program. Kevin Layman at the bottom of
0:59

1:02
and I basketball games, color analysts for a variety of
1:05
different outlets, but Kevin Layman will join us.
1:09
The coach there was every coach. He was an assistant under under
1:13
Elden Miller. Back on way back, though, right?
1:15
Yeah, So Kevin Layman will join us.
1:17
I get the latest. I see Kyle Green.
1:19
According to Colbert, who covers you and I, Kyle Green has made
1:23
it known apparently that to the administration that you and I
1:28
that he's interested in in that job potentially.
1:32
So Kevin Layman coming up on the now opening the in the men's
1:37
program at Northern Iowa. Hour number two, Matt Snyder
1:40
covers baseball for CBSSports.com.
1:43
Our first of our in season conversations that happen every
1:47
week with our buddy Matt Snyder, CBSSports.com.
1:49
Looking forward to that as we always do at 1:00, a whole lot
1:52
of baseball conversation and then Stephen M Sipple will join
1:56
us. We'll put a bow on Nebraska's
1:58
basketball season. But believe it or not, they
2:00
actually had their their spring game, their football and it was
2:03
not, well, it wasn't 21,000 was the not advertised the
2:10
publicized attendance number for the for the event?
2:14
Didn't they? Don't they usually sell that
2:15
out? I mean, they say they have in
2:17
the past. Yeah, 60 thousand 50,000. 50,000
2:20
range, Yeah, that's more realistic for the most part.
2:23
There's been a couple of those seasons though, that yeah,
2:25
they've had a banked up building.
2:27
Not the case there, no, as the stink of Met Rule hit them on
2:31
that Thursday night. Oh man that was great.
2:34
A 15 to 6 run to finish off the game.
2:36
As as soon as CBS cameras or TBS cameras showed that rule in the
2:40
stand it was over. I would took control.
2:42
Yeah, they did. It was.
2:43
It was a fun night, no doubt. About and we listened to our
2:45
listeners they wanted to hear from SIP once so.
2:47
Is that why you wanted to have a Monday?
2:48
Of course, yeah. Yeah.
2:49
But good. I'm all go for it.
2:51
Yeah, me and Sip were. We were way back, so I'm all for
2:53
it. Heard from plenty of people that
2:55
wanted to hear. In in Houston.
2:56
After yet another prediction gone wrong by Stephen M Simple,
3:01
I wanted to hear him one more time.
3:03
Yeah, we got football conversations certainly to have
3:05
and lots of other things. And I'll tell you what, maybe
3:07
the reason that we didn't see big attendance at the spring
3:09
football game Saturday, it's because a ton of them were still
3:11
down in. You there were Oh God, really?
3:14
They were everywhere. So their plane tickets had the
3:16
Sunday departure non refundable. Yeah, probably so.
3:19
Or maybe the the tax was just a little bit too much so they just
3:22
stuck around. But what?
3:23
Airline other than Southwest and Southwest made a ton of changes.
3:26
Allows you to change without because Southwest has always
3:29
done that. You have to pay if there's an
3:31
upgrade in fair, an uptick rather in fair you have to make
3:34
up the difference. But Southwest is always good to
3:37
I. I love flying Southwest.
3:39
I'm not sure I would anymore with everything that changes and
3:42
assigned seating as opposed to the AB and CI.
3:45
Like that I had issues with Southwest, it was never my
3:48
favorite experience. And bags fly free.
3:51
They did. They did.
3:52
Yeah, and you get the Internet in your chair.
3:55
Sometimes true, sometimes. Most of the time.
4:00
I think there was only one flight.
4:01
Jesus, what a difference it made it.
4:02
You know, it's good to go so fast anyways.
4:05
So what did you watch last night?
4:06
Did you watch the women? I did not very good games.
4:09
They weren't again, you know, twins play in the afternoon.
4:12
So didn't I watched the game did you?
4:13
And. By the way, Circus spent some
4:15
money at Kauffman. Yeah, that they did.
4:17
Absolutely. The bullpen and then there's a
4:19
little a little signage out in right field as well, right
4:22
beside the bullpen. So Circus spent some money.
4:25
I thought it really popped. Have to share that with Mike
4:27
when he joins us on coming up here on Friday.
4:31
Yeah, I watched the home opener for the Royals and the Twins.
4:34
I I love Kauffman State. It's been a while since I've
4:36
been there. There was a couple of years, I
4:38
think 2 for sure, maybe three years in a row.
4:40
We went the whole opening day. Oh, really?
4:43
John Walters, the voice of Iowa State.
4:45
Yeah, Chuck Reed, who now sells sells here at I heart, myself
4:49
and a couple of others that changed.
4:51
But yeah, we did opening day at at Kauffman probably.
4:54
Didn't enjoy an alcoholic beverage or two, huh?
4:58
I think we probably did. Yeah, I think we probably did.
5:00
I just think of the Korea hand. Yeah, no, we did.
5:03
But it was a fun time anyways. Then last night, Cabrera for the
5:07
Cubs, I thought he was outstanding.
5:08
I really did. He pitched a hell of a game last
5:10
night, made it through 6 innings.
5:12
So he got the that under his, under his belt.
5:16
Strike out five or six in the game.
5:19
Again, it's it's the Angels and it's early.
5:21
It's early baseball. But it was just nice to turn on,
5:23
turn on the TV and not change it and just watch Cubs baseball for
5:27
the entire evening. Cabrera gives up one hit.
5:29
Kate Horton was outstanding in his cap.
5:32
You told us a week or two ago about maybe a couple of future
5:34
plays on that. Happy I jumped on the Circa
5:36
Sports app and I got a couple of those in my back pocket, a
5:39
couple bucks just to see if one of those guys can make a big
5:42
jump, certainly this season. And Speaking of betting, your
5:45
dream is dead. What's that?
5:46
There's no undefeated teams left.
5:48
It's already gone. It's done.
5:50
So didn't. Make it on a Monday.
5:51
So if you missed it last week and found this, I think a
5:55
DraftKings right? Yes, it was.
5:57
A team to start the year off 10 and O, nobody's it's over.
6:02
Oh my God. Most of the teams have only
6:04
played four games. There's a couple that have
6:06
played five. The dream is dead.
6:08
You know it could make it to the second week of the baseball.
6:11
Season that's an anomaly I would have to think that at least
6:14
would have gotten closer run for your money and I didn't bet it
6:17
all right since we're starting betting help me out so you know
6:20
I have an Illinois ticket yes and that Illinois ticket is 80
6:23
to 1. There's four teams left yes.
6:27
I think Michigan is head and shoulders and I love Arizona.
6:31
I think Michigan's a better team.
6:33
Do I just take half of the it's not a big bet I I'm going to
6:37
make. I, I, I looked at it last night.
6:39
It's like 1062 bucks, OK or something like that.
6:43
But still, that's a pretty good hit, right?
6:44
For 80 to one. I have like $13 on.
6:48
It that'll get you through a lot of summer nights when you get
6:51
your pup, get your app back out. And I and I and I try to stack
6:55
up, you know, champions like two or three together like to free
6:59
square the Duke in the final four was.
7:02
Whoops. Anyways, So what do I do you
7:07
take because you like Illinois to beat UConn?
7:10
I'm not Even so sure they do that and the numbers going in
7:13
that that direction. Illinois is now 2 1/2.
7:16
If you believe that Illinois is going to get there, it
7:19
simplifies things a lot more because you don't have to worry
7:21
about Michigan, Arizona, just whoever comes out of there.
7:23
There's your hedging opportunity, but I think that's
7:26
a little too. Much will just be killed by
7:27
then, because whoever wins that game right is going to be an
7:30
overwhelming favorite. I mean, very simply, right now
7:33
you just put 50 bucks on the other three teams, you're going
7:36
to make a profit. You're going.
7:38
To UConn is not winning the championship.
7:39
There's only two teams that can win, and one of who's not
7:42
Illinois, it's Arizona's Michigan.
7:44
That's it. That's how I see it.
7:47
Upsets happen. I know, I know they do it, but
7:49
I'm going to die on that hill. I'm going to lose everything or
7:52
I'm going to try and make a little bit of a profit.
7:54
Well, if you're going to do that, then just put like 200 on
7:57
each of them to win the national championship.
7:58
Arizona and Michigan and maybe a little bit more because he
8:01
believed in the Wolverines a little bit more.
8:03
But that's the price. If you, if you're willing to
8:05
stand on the hill, Yukons got no shot, You already got your
8:08
Illinois ticket, then simply do that.
8:11
You're going to guarantee yourself what are the future
8:13
odds right now for those teams to win it?
8:15
All buck 70 on mission. They might be the same like plus
8:18
180 + 170. So you've hedged your basically
8:21
$1000 profit, you're in now for $415.00 with 200 on each of
8:27
them. And with that, they still won't
8:30
be quite back to evil. No or so do or do I do this?
8:34
Do I take if I'm going to put 200 down, do I take say 125 and
8:38
then mess around with 75 bucks, put the Broncos win in the Super
8:42
Bowl with them or put the I love the Chargers.
8:44
I love the Rams, you know, put try to find the Super Bowl
8:47
winner and stack it up. I'm not so sure Yukons the free
8:50
square in women's hoops that we thought it was.
8:52
Did you see the number? I opened up the the app today to
8:55
see what Yukon is favoured over South Carolina in the final
8:58
four. I expected to see double digits.
9:01
It's not. It's not. 6 1/2 Wow, right,
9:04
that's eye opening. It is eye open to what I
9:07
thought. I thought Yukon was just going
9:08
to steamroll through this thing for the women.
9:11
I don't know. So yeah, $200 on each of them.
9:15
It will be a little bit of a profit.
9:16
You'll have something. You'll be up 100 bucks either
9:19
way. If either Arizona or Michigan
9:21
wins, you win at least 100. Dollars they're offering me 11
9:25
to 1, right? Now 11 to 1. 11 to one right now
9:28
to to cash out. Which is a return of what on
9:31
your initial investment like 170 bucks.
9:34
Like, yeah, like 100 and yeah, it's right around there. 160 I
9:37
don't remember exactly. So you take the hedging
9:40
opportunity, guarantee yourself a minimum of about $140.
9:44
If Michigan or Arizona wins, Yukon wins, you're cooked.
9:47
But if you play it that direction, you have that or you
9:50
take the buyout and you're maybe profits a touch more, but you
9:54
got three teams then covered. If you do it that way, all these
9:59
conversations, they I like, I like the math stuff behind it
10:02
and I, I like kind of thinking through, you know, the right way
10:05
to hedge. But I, I would not be like you.
10:08
I would not be willing to die on the hill that Yukon can't do it.
10:10
At minimum. I also put 50 bucks on that.
10:12
Would you? Yeah, I'd, I'd probably do that
10:14
just because I've had so many bad losses throughout the years
10:18
and and so many of those future tickets that didn't have
10:21
actually the financial backing also to really profit on it.
10:25
Yeah, you made a little bit, but not where you could.
10:28
Again, the way that we bet is a lot different, I know, than many
10:32
people out there. Right, Right.
10:33
We're not firing every game, hundreds, thousands of dollars.
10:37
That's not us. We're nickel and dimers.
10:38
I don't bet. I don't bet on a game, period.
10:41
Yeah, and you don't do any game. This would be new if I bet
10:44
Michigan right? But it must be a hedge would be
10:46
a different. Story, yes, absolutely.
10:48
And that's the way you play around with it.
10:49
Well, I have something else to talk to you, maybe off air that
10:52
maybe something that could help you out a little bit.
10:54
There's a lot of those calculators out there that you
10:56
can use. Action Network has one and got a
10:59
new place that I want to run past you that I'm going to be
11:01
talking to later this afternoon. Are you very nice?
11:05
Good stuff. All right, Sports from yesterday
11:08
other than baseball. Addie deal.
11:11
I guess we should start there. Shocking.
11:14
Did. Did.
11:15
Did this catch everybody off guard?
11:17
Did, Did you get wind of this at all?
11:20
Was there any talk in Houston? I know you're there to see the
11:23
men, but it is Iowa and it is basketball.
11:25
You know how conversations go, right?
11:27
Exactly. There was nothing that I heard
11:29
definitively, but I think you could see that that's
11:34
potentially could happen. She had a disappointing year.
11:37
Trend. She was not good.
11:38
Yeah, let's be frank. Mm Hmm.
11:39
She was not good. And, and whose fault was that
11:42
was It was. Well, she was a five star, so
11:44
I'm not going to blame the fan base for that.
11:46
Yeah. She was not the one, but when
11:48
you look at somebody that is going to turn 21 before next
11:52
basketball season begins, she's old.
11:55
Yeah, also relatively speaking, when Yes, right.
12:00
Compared to what'll be normal sophomores.
12:02
Right. The second part of that is one
12:06
of the people that helped build up that ranking for Addie Diehl
12:10
is also her agent. Oh Jesus, really?
12:14
How does that happen? Now she was a McDonald's All
12:16
American, but there was 1 recruiting service that had her
12:19
not a top ten player in the country, not a top five player
12:21
in the country, a top 25 player in the country.
12:24
The expectations coupled with age, maybe a a bump up in
12:29
profile at minimum. She didn't look overly athletic.
12:33
She didn't look like a game changer that way.
12:36
She shot 29% from 3. She shot 39% from the floor.
12:40
She when she had the ball, how many times did she drive into
12:43
the lane? No idea what she was going to
12:45
do. It didn't look like it was a
12:46
basketball IQ that was through the roof.
12:49
She was a disappointment and you couple that with rumblings.
12:55
Was there frustration that she didn't get more minutes when she
12:58
got pulled out of the starting line up after being asserted?
13:00
Probably that was part of it, because if she's a McDonald's
13:03
All American, she never came off the bench in her life.
13:06
Right, exactly. And got the opportunity after
13:08
the McCabe injury. All right, she's in there.
13:10
Well, they lost three in a row. She played great in the Ohio
13:12
State game when McCabe got injured, she was excellent.
13:14
By far her best game of the season against a quality
13:17
opponent came in that game, knocked down some threes against
13:20
Oregon. But you look through there
13:22
weren't a whole lot of big moments, certainly for Addie
13:24
deal this season. Can she get better?
13:26
Yes. Will she get better?
13:28
Absolutely. Mm.
13:29
Hmm. You saw her play quite a bit
13:32
this year. Does she look like the kind of
13:33
player that's gonna turn into an All American?
13:34
No, I mean, I was a nice player, right?
13:37
I was kind of confused as to as to why she came with all of
13:42
those accolades. And then, you know, you wanna
13:44
is, is it the fan base? Did they just expect too much
13:47
from her? But but she arrives as a
13:49
McDonald's all American. So it's that's not on the fan
13:52
base. We'll see where it goes.
13:54
And look, she's not going to be the last in the era that we're
13:57
in right now. As we all know this is going to
14:00
happen more often than not. Although I do see there's
14:02
another bill back in front of in in Washington.
14:05
I think Tommy Tuberville is now Senator.
14:10
One five years to play, 5, one transfer.
14:15
If you transfer the second time, you have to sit out a year.
14:18
I like it. I don't think it has a chance of
14:21
passing, but I like it. Get that opportunity, get that
14:24
free square. But if it's going to happen, we
14:26
go back to the old way of doing it.
14:28
I think there's a lot more problems than that in college
14:30
athletics and the freedom movement.
14:33
Are we also going to put that same stipulation in though for
14:35
coaches? No.
14:38
Well, the answer to that. Because they are employees,
14:41
Yeah, College athletes are not in employees.
14:42
And they tell that changes. When that changes, we're going
14:45
to have the same conversations and these same kind of things.
14:48
Before we get to Mike here real quick, Ryan Schultz, Cedar Falls
14:51
basketball coach, boys basketball coach.
14:54
He's had a ton of success, as you well know.
14:56
Absolutely. He resigned yesterday.
14:58
Does that does that line up with any you and I stuff that's?
15:02
That's exactly where my mind went first.
15:04
Well, it's not, yeah. I mean it's it seems like is
15:06
this happening? Right that he moving up, become
15:10
an assistant coach, whatever it is.
15:12
With who? With Tuttle or with Green?
15:13
Who do you think the favorite is right now?
15:15
I still think it's Tuttle, but that will be interesting too, to
15:18
see exactly how that plays out it and the green part of it,
15:21
which initially I felt like I'm not so sure.
15:26
Maybe having to take a pay cut at minimum, you're not going to
15:29
bump up its salary to do that, but looking for an opportunity.
15:32
Obviously the connections that he has to Cedar Falls.
15:35
Son obviously is is. Is he the highest?
15:39
Has he made more money than any Panther?
15:42
Yes, because the first nickel that he earned no NBA player had
15:46
ever played. No, no in in all sports.
15:49
I mean cause 'cause how much did Warner make?
15:52
Oh, probably a good. Chance.
15:54
So Green still probably got a little bit one more contract to
15:57
go before he surpasses Kurt Warner.
15:59
Outside of the NBA, like when Waterloo had a team in recent
16:03
history, the last 70 years, he was the first Panther to ever
16:06
play in the NBA. But yeah, overall, I still would
16:09
anticipate it was Kurt Warner. Yeah, it's not the salaries of
16:12
today, right? And what has AJ made?
16:14
I mean, he got that second con. 5 million guaranteed.
16:17
Up until this point, he'd made 6.
16:19
Kurt Warner, I'm I'm interested in this one.
16:22
Career earnings. Take a take a guess.
16:25
What do you think he made My number was like, I haven't hit
16:28
enter yet. I was at like 70 million.
16:31
That was the range that I was thinking.
16:33
He's replayed at the wrong time. Yes, he did.
16:36
You know what? I'll go with yours.
16:38
You know, let me. Just to be different, I'll say
16:41
Kurt Warner made 60. Let's see here add it all up.
16:46
Cap charge don't care about that base salary but bonus cash paid
16:51
51.4. Million, you're making that in a
16:54
year now, right? Making that in a year.
16:57
And his final year with the Rams he made 8.7.
17:00
Pretty good deal his first year with the Rams, 153,000.
17:04
Isn't that something? That's filed.
17:05
Isn't that something the running back David playing for Arizona?
17:12
David Johnson. Johnson, thank you.
17:14
He couldn't have made that. No, no, absolutely not.
17:18
No. So it's got to be green.
17:20
Yeah. I would think.
17:21
I don't think we're missing anybody.
17:22
I. Don't think so either.
17:23
All right, let's get Mike in Waterloo.
17:25
We'll watch that. Kevin Layman coming up.
17:27
More on that at the bottom of the hour.
17:29
Mike, thanks for being patient. How are you?
17:32
Oh, pretty good. It was a well, Iowa State did
17:35
about as good as they could. But they had a hell of a year.
17:38
They had a heck of you. I ain't griping about that.
17:40
But you know who's the most important player coming back
17:43
next year? Plato.
17:46
I tell you, if they can get him up to 25260, he can run the
17:50
court like a deer. And you know, when he has his
17:53
back to the basket, he's pretty handy.
17:55
I liked him. Yeah, we never got to see him
17:59
doing the offensive moves because the Jeffrey, well, we
18:01
had guys with more seniority. But next year I even think he
18:06
could play power forward. What do you guys?
18:08
Think I'm not sure I would be willing to go there.
18:11
Mike, thanks for the call. I mean, I don't know.
18:17
I don't think he's, I don't think he's his footwork is that
18:19
good to be a power forward? I think he's in the right place.
18:22
You don't want to take play to play out of the five, do you?
18:24
I don't think so. I don't either.
18:26
I don't see the skill set that. Goes along with I do like the
18:28
fact that you can, you've got something to build there.
18:31
I mean, I, I, I don't think we've seen the seen the pinnacle
18:35
of his career by any means. I thought he had a nice year.
18:38
I thought all of the freshmen had a nice year.
18:40
Bateman certainly had his moment.
18:41
Toure was unbelievable. I could just plug in a tape and
18:44
just watch this guy play defense.
18:46
And you got Mitchell coming off the injury, right?
18:48
There was a lot of buzz about him.
18:49
He's a junior. No, no, no, no.
18:51
That's Mason Williams. That's Williams.
18:53
Yeah. No, the other one that
18:55
redshirted this year because of injury.
18:57
I know Mitchell's a guy that at least there's some hope for
18:59
going forward, that there are some good things hurt.
19:01
Yeah. Better.
19:03
They're in a good place. There's holes to fill for the
19:05
portal, You know, you got to get some rentals, There's no doubt,
19:09
but this program? Ran 6 kid who played at Colorado
19:12
this year. He's in the portal.
19:13
That makes some sense right? Absolutely.
19:15
Watch that kid from Saint Mary's, 7 foot 3 center.
19:18
He's going to end up somewhere. Hope he ends up in the state.
19:21
Eight points, 9 rebounds. You look right.
19:23
Three, $4 million. That's they do come with a price
19:27
tag that's a little steep, isn't?
19:28
It had a caller that mentioned another Panther.
19:31
That made a bunch of money. That is making a bunch of money
19:34
and is going to surpass that. Another Panther.
19:40
You saw him in the playoffs this year.
19:45
Who? Spencer Brown.
19:46
Oh. Spencer Brown.
19:48
Yes. Yeah, how much is what?
19:50
What's he making this year? So he's signed.
19:52
A really good one. Last year coming in for A to
19:55
Buffalo, a four year $72 million. 20 Really. 19 and .8
20:00
how much he's earned about 31 million, but if he gets to the
20:03
fruition to the end of that contract.
20:04
And how old is he now? Late. 20s That's a good
20:07
question. Spencer Brown.
20:09
Yeah, probably late 20s pushing. 28 Yep, just turned 28 back in
20:13
February. Spencer Brown Goodwin, That's a
20:15
good Paul. Hell yeah.
20:16
Yes, forget all about him. So a nice job.
20:20
He has done a nice job and his running mate on that team is now
20:24
in Charger Phil. Is that where he is I.
20:27
Think. So was with the Saints.
20:28
Was. With the Saints, I think he was,
20:30
he finished with the Chargers last year and they just needed
20:34
bodies. We'll we'll see where it goes.
20:35
But yeah, Spencer Brown going to make a lot, a lot of money, no
20:38
doubt about that. All right, you hearing anything
20:40
Iowa wise is what they're doing. I saw there's an official visit
20:44
coming up, basketball related. Have you seen anything as far as
20:48
what McCollum is about to do? Yeah, so I believe it starts
20:51
either today or tomorrow. Tom Caker was the first I saw
20:53
reporting that it will be Jaden Kuhn will make his visit to Iowa
20:57
City. So you got that one rolling.
20:59
Is he first? Is is Iowa first on the list for
21:01
him? 1st on the list in the way that
21:03
Tom worded it. Currently the only one on the
21:06
list. Really.
21:09
Now, will that continue? We'll see.
21:12
I continue to believe it's going to happen that this.
21:14
Only went on the list because everyone knows he's going to
21:17
Iowa OR. Or he's just saying no to other
21:19
opportunities because he knows he's going to Iowa.
21:23
I would be surprised if he doesn't make his commitment to
21:25
hawk to the Hawkeyes here very soon.
21:28
Then after that, it's just the wild speculation and you see it.
21:31
A guy goes in the portal and then every fan base, absolutely,
21:36
we got a shot. This is our guy that absolutely
21:39
you find some convoluted way that an AAU coach was buddies
21:42
with an assistant, you know, you have all these different things.
21:44
But at this point I haven't seen anything definitive, anything
21:47
that I've heard from anybody that would know at this point,
21:50
anything that's locked in. They feel good though, and I
21:53
think they feel good about where they all are spending wise.
21:56
I continue to hear. Keep an eye on Alvaro.
22:00
It's you're not alone. I see that a lot I.
22:02
I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that he'll be back
22:05
and. So who's at and and at who's?
22:08
I mean, who ultimately does he want to be back?
22:11
Don't know. I mean, that had to be
22:13
frustrating for him too. Sure.
22:15
And with what he did in the tournament before the game
22:18
against Illinois. Is unbelievable.
22:19
His biggest shot as I was made in years.
22:21
Decades. I am going to anticipate that
22:24
there is an opportunity for him to make more in the open market
22:28
than he would in Iowa City this year.
22:30
And even if it was a two year deal, maybe it just makes
22:32
financial sense for him to go that direction because he became
22:35
a star and you put together that highlight package and doing it
22:38
and he's got it against Florida and against Nebraska in big
22:41
moments. Yeah, that's definitely going to
22:44
open up some HE. Got aggressive when he was going
22:47
to the basket during the tournament.
22:49
He was taking on some dudes and just not flinching 1 little bit.
22:53
I'd really love the way that his year was going until the very
22:56
last game of the year against obviously Illinois when he
23:01
didn't see the floor other than the 9 minutes.
23:02
And that was based on, I guess, what a feeling for McCollum.
23:05
So whatever. All right, 1225, Kevin Layman
23:08
coming up. One more on the you and I front.
23:11
A caller just passed along another name.
23:13
We missed another name. Now I have no clue.
23:16
But you but you've. Heard of this person?
23:17
You've heard of this person? Come on.
23:19
You know this person. You bet.
23:20
This person. There it is.
23:23
What do you think he has heard in his career?
23:25
Not as a player. No, as a coach.
23:26
But as a coach, career earnings for Nick Nurse.
23:31
You got to put it in that category, right?
23:33
Yeah. And now you know where.
23:35
Nowhere near Nowhere near 30. Let's see here, 58 years old as
23:41
we go to sport. Trek ton of money.
23:43
I'm not. I'm not trying to minimize what
23:45
he's done. Career earnings, fines,
23:47
suspensions. Oh, it doesn't have anything on
23:50
sport track with how? How about track?
23:52
Just current Sixers contract. What are the Raptors?
23:56
Pay him. So I'm going back here.
23:59
He signed a three-year deal in 2018 followed by a four year
24:03
extension that was 8 million a year, 8 million.
24:05
He's making reportedly between 8:00 and a half, $9 million a
24:08
year now. So as we go through that and you
24:11
look 10 years at, I mean, that's $80 million, Nick Nurse.
24:17
Championship coach. Yes, he is.
24:20
Yeah, he was on a float in a parade in downtown Chronic.
24:23
And he's got a deal now with those Philly fans.
24:25
Oh my God. I'm not someone.
24:26
Well, we'll see. I didn't look good for him
24:29
earlier in the year, but we'll see.
24:32
Anyways, we'll take a time out. Kevin Layman.
24:33
That's great. Nick Nurse.
24:35
Spencer Brown, AJ Green, we'll see if the old man follows in
24:41
there. Kyle Green does, apparently he's
24:43
made it known according to Colbert.
24:44
Who covers you and I? Kevin Layman.
24:48
Next, more on the Panthers and where they go.
24:50
Matt Snyder, Major League Baseball conversation starts our
24:53
second hour of the show and then Stephen M Sipple will join us at
24:57
about 1:30. For you folks over listening on
25:00
the Sioux City affiliate, we're glad that you are wherever
25:03
you're listening to Miller and Condon on the Iowa Sports Radio
25:06
Network. Right 1230 welcome back Miller
25:16
and Condon, Iowa sports radio network Sioux City Cedar Rapids,
25:21
IA city Davenport, you're Des Moines sports station one O 6.3
25:25
KX and ultra and I take you until 2O clock Matt Snyder
25:29
CBSSports.com leads off our second hour.
25:32
We'll talk Major League Baseball with our buddy Matt Snyder and
25:35
then sip. We'll put a bow on Nebraska's a
25:37
basketball season and recap spring football for us, for
25:40
those folks over in Sioux City and throughout the state of
25:43
Iowa. Nebraska, the fans, Big 10 fans,
25:45
Nebraska haters, they all TuneIn for simple.
25:48
Here's Kevin Lehman. He is a former coach of you and
25:52
I. He called a bunch of Ben
25:55
Jacobson's game, literally dozens, hundreds, maybe over the
25:58
year. How many do you think you called
26:00
Kevin? I think it's got to be up there
26:03
over 100. You mentioned that 16 years I've
26:05
been doing Valley games. I think my first game was Adam
26:08
Emenecker's senior year is actually the game at Northern
26:12
Iowa. I was with Rob Brooks and the
26:15
Bulldogs won the title outright with that win.
26:19
Nice, good stuff. Well, did you get were there any
26:22
rumblings, I guess Kevin, that the coach Jacobson might be
26:27
entertaining other offers after the season came to an end in the
26:31
in the tournament? Was this known that perhaps that
26:35
you and I is going to have a vacancy in the men's basketball
26:37
program? Ken I had a gut feeling and it
26:40
was nothing, just a vibe from being around there because you
26:43
know, I go up there for game day, shoot arounds and hang
26:45
around with Jake a little bit. But I told my compadres at the
26:51
Valley Arch Madness when his name was leaked for the Kansas
26:55
State job. You know, obviously he's not
26:57
going to get that Big 12 job, but they don't leak that unless
27:01
he's starting to look. So I thought Jeff Goodman
27:03
leaking that out was a sign that maybe he was looking after 20
27:07
years, 25 years at the school. And also the fact that his son,
27:11
Hunter Jacobson, had exhausted his eligibility.
27:15
He was going to graduate. His other son, Tanner, is a
27:17
sophomore Nebraska, I thought. So I'm thinking if he's going to
27:20
move, this is probably the time to do it. 55 years old, ton of
27:26
success ends in an NCAA tournament, kind of took the
27:29
program now in this new era of the valley and the finances at
27:33
you and I, that's another component too.
27:35
He made a lot of money in comparison to what's happening.
27:37
We see obviously the contract that steps steps Scott when he
27:41
took the football job a year ago and they're just swimming in
27:43
different waters than most of their brethren in the Missouri
27:46
Valley, both football and basketball in a way.
27:49
I mean, is this financially maybe an OK thing for you and I
27:53
basketball just knowing that it's a tough environment now and
27:56
finance is not great up in Cedar Falls?
28:00
Well, yeah, the Valley, if you look at Ben Jason's contract and
28:04
it was really well done. He was going to be top 3IN
28:06
salary in the Valley every year. That was part of the contract
28:10
and he's going to have money to buy guarantee games, which is
28:13
becoming huge now in the Valley. It's actually the Drake model
28:17
that Darren Debris started. Let's buy some home games rather
28:20
than selling ourselves to go on the road to play those power
28:23
conference teams. Because Jake told me this, I was
28:26
with him on the Nick Nurse golf fight a couple summers going.
28:28
He was actually on the phone doing some scheduling at that
28:31
time. He said, you know, I used to try
28:32
to schedule as difficult as I could and we'd be like, you
28:35
know, seven and five or something.
28:37
Nobody's be talking about it. And Drake was pulled off 10 and
28:40
110 and twos and everyone was talking about the reason Drake
28:44
is I'm switching to that model. We're going to try and get wins
28:46
in non conference. So there's a little buzz going
28:48
about a program. We saw him do that the last two
28:51
years and I think he had the funds from Megan Franklin coming
28:54
from Drake that that was a model to follow.
28:58
Interesting. Kevin Layman is our guest.
29:00
Well, Kevin, who? Who do you think right now would
29:03
would be the favorite to replace him?
29:06
Obviously Seth Tuttle was the name the very quickly everybody
29:09
started to, you know, point to Tuttle.
29:11
He's going to get he's going to get a call.
29:13
Kyle Green's name comes up. What about a guy like Ali Farouq
29:17
Minesh, who it might be tough to get away from from Fort Collins,
29:20
admittedly, but but clearly hit may be as big a shot as the
29:24
Panthers have ever hit. That was that reverberated and
29:28
does every March when they show that over and over and over
29:31
again. What are some names that make
29:33
some sense and who do you think is the favorite right now?
29:36
Well, I'm kind of right where you're at.
29:38
I think it's down to two people now.
29:39
Ali would be great, but I think you can look at the Mount W,
29:43
which is now soon to be the new PAC 12.
29:46
That's the multiple, that's the multiple bid league.
29:47
The problem with the valley now, and I've seen this with coach
29:50
and Ben, Jason had said this to me back in December, This comes
29:54
down to three games in March. No matter how well you do in the
29:57
league, you got to win three games in March.
30:00
It's going to be a one bid league.
30:01
Mount W had fourteens in last year with this new PAC 12 Cannon
30:05
Trail I got, I think this is, you know, with Gonzaga in there,
30:09
they took the best teams on the Mountain West and San Diego
30:12
State, Utah State. Then you got Oregon State in
30:16
Washington state. I think this is a 2, maybe a
30:18
three bid league. So for Ali to give that up, I
30:22
think the budget's probably going to be better, much better
30:24
in this league as far as NIL. And today, guys, you know, it's
30:27
how much NIL money do I have to accumulate players?
30:31
So I think there's a Kyle Green in a set pedal.
30:34
It's a 2. It's a 2 horse race.
30:36
Yeah, the buyout for for Openesh is way too much for you and I
30:40
Yeah, he is. He is averaging, he's going to
30:43
make $150,000 this year and it goes up to $1,000,000 at the end
30:46
of the contract. The buyout 33% of the remaining
30:49
that you and I just can't afford that set.
30:52
Tuttle, Trent. Let me ask you this though, did
30:54
you see EU and I contract? There was no buyout.
30:57
Yeah, zip. That was maybe a miss.
31:01
Yeah, maybe a miss on that front.
31:03
When you're a mid major, you need to get something on the way
31:06
out the door. And that, that's one I think you
31:08
got to point back to the AD that handed out that contract and say
31:11
that was definitely a miss. Set Tuttle.
31:13
One thing that I've always heard about him is we remember him as
31:15
a player. You see him on the bench.
31:17
Oh, wait, look, there's Set Tuttle.
31:18
But his basketball acumen, a lot of people have told me, really
31:23
considered at a high level. Can you tell us a little bit
31:26
about him, X's and O's, and why he is thought to be so well
31:30
regarded in college basketball circles?
31:32
But when AJ Green was came into you and I, they changed their
31:36
offense and Seth Tunnel brought that offense from when he played
31:39
in Europe. And so he is the offensive guru.
31:43
He's been the offensive coordinator.
31:45
I know this team had some, this leader was at some inconsistent
31:49
offensive outing. Their defense was good enough to
31:51
carry him through many of those times before the injuries hit.
31:54
But he is their offensive guru, highly competitive.
31:58
You know, he's probably about the same age Jake was when he
32:01
got the job, so I don't think that's an issue.
32:04
And he knows the landscape. He knows the booster landscape,
32:07
he knows the recruiting landscape.
32:09
And I guess Cal Green does too. You know this, you guys are like
32:12
neck and neck. So you know the best of both
32:15
worlds. You get Cal Green and you take
32:17
that fellows associate head coach.
32:19
I don't know if that's going to work or not, but yeah, I would
32:21
have complete Faith and Steph Tuttle taking all this program
32:24
because of his background. Can you draw a line at all
32:27
towards the resignation of Ryan Schultz at Cedar Falls High
32:32
School? Won a bunch, the state
32:33
championships that sort of came out of the blue at the same
32:37
time, same day Ben Jacobson resigned.
32:39
Anything there that he might at least be joining the staff?
32:44
Boy, not that I know, Ken. I don't know of any connection
32:47
there. He's had some great players come
32:48
out there and I don't know who's heading to.
32:52
I've heard rumors who's heading the Utah State with Coach Jake.
32:55
I know, you know, he feels really strong about PJ Hogan,
32:59
who's the defensive coordinator. He's kind of replaced Kyle Green
33:02
as their defensive guru. I tell you, when you go to
33:04
Jake's practice now, it's interesting.
33:06
On his game day, shoot around, he said.
33:08
Stands on the sideline. The assistants run the entire
33:11
thing. I would say not the entire
33:13
thing, but about 80% complete. The opposite of what I saw Ben
33:16
McCallum do where he's doing about 80 to 90% of game day prep
33:20
and he lets his assistance, he gives him the full reign to do
33:23
that as complete trust and steps over on the offense making
33:26
adjustments whether it's PJ or Coach G running the defensive
33:29
scout that time. So it's it's he's got complete
33:33
trust and feels comfortable designating those areas to his
33:37
assistance. Is it too early, Kevin, to
33:40
speculate about a couple of guys following Coach Jake out to Utah
33:43
State? I think at the top of the list,
33:45
Will Hornset and what we saw out of him.
33:47
Now, he wouldn't be a center, I don't think, in the new PAC 12.
33:49
But certainly as a power forward, you think that could
33:51
translate well? And the other one with another
33:53
year of eligibility, Leon Bond began his career at Virginia.
33:56
He's been excellent for the Panthers.
33:58
Too early or could you maybe connect some dots that there's
34:01
going to be some guys going with him out to Utah?
34:04
I think you got to throw Ben Schweiger in that mix too,
34:06
because he's applying for an extra year of injuries he had at
34:09
Loyola. So I think there's three guys
34:11
that are going to be in that mix and here's where it becomes
34:14
really interesting for Ben Jacobson because if they hire
34:18
Kyle Green or Steph fellow close friends with Ben Jackson, does
34:23
he come in and take those players with him?
34:25
I mean that that's a tough one there.
34:27
Do you believe that covered completely Barrett Northern Iowa
34:30
because it happened to him. They were Doug McDermott signed
34:32
with you and I and he went with Max the Creighton.
34:36
Do you do that to your to your your old staff that they would
34:40
get the job? So, but if you listened to the
34:42
press conference yesterday, did you guys I did not.
34:46
First of all, who has who has outgoing press conference?
34:48
You guys listen to that? It is Ben Jenks at his best
34:54
complete class and he says it's up.
34:56
We're going to have a discussion with these guys what's best for
34:58
them in the future. He's all he's all about creating
35:04
young men out of those players and letting them make decisions
35:07
in life. So you did tune of that.
35:09
It's really a class act. You mentioned Doug McDermott,
35:11
his dad Greg obviously announced his retirement.
35:14
He is no longer going to be paroling the the courts at head
35:20
coach Creighton. Your thoughts on and somebody
35:22
called in Trent to our discussion about guys that made
35:24
a lot of money. Former you and I Panthers and
35:27
Greg McDermott might be on the list, but you'll never know
35:29
because Creighton doesn't report how much the earnings are.
35:33
But but nonetheless, bless your thoughts on McDermott and his
35:35
career. Boy, 60 years old, I think the
35:38
NIL is probably what he got tired of because much like coach
35:42
Jake and some other coaches, they're about development,
35:45
keeping guys in a program, creating a family atmosphere.
35:48
That's the one thing Jake did it Northern Iowa, he pulled
35:51
together all those guys you know that played for you go back to
35:55
Norm Stewart, Jim Barry, Eldon Miller, you pull them all
35:59
together. We had 125 year reunion this
36:01
fall where we had guys that played in the 60s came back when
36:05
they're their letter and so he did that and that's in that same
36:08
boat. So I just think just from what I
36:10
heard, I got a son that lives in Omaha.
36:12
Grant just move back to the boy, but he's well in touch with
36:15
Creighton that Max just kind of got tired of that NIL fight and
36:19
the fact that you couldn't keep players and develop them.
36:23
Owen Freeman got 2 coaches to walk away, one fired and the
36:26
other one walking away. All.
36:29
Right, that's not very kind. All right, let's get back into
36:31
it. Kevin, you're been in the state
36:34
of Iowa for a long time. I know you grew up watching the
36:36
Hawkeyes as a lot of us did this run to the Elite Eight, first
36:39
time since 1987, getting to the Sweet 16 for the first time
36:44
since 1999. Ben McCollum and your number
36:47
one, obviously a rousing success.
36:49
Just your thoughts overall and what you saw from McCollum and
36:51
and thoughts going forward. Well, I thought the run to the
36:55
NCA, Trump was completely unexpected by me.
36:57
I in preseason, I said they're going to be about 10 and 10 in
37:02
the Big 10 and a bubble team. Well, they certainly surpassed
37:04
that. And we saw him coach at Drake,
37:08
but this is a team that didn't have a lot of talent once you
37:10
get past starts. I thought it was one of the best
37:13
coaching jobs I've ever seen, especially when he got in the
37:16
NCAA tournament. The win over Florida was just a
37:18
magnificent. Then to come back and beat the
37:20
Nebraska team that he split with during the season.
37:23
But I tell you what, guys, I do have a question.
37:25
What happened to Alvaro Vulgaris in that game against Illinois?
37:29
How can? You not be shot in the.
37:31
Second-half, yes, yeah. I didn't understand because
37:34
it's, you know, and this was a contracted defense.
37:36
Illinois had packed the paint. They need 3 point shoes.
37:40
I know that the pole was AI need manual on there for physicality
37:44
on the glass, but they need somebody to stretch that
37:46
defense. I was really surprised that Paul
37:49
Garris got sat in almost the entire second-half.
37:52
Yeah. No doubt about it.
37:53
Who's the best team left? Kevin of the Four.
37:57
I think it's Arizona, although I think Michigan's pretty good.
37:59
But Arizona's a little bit old school, you know, They don't
38:02
shoot a lot of threes. They're pretty effective, that's
38:04
true. They shoot, but they are big and
38:06
strong. They're gonna attack the glass,
38:08
attack the pink. I just think the the
38:10
physicality. But when you get Michigan team,
38:13
wow, I think that championship game is probably going to be
38:16
Saturday. Night it is.
38:17
It absolutely. Is Anything else, TC?
38:20
Good stuff, Kevin. Thanks for lending us your
38:22
expertise on this. It's going to happen quickly,
38:25
don't you think? Well, we know by the end of the
38:27
week who's taking Ben Jacobson's place.
38:30
We have to, right? Yes, you know, in the portal
38:33
era, getting players to speed dating and so is the coaching
38:38
carousel. I got one last thought.
38:40
Think of this Golden Iowa's been to 9 NCA tournaments.
38:44
Ben Jason's been involved in eight of them, 5 as the head
38:48
coach, 3 as an assistant. That's amazing legacy that he's
38:51
leaving. No at Banterland.
38:53
No question. No question about it.
38:54
Good stuff, Kevin. Thanks for jumping on Kevin
38:56
Layman. Enjoy it.
38:57
Appreciate it. Hi guys, my pleasure.
39:00
Yep. Good to talk to you Kevin
39:01
Lehman, basketball analyst, as we take a look at you and I when
39:05
today, tomorrow make that call. Do you think you can get them
39:08
both? Not sure.
39:12
Would both want to do that? Would one want to acquiesce to
39:14
the other? Probably not.
39:16
I don't think so. Greens.
39:18
This is his last stop, right doing.
39:20
He's 55. If he goes back to you and I,
39:23
he's probably not going to be looking to jump.
39:26
Fair. It would have to be something
39:27
that happened very quick, like right makes the next three NCAA
39:31
tournaments pulls an upset or two in there.
39:33
And then he'd be 60 and. Right then 5859 and possibly
39:37
right there could be an. Opportunity.
39:39
It's a Tuttle, on the other hand.
39:40
Yes, so. Does that come into the into the
39:44
decision process? Well, and Seth Tuttle's married
39:47
to a deary and for people in the Cedar Valley.
39:49
They don't. Does the auto deary's Yes, Yeah.
39:51
Good for you, Seth. Tuttle, absolutely.
39:53
Well, he's got to probably have some assurances that, hey, we're
39:56
going to be able to keep our players, maybe go out and get a
40:00
player too. And if he doesn't have that,
40:04
it's your alma mater, it's a place you love.
40:05
However, does it make more sense to go and be an assistant coach?
40:10
With Ben Jacobson for another year and keep moving up, moving
40:13
up the ladder that way, yeah, it's got to be a tough spot.
40:16
Right. Did you see that picture of
40:17
Tuttle Walk in the corridor at the MacLeod Center?
40:19
That's that phone too is here, Yeah.
40:21
Absolutely. A lot of folks.
40:22
Spent a lot of time on that phone.
40:24
Yes, but for I didn't realize you're married to a Deering.
40:27
Yes. There's one here, right?
40:28
Deary brother There is on what's the road to Southeast Poke?
40:33
Out there, Altoona somewhere, Yeah, Miller's.
40:36
Congress, do you? Got it. 12:45, a baseball
40:40
conversation to start off our number 2.
40:42
We're back to wrap up the first hour of our program, Miller and
40:45
Condon on the Iowa Sports Radio Network.
40:58
I'm Miller. Condon.
40:59
Welcome back Iowa Sports Radio Network our final segment here
41:05
in the first hour of the program has reported TODAY Sports
41:07
Business Journal trends. I'm not sure if you've seen it
41:09
or not. The flag football women's flag
41:12
football in the Big 12 potentially on the cusp of
41:15
forming a relationship. Your mark says that they could
41:19
be ready to have a six teams minimum of six teams beginning
41:24
play in 2028 as schools looked at another women's sport to keep
41:29
compliant with the Title 9 amongst other things.
41:34
Your thoughts You know, just real quick, just here here are
41:37
the numbers and I had no idea 20 million players worldwide in the
41:41
United States they've seen it's played in the high school level
41:45
in 3939 States and participation climbed 60% year over year.
41:51
So girls are playing 39 states. Doesn't make sense.
41:55
I think it does, and it's something that continues to
41:58
grow. 2 weekends ago I flipped on Tom Brady's thing.
42:02
It was on one of the TV's for a while.
42:03
His flag Football League, where it was the professional flag
42:07
football players against a bunch of NFL guys.
42:09
And this because it's coming to the Olympics.
42:11
Yes, now he also had one of the idiot Paul brothers was out
42:14
there. I don't even know which one he
42:16
was hollered and shoving people and beat an idiot.
42:18
But. That's what makes his living
42:21
right? Exactly.
42:21
The flag. Very well, yes.
42:23
The flag football guys, though, they're beating up the NFL.
42:25
Guys are where they really. Oh yeah, absolutely.
42:27
Because it's just a different game and you just can't go out
42:30
there and though it's football, it's a different kind of
42:33
football. And I think it's got a chance.
42:35
I I'm intrigued at minimum by this.
42:38
Would Pollard dip his toe into the water, do you think?
42:41
Probably not, unless they have to for Title 9 reasons.
42:44
I think that would be the reason behind it.
42:46
But we talked a lot about wrestling and the possibility of
42:48
that. Maybe this is kind of an easier
42:50
bridge. What sport would be economically
42:54
more feasible to offer? Wrestling or flag football?
42:59
I mean, you're not playing. This is Jack Trice, are you?
43:01
No. God, no, no, this is played in a
43:04
field somewhere. I mean like at the soccer field,
43:06
you know, something like that. You're doing something much more
43:09
small scale. And yeah, field wise, I I don't
43:11
know what makes sense. You're not going to make a
43:13
dedicated flight football stadium, but but there were
43:16
facilities that you already have.
43:18
Maybe it could make sense. I don't hate it.
43:21
You know how we sometimes just hate things right away.
43:23
But this was one I was like. Not bad.
43:26
I was kind of skeptical and then I read the piece and then saw
43:31
how many how many girls are participating?
43:34
39 states are offering. It's 60% growth year to year.
43:38
That tells me that this catches is catching on.
43:40
Men's and women's flag football will be a part of the 2028
43:44
Olympics, so that doesn't. Hurt.
43:45
No, not at all, right? Yes, it's grown.
43:48
It continues to grow. A growing sport in a football
43:51
star place. Where do you put it?
43:53
You put in the spring, make it a spring sport.
43:57
Now we got football in the spring.
43:58
Throw it in the fall. No, you can't do it in the.
44:00
Fall, it's going to get lost. Yep, Yep, make it out right now.
44:04
Yeah, starts in April, ends of June, something like that.
44:07
Smaller season, play eight games and I, I don't even know, can
44:12
you play 3 games a week? There's this something where you
44:15
can do that and you can actually get a bunch of games in because
44:18
it's not the same grind of a football game where at best
44:21
you're playing weekly. Maybe you can play a bunch of
44:24
games and you have tournaments and you do the like.
44:26
I'm intrigued at minimum by this idea.
44:29
Your mark. This is better than some of the
44:31
ones that we've come up with, including I've Been a fan, a
44:33
glass floor. Yeah, that that didn't work, but
44:35
you know what his credit, he realized it didn't work and went
44:38
to the expense and the might be more so the embarrassment of
44:41
having to wave the white flag and to admit defeat pull the.
44:43
Plug on that one he. Did he got?
44:45
It he got the media back courtside.
44:47
Yeah, which made them happy, Yes, the XFL Don't they play all
44:51
their games in one city? One of the those God forsaken
44:54
leagues they have. I don't know if they still do
44:56
what you're asking. Yes, for a while.
44:59
But I, I. Does it make sense to do to just
45:02
everybody converge on? Or do you rotate and you have a
45:06
weekend series and once a year we're going to be in Ames and
45:09
once we're going to be in Stillwater and then we're going
45:11
to be in Lubbock? Everybody gets there.
45:12
There's game one after another after another.
45:14
And you get 8 games or whatever and you play a couple games over
45:17
the weekend and boom, you just do it.
45:18
That direction I again, this is out of my realm of understanding
45:22
the way that it works, but I think a good idea.
45:25
So you actually spent time consuming Tom Brady's flag
45:28
football? Game it was on one of the.
45:29
And it was OK. It was on one of the TV's.
45:34
I wouldn't go that far. I saw your boy Joe Burrell out
45:38
there. Killing it.
45:39
Nope, missed on 1/4 down completion.
45:43
I saw one play offensively from the other team.
45:45
They scored a touch. They.
45:46
Ran the wrong rule, but yeah. Sounds like you got some Bengals
45:49
tickets in that pocket. Yeah, every year, every year.
45:54
All right, our number 2. Let's get to baseball with our
45:57
friend Matt Snyder, CBSSports.com.
45:59
What has he seen so far this year?
46:01
I love the ABS system, I really do.
46:04
I think it's great the long Overdue will do that with him.
46:07
Obviously a lot of baseball conversation.
46:10
Then simple put a bow on Husker men's basketball as well as
46:13
spring football. Trent will make some plays.
46:15
Miller and Condon an hour to go on the Iowa Sports Radio
46:18
Network.
