. And then we saw obviously what
• 9:43
  happened and you go back to last night too and and he'd go
• 9:46
  through and rode on. Did he go too long?
• 9:49
  Let him stay in the game. It's just one after another.
• 9:55
  I even thought when they brought Williams in and Oh my.
• 9:57
  God, that's what I thought too. Just there's no winning, no.
• 10:01
  There's no winning with short of a World Series with that
• 10:04
  organization, there is nothing that can be.
• 10:06
  Banned and you've heard it your whole life when it when you
• 10:08
  started following sports started to understand it takes a special
• 10:11
  kind of personality and person to play in New York and I
• 10:14
  believe that it does. I really yes, they're well
• 10:16
  compensated, but the stuff that they have to take it's Walt.
• 10:19
  It's 3 newspapers, 2 of which are tabloids.
• 10:22
  It's multiple sports radio stations.
• 10:25
  It's everything. It's just it's magnified.
• 10:28
  It's like playing hockey in Toronto.
• 10:30
  It's just, it's just different. But man, oh man, these series
• 10:34
  have been phenomenal. So let's get into it.
• 10:36
  In particular, let's get into the Cubs series.
• 10:38
  Who do you like in this series? I like Eileen the Padres just
• 10:41
  because the Cubs bats are so silent.
• 10:44
  I think that's the way to look at it too, and it's going to
• 10:47
  come down to you, Darvish, I believe, and what he has out
• 10:50
  there. But if the same two teams showed
• 10:52
  up that we saw in games one and Game 2 yeah they got two home
• 10:55
  runs, but there wasn't a whole lot else there in game one.
• 10:58
  The big back home runs too yes I I like tyone.
• 11:02
  I like him in this spot and I might give a slight edge just
• 11:07
  because you can blow up and I don't think we'll see that from
• 11:10
  tyone. However, he's.
• 11:11
  Better at home? The lineup.
• 11:14
  I like the Padres more, yeah. Alvarez is a get on base machine
• 11:18
  the. Bullpen with Mason Miller
• 11:21
  available. In whatever instance it is, I
• 11:24
  like them better. Yeah, Suarez coming in.
• 11:26
  Did Suarez pitch in game one? I don't believe so.
• 11:31
  He did not. Yesterday was his first
• 11:35
  appearance since since Saturday in Arizona.
• 11:38
  So he'll be good to go today. I got him.
• 11:41
  You're right, Trent. I mean, Mason Miller, 27 pitches
• 11:44
  yesterday. I, I, I, I I'm not sure that
• 11:50
  he's going to be available. He's such a weapon, he is.
• 11:53
  He's such a weapon. And if it comes down to that and
• 11:55
  closeout and it's 3. 8 pitches in the last two days, but if you
• 11:59
  don't use his day off tomorrow or or a whole offseason
• 12:02
  tomorrow, so man, you know, it's kind of not unfair when we we've
• 12:08
  said it before in different sports.
• 12:09
  You remember back in the day when the Cowboys and the Niners,
• 12:11
  whoever wins this game, that's the real super.
• 12:13
  Bowl I. Kind of feel like that's what
• 12:15
  we're on the cusp of for the World Series.
• 12:18
  Yes. Doesn't it to you?
• 12:19
  It's No, it does to me. I think that these are the two
• 12:22
  best teams in baseball. I don't know who.
• 12:26
  Who do you want to elbow in and take out of that conversation?
• 12:30
  Brewers. Yeah.
• 12:31
  Yanks. I'm not sure they're going to
• 12:34
  win this series. Right.
• 12:35
  And he got that. Boston's tough.
• 12:37
  Seattle with that staff now we'll see about Wu and what his
• 12:40
  availability because you take him out of that rotation changes
• 12:43
  I think the equation very quickly.
• 12:44
  There's a lot of love out there for the.
• 12:46
  Mariners, I mean, the the strength of that team is
• 12:48
  obviously the rotation we've been talking about for three
• 12:50
  years and how it shows up on this kind of stage.
• 12:53
  You couple it with what they did going out, getting help to help
• 12:56
  out that line up. I like Seattle a whole lot.
• 12:58
  You've talked about the Blue Jays issues in the back end,
• 13:01
  David. They're.
• 13:02
  Legit. The Mariners would be able to
• 13:04
  upset it, but Milwaukee in A7 game series against either the
• 13:08
  Phillies or they're going to be decided underdogs even with for.
• 13:10
  Sure, for sure they are. I mean, you know what, maybe you
• 13:12
  talked me into it. It's hard to come up with a
• 13:15
  cognitive response to say, yes, it's baseball, anything can
• 13:19
  happen, right? But I I absolutely get and then
• 13:22
  you kind of get into, you know, we got to decide this in A5 game
• 13:25
  series. That's just the other thing too,
• 13:26
  right? Yeah.
• 13:27
  That part are we. Doing.
• 13:28
  Yeah, What are we doing? I had what other baseball
• 13:30
  thought I wanted to throw your way and as we go back to last
• 13:35
  weekend, one of the greatest sports weekends you're going to
• 13:37
  find. Yeah, it's fascinating.
• 13:38
  Ryder Cup. Fell by the wayside and baseball
• 13:41
  fell by the wayside and Sunday. A lot of respects, Yep.
• 13:43
  Is there a way that you can not end the season on Sunday, but
• 13:51
  either push it forward a couple of days and it Monday you have
• 13:55
  all those games, 2:00 our time happening leading into Monday
• 13:59
  Night Football. Think that'd be pretty good
• 14:00
  theater Tuesday off and then you start things up Wednesday.
• 14:03
  So you're just delaying everything by a day or even a
• 14:05
  pushing it back the other way and any of the regular season on
• 14:09
  say a Saturday or even a Friday, ending the season there and
• 14:13
  going that. Direction and then starting the
• 14:15
  playoffs on Monday. And then starting the playoffs
• 14:17
  on Monday is, is there a path that you can take to make that
• 14:20
  feasible? Likely because we also like to
• 14:23
  live in reality. We can come up with this
• 14:25
  grandiose ideas and things like that.
• 14:26
  But there has to be something because baseball, we go back to
• 14:30
  that great final Sunday, the regular season, what, 7-8 years
• 14:33
  ago, whatever that. Was Oh, it might have been more
• 14:35
  than that. And even then, it took social
• 14:37
  media to be alerted to get. Through this was like, I think
• 14:41
  you're talking about 2010 made that was that far back.
• 14:44
  I think it's or 11 or 12 that world.
• 14:46
  We really, you know what I learned today and it just seems
• 14:48
  like this was yesterday. Speaking of that, it's been 9
• 14:51
  years since Vince Gully called his last game.
• 14:53
  That seems unthinkable. Isn't it?
• 14:54
  Yeah. Nine years.
• 14:56
  Are you kidding? Me 3-4 years ago, right?
• 14:59
  That's what I thought. Is there a way, though, for
• 15:01
  baseball to still have that moment?
• 15:04
  And I think the Monday one makes you concede to football.
• 15:07
  You just you can't beat it. You're not beating the NFL on
• 15:10
  Sunday. No, you're not.
• 15:11
  Even putting it to Monday, pushing it back a day, I
• 15:14
  understand attendance not going to probably be the same.
• 15:17
  And there's going to be no more double headers on Monday night
• 15:19
  after this year. Double headers on Monday night
• 15:21
  are done. And since you've given away game
• 15:24
  160 threes, much my chagrin. Yeah, I think everybody's.
• 15:27
  No, not everybody's. You think everybody's happy that
• 15:31
  we don't get Game 163 Well. If you're a baseball fan or
• 15:33
  sports fan, I don't know why you wouldn't want to watch.
• 15:35
  That I thought you were going the other one.
• 15:37
  No. Hell no.
• 15:38
  OK, so if you're not going to do that and they're not, doesn't
• 15:42
  that make a whole lot of sense? Put everything 2:00 on Monday.
• 15:46
  You get kind of the stage to yourself in today's environment.
• 15:48
  Too. So you're off on Sunday?
• 15:50
  No, you just go play in your weekend series the same way and
• 15:53
  maybe you end with a four-game series.
• 15:54
  That's how you wrap up the regular season with the
• 15:56
  four-game series. Is what they used to call them.
• 15:59
  Is that something that would make sense, that would work?
• 16:01
  You take Tuesday off and then boom, playoffs begin Wednesday,
• 16:04
  Thursday, Friday with the wild card round.
• 16:06
  I like the idea. I like the thought process
• 16:08
  behind it. It just it gets lost.
• 16:11
  Yeah. And I know the Ryder Cups, not
• 16:12
  every year, right, but it is every couple years.
• 16:15
  The other year, yeah. And the NFL is not going away on
• 16:18
  Sundays. No, you're not going to win that
• 16:20
  battle. No, I think it's something that
• 16:22
  makes a lot of sense. Especially when the Ryder Cups
• 16:24
  on US soil, because there's a six hour difference.
• 16:27
  It'll be over. It'll be over by noon, 1:00 most
• 16:31
  well all years when it when it's across the pond.
• 16:33
  Fascinating discussion. We'll see where it goes this
• 16:36
  Thursday Night Football game. Oh, by the way, and that's a
• 16:39
  hell of a game, too. I think Rams and Niners got some
• 16:42
  intrigue. Obviously all the injuries to
• 16:44
  the Niners we use, we use the Rams in our survivor, our lone
• 16:48
  survivor ticket. We're all in in LA, they get
• 16:50
  beat. We are out for another year.
• 16:53
  When you send in your entry, I did the same.
• 16:56
  You took the Rams? I didn't take the same team
• 16:58
  though. What direction you think that I
• 17:01
  went here this? Is good.
• 17:02
  This is did not go with the Rams so.
• 17:04
  So I think I thought there were only a couple of games you could
• 17:07
  use. I think the Vikings Cleveland
• 17:10
  game, I think especially with Gabriel starting, I think maybe
• 17:14
  the Vikings that's not where you went.
• 17:16
  Nope. I think I just that offensive
• 17:18
  line no and. Against that Browns defense,
• 17:21
  that thing's got 1312 written all over it.
• 17:23
  I think you took a long look at Tennessee and Arizona, but how
• 17:28
  can anyone trust Arizona? I already used Arizona in week.
• 17:31
  2 So that's off the table. I've used the Broncos, the
• 17:34
  Cardinals, the Bills and the Texans.
• 17:38
  Wow. What are you left with?
• 17:39
  You're not using Tampa, Seattle, Detroit's.
• 17:42
  You use Detroit? I didn't because I want to win.
• 17:44
  This thing you want to save them for Thanksgiving.
• 17:48
  You've used the bills. Yes, sorry, can't use them
• 17:51
  against the past. The Chiefs are in, are on
• 17:53
  Thanksgiving weekend or Christmas?
• 17:55
  They're on Christmas for sure. Trent, I don't know.
• 17:57
  Which way did you go? I went with the Indianapolis
• 17:59
  Colts. Oh yeah.
• 18:01
  I love the noon kick off on top of it.
• 18:03
  Against the Raiders, the early. Window against the Raiders.
• 18:05
  So I went with Indiana Jones and the Colts.
• 18:09
  Trent Indianapolis is a legitimate playoff.
• 18:13
  Not just get in. I think they're a threat to the
• 18:17
  AFC. They have a tremendous run game.
• 18:21
  The number is for Daniel Jones, too.
• 18:23
  He has, you know, just 4 touchdowns, 2 interceptions, but
• 18:26
  he's thrown for over 1000 yards already.
• 18:28
  His quarterback rating is one O 3.3.
• 18:32
  We talked about the lack of punts that they've had this year
• 18:34
  and Jonathan Taylor, when he's this, when he's like this, he's
• 18:39
  as good as anybody on the side of Saquon.
• 18:40
  I agree. They're three and one.
• 18:42
  I think maybe that's the most key number that's staring you
• 18:44
  right in the face. I like your move.
• 18:46
  I like your move. We I'm not sure if we I think we
• 18:51
  got the Colts left. Well, we'll see.
• 18:52
  Hopefully we'd have another week to care to care about it and to
• 18:56
  care about look, I know it's more than just survivor, Sir.
• 18:58
  There's so many pools out there. That's why I don't mind talking
• 19:01
  about it. I don't want I don't wouldn't
• 19:02
  bore you if I played fantasy football with my fantasy team.
• 19:06
  I don't care about yours. You don't care about mine.
• 19:08
  But this is, I think, a little bit different because this
• 19:10
  contest is so many millions of dollars at stake.
• 19:13
  All right, let's get Thunder Joe in here.
• 19:15
  He's got an idea. Or do you, Joe?
• 19:17
  What would you? You do.
• 19:19
  Simple solution to this. They don't need 2 damn days off
• 19:24
  after the All Star break. Those are the two worst days of
• 19:26
  sports anyway. You know, shrink it, shrink it,
• 19:29
  shrink it back down to 1, and there we go.
• 19:31
  We've made-up a day. So play play.
• 19:33
  Do your recipes on Thursday, play ball.
• 19:35
  Nope. Do your recipes on Wednesday,
• 19:37
  play ball on Thursday, and away we go.
• 19:40
  And away we go. Because you think about it, that
• 19:42
  that Friday is horrible. No, that no, Thursday is
• 19:46
  horrible. Thursday, Yeah, there's nothing
• 19:48
  going on. I mean, I don't even think the
• 19:50
  WNBA was going on, and five years ago I wouldn't have cared.
• 19:54
  Yeah, no kidding. That's not bad, Joe.
• 19:57
  That's not bad. I I like it.
• 19:59
  I'm not sure it'll change, but I think it's certainly worth
• 20:02
  discussion. And and also and also being a
• 20:04
  traditionalist, you can always schedule day night
• 20:07
  doubleheaders. But let's let's do a little bit
• 20:09
  of throwback here, I mean. They can do that so 2 gates
• 20:12
  though but empty the building out so you get your so you don't
• 20:15
  miss a live gate. Is that what you want to do?
• 20:18
  You have to make up the money. Yeah, owners wouldn't have it
• 20:20
  any other way. Thanks, Joe.
• 20:21
  Appreciate the calls. Always good to hear from you.
• 20:24
  Lee Sterling coming up. We'll give you a keyword coming
• 20:26
  up as well. I like the Colts.
• 20:30
  Like the Colts, I like the Colts.
• 20:31
  You're liking it more. I'm liking it more.
• 20:33
  You wish you would have taken the.
• 20:34
  Colts. No, I still like the ramps.
• 20:35
  It would have come 10. 15 tonight I'll probably wish I had
• 20:38
  the Colts. You took a divisional game, I
• 20:40
  always tell you, but San. Francisco's out.
• 20:44
  He's not alone. I mean, all of the receivers are
• 20:47
  out, Jenny's is out, Piersall is out.
• 20:50
  This team is banged up in this in the skill positions.
• 20:54
  Who's going to catch the ball for them tonight?
• 20:55
  Do you know? Didn't they just?
• 20:57
  Sign Valdez. Stan, what's the name?
• 20:59
  Valdez Scanlink. Is that who it was?
• 21:00
  I think they did. Oh, it's right, yeah.
• 21:05
  Brandon Ayuk is. Out of course.
• 21:08
  Oh, this team. My God, that.
• 21:10
  Yeah, that. Injury report.
• 21:12
  I was just looking at like the full run.
• 21:13
  Kittle is out, yeah. He's on the IR, isn't he?
• 21:15
  Not I think so. Yeah, he is.
• 21:17
  Though he had had. Time to send a message to
• 21:20
  McKenna Wolichko, did he? He has him and Claire put
• 21:24
  together a little video there as she's from San Jose.
• 21:26
  OK. And apparently they had met
• 21:28
  before. So Iowa, a little extra
• 21:30
  recruiting goal and I see. They're doing a podcast the,
• 21:33
  the, the Kittles, the Kittle cast or whatever it is that that
• 21:38
  video that was sent of her letting Iowa know that she's
• 21:43
  going to be. I don't think it's staged.
• 21:45
  No, no, I, I think it's absolutely, it was perfect
• 21:49
  timing. Now, somebody had to work behind
• 21:51
  the scenes, but I don't think Jan Jensen or her team knew it
• 21:55
  was coming. I don't believe so.
• 21:57
  And what I read was that McKenna Willichko alerted like the video
• 22:02
  production staff, hey, I'm going to call while you guys are in
• 22:06
  the photo shoot. So that was kind of she worked
• 22:08
  with the people behind the scenes.
• 22:10
  So they were the ones that had the phone handed to Jan.
• 22:14
  That reaction, oh, it's priceless.
• 22:15
  It's really. Really good.
• 22:16
  Layla Hayes, who? Was right next to her who was
• 22:18
  the lead recruiter, the freshman from Alaska, she was helping out
• 22:23
  on the recruiting side of that thing.
• 22:25
  She was just happened to be right next to her on top of her
• 22:27
  and she just talk about a stroke of genius, brilliant.
• 22:29
  And and you know, the women's basketball program, they do such
• 22:31
  a great job of that social media stuff.
• 22:33
  They're doing that. And here's the other.
• 22:34
  Thing to do when it's our job of selling tickets they're sold out
• 22:37
  again this year you wonder how you.
• 22:40
  Get players like we'll let you go, maybe Addison, Bjorn, Jenica
• 22:43
  Lewis. I mean, when you're talking
• 22:45
  about the elite, when you're going up against the blue bloods
• 22:48
  right to the. Fan base.
• 22:50
  Sticking around, building's full.
• 22:51
  Everyone, everyone of them that comes to play here points that
• 22:54
  out the the support that they get.
• 22:57
  Oh, it's unbelievable. Look what look at the legacy
• 23:00
  she's left. It's it's truly incredible.
• 23:03
  All right, let's go. Let's make some money for.

  Miller and Condon underway on a busy, busy, wonderful Sports
• 23:52
  Thursday. It's the Iowa Sports Radio
• 23:54
  Network. Hi, Miller Condon.
• 24:00
  Welcome back to the Iowa Sports Radio network wherever you're
• 24:02
  listening in the state of I we're glad you are.
• 24:04
  Of course we are flagshipped on Des Moines sports station one O
• 24:07
  6.3 KXO chicken coop giveaway coming up in about 10 minutes.
• 24:11
  Right now the red hot Lee Sterling is 40 unit play last
• 24:16
  week hits it was South Carolina Trent tells me you're on fire in
• 24:20
  the NFL. Lee Sterling, what's the what's
• 24:22
  the current streak you're working on?
• 24:25
  Right. So we've won eleven straight in
• 24:27
  the NFL, which is tough to do the NFL tough.
• 24:31
  There's a lot of games. In fact, seems like 6570% of the
• 24:36
  games come down the last two minutes as far as the point
• 24:38
  spread or the total. So we won eleven straight there
• 24:41
  and we won our our 40 unit Max wager on South Carolina last
• 24:45
  week, laying the five and a half 13513.
• 24:48
  So probably the biggest weekend we've ever had across all the
• 24:52
  different sports. If you like Major League
• 24:54
  Baseball playoffs, I lowered that through the World Series.
• 24:58
  97 bucks were four and O to start in the playoffs there you
• 25:02
  can get to UFC. We've won 14 to 17 cards and we
• 25:07
  have a 40 and A50 unit Max wager on the same card, 7 selections,
• 25:13
  $57. We've never had a 40 and A50
• 25:16
  unit in the six years we've done that on the same card.
• 25:19
  And all the football specials from NFL 5 for 55 or October,
• 25:25
  the entire month for 497 with coupon code save 100.
• 25:29
  Everything's up and available. Check out the website
• 25:32
  paramountsports.com Red Hot Tan. Red hot for us a week ago as you
• 25:36
  gave us 4 winners out of your five games.
• 25:38
  Let's keep it going here and open up in the SEC where Alabama
• 25:43
  welcomes in Vanderbilt. You'd normally look at that game
• 25:45
  and say, oh, this thing's going to be a laugher.
• 25:47
  Well, Vandy proved it a year ago.
• 25:49
  Certainly not the case. Crimson Tide favor by 10 1/2.
• 25:53
  Yeah, and and. Everyone knows Vandy won last
• 25:55
  year 40 to 35 as a 23 point favorite was Alabama.
• 26:02
  Before last year Alabama had outscored Vanderbilt 148 to 3
• 26:06
  three previous meeting. So before that it was total
• 26:09
  domination. Now Vanderbilt is 1 and one
• 26:12
  conference play. Everything seems to be rolling
• 26:15
  right along. But they did benefit in that
• 26:18
  game where they won the first conference game against South
• 26:21
  Carolina. Lenore Sellers went out when the
• 26:23
  the game was tied 7/7 with a concussion.
• 26:25
  They only threw for 177 yards in that game.
• 26:28
  We know that Alabama will have their full focus ready for this
• 26:32
  game. They're not going to be looking
• 26:34
  ahead. And what's the biggest weakness
• 26:36
  on Vanderbilt's team? Their past defense.
• 26:39
  They gave up 274 passing yards to Utah State.
• 26:43
  If Utah State can throw for 274, Alabama might throw for over
• 26:48
  400. Except for Ohio State's trio
• 26:52
  receivers, I think Bama probably has the second best group of
• 26:56
  wide receivers. Ty Simpson is on a high right
• 26:59
  now, might be playing the best of any quarterback in the
• 27:02
  country, and he wasn't even talked about really in the top
• 27:05
  20 payback is he? You know what, Roll Tide 3820.
• 27:11
  All right, let's go to the big. 10 not Wisconsin's year, at
• 27:14
  least thus far. Michigan, a 17 point favorite is
• 27:17
  they will welcome the Badgers so.
• 27:21
  This line I thought was going to come out about 2020 1/2 and it's
• 27:26
  just not budget. A lot of people are betting
• 27:28
  Michigan, but the money, the sharp money is coming in
• 27:31
  Wisconsin. So not much of an offense, but
• 27:36
  can play some decent defense here.
• 27:38
  So I think they're going to have a chance here.
• 27:42
  I do think though, Michigan is going to try to use the pass and
• 27:45
  open it up more than they've done in the past year.
• 27:48
  They want to see if they're young quarterback Underwood can
• 27:51
  can get that going and make that a really big part of their
• 27:54
  offense. But, you know, this might be the
• 27:57
  game where Michigan, you know, kind of looking ahead, you know,
• 28:00
  might be a little lackadaisical. I think this is Wisconsin's last
• 28:04
  stand. Don't be surprised if Billy
• 28:06
  Edwards plays in this game. It's not practice much, but two
• 28:09
  years ago when he was at Maryland, he he played quite a
• 28:14
  game. They only lost 31 to 24.
• 28:16
  So if he gets in there, something you might want to look
• 28:20
  at here. And also Wisconsin six and two
• 28:22
  against the spread the last eight-year versus Michigan.
• 28:26
  So this is it for Wisconsin. I think they they they just, you
• 28:30
  know, with their run defense, they've allowed the fewest
• 28:32
  rushing yards. They're going to come after the
• 28:35
  Michigan quarterback and try to make something happen early.
• 28:37
  I think Michigan wins this game 30 to 14, but I'm going to take
• 28:41
  Wisconsin here and hold my nose grabbing the points we.
• 28:43
  Continue in the Big 10, Michigan State makes their way over to
• 28:46
  Lincoln Huskers 11 point choice in this one.
• 28:51
  Yeah, Nebraska, you know, coming off the by, you would think in
• 28:55
  year 3 they would really get the offense going and, and this very
• 28:58
  well could be the game here. And year 3 Matt rules teams, his
• 29:02
  offenses at Temple and Baylor started kicking into high gear.
• 29:07
  It might also take a couple weeks.
• 29:08
  I still don't think the talent at running back and receiver is
• 29:12
  great. Both quarterbacks have done well
• 29:14
  on both teams here. Both starting quarterbacks have
• 29:17
  combined for 20 touchdown passes versus just two interceptions.
• 29:21
  So unless Michigan State turns the ball over 3 or 4 times, I
• 29:25
  think they're going to be in this game here.
• 29:27
  So I'd like to see Michigan State, you know, open it up here
• 29:33
  and maybe try a trick play or two.
• 29:35
  They've been successful in the past doing that.
• 29:37
  Not sure yet with this coaching regime, but they got to do
• 29:40
  something to play and put the pressure on Nebraska.
• 29:43
  I think Nebraska wins 313124, but I'm taking the points here
• 29:47
  also in the Spartans. All right, Texas Tech.
• 29:50
  By a lot of People's Choice is the best team in the Big 12
• 29:52
  currently. Houston was off to a great
• 29:55
  start. Texas Tech is on the road just
• 29:57
  under a 2 touchdown Rd. Favorite the number 12 right
• 30:00
  now. How do you see this one, Lee?
• 30:03
  So here's what's interesting. Top six teams in NIL, Texas,
• 30:07
  Texas Tech #2 this year, Ohio State, Oregon, and then there's
• 30:11
  pretty much a tie with Miami. Texas A&M only lost a combined
• 30:15
  one game. That's it.
• 30:17
  Why? Because Texas played Ohio State,
• 30:20
  if you got money, and if you watch the Texas Tech defensive
• 30:23
  line, they used to be horrific. They used to get blown off the
• 30:26
  ball, couldn't stop anyone. They got 4 transfer defensive
• 30:31
  lineman, the best players off of Stanford, UCF, Northern Ella,
• 30:36
  and Northern Illinois and Georgia Tech.
• 30:38
  Go back and watch the Utah game. They dominated the line of
• 30:41
  scrimmage. They've held opponents to 45
• 30:43
  points in four games. They held Utah to 10 points and
• 30:47
  held their star quarterback who runs like crazy, took 27 yards
• 30:52
  rushing. So this team is different right
• 30:55
  now. They have talent.
• 30:56
  They even won that game in Utah by 24 points for the backup
• 31:00
  quarterback playing more than half the game.
• 31:02
  So Houston's best win was over Colorado.
• 31:05
  That's right, two and three Colorado that only beat Delaware
• 31:09
  and Wyoming and they have a common opponent here, Oregon
• 31:12
  State. Houston survived and overtime
• 31:15
  2724 win and then Tech blew him out 4514.
• 31:19
  So I I think Tech is rolling here unless Connor Wegmans has
• 31:24
  has a a lights out game here, the Cougars are in trouble.
• 31:28
  This is like going into a gunfight here with a knife.
• 31:31
  I like Tech 3821 and we wrap. It up with your five pick pack
• 31:35
  of picks with the local game. Iowa State makes the way out to
• 31:39
  Cincinnati. Boy been interesting following
• 31:41
  this betting line. Iowa State dealing with both
• 31:44
  store starting quarterbacks out with ACL tears.
• 31:47
  Been some movement this week in the market.
• 31:48
  What do you see? Yeah, so I've been.
• 31:52
  Watching Cincinnati watch that, even from the start of the year,
• 31:54
  I watch that Nebraska game, I just felt they need to get over
• 31:57
  the hump and once they got a big win, lookout, they're going to
• 32:00
  be tough. Three transfer receivers, all of
• 32:03
  them are really good. They would play at any program.
• 32:08
  They're that next level guys. So they're getting a lot of
• 32:11
  confidence finally and playing with that too.
• 32:14
  We're talking about guys that were first big team, a Big 12 or
• 32:18
  second team Big 12 last year. It's going to be really tough to
• 32:22
  compensate that. So I just think the Cincinnati
• 32:25
  offense here averaging 8.3 yards per play is a tough stop here.
• 32:31
  I'm going to keep rolling with Cincinnati.
• 32:33
  They knock off Iowa State here, 30 to 24, your game of the week.
• 32:37

  Their defensive lineman who looks like a pro to me.
• 33:48
  I mean, he's he's he's a great player.

  I think it. Was let me.

• 38:22
  No, nor am I I'm. It's 50.

  It's 55. No 55 1/2.
• 38:26
  Yeah, it opened it. What?
• 38:27
  Did it open at 51 1/2? So it's gone up, then the score.
• 38:31
  Cincinnati's going to score in his score.
• 38:33
  You're a believer. In Soresby I am I'm.
• 38:35
  A believer in the Iowa State's not having the corners there.
• 38:38
  I think they're still going to play them.
• 38:39
  They're not playing. 9:00 and 11:00 No, that's true.
• 38:42
  That's true, but but what if there's another injury?
• 38:47
  What if somebody needs to come up?
• 38:48
  Betty Nagoya. Is he ready?
• 38:50
  Coffee's still on the injury report, by the way.
• 38:52
  I did see that. I I.
• 38:54
  Found the injury report. When it comes to Corleone, he's
• 38:57
  questionable. So they got what?
• 38:59
  About 10 guys listed out, 24689 out.
• 39:03
  Yeah, Corleone, who did not play and I think he's a pro.
• 39:06
  I've stayed. On the other hand, how many they
• 39:07
  got out? A dozen.
• 39:08
  Oh yeah, a whole bunch. Questionable 2 kickers. 2
• 39:12
  Kickers. Dominic Orange is probable.
• 39:14
  That's good news. I think Lemos was a.
• 39:15
  Guy that maybe we thought could be part of it.
• 39:17
  Well, he's hurt. Yeah.
• 39:19
  You know, Cummings Coleman, they love.
• 39:21
  He's on the interview. Yeah, he is.
• 39:23
  You mentioned coffee. He's trying to come back so.
• 39:26
  It's Taylor Nagoye. Oh my God.
• 39:30
  Yeah. Gets scary in a hurry.
• 39:33
  It does. It's here.
• 39:35
  And they've got some. And Trey Bell, Yeah, well, who's
• 39:37
  our favorite? They've got some, dude.
• 39:40
  They've got some quarterbacks coming up, too, that they're
• 39:42
  going to have to, I think the big 12th, chock full of quarters
• 39:44
  it is. We'll see where it goes.
• 39:46
  But I heard a stat today, Scott Nach told me this, and this blew
• 39:51
  me away. In their last 21 games, Iowa
• 39:55
  State's 18 and 3 Iowa State. Yeah, right.
• 40:00
  I mean, that's unbelievable where they've come from.
• 40:03
  My God. Now it also helps the.
• 40:05
  League they play in OK still but 18.
• 40:07
  They're they're punching now. At their weight, sure that.
• 40:10
  Helps. 18 and threes. 18 and three, this is not the Big 12
• 40:13
  basketball league. No, no it's not.
• 40:15
  But still there's a lot of parody and to be 18 and three I
• 40:20
  that gets your attention. There was some bad falls for
• 40:24
  Iowa State football in my 30 year career.
• 40:27
  We got to talk about them again with our goal is to keep an
• 40:29
  audience. That hasn't been the case the
• 40:31
  last half of it anyway. Our 2 is next.
• 40:34
  Adam Rittenberg kicks it off Steve Sipple on Nebraska Miller
• 40:38
  and conditon I've.
