  with the afternoon show. Who, by the way, the boys are
• 1:33
  going to be up in Ames today at the Rally House.
• 1:36
  Lucas and John broadcasting live their show from 2 until 5.
• 1:40
  The rally House in Ames, 1 football game down in the NFL
• 1:45
  this week. It was a clubbing.
• 1:47
  The Chargers opened up a can. Just took it to Carson Wentz.
• 1:50
  Who? I mean, I hope for Vikings fans
• 1:52
  that that's last time you see him.
• 1:55
  That's just he's just not good and he's I get the offensive
• 1:59
  line is not good either. The the Vikings have some
• 2:01
  problems. Trent.
• 2:02
  This is, I think, pretty safe to say at this point not going to
• 2:05
  be their. Year, yeah, this is the worst
• 2:06
  team and the zigzag continues with KOC really Goodyear
• 2:10
  followed by a disappointing season and it looks like we are
• 2:13
  trending that direction. You know, historically doesn't
• 2:16
  feel like we get that for a lot for the Viking.
• 2:18
  Growing up in Vikings territory like I did surrounded by 90%
• 2:22
  Vikings fans, most of my family Vikings fans, it felt like
• 2:25
  anytime that there was higher anticipation or coming off a big
• 2:29
  year, there be that let down and they're better and that were
• 2:32
  underdog role in that yes, it feels like they're just for
• 2:37
  whatever reason, one of those organizations or.
• 2:39
  They're a Minnesota snake team. Well, they also got that
• 2:41
  component to which is, which is a different angle to it, but you
• 2:44
  know, the 98 year, which is still, I mean, beloved even what
• 2:48
  happened to the NFC Championship game and Gary Anderson and
• 2:51
  everything that goes along with it.
• 2:53
  That team was not anticipated to be great.
• 2:55
  Just Randy Musk thrust onto the scene.
• 2:57
  Randy Cunningham, What is this? 98 trend I thought that they
• 3:00
  were going to beat the Denver Broncos.
• 3:01
  They would have convinced the Broncos were going to represent
• 3:03
  the AFC. They would have beat the devil.
• 3:05
  They. Might have.
• 3:05
  It would have been hell of a game.
• 3:06
  And that was said. It was Atlanta.
• 3:07
  And Tim Dwight took one to the house in that football game.
• 3:10
  And John Elway walked off the field for the final time as the
• 3:13
  MVP of the Super Bowls. He hit rods.
• 3:15
  Was that the Rod Smith? No, that was the.
• 3:17
  Yes, It was the Rod Smith. Long catch, Long touchdown
• 3:19
  catch. The man of the year.
• 3:21
  Oh, really? No, not him.
• 3:23
  Oh, the guy. What the hell?
• 3:25
  The guy's name? Eugene Robinson.
• 3:27
  Oh, yes. Yeah.
• 3:28
  For the Falcons. Yeah.
• 3:29
  He was busted on. He was so during the day on
• 3:32
  Saturday. NFL awards.
• 3:34
  Yep, Man of the year in the NFL. Goes out, picks up a prostitute,
• 3:39
  gets arrested, spends the night in jail.
• 3:41
  The NFL man of the year literally hours later, and then
• 3:46
  he would get out, get out, play the Super Bowl, and Rod Smith
• 3:49
  beat him over the top. Anyways, fond memories of that
• 3:52
  when Trent's absolutely Super Bowl 33, if memory serves.
• 3:57
  So yes, back to the Vikings. They're cooked.
• 4:00
  I think they are. I think they are.
• 4:02
  It's time to try all that thing. Yep.
• 4:04
  I'll let you play JJ McCarthy the rest of the year.
• 4:07
  If you think he's your guy. More power to you if he shows
• 4:09
  you better yet. But if not, you know what it's
• 4:14
  You can't win without a quarterback.
• 4:15
  You just cannot win. Or seldom can you win without a
• 4:19
  quarterback. I guess to be fair.
• 4:21
  But let let's find out what he's got mean.
• 4:23
  KOC saw something in him, saw something in him, and they
• 4:28
  drafted him 10th overall. So let him play, yeah?
• 4:31
  Sink or swim time? Yep.
• 4:32
  And then you can very quickly move on.
• 4:34
  I mean, with what you have with KOC, you have a guy that has
• 4:39
  proven he can win with discarded goods, You can win with some of
• 4:43
  the worst of the worst at the quarterback position.
• 4:46
  I mean, you look it through some of the guys that have started in
• 4:48
  one football games for him. We're not just talking about
• 4:51
  career backups. We're talking about queer
• 4:53
  laughing stocks and he turned them into guys at least in a
• 4:56
  short period. So go out there and get the next
• 4:59
  veteran, get whoever that veteran quarterback that's
• 5:02
  looking for a home, go that direction if you want, or go
• 5:04
  right back to the well with young guy.
• 5:05
  Regardless, you're gonna find out now about JJ McCarthy.
• 5:08
  Yeah, it's time. They'll get a little bit extra
• 5:11
  time, obviously, to get him ready to play.
• 5:13
  I, I know there's the theories out there that that he isn't
• 5:17
  hurt, that they're that they're protecting him, but would you
• 5:21
  really do that at the expense of everybody else on the roster
• 5:24
  'cause you see, Carson Wentz just cannot play well, Look, I
• 5:27
  give Wentz credit. He's tough, isn't he?
• 5:29
  He takes some shots and he keeps coming back for more.
• 5:34
  I thought Brosman was going to end of the game at the end of
• 5:36
  the first half. So did I when he couldn't move
• 5:38
  his left elbow. I know he throws with his right
• 5:40
  arm, but he you saw the pain if you watched the game last night.
• 5:44
  I was surprised he didn't play. You know what you said, the
• 5:48
  protecting of an injury, that alone because, yeah, it's not
• 5:50
  fair to the rest of the team. I don't think it's that.
• 5:53
  It's not 100% that. I think it's there's.
• 5:56
  Some of that. There's absolutely some of that
• 5:58
  that that little both, but it's also I don't think this guy's
• 6:02
  ready. We think that Carson Wentz gave
• 6:04
  us a better shot to win. And I think it's it's both of
• 6:07
  those things together. There is concerns about JJ
• 6:11
  McCarthy and his ability to process.
• 6:13
  He's had one good quarter. His ability to make raids go
• 6:16
  through progressions. It's not arm talent.
• 6:18
  No, he's got that. Anybody that is draft in the
• 6:20
  first round has arm talent. It's not.
• 6:22
  There's so much more to the quarterback, but.
• 6:24
  He wasn't asked to throw it a ton at Michigan.
• 6:26
  And the few times he did, though, you could see, I mean,
• 6:28
  that throw he made in the left sideline in that I'm a Michigan
• 6:32
  playoff can make all the throws. That thing is, I mean, that's
• 6:35
  that makes your first route right there.
• 6:36
  Right, but the. Windows are a lot narrower on
• 6:38
  Sundays opposed to Saturday. And when you can't hit those
• 6:41
  windows, what is it in the NFL you got to hit?
• 6:45
  We got to hit the door knob. Yeah.
• 6:46
  At minimum, we got to hit the door knob.
• 6:48
  And if you can't do that, you're not going to play.
• 6:50
  And then the great ones can, you know, hit the middle of the door
• 6:53
  knob and the, and the elite ones can put it in the keyhole.
• 6:56
  You know, those are the, those are the Tom Brady's The World
• 6:59
  that can do that. Well, I love listening to Tom
• 7:01
  Brady talk quarterback play, do you?
• 7:02
  I really do. I really not.
• 7:04
  I don't like him calling a game, but when he's sitting with
• 7:07
  whomever, right, just the how he processes a game and what made
• 7:12
  him tick. And there's a reason why he was
• 7:15
  arguably the best to ever do it right.
• 7:16
  He certainly got the hardware to back that up.
• 7:18
  I miss Greg Olson. Well, yeah, in the booth.
• 7:21
  Yeah, I do too. I mean, I agree with you 100%.
• 7:24
  But again, do they fish because they're paying him a lot of
• 7:28
  money? It's the one thing that Tom
• 7:29
  Brady has failed at, maybe in his whole life now, maybe his
• 7:31
  marriage. There's another one there's.
• 7:33
  Another one. Can breed out Drew Henson.
• 7:36
  There's another He's had a. Few.
• 7:37
  He's had a few, but very few, very few good stuff.
• 7:42
  World Series this weekend. The Fall Classic is upon.
• 7:45
  Us, I don't care. Isn't that strange?
• 7:47
  Is it because it's the Dodgers are because it's the Jays?
• 7:50
  It's more the Dodgers. The Dodgers, you just.
• 7:53
  Expect that this is going to be a short Series A not going to be
• 7:57
  much intrigue I. Well, you watching?
• 8:03
  Well, you'll be working in football.
• 8:05
  Where are you? Tonight, by the way.
• 8:06
  I'm going to be out at Waukee. Waukee, purple original Waukee,
• 8:09
  the Warriors playing host to Waterloo W top two players in
• 8:12
  the state going up. So Carson Nielsen from Waterloo
• 8:15
  W, who is committed to Iowa at Oklahoma, Michigan, Ohio State,
• 8:20
  he's going to be a Hawkeye next season.
• 8:22
  It's a win it in scenario for both teams.
• 8:24
  Whoever wins the game will be in the playoffs.
• 8:27
  The loser, if it's Waukee, they're out.
• 8:29
  If Waterloo W loses, they still might have a path to a sneak in
• 8:32
  there with the RPI rankings and how they play out, but win and
• 8:36
  in scenario for both teams. Pretty good spots.
• 8:38
  So so let me stop you just real quick.
• 8:40
  And I know that Anchorage Centenary has nothing to do with
• 8:42
  this conversation, but possess my guy.
• 8:44
  Are they in? They're in right now.
• 8:47
  So are they a winning in or if they if they get beat tonight,
• 8:51
  do they have a path? Probably not I I saw this
• 8:55
  website by our buddy now. Get back to baseball for you
• 8:58
  baseball fan I do want to talk about.
• 8:59
  More Andy Pollack had a guy on his podcast that was put
• 9:04
  together has this site. I want to send it around to the
• 9:06
  high school football fans. It's an RPI machine.
• 9:09
  So you plug in the results of the week and it spits out then
• 9:12
  what the RP is will be it's scrank sports, scrank, SCRANK,
• 9:18
  scranksports.com and you can play around with all the
• 9:22
  results. This just is in central Iowa.
• 9:25
  This is. Everyone, this is for everyone.
• 9:26
  Yeah, Plug it in and then it spits out what it's going to be.
• 9:29
  What it spits out if all the favorites win quote UN quote are
• 9:33
  going into the game tonight is Ankeny Centennial.
• 9:36
  This is free, Trent. Yeah Yep is the 15 seed.
• 9:39
  They would play Walkie Northwest in the first round.
• 9:41
  Waterloo W even with the loss would still be in but as a 16
• 9:45
  seed that means they get Dowling in the first round.
• 9:47
  Walkie with the win would be the 14 seed against Johnston, IA.
• 9:51
  City Liberty would be your four seed and it's crazy because
• 9:54
  Sioux City E right now looks really good, like top four in a
• 9:57
  potential for Sioux City E to host two playoff games because
• 10:01
  of who they play and the way the other games and the other way
• 10:04
  the RPI and the schedule spits out.
• 10:06
  They would actually even with a win all to a seven seed.
• 10:09
  Yeah, Sioux City E has not. In fact, a Sioux City public
• 10:14
  school has not played in the Unidome since 1984.
• 10:19
  That's crazy. That was when Sioux City E won
• 10:22
  the big school class 1984. So what was it back in the day?
• 10:25
  Was it 4A back in the day? Do you?
• 10:27
  Know it was 4A and they beat Waterloo East. 80.
• 10:32
  Four in the championship game they beat Waterloo EI think it
• 10:35
  was 2421. I was doing some research
• 10:37
  earlier in the week. They be Waterloo E led by the
• 10:41
  quarterback for the Trojans of Waterloo E, Courtney Messingham.
• 10:44
  How about was the quarterback for that team?
• 10:47
  I I figured you like that. No, that's awesome.
• 10:48
  Yes. Good stuff.
• 10:51
  So you do. Absolutely getting ready for
• 10:53
  playoff time and playoffs start tonight for two way down to 8.
• 10:57
  Player So what's your plan slash the Bulls plan for the playoffs?
• 11:02
  We will have you covered all the way through the state
• 11:04
  championship games, so it'll start next week.
• 11:07
  We'll find hopefully potentially the two games with locals.
• 11:10
  Don't obviously have it this week because they're just not a
• 11:12
  whole lot of good games. I think this is the best one on
• 11:14
  the board. We'll try to find a game next
• 11:16
  week with both locals. Same thing in the quarterfinals
• 11:18
  and we got you covered for the five both semifinals as long as
• 11:21
  there's. Local you will be at both.
• 11:23
  You'll do both of. Them done that what do they
• 11:25
  start 4? No, they don't.
• 11:26
  Do that, it's like 4. And seven.
• 11:27
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, done that now.
• 11:29
  Probably the last, I don't know, four or five years because we've
• 11:31
  had since they went away from the East West divide, we've had
• 11:35
  both team, two teams involved in at least each semi final of all
• 11:39
  of those years. So be there for both of those
• 11:41
  games and then the championship the Friday before Thanksgiving.
• 11:44
  In a way, we wild. This just goes so fast.
• 11:47
  Really truly does good stuff. Well, back to the World Series
• 11:50
  for a couple of minutes. I'm a Jays fan, just want to put
• 11:53
  that out there. I I love the confidence this
• 11:56
  team kind of has now. They might be walking into a
• 11:59
  slaughter. They very well may be.
• 12:02
  And when you look at that Dodgers lineup and you look at
• 12:05
  that Dodgers talent and you look at that Dodgers pitching staff,
• 12:08
  it's like, holy mackerel, you guys sure you want to be talking
• 12:11
  like this, but we'll see where it goes.
• 12:14
  I just hope it's competitive. So if you weren't doing high
• 12:17
  school football tonight, you tell me you wouldn't watch a
• 12:19
  pitch. I'd have it.
• 12:21
  I'll have it on up in the booth. That'll get the last week it was
• 12:24
  Nebraska, Minnesota got the TV or the the iPad?
• 12:27
  The iPad and we'll have the World Series on there tonight.
• 12:30
  I know Lucas will want to watch it too, as Lucas is.
• 12:32
  So is Lucas going to follow you to the Dome?
• 12:34
  No. No, he's, he's got duties back
• 12:36
  here. So we'll we'll figure out what
• 12:39
  we do up the Dome. We've done a couple of different
• 12:41
  things in the year. I want to ask you this.
• 12:43
  OK, as a Blue Jays fan, Yep. Bob Bouchette being included on
• 12:46
  the. Rock.
• 12:47
  I'm surprised. Do you like it?
• 12:49
  No, you don't. And.
• 12:51
  And I like Bobouchette. Yeah, I like Bobouchette with
• 12:56
  the bat in his hand. And he's OK as a shortstop.
• 12:59
  Jimenez is better, but I don't know who you're going to take
• 13:01
  out of the line up to put him back in.
• 13:03
  Bob Bouchette's a free agent. I think this is his final week
• 13:06
  as Jay, even though that's going to really piss off.
• 13:09
  Although I'm glad Guerrero's already signed because these two
• 13:12
  came up. But these are they're they're
• 13:13
  best friends. Yeah, I was surprised, but I, I
• 13:18
  mean, Joey Love, Profino, remember Beau Bichette, of
• 13:22
  course Bichette's going to be in there.
• 13:23
  I think he's a pinch hitter period at this point.
• 13:26
  He's not going to pinch run because he's he's hurt.
• 13:29
  And he got hurt in New York, right?
• 13:30
  He played the plate of all things.
• 13:33
  We'll see. I just hope that, you know, win
• 13:35
  a couple of games, make it somewhat competitive.
• 13:37
  Push it a little bit. Tuxedo Gaston.
• 13:41
  Still one of Chris Berman's better, I thought.
• 13:43
  Nicknames for players. Tuxedo Gaston throwing out the
• 13:46
  pitch in game one. The manager of the 92 and 93
• 13:49
  World Series winners and then Joe Carter throwing out the
• 13:52
  first pitch tomorrow. So a couple of big guns in
• 13:55
  Toronto as if you know, have you noticed what the some of the
• 13:58
  national media from the States is one of their questions that
• 14:02
  seemingly gets asked to all the Blue Jays?
• 14:04
  What's that pronounce Toronto? How do you pronounce Toronto?
• 14:07
  Do they say Toronto? Nah, some do.
• 14:10
  Yeah, some do. But anyways, OK, well, let's get
• 14:12
  you a keyword. Eugene REPAY is coming up one
• 14:16
  one thing and I don't know how to fit this in, so I'll just do
• 14:18
  it right now. If for the four NHL fans out
• 14:22
  there, Carolina and Colorado played last night and they wore
• 14:27
  their throwback uniforms the original teams, did you happen?
• 14:29
  To see this I did not so. Carolina wore their new are
• 14:33
  their Hartford Whaler Rd. unis beautiful beautiful and Colorado
• 14:39
  wore the Quebec Nordique home jerseys and the visual of those
• 14:45
  throwback uniforms. Absolutely.
• 14:48
  I have no idea. Won the game I think 54.
• 14:51
  Hurricanes. And in overtime, right?
• 14:53
  Oh, I'm looking at it right now. Oh, these?
• 14:54
  Are can you see the units spectacular.
• 14:57
  Doesn't it pop? I think that might be a close
• 15:01
  second to USCUCLA when they play each other as far as uniforms
• 15:06
  that just pop if you're on the if you're on the Twitter machine
• 15:09

  Eugene unbeaten. I was surprised personally that
• 16:39
  they beat Utah. When you listen to Campbell and
• 16:42
  some of the players speak and some of the coaching staff speak
• 16:45
  about BYU, what concerns them? Eugene, good to have you.
• 16:50
  Yeah, yeah. Always good to be on here to
• 16:52
  chatting up with you guys. The biggest thing with BYU that
• 16:54
  concerns them is just the way that BYU plays on both sides of
• 16:58
  the ball. Their physicality stands out the
• 17:00
  most. I mean, just offensively, that
• 17:02
  offensive line does a great job of paving the way for an
• 17:05
  offensive, averaging just over a touch over 232 rushing yards per
• 17:10
  game. The wide receivers love to get
• 17:12
  involved in the blocking, too. And then defensively,
• 17:15
  defensively, defense has always been their backbone.
• 17:18
  They generate turnovers. They hit hard, they get to the
• 17:21
  football and so just that physicality is what stands out
• 17:25
  to them the most. You know, this Iowa State team
• 17:28
  speaking, that physicality know when it's going to be a dogfight
• 17:30
  in this one. They're getting healthier,
• 17:32
  getting Carson Hanson back and getting, you know, that guy that
• 17:35
  can pick up third and two and get those tough three yards.
• 17:38
  That kind of guy getting his physicality back in there.
• 17:41
  Health wise, coming off the by, does it feel like Iowa State's
• 17:43
  in pretty good shape because boy, his feel is as good as your
• 17:46
  feel about some of the guys that he see Don Moran show up on the
• 17:49
  injury. Report yeah, that just seems to
• 17:52
  be the story with Iowa State. Just one that feels like that
• 17:54
  they're getting better, they're getting healthier.
• 17:56
  They they take a couple of steps back because now all of a sudden
• 17:58
  the guy like Dom Orange is still dealing with that ankle injury
• 18:01
  that he sustained during that Colorado game.
• 18:04
  So it's tough. You know, one hand, you're
• 18:05
  getting Carson Hanson back, you're trending closer to a Kyle
• 18:08
  Karardi, Chase Smith return. But now you have Dom Orange,
• 18:11
  who's just such a a big part of that defense in the middle of
• 18:15
  the defensive line is a block eater.
• 18:16
  Now he's questionable and and who knows how effective he'll
• 18:19
  be, if he's even able to play. So it it's tough.
• 18:23
  It's tough. I, I don't know if I could say
• 18:25
  that they're healthier, but I guess certain groups are getting
• 18:28
  healthier and other parts are, are still, you know, it's all
• 18:30
  hands on deck over there. You know, in in regards to
• 18:32
  Dominic Corns, and I don't mean to sound like I'm I'm crying
• 18:36
  fire in a crowded theater. I don't, but you you mention his
• 18:39
  ankle and and how healthy is he going to be?
• 18:41
  He's a first or a second round pick by a lot of NFL well draft
• 18:45
  scouts. You have to wonder if there's
• 18:47
  going to come a point where, and I know he's been great for the
• 18:50
  program. He's he's he's been there, you
• 18:53
  know, whenever they've needed him.
• 18:55
  Obviously he's the biggest cog on that defense.
• 18:57
  You have to wonder if there's going to come a point where he
• 19:00
  ultimately makes a business decision regarding his
• 19:03
  livelihood going forward once college comes to an end, if if
• 19:07
  the ankle is indeed that bad and if it perhaps, you know,
• 19:11
  prevents him from showing out to his full capabilities for the
• 19:14
  scouts going forward. Eugene.
• 19:17
  Yeah, no, that's definitely a tough conversational piece.
• 19:19
  And it's it's a concern that I've seen from a few fans just
• 19:22
  floating around on social media and things like that.
• 19:24
  But it's a legitimate one, unfortunately.
• 19:26
  I mean, I feel like especially in the last three to five years,
• 19:29
  we've seen more opt outs. We've seen more people quote UN
• 19:32
  quote shutting down or whatever it may be, You know, here Dom
• 19:35
  Orange has this ankle thing and depending on the severity of it,
• 19:39
  will we see him again or will we not?
• 19:41
  Right now, I guess it is still too early to, to kind of go down
• 19:44
  that way. But I look, I see the vision, I,
• 19:47
  I, I see where people are coming from when, when they bring that
• 19:50
  up as a concern. And that's just, unfortunately
• 19:52
  the way it is now with just college sports being such a
• 19:54
  business and of course, you know, NFL aspirations and all
• 19:57
  that. Especially if this week doesn't
• 19:59
  go their way and they're playing an undefeated team on the top of
• 20:02
  their standings, you know, there there's going to come a point.
• 20:04
  I'm not saying that's going to happen, but I've been saying
• 20:06
  that it's a legitimate concern. And it's a new reality.
• 20:08
  I don't blame them, but no and you don't.
• 20:10
  Either No, it's the new reality of college football.
• 20:12
  It's not just a Dom Orange thing, it's not just an Iowa
• 20:14
  State thing. It's college sports as we go
• 20:17
  through it right now. So let's say I'm Orange is out
• 20:19
  and it kind of, it feels like we're really trending that
• 20:21
  direction. Eugene, what's a better path for
• 20:25
  Iowa State to win this football game?
• 20:27
  Ground control, trying to shorten it up, try to play
• 20:31
  physical with by BYU or do you want to get this thing more in a
• 20:35
  shootout? I guess the way that I'm going,
• 20:36
  even offensively, more likely they're going to win this game
• 20:40
  running for 175 yards and both Sama and Hansen have a good game
• 20:44
  or this is 300 yards plus from Rocco.
• 20:47
  He's doing his thing and and they get out of this thing, you
• 20:49
  know, 3127, something like that. Yeah, I feel like there there's
• 20:53
  going to have to be a little bit of ball control, but also I
• 20:56
  think Rocco Beck is coming off of an uncharacteristic game for
• 21:00
  him. You know, it's one, it's a
• 21:01
  performance that he's taken hard on himself and he's looking to
• 21:04
  bounce back from that against Colorado.
• 21:06
  For me, though, I, I look at third down conversions, I feel
• 21:09
  like has has been struggling on that front, especially in these
• 21:13
  last two losses. And of course, it's tough when
• 21:15
  when you're dealing with kickers being out and and being injured.
• 21:19
  But if they can win third down, if they can keep those drives
• 21:22
  alive and having Carson Hanson will definitely help when you
• 21:25
  need those short yardage situations or just having
• 21:27
  another weapon that maybe you could neither pass it to him or
• 21:30
  whatever. But just third down is just so
• 21:32
  crucial. And BYU actually has the
• 21:34
  stingiest third down conversion rate allowed.
• 21:37
  Iowa State can win those or you know, get those key plays to
• 21:41
  just kind of keep Dr. sustained, put up some points, control the
• 21:45
  clock, control the whatever it may be.
• 21:47
  I I feel like that'll give them a shot to win here and pull off
• 21:50
  the outset. Yeah, because they have not done
• 21:51
  well in 3rd downs as of late. Conradi sounds like he's
• 21:54
  trending in the right direction. They truly need him.
• 21:57
  Obviously it's been, you know, they haven't been able to do
• 22:00
  what they want to do because they just haven't had the
• 22:02
  production out of that spot. Conradi, do you think it's it's
• 22:06
  better than 5050? Would you say at this point,
• 22:08
  maybe 7030 that he does play 8020?
• 22:11
  Where are you, Eugene, regarding Iowa State?
• 22:15
  Yeah, the staff is very optimistic that he'll be back.
• 22:17
  I don't know if there's a little bit of gamesmanship here with
• 22:20
  the injury report, but on Tuesday they were assertive that
• 22:23
  that he will be available on Saturday.
• 22:25
  I wonder if it's a case where they'll just have them for extra
• 22:28
  points and field goals. Obviously you don't need to use
• 22:30
  him or stress him with kickoff duties.
• 22:32
  But you know, I do feel like there's a good chance Camarades
• 22:35
  back. I would put it at with the way
• 22:39
  they were talking on Tuesday, it sounded like 8020, but I would
• 22:41
  go 7030. Going back to earlier in the
• 22:45
  week in Haycock, I thought it was interesting, you know,
• 22:47
  inside the locker room and you kind of wonder what's happening
• 22:50
  after back-to-back losses. You have to linger on it on top
• 22:52
  of it with a bye week. And, you know, he said, I think
• 22:55
  we're at a crossroads. I he laid it out there.
• 22:58
  Iowa State's been good in these kind of spots.
• 23:00
  Historically, this has been a spot where Matt Campbell when
• 23:03
  the doubters are out there, they've been able to punch back.
• 23:06
  Do you anticipate that kind of performance?
• 23:08
  And regardless how the game wins out, they're going to go down
• 23:11
  fighting at minimum. Yeah, I think they'll go down
• 23:13
  fighting. It is an interesting point that
• 23:16
  you do bring up that, yeah, like when their backs are against the
• 23:18
  walls or when the odds are stacked against them or whatever
• 23:21
  it may be when people start to write them off, that was when
• 23:23
  Iowa State just rises to the occasion and exceeds
• 23:26
  expectations. The rest of their schedule is
• 23:29
  definitely tough. But I don't think Iowa State's
• 23:31
  going to roll over. I don't think that this is a
• 23:33
  team that's going to collapse or anything like that.
• 23:35
  I don't think we'll see an avalanche of losses.
• 23:37
  I wouldn't. You know, I know Vegas right now
• 23:39
  is leaning towards Iowa State for this game and, and, and you
• 23:43
  know, it's definitely there's definitely a case there, but I I
• 23:47
  think Iowa State will step things up and ramp things up
• 23:50
  coming down the stretch. This is a soul searching moment.
• 23:52
  It kind of reminds me of last year a little bit when they lost
• 23:55
  to Texas Tech and Kansas. And then you thought maybe, oh,
• 23:57
  the injuries are piling up. It's too much.
• 24:00
  They're not going to be able to regroup from this.
• 24:02
  And then they one out for the rest of the regular season.
• 24:04
  So you can't write them off yet. No, absolutely not.
• 24:07
  And the good thing is, is the Games is Jack Trice, the last
• 24:10
  two of their two losses, those back-to-back losses on the road
• 24:13
  and then they get that bye week basketball.
• 24:15
  Eugene Northwestern on Sunday, noon or 1:00 Eugene, do you know
• 24:21
  noon? OK, noon, 12 noon.
• 24:23
  Yeah, you were over in Omaha a week ago tonight and that's why
• 24:26
  they have these exhibition games, to kind of get a feel for
• 24:29
  what your team and what you're working on, etcetera.
• 24:31
  Obviously they're going to shoot better than they did last Friday
• 24:35
  night. We, we, we hope that it can't be
• 24:38
  that bad. What did you see?
• 24:39
  What what do you think concerned TJ?
• 24:42
  What did he focus on this week once he got the team back and
• 24:45
  back on the practice floor in advance of tomorrow's final
• 24:48
  exhibition prep against Northwestern?
• 24:51
  Yeah, I feel like they really worked on ramping up the
• 24:53
  defensive intensity. It felt like against Creighton
• 24:56
  in the first half, they were scattered.
• 24:57
  They were stepped behind everything.
• 24:58
  They weren't really forcing turnovers.
• 25:00
  And then in the second-half against Creighton, they were
• 25:02
  able to make a little bit of comeback there, trimming a 28
• 25:06
  point deficit to just 8. And it all started on the
• 25:09
  defensive end and it started with, you know, freshman
• 25:11
  basketball being able to contest shots, doing a much better job
• 25:15
  of generating turnovers and moving the ball.
• 25:17
  So I think that you know, TJ Altoberger will will continue to
• 25:21
  drill that this week going into Northwestern.
• 25:23
  As we know, Iowa State is at its best when it's able to feast in
• 25:26
  transition or or capitalize on opponents mistakes.
• 25:29
  So that that second-half was promising because the first half
• 25:34
  the way that that 23 O run unfolded at Omaha, you thought,
• 25:37
  Oh no, what what is going on here?
• 25:39
  What what is happening to this team?
• 25:41
  But then in the second-half they really started to correct some
• 25:43
  things and chose some problem solving.
• 25:45
  And of course tame ellipses out too.
• 25:46
  So that's all. That's still a factor.
• 25:48
  But yeah, it's just an exhibition so you can't read too
• 25:52
  much into it. But there are definitely some
• 25:54
  some signs of improvement and some promising signs to carry
• 25:57
  forward. Eugenerepaydesmoinesregister.com,
• 26:00
  desmoinesregister.com Eugene and Travis Hines got you covered for
• 26:04
  Iowa State. Eugene, as always, thank you for
• 26:06
  doing this. We'll run you down next week if
• 26:08
  your schedule allows. Thank you, Eugene, Good to talk
• 26:11
  to you. Eugene Rappe, as we check in on
• 26:14
  iowastatedesmoinesregister.com. By the way, you may want to keep
• 26:17
  refreshingdesmoinesregister.com throughout the afternoon.
• 26:19
  A little piece coming up that may interest some of you that
• 26:23
  apparently is going to be out this afternoon.
• 26:26
  It is time to take a break. We'll come back.
• 26:29
  We will head to Las Vegas, catch up with our buddy Mike Palm.
• 26:33
  Miller and Condon underway on a Friday, it's the Iowa Sports
• 26:36
  Radio Network. Hi, Miller.
• 26:39
  Condon, welcome back, guy with Sports Radio Network.
• 26:41
  Trent Condon, Ken Miller with you until 2.
• 26:44
  Bama Bob kicks off our number 2 Tom Cacord on the Hawks.
• 26:48
  Let's head to Las Vegas. You got a tight window, so let's
• 26:50
  get to write to Mike Pom, VP of operations at Circus Sports.
• 26:55
  Mike, thanks for finding a few minutes for us.
• 26:57
  We won't keep you. Start with the the fall classic
• 27:00
  Blue Jays, obviously in the Dodgers.
• 27:02
  I'm guessing you need the Blue Jays in this series.
• 27:05
  Is it pronounced difference between Dodgers in Blue Jays
• 27:09
  when it comes to Circa as to who wins?
• 27:12
  I think it's about a $700,000 swing for us.
• 27:17
  We need the Blue Jays. We've had a lot of cross board
• 27:19
  parlays that close out with the Dodgers, one in the World
• 27:24
  Series. Remember, they were plus 220 in
• 27:26
  March and then just through the course of the year, you know
• 27:31
  that the public likes to bet the Dodgers at any price, and we
• 27:33
  didn't have a lot of Blue Jays action.
• 27:35
  So it's very pronounced. Can you make a case for Toronto?
• 27:41
  Well, you can make the historical case of when the team
• 27:44
  sweeps. Yeah.
• 27:44
  And the other team goes 7, so it's five and O to the team that
• 27:48
  went seven. I think we'll know tonight.
• 27:52
  There's ten days off, 10 days of rest.
• 27:55
  Effect. Blake Snell, That's got to be
• 27:58
  the hope for Toronto that this Dodger team may be rusty the
• 28:02
  first two games. I don't know.
• 28:04
  I don't like the fact they don't have a lot of left-handed arms
• 28:06
  against that left-handed heavy lineup.
• 28:10
  I, you know, I don't have a position here in this, but if
• 28:13
  you told me what's your prediction, I would, I would say
• 28:17
  Dodgers in 5 or 6. Dodgers 5 or 6.
• 28:20
  Have you seen many people jump aboard in that market?
• 28:22
  Dodgers in Dodgers in a sweep. Dodgers in five.
• 28:25
  Have you seen people jump aboard in that market?
• 28:27
  Because if you want to play the Dodgers, it's hard to lay that
• 28:30
  kind of price going into a World Series.
• 28:33
  Yeah, Dodgers in 5 has been the most popular bet here.
• 28:37
  Others, because, you know, we're at 240, they're probably going
• 28:40
  to play individual games. I mean, he gets now for for less
• 28:43
  than $1.40. I mean, it's a whole dollar
• 28:45
  difference in the price of smell in game one versus the series or
• 28:50
  late game and 1/2 or late 2, 1/2, Those are the more popular
• 28:52
  ways to play the series. Let's talk about the two locals.
• 28:55
  College football teams. Iowa State narrow favorite. 2
• 28:59
  1/2 has been that way most of the week.
• 29:00
  Mike, what are you seeing? BYU.
• 29:02
  Iowa State. Yeah, it's not moving.
• 29:05
  That's the line that hasn't moved.
• 29:06
  Where there's been a little movement in the Iowa game.
• 29:08
  I don't really get the number. BYU is a physical football team.
• 29:14
  Iowa State can't tackle. I I don't know how they're a
• 29:16
  home favorite here, but we'll see what happens.
• 29:22
  But I I I would be surprised if Iowa State wins this game by any
• 29:27
  margin at all. You go to the BYU Iowa State
• 29:31
  game and this has been an interesting one.
• 29:34
  It's it's the old one, taking the Iowa State angle away from
• 29:37
  it. You got a ranked team against an
• 29:39
  unranked team, yet they're the underdog.
• 29:41
  And so many times this has been you believe in trends.
• 29:43
  This has been a trend that has worked in college football.
• 29:46
  And it says take the Cyclones this week.
• 29:48
  Yeah, except Matt Campbell sucks in games where the line is 4
• 29:51
  points or less. He does not have a good record
• 29:54
  in these games where the line is is 4 one way or the other or
• 29:57
  less. So I mean, you have you have the
• 30:00
  overall trend in college football versus Matt Campbell.
• 30:04
  Iowa on the other hand, there are AI.
• 30:07
  Think you guys were down to 8 last time I checked just before
• 30:10
  the show, somewhere between 8:00 and 9:00 and a half point.
• 30:12
  Favorite Gophers look good against the Huskers last week.
• 30:15
  Iowa, the beat goes on there. What are you seeing?
• 30:19
  At most, I mean, every time I look at it, it moves one way or
• 30:23
  the other. It was 9 yesterday, then down to
• 30:25
  8. You know, I've tried Trent
• 30:29
  facing a lot of backlash and then the Minnesota communities
• 30:33
  for the way he talks about PJ Fleck was the ultimate con man.
• 30:37
  I mean, maybe he can parlay his victory over a very average
• 30:41
  Nebraska team into the Vikings job.
• 30:43
  I'm not sure He had everybody in Minneapolis State, Paul
• 30:47
  convinced that he beat the 83 Huskers last week.
• 30:49
  It is. It is just an ultimate blend
• 30:52
  plan job up there. He has this one win every year
• 30:55
  that they they all circle around say we got to give him another
• 30:58
  five year extension. It's it's really a joke.
• 31:02
  I love that I it's good for Iowa that Minnesota won last week.
• 31:05
  I think because now they're coming off that high spot,
• 31:08
  although it is a pretty big rivalry game, I wouldn't want to
• 31:13
  lay more than a touchdown in this spot honestly, and in what
• 31:16
  has been a very low scoring series through the years, 8 or 9
• 31:21
  is a lot of points. Kind of where I am on that one
• 31:24
  to the NFL circa Survivor. We thought we were going to get
• 31:27
  cartage. Oh boy.
• 31:29
  There was a moment, probably about 555 our time on Sunday
• 31:32
  afternoon. I thought that the Cardinals
• 31:34
  were going to get home, the Giants were going to get home,
• 31:36
  and things were going to be looking a whole lot different.
• 31:38
  Didn't happen. Now we get this week with the
• 31:41
  whole teams. You're starting to look around a
• 31:43
  little bit more. Certainly that's been the case.
• 31:45
  I'm thinking about using the Bengals this week, Cincinnati
• 31:49
  against anybody, even The Jets. It's concerning the Patriots,
• 31:52
  but they still have The Jets 2 more times this year.
• 31:54
  Kind of a tricky week this week in Survivor, Mike.
• 31:57
  Yeah, there looks to be some choices that that might be
• 32:01
  fairly. I think the Falcons will be
• 32:02
  highly used against this doll just because this.
• 32:06
  I mean, if you you cannot put McDaniel or two in front of a
• 32:09
  microphone. It's absolutely mind boggling
• 32:13
  the things that they say on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday out
• 32:15
  to it. Can't see over the line.
• 32:17
  McDaniel can't form a sentence. I I think that's going to be the
• 32:21
  most popular pick, although you know, you you go down the list
• 32:24
  and you can you can make cases for a couple of teams.
• 32:27
  But I agree. I, I would say the Patriots for
• 32:30
  when they, when they host The Jets.
• 32:35
  You're right. I mean, I, I would, if it was
• 32:37
  me, I would take Atlanta in this spot.
• 32:39
  Yeah, I I'm with you. I will get you out of here on
• 32:41
  this mic. And I'm only asking you because
• 32:43
  you're a huge hockey fan. I almost bugged you last night
• 32:44
  and texted you. Did you see the the Hurricanes
• 32:48
  and the Avalanche throwback jerseys and and did it pop off
• 32:51
  your television screen like it did mine?
• 32:53
  You mean the whalers and the? Yes, absolutely.
• 32:57
  And it was a hell of a game it. Was apparently.
• 33:00
  An interesting start to the NHL season, I would say.
• 33:04
  Blackhawks might have a little bit of life.
• 33:06
  It looks really bad. Tampa can't score.
• 33:10
  So it's it's been an interesting start.
• 33:12
  I have I bet before the season started right, right, right on
• 33:16
  opening day. I bet we have a latch over
• 33:20
  devils in the. Good one. 5059 to 1.
• 33:25
  So New Jersey looks like the best team in hockey to me right
• 33:28
  now. Boy, are they fast.
• 33:30
  And I've been betting them all along.
• 33:31
  I continue to to. I don't think the market's
• 33:33
  caught up with them yet because everybody remembers the end of
• 33:35
  last year but that they were riddled by injuries.
• 33:38
  Yeah, no, you're 100% right. I'm with you on the ABS.
• 33:40
  They look terrific and New Jersey's fun to watch.
• 33:43
  Mike, we'll let you get back to your meeting.
• 33:44
  Thanks for stepping out for a few minutes.
• 33:45
  Have a great week, Mike Palm. Thanks guys.
• 33:47
  Good luck this weekend. Thank you.
• 33:49
  Good to talk to you, Mike Palm, VP of operations at Circus
• 33:52
  Sports. Download the new Circus Sports
• 33:53
  app in the state of Iowa. It'll get to Illinois within the
• 33:58
  coming months. But if you are listening over in
• 34:00
  Illinois, download the Circus Sports app in Illinois as well.
• 34:03
  And what he said, I think is absolutely apropos.
• 34:06
  Everybody needs the Dodger. I mean, needs the Blue Jays if
• 34:10
  you're a sports book operator because how many, you know,
• 34:13
  multi chat? I mean, I've got a handful of
• 34:14
  them ending with the Dodgers, right.
• 34:18
  Can we stack them together? I love to bet that way, Trent.
• 34:20
  I truly do. Champion of the Stanley Cup
• 34:23
  Final four, throwing up anything and then use the quote free
• 34:27
  square at the end, which is the Dodgers to win or what?
• 34:31
  Who was it a couple years ago? What in what the Oh, the South
• 34:33
  Carolina, the women, right. We all cash tickets there.
• 34:38
  Well, take that one. That was they beat, I win that
• 34:41
  guy, they beat I win that kid for the free square.
• 34:43
  And they were at that time like plus 25225, something like that.
• 34:47
  Well, whatever you're putting together, just throw that in
• 34:49
  there and that one came to fruition.
• 34:51
  No it. Did all right.
• 34:52
  I got to talk through this a little bit with you since we've
• 34:54
  got a little time. What do you got, by the way?
• 34:56
  The story's out at The Register. Former sports radio personality
• 35:00
  Marty Terrell indicted to get on new fraud charges.
• 35:02
  Shocker survivor this week? Yep, now you mentioned the
• 35:08
  Falcons. But you've used them.
• 35:11
  I've used Atlanta, so we have to cross them off.
• 35:13
  I don't get them at home where they're always a front runner at
• 35:16
  home against those God awful Dolphins who are just so the
• 35:22
  teams I can't use the Colts already use the Colts, can't use
• 35:24
  them against the Titans, so they get crossed off.
• 35:27
  The Chiefs told you. You're saving them.
• 35:29
  Saving them so the three big spreads of the week are all
• 35:34
  cross offs. I'm not playing the Eagles
• 35:35
  against the Giants. I'm not playing a divisional
• 35:38
  game. You know this, You know it is
• 35:39
  still at this point and I don't think last week.
• 35:43
  Did did last night make you dig in your heels even more that the
• 35:46
  Eagles are fixed? It's a tough word.
• 35:50
  It's a tough week to say the word fixed that.
• 35:54
  That they're not broken, Maybe. Because you and our power
• 35:59
  rankings on our inside the numbers the other.
• 36:01
  I love the way that they beat the Vikings and then the Vikings
• 36:03
  look like absolute dog crap last night.
• 36:06
  I don't want to use the Bills at Carolina, don't want to use a
• 36:09
  road team. I think it's down to two or you
• 36:12
  still got the Bills. I do.
• 36:14
  I think it's down to. And you won't use the bills this
• 36:16
  week. You won't.
• 36:17
  Use No, actually, I have used the Bills.
• 36:18
  Now you say that I have used the Bills.
• 36:20
  I think it's down to Cincinnati or the Patriots.
• 36:24
  Cincinnati over The Jets and The Jets are just God awful.
• 36:28
  Is Fields going to play? Are they going to bench him?
• 36:31
  No, they did and Tyrod came in and now he's hurt.
• 36:34
  So it's 6 1/2 dozen, the other right at the quarterback spot
• 36:39
  for him. And yet Joe Flacco looked great
• 36:41
  on that Thursday. Now he.
• 36:42
  Did did you see his quote about eating by himself in a
• 36:45
  restaurant? Can he replicate that though?
• 36:48
  He's got the two. He's got the best.
• 36:51
  I think Chase is an inch above Jefferson that.
• 36:54
  Offensive line played as good as it has all seasoned.
• 36:56
  And been awful. But the Steelers have also
• 36:59
  stormed I don't know. And then the others.
• 37:01
  Down to Cincy and and the Patriots.
• 37:05
  OK, Drake may kind of the the flavor of the month, right?
• 37:08
  What he's done this is who he has beat up on in this winning
• 37:12
  streak. All right, the Carolina Panthers
• 37:15
  who gave up their they're. Better though, they're better.
• 37:17
  What week was that? That was the last week in
• 37:20
  September. OK at the Bills.
• 37:23
  Not a good defense. No, but you're still at Bills,
• 37:26
  the Saints, and they're you. What do you call them?
• 37:29
  Plucky. Plucky, not good.
• 37:31
  And the Titans. Really bad.
• 37:34
  All those defenses are on the bottom third of the league.
• 37:37
  All of them. All four of them.
• 37:38
  So your survivor, your survival in survivor, is going to come
• 37:44
  down to the Bengals or the Patriots.
• 37:48
  And the Patriots against the Browns defense.
• 37:50
  This is the first time the Drake Bay is going to see a good
• 37:52
  defense. There's also a guy that lost to
• 37:53
  the Raiders in Week 1 on top of it.
• 37:58
  The Patriots still have two games left with The Jets.
• 38:01
  Do you want to bank? Do you want to bank the Patriots
• 38:03
  for that? What is will you?
• 38:04
  Is there a case where you can use Cincinnati again?
• 38:08
  I don't think so. That was the other angle that
• 38:10
  they do. Play at Dolphins and you won't
• 38:12
  play that game. Divisional game on the road I
• 38:15
  will not. That is a cross.
• 38:17
  They host the Cardinals possibly, but that's Week 16, so
• 38:21
  you got to get there. And and Burl might be.
• 38:23
  And Burl will be back. At that point.
• 38:26
  You use this, you have to use the Bengals.
• 38:28
  The only other team that I really like this week, and this
• 38:31
  will be part of our picks coming up in the NFL, this is one of my
• 38:35
  two NFL picks is the Houston Texans against the 49ers.
• 38:39
  You might say I just watched this team and Monday night.
• 38:40
  You're taking Houston. I am.
• 38:43
  I love you. That's defense.
• 38:45
  The Niners lost another defensive half, right.
• 38:49
  We know Fred Warner's out. Yeah, we know Fred Warner's out.
• 38:52
  I and Mac Jones is starting. I love their defense against the
• 38:56
  40. I just don't think the 49ers are
• 38:57
  going to score now. Thought the Texans scored off
• 39:00
  and 2 BC. That's less than a field.
• 39:02
  Goal. That would be about the only
• 39:04
  other angle when you couple all the teams that are still alive
• 39:07
  in this world. That's why this contest is so
• 39:10
  tough. You are.
• 39:11
  This is going to eat at you until you submit your pick.
• 39:15
  I. Do you?
• 39:17
  Are you asking me for my opinion 'cause I don't want to give it
• 39:20
  if you don't? What do you have for?
• 39:22
  Me, I would use the Bengals. That's where I think I'm going.
• 39:25
  I would use the Bengals God. Now, if I'm going with Joe
• 39:28
  Flacco in the Cincinnati Bengals this deep into the contest.
• 39:32
  In the final week of October without Joe Burrow.
• 39:35
  Without Joe Burrow with $18,455,000 at the end of the
• 39:40
  rainbow and you're still alive and 14,000 of us are by the
• 39:45
  wayside. Oh yo-yo, yo-yo I.
• 39:49
  Think I'm doing it. I think you should I.
• 39:51
  Think I'm going to. I now have a noon window game
• 39:55
  that I will be locked and loaded on because the noon slate on on
• 39:59
  Sunday. I mean, I mean, I'm glad it's
• 40:02
  bad so we can watch Iowa State, Northwestern, at least a lot of
• 40:04
  it. Now I'm going to be watching the
• 40:08
  Bengals and The Jets, I guess. We locally here across the state
• 40:12
  of Iowa, we. What do we get?
• 40:13
  Let me let me try and guess. Do we have time?
• 40:15
  We've got, we're going to. Oh my God, what a pile of crap.
• 40:18
  It's worse than I thought. We get the Bears and the Ravens.
• 40:21
  We do. That'll be the early window for
• 40:22
  everybody. CBS late.
• 40:24
  Everybody else will get the Cowboys and the Broncos, The Fox
• 40:28
  single game in Des Moines. Yes, 49ers, Texans, Eastern
• 40:34
  Iowa. You will be getting Giants
• 40:36
  Philadelphia, as will Western and North Iowa.
• 40:39
  And the CBS late window, everyone will Well, it's an
• 40:42
  indie. No, it should be Dallas Denver.
• 40:44
  It's a it's a no brainer. Dallas, Denver.
• 40:46
  Outside of the local markets, that's what you'll get.
• 40:47
  Hour 2 coming up in the next Bama, Bob Trent and I kick it
• 40:50
  off with college football. Tom Kakert on the Hawks, Miller
• 40:52
  and Condon on Des Moines Sports Station One O 6.3 KXNO.
