  Alright, good afternoon. Welcome Miller and Condon on a

  Tuesday, the Iowa Sports Radio Network Trenton Ken for the next
• 0:14
  couple of hours to talk sports with you.
• 0:16
  Appreciate you starting your afternoon with us and trust
• 0:18
  everybody had a wonderful a long weekend.
• 0:21
  Certainly the weather cooperated and people were able to get
• 0:23
  outside and get some stuff done. A good program coming up today.
• 0:27
  Hopefully we won't blow it. We will talk to Bill Seals at
• 0:30
  the bottom of our #1. Milan Manchilovich has until
• 0:34
  11:59 tomorrow night to make his intentions known, whether he's
• 0:39
  going to stay in the NBA draft or go back to school.
• 0:43
  And then the question becomes what school?
• 0:45
  So we'll talk to Bill Seals about that amongst other Cyclone
• 0:49
  topics. Coming up at 12:30.
• 0:51
  One O clock or two to be precise.
• 0:53
  Matt Snyder from CBSSports.com, our National Baseball guy who
• 0:57
  joins us every week. He will join us, talk a little
• 1:00
  MLB as the Cubs continue their swoon.
• 1:03
  Haven't won since White Sox bride laid the hammer down and
• 1:07
  drop the curse on this edition of the Cubs.
• 1:10
  So we'll talk to Matt Snyder about all things baseball at
• 1:12
  1:02 and then Scott Dockerman back from the Big 10 meetings in
• 1:16
  LA. We'll put a bow on those with
• 1:18
  Doc coming up at 1:30. Trent will make some picks at
• 1:20
  about, oh, 10 minutes or so before, too.
• 1:23
  And then we'll turn things over to off the bench.
• 1:25
  How was your weekend? Painful.
• 1:27
  Still, yeah. Yeah, it has not.
• 1:31
  Not going swimmingly. Age sucks and got the cortisone
• 1:36
  shot on Friday, so we had a double dip on Friday.
• 1:39
  Thursday evening we had softball, my daughter's softball
• 1:42
  team, a rec team. And so I got it out, coaching
• 1:45
  first base it over there and feeling it.
• 1:48
  But I already had my appointment set up.
• 1:49
  So went over to Capital Orthopedic and in the interim,
• 1:52
  while Ella was playing softball, Jack was over at the new
• 1:55
  playground equipment. OK, yeah.
• 1:57
  And fell off it. Was going to say I know where
• 1:58
  this is going. Laid it on his wrist.
• 2:00
  Well I already had my appointment set up so I made a
• 2:03
  call Friday morning. Hey can you also check my son so
• 2:06
  dad got X? Rays you have to pay 2 copays.
• 2:09
  Yes we did. Had to pay both of those books
• 2:11
  and both had to get X-rays. I'm not still calling capital,
• 2:14
  I'm calling the whole medical industry.
• 2:17
  Both X-rays, torn labrum for me, broken wrist for Jack.
• 2:21
  Jesus and the Condon boys are the girls.
• 2:23
  Girls are great so far. They got everything figured out.
• 2:26
  Yeah, they got. It comes in threes, just to let
• 2:28
  you know. Oh great, one more cup and
• 2:30
  that's what you're saying? I hope not.
• 2:32
  Yes. Well.
• 2:33
  Good to see you here. Yes, happy to be here.
• 2:35
  On Friday and hopefully Jack is on the mend so this will take
• 2:37
  him on a baseball. So he has a it's called a buckle
• 2:41
  fracture. So it didn't breakthrough the
• 2:44
  skin. It didn't do anything where the
• 2:46
  bone is displaced. It's basically it looks like a
• 2:49
  buckle just on top of the bone. And he's in a soft cast.
• 2:53
  So couple of weeks he's going to go back.
• 2:55
  Hopefully at that point things are starting to heal and he's
• 2:57
  going to be OK. But today I was over at the
• 3:00
  school. It's field day.
• 3:01
  Do you guys have field day growing up?
• 3:03
  Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 3:04
  Huge deal. Yeah, fun day.
• 3:06
  And when you tell a kindergartner?
• 3:07
  You can't participate. Yeah, that's not going to go.
• 3:09
  Well, it was tough. Yeah, it was tough.
• 3:11
  Now, he was still doing some things and was able and they had
• 3:14
  one of the teachers up in the dunk tank and he was throwing
• 3:15
  the ball and tried to knock her down and doing those kind of
• 3:18
  things. But yeah, that was tough on the
• 3:20
  little guy. I told him no wrestling for a
• 3:21
  couple of weeks, no baseball for a couple of weeks.
• 3:24
  When you're 6, it's pretty impactful.
• 3:26
  Absolutely. I get it.
• 3:28
  I get it. Well, hopefully you're both on
• 3:30
  the mend and things will work out in the end.
• 3:33
  They did not work out well for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
• 3:35
  What a choke job. What?
• 3:36
  Not a choke job. What a quit.
• 3:38
  Just just a pure unadulterated where our season's over and it
• 3:42
  showed last night. They never even I was going to
• 3:45
  say they didn't try. I'm not sure that how much they
• 3:47
  tried. He don't go into a elimination
• 3:50
  game. Your season's on the line and
• 3:52
  that's the effort or lack of. So my question to you is,
• 3:55
  regardless who comes out of the West, I'm not so sure it's the
• 3:58
  layup we thought it was going to be.
• 4:00
  Knicks are getting all of this rest.
• 4:02
  Spurs would have to play a ton of basketball.
• 4:04
  OK, CS got some injuries in their own right.
• 4:07
  SGA one of these one of these series.
• 4:10
  The referees aren't going to, you know what, we're going to
• 4:12
  call this evenly, so we're not going to just defer to him.
• 4:17
  But did you see the foul of the foul of the.
• 4:18
  I mean, I'm not sure which guy was never even touched him on
• 4:21
  the Spurs and he goes down and he gets a.
• 4:23
  Three, it was Fox that was I. Think it wasn't Fox?
• 4:25
  Yeah. It was just just ridiculous.
• 4:27
  It was. They didn't.
• 4:28
  Feet didn't collide. And if they did, they brushed.
• 4:31
  But. But I'm not so sure that the
• 4:33
  Knicks, it's a foregone conclusion that the West is
• 4:35
  going to win. Am I nuts?
• 4:36
  I don't think so at all. We have seen a couple of teams
• 4:40
  that have had this kind of winning streak in the NBA
• 4:42
  playoffs, 99 Spurs, and I think it was the O 7 Warriors that had
• 4:47
  a winning streak like this, but they weren't winning like this.
• 4:50
  And I get it, this is depleted. It's not very good.
• 4:53
  OK, that's all well and good, but the pure domination we're
• 4:56
  seeing from this next it is they're deep.
• 5:01
  They can beat you a bunch of different ways.
• 5:03
  Cats playing his best basketball maybe of his career.
• 5:06
  And it's never been a talent thing with Karl Anthony.
• 5:08
  Talent never has been about talent.
• 5:10
  It's been about between the years and.
• 5:13
  By the way, have you been playing those rebound props of
• 5:16
  his on a daily basis? Because I think he's gone over
• 5:18
  most of them hasn't. He, yeah, he's been a man
• 5:20
  possessed out there, this whole team that looked to be good and
• 5:24
  maybe they can win the East, but that was it now.
• 5:28
  I give him a chance, Trent, I absolutely give him a chance.
• 5:30
  And you couple it with what you said, whoever comes out of OK C
• 5:36
  San Antonio, this is a gauntlet. I mean, these teams are
• 5:41
  clutching and grabbing and fighting and the injury concerns
• 5:44
  now with the Thunder, with Williams assert again, just on
• 5:47
  and on and on. Yes, the Knicks are absolutely
• 5:50
  live here. And if you would have told me
• 5:51
  that even two weeks ago, yeah, No.
• 5:53
  Shot I think we did talk about it two weeks ago and didn't
• 5:55
  think there was a chance that this thing was going to be good,
• 5:58
  but I do I'm I'm with you. The injuries of OK C Spurs are a
• 6:02
  tough team. I would be shocked if we don't
• 6:04
  get if we're not literally a best of three that goes three.
• 6:07
  I will be stunned if anybody wins the next two games.
• 6:10
  Probably OK C tonight, but I'm not convinced the number it says
• 6:13
  the number says it's going to be a tight game.
• 6:15
  What's it like 4 1/2 five? It's a small number back in
• 6:19
  Oklahoma City, so that's where I'll be tonight.
• 6:22
  And I wouldn't have said this very often when the NHL and the
• 6:24
  NBA are going head to head, but this Colorado Avalanche team,
• 6:28
  they kind of remind me of Cleveland Cavaliers.
• 6:29
  My God, look, I thought the Colorado, it was not a phony,
• 6:34
  not a fraud, but I didn't think that they were Cup worthy.
• 6:37
  I thought the Wild would be the team that dominated it and they
• 6:40
  didn't. Obviously the ABS had their way
• 6:43
  with them, but this Vegas Golden Knights team, they are, they're
• 6:46
  just a hockey team. They're going to be tough to
• 6:49
  beat. Trent, I don't care who comes
• 6:50
  out of the East. Carolina felt like throughout,
• 6:55
  Obviously this was the first two series so that helps, but
• 6:57
  definitely felt like the class and Colorado the same.
• 7:00
  How do you get up 3 nothing and just blow it like that?
• 7:02
  Exactly. Lose 5. 3 So I took a peek at
• 7:04
  the live line when it was 3 Nothing.
• 7:06
  Oh, did you? You get the Golden Knights.
• 7:08
  I think it was a little bit better than 9 to 1.
• 7:10
  Really. After it was 3 to 1, I looked
• 7:13
  again and. What?
• 7:13
  What? It dropped to 2.
• 7:15
  Plus 245. Jeez, they're still up two.
• 7:17
  Yeah. And to lose in that fashion, we
• 7:21
  talk about devastating. Now hockey is the one sport more
• 7:24
  than any of the other major sports that play series that we
• 7:27
  do see comebacks. It's happened 4 times.
• 7:28
  Do you remember? Do you remember any of the three
• 7:31
  nothing deficits that have been raised?
• 7:33
  Colorado was on the losing end of 1.
• 7:36
  I have them here let me scroll through because I have them by
• 7:39
  my knees. I.
• 7:40
  Think. There's been 2 that are semi
• 7:42
  recent that has happened. All right, here it is.
• 7:43
  Four teams now. You don't remember the 1942
• 7:46
  maybe? No, no, I don't remember that
• 7:48
  one. The 75 Islanders.
• 7:50
  So who are they down to? Not sure, just have the list. 75
• 7:55
  Well, they beat Edmonton with before Gretzky became Gretzky,
• 7:58
  but that was late 70s into the I don't, I don't know who that
• 8:02
  would have been against. OK, so 2.
• 8:03
  Within the last 16 years, OK, the 2010 Flyers and the 2014
• 8:09
  Kings, those are the two times recently that it it has
• 8:13
  happened. So it can happen, I guess in
• 8:15
  hockey more than other sports. I don't see it happening.
• 8:18
  Nathan Mckinnon's hurt, yes. Makar is not 100, not close to
• 8:22
  100%, and those are the two best players by a mile.
• 8:25
  But we'll see. We'll see if they can find a way
• 8:27
  to win one. If not, we'll get game six in a
• 8:30
  standalone spot for the NBA between OKC and San Antonio on
• 8:35
  Thursday night. And I hope the tonight's game is
• 8:38
  a is a good game on the hardwood.
• 8:39
  I really do. I want to see this basketball
• 8:41
  game tonight. I think San Antonio is such a
• 8:43
  fun team to watch OKC the both. Neither one of these teams are
• 8:47
  going away anytime soon. OK, CS all got got all of these
• 8:50
  first round picks. They're rumored to be packaging
• 8:53
  put them together, try and get Boozer, which makes some sense.
• 8:57
  There's also some chatter out there about Chet Holgren.
• 9:02
  He's soft. He has scored not much in this
• 9:06
  series, he doesn't feel like he's a very good match up
• 9:09
  against Victor and. You would think that being and
• 9:11
  they need him to be Trent. If it makes sense.
• 9:15
  You see seven, one, 107 foot. 71 yeah, it makes sense, Giannis,
• 9:23
  go that direction. You bring some physicality to
• 9:26
  that defence against Victor. I've heard crazier theories and
• 9:32
  how quickly things can change because all of a sudden it goes
• 9:34
  from last year and throughout most of the season.
• 9:37
  Thunder are going to be dominating for the next 6-8, ten
• 9:40
  years and now you see this behemoth that is building in San
• 9:44
  Antonio and suddenly you go. Young group, too.
• 9:48
  Everybody has to kind of adapt to you now.
• 9:51
  You have to adapt to them. Wow.
• 9:53
  And even if the Thunder get by this playoff series, win another
• 9:55
  championship, that's still got to be in the back of their
• 9:57
  minds, right? No.
• 9:58
  Absolutely trying, I like that idea.
• 10:00
  With all the flexibility that they have, with all the
• 10:02
  advantages that they have, the young guys that they got, Lou
• 10:05
  Dort, he's not going to be there much longer.
• 10:07
  You know, there, there's going to be pieces that move.
• 10:09
  But it's going to be now going forward, not about, well, who's
• 10:12
  going to be able to catch us. I think it's going to be how are
• 10:15
  we going to be able to beat San Antonio for the next half
• 10:17
  decade? How?
• 10:18
  Quickly, how would you like to be a fan of a team in the West
• 10:20
  with no looking at those two and looking at their that they're
• 10:24
  nowhere near the expiration date?
• 10:26
  Well, and the Timberwolves are a great.
• 10:27
  Example of that was the team I was thinking of, yes.
• 10:30
  You have a team back to basketball Western Conference
• 10:32
  finals slap went six with two guys banged up in this one.
• 10:36
  Ant was not himself and yet you look up and you say those teams
• 10:40
  are only getting better right? What are we going to do?
• 10:42
  How do you retool that roster? Julius Randall another no show
• 10:46
  in the playoffs. Ant how much more can he ask out
• 10:49
  of him? It feels like is there another
• 10:51
  level to him? Hard to envision I.
• 10:54
  Think we've seen it, right? Much more.
• 10:56
  That was really good, right? It's great, but what else can
• 10:59
  you do when you look at that environment and what Wendy is
• 11:03
  this dude that half quarter did, did you think it was going in?
• 11:07
  No, I did. You did.
• 11:09
  As he is hoisting and I see SGA gonna fall to the side.
• 11:13
  Not even gonna contest it. Yeah.
• 11:14
  It's a half court shot from 7 foot four guy.
• 11:16
  And it just, it was that feeling he's gonna hit this too.
• 11:20
  And he does. He is so incredible.
• 11:23
  He is so fun to watch. He is also so thoughtful and
• 11:28
  getting. Honestly, this is the first time
• 11:30
  I've really listened to Wimpy during this playoff run.
• 11:33
  Is there are times that he'll ask the reporter speaking in
• 11:38
  English to maybe take it, take it a step further because he
• 11:42
  really wants to answer in his most truthful way of what he's
• 11:45
  thinking. He's not shy.
• 11:48
  He's got an incredible ability, I think, to connect with people.
• 11:51
  He has so much fun. I I just SGA I've never been a
• 11:55
  fan. Yeah, me neither.
• 11:56
  Just he's never been no he. Doesn't need to play that.
• 11:59
  Way, no. The James Harden stuff, yeah,
• 12:00
  bugged me. Talked about that for years and
• 12:02
  years. This guy, there's something
• 12:04
  different about him and I hope 7 foot 4 gangly, you always have
• 12:09
  those concerns, but if we can get this guy, watching him play
• 12:12
  for the next 1012 years. If you go back and you look at
• 12:15
  him when he was a rookie in the league to where he's at now and
• 12:18
  he's, he's not thick by any means, but he's thicker, right?
• 12:21
  I mean, he's bigger now by significant amounts from when he
• 12:25
  broke into the league. Fun game tonight.
• 12:26
  Can't wait to watch it. That's got to be a 7:00 tip,
• 12:30
  right? It is so we do get a little
• 12:32
  What's up with last night? No stagger.
• 12:34
  Both the hockey and NBA start at the same time.
• 12:36
  I saw this on Twitter and I couldn't and I I should have
• 12:38
  looked. I've read that once we get to
• 12:43
  the final that the NBA and the NHL play on the same night with
• 12:49
  the exception of game four. What is the NHL doing?
• 12:53
  That is. This is the NHL that has to get
• 12:56
  out of the way. It's the NBA.
• 12:57
  It's the United States. It's a basketball country.
• 13:01
  It's not a hockey country. Do what you have to do to get
• 13:05
  off of those dates. 2026 Stanley Cup Final TA TBD locations.
• 13:12
  But it does have the dates, does it not?
• 13:14
  The wiki does not have it up, let's see if I can find it.
• 13:17
  Maybe somewhere else is nhl.com. Game one of the NBA final I want
• 13:22
  to say is next Wednesday or Tuesday or Wednesday.
• 13:26
  Wednesday, June the 3rd is game one.
• 13:31
  The 2026 Stanley Cup Final is scheduled to begin on.
• 13:34
  Wednesday, June 3rd. What is going?
• 13:36
  On and when's Game 2? I would guess the next.
• 13:41
  Two days later, June 5th, then same as the NBA.
• 13:46
  What are they doing? What are they doing?
• 13:49
  I I'm baffled. I cannot wrap my mind around.
• 13:51
  This it it. And you know what?
• 13:53
  It hasn't been the case for the last, I don't know, long time.
• 13:56
  Long time, yes, but they're gonna go head to head with the
• 13:59
  NBAI don't care if this is television Partners, put your
• 14:02
  damn foot down. The last thing you need.
• 14:04
  Look, the NHL playoffs have been dominating.
• 14:06
  Let's be. Honest.
• 14:07
  Yes. Yeah.
• 14:08
  They really have. Now, I get it.
• 14:09
  You're not gonna watch 'cause you don't like hockey and you
• 14:11
  love the you don't love the NBA, but you know the game of
• 14:13
  basketball, right? But this is if there has ever
• 14:16
  been a case for you to at least dip your toe in the NHL waters.
• 14:20
  This, the playoffs, has been fascinating from the time they
• 14:22
  dropped the buck in the middle of April.
• 14:24
  And now you're going to put up against the Knicks and OK C or
• 14:28
  the Knicks and Victor Wimbenyama.
• 14:30
  What are you thinking? You're going to get killed?
• 14:34
  I'm baffled, stunned. Just a stunning just a stunning
• 14:38
  revelation. You had another one for Gary
• 14:39
  Bettman, huh? Yeah.
• 14:40
  Unbelievable. All right, so what's wrong with
• 14:42
  the Cubs? They can't hit.
• 14:44
  Now that's one of the problems. They cannot hit at all.
• 14:47
  And it's, it's their big gun. Here's this one from Ian Hap,
• 14:52
  who's just absolutely in as bad of a place right now.
• 14:56
  I want to find his. Here's his last 30 games.
• 14:59
  I'll do his last 15. His last 15 games, he's 6 for
• 15:02
  15. He's batting a Buck 1527
• 15:06
  strikeouts. His last 30 games, he's batting
• 15:08
  a buck 8745 strikeouts. Ronniers were scoring position
• 15:13
  this year. He's batting $1.43.
• 15:16
  What is wrong with Ian App? What is wrong with Dansby
• 15:19
  Swanson? What is wrong with PCA?
• 15:22
  What is right? You can keep going down the
• 15:23
  list. They cannot get anybody home,
• 15:26
  they cannot hit. They're pitching.
• 15:29
  God bless them. They're giving them all they
• 15:30
  can. But if you can't score a run,
• 15:32
  you're not going to win very many games.
• 15:33
  So I found this one from Jesse Rogers during this nine game
• 15:38
  losing streak, they are 35 for 1:48 with runners in scoring
• 15:43
  position. That's a paltry 190 batting
• 15:45
  average with runners. That is 29th in baseball.
• 15:50
  Two chances yesterday that they did not get.
• 15:53
  And yeah, just looking through last 15 days.
• 15:56
  Got this up on cubs.com. This is what we got.
• 15:59
  Lean the way over the last two weeks.
• 16:01
  Alex Bregman, Batten 3O2 OK. All right, Next up with nine
• 16:05
  hits would be Michael Bush. He's also batting 205.
• 16:09
  Yeah. Couple of those hits have been
• 16:11
  home runs, but Yep. Nico Horner batting 170 PCA
• 16:14
  batting 143 Suzuki 128 Ian Hap 128 Dansby Swanson 132 By
• 16:21
  Esteros 158 How about a little comforto?
• 16:25
  What 11? 10.
• 16:28
  It's unbelievable. That's you mean you can't make
• 16:30
  those numbers up? Is there an issue?
• 16:33
  With Council. I was going to get there.
• 16:38
  I was going to start though the guy pick at the groceries, not
• 16:41
  the guy doing the cooking. Look through what they've done,
• 16:47
  free agency and the guys that they have brought in.
• 16:52
  I like the Bregman hire signing. I wish we would have signed him
• 16:55
  last year when he went to Boston.
• 16:59
  Dansby Swanson. How long has he been there since
• 17:02
  she been there? Three or four years now.
• 17:04
  I you know what, I got to be fair to the.
• 17:06
  He's a good defender. He's a great defender and I love
• 17:08
  the I love the signing. When they got him from Atlanta,
• 17:10
  I loved it, thought that this is exactly what they needed.
• 17:13
  And again, he's a great defender, but he's just totally
• 17:16
  lost at the play. But he's not alone.
• 17:18
  No. He's not alone.
• 17:19
  So you have to do something. You can't fire the players.
• 17:21
  You know who usually pays the price?
• 17:23
  Well, a first base coach like that's going to change.
• 17:27
  But it's usually, I mean, is, is council on board time?
• 17:32
  I, I can't wait to talk to Kathy tomorrow and he's going to join
• 17:34
  us on Wednesday, which he normally does, but I've asked
• 17:37
  him to move to Thursdays. But I'm working tomorrow, so I'm
• 17:41
  off Thursday. I I is Is council's seat getting
• 17:45
  hot or should it be? I don't have a good response to
• 17:48
  that. And you?
• 17:49
  And if so, do you put your tailbot between your legs?
• 17:51
  Say, Rossi, can you come back? Because the reason that I
• 17:55
  brought up the front office and the way that the.
• 17:57
  Employer and company, yeah. Put this thing together is how
• 18:01
  many hitting coaches have they gone through the last 7-8 years?
• 18:03
  Yeah. Don't recall the best, yeah.
• 18:05
  Probably half dozen. Probably.
• 18:06
  Certainly some, yeah. We've had a multitude of
• 18:08
  managers and yet time in and time out, these signings at
• 18:12
  least offensively not been very good and that's where maybe I
• 18:16
  would point. And the starting pitching too.
• 18:18
  I mean, they've just been absolutely killed.
• 18:20
  By injuries, right? Just killed and it's finally
• 18:23
  catching. Up it is, I mean, Justin Steele
• 18:25
  and Kate Horton, these were going to be two guys at the top
• 18:28
  of your rotation and Bing bang, they go down.
• 18:30
  Obviously still still down from last year.
• 18:33
  He's keeps getting pushed back further and further.
• 18:36
  We'll see where it goes, but my God, when Ben Brown is Ben
• 18:40
  Brown, I like Ben Brown. Don't like it was an ace.
• 18:43
  You don't want him to be your number one.
• 18:45
  Right. And is he almost that now?
• 18:48
  Yeah, I think so. I mean.
• 18:50
  Imanog has been OK. They didn't expect him to be the
• 18:53
  guy by any me. Cabrera has now gone down with a
• 18:56
  with a blister on his thumb. Kathy didn't think it was a big
• 18:59
  deal a couple of weeks ago or last time we spoke.
• 19:02
  Colin Rays, you're what, 3 or 4 at this point?
• 19:05
  I love his story. And he should be on a good team.
• 19:08
  He's a number 5 or. 6. Yeah, yeah, A spot starter.
• 19:11
  Yes. He's your swing guy.
• 19:12
  If you have that, you're in really good shape.
• 19:14
  Hmm. Well, here's a really good
• 19:15
  tweet. This is a good one.
• 19:17
  Dansby Swanson is the new Jason Hayward.
• 19:19
  Yeah, every Jason, although he doesn't ground into two as many
• 19:23
  double plays to the second baseman.
• 19:25
  My God, rolling over. I have time after time after.
• 19:29
  Time here it is double play or roll it up 463 double play
• 19:34
  every. Well, go to the top of the next
• 19:36
  inning comes Trail. One thing that I noticed
• 19:38
  yesterday, and I got in about the 7th inning I think is when I
• 19:41
  checked in yesterday is they just look defeated even at the
• 19:45
  plate, like they just went up there.
• 19:47
  No swagger, no confidence. This isn't something you can
• 19:50
  measure just watching. PCA getting picked off stealing
• 19:53
  bases, yeah. It just there's so much of that
• 19:57
  and baseball's funky and it's a long season and everybody has a
• 20:00
  lull. This does feel but the.
• 20:02
  Whole team's having their lull right now.
• 20:04
  Yes, for T that's had 210 game-winning.
• 20:06
  Streaks. That's hard to believe, isn't
• 20:08
  it? And now it's hard to fathom.
• 20:10
  Staring at A10 game losing streak in the face.
• 20:12
  Who goes tonight? You know what, I should have
• 20:13
  looked at this. What is the pitching match?
• 20:16
  Oh, Jordan Wicks got the call up after putting up a 4.44 ERA with
• 20:21
  AAA Iowa. He'll get the ball opposite
• 20:24
  Ashcraft. He's been pretty good.
• 20:26
  Has he? Yeah, I know they missed skis.
• 20:28
  I think that maybe they think it's skis.
• 20:29
  It's a four-game series. Skates pitched in Toronto over
• 20:33
  the weekend. He's pitching Thursday, the
• 20:36
  getaway game. Yeah, 5:40 Because I know the
• 20:37
  Twins play the Pirates and they miss skins.
• 20:39
  Do they? I wouldn't talk about the
• 20:41
  playoff bound Minnesota Twins if the playoffs started today.
• 20:45
  Yeah, but they ran into those red hot White Sox.
• 20:48
  The White Sox and the Twins would be playoffs.
• 20:50
  That's wild, isn't it? That's an indictment of the
• 20:52
  American. It really and truly is.
• 20:54
  It truly is. Both watching that yesterday,
• 20:56
  Both those teams are not good. They're not good.
• 20:58
  Is that what you watch? Yeah, why would you subject
• 21:01
  yourself I? Know twins, man.
• 21:02
  Yeah, yeah. By the way, I met a buddy of
• 21:04
  yours yesterday. No, I did.
• 21:07
  This sounds terrible. Is going.
• 21:09
  To be a disaster. I want to find out his I wrote
• 21:12
  his name because it's obviously not his real name.
• 21:15
  Club Sporto. Sporto, Sporto.
• 21:18
  I haven't seen Sporto in I. Remember there was a time you
• 21:22
  talked about Sporto because I remembered his name.
• 21:25
  Sporto plays the horses. Sporto likes to wager.
• 21:28
  Sporto just moved up in my book, yes.
• 21:30
  He's not only fired on Prairie Meadows, but he's got his Santa
• 21:32
  Anita racing for him. Open to Santa Anita is playing a
• 21:35
  race on the ground. Yeah, he and his buddy, I think
• 21:37
  his name is, doesn't met so many people this weekend.
• 21:39
  That's awesome. It really is.
• 21:41
  I had to. I should have got out more in my
• 21:42
  30 years, but yeah, it's Club Sporto.
• 21:46
  Sporto, Hi. Yeah, well, Sporto's listening
• 21:50
  heavy up, Sporto. It's been too long and maybe we
• 21:53
  need to go out there and visit Ken sometime and fire at some
• 21:55
  horses coming up this summer. You're having a blast out.
• 21:58
  There I am. I'm having a really good time
• 22:00
  and the crowds have been unbelievable at the at the track
• 22:02
  so far this year. We're UPS.
• 22:04
  I mean the handles is just unbel.
• 22:05
  It's up over 50%. It's doing great.
• 22:08
  So anyways, we'll be back at it on Friday.
• 22:11
  We're going to talk to Bill Seals, Cyclone topics coming up
• 22:15
  here at at the bottom of our number one, look forward to
• 22:19
  catching up with Bill Seals. I don't think Manchilovich is
• 22:22
  coming back to Iowa State. I want to put that out there
• 22:25
  right now, but I don't mean you're going to ask him.
• 22:26
  I mean, there's no scholarship. And if you follow some of those
• 22:30
  burner accounts on Twitter? Yeah, are they?
• 22:32
  They're commits, are they, that he's coming back to Ames?
• 22:35
  Oh, they're finding money all over the place, so.
• 22:37
  What is he going to get on the open market?
• 22:39
  Have you seen is he a $5,000,000 is?
• 22:42
  I think a minimum. At minimum, so you think, what
• 22:44
  do you what do you have to find in the couch cushions to make
• 22:47
  Munchilovich whole as far as you can get X from Kentucky?
• 22:51
  Can you? Can you match?
• 22:53
  XI don't think Iowa State could match them.
• 22:54
  OK. But could they get close and the
• 22:57
  comfortable? Factor if they get close right.
• 23:00
  If it is five, can they get 3? If it's seven, can they get 4?
• 23:05
  Even that, Is he just ready for something different too?
• 23:08
  Yeah. But why would you be?
• 23:10
  When you're Milam on television, you know you got This is a
• 23:12
  talented team, year after year after year.
• 23:15
  It is. But it's also Kentucky.
• 23:18
  I know Jefferson moves on, but Kentucky hasn't been worth the
• 23:20
  crap. They haven't, but it's Kentucky
• 23:22
  basketball. It's a blue.
• 23:23
  No, I get it. I I absolutely, I get there
• 23:25
  where they fall in the ranking process status wise.
• 23:28
  We obviously saw Iowa State right now is a lot better
• 23:30
  progress than Kentucky, right, which is crazy to think, but
• 23:33
  it's not close. The last half decade they blow
• 23:36
  out of the water. And like you said, it's the
• 23:37
  comfort factor and like, look at Lexington is beautiful.
• 23:40
  I love Lexington, but you know the Big 12.
• 23:45
  I don't know. We'll see.
• 23:46
  I'll ask Bill Seals that coming up here.
• 23:47
  So I'm getting that question first.
• 23:48
  So steal that one. Yeah.
• 23:51
  Let's get Thunder Joe in here. I want to talk to him about his
• 23:53
  squad. Are you nervous at all, Joe,
• 23:55
  about Thunder Spurs? Yeah.
• 23:59
  Well, I've been, I told you guys earlier in the year, I think the
• 24:00
  Spurs are the only team that could beat them because, you
• 24:03
  know, they look good, you know, this season against each other.
• 24:06
  But that's not why I call it. I don't want to jinx the
• 24:07
  Thunder. I got a theory.
• 24:09
  I got a theory on the baseball free agent signings and whatnot,
• 24:12
  Michael Mcgreevy told Ken Rosens.
• 24:14
  I'm a Cardinal fan and watching this Cardinal team, I don't feel
• 24:17
  like they're out of any game they playing.
• 24:19
  Mcgreevy brought it up to Rosenthal and it dawned on me he
• 24:22
  told Ken Rosenthal during after he got done pitching, he's like,
• 24:25
  we've all played together since AA.
• 24:28
  Now if you now, if you look at it, the Reds, the Cardinals, the
• 24:31
  Pirates, the Brewers, they don't have big free agent signage for
• 24:35
  crying out loud. The Brewers got rid of Corbin
• 24:37
  Burns. They're all homegrown.
• 24:38
  They're all homegrown teams. You look at the Nationals, the
• 24:41
  Dodgers are not blowing teams out of the water.
• 24:44
  You look at the Rays, you look at the A's, look, White Sox, for
• 24:48
  crying out loud. Are we, are we seeing a shift to
• 24:51
  where? Don't have to spend the money.
• 24:54
  Hey, so let me add this interesting point.
• 24:56
  Was it the, was it from a couple of weeks ago, Rosenthal and
• 24:59
  Mcgravy on a Saturday night? Because that's I saw those two
• 25:02
  speak and I was blown away by Mcgravy in a positive way.
• 25:05
  Was that the one you're referring to?
• 25:07
  Yes, yes, it is because Roosevelt asked him if he was
• 25:10
  surprised about the success teams had so far.
• 25:13
  And Mcgreeve is like, not really, because we've all played
• 25:15
  since AA and we won championships with AA level and
• 25:19
  the AAA level. He's like, well, outside of four
• 25:21
  or five guys, he's 100% correct. Yeah, I saw that interview when
• 25:25
  I was really impressed by Mcgreevy.
• 25:26
  In fact, I think I came here at some point next week, the
• 25:29
  following week and said as much. It was a Saturday Fox game and
• 25:32
  and Rosenthal was there. Interesting.
• 25:34
  So these Cardinals are fun to watch.
• 25:36
  I mean, I I don't know how they're doing it.
• 25:38
  I don't know if they're going to be able to, you know, what the
• 25:40
  longevity is for this team this year, but it's and maybe it's
• 25:45
  going to be the Brewers and the Cardinals in the race.
• 25:47
  Who would it right But? But yeah, but yeah, it could be
• 25:50
  and you never know, like, like I said, go up and down the
• 25:52
  standings and every team that's having massive success don't
• 25:55
  have that free big free agent findings.
• 25:57
  Look how look how bad the Phillies are.
• 26:00
  Yeah, the Mets. Mets are just atrocious.
• 26:02
  My God, they're bad. Can't get out of their own way.
• 26:05
  Thanks Joe appreciate the call. Enjoy.
• 26:07
  Enjoy the game tonight. Good luck to your squad.
• 26:09
  A big OKC fan? Hang on.
• 26:13
  Well, we have this just in from Chad Leistekow of the Des Moines
• 26:17
  Register. The Iowa women's basketball team
• 26:19
  has signed a home and home with UConn.
• 26:23
  How about that? Yeah.
• 26:25
  Next two seasons they will go to stores.
• 26:27
  Coming up this. Year starting in two thousand
• 26:30
  2627 to stores and then a Carver in 2720.
• 26:34
  How? About that, well done that is.
• 26:37
  That's huge. Jan Jensen Yes, tip of the ball
• 26:40
  cap game last year they got throttled.
• 26:42
  Neutral floor. What was or was it 2 years ago
• 26:45
  they were on TV on Thanksgiving against South Carolina maybe?
• 26:49
  Oh, that was the Iowa State women, was it?
• 26:51
  Yes. That was that Thanksgiving game.
• 26:53
  OK, Well they got down like they got 50 to 15 or something like.
• 26:56
  That yeah, that's right. It was Iowa State.
• 26:58
  You're right. Last year Iowa played, UConn
• 27:01
  couldn't get the ball up the floor.
• 27:02
  I think they had like 27 turnovers in the game.
• 27:04
  But still wasn't as bad as the UCLA game.
• 27:07
  No, that was as bad as. But good for them.
• 27:10
  Yes, good for them. Good for women's basketball?
• 27:12
  Home and home. That's fun.
• 27:15
  I, I, I like it. By the way, Speaking of women's
• 27:17
  basketball, tomorrow night, I'm, I was going to say mildly
• 27:23
  intriguing. What's up a level than that for
• 27:25
  the Valkyries and the Fever? Especially when you go back to
• 27:29
  what you know, is it Tiffany Hayes and Caitlin Clark when
• 27:35
  she's when when Caitlin's pissed off or when she's talking trash,
• 27:39
  She's just on another level. She's so much fun to watch.
• 27:42
  But this is the rematch and they haven't.
• 27:44
  Neither team has played a game since this game on Friday night,
• 27:47
  and they'll play tomorrow on prime at 9:00.
• 27:49
  I think we, I think we reach out to Scott Agnes.
• 27:51
  That's a good one. Yeah, 'cause I'm interested in
• 27:55
  that game tomorrow night because of all the histrionics.
• 27:57
  And kind of the week off a chance to after the back injury
• 28:00
  from Caitlin the game before and.
• 28:02
  That Hayes gals tweeting on on X that maybe some of the players
• 28:08
  in the league should try and injure Caitlin.
• 28:10
  Great. What are you thinking?
• 28:11
  What are you doing? They'll never get out of their
• 28:13
  own way, will they? But the rematch is tomorrow
• 28:16
  night. I can't wait to watch that at
• 28:18
  9:00. Now, how much will I see?
• 28:19
  I'm not going to. I'm not.
• 28:22
  You're not going to make it to the end.
• 28:23
  Well, that that and Colorado and Montreal will be going on if
• 28:27
  that game goes because these two teams are so evenly matched.
• 28:30
  God, I love this. And, and now I say it all the
• 28:33
  time, There's nothing like it. Home game in Montreal, at the
• 28:37
  Bell Center in Montreal. It's just it's just a different
• 28:39
  level. It's just a different level.
• 28:42
  Miller and Condon, 1230 Bill Seals Next Iowa Sports Radio
• 28:45
  Network. Hi, Mallory Condon, welcome back
• 29:05
  12:35 on a Tuesday. We'll be here until 2:00.
• 29:09
  Matt Snyder kicks off our number 2 baseball conversation.
• 29:12
  MLB, he writes, covers the MLB for CBSSports.com.
• 29:17
  Bill Seals covers Iowa State, cyclonereport.com, part of the
• 29:21
  rival slash on Three Network. And Bill joins us, Bill,
• 29:24
  Trenton, Ken. So a lot of Twitter regarding
• 29:27
  Milan Manchilovic, obviously he has until tomorrow at 11:59 to
• 29:32
  make his intentions know whether he's going to stay in the draft
• 29:35
  or whether he's going to go back to school for his final year of
• 29:38
  eligibility. Bill, I know that you thought
• 29:40
  that. It's good to talk to you, by the
• 29:42
  way, and appreciate it as always.
• 29:43
  You coming on. You thought that the chances
• 29:46
  were slim to none that Munchilovich would not be a
• 29:50
  cyclone. Maybe I'm putting words into
• 29:52
  your mouth, but you didn't think there would be much chance.
• 29:55
  This was last week or a couple of weeks ago when I asked the
• 29:57
  question. Now that seemingly he may be
• 30:00
  coming back to school, do you still feel that there's no shot
• 30:04
  Iowa State gets some more of you, maybe moved up a little
• 30:07
  bit, but still don't think it's going to happen?
• 30:09
  Where are you, Bill? Well, I don't, I don't think
• 30:12
  he's going to end up back at Iowa State and I don't think
• 30:15
  that's really in the cards right now.
• 30:17
  And it's just a matter of if he, as you mentioned, tomorrow night
• 30:21
  pulls out of the draft or remains in there.
• 30:25
  You know, there's been a lot of buzz out there.
• 30:27
  I think with Kentucky, I'm not really seeing too many
• 30:30
  reputable, reputable, excuse me, reports right now on him being
• 30:36
  for sure headed to Kentucky. I think that a lot of rumors out
• 30:39
  there by people on on X about that.
• 30:43
  So, you know, Louisville, St. John's, I think those were the
• 30:47
  other two schools rumored with him for a while now.
• 30:51
  And yeah, there was another room out rumor out there that he had
• 30:55
  cancelled all of his remaining workouts too.
• 30:59
  I I think there's another way you can look at that though,
• 31:02
  too. Maybe he got the guarantee, that
• 31:05
  first round guarantee or or the guarantee that he wanted to
• 31:09
  remain in the draft from a certain team and and has decided
• 31:13
  to cancel other workouts. You know, there's a school of
• 31:17
  thought. I think that could be the case.
• 31:18
  Or maybe he's reportedly cancelled him because he's going
• 31:22
  to pull out of the draft tomorrow and didn't want to
• 31:24
  waste any more any more teams as time with that.
• 31:28
  So you know what we'll have to see.
• 31:30
  But I can tell you pretty sure he's not going to end up back at
• 31:33
  Iowa State. Any idea, Bill, if it comes to
• 31:36
  that decision or if it would have come to that decision, why
• 31:40
  is it strictly the money aspect or anything different?
• 31:43
  Why Iowa State just wasn't a part of it where it felt like if
• 31:47
  he was coming back to college, it wasn't going to be a names,
• 31:49
  it was going to be somewhere else.
• 31:50
  Any idea the reasoning behind that?
• 31:53
  Well, I think money is probably a, a big thing if he and, and
• 31:57
  especially with this five year rule, if there's some
• 32:00
  grandfathering in, if Milan is not going to improve his draft
• 32:05
  stock, you know, if his, you know, his draft stock is what it
• 32:09
  is. You know, whether it's now or I
• 32:13
  think if he comes back to college for another year, even
• 32:17
  goes for two years, if that grandfathering comes in, he
• 32:20
  could get a, if he could get a, you know, like a two year with
• 32:23
  5,000,000 per like a $10 million guarantee from Kentucky.
• 32:28
  Well, that I think that's, you know, that's going to be hard to
• 32:31
  pass down if he comes back, back to college.
• 32:33
  And I, I don't think Iowa State was probably in that position to
• 32:37
  do like that level of, of NIL guarantee.
• 32:43
  And then I think you look at Milan, if, if he's going to take
• 32:47
  I, I don't, I, I hate to throw figures out here, guys.
• 32:50
  I don't know necessarily what Iowa State would have been in
• 32:52
  position to to to give him, but if it's significantly less than
• 32:58
  he, he might as well just roll the dice, I think and and go
• 33:01
  through the draft process. If he's a second rounder, if he
• 33:04
  can get on a two way and just go ahead and become a pro.
• 33:07
  And and I think, you know, he probably doesn't in that
• 33:10
  scenario, doesn't make a whole lot less than he would have if
• 33:14
  he would have come back to Iowa State.
• 33:16
  But if you know, if you're looking at Kentucky or a
• 33:18
  Louisville or a St. John's where he can get a
• 33:21
  5,000,000 per and he gets two more seasons of eligibility,
• 33:25
  well, you know, that's life changing money right there.
• 33:27
  And he could just become a pro in a couple years and and see
• 33:30
  what happens at that .20 That all made sense.
• 33:33
  Yeah, no, it does. 21 years old. I'll be 22 in September.
• 33:37
  Obviously, age does not work against you or work in your
• 33:41
  favor rather, when you're part of the NBA draft, you're going
• 33:44
  through the process. So.
• 33:46
  So he would be one that would get grandfathered in and could
• 33:49
  potentially get that an additional year.
• 33:52
  And if so, obviously if you can make, you know, say 10 million
• 33:56
  or 12 million in two years playing a couple extra years of
• 33:59
  college basketball, assuming you get that extra year, that works
• 34:03
  out financially as opposed to slipping through the G League
• 34:05
  and hoping for the best. Yeah.
• 34:08
  And I think that's the that's the whole deal here is if he's
• 34:11
  going to come back to college, you know, he wants to kind of
• 34:14
  Max that out as much as he can. And and that's that's big money
• 34:19
  right there. And I don't think Iowa State
• 34:21
  would have been in position to do that.
• 34:23
  So but yeah, I mean, I don't know, there's not really been
• 34:26
  any, any indications on if there will be a grandfathering in.
• 34:29
  I think, you know, some folks would would not want to
• 34:33
  grandfather in because then you kind of seems like you go
• 34:36
  through that whole COVID year scenario and who's got what and
• 34:41
  you're always, you know, wondering and and then but if
• 34:44
  they don't grandfather at these athletes in, then there's going
• 34:47
  to be a lawsuit for sure. There should be.
• 34:50
  Lipsy should have to stand up in court.
• 34:52
  Yes, Lipsy and his and his year, whoever played in that, was he
• 34:57
  22 or 23? Whatever his year?
• 34:59
  They're the ones getting screwed cause the COVID guys all get an
• 35:01
  extra year now these guys are going to get 5.
• 35:04
  There's one year of players that are going to not factor into
• 35:09
  that benefit. So I, I just wonder if that
• 35:11
  lawsuit's coming because it would certainly make some sense
• 35:14
  that it, that it does. But I just saw Jeff Goodman's
• 35:17
  just reporting that Milan Manchilovich is going to get 7
• 35:21
  potentially 7 million a year. And that came out in 19 minutes
• 35:25
  from Jeff Goodman of field of 68.
• 35:27
  It's a. Pretty good chunk of change.
• 35:29
  Pretty good chunk of change. Yeah.
• 35:31
  Well, and and and it and it makes sense, I think in in that
• 35:35
  it's probably going to be Kentucky.
• 35:37
  I think if that is indeed the case, because what was it was
• 35:42
  the figure was the figure like 14, I think portal guy is a
• 35:46
  Kentucky hosted and they didn't get any one of them.
• 35:49
  So I, I'm not sure what they're paying any of their incoming
• 35:53
  freshmen, but they've got money out there.
• 35:55
  They got money because they missed on so many guys in the
• 35:58
  portal and Mark Pope needs to make a splash here.
• 36:01
  So I, I think it you know, 7 million very, very good
• 36:05
  possibility that that ends up being the case.
• 36:08
  Think how it's changed that, Trent, we just talked earlier
• 36:10
  about Kentucky being a blue blood Kentucky, Kentucky,
• 36:13
  Kentucky and 14 kids said no to Kentucky.
• 36:18
  And also, those prices got driven up by Kentucky that then
• 36:22
  they were able to get at other institutions.
• 36:24
  Now, 14 of the top 20 guys in the portal that took visits to
• 36:29
  Kentucky, they didn't land one of them.
• 36:31
  Tough, tough sledding for Mark Pope.
• 36:33
  Hey, Bill, I want to ask you about a guy that I know you've
• 36:36
  written about a ton, Josiah Harrington, who's been committed
• 36:39
  for a while to Iowa State. He's an Iowa kid over at North
• 36:42
  Scott over in the Quad Cities, didn't get an opportunity.
• 36:45
  They got beat in the sub state final by Prairie, so didn't make
• 36:48
  the state tournament. What can you tell us about him
• 36:50
  as a player? And we're looking deep into the
• 36:52
  future here, but very well regarded on the national scene.
• 36:56
  Yeah, yeah, it's it was nice. I did make it down there on
• 37:00
  Friday evening to to to watch him play for the Brad Beal and
• 37:06
  lead to Nike UIBL team. They were down a session 3 was
• 37:10
  in Kansas City this past weekend.
• 37:13
  So I made it down there to watch him.
• 37:16
  You know, his role for that team I think is more so probably as a
• 37:21
  as a as a three man type just with it.
• 37:25
  They've got 2 ball dominant guards.
• 37:27
  So right now Jimmy McKinney is one of those is one of those
• 37:31
  guys that he was in Iowa State that recruit for a little while.
• 37:35
  They and I think they've gone in different directions.
• 37:38
  So but yeah, I mean, I was, I I was happy with what I saw.
• 37:41
  I think his ball handling is coming around.
• 37:45
  You know, if he's ATJ recruit, you're always going to see the
• 37:48
  defense and the rebounding. I think that that played out
• 37:52
  certainly in the game that I watched on Friday night.
• 37:54
  I wasn't afraid to crash the boards, made an impact on
• 37:58
  defense. He's got nice length, nice
• 38:00
  wingspan, you know, turned had a had a steal on defense 1
• 38:05
  possession. I saw, you know, turn it around,
• 38:08
  ran the length of the floor and and finished for two points.
• 38:11
  So I was pretty happy with this game.
• 38:13
  You know, he didn't play last season.
• 38:15
  I think he was poised to be with Mocan I I believe last year, but
• 38:20
  that didn't happen. He had the knee injury missed
• 38:23
  all the spring and summer, so he's kind of making up for lost
• 38:27
  time right now. As you know, Trent, you know
• 38:29
  what you're seeing North Scott on a on a nightly basis as you
• 38:34
  go through that schedule compared to what you're getting
• 38:36
  in the EYBL, it's quite a step up in competition.
• 38:40
  But I I think he's he's playing very well.
• 38:43
  I mean he's that just with those two ball dominant guards,
• 38:46
  though, a lot of possessions he doesn't even touch the ball.
• 38:49
  So I, I think he's making the most, I guess you could say
• 38:53
  making the most with the opportunities that he does have.
• 38:57
  What is it like for you? I know our buddy Tom Caikert
• 39:00
  over at Hawkeye Report, he was also in Kansas City.
• 39:03
  What's it like for you media guys when you're covering an AAU
• 39:05
  event? I think all of us kind of have
• 39:07
  an idea because we see it on television covering a basketball
• 39:10
  game, press roll, wherever it is.
• 39:12
  What's it like covering an event like that?
• 39:15
  Well, I, I, I think if the one in Kansas City, I really like
• 39:19
  being down there. I, I know a lot of the national
• 39:22
  recruiting guys, the analysts, they, they love going down to
• 39:26
  Memphis the weekend before just because it's a live period.
• 39:29
  Coaches are out. I mean, you, you've got
• 39:31
  basically every, you know, top program in the country times
• 39:36
  probably 2, maybe sometimes three coaches on each of those
• 39:40
  Staffs is down there. I mean, it's just the, the
• 39:43
  environment down there is just, I mean, it's crazy.
• 39:46
  It, it's just insane. And then you go to Kansas City,
• 39:49
  coaches aren't allowed out that Memorial Day weekend, that
• 39:52
  holiday weekend. So it's a lot different.
• 39:54
  I think it's a lot easier, you know, to get around and, and,
• 39:58
  and to watch a number of these guys play, you know, for Iowa
• 40:01
  State, TJ cast such a a small web for players.
• 40:06
  So I, I was really only down there to watch three players.
• 40:09
  So they just because it's such a narrow focus in that 27 class.
• 40:13
  But you know, the other, the other thing, it is kind of fun
• 40:17
  that Trent, you know, I, I took my son down there with me.
• 40:21
  He was shooting some pictures and some video.
• 40:23
  Stuff and and the all the NBA players that are down there, the
• 40:28
  current, the former guys, you know, a lot of the current guys
• 40:32
  are involved with those teams. You know, Matt Barnes, for
• 40:35
  example, he was coaching the team.
• 40:38
  I believe it. I believe Chris Paul's another
• 40:41
  one who coaches A-Team down there.
• 40:43
  I walked right by Trey Young going the other way.
• 40:46
  I think he's involved with one of the teams.
• 40:48
  Hakeem Olajuwon was down there to watch, watch his sons.
• 40:53
  I believe he's got 2 that are in the 2028 class.
• 40:56
  So standing right behind Greg Oden.
• 40:59
  I mean, it was just it. Was.
• 41:01
  Incredible. Paulo.
• 41:02
  Paulo Bay. Yeah.
• 41:03
  Yeah, exactly. Paulo Bonchero was down there.
• 41:06
  So I mean, it, it was just a who's 2 of Ballers and, you
• 41:09
  know, current and, and former NBA players.
• 41:13
  So I mean that that part of it's really cool.
• 41:15
  There's not really coaches down there.
• 41:17
  So, so it was a lot easier I think to get an evaluation and
• 41:21
  kind of up close and and personal with some of those Iowa
• 41:24
  State recruits. Bill, we literally have one
• 41:26
  minute left. The Big 12 meetings are
• 41:28
  happening as we speak. Speak in Frisco, what?
• 41:31
  What's on the agenda? Do you expect anything to come
• 41:34
  of this? I know where they stand playoff
• 41:35
  wise. They want to see it expand.
• 41:38
  What's on the agenda in Frisco for the Big 12 meetings?
• 41:40
  Do you have any idea, Bill, to what we should be watching for?
• 41:44
  Yeah, I'm, I'm sure that that your mark will, will have some
• 41:49
  opinions that, you know, get some eyeballs from across the
• 41:53
  country. It actually kicks off tomorrow,
• 41:57
  the 27th through the 29th. It's down in Frisco.
• 42:01
  We'll have some, some in well in for those that are in person.
• 42:06
  And then over Zoom, they'll have some some sessions with woman's
• 42:11
  basketball, men's basketball, football.
• 42:16
  And then it looks like on Friday, well, this will be the
• 42:19
  day after it wraps up. There's an availability around
• 42:22
  noon that day with your Mark and K State President Richard
• 42:27
  Linton. So there will be a Zoom from
• 42:29
  that. So I'm sure plenty of news to
• 42:31
  come out of that here over the next next three days as the the
• 42:35
  Big 12 meetings go on down in Texas.
• 42:37
  Cyclonereport.com Part of rival slash on Three
• 42:41
  cyclonereport.com. Bill Seals.
• 42:43
  Bill, thank you, man. I look forward to catching up
• 42:45
  with you while we do next Monday and hearing what you heard from
• 42:49
  the Commission etcetera. I'll be able to be a couple of
• 42:51
  days old, but thanks for what you do for us, Bill.
• 42:53
  Appreciate it. Thanks guys.
• 42:55
  Have a good one. Yep.
• 42:56
  You're the same Bill Seals, cyclonereport.com Take our final
• 42:59
  time out of our number one Matt Snyder.
• 43:01
  MLB Talk kicks off our number 2 Miller and Condon on the Iowa
• 43:05
  Sports Radio Network. I'm Miller Cons in final couple
• 43:25
  of minutes, our first hour of the program.
• 43:27
  Scott Doctorman from the athletics.
• 43:29
  Still to come talk to Doc about the Big 10 meetings that just
• 43:32
  wrapped up in palatial A. Where is the Big 12 haides in
• 43:37
  kosher staying? We saw where the Big 10 had set
• 43:39
  up shop. Guessing it won't be quite as
• 43:42
  nice. Yeah, that was.
• 43:42
  Red Roof Inn, I mean, step up from that.
• 43:46
  Step up, I would think Holiday Inn.
• 43:49
  Keep going, keep going, yeah. Oh my God, I just saw trying to
• 43:54
  figure out what's going on down here.
• 43:57
  So the SEC and the Big 10 distributed about $70 million to
• 44:02
  each school that got a full share.
• 44:06
  The ACC was next. They got 47,000,000 per per
• 44:12
  school. The Big 12 is set to distribute
• 44:15
  39 and a half million. Dollars so in our state.
• 44:20
  Almost twice as much. Doubling up Iowa State, how long
• 44:23
  does that continue? How long can that continue?
• 44:27
  That's just it because as this guy puts in his piece,
• 44:30
  Armageddon comes 2030, the ACC, it's not as difficult to get out
• 44:34
  of their grant of rights and the Big 10 contract is over.
• 44:37
  Yes, that's when we're going to see once again it hit the fan.
• 44:43
  Hopefully, for your sake and your partners, it's May, June,
• 44:46
  July. Let's do it during that time.
• 44:49
  Start middle of April if you would.
• 44:50
  Yep. But it seems like.
• 44:55
  Get a lot. Of it's not sustainable, no,
• 44:58
  because the Big 10 and the and the SEC, there's 70 million now
• 45:02
  that's not going down, No. And the ACC's got a significant
• 45:05
  head start on you. Hour 2 coming up next, Matt
• 45:10
  Snyder on MLB CBSSports.com, Scott Dockerman from The
• 45:15
  Athletic, Trent's plays of the day, circus sports sponsor
• 45:19
  those. And then coming up at 2:00 off
• 45:22
  the bench with Sean and Lucas Miller and Condon, an hour to go
• 45:24
  on our program. Glad you're with us on the Iowa
• 45:26
  Sports Radio Network.
