David Eickholt talks Hawkeyes, Packers Season Recap with Dave Sinykin & Trent's Picks presented by Circa Sports · The Lunch Rush with Trent Condon

• 0:04
  Mary Condon, welcome back Iowa Sports Radio Network boy shares
• 0:08
  had a long career, hasn't she? This isn't I.
• 0:11
  Didn't say what, just making a point.
• 0:14
  Dua Lipa is the share of this generation.
• 0:17
  I OK, I don't know. Dua Loopa do a leap, Dua Lipa.
• 0:21
  But somebody saw her up close and personal.
• 0:25
  I'm guessing it must be David Eichel.
• 0:26
  That's the reason you're playing this music.
• 0:28
  Hello, David Eichel. Trenton.
• 0:30
  Ken, How are you, Sir? I'm doing well, guys.
• 0:34
  And actually, this is perfect time because there are some
• 0:37
  breaking news for Iowa football that just came out about 45
• 0:40
  seconds ago. Lay it on us.
• 0:42
  The hell with Sharon. Do a leap.
• 0:43
  So, according to CBS Sports's Matt Zennett, Chris Pelosi is
• 0:49
  going to be the new special teams coordinator.
• 0:52
  Trent like that, do you right? Yes, that is a name.
• 0:55
  He was what with the staff a while ago, came back as a
• 0:58
  analyst this past season. Do I got the timeline right
• 1:00
  here, David? Yes, yeah, I'm, I'm pulling up
• 1:04
  his profile right now. Actually, Elliot and I just
• 1:06
  talked about our podcast. I posted about 30 minutes ago
• 1:09
  and he called it, he said that was the name to watch.
• 1:11
  So he got to give my colleague here some crap for that.
• 1:15
  But yeah, Chris, he was the analyst this past season for
• 1:19
  Iowa, but he has numerous experience across college
• 1:23
  football. I believe he has some NFL
• 1:24
  experience as well. He's coached special teams
• 1:27
  before. So this just seems like kind of
• 1:29
  a slam dunk. How many other guys were in the
• 1:32
  running? Any idea?
• 1:35
  You know, I think Brock Sherman probably got an interview, and
• 1:38
  it's funny because I remember mentioning you guys last week
• 1:40
  that Miles Taylor might be a name to watch.
• 1:42
  And now ironically, he's actually the new safeties coach
• 1:45
  at the University of Nebraska as of yesterday, according to Matt
• 1:49
  Rule. That's kind of been swept under
• 1:51
  the radar since Dylan Rayola is now backing up another Big 10
• 1:55
  quarterback, which did not have that on my.
• 1:58
  No, but you know what, he's got that injury, right and that
• 2:01
  might that's got to be play a big role in the fact that he's
• 2:05
  but he break his leg. Was that what it was?
• 2:07
  Broken leg or? I think it was a fractured
• 2:10
  fibula, you. Think so, yeah.
• 2:13
  It's a painful injury for sure, but I think he's supposed to be
• 2:16
  clear in the spring. I really don't think that that
• 2:18
  was going to scare too many people away.
• 2:21
  I just think that, you know, his recruitment for being a five
• 2:24
  star was so under the radar. It feels like in this transfer
• 2:27
  portal cycle, it's just their rumblings and all of a sudden
• 2:29
  it's like, oh, he's going to Oregon.
• 2:32
  Yeah, Fairpoints and here we are.
• 2:34
  Yeah, that's incredibly. That will be something down the
• 2:37
  road. Obviously we'll get to and kind
• 2:39
  of those offseason topics to the portal for Iowa.
• 2:41
  They have got 11 guys that have been committed.
• 2:45
  It's been a little bit drier here leading up to tomorrow's
• 2:48
  deadline for people to enter into the portal.
• 2:52
  They're still doing work. What's the latest on the portal
• 2:54
  front for Iowa? Any news, any information, Any
• 2:57
  guys that are still visiting at this point in time?
• 3:01
  Yeah. So I mean, I think Iowa's done
• 3:02
  terrific job in this portal cycle, guys.
• 3:04
  And it's been very interesting to kind of watch the way they've
• 3:07
  approached everything because you look at the list, they only
• 3:10
  have one, I believe only one of their current commit only has
• 3:13
  one year of eligibility remaining, and that's Bryce
• 3:15
  Stevenson, the Holy Cross defensive tackle.
• 3:18
  But everybody else has at least two or three years of
• 3:20
  eligibility. So it does seem like Iowa's
• 3:23
  going after high level playmakers from the FCS or low
• 3:26
  FBS level saying, hey, look, we're going to give you every
• 3:29
  chance to be able to go out there and compete your first
• 3:31
  season and then maybe they'll break out in that second year
• 3:34
  outside. I think I think Tony Diaz was an
• 3:36
  absolute steal by the way. He I think he's going to be Iowa
• 3:40
  second league receiver next season.
• 3:42
  It will not surprise me. I think he's that good.
• 3:45
  But Iowa right now, I believe they have an SMU wide receiver
• 3:49
  transfer on campus. Day did not see any game action
• 3:53
  last season. I believe he's got three years
• 3:54
  of eligibility remaining, but he's going to be more than
• 3:58
  likely prefer to walk on. I still expect to hear some news
• 4:02
  regarding a punter here sometime in the next couple of days.
• 4:06
  And I do think that I was still scouring maybe another defensive
• 4:09
  line commit at this point. I think the secondary is pretty
• 4:13
  well set, but they might take another cornerback.
• 4:16
  But as I said, I think Iowa's done a terrific job in this
• 4:19
  portal cycle and they have some impact guys that now be all that
• 4:22
  we have a chance to to compete next season.
• 4:25
  I don't know how accurate this is.
• 4:26
  Would have gone to a 24/7 Sports.
• 4:28
  You guys do a phenomenal job with the portal.
• 4:30
  Apparently there were 10,576 that entered the portal as of
• 4:34
  Wednesday morning. There are still, and it closes
• 4:37
  tomorrow, 6846 players that enter the portal looking for
• 4:41
  their new team. They're not going to fill all of
• 4:44
  those spots, which is just unbelievable to me.
• 4:48
  Some of the bad advice and some of the poor decisions that
• 4:51
  ultimately will come back I think to haunt some of these
• 4:54
  guys. I mean, it's just not
• 4:56
  sustainable, right? I think everybody under the sun
• 4:59
  knows that. But we continue to kind of push
• 5:01
  it down the line. I do think once you get the five
• 5:04
  year, eventually it's going to be you get 5 years to play
• 5:07
  college sports. That's what it's going to be.
• 5:10
  A big reason why that the coaches now have stayed at a red
• 5:13
  shirt year should be 9 games is because the NCAA is going to
• 5:17
  eventually say, well sorry, 75% of the season.
• 5:20
  Why don't we just make it 5 years?
• 5:22
  That's what the coaches want. That's what Kirk Ferris has
• 5:24
  wanted for a long time. No red shirts.
• 5:27
  You get 1 transfer. That's what needs to happen.
• 5:30
  That's what's going to level everything out.
• 5:32
  And I do think eventually we're going to get there.
• 5:35
  But I also think can that it's like 38.9% of FBS college
• 5:40
  players there in the portal. I give some of absolutely absurd
• 5:44
  number and there's going to be a lot of guys in that portal.
• 5:47
  As you mentioned, their career is over and they don't even know
• 5:50
  it. No.
• 5:52
  It's sad, it's a sad reality of this and people chasing money,
• 5:55
  chasing bags, having agents that are rogue agents many times
• 5:59
  telling them things that aren't exactly true.
• 6:01
  Definitely a lot of negativity out there.
• 6:04
  David, when you go through, you mentioned Tony Diaz, how about
• 6:06
  on the defensive side? I'm really intrigued with a lot
• 6:09
  of those three different safeties that come in.
• 6:11
  Brown looks to be maybe the most ready made after what he did at
• 6:14
  James Madison this past season. And maybe the biggest question
• 6:17
  is what are they going to do with Zach Luttmer?
• 6:19
  He played corner a bunch this season.
• 6:21
  He can play cash, he can play both safety positions.
• 6:23
  Is that kind of the key to this all?
• 6:25
  Maybe finding the best position for him and then filling in the
• 6:28
  gaps for there? Or let's fill in the gaps first
• 6:31
  and we can put Luttmer wherever we want because he's that good.
• 6:34
  I think it's still in the gas and Pope Luttner wherever, I
• 6:37
  mean he's Cooper de Jean Light or as Mark Granowski called him,
• 6:40
  what the Walmart Cooper did or the Kmart or something like
• 6:43
  that. I'll tell you what, that's not
• 6:46
  that any version of being Cooper de Jean.
• 6:47
  I think you're doing pretty well for yourself, right?
• 6:50
  So look, I think you get Tyler Brown.
• 6:53
  I think he's a perfect fit for strong safety.
• 6:55
  He tests out incredibly well. Pro Football Focus, he's great
• 6:58
  and run support was a difference maker. 80 tackles last season
• 7:02
  for James Madison. I told you guys last week, I
• 7:05
  love Anthony Hawkins. I mean, AT-632-O5, you can't
• 7:08
  teach that size. I think he has a high level
• 7:11
  capability. What more I think makes a lot of
• 7:14
  sense at the cash spot. But I also know if they can't
• 7:17
  get a lockdown guy on the opposite corner of Deshaun Lean,
• 7:20
  if Deshaun Lean, he doesn't take that next step.
• 7:22
  We know the value of what a lockdown corner brings to Iowa's
• 7:26
  defense. So do you throw a lot more out
• 7:27
  there? Do you throw maybe Rashad
• 7:29
  Godfrey at the cash position with what he did, especially in
• 7:32
  that showing against Nebraska and how hard he can hit his
• 7:36
  playmaking ability? Do you throw Jalen Watson in
• 7:39
  that cash position? I think it's going to be this.
• 7:42
  They filled in the gaps they're trying to install.
• 7:45
  I don't want to say a new defense, but you think about how
• 7:47
  many guys they're replacing, right?
• 7:49
  I mean, lose Cohen, lose Xavier, lose TJ, lose all three-year
• 7:52
  linebackers. You lose multiple guys on the
• 7:55
  defensive line. Like I think there's going to be
• 7:56
  8 new starters next season for Iowa's defense.
• 8:00
  I don't have to listen from me, but I think it's either 8 or 9
• 8:03
  and Lutmer's going to be one of the guys that's going to be have
• 8:05
  to be the leader of that defense.
• 8:06
  So whatever the coaches say, you already know what he's going to
• 8:09
  say. Yes coach, I got it.
• 8:12
  That's exactly why I think it's going to happen.
• 8:14
  Absolutely. Let's switch to basketball.
• 8:16
  If it would have should have last night that marquee win that
• 8:19
  it has eluded them so far. Look, for a while like maybe it
• 8:22
  was going to happen last night. They kept exchanging baskets.
• 8:25
  You knew that somebody was going to blink at some point.
• 8:27
  I was had a couple of misses Purdue continue to make and they
• 8:31
  would eventually wrestle the lead away from them and go on to
• 8:33
  win by by 7. But look, I was in the game.
• 8:38
  There's Ben McCollum will say the same thing, No moral
• 8:40
  victories, but they're they're close.
• 8:43
  I think they're close to picking off one of those teams, getting
• 8:46
  one of those victories that so far they've been unable to find.
• 8:51
  At the risk of sounding pretentious, guys, I was nervous
• 8:54
  for Iowa when Braden Smith had zero points at half.
• 8:57
  Yeah, because you knew exactly what he's capable of.
• 9:00
  He's the best point guard in America.
• 9:02
  Remember last year, I know it's two different systems, two
• 9:04
  different teams, but last year Iowa was looking like they were
• 9:07
  going to knock off Purdue in in Carver and Braden Smith went
• 9:11
  bonkers in that second-half. So it just kind of felt like
• 9:14
  it's almost a little bit of the tale of of yesterday and Ben
• 9:17
  McCollum, be the first to tell you, you can't give up 73% from
• 9:21
  the field in the second-half on the road against the top five
• 9:24
  team. You're you're just not going to
• 9:25
  win, right? They made nine in the last 10
• 9:28
  shots. I know some people are talking
• 9:30
  about fishing. Yeah, there's a handful of bad
• 9:32
  calls. They lost because they can't
• 9:33
  stop Purdue. That's exactly why they lost.
• 9:35
  I thought they did a good job on the glass.
• 9:37
  I thought that starts two things. 1, he has to avoid foul
• 9:41
  trouble. He he just can't.
• 9:43
  He's too good. He's played too much basketball
• 9:45
  to get in this much foul trouble, especially early.
• 9:47
  And two, I thought there were two horrible shots from in it
• 9:50
  last night down the stretch. That's something to where, you
• 9:54
  know, we talked about the best player getting the ball and
• 9:56
  taking over. And there's a level to that
• 9:58
  where I agree. But it's almost like in those
• 10:01
  moments where Bennett just doesn't have his eyes on
• 10:04
  anything other than the basket and he misses a better maybe
• 10:07
  shot opportunity when guys around him were hitting threes.
• 10:10
  Cale Combs had four threes last night.
• 10:12
  He didn't get a look. Tavion Banks had that great shot
• 10:15
  from darn near 30 feet do at least give Iowa a chance.
• 10:19
  But I think that search has to be better and ultimately guys,
• 10:23
  Alvaro full Garris has to be better.
• 10:25
  That's the key to unlocking and getting over that hump.
• 10:28
  Alvaro Full Garris has to be Iowa's second best player if
• 10:31
  they want to knock off some of these teams.
• 10:33
  A lot of talk after the game, McCullum mentioned defensively
• 10:36
  the bags just not playing good and and pick a roll coverage
• 10:39
  that defensive end of the floor. You mentioned what Purdue did
• 10:42
  offensively late to run away and get the victory in this one.
• 10:45
  David, I want to go this direction with you though.
• 10:47
  When you look look at this squad and what's still in front of
• 10:49
  them, Indiana on the road, but that's a winnable game.
• 10:52
  There's a lot of winnable ones in front of them.
• 10:54
  But the quality victories, you get Nebraska twice.
• 10:57
  He thought, well, I'd probably get a split out of that coming
• 10:59
  into the year, lose over there. Well, not so fast after what we
• 11:02
  seen Nebraska do you get Purdue? They already lost to him there
• 11:05
  and they come to Carver. Certainly not going to be an
• 11:07
  easy game in terms of quality victories.
• 11:10
  Is there a little bit of concern here?
• 11:12
  They don't have a quad one victory yet and you look through
• 11:14
  they'll be wins, they'll be plenty of wins where they'll be
• 11:16
  quality wins out of this group. I think that's the big question
• 11:21
  mark. But the other side of it too is
• 11:22
  Iowa's been extremely competitive in every single game
• 11:26
  except the Michigan State win. Like even the Illinois won.
• 11:28
  The Illinois loss was deflating, but they came back, they fought,
• 11:32
  they got the crowd involved. Like you felt like they
• 11:34
  potentially could have picked them off, right?
• 11:37
  I think there's a level to that where this team's going to start
• 11:40
  to figure it out. And I'll be honest, you look at
• 11:41
  the losses the at Minnesota 1, still the worst one, but by far
• 11:45
  to me, right? But these next seven games,
• 11:49
  there's a very realistic chance to me that Iowa can go five and
• 11:53
  two over the next 7. And I think there'll be a couple
• 11:55
  quality wins in there. And if you go out there and you
• 11:58
  beat, you know, Indiana by I'm just throwing a number out there
• 12:01
  like 15 winning on the road in the big 10 matters.
• 12:03
  If Iowa picks off a couple of those, I think we'll have a
• 12:06
  chance if they get the five and two over the next seven, I think
• 12:10
  for the most part, people level it out and I think there'll be
• 12:12
  some rationale. But the other counter argument
• 12:15
  is, guys, the bubble sucks. The bubble sucks this season.
• 12:19
  So I was going to have that every single chance, avoid the
• 12:22
  bad losses, and it's going to ultimately be enough to put them
• 12:25
  in the tournament. It turned out I just spent a
• 12:27
  couple of minutes on officiating and no, we certainly weren't
• 12:30
  blaming that on the outcome of the game as well.
• 12:33
  I I couldn't I can't get past the Kupper Kotch, you know, put
• 12:36
  his arms out to not let that guy try.
• 12:38
  And that was the big fella, right?
• 12:39
  It was Clough. Yeah, Clough was trying to run
• 12:41
  through. But the one I don't I that we
• 12:43
  didn't bring up and I I would love to get some clarity.
• 12:46
  So Trey Kaufman, Rens laying on the floor with the basketball,
• 12:49
  remember this in the first half and it was under Iowa's basket
• 12:53
  and he didn't want to give it up.
• 12:56
  And then a little skirmish, very little skirmish, and double
• 12:59
  technicals were called What? What was up with that?
• 13:02
  I didn't see any pushing whatsoever.
• 13:06
  It it was soft. That happens in every single
• 13:09
  YMCA League game. That happens at every level all
• 13:12
  the time. I look, ultimately I get it.
• 13:15
  It's a psychological battle, right?
• 13:17
  Kaufman Ren didn't want to give up the ball.
• 13:18
  It was Iowa ball. Alvaro was trying to get the
• 13:21
  ball. Kaufman Ren, I think, overly
• 13:23
  sold the movement on his body. You see him kind of push himself
• 13:26
  up with his legs. Those are two very competitive,
• 13:30
  very good players going at it. I thought it was ridiculous.
• 13:33
  They spent that long observing that.
• 13:35
  And I thought double technical fouls are the dumbest.
• 13:38
  Ridiculous. Yeah.
• 13:39
  In college basketball, in basketball in general.
• 13:41
  It's stupid. It accomplished this absolutely
• 13:44
  nothing. And I don't think it was
• 13:45
  Kaufman, Red or Fulgaris that were that were teed up.
• 13:48
  I think it was two other players, wasn't it?
• 13:50
  It was another player for Purdue and I think Fulgaris.
• 13:52
  It was Fulgaris was it? Kaufman ran on the Unless they
• 13:55
  changed the official score book from last night, but I thought
• 14:00
  that was I'll I'll double check it, but it was initially called
• 14:03
  on full Garris and Kaufman and I thought it was stupid.
• 14:06
  It let the boys play it. Might have been Harris Harris
• 14:10
  for for. Anyways, not that big a deal,
• 14:12
  just drove me nuts anyways. Opportunity against Indiana, an
• 14:16
  Indiana team that is really in the same boat as Iowa, right?
• 14:19
  They're all right, they're pretty good.
• 14:20
  They're tournament team, but not sure if there's more to the
• 14:23
  Hoosiers than what it is. But you couple it with Darren
• 14:26
  Devries, a lot of people wanted him to be the Hawkeye coach.
• 14:30
  On the other side, there are plenty of Hoosier fans.
• 14:32
  They wanted Ben McCollum. It's going to be an interesting
• 14:34
  1-2 coaches that were kind of in the same boat a year ago back in
• 14:37
  March, and now suddenly they're going to be facing off over at
• 14:40
  Assembly Hall. Do you know how upset I am that
• 14:44
  Darren Devries is not coming to Carver season?
• 14:47
  I thought that was such a missed opportunity by the league.
• 14:50
  Like, I get it, but the storylines behind that, that
• 14:53
  would have sold out. The booze would have been so
• 14:56
  loud for debris. It made so much sense.
• 14:59
  I'm right there with you. I think they're very similar
• 15:01
  teams. I think Tucker Debris has been
• 15:03
  OK this season. They have a couple, you know,
• 15:05
  big shooters. I just think the big thing is
• 15:07
  can Iowa go on the road and close out a game?
• 15:09
  Like that's the biggest issue with this team.
• 15:12
  Go back to last night, Trent, like they only Iowa was only out
• 15:14
  rebounded by three and Purdue is a massive basketball team.
• 15:19
  Iowa's going to have to go in there.
• 15:20
  They've got to learn how to take over in a hostile environment.
• 15:23
  They got to start fast and that's the one thing I took
• 15:25
  away. Also, last night Iowa started
• 15:27
  the ball fast offensively and that's been a real big struggle.
• 15:30
  But I'm right there with you. And again, if you could ever go
• 15:33
  in the at Indiana and escape with a win, it's never a bad
• 15:37
  win. I don't care how bad Indiana is.
• 15:39
  That, to me is a quality win. Do either of you 2 basketball
• 15:43
  aficionados know why the seemingly college basketball the
• 15:48
  Power 4-5 have given up Thursdays?
• 15:51
  They just don't play on Thursday anymore.
• 15:53
  Well, that used to be the PAC Twelves Night.
• 15:55
  Yeah, that's true. It always was what but the but I
• 15:57
  would play some Thursday games didn't and maybe they do have
• 16:00
  some on the sky. I was looking ahead to tonight.
• 16:02
  There's no games. I mean, there's a bunch of
• 16:04
  games, but not involved in anybody I want to watch, right?
• 16:08
  But it's just like Thursday would be AI would think at night
• 16:12
  that they would want to get involved in.
• 16:15
  Well, and the Big 10 pretty much plays games all the time, but
• 16:18
  the ACC doesn't, the SEC doesn't.
• 16:20
  The Big 12 doesn't normally play Thursday, so I think that's the
• 16:23
  reason the Big 10 had kind of grabbed a little bit of that.
• 16:25
  Now they got just the sheer volume of teams right, but for
• 16:28
  the most right it was. A PAC 12 thing, right?
• 16:30
  Yeah, right. It was PAC 12.
• 16:31
  Yeah, that's probably the reason because that conference is no
• 16:35
  longer. No, it is not.
• 16:36
  Not as it is. Yeah, but but not and Morgan.
• 16:40
  Street, get the Alliance. Guys, Oh my God.
• 16:43
  Long live the Alliance. For.
• 16:45
  Sure. The alliance.
• 16:45
  Hey, David, over on the women's basketball side, a match up
• 16:48
  tonight against Oregon, it's going to get a whole lot more
• 16:51
  difficult. Two home games, 2 very winnable
• 16:53
  games, Iowa, a project about four point favorite against
• 16:56
  Oregon and save against Michigan State.
• 16:57
  And then it gets even deeper from there.
• 16:59
  This feels like when you're kind of looking at those stretches of
• 17:01
  the season, this might be the most important one.
• 17:04
  If at minimum, the Iowa women get to get homecourt for the
• 17:07
  first two rounds, get a top four seed at Carver and have that
• 17:10
  opportunity, it feels like this stretch here the next couple of
• 17:13
  weeks is going to matter most. Yeah, you talk about getting the
• 17:16
  chance to get quality wins. Look at the women's schedule.
• 17:18
  Like Oregon's know as a mid Big 10 team and they're 14 and 4.
• 17:22
  Then they get they get Maryland, they get Michigan State.
• 17:25
  I mean, they they have to find a way to split these next like
• 17:28
  four or five games. They're playing a lot of ranked
• 17:30
  teams. The only other unranked team
• 17:32
  they play in this stretch tramp is USC and there's so much
• 17:37
  talent on USC minus Juju Watkins, of course, with
• 17:40
  sideline with her injury. This is an important stretch,
• 17:43
  especially from the standpoint Iowa should have lost against
• 17:46
  Indiana. They had a terrific second-half.
• 17:48
  They held Indiana like 4 points in the third quarter.
• 17:51
  But it was they were so bad offensively, especially
• 17:54
  starting. Iowa's got to get it done
• 17:56
  tonight. It's going to be a late game.
• 17:58
  I think it's eight O 5 tip on then as you mentioned, that next
• 18:01
  stretch, boy, they better pull it together.
• 18:04
  They can't turn the ball over as much as they have and they have
• 18:07
  to get the crowd involved right away.
• 18:09
  These are this is a game tonight where I don't want to say you
• 18:11
  can't lose, but there's a lot more pressure on the next two
• 18:15
  weeks if they lose tonight. Does the Big 10 win the national
• 18:19
  championship Monday, or is there an upset brewing?
• 18:23
  I would take Indiana -18 1/2. I think Indiana's by far the
• 18:29
  best team. I think they're going to
• 18:30
  absolutely crush Miami, and Miami has injuries on the
• 18:33
  defensive side and it's already tough enough to even try to stop
• 18:37
  stop Indiana on offense. Somehow Iowa did for the most
• 18:40
  part. I would.
• 18:42
  I would hammer Indiana spread. Good stuff, David Eichold,
• 18:46
  Hawkeye Insider, part of 24/7 Sports.
• 18:48
  Thanks for what you do for us, David.
• 18:49
  Appreciate you coming on. Have a great rest of your week.
• 18:52
  You too guys always appreciate you.
• 18:54
  Take care. Good to talk to you David.
• 18:55
  I cold so we check in on the Hawks with David I cold.
• 18:59
  I just had to pop up in front of me.
• 19:01
  Wish I could find it again. I know this is not not anywhere
• 19:05
  on your radar yet, but this World Baseball Classic, have you
• 19:08
  seen the line up for the States? No, I mean just the dudes that
• 19:12
  are playing in this thing. How are they going to lose the
• 19:14
  game? They will.
• 19:16
  They will. Yeah, but I mean, my good God
• 19:18
  talk about it and All Star, who's going to start game one
• 19:22
  skiing school ball? Well, what are the other teams
• 19:25
  too? I mean, I'm going to guess the
• 19:27
  Dominican teams can be pretty good.
• 19:29
  Yeah, right. They'll be pretty good.
• 19:30
  But these guys, my good God, where's their weakness anyways?
• 19:35
  When is that March? I think it's March.
• 19:37
  I'm I'm out on baseball. 12. No.
• 19:41
  Like MLB baseball? Yeah, what?
• 19:44
  What's there to be excited about?
• 19:47
  Well, you're a Twins fan, right? Yeah, your Twins fan.
• 19:52
  It's going to take a lot of coercing to get me excited about
• 19:55
  baseball this year and probably next year, likely the year
• 19:59
  after. And then at that point, maybe
• 20:01
  the rebuild will be happening and they'll start to see some
• 20:03
  fruits of the labor. But this is the reality.
• 20:06
  And you live in the haves category.
• 20:08
  I know you, Blue Jays. Oh, they get left at the altar
• 20:10
  all the time. Come on.
• 20:11
  What? They have the third fourth
• 20:13
  biggest payroll in baseball last year.
• 20:16
  Was it that big? Yeah.
• 20:17
  It was huge. And there and maybe Kyle Tucker
• 20:19
  signs today. They very well could get that.
• 20:22
  Yeah, You live in a different category than I do than White
• 20:25
  Sox fans do, than Brewers fans do.
• 20:28
  No, they've been successful. Yeah, no, they have.
• 20:30
  They've got there, but I'm able to finish the deal.
• 20:33
  And the new reality that is going to be hitting Cardinal
• 20:35
  fans now? Oh my God.
• 20:36
  See, they're. Well, here's something that'll
• 20:38
  interest you When it comes to baseball, win totals are out.
• 20:41
  Oh yeah, and the Cardinals have the lowest win total in the
• 20:45
  mayor in the in the National League Central.
• 20:46
  Not, not surprised. Not the Reds or the Pirates.
• 20:49
  The red birds. Reds made a run last year at the
• 20:52
  end of the year we saw the Pirates at times show a little
• 20:54
  bit of hope and of course Skins at the headliner out of that
• 20:57
  group. Not surprised by it one little
• 20:59
  bit. All right, take your time out.
• 21:01
  We'll come back. We'll talk to Dave syndicate,
• 21:03
  Green Bay Packers, zonecoverage.com.
• 21:05
  But he's in Indiana grad pick his brain on that as well.
• 21:09
  Miller and Condon talking sports with you on the Iowa Sports
• 21:12
  Radio Network. By 1:30, Miller in Condon, Iowa
• 21:26
  Sports Radio Network, We're with you until the top of the hour.
• 21:30
  Coming up next off the bench, Sean Roberts, Lucas Strain until
• 21:35
  5:00 Will Dave Sinican covers the Green Bay Packers has for
• 21:37
  decades. zonecoverage.com KFAN Packer preview on Sunday
• 21:43
  mornings also does this Saturday show and he's in Indiana grad.
• 21:46
  So we're going to double dip him on that.
• 21:48
  But Dave Trenton can thank you for coming on.
• 21:50
  I want to just put a bow on the Packer season.
• 21:53
  I I just you mean I go to the the first half of that football
• 21:56
  game. Green Bay just dominated with
• 21:58
  the exception of McManus missing at the end of the half after
• 22:01
  he'd made one and Johnson did get a a time out.
• 22:04
  So Mike made him kick again and it wasn't good.
• 22:07
  But I just, I, I can't get over the the tale of two halves and
• 22:11
  how bad it was offensively for Green Bay when they came out in
• 22:14
  the second-half. Three and out, three and out,
• 22:16
  one first down, punt, 3 and out. I can't get over how the switch
• 22:21
  flipped as quick as it did. Yeah, you're not alone, Ken.
• 22:27
  These are games I typically like to rewatch, and I chose not to
• 22:30
  even put my eyes on that second-half again because, yeah,
• 22:33
  it was absolutely stunning. And you know, on one hand, kudos
• 22:36
  to Dennis Salad and that defense making adjustments and bottling
• 22:40
  up the one game and then mucking things up.
• 22:42
  But man, the Packers did themselves no favors once again.
• 22:46
  And yeah, these, these playoff implosions are happening at a
• 22:50
  rate that is not healthy for Packer fans.
• 22:54
  It was ugly. Yeah, it was ugly on on all
• 22:57
  counts, surrendering 25 points in the fourth quarter of a
• 23:00
  playoff game. Yeah, you lost Edger and Cooper,
• 23:03
  who was having a career day. And you know, the Bears lose TJ
• 23:07
  Edwards and they get better. Green Bay loses Edger and Cooper
• 23:10
  and completely collapsed. So there's a lot of questions to
• 23:13
  be answered, and the organization is obviously
• 23:15
  working their way through the biggest one.
• 23:18
  But yeah, I didn't see that second-half coming.
• 23:21
  For Bears fans, 30 years they've been waiting to get Green Bay
• 23:25
  good. And I know it had to.
• 23:26
  I feel awfully good. But yeah, we're shaking our
• 23:28
  heads over here. When you look at what happened,
• 23:32
  the three and outs, what three of the first four drives, they
• 23:34
  went three and out I think 5 plays on the other one of those,
• 23:37
  it just, it was not good obviously.
• 23:40
  Does that just go to Lafleur? Is it the staff?
• 23:42
  How much goes to love? I mean, when you look back at
• 23:44
  that and just the way that the Bears changed, started applying
• 23:47
  more pressure, how much blame needs to go to the head coach,
• 23:49
  slash play caller and Lafleur? Yeah.
• 23:52
  I mean, ultimately, I think it is his job to figure it out.
• 23:55
  You know, if it the Bears made adjustments to correct what they
• 23:59
  were doing wrong in the run game in particular because Jordan
• 24:02
  Jacobs looked like, you know, early season Jacobs in the first
• 24:05
  half, he looked like he had all of his legs back.
• 24:08
  And that's the key to the Stackers offense.
• 24:10
  And when they they figured things out defensively and
• 24:13
  Lafleur didn't have a counter, Yeah, it's absolutely starts
• 24:17
  with him. You know, Green Bay lost their
• 24:19
  center Shawn Ryan at some point early in that game and not make
• 24:24
  a monk is coming in who's never played a game and he's got to
• 24:27
  make the calls. It certainly affected the
• 24:29
  offensive line. They weren't up for it.
• 24:31
  Not having Zach. Tom was a big loss heading into
• 24:34
  that game. When I heard he was inactive, I
• 24:36
  knew that was going to make things difficult.
• 24:38
  Green Bay's down, you know, 22 offensive lineman, that other
• 24:41
  two best guys in Jenkins and Tom and the just isn't there up
• 24:45
  front. And that was a big problem all
• 24:47
  season. But this game particularly to
• 24:49
  me, it does start and end with with Matt Lafleur not finding an
• 24:53
  answer and not using the clock correctly and really playing
• 24:57
  into the Bears hands with some of that play calling.
• 24:59
  Yeah, I like taking shots downfield.
• 25:01
  That's what the Packers offense is.
• 25:03
  But man, he he did Ben Johnson a lot of favours by lengthening
• 25:09
  that fourth quarter enough for the Bears to have enough
• 25:11
  possessions to steal it. I'm guessing Brandon McManus
• 25:14
  will never kick as a Packer again, and he shouldn't.
• 25:17
  He's probably come to the end. He's had a nice career, don't
• 25:19
  get me wrong, but boy, that was not the the way he wanted to go
• 25:23
  out and the way Packer fans wanted to see him go out.
• 25:25
  Speaking of going out, Matt Lafleur, is he going out there?
• 25:28
  Sounds like they're trying to extend him.
• 25:31
  Your thoughts on on the Floor with the contract talks
• 25:34
  apparently going on? Yeah, it's very interesting to
• 25:39
  see how this plays out because I think, you know, Green Bay would
• 25:42
  like to extend it maybe on a short 2 year extent.
• 25:45
  My guess, 2 year extension with the one year left that would
• 25:48
  give him three seasons, another two before he's a late duck
• 25:51
  again. It's a tough situation.
• 25:53
  We know we'd be a top candidate anywhere.
• 25:55
  His his record is, you know, unassailable, but he's two and
• 25:59
  three in the playoffs is a favorite.
• 26:01
  And ultimately as a Packer organization, you have to
• 26:04
  decide, you know, how how much do we value how great he is at
• 26:09
  developing his quarterback and his offense?
• 26:11
  But can he get you over the top in January?
• 26:14
  Does he have what it takes to, you know, rally his team and get
• 26:17
  them over the top? And then I think is what they're
• 26:19
  wrestling with And you pay him top dollar because he was not a
• 26:23
  highly compensated head coach. So I think the dollars are
• 26:26
  important. The years are important.
• 26:28
  I went on record the morning after the game that, you know, I
• 26:32
  have no problem with that moving on.
• 26:34
  At this point, you do stay up with a grain of salt because you
• 26:39
  know, this offense where Jordan Love is becoming, you know, is
• 26:42
  it the same if Lafleur is not there?
• 26:44
  I'm I'm not sure, but ultimately I would peruse what might be out
• 26:50
  there and see if it's time for a new voice.
• 26:53
  If we don't hear anything in the next 4872 hours, I'll be really
• 26:57
  surprised if he does come back. Ultimately you're going to lose
• 27:00
  out on guys if you're not in the cycle, so I think we'll go
• 27:04
  pretty quickly if they get a deal done.
• 27:06
  You know, one thing I mentioned on Monday is we know
• 27:09
  organizations obviously that have some woes come playoff
• 27:11
  time. Our rivals, the Vikings for both
• 27:14
  of us certainly know it even worse than we do.
• 27:16
  But yeah, the Packers have two Super Bowls during the last 30
• 27:19
  years. However, only one with Farf,
• 27:22
  only one with Rodgers. And you look through some of
• 27:24
  these playoff losses Saturday night, the latest example among
• 27:28
  them. But there's so many of them.
• 27:29
  2015 NFC title game on the 4th and 26th, giving up against the
• 27:33
  Eagles. The Denver Super Bowl going back
• 27:36
  to the 90s. Yeah, let's go back.
• 27:37
  There, you like that one a lot there There's you guys got a lot
• 27:41
  of scar tissue. Yeah, you got 2 Super Bowls, but
• 27:43
  boy, there is a lot of tough losses for this organization in
• 27:46
  playoffs. Yeah, I mean, the Seattle one in
• 27:49
  2014 is probably the ugliest and one that, you know, doesn't get
• 27:53
  thought of a lot. But for me, I was in the press
• 27:55
  box was the last game with fire of his quarterback against the
• 27:58
  Giants, where they were the one seed on a freezing night of
• 28:01
  Lambeau and lost the game in overtime.
• 28:04
  And at that point, you're thinking, well, that's the end
• 28:06
  of the fire of era. Are the Packers in purgatory now
• 28:09
  for the next two decades? You know, obviously not knowing
• 28:11
  what was to come. But, yeah, there's been a ton of
• 28:14
  it. I get that a lot from Viking
• 28:16
  fans. Congratulations, 30 years of
• 28:19
  Hall of Fame quarterbacks. You have two Super Bowls.
• 28:22
  I would sign up for that. Tell me up front I would take
• 28:26
  it. Drew Brees won one with the
• 28:28
  Saints. Peyton Manning won one with the
• 28:30
  Colts. It's not automatic when you have
• 28:33
  a Hall of Fame quarterback that you're guaranteed multiple Super
• 28:36
  Bowls. But yeah, the way some of those
• 28:38
  have gone down the the Tampa Bay game with Brady, where we're
• 28:42
  Green Bay just went into a fetal position and didn't deliver the
• 28:45
  knockout punch, Another knock against Lafleur in a key spot.
• 28:49
  Yeah, it is difficult because you like to dream about, man
• 28:53
  Aaron Rodgers probably should have won two or three of these
• 28:55
  things. And if not?
• 28:56
  For. Defense, special teams or weird?
• 29:00
  He probably would have, but I don't know, guys, I, I've been
• 29:04
  fortunate enough to be at both of those Packers Super Bowl
• 29:06
  wins. That's going to sustain me for a
• 29:08
  long time. I, I'm greedy like everybody.
• 29:11
  But that those were two nights I'll never forget.
• 29:13
  And, you know, I still like the fact that this is an
• 29:16
  organization that year in year out believes it can compete for
• 29:19
  Super Bowls and generally is playing in January.
• 29:22
  And that's, that's pretty fun as a Packer fan, you know, watching
• 29:25
  football. Yeah, no, no doubt about that.
• 29:27
  We'll get to your Indiana, your alma mater coming up here.
• 29:30
  I just, I just have one since I open the door with Aaron
• 29:33
  Rodgers. He said his name.
• 29:34
  Does it look to you like he's done, Dave?
• 29:37
  I mean, you went through it, that Willie or won't he?
• 29:39
  It's, I mean, it's Father Time catches up with everybody,
• 29:42
  seemingly. It seems like it's caught up
• 29:43
  with him. Is he done?
• 29:46
  I think he's done. I say that because it's really
• 29:48
  strange that Minnesota still might be a team that one more
• 29:52
  year for McCarthy to learn. And here comes Aaron Rodgers,
• 29:56
  who reportedly made it very clear he would have loved to
• 29:58
  have played here in 2025. If they can convince him to give
• 30:03
  it one more go, I wouldn't be shocked.
• 30:04
  But I can't think of another place, another situation that
• 30:08
  would fit everything that Aaron Rodgers would want.
• 30:11
  To me, he took his team to a division title, to a playoff
• 30:14
  game and played above average football.
• 30:17
  Feels like the right time to bow out.
• 30:19
  My guess is he does, but if he goes anywhere I'd just be the
• 30:23
  twin. Cities.
• 30:23
  No, I'm glad you brought that up.
• 30:24
  We can milk that for a few weeks.
• 30:27
  Absolutely good. Stuff.
• 30:28
  Now, what would sting more? What happened Saturday night
• 30:31
  against the Bears or Indiana on the precipice of a national
• 30:35
  championship? Falling.
• 30:36
  Going to Miami. Well, it's funny, last week at
• 30:40
  this time I said to myself that only one in my teams could win
• 30:44
  which which would I prefer? And in a heartbeat to my head,
• 30:47
  it was Indiana. Because this story is just so
• 30:50
  remarkable. And you know, Green Bay had
• 30:52
  hopes, but the dreams of a Super Bowl seemed a bit far fetched
• 30:55
  with all the injuries. What Indiana's doing is just
• 30:57
  been obviously remarkable and for someone that, you know, was
• 31:01
  in school there 40 years ago and has put two kids through there
• 31:04
  and have seen a lot of bad football over the years.
• 31:06
  When or so and Sam Whites were coaching when I was there to
• 31:11
  early, you know, ball games the last four or five years before
• 31:15
  Signetti showed up where nobody was in the stands against teams
• 31:18
  like Charlotte, it's remarkable where they are.
• 31:22
  So, yeah, you know, it was certainly hurt Monday night.
• 31:25
  I wouldn't be completely devastated that what this team
• 31:28
  has accomplished the last two weeks in just routing Bama,
• 31:32
  beating Ohio State, Bama and then of course, last week.
• 31:36
  It's just crazy. Yeah, it would be terrible.
• 31:39
  You'd lose to Miami in their home stadium.
• 31:41
  And but no, I would not be broken hearted.
• 31:43
  This this story has been just so fun to watch from a guy that
• 31:47
  went there that I'll take whatever happens Monday.
• 31:50
  But that said, there's no way Miami's beating Indiana Monday
• 31:53
  night. Guys, who we kidding?
• 31:54
  Yeah, no, I saw some of the prices, $847 to park your car,
• 32:00
  not to get in the game, to park your car.
• 32:02
  It's unbelievable. Dave, as always, brother, thanks
• 32:04
  for what you do for us all year long.
• 32:06
  Obviously, with the draft coming up and as we always do the
• 32:09
  Friday before the Super Bowl, we gather our football voices to
• 32:12
  get their opinion on this year's Super Bowl 60.
• 32:15
  Dave, we'll talk to you at that point.
• 32:17
  Thanks for coming on as always. Dave said it could.
• 32:19
  Good luck to your alma mater on Monday night.
• 32:22
  Appreciate you guys, talk to you soon.
• 32:24
  Yep, good to talk to you, Dave. sinicanzonecoverage.com and does
• 32:27
  weekends on KFAN up in the Twin Cities, doing that for 30 years.
• 32:32
  All right, Trent's plays of the day are coming up next.
• 32:37
  Not a lot of great basketball. There's basketball and you can
• 32:39
  bet on it, So I'm guessing you will.
• 32:41
  Women's basketball tonight's got my eye.
• 32:43
  Have you which which game you're looking at?
• 32:46
  Got pull up Big 10 games, including Iowa.
• 32:49
  Oregon is on the list and Michigan State hosting Nebraska.
• 32:53
  OK, take a peek at both of those games.
• 32:54
  So some good Big 10 women's basketball at that.
• 32:57
  And Tracy Bay at the men's side. Not a whole lot there, a lot of
• 33:00
  colonial action. Yeah, in both.
• 33:03
  You posted circus sports. You retweeted circus sports.
• 33:06
  Put up the Penn State Iowa numbers.
• 33:09
  But for the wrestling duel, yeah.
• 33:11
  For the duel, Yeah, yeah. It is 25.
• 33:15
  I was a 25 point under. Do you remember what it was last
• 33:17
  year? I don't offhand.
• 33:19
  I remember the first time that they did this, four years ago
• 33:22
  now, Five years ago, maybe you were gone.
• 33:25
  You were behind it. You were the one that asked Palm
• 33:28
  to get it going at Benson. And Cody Goodwin was sitting in
• 33:31
  for you that day. And so Cody and I, we're talking
• 33:33
  a little bit about the duel, what I was going to take.
• 33:35
  And it was at that time kind of a toss up.
• 33:38
  And so I just came up with the idea, well, why they can't?
• 33:40
  They put a line on it. So made the call out to Vegas,
• 33:43
  talked to the guys out there and they said, yeah, we'll try it.
• 33:46
  And they put a many line there. My favorite part of that story
• 33:48
  though, was then that Friday night.
• 33:50
  It was obviously not a huge decision for them, but it was
• 33:54
  thousands of dollars on one side.
• 33:56
  And at Circa they put college wrestling for the first time up
• 33:59
  on the big board. That was one of the smaller
• 34:01
  corners, but sure, it was up there.
• 34:03
  And apparently Derek was cheering on Penn State because
• 34:06
  it was like a $10,000 decision for them.
• 34:08
  They needed the Nittany Lions to get it done.
• 34:10
  Because it was on the Iowa app. They here's what did you hear
• 34:12
  what they did on the over the weekend.
• 34:14
  They had a 2, they had a 1,000,000 1/2 dollars bet on
• 34:18
  Green Bay and they had a one of the Saturday games went their
• 34:23
  way. Who played Saturday?
• 34:25
  That God? Panthers.
• 34:28
  No. That was Saturday and the Bears
• 34:31
  were Saturday. So what about a Sunday game?
• 34:34
  Sunday. Game. 49ers Eagles.
• 34:36
  What was the other one? Jaguars.
• 34:38
  Bills. That's what it was they did.
• 34:40
  Somebody bet a 1.4 million on the Jags and 1.5 million on the
• 34:45
  Packers. But they said they broke even
• 34:50
  because they got crushed on Indiana on Friday night.
• 34:53
  Oh, really? Yes, They could not get a bet on
• 34:55
  Ole Miss, Miller and Condon back to wrap things up.
• 34:58
  Mike Palm, by the way, will join us this time tomorrow.
• 35:00
  We'll be wrapping up our conversation with our friend
• 35:02
  Mike Palm, VP of operations at Circa Sports.
• 35:05
  Download the Circa app anywhere in the state of Iowa.
• 35:08
  Fund it. You'll be glad you did. 8 out of
• 35:10
  nine, I got 10 * 4 out of five, you will get the best price at
• 35:14
  Circa, Miller and Condon. Back with our final segment,
• 35:17
  it's the Iowa Sports Radio Network.
• 35:19
  I'm Miller Condon. Welcome back, Iowa Sports Radio
• 35:22
  Network. Our final segment.
• 35:24
  Shame on us, should at least mention this.
• 35:26
  In the first segment of our shows, we bounce around sports.
• 35:29
  Nice win for Drake. Yesterday you come back down
• 35:31
  1617, whatever it was. Nice win for Drake.
• 35:34
  Needed that. They did needed that.
• 35:36
  They're going to be, you know, probably when the season's all
• 35:40
  said and done, they'll be probably pretty close to each
• 35:42
  other in the standings and and our guy Shetler did it again,
• 35:46
  right. Foul trouble didn't matter.
• 35:47
  Double double for Shetler 19 and 11.
• 35:50
  I asked Sean. He was in the studio before he
• 35:53
  got in this morning. I asked what's going on here?
• 35:55
  What's the difference in playing time?
• 35:57
  Oh yeah, give him a chance. Suppose that right?
• 35:59
  And he is earning those minutes and putting up those numbers.
• 36:03
  All right, what are you going to bet on tonight, Trent?
• 36:06
  It's a great question because you're right, it is not a good
• 36:09
  sleep I. Looked at the next Thursday.
• 36:11
  There's one Big 10 game Penn State, Wisconsin.
• 36:14
  So they'll get back on the train that direction and get back in
• 36:17
  there tonight. I have one college basketball
• 36:20
  game on the men's side. It is out in the WCC.
• 36:23
  No, it's not even the WCC. It's out in the not the WAC.
• 36:27
  It is the big W. There we go.
• 36:30
  You remember that Cal San Diego team from a year ago?
• 36:32
  Really fun. Played Michigan in the first
• 36:34
  round. They're kind of buzz team.
• 36:35
  They were what, 28 and 2, something like that.
• 36:37
  They're pretty good this year. Not as good as last year's team,
• 36:39
  but pretty good. We're going to lay it tonight
• 36:41
  against Northridge. They're laying 7 1/2, my only
• 36:44
  play in that one, 9:00 on ESPN. Plus two women's games, giving
• 36:48
  Nebraska the points tonight on the women's side against
• 36:51
  Michigan State. I see this is an incredibly even
• 36:53
  game, really tight. Michigan State is 16 and 1.
• 36:56
  Nebraska hit the skids a bit. They've lost three out of four.
• 36:58
  However, they played really good teams in that stretch, too.
• 37:01
  I think it's going to be down to the wire.
• 37:02
  Really good game there. I'll grab the 5 1/2 with the
• 37:05
  Huskers and I'll lay it tonight with the Hawkeye women against
• 37:07
  Oregon, laying 5 1/2 against the Ducks.
• 37:10
  Oregon kind of silver. This is a group of teams that
• 37:13
  are all very similar, all four of these teams.
• 37:15
  And I'm going to grab the home team here.
• 37:17
  The Hawkeyes back at Carver after not playing well last
• 37:19
  week. Northwestern's awful.
• 37:21
  They struggled with the wild. Sure did.
• 37:23
  Indiana saw. Enough a bunch of that game.
• 37:26
  Not nearly as good as they've been in the past.
• 37:28
  They out a way to get it done with that big Big 10 network.
• 37:32
  Have the game, FS1 and a late tip off at Carver tonight. 8:00
• 37:38
  Juiced up crowd ready to go there.
• 37:40
  You go. Full throat.
• 37:41
  Yeah, absolutely. Got a little time for a couple
• 37:43
  extra pints before you make your way over at the Wig and Pen.
• 37:46
  Yeah, yeah, we'll see what the environment's like tonight, but
• 37:49
  8:00 on FS1. All right, I'm watching puck
• 37:53
  tonight. I'm watching the.
• 37:54
  Wild. They're still playing that
• 37:55
  sport. Are are they going to play in
• 37:56
  the Olympics this year? Yes, I believe they've solved
• 37:59
  the issues. The dressing rooms will not be
• 38:01
  ready. The concessions will not be
• 38:02
  ready. But the ice is past the mustard
• 38:05
  and so they are going to play. Yeah, I'm going to watch the
• 38:08
  I've seen, sat down and watched my squad with nothing to no
• 38:11
  football to watch, no Iowa, no Iowa State to watch.
• 38:15
  I'm going to watch it tonight and the Wild are good.
• 38:18
  I saw did your Jets win the last time out?
• 38:20
  They've won three in a row. Lookout.
• 38:22
  Yes. Here they come.
• 38:23
  I hope not because they need to rebuild and mock draft season.
• 38:27
  No, don't do that the way you. Same thing with the Broncos.
• 38:30
  It drives me crazy. Well, it's going to drive you
• 38:32
  crazy for five more months and then I'm out of here.
• 38:35
  But you're a fan. How?
• 38:36
  How you can hope? For they have no shot.
• 38:39
  You would have said the ultimate prize.
• 38:40
  The last time the Saint Louis Blues won a title, you would
• 38:42
  have said the exact same thing at this exact same.
• 38:45
  Not because I'm not a Blues fan. I don't care.
• 38:47
  Right, But their fans were saying the same thing.
• 38:50
  What did they do? They got in an incredible.
• 38:52
  And hockey? Just probable.
• 38:55
  Just get in and I don't think they will get in.
• 38:57
  But anyways, if they do, I'll be cheering like a madman.
• 39:00
  But I don't see that happening. I hear that there's another show
• 39:04
  coming up after us and it's off the bench.
• 39:06
  Oh yeah, with Darryl and Gary. Darryl and Gary and Darryl and
• 39:09
  Gary are trying to run us down. I think we're up 4.
• 39:12
  Is that what it is, 3 or 4? Well, how about you pick up the
• 39:14
  pace a little? Bit God have I sucked.
• 39:17
  You are 6 and 14 the last. Four weeks, though.
• 39:20
  Is it that bad? That's.
• 39:21
  That's Trancona 20. To say the same thing, get a
• 39:23
  little shot at you, all right, that's going to do it for us.
• 39:26
  We appreciate you being here. We're going to be back again
• 39:29
  tomorrow from noon until 2. That's where we talk sports with
• 39:32
  you on the I.
