Field of Dreams game back, High School Football Top 5, Big 12 & Cyclone talk with Matt Postins & the Voice of the Chiefs Mitch Holthus · The Lunch Rush with Trent Condon

• 0:14
  All right, good afternoon. Welcome Miller and Condon on a
• 0:17
  Tuesday, the Iowa Sports Radio Network back for six hours of
• 0:22
  Iowa based program and thank you for starting your afternoon here
• 0:25
  with us. Here's what's coming up on our
• 0:28
  program in 25 minutes. Matt Poston's covers the Big 12
• 0:34
  for Heartland College Sports. One game in the books in the Big
• 0:38
  12, another slate coming up this weekend.
• 0:41
  Some big games, some national spotlight for Baylor, certainly
• 0:45
  for TCU on Monday night when the country will be watching
• 0:49
  Belichick versus TCU. So we'll talk to Matt Postons
• 0:53
  about the Big 12 when he joins us at about 12:25.
• 0:56
  Mitch Holtis has got a couple more appearances with Trent and
• 1:00
  I before he gets into his weekly conversations.
• 1:02
  He will join us about 12:45-ish, then we'll head to Iowa City.
• 1:07
  John Bowen Camp, Associated Press.
• 1:10
  It's Hawkeye Weekly media availability players this
• 1:14
  morning. So that will have taken place
• 1:16
  when John joins us at 1:00. Kirk Ference won't speak until
• 1:20
  1:45, but we'll talk about the Hawks and what the John, how
• 1:24
  John sees their upcoming season, etcetera, etcetera.
• 1:27
  We'll do that to kick off the second hour of our show and then
• 1:30
  we'll go on record because next week after all this, Cy Hawk and
• 1:34
  that will dominate the conversation despite the fact
• 1:36
  that it's week one of the NFL, it'll be seihawk, seihawk,
• 1:39
  seihawk, NFL baseball, seihawk, seihawk, seihawk.
• 1:42
  So we'll make our predictions. Get those out of the way today
• 1:45
  before we turn things over to off the bench.
• 1:47
  Lucas and Sean coming up from 2:00 until 5:00.
• 1:52
  Baseball last night. You know, Speaking of baseball
• 1:55
  and any other Monday, this probably would have started our
• 1:58
  program and you and Sean were kicking.
• 2:01
  Just, you know, our usual preacher.
• 2:04
  That's not a meeting BS we do and we were talking about the
• 2:09
  Field of Dreams and Tommy Birch is going to be on with Sean
• 2:11
  later on. I think that's how it came up.
• 2:13
  We never even mentioned it yesterday.
• 2:16
  Yeah, I I had it on my list for Matt Snyder and just didn't get
• 2:18
  to it as we were talking a myriad of different things, but
• 2:22
  quite the coup and that, well, there'll be one game I'll be
• 2:25
  excited about for the Twins next.
• 2:26
  Year. No, it has to be right.
• 2:27
  And how about Bob Nightingale? Yeah.
• 2:31
  I mean, he he he swung and missed twice before he realized,
• 2:36
  OK, it's not the Guardians, it's not going to be the Mets, It's
• 2:39
  the Twins. I mean, is it another case of
• 2:42
  the race to be first? Yes, absolutely.
• 2:44
  Bob Nightingale for a long time has been known as that kind of
• 2:46
  guy. He's misses more stuff, Trent.
• 2:49
  He truly does. But he gets it out there and
• 2:51
  eventually gets right. And he gets it right.
• 2:53
  Yeah. But nonetheless, right or wrong,
• 2:55
  it's, it's going to be fascinating.
• 2:56
  I for my money. For my money.
• 2:58
  I didn't grow up here. This to me is the most, that was
• 3:02
  the biggest game in our state. I know there's been big football
• 3:04
  games about Jack Dreisenich Stadium.
• 3:07
  I mean, huge games, I get it. But for the national spotlight,
• 3:12
  the way it was and the way it played, you're not going to get
• 3:14
  Kevin Costner to come back. Again.
• 3:16
  Right. The Griffey's aren't coming back
• 3:17
  to have a game of catch the way it was done.
• 3:21
  It'll I don't think it'll ever come close and I'm glad that
• 3:24
  some time it lapsed between the very first rendition or edition
• 3:28
  rather of of name of a Field of Dreams game to this one.
• 3:33
  I mean, I think it's going to be great, but I don't think I'm
• 3:37
  close. I don't see how you possibly
• 3:39
  can, Trent. It's impossible to replicate
• 3:41
  what it was. It was so special.
• 3:43
  It was perfect. The game was incredible.
• 3:46
  I mean, you had just so many components that it's, it's
• 3:48
  difficult to replicate anything close to that.
• 3:50
  But that's OK. That's OK because you'll get 2
• 3:52
  new fan bases there. You'll hopefully have a Trent
• 3:55
  Condon somewhere inside that building.
• 3:58
  I'm going to be you. Should have seen him
• 3:59
  politicking. I don't.
• 4:02
  I don't try to put my foot down very often.
• 4:04
  That was one. If we get a press pass, I call
• 4:06
  dibs on. If it's only one, it's going to
• 4:08
  this guy because I'm the only Twins fan.
• 4:10
  You are. It makes perfect sense.
• 4:12
  Makes perfect sense. So.
• 4:14
  Anyway, Heather got to go to Ireland.
• 4:16
  She did. I'll go to Dyersville.
• 4:18
  Yeah, it's much easier trip. No, I I didn't.
• 4:21
  I saw a lot of people just had nightmares.
• 4:23
  I mean, some of those poor people that never got that one
• 4:25
  travel company, they never got there, and they're not going to
• 4:28
  refund their money. I mean, come on.
• 4:30
  What an awful look by that company.
• 4:31
  I wish it's on something. Anyways, I don't think Heather
• 4:35
  had travel nightmares, did you? See.
• 4:36
  Didn't. No, it didn't seem.
• 4:37
  Like I saw a lot that did getting, but you know what air
• 4:40
  travel, right? It's come to be expected.
• 4:43
  It's the price you have to pay when you get to.
• 4:45
  For some people, that had to be a once in a lifetime.
• 4:48
  Experience. Oh, no doubt, right.
• 4:49
  And incredibly had a lot of FOMO.
• 4:51
  I mean it looked so much fun. Especially the way it turned
• 4:53
  turned down. Now K State fans might not feel
• 4:55
  on location. Thank you is the is the company
• 4:58
  that left a lot of people high and dry.
• 5:00
  But for a lot of for for a lot the K State fans, their their
• 5:04
  trip home wasn't very good, but Iowa State fans were still on
• 5:07
  cloud 9, literally. Probably wasn't a fun to drive
• 5:10
  our flight back either for the Johnson family, right?
• 5:13
  That would have been awkward, right?
• 5:14
  That would have been really. You think they were shoulder to
• 5:16
  shoulder? Yeah, You know what it's it's in
• 5:20
  a, it's in a way, it's really sad.
• 5:22
  You know, it's sad that it came to that, especially when it's
• 5:27
  not like, you know, you're the backup left guard and and no
• 5:30
  offense to backup left guard families around the country.
• 5:33
  It means this is a quarterback, the face of the franchise, and
• 5:36
  for his dad and his brother to get into it the way that they
• 5:38
  did. There was talk that they should
• 5:43
  suspend Avery. Yeah, you mentioned that.
• 5:45
  You can't. You.
• 5:46
  Yeah. Nothing.
• 5:47
  You had nothing to do with it. Exactly what are you going to do
• 5:50
  that? I mean, that makes zero sense to
• 5:51
  me. Avery Johnson's going to miss a
• 5:53
  game. I.
• 5:54
  Mean if you're because. Of your because of your stupid
• 5:56
  brother and father. Your dad's a crook.
• 5:58
  Does that mean that you need to have a suspension or no?
• 6:00
  Absolutely not. It's it's laughable.
• 6:03
  It's laughable, but that is the environment.
• 6:05
  I, I guess, I guess I would say put out their depth chart today.
• 6:10
  There's changes on it. Yes, I'm shocked by this.
• 6:13
  I truly am sure normally we would get one depth chart and
• 6:17
  like it or leave it. Like it or leave it.
• 6:20
  That's it. We'll put one out if we make it
• 6:23
  to the bowl game, but they're taking this very seriously and
• 6:26
  good for them. Do you think this has something
• 6:28
  to do with the availability room?
• 6:29
  Yes, I think it has everything to.
• 6:31
  Do with do you? Yeah, that that is the reason
• 6:34
  that we see this is because, well, it's going to be out there
• 6:36
  because of the injury. Report.
• 6:38
  So let's stop hiding behind anything.
• 6:40
  It's out there. Everybody has to do it in the
• 6:42
  Big 12. Let's just go out there and do
• 6:44
  it. I think it's great.
• 6:46
  I. Think it's great Trevor Burr's
• 6:48
  back at starting left guard. So will we find out what his
• 6:51
  illness was? I don't need to know, yeah.
• 6:56
  It's like we talk about with injury reports.
• 6:58
  Yeah, I don't know if it don't need, if it's your shoulder, if
• 6:59
  it's your knee, if it's your ankle, whatever you're playing
• 7:02
  or you're not, are you questionable?
• 7:05
  Are you probable or whatever it is, however they designate them.
• 7:08
  No, I, I don't, I don't know, you know what if, if we, if
• 7:13
  we'll ever find out what it is. But they're, they miss him and
• 7:16
  they're going to go right back into that left guard spot.
• 7:19
  I don't know what they'll do as far as the center position.
• 7:22
  Boniface Barrett Black's going, he was at right guard.
• 7:24
  So I'm sure he will stay there. You know, one guy we never
• 7:27
  mentioned. It was a hell of a play.
• 7:28
  And I wish I I had it in my notes to give Jameson Patton his
• 7:32
  flowers because what a play he made on Avery Johnson when he's
• 7:35
  trying to pick up that 4th. Down.
• 7:37
  I mean here he comes like a freaking missile.
• 7:40
  He had bad intentions on his mind and he got there and
• 7:43
  delivered a hit and probably prevented K State from
• 7:48
  continuing the drive with a fresh set of downs.
• 7:50
  One of the I I see right now that Haycock is up on the
• 7:53
  podium. Is he right now?
• 7:55
  And a guy that we didn't talk about, I don't believe is a
• 7:58
  pretty big story. Jeremiah Cooper playing
• 8:00
  cornerback. Yeah, the switch.
• 8:02
  Yep. Going over there because they
• 8:05
  are not real deep at that position.
• 8:06
  Yet, and he played a lot and now he is listed as the starting
• 8:10
  cornerback. Trey Bell is now looking up at
• 8:12
  him on the depth. Chart so you have that component
• 8:15
  of it and then the strength of safety that we did talk about
• 8:17
  with Pat and with Neil with those young guys and there's
• 8:19
  more of them surges, yes, they're incredibly deep in
• 8:22
  safety. It certainly makes sense.
• 8:24
  Now you talk about helping yourself out next April.
• 8:28
  Oh yeah. I was just a all Big 12 player
• 8:30
  at safety. Then I had to move over to
• 8:32
  cornerback. You talk about going up draft
• 8:34
  boards and being able to do that and do it at a high level.
• 8:37
  I've always loved Jeremiah Cooper.
• 8:38
  I mean, he popped right away. You could just see he was
• 8:41
  special. And you throw that in there,
• 8:43
  you're probably talking about another day two pick for Iowa
• 8:46
  State with that kind of versatility.
• 8:48
  I see that draft, Knicks, Dane Brueglers of the world, they
• 8:53
  have the big citrus in the second round.
• 8:55
  I don't know where he was prior to this game.
• 8:57
  I'm guessing probably, you know, second, third, fourth round.
• 9:00
  But the big citrus man, he had himself a game, Dominic Horne.
• 9:03
  So we shall see. South Dakota coming up.
• 9:06
  They get a pretty good lead into their game television wise,
• 9:10
  Texas, Ohio State, right into South Dakota versus Iowa State.
• 9:14
  So hopefully people will leave their TV's there.
• 9:16
  But there's so many games, there's so many options on that
• 9:19
  particular day. Anything else depth chart wise
• 9:22
  jump out to you. Burp being listed, the fact that
• 9:27
  Cooper is now listed as a starting corner.
• 9:30
  I don't think there are any more changes that I that I have seen
• 9:36
  Townsend still behind Eli. Oh, there is an or there was
• 9:39
  there an or there the first week?
• 9:41
  There may have been, but but no, I don't think so.
• 9:45
  I think it's basically, I think it's basically the same Cupler,
• 9:50
  Cupler. Evil now in the middle, with
• 9:52
  Brazina behind him and so. Brazina, is he OK?
• 9:55
  I think so. I mean, he's listed there, so
• 9:57
  you can anticipate and we'll see kind of what that's going to
• 9:59
  look like. But that's something that I
• 10:01
  think is going to be so interesting to track throughout
• 10:03
  the course of the season. What this looks like as it
• 10:05
  pertains to like I said, I was so shocked to see love it out
• 10:09
  there. And he was out there in the
• 10:10
  second quarter because I saw numbers zero.
• 10:11
  I'm like, of course, got the roster in front of me because
• 10:14
  that's what you got to do game one.
• 10:16
  And I'm like, did somebody change their number?
• 10:18
  Because I just didn't think with all the depth that they had,
• 10:23
  look, love it comes in from Missouri.
• 10:24
  There was a pretty big height for him.
• 10:26
  He isn't that level, but to go out there and get 15 snaps, that
• 10:30
  shows you the depth that they have and have a guy like that
• 10:31
  that you know has been able to help them out.
• 10:34
  Good special teams player and doing those kind of things.
• 10:37
  But you need those kind of guys. But you can't play 7 linebackers
• 10:40
  throughout the course of the season and if everybody's
• 10:42
  healthy. If everybody's healthy, I mean,
• 10:44
  they had to last year, they were forced to and it's, it's
• 10:47
  providing, you know, I mean, they, they, they had growing
• 10:50
  pains last year, but the fruit of those troubles certainly
• 10:54
  showing. Well, there's some massive news
• 10:56
  and I don't know if it's how to take it, but it's it's moving
• 11:00
  needles. I'm guaranteed this this story
• 11:02
  is about to break Twitter. Oh, really?
• 11:03
  It's about to break Twitter. The podcast broke Twitter.
• 11:07
  The engagement is going to break Twitter.
• 11:09
  They're engaged. It is.
• 11:11
  I don't even have to say their names.
• 11:13
  I know who you're talking. About the whole, the whole
• 11:15
  audience does. My phone's blowing up.
• 11:17
  But I don't know. I mean sure, I I don't like her
• 11:19
  a lot. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey
• 11:22
  are engaged. Announced it on Instagram.
• 11:24
  Wow. This isn't.
• 11:26
  You haven't been duped. Right.
• 11:27
  No, This is this is from Adam Schefter.
• 11:29
  This OK, This is from people. Yeah.
• 11:32
  This is legit. This is legit.
• 11:34
  It's like your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting
• 11:36
  married. That's pretty good.
• 11:38
  But anyways, so congratulations. Yes.
• 11:43
  Easy to root for. Yeah, it is.
• 11:44
  It is. That's kids having a great time.
• 11:47
  No, they really are. Good stuff.
• 11:48
  Hope they make it anyways. Hawkeye news today we're going
• 11:51
  to hear from some player. Well, we're not, but the media
• 11:53
  that's in Iowa City will hear from some players.
• 11:56
  Anybody you want to hear from? Is there anything that's
• 11:58
  lingering out there for you? A question that, you know, if
• 12:00
  you could make it over to Iowa City to ask Kirk Ferranson, I
• 12:02
  know you're going to be there on Friday.
• 12:04
  Yes, you're going to represent the Miller and Condon show.
• 12:06
  And then of course, Off the Bench is going to be there.
• 12:09
  Fryfest is happy to get. What year is that for this
• 12:11
  event? Well, it's been going on maybe
• 12:13
  15 years now. It's.
• 12:14
  Been a while, right? And I've never been able to make
• 12:17
  it just because of the way that my Fridays look.
• 12:19
  I've never been able to pull it off.
• 12:21
  High school football that night, high school football and just in
• 12:24
  the past when it started, different times and different
• 12:26
  shows. So just never was able to do it.
• 12:28
  I'm excited and I'm excited to get over there and kind of see
• 12:31
  all the the pomp and circumstance and my buddies that
• 12:33
  live in North Liberty, they go every year and, and talk about
• 12:36
  all the fun things that you do and going through different
• 12:39
  people that are Hawking different items and seeing
• 12:41
  different things, you know, so. That's what it's about.
• 12:42
  Well, there, there's part of that.
• 12:43
  It's just a celebration of, of all things, Hawkeye.
• 12:47
  So yeah, excited to get over there for the first time.
• 12:49
  Not going to be able to stay long because I got back and and
• 12:52
  a pretty big one for me in Week 1.
• 12:53
  Yeah. Valley Dolly.
• 12:54
  Yeah. So where are those two schools?
• 12:57
  I mean, did have you gone far as far as to do your preseason
• 12:59
  rankings? I and how accurate if you, if I
• 13:02
  was to put five people over high school sports in the state of
• 13:05
  Iowa, if I was to get all their rankings, would there be
• 13:09
  consensus or is this kind of one of these years where everybody's
• 13:12
  all over the map? I think in 5A, everybody that
• 13:15
  I've seen, and I've probably seen maybe 5 different rankings,
• 13:19
  yeah, including myself, yeah, has Dowling number. 1 Dowling,
• 13:22
  one How far behind is Valley? Top five OK, but they got some
• 13:27
  holes to fill now they got their quarterback back who was really
• 13:30
  good for them the last year and that's going to go a long ways
• 13:33
  it's offensive line for Valley. They lost a ton of front.
• 13:35
  Did they and early in the season do offensive line against
• 13:38
  Dowling? That could be pretty rough.
• 13:40
  I love. The fact that we normally see
• 13:42
  this game again, yes, you know, under the under the roof.
• 13:45
  We've seen that quite often. Dozens of times.
• 13:48
  Yeah, it's been great to have that Southeast poke is
• 13:50
  intriguing, of course. 3 state championships after that
• 13:53
  comeback win against Valley last year in the craziest.
• 13:56
  It was unbelievable. It truly was unbelievable.
• 13:59
  And I thank them because I got an award for the call of that
• 14:02
  game. Oh, I didn't know that this
• 14:03
  summer. Yeah.
• 14:04
  Got the radio broadcast Play by Play Call of the Year from the
• 14:08
  Broadcast Association. That's awesome.
• 14:10
  Yeah, it was. I didn't know.
• 14:11
  That that onside kick, that thing, you could kick that thing
• 14:15
  1000 times. I don't think it takes that
• 14:16
  bounce outside of them, but it did and it bounces off and
• 14:20
  Southeast Poke, they're down, they're getting clubbed in that
• 14:24
  game and come back to win that one.
• 14:25
  That's remarkable. They got a lot of new faces, but
• 14:28
  Selenovich, what he has built out there at Southeast Poke, he
• 14:30
  certainly can't sleep on them. I like both the Waukeseat and
• 14:33
  he. Started at Ankeny right with the
• 14:35
  Hawks when the school split. He took over the Hawks, he took
• 14:40
  over the Hawks as Pizzetti went N with Centennial.
• 14:43
  Like both Waukee teams, I think they're both going to be pretty
• 14:46
  solid this year. The Yankee schools, I don't have
• 14:48
  quite the same kind of feel yet. Now when do they play?
• 14:51
  Week 1 or Week 2? They're.
• 14:53
  I think it's like week 3 or 4. That's a little bit later, yeah,
• 14:57
  than it's been in the past. Because it started the year some
• 14:59
  some years, right? But you mean there wasn't a week
• 15:01
  1 a few? Years, yes.
• 15:02
  One team to keep an eye on. We obviously branched out now
• 15:06
  with our network, Sioux City EA Year ago, they had Valley in the
• 15:10
  ropes in the first round of the playoffs.
• 15:12
  They almost what they easily could have won that game against
• 15:15
  the team that must have been away from winning A state
• 15:17
  championship. They return a ton.
• 15:20
  And so far and away the best team in the Western.
• 15:22
  Half of the state, I mean the gap between them and everybody.
• 15:24
  Else so they'll be, if they're, if they don't get to the to the
• 15:28
  to the Dome, undefeated. You'd be surprised.
• 15:30
  Well, to the playoffs maybe, and I haven't taken a look at the at
• 15:34
  their pro because remember, teams play each other a lot more
• 15:37
  in the past. So it's not that they're only
• 15:38
  going to play teams from the West side of the state.
• 15:39
  But if you're looking for a sleeper, certainly look at them.
• 15:42
  Cedar Falls got a ton of talent. Again, PV from the east side of
• 15:45
  the state. Those would be a couple of the
• 15:46
  headliners that I'd be looking for.
• 15:48
  Good stuff, and you can't bet on this.
• 15:50
  No. And you used to be able to well,
• 15:52
  offshore, offshore. And you know what?
• 15:54
  That's that's too much. And then when I see that though,
• 15:57
  you know, taking this a step further and I don't think we
• 16:00
  discussed this, it was a couple of weeks, the story's a couple
• 16:02
  weeks old now that the Little League, I don't know, whatever
• 16:05
  their governing body is, the Little League association had to
• 16:08
  actually put out a statement that they are not in favor of
• 16:13
  betting on Little League. Of course not.
• 16:15
  The fact that they had to do that, who was offering that?
• 16:18
  Oh, I'm sure plenty of places. Like legitimate.
• 16:20
  Places I would. Think I might have an app on my
• 16:23
  phone from one of these places. I wouldn't be shocked.
• 16:26
  Are you kidding me that that? I know I've seen it before.
• 16:29
  I know, I've seen it. Before on Little League.
• 16:31
  Yes. Enough's enough.
• 16:33
  We got enough to bet on, don't we?
• 16:34
  Don't we have to draw the line being?
• 16:36
  Serious. Yeah, yeah.
• 16:37
  I mean, Little League is even taking it too, way too far.
• 16:40
  I mean, it's one thing like I do a pool with my buddies for high
• 16:44
  school, but that's just a pool with five friends, right?
• 16:46
  That's not having DraftKings. Come up with a number.
• 16:50
  Having FanDuel say, you know what, I got dialing -7 1/2, no,
• 16:54
  no. That isn't too long.
• 16:55
  They're up to 10 now. Come on.
• 16:57
  That's that's crazy. Yeah.
• 16:59
  There needs to be a line, and that's good.
• 17:01
  Well, we cannot bet on minor league sports.
• 17:03
  We cannot bet on the Iowa Cubs. And some places you can, I
• 17:07
  believe you can. And maybe it's it's outside our
• 17:10
  borders, OK. But I think you can bet on minor
• 17:12
  league games somewhere. That's interesting.
• 17:14
  Yeah, I know That was one of the rules I remember.
• 17:16
  Was it 7 years ago now? Six years ago, Six years ago,
• 17:19
  2019. Yeah, six years ago.
• 17:22
  I remember that was one of the. Things about this time when we
• 17:24
  were in Prairie Meadows. Wasn't it August like the maybe
• 17:26
  the 15th? Something like that.
• 17:28
  I think we just passed the anniversary.
• 17:29
  I think we did. What a great time.
• 17:31
  Oh, you got your you. Did you make the first bet.
• 17:35
  The politicians went the dignitaries.
• 17:38
  Yes, there was a Republican leader and a Democrat.
• 17:40
  Like the two because the two sides.
• 17:42
  Were made a bet and bizzignano. The guy that had the Yankee
• 17:46
  jersey. On the Yankee, I think it might
• 17:47
  have been. I think it was a outside of from
• 17:49
  from maybe the supervisors. We're all sitting around.
• 17:52
  They do, you know, ribbon cutting for the sports book.
• 17:55
  Joe Asher and Gary Palmer and Kirk Rasmussen were there and
• 18:00
  and then they got through that. Yep, those two guys made-up
• 18:03
  their first bets. Yep.
• 18:05
  And then everyone's standing around.
• 18:06
  I'm like, well, I'm going to go make a pet thing.
• 18:08
  So outside of the dignitaries, I made the. 1st.
• 18:11
  Legal bet Joe Blow in the state of Iowa.
• 18:14
  You know, that's fitting. And I still got the ticket.
• 18:16
  Yeah, that's. Fit you do we didn't cash.
• 18:18
  No, I just, I threw 10 bucks on the Bears to win the Super Bowl.
• 18:21
  Yeah, that was that was never going.
• 18:22
  To catch. But you know what you that's
• 18:24
  fitting. You made the first bet.
• 18:26
  I need to make something with that ticket.
• 18:27
  I need to put that up in the man cave or something like that.
• 18:29
  I need to frame that. Because you've your pictures
• 18:32
  with it. Yes, absolutely.
• 18:33
  You're wearing your Expos hat. It's still my Twitter profile
• 18:36
  picture. Yep, that's me holding.
• 18:37
  The ticket in it? Yep, that's awesome.
• 18:39
  All right, I'll take a time out. Come back.
• 18:41
  We will talk Big 12 with our friend Matt Poston's Heartland
• 18:45
  College Sports. Do a little previewing on there.
• 18:48
  We got John Bowen Camp to kick off the second hour of the show.
• 18:52
  That has to do with I was meeting the the football team is
• 18:55
  meeting the media now. And before we get to Kirk
• 18:59
  Ference, we'll get to John Bowen Camp before the media gets to
• 19:02
  John Kirk Ference and then we will make some picks on the NFL.
• 19:06
  Miller and Condon underway. It's a Tuesday on the Iowa
• 19:08
  Sports Radio Network. Hi, Miller and Condon, welcome
• 19:11
  back wherever you're listening in the state of Iowa.
• 19:13
  Grateful that you are. I'm Mitch Holtis, the voice of
• 19:16
  the Kansas City Chiefs. Guessing the tenor of our
• 19:18
  conversation may have changed a tad.
• 19:20
  Just a little. But we'll talk to Mitch here
• 19:23
  coming up in about 15 or 20 minutes, probably closer to 20
• 19:26
  minutes right now. Matt Postons, Heartland College
• 19:28
  Sports where he they cover the Big 12 and do an unbelievable
• 19:32
  job in doing so. And he joins us.
• 19:34
  Hello, how are you Matt Postons? I'm good.
• 19:38
  So you guys want to talk about Taylor and Travis's engagement
• 19:41
  or every Major League Baseball schedule that just dropped like
• 19:43
  15 minutes ago? Yeah, they all did.
• 19:45
  They all come out today. I saw a couple of them.
• 19:47
  All, just every single one of them just dropped like 15
• 19:49
  minutes ago. So if you want to plan your 2026
• 19:52
  out for baseball, now is the time to start.
• 19:53
  Perfect time. Absolutely.
• 19:55
  Let's let's before we get into the weekend slate ahead, let's
• 19:58
  go back to the the weekend Farmageddon.
• 20:01
  A series that's unfortunately sounds as though it's not going
• 20:04
  to be played in unison after 2027.
• 20:08
  I'm sure it will return at some point.
• 20:10
  I guess I didn't realize Alec Bussey, our colleague and race
• 20:12
  to 24/7 as well. They've been playing this since
• 20:15
  1917. The way he laid it out, I mean,
• 20:17
  it survived World War One, they played it, World War 2, they
• 20:20
  played it. COVID they played it and this is
• 20:23
  going to take it off the calendar 117 years straight of
• 20:27
  playing this game and it's all going to end.
• 20:28
  It doesn't have to Matt Poston's.
• 20:31
  No, it doesn't have to happen. And all you need to do is look
• 20:34
  up at the SEC did last week for a template.
• 20:37
  I mean, they, they finally moved to a nine game schedule.
• 20:39
  They're going to have three protected games for each team
• 20:42
  and then rotate, you know, six games, you know, each of the
• 20:45
  next two years. That way, everybody plays
• 20:47
  everybody at least once every two years.
• 20:50
  I mean, there's an easy way to do this.
• 20:51
  You put Kansas State, Kansas and Iowa State, the same pub with
• 20:54
  either Oklahoma State or somebody else, and you just tear
• 20:57
  up what you did for 2027. I don't think anybody in Kansas
• 21:00
  State or Iowa State's going to argue about that.
• 21:02
  And frankly, I think if you pot it geographically, I don't think
• 21:06
  anybody and the conference is going to whine about it.
• 21:09
  So it's it stinks. I mean, I realize you can't
• 21:12
  protect every rivalry, but when you're not protecting like a
• 21:16
  game between West Virginia and Cincinnati and you're not
• 21:19
  protecting a game, you know, like a, you know, like Tech and
• 21:22
  and Houston could be a really good rivalry.
• 21:25
  I don't really understand why we're only protecting four games
• 21:28
  in this conference. It doesn't make a whole lot of
• 21:30
  sense, and hopefully maybe the powers of B come to their senses
• 21:33
  a little bit more. Well, it's overreaction.
• 21:35
  That's what we do after the first game so over, give us a
• 21:38
  top line take away for both the Cyclones and the Wildcats as we
• 21:42
  go through course over the next 11 games for each of these
• 21:44
  teams. I don't like to overreact too
• 21:47
  much because, you know, honestly, you know, games like
• 21:51
  this, especially when you play a conference game, the first game
• 21:53
  of the of the season, it just kind of stinks because nobody's
• 21:56
  had the chance to work anything out in terms of, you know,
• 22:00
  rotations and things like that. I thought Iowa State did come
• 22:04
  out, you know, and played a relatively clean game and I
• 22:07
  think they showed that they've added some wrinkles to their
• 22:09
  offense that are going to be hard to deal with.
• 22:12
  I think they showed me enough to make me feel comfortable with
• 22:16
  the the potential progress of the wide receivers that have to
• 22:19
  replace Noel and Higgins this year.
• 22:22
  I think they've got enough talent there, but I think
• 22:24
  they're going to be the same team they've always been.
• 22:26
  They're going to run the ball well.
• 22:28
  They're going to be methodical. They're going to keep a good
• 22:30
  pace offensively. But I think I think there's
• 22:33
  potential there for their for them to be as explosive as they
• 22:36
  were a year ago as in the passing game.
• 22:39
  I just think it's going to take some time for that to to move
• 22:41
  along. And I overall, I like how Kansas
• 22:45
  State played that game. I really do.
• 22:46
  It's just they made too many mistakes.
• 22:48
  That's really what it boils down to.
• 22:50
  You cannot make the kinds of mistakes you make in a game like
• 22:53
  that in conference and expect to win.
• 22:55
  If they clean that up, they still have every opportunity to
• 22:57
  be a contender in this conference.
• 22:59
  The problem is now is they already have a conference loss
• 23:02
  going into September. So they had don't have nearly as
• 23:05
  much room to maneuver as Iowa State does.
• 23:07
  We kind of talked about this last month that this was whoever
• 23:10
  loses this game is going to have a harder road to get into the
• 23:13
  Big 12 title game than the other one because they're just not
• 23:15
  going to have as much room to maneuver.
• 23:17
  Both teams that got in last year had two losses.
• 23:20
  You know, that really puts Kansas State behind the 8 ball
• 23:22
  in that situation. Yeah, no doubt about it.
• 23:24
  Well, it's pretty. There's a couple of really big
• 23:27
  games. I'll throw Cincinnati, Nebraska
• 23:30
  on the slate. Obviously we've got the Baylor
• 23:33
  and Auburn, GA Tech, Colorado. That's a national spotlight game
• 23:37
  as well. And then we Fast forward to to
• 23:40
  Monday night. It doesn't get much bigger than
• 23:41
  the only game, TCU and North Carolina's.
• 23:45
  So it's good to see the Big 12 kind of stepping out a little
• 23:48
  bit. Even UCLA and Utah has got some
• 23:50
  cache to it. Your thoughts on week one of the
• 23:53
  Big 12? Yeah, it's a good slate.
• 23:55
  It really is. And you know, this is part and
• 23:58
  parcel of the college football. I try to stack the schedule, you
• 24:01
  know, zero week and week one with as many big games as they
• 24:03
  can get. In most cases those are non
• 24:06
  conference games, unlike last weekend in Dublin.
• 24:09
  But I really think for for Baylor, I really think this is a
• 24:14
  big game because, you know, they're they're banking on
• 24:18
  having a revamped defense under Dave Aranda in the second year.
• 24:22
  We've been talking about the offensive tools they have all
• 24:25
  offseason. The fact that this is a team
• 24:27
  where, you know, if things can go right, they have a really
• 24:30
  legitimate chance to contend. The Auburn's not a a great SEC
• 24:34
  team by any stretch, but they're good enough to have a really
• 24:39
  competitive gamer Baylor. And to me, this is a game that
• 24:42
  Baylor needs to win for two reasons.
• 24:44
  One, obviously if you're trying to contend for the college
• 24:46
  football player, winning these types of games helps your
• 24:48
  resume. But two, more importantly, I
• 24:50
  think they need to show themselves that they can compete
• 24:53
  with anybody. You know, that they can they can
• 24:56
  compete with a like talented team in the SEC, which means
• 25:00
  they should be able to compete with anybody in the Big 12.
• 25:02
  So to me, that's the biggest game in the slate.
• 25:04
  It's kind of a prove it game for Baylor to show me that what I've
• 25:07
  been thinking of them the whole offseason that they're they're
• 25:10
  the kind of team that can be a contender.
• 25:12
  This is a game that can help prove that to me and to them and
• 25:15
  to everybody else. I could agree more.
• 25:16
  I think they can win as well, but I'll see.
• 25:18
  You know, we can mention the game, Cincinnati and Nebraska
• 25:22
  around these parts. Cornhusker fans think they're
• 25:24
  going to win. They always think they're going
• 25:25
  to win. Do you give the Bearcats so a
• 25:27
  fighters chance there? I mean, what's it going to take
• 25:29
  here to to win this game? We know it's going to be a
• 25:31
  decided Cornhusker crowd down there in Arrowhead, but what's
• 25:35
  it take for Cincy to pull off this upset?
• 25:38
  Number one, no turnovers. They they can't make mistakes.
• 25:40
  I mean, Nebraska's by no means a a great Big 10 team, but they're
• 25:45
  good enough to handle Cincinnati if Cincinnati comes out and
• 25:48
  makes a couple of key turnovers early in that game.
• 25:50
  So they've really got to play clean football.
• 25:52
  I think just as importantly, offensively, they're going to
• 25:56
  have to get a really good game out of their quarterback.
• 25:59
  This feels like kind of game where Cincinnati can make two or
• 26:02
  three really big players in the offensive side of the ball as
• 26:04
  opposed to be methodical and eating up time.
• 26:08
  I think that helps them more because it puts Nebraska on
• 26:10
  their heels. I think that rule finally has
• 26:13
  that program in a place where there are higher expectations
• 26:16
  than they've been used to the past few years that can lead
• 26:20
  A-Team to come out kind of flat in the game like this.
• 26:22
  Because you look at last year's record, Cincinnati, it wasn't
• 26:25
  above 500. So you kind of feel like they're
• 26:27
  an average team. But I think if Cincinnati comes
• 26:29
  out plays clean football, it's a couple of big plays early, I
• 26:32
  think that can that can flip the game in their direction.
• 26:35
  And it's, you know, Scott Satterfield hyped this game up.
• 26:38
  He thinks it's a big game for that because it's an opportunity
• 26:40
  for them to make a statement and a national game on ESPN Thursday
• 26:44
  night. You know, all the other Big 12
• 26:46
  games are on the plus. So they've got the stage and
• 26:48
  this is an opportunity for them to show the country that, you
• 26:51
  know, maybe they're not going to be the under 500 Cincinnati
• 26:54
  they've been the last two years. I want to go back to Friday and
• 26:57
  you may we talked about the Auburn Baylor game, Georgia
• 27:00
  Tech, Colorado, a lot of Georgia Tech love as maybe an ACC
• 27:04
  sleeper team. I don't think Matt that in our
• 27:07
  multiple conversations in the in the weeks months leading up to
• 27:10
  this weekend, we've really focused a ton on Colorado.
• 27:13
  If I'm repeating myself, I apologize, just give me your
• 27:16
  take. What have you gleaned from
• 27:17
  Colorado in the month of August that's either changed your
• 27:20
  opinion, backed up your opinion? Where are you on the Buffs?
• 27:25
  I'm not sure where I'm at on the buffs because I'm not sure who
• 27:28
  they're. I'm not sure who their
• 27:30
  quarterback is yet. I mean, theoretically it should
• 27:33
  be the kid from Liberty that transferred in, but they haven't
• 27:35
  named a starter yet and they've given Julian Lewis every
• 27:38
  opportunity to get as many reps as possible.
• 27:41
  That's the freshman. And that's the freshman.
• 27:43
  That's the freshman, Keaton. Keaton Salter is a kid from
• 27:46
  Liberty who has a ton of experience.
• 27:48
  LED them to the Fiesta Bowl two years ago, transferred dead.
• 27:51
  You know, I theoretically thought, you know, there's no,
• 27:53
  there's no issue. This guy is going to be the
• 27:54
  starter. But, you know, I haven't seen
• 27:56
  Colorado name a starter yet. And that's that's kind of
• 28:00
  curious to me because Georgia Tech's an experienced team.
• 28:03
  Remember, they played in Dublin last year and they hit it.
• 28:06
  They hit it forward a state their butt in the game that
• 28:09
  we're, you know, basically destroyed for court and state
• 28:11
  seasons the rest of the way. But Georgia Tech can play on the
• 28:14
  road. They got a really a quarterback
• 28:16
  in Haines King. They're talented.
• 28:18
  They're not going to go in and be intimidated by Colorado in
• 28:22
  any way. This to me feels like a game
• 28:23
  where you've got to start your veteran Keaton falter.
• 28:25
  But until I see how that is, I'm going to shake out.
• 28:29
  It's hard for me to, you know, really get a good feel for them.
• 28:33
  I I like their offensive line. I think they've done a much
• 28:35
  better job of cultivating both an offensive line and a
• 28:38
  defensive line the last couple of years.
• 28:39
  So I think they're better shape. They're obviously it's the
• 28:42
  quarterback play. It's who's going to replace
• 28:44
  Travis Hunter and Jimmy Hornet wide receiver, along with how
• 28:48
  they're going to work quarterback situation without
• 28:50
  Travis Hunter that is going to determine whether they're
• 28:52
  successful successful this season.
• 28:56
  You know, for I don't think it's a prove it year for neon in
• 28:58
  terms of, oh, I've got to prove to everybody that I can coach
• 29:00
  without my kids. I think it's about
• 29:02
  sustainability now. You know, they they need to go
• 29:05
  to a bowl game, they need to win 789 games, show they can turn
• 29:09
  over talent. You know, is that at their key
• 29:11
  positions and and significant talent at that show that they
• 29:15
  can be sustainable for the long term.
• 29:17
  So we touched on the Avery Johnson family dynamic.
• 29:21
  It's weird. It's an odd story.
• 29:25
  You, you just don't see that very often.
• 29:26
  But does it lead to more questions than just kind of
• 29:29
  surface? It's just that it's a weird
• 29:31
  story and and it doesn't mean anything.
• 29:32
  Or do you read into it more about Avery Johnson, his
• 29:36
  inconsistency? You know what?
• 29:37
  Is there something going on? Family dynamics?
• 29:39
  I I don't know, is there more to the story than just dad and a
• 29:42
  son getting in a fight? I hope it.
• 29:45
  I hope it is just that. Just dad and son getting into a
• 29:49
  fight has nothing to do with Avery.
• 29:51
  It just the whole thing just seems weird.
• 29:53
  When I first saw it after the game I was like, this is wrong,
• 29:56
  right? Like, you know, Avery Johnson
• 29:58
  got into a fight with a fan or something like that hating, you
• 30:00
  know, fight with his kid and then we're like oh he did.
• 30:03
  And I'm like that makes no sense.
• 30:05
  I mean, I'm hoping that it's compartmentalized from Avery
• 30:09
  because 1, Avery as a player doesn't need that and two, as a
• 30:15
  person, Avery definitely doesn't need that because that's his
• 30:17
  family. And, you know, families fight,
• 30:19
  you know, I'm, you know, I know families that have had fights
• 30:22
  happen like that, you know, from time to time.
• 30:25
  Usually it's nothing more than just a disagreement over a
• 30:28
  certain thing. But it is weird.
• 30:31
  I'm hoping it's just like a weird thing that happened to
• 30:33
  Dublin, you know, just kind of a self-contained there.
• 30:36
  And it doesn't have any spillover into what Avery does
• 30:38
  the rest of each year because, you know, I still feel like
• 30:41
  Avery can be one of the best quarterbacks in the conference.
• 30:44
  And certainly I think he showed that he that he I saw some
• 30:48
  things that he he did better from last year to this year.
• 30:51
  It's just overall the team that didn't play the way they need
• 30:54
  to. But yeah, it's a weird story.
• 30:56
  I can't remember the last time a dad and his son got into a fight
• 30:58
  after a football game. It's just weird you.
• 31:01
  Know in Ireland, yeah, when the whole country's focusing in on
• 31:05
  just women's bananas. Sad, quite frankly.
• 31:07
  Matt Poston's great job as always, Matt, thank you for
• 31:10
  doing this. We'll talk to you in the weeks
• 31:11
  ahead. Appreciate the relationship,
• 31:13
  Matt. Thank you very much.
• 31:15
  Thanks guys. Appreciate it.
• 31:16
  Yeah, good to talk to you, Matt Poston's Heartland College
• 31:18
  Sports. As we check in on the Big 12,
• 31:23
  it's going to be a hell of a race.
• 31:24
  Yes, it is. It's going.
• 31:25
  To be a hell of a race. Did you bet anybody to win the
• 31:28
  conference? Iowa State, two different times.
• 31:30
  I got them at 13 to 1 when we were in Vegas and then they were
• 31:32
  at 16 to one last week, so I grabbed a little bit more.
• 31:35
  Pre pre farmageddon you bet them yes.
• 31:38
  Now currently at Circus Sports to win the Big 12, Iowa State
• 31:42
  has gone from 16 to one last week.
• 31:44
  To 8. Plus 750.
• 31:47
  Where Where was K state before the game?
• 31:49
  Do you remember? Around 5:00 to 1:00-ish.
• 31:51
  So they were, yeah, taking a lot of play.
• 31:53
  Now you can get 8 to 1 on the Wildcats if you think they're
• 31:56
  going to bounce back. Who is I?
• 31:59
  I bet Utah and I bet Texas Tech. Not by themselves.
• 32:02
  I combined them with other things.
• 32:03
  Utah's 5 to 1 Texas Tech plus 525 currently.
• 32:07
  A lot of love for Texas Tech, That's sketch.
• 32:09
  Every one of their tough games is on the road.
• 32:11
  That's happy at Utah. Well, when we get a seven way
• 32:13
  tie at six and three, you get to figure out the tiebreakers
• 32:15
  really. At K State and and there are
• 32:18
  other tough one is on the road as well.
• 32:20
  All right, we'll take time out. Mitch Holtis will join us next.
• 32:22
  The voice of the Kansas City Chiefs.
• 32:25
  Miller and Condon talking sports with you on the Iowa Sports
• 32:28
  Radio Network. I'm Millery Condon.
• 32:33
  Welcome back. Iowa Sports Radio Network.
• 32:36
  Trent Condon, Ken Miller with you until 2:00.
• 32:39
  Mitch Holt is Papa John's unbelievable special.
• 32:42
  We'll get to that in just a second or two.
• 32:45
  Mitch Holt is joins us. He'll join us every day this
• 32:48
  week with the exception of Friday.
• 32:49
  And then next week, be on tape as the team travels well far
• 32:53
  away to take on the charge. Anything going on in the Kingdom
• 32:56
  here this morning, Mitch? Any, any news?
• 32:58
  Nothing going on, no, just a boring day.
• 33:01
  Honestly, this is probably one of my two or three least
• 33:04
  favorite days of the year, just because you don't get
• 33:08
  desensitized to the cuts and guys will try to get in it.
• 33:12
  But it's the three of us being told we're done, right?
• 33:16
  And you're thinking now what and where do I go and what do I do?
• 33:19
  And some of the guys will come back on practice squad, some
• 33:23
  will land on other teams, but many will be just cut into
• 33:26
  cyberspace and try to figure out what's next either in their life
• 33:29
  or as a player. So this is a this is a difficult
• 33:32
  day and we got to be at 53 players by 3:00 this afternoon.
• 33:37
  And that goes to the hands of what I call a wizard.
• 33:41
  Brett Beach. I don't know how he does it with
• 33:42
  salary cap. He knows math better than I do.
• 33:44
  Brett Beach in the spotlight here the next couple of days.
• 33:47
  And it's tough for you, Mitch. You get to know these guys.
• 33:49
  It's tough on the coaches and certainly got to be tough on the
• 33:52
  GM. It's very tough on him.
• 33:55
  Now, the secret to the chief success and there's many
• 33:58
  reasons. And Ken, I'll give you credit
• 34:01
  here with the with the Broncos, because one of the big things
• 34:03
  they have going now you have to have the three things aligned,
• 34:07
  meaning ownership, your GM and the his staff, his or her staff
• 34:12
  and then the head coach. You've got to be aligned and
• 34:15
  you're thinking, well, that's the way it ought to be.
• 34:17
  It's rare when you get it in any professional sport.
• 34:20
  The Chief, the Chiefs have been the epitome of it, where you've
• 34:23
  got owner, GM and and coach and stabs of those three working
• 34:28
  completely in concert. When I asked Brett Reach about
• 34:31
  it, he realizes it may be the biggest reason to winning 12
• 34:36
  consecutive years. Big key to our success it's,
• 34:39
  it's integrating these players from where they were at in
• 34:43
  college to our system and to our culture.
• 34:45
  And they're probably a lot of good players throughout the
• 34:47
  league that, you know, maybe they wouldn't be a great fit
• 34:50
  here. And you know, there's also
• 34:52
  probably a lot of players out there that haven't hit their
• 34:54
  potential elsewhere, but can hit it here and trying to align that
• 34:58
  that vision with with the prospect.
• 35:00
  And that's where I really think the the continuity has really
• 35:03
  paved the way for our success and coach and I have been
• 35:06
  together since, you know, the early mid 2000.
• 35:11
  So think about this, Derek Nadi goes to The Jets, doesn't work
• 35:14
  out. We resigned him.
• 35:15
  It's one of the biggest. I told you guys last week or
• 35:18
  maybe even yesterday that the boy that I worried about was the
• 35:21
  5th defensive lineman DB's. Another one that hasn't been
• 35:24
  resolved yet, but Nicole Hardman gets cut by the Packers.
• 35:27
  Well, he was great here. I mean, he won a Super Bowl.
• 35:31
  So. But when you get the flow, this
• 35:34
  is like a university where the president, the AD and the coach
• 35:37
  of that respective sport are all flowing in the same direction.
• 35:41
  And the three of us know that's not normally the case.
• 35:45
  And it's really rare when you get it at the professional
• 35:47
  level. Egos, money, a lot of things get
• 35:51
  in in the way. And I will tell you with Elway's
• 35:53
  GM there was it wasn't going to happen.
• 35:57
  You know that you hired Nate Hackett.
• 35:59
  You get guys that are coaches that are going to be below him.
• 36:02
  The coach has got to work in concert or, you know, even be a
• 36:05
  little bit above. And that's what the Chiefs have
• 36:07
  because Andy Reid and there's no surprises.
• 36:10
  Andy Reid works year long, day by day with Brett Beach, arm in
• 36:14
  arm, and that's what it takes to win.
• 36:16
  Is there someone under an underling, an understudy?
• 36:21
  Who's Brent Beach, other than Andy Reid?
• 36:23
  Who does he turn to? Because, you know, as he's
• 36:26
  getting ready to go through and make the changes on their roster
• 36:28
  and break some hearts, somebody's got to be scouring
• 36:31
  other rosters to see likewise, maybe they can bring them in to
• 36:35
  help the Chiefs out. Who does Beach work with?
• 36:37
  Who does he trust? Oh man, we have a labyrinth.
• 36:40
  If I showed you that org chart, there's a lot of folks, gals and
• 36:44
  guys, and they're super sharp. I love it.
• 36:46
  Now we've been poached. Ryan Polls is GM of the Bears,
• 36:50
  he was with us. Brant Tillis is now with the
• 36:54
  Panthers, he was with us. Mike Borghansi, he's now with
• 36:57
  the Titans, he was with us. But there's a core.
• 37:00
  Mike Bradway is outstanding, his dead Terry, long time front
• 37:04
  office guy, but I could list a bunch of names up and down the
• 37:08
  Pike. Another guy that no, people
• 37:09
  don't talk about. If they went out to start a
• 37:11
  podcast defending the Kingdom, it'd be back in the spring a guy
• 37:14
  named Chris Shea, who is absolutely a guru.
• 37:18
  He's a cap guru. He's probably the leading guy in
• 37:22
  the league as far as manipulating, helping roster
• 37:26
  cap, how you get it, get it all to fit.
• 37:28
  And you got to do it with the superstar quarterback and the
• 37:31
  money that that commands in the cap.
• 37:33
  So we have all that going for us in it's just it's understated in
• 37:39
  the fact that you've got to have that.
• 37:41
  The Lions totally changed the way they're doing business
• 37:44
  because they got finally alignment between ownership, GM
• 37:48
  and coach working in concert day-to-day.
• 37:51
  The Broncos have it now with with Sean Payton and he's got
• 37:55
  AGM. That patent guy is they're
• 37:58
  working in concert with the ownership and it's the ownership
• 38:00
  is not screwed up. So you have to have all that
• 38:03
  people. You can hate the Chiefs, but
• 38:05
  they might want to the Chiefs because even if you're an MLB
• 38:09
  team or an NBA team, the Chiefs become a prototype on how to do
• 38:13
  this. All right, well, just 30
• 38:15
  seconds, but we can't ask go get the day let go by without asking
• 38:18
  about the engagement today. What can you tell us, Taylor
• 38:20
  Swift and Travis Kelce? Oh boy, I mean that's why the
• 38:25
  pizza special is 2 large one topping pizzas at 999.
• 38:31
  Taylor can have one and Travis can have.
• 38:33
  One so Donaldson new. The only one that knew, but I
• 38:38
  don't know if we found him yet. He knew, but did he have to go
• 38:42
  away somewhere? Matt and Tom are out there, but
• 38:44
  if your friends are mad or Tom, you might want to try to find
• 38:46
  him. They might be in the Des Moines
• 38:48
  River swimming upstream. They were first to know what a
• 38:51
  special, good, good what? About that.
• 38:53
  How about that day? Yeah, yeah.
• 38:56
  Mitch, we'll talk to you tomorrow, brother.
• 38:57
  See you pal. OK.
• 38:58
  Thank you. Yeah, good to talk to Mitch
• 39:00
  Holtis, Radio Voice. Kansas City Chiefs does a really
• 39:03
  good job too for them. It does very popular.
• 39:05
  You know that he was the one that came up with Chief's
• 39:08
  Kingdom, that that term originated with him.
• 39:12
  Did did he 'cause I think when we first started, I called him
• 39:16
  Chief's Nation once when we first had him on back in the
• 39:19
  final. I never started and I think I
• 39:21
  found out. Ben.
• 39:22
  Yeah, I think he said he corrected me and I think that
• 39:25
  you then followed up saying it was Mitch the if memory serves,
• 39:30
  but good for him. I hope he trademarked this.
• 39:32
  Absolutely. Think of the T-shirts and the
• 39:34
  money that he's got coming. In from that one.
• 39:36
  Yeah, No kidding. Good stuff.
• 39:39
  All right, our number two, we will get into Hawkeyes with John
• 39:43
  Bowencamp. Players have met with the media.
• 39:45
  That's over in Dunwhistle. John will take some time to chat
• 39:48
  with Trent and I in advance of hearing from Kirk Ference.
• 39:51
  He'll come up at 145 S Bowencamp will have to be a part of that.
• 39:55
  And then we will go on record. Trent and I will.
• 39:57
  As far as our NFL, how do we see the NFL season?
• 40:00
  Who's going to win the divisions, qualify for the
• 40:02
  playoffs, ultimately win a Super Bowl?
• 40:04
  Hour 2, Miller and Condon, that's next.
• 40:06
  Thanks for being with us on the Iowa Sports Radio Network.
