• 1:30
  Then in our number 2, Eric Heff, the analyst for both, well,
• 1:34
  football and basketball at Iowa State, but obviously football on
• 1:37
  the docket today. Mitch Holtis left us some tape
• 1:41
  prior to him embarking for Brazil, so we'll hear from Mitch
• 1:45
  how he thinks this game is going to unfold.
• 1:48
  Pat Angerer, the analyst for the Hawkeyes, will join us at 1:25.
• 1:53
  We'll get his perspective on things.
• 1:56
  Obviously. We'll ask him what he thought of
• 1:58
  the young linebacker play from this past week.
• 2:00
  And then Stephen Simple. No, we haven't forgotten about
• 2:02
  you Nebraska fans, all the folks listing over on the western part
• 2:06
  of the state. Simple, join us.
• 2:07
  We'll get a lot of time, but after all, it's Akron.
• 2:11
  They'll be bigger games down the road, more of a look back than
• 2:14
  more. I agree with you.
• 2:15
  Right, because how much are they favored 4?
• 2:17
  What do you know? A ton, yeah.
• 2:19
  It's got to be a huge number. Let me see if I can find it real
• 2:22
  quick. I can't.
• 2:25
  Who's quicker that we're both racing 3434 I got 3433 1/2.
• 2:32
  The zip money is coming in. No, there's flying in Trent.
• 2:35
  Smart money's coming in, no doubt about it.
• 2:37
  Well, we'll see which way the smart money goes tonight as
• 2:41
  after the long wait, the NFL, the curtain goes up today and
• 2:44
  away we go right through the Super Bowl Sunday.
• 2:47
  Love this time of year. It's it's fascinating.
• 2:50
  Do you know? And by the way, if you can't be
• 2:51
  in front of your TV, well, just keep your radio here for those
• 2:55
  of you in central Iowa, because after all, KX&O is the home for
• 2:59
  Westwood One. We'll have the Thursday night
• 3:02
  affair. We'll join it in progress.
• 3:04
  You won't miss a play, but you'll miss some of the pregame.
• 3:07
  The Cyclone Insider tonight goes from 6:00 until 7:00.
• 3:10
  And then Cowboys Eagles courtesy of Westwood 1 coming up at 7:00.
• 3:15
  They'll take you to the end. But we've got Sunday Night
• 3:17
  Football, we've got Monday Night Football, we've got Thursday
• 3:20
  Night Football, obviously, and then right through into the
• 3:23
  playoffs. It's a great, great relationship
• 3:27
  and a great contract to have Westwood one and all their
• 3:29
  programming, which by the way, includes March Madness.
• 3:34
  But I'm not wishing football season away where you are.
• 3:37
  No, hell no. I love this, I love this.
• 3:39
  I hope it slows down anyways. So tonight we'll we'll get to do
• 3:43
  you know, 'cause there's been past years where the NFL has
• 3:47
  done kind of, I don't know, a extravaganza, not the right
• 3:51
  where they've had bands before the, you know, the build up the
• 3:54
  pregame or anything. Do you know what's going 'cause
• 3:56
  I have no. Idea no, and that's not my area
• 3:59
  of expertise either yeah, I'll watch the game right I I don't
• 4:02
  got time for all the goofiness that goes along with it unless
• 4:05
  one of my kids says we're we need to watch the goofiness if
• 4:07
  well then you'll watch Taylor Swift was involved or something
• 4:09
  like that, but she's not. Although she may be in the Super
• 4:12
  Bowl, Goodell did not rule that out yesterday.
• 4:15
  I can't see that he's not. She's not going to perform till.
• 4:18
  Why not? Well, because her husband, well,
• 4:20
  her fiance may be playing in the game.
• 4:22
  Sure, she'll, I think she'll do it one year, but I think, I
• 4:25
  think Kelsey will be done at that point.
• 4:28
  Who knows? When she kicks off her new tour.
• 4:30
  Well, that's coming, right, because she's got a new album to
• 4:32
  come out. So this game tonight, any
• 4:35
  opinion? For you.
• 4:36
  Yeah, I like the Cowboys. You.
• 4:37
  Do like the Cowboys. You don't like them to win, Do.
• 4:40
  You. No, no, no.
• 4:40
  But just too many points. Yeah, too many points, too big.
• 4:43
  Overreaction. I think so.
• 4:45
  It's 88 and a half Circus 8. DraftKings is 8 1/2 right now.
• 4:49
  I look at the game, I think that they're going to be able to move
• 4:52
  the ball. Remember, the Eagles didn't have
• 4:53
  a great camp, really banged up. There's questions in their
• 4:55
  secondary. It's not going to be Cooper to
• 4:58
  Jean at one of the cornerback spots.
• 4:59
  He's going to be more that slot kind of guy and I'll flip him
• 5:02
  back and forth. So they have concerns there.
• 5:04
  A defensive backfield. I think that's going to have a
• 5:06
  game. I think he's going to, they're
• 5:08
  going to hang around in this one at minimum and we're going to
• 5:10
  have a high scoring, entertaining football game.
• 5:13
  Well. You mentioned out of the blue CD
• 5:14
  Lamb yesterday, which led me to speculate that either you
• 5:17
  drafted. Him I didn't know.
• 5:18
  Fantasy or you're looking to prop?
• 5:20
  I know neither of those. I just, yeah, it just came out
• 5:23
  of nowhere. I think he's going to have a
• 5:24
  nice year. This Cowboys team, they're not
• 5:26
  going to be good. They're going to be 7 and 10.
• 5:28
  Probably. Where do they finish in their
• 5:30
  division? Third.
• 5:32
  You probably Washington out finishes them.
• 5:34
  Yeah, and I don't think Washington's a playoff team, but
• 5:36
  I I think they're going to be right.
• 5:37
  In any chance they're last, 'cause I think the Giants are
• 5:40
  going to be better. Not until Jackson Darts starts
• 5:42
  to play because Russell Wilson blows the Giants.
• 5:45
  Thing is interesting because there's a lot of those national
• 5:50
  giant people that are out. There.
• 5:52
  Yeah, that's fair. And.
• 5:54
  You think it's too much? I do that can be good.
• 6:00
  I think he is. But are they anything better
• 6:03
  than best A6 and 11 type of team?
• 6:06
  6:00 and 11:00 with maybe some signs of improvement.
• 6:10
  Dabel keeps his gig. Does he at 6:00 and 11:00 if he
• 6:13
  plays dart for most of the year? If Dart shows progression, yeah.
• 6:17
  I mean, if he has a nice season and you want to keep it going.
• 6:20
  If you had to bet one team in New York to have the best
• 6:23
  record, Jets or Giants, who would you pick?
• 6:27
  A coin flip, at least at the top of my head.
• 6:30
  You have a lean one way or the other, not.
• 6:31
  Really, I think the Giants, if I had to.
• 6:33
  Yeah, Justin Fields, Can he have a decent season?
• 6:37
  A run for 8 touchdowns, throw for another 18 and do something
• 6:41
  like that. The defense has so much young
• 6:43
  talent too. They.
• 6:44
  Got some guys over there. What's happening with Bruce
• 6:47
  Hall? Braylon Allen might be taking a
• 6:49
  bunch of his carries away this season.
• 6:51
  I like Breeze Hall was available at the for for for purchase.
• 6:55
  Yeah, if you wanted to trade for him, he was on the market
• 6:57
  apparently. I like the talent on the team.
• 6:59
  It just how does it fit together?
• 7:02
  As you know, I'm not a big Fields guy.
• 7:03
  You know, sell me for a whole offseason.
• 7:05
  Yeah, I was wrong. Yeah, I was wrong.
• 7:07
  It didn't work very. Well, Breeze Hall, interesting
• 7:10
  career for him, you know what I mean?
• 7:12
  I thought, My God, the Sky's the limit for this dude.
• 7:15
  This is an important year for him.
• 7:16
  This is an important year for his certainly his future in New
• 7:20
  York and May maybe I'm not saying he's going to be out of
• 7:22
  league. He's going to get his
• 7:23
  opportunity. He's too good.
• 7:25
  But he has not come anywhere close.
• 7:28
  I don't think to what NFL fans that followed the sport thought
• 7:32
  he would that he was going to become Trent this weekend.
• 7:35
  As far as the as far as the prime time games.
• 7:38
  I mean, this is just bananas. I mean tomorrow night Kansas
• 7:41
  City and and the Chargers. That's an online game only,
• 7:44
  right? Is that who's got that YouTube
• 7:46
  YouTube's got? That not YouTube TV.
• 7:49
  YouTube. All right, so help me out.
• 7:50
  Yes, what's? YouTube TV is like DIRECTV but
• 7:56
  so right. YouTube TV is like media.
• 7:58
  So that's the Sunday Ticket. Yes.
• 8:01
  So I'll get it on my Sunday ticket.
• 8:03
  I don't know, I. Don't know either.
• 8:06
  Not going to no. I'm worried I'm not going to get
• 8:07
  the game to work. Well, you'll you'll be able to
• 8:08
  figure it. Out, I think I do.
• 8:10
  Get smart TV's. Got those little apps right?
• 8:12
  No, that's the problem with mine.
• 8:14
  It doesn't. Oh well, maybe it doesn't.
• 8:16
  I haven't found them well. That could be the case too.
• 8:19
  I'll get there because I I, I watched this game last year.
• 8:22
  Was it the same way last year? You are working stuff right?
• 8:25
  Now, yeah, and I remember seeing the game, but I I don't believe
• 8:28
  it was a YouTube exclusive. But YouTube is where I get
• 8:31
  Sunday ticket. YouTube TV.
• 8:33
  So I got to have a YouTube and a YouTube TV, right?
• 8:36
  I don't have that. I don't.
• 8:38
  You've never clicked on a YouTube link before?
• 8:40
  No, Yes, you have online. Yes.
• 8:43
  I mean, I watch myself now. I watch myself.
• 8:44
  I listen to my race every you know, you know what I do.
• 8:47
  I want to see how many people have have found it.
• 8:50
  Oh, OK. And what I'm talking about is,
• 8:53
  is who farted? Yes.
• 8:55
  Your famous call. My famous race call from 1990 at
• 8:59
  PRM, that little track on the Prairie in Altoona where there
• 9:04
  was a horse called Hoof HOOF Hard, HARD.
• 9:09
  And his last name was Ed. And kind of, I didn't know what
• 9:16
  I was saying in the beginning. And then I caught on what how it
• 9:19
  was coming out. And then when I got to the
• 9:21
  winner's circle, I took it to all different level.
• 9:22
  But there's been millions of people that have clicked on.
• 9:25
  If YouTube was a thing, yes, in 1990, this would have broke the
• 9:29
  Internet. I would have.
• 9:30
  It and it's still monstrous. I'm looking at a.
• 9:32
  Clip right and how many views? 1.2 million views.
• 9:35
  Yeah, there should be. More and there's there's other
• 9:38
  ones. There are other, but I believe
• 9:39
  this is your call. No, it is Scream outside
• 9:42
  Colorado, Coed toast, a dozen on the inside, questers jet.
• 9:46
  Who farted? Who farted on the outside?
• 9:48
  It's close. Who farted in the winner's
• 9:50
  circle? Now there's a question best
• 9:52
  left. There you go.
• 9:54
  Yeah, it was a quarter horse race and it was late in the
• 9:56
  year, wasn't it? Does it have the date on there?
• 9:58
  It's like November Prairie used to race until November.
• 10:01
  This clip doesn't happen. I think it was.
• 10:02
  November anyways, and then when Prairie closed, he followed me
• 10:06
  to Colorado where I went to call races at in Denver.
• 10:11
  So it was great. So we had a whole different
• 10:12
  audience out. There there's another hoof
• 10:14
  hearted that is in a What's the harness race?
• 10:17
  A harness race, Yes. Yeah, You love your harness
• 10:19
  race. I love it.
• 10:20
  That's the only ones I make money on when I go to Vegas, my
• 10:24
  son and I always find Well, you usually end up at South Point.
• 10:26
  Yes, see Chris and then and watch and watch the horns and
• 10:30
  bet some horns and have a dollar.
• 10:32
  Is a dollar in quarter a dollar? Fifty $1.50 I.
• 10:34
  Think I think they've gone up. That used to be at oh God, why
• 10:38
  can't I ever remember that property in Vegas right beside
• 10:41
  the Flamingo? Oh my God.
• 10:44
  Next to the. Full.
• 10:45
  It was an old time O'shea's. No, no, it's the other way.
• 10:49
  The other way. O'shea's.
• 10:50
  I lost a lot of money in that. O'shea's shady, shady shady
• 10:55
  O'Shea. 'S the other side ballot the
• 10:58
  belt? No.
• 10:59
  Not Bally's. What was that right there?
• 11:02
  Wild Bill's gambling. Hall.
• 11:04
  It might have been Wild Bill's Gambling Hall before it changed
• 11:06
  the name to the. Anyways, it'll come to me.
• 11:10
  It's on the tip of my freaking tongue.
• 11:11
  It was brown. The building was brown, and the
• 11:14
  cart used to be the and it wrote a ton of.
• 11:16
  This was one of the big properties in Las Vegas, and
• 11:19
  they had the sheets on the walls.
• 11:20
  Do you remember? You probably.
• 11:23
  Yeah. This would have been in your
• 11:24
  era. This would have been in your era
• 11:29
  when it was the first time you went to Las Vegas. 2000. 2 So
• 11:33
  this was probably still happening when you were in a
• 11:36
  race or sports book in Las Vegas.
• 11:38
  Did you have a cell phone in 2? 1010 I did not.
• 11:40
  OK, so this doesn't pertain to you, but you could not use your
• 11:43
  cell. Phone.
• 11:44
  I do remember that the first time I had a cell phone in Las
• 11:46
  Vegas, that yes. Right.
• 11:48
  And there would be security because you know, they think
• 11:51
  you're, you know, oh, absolutely calling lines or calling your
• 11:54
  bookie back wherever you live. And they would watch for you to
• 11:57
  reach for your phone. And as soon as you put it to
• 11:59
  you, they wouldn't kick you out or anything.
• 12:01
  They just give you. You have to be behind this
• 12:03
  buffer. Absolutely.
• 12:04
  Remember it vividly and it scared me.
• 12:07
  It's still today. I still.
• 12:08
  Every once in a while I'll be looking around.
• 12:10
  Oh yeah, I'm OK to use my. Phone now?
• 12:12
  Yeah, it's Carte blanche. Carte blanche back in the day.
• 12:15
  I wish I could remember the name of that place.
• 12:16
  Yeah, it'll pop to. You.
• 12:17
  It will. It will.
• 12:18
  Well, it's I hawk week as we are here and we have kind of broken
• 12:21
  things down. I talked about yesterday.
• 12:23
  I think one of the biggest keys if I was going to pull off the
• 12:25
  wind, you got to get pressure with the front 4, not by
• 12:28
  blitzing front floor 4 is a big one.
• 12:31
  Another question that I had and and I look at, are we sure the
• 12:35
  Iowa linebackers are going to be able to cover these?
• 12:36
  Titans Well, I can't wait to talk to Pat Anger about that.
• 12:38
  Yeah, I I would be surprised. I would be surprised because
• 12:43
  they're really good group. That's a really good group.
• 12:46
  Because the question is, do you go exclusively cash or do you
• 12:50
  even mess around with it? So we heard back in Las Vegas.
• 12:54
  We heard it during Iowa media day and that Luttmer and Cohen
• 12:59
  entringer, both those guys can play both positions.
• 13:02
  I don't know which one would be. What did you think of Luttmer's
• 13:05
  game? I thought it was OK.
• 13:08
  Struggled early, made a couple of bad reads on a couple of zone
• 13:12
  replays. Outside of that, I think he
• 13:14
  improved tremendously after a couple of maybe early jitters
• 13:17
  for him. And yeah, he was flying around
• 13:19
  and making play. You can see a dude's a
• 13:21
  playmaker. No, I think he is too.
• 13:22
  Trent. I think they have something
• 13:23
  there. I don't know off the top, like I
• 13:25
  just don't know the way they play who is better.
• 13:28
  But when you look at the matchup and knowing that both of these
• 13:30
  guys position, work through the both positions a lot this year.
• 13:34
  If 1 is better than the other for this matchup and do you even
• 13:38
  mess with that Or do you just say no, this is the way we're
• 13:41
  going to go lot more is the cash we got back at the safety spot
• 13:44
  Enteringer or if it is going to be something where they play
• 13:46
  around with it a little bit because Enteringer is a little
• 13:49
  bit bigger and maybe he's a guy against those tight ends.
• 13:52
  If you're in cash, that would make a little bit more sense
• 13:55
  moving him down closer to the line, doing that and then slides
• 13:59
  back to the safety position, if that makes more sense.
• 14:01
  That's just one of the the theories that kind of bounced
• 14:03
  around in my mind because this tight end room is deep.
• 14:06
  They're talented. It's not just Bramer and Berkel.
• 14:10
  They go deeper than that. Well, that's a pretty good 1-2
• 14:13
  punch, though. Because because I don't think
• 14:15
  Iowa State's going to be able to run.
• 14:16
  The ball? I don't think so either.
• 14:17
  Conversely, what about Iowa? That's the way they're going to
• 14:20
  win the football, don't you think?
• 14:22
  Whether it's be Granowski or whomever RB du jour.
• 14:26
  They have to probably dominate the running game because to
• 14:30
  think that Granowski suddenly going to go and have, you know,
• 14:33
  an 18 for 22 for 2:50 and 2:00 touchdowns, that's unrealistic.
• 14:37
  Yeah, I agree. It's going to have to be with
• 14:39
  the run game. Last year they were all charged
• 14:41
  up Iowa State. Now they had a bunch of green
• 14:43
  linebackers and that's going to be different this year.
• 14:45
  They. Had a whole bunch of green
• 14:47
  linebackers every week. They got a break against K State
• 14:51
  with Edwards going down. Yep, that was a break.
• 14:53
  Now did he leave their program or was that BS?
• 14:56
  I didn't see that. I I, I, I think that I think a
• 15:00
  fan put that up because there was a I'm leaving K state that
• 15:03
  had something that didn't go right.
• 15:04
  They made a promise and I I think it was garbage, Yeah.
• 15:07
  They said he's going to still be out I think a little bit longer
• 15:09
  though. Yes.
• 15:10
  And it wasn't because of the smoke, just like the fumble punt
• 15:13
  was not because of the smoke. That was unbelievable.
• 15:16
  Absolutely incredible, but they got a break.
• 15:20
  Yeah, no, they got they got that's for sure because he is,
• 15:24
  he averaged, what was it, Trent over 7 yards a carry, 7.27
• 15:30
  point, 4 yards a carry last year and he wasn't able to go What he
• 15:33
  made a difference in the game. We'll never know.
• 15:35
  We'll never know. But you know, we'll see where it
• 15:39
  goes. Again, I I, I know I've said it
• 15:41
  all all this week. I just can't still the job that
• 15:47
  the behind the scenes people did for Matt Campbell getting this
• 15:49
  team ready to come back from Dublin, especially when you look
• 15:52
  what happened over Manhattan this past weekend.
• 15:56
  Look at those little things too, Like we we kind of joked about
• 16:00
  them getting off the bus when they got there.
• 16:02
  They're all wearing those sunglasses, right?
• 16:04
  That are supposed to happen. But those are the little things
• 16:07
  that when you're going through every single deep tail and
• 16:11
  you're talking to Nick Sirianni, who you played with the Mount
• 16:14
  Union and getting his perception when they've had to go over
• 16:17
  there and talking to people, not just college, but also people in
• 16:20
  the pros that have taken these trips before.
• 16:23
  It's those things, find details that certainly come together and
• 16:27
  why this program for the second year in a row is playing good
• 16:30
  football at the beginning of the season.
• 16:31
  Yeah, they are. We'll see where it goes after
• 16:34
  this one. But I picked Iowa before the
• 16:37
  season. I'm almost, you almost got to
• 16:40
  stay there, right? No, you can't come off it.
• 16:42
  No, no, you don't have to be. You sound like one of those AP
• 16:46
  poll, AP poll voters. That's what I had in the
• 16:48
  preseason. No.
• 16:49
  What are you seeing right now? What are you seeing?
• 16:51
  I'm seeing Iowa State's the better team is the Barbary
• 16:53
  Coast, The Barbary Coast, Barbary Coast.
• 16:57
  I, I think, I mean of the two get it.
• 16:59
  I was only played one game, but it was against the Albany,
• 17:02
  right? You should have killed them,
• 17:03
  didn't kill them. South Dakota was going to give
• 17:06
  Iowa State all they wanted. At least that's what this chair
• 17:08
  said. You went to bank on that?
• 17:10
  Well, a bunch of. Times Oh my God, I'm over 2 on
• 17:12
  Iowa State. I mean, I did pick them to beat
• 17:14
  them, but. You're talking about an O and
• 17:15
  three I was. I absolutely was.
• 17:18
  I didn't think it was crazy. He had the three and the 0
• 17:20
  right? Just like so, you've got them
• 17:22
  winning this game, I do. Yeah, Mark Gronowski's proven
• 17:26
  nothing. Nothing.
• 17:28
  What he did at the FCS level for a guy to be, if we believe what
• 17:32
  the wording is, coming out of Iowa City, that he was too
• 17:36
  charged up, that he was too excited.
• 17:39
  Couldn't you be too charged up? You're not a freshman.
• 17:43
  Right. He's played a, he's played a
• 17:44
  huge football games. He played a kid before, right?
• 17:48
  He's played, He played Oklahoma State last year.
• 17:50
  He's played the. National how many games he threw
• 17:52
  in that other game and kidding back in 2000 and what he was
• 17:55
  2220 like 66 or something that hasn't actually a little and
• 18:00
  that was an ugly game 7373 yes and they weren't wasn't A7.
• 18:05
  No, it was 2 safeties and a field goal.
• 18:09
  I don't remember that game trend.
• 18:11
  Oh, yeah, I don't remember that. There was the angry guy in the
• 18:13
  stands that they kept showing over and over and over again.
• 18:15
  Oh, absolutely. So you didn't go to the game?
• 18:17
  No, I don't know. Why?
• 18:19
  You were lucky. Yes, absolutely.
• 18:21
  It was not a thing of beauty. I didn't remember when I was
• 18:24
  looking at the box. Well, how'd they score to the
• 18:26
  touchdown? What did they say?
• 18:26
  They didn't score a touchdown. Oh, boy.
• 18:29
  Oh, boy. All right, Lee Sterling is
• 18:30
  coming up. We'll get his picks.
• 18:31
  How did he do last week? Two and three last.
• 18:33
  Two and three last week. Look at I I'll I'll give Lee
• 18:36
  credit. He he sells his picks.
• 18:39
  Take it with a grain of salt, but he doesn't hide from his
• 18:42
  record. No.
• 18:43
  He, he doesn't hide from his record.
• 18:45
  He'll put it out there on Front Street and he'll, you know, when
• 18:47
  he has a bad week, it's not like he's not going to send us the
• 18:50
  picks, but we'll see. But I look at it, I like
• 18:53
  listening to him usually, you know, go either go his way, go
• 18:56
  the other way, don't listen to him at all.
• 18:58
  But we're going to do that. And then we're going to do the
• 19:00
  chicken coop. We'll give you an opportunity
• 19:02
  coming up here at about 12:45. We will do that.
• 19:05
  A jam packed our number 2. Let's get to Jim.
• 19:08
  Jim, thanks for hanging on. How are you?
• 19:10
  Jim? Welcome to the program.
• 19:12
  Doing well looking, still looking for those boys smoking
• 19:14
  in the boys room. They don't have to do that.
• 19:16
  Anymore. Yeah, Nice, nice.
• 19:20
  Don't you think it's pretty simple?
• 19:21
  I always got to get some turnovers and probably win the
• 19:25
  special teams fairly decisively. Yesterday they had those pick
• 19:29
  against the boys on the afternoon show and people were
• 19:32
  combined passing yards. Yeah.
• 19:34
  If, if, if Rocco backs throws for 270 yards, there's no way I
• 19:38
  was going to win. They've got to hold him to under
• 19:40
  200 in my opinion. And that means keep an eye on
• 19:43
  the state's offense off the field.
• 19:45
  Yeah, and that's that's a lot. That's that secondary because
• 19:48
  Iowa State's got some dudes at that position.
• 19:50
  And what was what was the over under number trend for passing
• 19:53
  yards for back 236 two? 30 Yeah, that sounds about
• 19:56
  right. 36 I don't see Gronowski throwing for $100.75 yeah.
• 20:01
  Maybe 136 1/2 is his. Number, yeah.
• 20:03
  So it's he would fly over that number.
• 20:07
  I think it's turnovers and special teams like it always is
• 20:10
  in this game, so. Seemingly as turnovers.
• 20:12
  Winning 2421. You're on record, Jim.
• 20:15
  Thanks for the call. Appreciate you listening.
• 20:17
  See you, buddy. Good to talk to you.
• 20:19
  Yeah, turnovers, obviously. I'm not sure you can win the
• 20:21
  special teams battle against Iowa State this year.
• 20:24
  I was so good at it. Yeah, but so, so I would say
• 20:27
  never was good at right. I should say never.
• 20:29
  Never is a long time, but they're better than they've been
• 20:31
  fair. You need to get a big return
• 20:35
  flip field position. Laura's been unbelievable.
• 20:37
  He has been, I will very rarely though gives up big plays the
• 20:41
  other way. And if they're buttoned up in
• 20:43
  the coverage unit like they normally are, if they find a big
• 20:47
  play, doesn't have to be a touchdown, but you know a 30
• 20:49
  yard return, do something like that in the punt return game,
• 20:52
  get a half field, then you know, get the ball at at at the plus
• 20:55
  side of the 50. You get that short field, you
• 20:57
  get a score. And I was been spoiled at that
• 20:59
  position. I mean, that return game has
• 21:00
  been unbelievable. And we just, you know, he's he's
• 21:03
  as good as OK, maybe not Tim, Dwight or some of the others.
• 21:06
  Did Eugene? And did you see good Sam
• 21:08
  Phillips on his return late? Game dead late in the game,
• 21:11
  right? Is that who that was?
• 21:12
  That was Sam Phillips. That's the five 7 speedster out
• 21:15
  of Chattanooga that was open but in the end zone that Karowski
• 21:17
  went with the bounce pass. Not legal.
• 21:20
  Don't get 1/2 touchdown for those you.
• 21:21
  Haven't seen bounce passes like that since.
• 21:24
  Spencer Peters. No, come on.
• 21:25
  You got to go with the you got to go with the Jake Christians.
• 21:28
  Jake Christiansen. He would fire him.
• 21:30
  He killed more worms in his Iowa career.
• 21:34
  Loaded. Up and hit it in the ground.
• 21:37
  He was supposed to be. I mean that the hype around him,
• 21:41
  Dee taking time out. Lee Sterling's going to join us
• 21:43
  next and the way back machine for a couple of things early.
• 21:47
  Here we were back in 1990, earlier in the program.
• 21:49
  Yes. We'll get with the here and now.
• 21:51
  Lee Sterling's going to join us on the other side.
• 21:53
  Look forward to catching up with Lee.
• 21:55
  Does did you look at his games? I forgot to.
• 21:57
  Is there NFL and College in there?
• 21:59
  Did he slide in an NFL game or two for us, Lee?
• 22:02
  Sterling this week he's got a pro and his game of the week is
• 22:08
  one that will interest you. He likes the Broncos.
• 22:12
  Well, how can you not do? You not against the number.
• 22:17
  Not against the what is it, 8 1/2?
• 22:18
  Yeah. You don't think they'll beat him
• 22:21
  by 8 1/2? Give me those.
• 22:22
  Rookie quarterback on the road, what kind of years he, what kind
• 22:25
  of player I think he's going to. Be.
• 22:26
  I think he's going to be. Tremendous, you really do.
• 22:28
  Yeah, I'm a believer. I'm a believer when he's going
• 22:32
  up face to face, face mask to face mask with Simmons and one
• 22:35
  of their first practices of the year, it's kind of guy I like.
• 22:38
  And it sounded like people like that, too.
• 22:40
  He wasn't backing down from Jeffrey Simmons.
• 22:42
  Yeah. Like practice number two of the
• 22:44
  season. I think everybody's rallying
• 22:46
  around, yes. He is all right.
• 22:49
  Miller and Condon underway on a Thursday.

• 23:36
  Condon, Iowa Sports Radio Network, Trent Condon and Ken
• 23:39
  Miller. And I just lost the e-mail that
• 23:43
  Lee sent us. Oh, look, yeah, it's
• 23:45
  unbelievable. Anyways, Lee Sterling
• 23:48
  momentarily paramountsports.com. Look forward to this weekly
• 23:51
  conversation. Chicken coop giveaway still to
• 23:54
  come as well. Let's get the Lee Sterling
• 23:57
  paramountsports.com. Boy, what a weekend of college
• 24:01
  football in the state of Florida.
• 24:02
  Lee Sterling, let's start there. I mean, this past weekend.
• 24:06
  What a weekend it was, huh? Yeah, I went to the Miami game.
• 24:10
  I wanted to see that. I wish I could have seen the
• 24:12
  Texas or Ohio State line in game live because I want to see the
• 24:16
  coverages. You know, you can't see it based
• 24:18
  on watching it live or even watching the reruns, you know,
• 24:21
  online. But I was able to see Carson
• 24:24
  Beck live and he was reading defenses, who's probably right,
• 24:27
  making the decisions over 90% of the time, checking down when he
• 24:31
  needed to and and he looks like 2 years ago.
• 24:35
  So Carson Beck went from a maybe a top five pick to a third or
• 24:39
  fourth round, or maybe to a top ten pick again.
• 24:42
  Yeah, certainly trending in that direction, no doubt about it.
• 24:45
  I was impressed by him. What the What do you make of
• 24:47
  Alabama? Well, I mean, they, they just,
• 24:52
  they just didn't bring it didn't come to play in Florida State
• 24:55
  had more energy, look more, you know, ready and and maybe more
• 25:00
  talented. So Ken Dwar, he's he's going to
• 25:03
  have to pick this team up. I still think they're going to
• 25:05
  be a really good team. But you know, we can't judge it
• 25:08
  too much on one game. That's why college football is
• 25:11
  so important. You'll see see teams improve the
• 25:14
  most from the first to the second game.
• 25:16
  A lot of. Overreaction out there.
• 25:17
  Let's see if we can find some games for you this weekly.
• 25:20
  Let's kick things off, Illinois pre season top eleven team.
• 25:25
  They go on the route road to the Dookies this weekend.
• 25:28
  Interesting line where the Illini are just a three-point
• 25:31
  favorite. Yeah, the public loves former
• 25:34
  Tulane quarterback Darren Mensah.
• 25:36
  He was great last week. 27 for 34 for 389 yards and they're
• 25:41
  easy win in the second-half. It was close for a while, but
• 25:46
  Elon Duke is a solid team, not a top tier ACC team.
• 25:50
  Illinois might be one of the most underappreciated teams in
• 25:53
  the country in power conferences.
• 25:57
  They close the season with four straight wins, including a win
• 26:00
  over South Carolina and the Bull.
• 26:02
  They return 19 of 22 starters and great special teams.
• 26:07
  People forget about that. They can run the football, ran
• 26:10
  it for almost 6 yards of carry last week.
• 26:11
  They can stop the run along just one yard per carry last week.
• 26:16
  Duke I think is 1 dimensional, mainly a passing team and I
• 26:19
  think Illinois controls both. Lions here.
• 26:22
  I like Illinois 2717. The only thing I remember about
• 26:26
  that bowl game was Bieleman and Beamer almost came to blows.
• 26:29
  Right, that would have been. That would have been fun, right?
• 26:33
  Absolutely. Well let's go Saturday night
• 26:35
  ABC's Got it. Oklahoma 5 point favorite.
• 26:39
  Here comes Michigan and their freshman phenom quarterback Mr.
• 26:42
  Underwood. Oklahoma favored 5.
• 26:44
  Lee. About this whole region, I mean
• 26:46
  there's some great games and Oklahoma was one of them.
• 26:49
  I mean, I love John Mateer. I've been watching him for
• 26:52
  years. I mean, he is better in the big
• 26:54
  games. He beat Washington single
• 26:56
  handedly last year late in games.
• 26:58
  He can bring his team back. The problem is do you want to
• 27:01
  lay five points here against a team that knows how to win on
• 27:05
  the road? Michigan beat Ohio State on the
• 27:07
  road. I think they have the better
• 27:08
  offensive in defensive lines here.
• 27:11
  I like Bryce Underwood, the true freshman quarterback a lot.
• 27:14
  In my opinion, he's as good as advertised.
• 27:17
  And here's what's important. They did not show much of the
• 27:20
  playbook here. He can run.
• 27:22
  He did not have one quarterback run the entire game.
• 27:25
  Look for them to unleash him. Justice Haynes to transfer from
• 27:29
  Alabama. We talked about Alabama missing
• 27:31
  something. Maybe he was part of it.
• 27:32
  I mean, he ran the last game 159 yards and three touchdowns here.
• 27:37
  I I think Michigan winning the battles upfront, there's too
• 27:40
  much here. I think Michigan pulls off the
• 27:42
  shocker team favorite Michigan outright, 2421. 2421 the
• 27:48
  Wolverines get a big win and a big win for the Big 10 if they
• 27:52
  can put that one in there. Let's go to the Border War.
• 27:54
  It's an old conference matchup. Unfortunately, not the case
• 27:57
  anymore. Kansas and Missouri, this one
• 28:00
  just under a touchdown. Mizzou the favorite.
• 28:03
  What these two teams should play every year.
• 28:05
  I mean, this is what college football is all about.
• 28:07
  And I thought Missouri's offense was going to be way down, at
• 28:10
  least a slight drop off. I mean, you lose Brady Cook,
• 28:14
  running back Nate Noel, Luther Bird and Theo Wiese, but both
• 28:18
  probilla looks really good from Penn State can run and throw.
• 28:22
  You know, he he, he total over 350 total yards running and
• 28:26
  throwing the football and transfers a Mississippi State
• 28:29
  receiver transfer Kevin Coleman, the running back Marquis Davis,
• 28:33
  the freshman looks great and they got some really good
• 28:36
  transfers on defense. Defensive end Wilson from
• 28:38
  Georgia, Jalen Catalan from UNLV might have been the best safety
• 28:42
  and transfer portal. I think Kansas is better, but I
• 28:46
  don't think they're mid level SEC good here and that's where
• 28:50
  we know Missouri Orient is here. I like Missouri 3527.
• 28:54
  You know, before we get to Psy Hawk, which is coming up next, I
• 28:57
  wanted to ask you this. And I forgot when we were
• 28:59
  talking about the state of Florida earlier and you were at
• 29:02
  the Miami game, Malachi. Tony is 17 years old.
• 29:06
  I mean, how good is this kid going to be?
• 29:09
  So here I went. I go to some high school games
• 29:12
  when I get off work and I went to the state championship game.
• 29:16
  He was on the same team as as their their star running back.
• 29:21
  And what happened was crazy as a 9th grader, this was him as a
• 29:27
  just a 9th grader. He was basically carrying his
• 29:31
  team. I mean, it was it was back and
• 29:34
  forth one of the great battles. And on the other side was Ruben
• 29:37
  Bane. So in the fourth quarter, this
• 29:40
  is this is one of the craziest things is they were going for
• 29:44
  the the leading touch. He actually fumble as a 9th
• 29:46
  grader. I think he had like 8 or 9
• 29:48
  catches in that game and he was that good.
• 29:51
  And you know, he, he was, like I said, playing also with the with
• 29:56
  the starting running back Mark Fletcher on one side and Ruben
• 29:59
  Bain had three sacks on the other side in the fourth
• 30:01
  quarter. So I just knew he was special.
• 30:04
  They're going to have to get, so they're going to need an extra
• 30:07
  receiver somewhere to come come on and then be able to help him
• 30:10
  out as the season goes on. Let's get the side Hawk Lee name
• 30:16
  Cyclone's a three-point favorite 2 and O Iowa want to know not
• 30:20
  impressive against Albany in Week 1.
• 30:22
  Your thoughts on the state's biggest game?
• 30:25
  So I think Iowa is is much improved.
• 30:28
  I don't think they showed anything.
• 30:30
  I would say it as we know is already, you know, they're right
• 30:33
  up there probably a top ten top 15 team here, but you know, they
• 30:37
  they were almost perfect. Rocco Beck was last week 19 for
• 30:40
  20 school record 95% completion percentage.
• 30:43
  But on the other side, Iowa running back freshman Xavier
• 30:46
  Williams looks like the real deal.
• 30:48
  He had over 100 yards and a touchdown 5 to 6 games have been
• 30:52
  low scoring here and gone under the total.
• 30:55
  But Phil Parker, I mean, he usually can take away your best
• 30:57
  weapon here and force you into third and long often.
• 31:00
  And I think maybe special teams could be the difference where
• 31:03
  Iowa's top 10 consistently Iowa State middle of the road.
• 31:07
  I think I'm going to go with the here, the underdog here, Iowa
• 31:11
  plus the three. I think they pull off the upset
• 31:14
  2320 and another hard fought game. 2320 Hawkeyes for Lee
• 31:18
  Sterling. Let's go to Friday Night
• 31:20
  Football under the lights. No, not on the high school
• 31:23
  fields. Instead, it'll be in Brazil, the
• 31:26
  Chiefs and the Chargers, a divisional matchup where Kansas
• 31:28
  City is a three-point favorite. Yeah, and, and I think Kansas
• 31:32
  City's down. I mean, look at the last couple
• 31:34
  of years. Look at their offense visibly
• 31:36
  here on the decline. Yards per play average 6.3 in
• 31:40
  2020, two 5.6 in 2023, five point one last year, 22nd in the
• 31:48
  NFL. Even The Jets had more yards per
• 31:50
  play at 5.2 and the Chargers had more at 5.4.
• 31:54
  And they're just getting stronger every single year.
• 31:57
  They finally have a coach. I I think without Rashid Rice, I
• 32:01
  think Kansas City might struggle here.
• 32:03
  I like the Chargers to pull off the Stunner 2320.
• 32:05
  One, what's happening? It's happening.
• 32:08
  The rain atop the AFC West is coming to an end.
• 32:11
  I couldn't be happier. And look at Denver.
• 32:13
  Look at Denver. I mean Denver and they're like
• 32:15
  that at the game, sat next to Nick Benito.
• 32:18
  So yeah, sat right next to him the entire.
• 32:21
  Game he just got paid today. Yeah, four years, 120 million,
• 32:25
  and no one knows around the country who he is.
• 32:28
  He only had 13 1/2 sacks last year, third in the NFL.
• 32:31
  He's an under the rated defensive player of the year
• 32:35
  candidate. If you want 40 to 1 or 30 to 1,
• 32:37
  whatever he is. All right, your game of the
• 32:39

  Any consensus? TC we do have a consensus.

  We do for the first time in a long time.
• 38:47
  We have a consensus now, historically.
• 38:49
  It's not good. It's not good.
• 38:51
  So is it Eagles? No.
• 38:52
  What game was it? It was Oklahoma, Michigan.
• 38:55
  I thought somebody took Michigan.
• 38:57
  Everybody took Michigan. Oh, everybody took.
• 38:59
  So you're right. Yeah.
• 38:59
  Somebody say paid attention. Somebody did.
• 39:03
  All four of them. All four are on the Wolverines
• 39:06
  now. I like Oklahoma.
• 39:07
  This is do. You see, I like Michigan, so now
• 39:09
  I don't as much. Matir.
• 39:12
  He can run. He's a dude.
• 39:15
  The suspension to the safety for Michigan at the 1st.
• 39:17
  Half huge and shouldn't be. By the way, I hated the call.
• 39:20
  Bryce Underwood going into this environment, it's going to be
• 39:23
  different. College football's never seen a
• 39:25
  quarterback, a freshman quarterback like him.
• 39:28
  Ask him, he'll tell you I. Don't know how much chirping
• 39:30
  he's going to be doing come about 9:30 on a Saturday night.
• 39:33
  All right, so let's play this game one step further.

  OK, same ballpark though. I don't know, just can't wait
• 39:55
  for it to get here, right? It's getting close.
• 39:57
  And it's 1110, you said is. Kicked off official kick off,
• 40:00
  according to the game notes. Gotcha.
• 40:02
  And that's because Fox is always late.
