Trent's Back from Vacation, Iowa State schedule thoughts, Scott Dochterman talks College Football rivalries · The Lunch Rush with Trent Condon

• 0:06
  All right. Good afternoon.
• 0:07
  Welcome, Miller and Condon. On a Monday, it's the Eye with
• 0:11
  Sports Radio Network. It kicks back into gear for the
• 0:14
  next 6 hours. Thanks for starting your
• 0:16
  afternoon with myself and Trent Condon.
• 0:19
  Back with me as we'll talk sports with you for the next
• 0:22
  couple of hours. Here's what's coming up on our
• 0:24
  program. We'll start with Scott
• 0:26
  Dockerman. Trent, I forgot to send you the
• 0:27
  guest list by apologies. Scott Dockerman.
• 0:30
  We'll kick things off from The Athletic.
• 0:32
  He debuted his top 100 college football rivalries and as one
• 0:37
  would expect, there's a little pushback from different parts of
• 0:41
  the country, so we'll talk to Scott Dockerman on that and
• 0:44
  other college football related topics when he joins us at
• 0:47
  12:30. One O clock, Matt Snyder,
• 0:50
  CBSSports.com, where he covers Major League Baseball All Star
• 0:54
  teams announced starters were announced.
• 0:56
  The extras were added yesterday, so we'll talk to Matt Snyder
• 1:00
  about that and about obviously between the with baseball taking
• 1:05
  front and center stage here at 1:00.
• 1:07
  And then, well, Bill Seals is going to join us as he makes his
• 1:13
  way to Dallas. cyclonereport.com part of on three media.
• 1:17
  Bill Seals coming up at 1:30. He's off the Big 12 Media days.
• 1:22
  It's a wonderful time of the year.
• 1:23
  Media days have started a new era here at KX.
• 1:27
  And why didn't we get a snappy name, by the way, right Miller
• 1:30
  and Condon off the bench first quarter, Right, Miller and
• 1:37
  Condon. Oh well, we're just glad to be
• 1:40
  here. We're not real deep thinkers.
• 1:42
  We're not, but noon to 2 is where he'd be able to listen to
• 1:45
  us. But you know, I mean, the, the
• 1:48
  station got better. Alec Bussey, I think, is going
• 1:49
  to be really good at what he does.
• 1:51
  But it's a blow to the our show trend.
• 1:53
  It's a blow to our. Selfishly.
• 1:55
  Selfishly, yes, you know, whenever when I heard a couple
• 1:58
  of weeks ago that he is the leading candidate in the of the
• 2:02
  list of people that were, you know, potentially going to take
• 2:05
  that spot with Heather in the mornings, I think he'd.
• 2:08
  Be great. I really do.
• 2:09
  But for whatever reason, there's just not a lot of guys that
• 2:12
  cover Iowa State. I don't understand.
• 2:14
  I mean, we literally could a dozen Iowa guys.
• 2:18
  Oh. Absolutely. 15.
• 2:19
  Yeah, probably. 2. Yeah.
• 2:24
  Two. Yeah.
• 2:25
  The availability list is not real.
• 2:26
  Right, right. Well, there's, you know, there
• 2:28
  are a couple other guys that carry it, but the cover we we
• 2:30
  can't have them on or they don't want to come on and
• 2:33
  understandably so competing entities.
• 2:36
  So anyways, Bussy goes to mornings.
• 2:39
  He's still covering Iowa State, but he's going to be a terrific,
• 2:42
  terrific addition to the morning show, which is 6 to 9.
• 2:45
  And then Dan Patrick, you don't lose any of Patrick.
• 2:48
  You just get to him a little bit later.
• 2:49
  He's on from 9:00 until noon. Not like when we started.
• 2:53
  Oh God, that was awful. What, did we upset some people?
• 2:56
  Yeah, it wasn't our call either. It wasn't.
• 2:58
  We're just glad to be here. Absolutely.
• 3:00
  We. We.
• 3:00
  We. Agreed to once a week one of us
• 3:02
  would come in and vacuum on Sunday nights for the first.
• 3:04
  Few months I still do. Oh, you do.
• 3:06
  Yeah, yeah, I didn't realize. Well, I shouldn't have said
• 3:08
  anything. They let me go on that.
• 3:10
  But anyways, 9:00 to noon for Dan Patrick Miller and Condon
• 3:14
  and then off the bench with Sean and Lucas.
• 3:17
  They will take you until 5 overtime.
• 3:18
  Iowa remains 5 until 6. So before we get into sports,
• 3:22
  you were gone all last. Week I was.
• 3:24
  You went on a cruise with the family.
• 3:26
  Would you do it again? Absolutely.
• 3:28
  You had fun. It it was it was tremendous.
• 3:31
  It was a better experience than even I could have anticipated.
• 3:34
  Did you get sick? I did not.
• 3:36
  The kids? No.
• 3:37
  Tara, No. Anybody in your party?
• 3:39
  No. We were all good at that.
• 3:41
  Did you take drama? What's it called?
• 3:43
  Dramamine. I did on one of our little
• 3:45
  cruises, a boat that we were taking, I think when we were off
• 3:47
  to Puerto Rico on one of the excursion stops that we made.
• 3:49
  I think I did, just getting on that smaller boat, but that was
• 3:52
  the only time and I felt I'm fine.
• 3:54
  Never. How many steps onto the island
• 3:56
  of Puerto Rico did you make before someone asked you if you
• 3:58
  wanted to buy weed? I did not get that in one port.
• 4:02
  And then I. Now I have a different look.
• 4:04
  Maybe it's. Well, this is. 19 for me it was
• 4:08
  19. I went with my son's mom, OK and
• 4:11
  I couldn't stand or not a blast. But your eyes were your eyes
• 4:17
  maybe are a little more open to that where I'm oblivious to
• 4:21
  those. Kinds of things, yeah.
• 4:21
  No, I don't I. Mean, I guess like even in
• 4:23
  Vegas, I mean, I've been going to Vegas now for over 20 years
• 4:27
  and maybe I just don't have that look.
• 4:30
  Maybe I just or people could just sense it on me now that's
• 4:34
  not what this guy's looking for. He's looking for a beer.
• 4:35
  He's looking for a drink. He's looking for a cocktail, but
• 4:38
  he's not looking for that because.
• 4:40
  Man, we couldn't turn a corner. Now I also had the kids with
• 4:42
  him. But that you know what?
• 4:43
  Maybe that had when? He got a 10 to 5 year old and
• 4:47
  maybe that's a kind of a slippery slope that people don't
• 4:49
  want to go down and. My son still got friends here I
• 4:52
  shouldn't have said that and him and his mom get along.
• 4:55
  My ex-wife will get along great now, but anyways.
• 4:59
  But it was true. So, so you had fun, you're back,
• 5:02
  you're ready to go. Did you have Is there TV on
• 5:05
  these cruises now? There, there was TV in our
• 5:08
  cabin, OK, and we had a. Bigger watch it No right?
• 5:11
  I completely unplugged. No Internet there was.
• 5:16
  And and you didn't log on. Not often I I check scores.
• 5:20
  I check scores at night a couple of times, but not every night.
• 5:24
  It was just one of those vacations where it was a
• 5:27
  complete breakaway from, how about that?
• 5:30
  The day-to-day grind. And I enjoyed it so much.
• 5:32
  I've told you and for our listeners, I think everybody
• 5:34
  knows this. I've moved away from social
• 5:36
  media a lot over the last couple of years.
• 5:39
  It's really diminished and I think it's improvement for my
• 5:41
  mental health. It's just moving away from that
• 5:43
  component and I'm still on there, but not at the same
• 5:46
  degree. This same kind of thing, just
• 5:48
  that complete unplugged from everything going on in the
• 5:50
  world, not just sports wise, but just everything and I think I
• 5:53
  needed that. It was really good reconnect.
• 5:57
  Got to hang out with a bunch of my family.
• 5:58
  My parents were also on the cruise.
• 6:00
  My cousin set it up. It was for my aunt's 60th
• 6:02
  birthday. So how many family?
• 6:04
  Members were on the boat. There were, our party was, I
• 6:07
  think 26, Yeah. And they ended up every single
• 6:11
  night at O'malley's, the Irish bar on the ship.
• 6:13
  And Oh yeah, they, some of the people didn't have like, tap
• 6:17
  beer. Oh yeah, they did.
• 6:19
  Oh yeah, They had Heineken and Strongbow on tap, so I had
• 6:22
  plenty of those. It, it was incredible.
• 6:25
  It really was. And a, a cousin of mine, a
• 6:27
  distant cousin of mine whose first cousins with my dad hadn't
• 6:31
  seen Dave and I don't know, 30-40 years reconnect with him
• 6:36
  and he said he couldn't get away from how much I looked like my
• 6:38
  dad. So had a lot of great
• 6:39
  conversations. We did watch though, a couple of
• 6:41
  times. The sport that we 2 times got
• 6:44
  heavily involved in was the Indiana Fever and the WNBA.
• 6:48
  My uncle Danny, my cousin, his cousin from the other side of
• 6:51
  the family were locked in just watch it on their phone at
• 6:54
  O'malley's the Irish pub. Just watching those games even
• 6:57
  might have came on my parents locked in our flight home
• 7:00
  Saturday night. It was on the TV, the Sparks
• 7:03
  Fever game. My mom says if it's not on for
• 7:06
  them locally because they don't have the Quad City stations or
• 7:09
  what we have here, she'll watch it the next day on YouTube.
• 7:12
  I mean, that's, and it's incredible just seeing people
• 7:14
  from different parts of the state, from small parts of the
• 7:17
  state, how enthralled those people are.
• 7:20
  That's. That's good.
• 7:22
  The WNBA and specifically Caitlin Clark, how deep they are
• 7:26
  into it, I just couldn't get over that part of it.
• 7:28
  And my uncle, I mean, he's big guy in his 60s, loves all
• 7:32
  sports, never would watch women's basketball, and now on a
• 7:36
  cruise at O'malley's, he's got to have it on the phone to watch
• 7:38
  even without Caitlin Clark. Playing that's awesome.
• 7:41
  Oh, that's that's that's really cool good stuff.
• 7:44
  Well, glad you're back and we'll take it from here.
• 7:48
  So the program we'll have Scott Dockerman coming on the top 100
• 7:52
  rivalries Iowa State Iowa came in Seihawk is I think like 32
• 7:56
  somewhere in there right at the top.
• 7:58
  There's no surprise. Ohio State.
• 8:00
  Michigan, yeah, it's Ohio State, Michigan, then the Iron Bowl and
• 8:03
  don't remember what's 3 Army navies up there in the top five,
• 8:07
  I think #4 but anyways, so baseball moves on.
• 8:10
  We will do a couple of minutes on that at some point.
• 8:13
  Big 12 meaty days underway tomorrow.
• 8:15
  I've yet to find a schedule for whatever reason.
• 8:19
  I I've been at the Big 12. What is Big 12 sports.com trying
• 8:23
  to find a schedule. We'd hope to be able to bring
• 8:25
  you Matt Campbell live, whether it's in our show or whatever
• 8:28
  show that that it's in. If not, we'll record it so we
• 8:30
  can play that for you at some point.
• 8:34
  This this, this conference is going to be unbelievable.
• 8:37
  I think the parody, I know it's, we're going to say it a million
• 8:39
  times between now and probably throughout the regular season.
• 8:43
  It is. I just can't separate them,
• 8:46
  Trent. In a lot of cases, I try and I
• 8:48
  try. I can say, you know, I can go
• 8:50
  from one extreme to the other when it comes to Iowa State.
• 8:52
  I can get them six and six. I can get them nine and three.
• 8:54
  Yes, somewhere. In that range.
• 8:57
  You know what? You know what it kind of
• 8:58
  reminded me of when I was when I was looking back, the 2009 Iowa
• 9:02
  Orange Bowl team When. Everything went their way.
• 9:04
  Every single break, every crazy game.
• 9:06
  Yes, Stanzi throws a pick six. And what, four of those games?
• 9:09
  It didn't matter, right? They just would find a way.
• 9:11
  And then the next year happened and they were what, 7:00 and
• 9:14
  5:00? And that was the that was the
• 9:16
  bowl game against Missouri, right?
• 9:18
  Against Gabbert. Yes, and they picked.
• 9:20
  Micah Hyde had picked. Hyde yeah, took it back and
• 9:23
  clinched that one in the Marcus Coker game is how I remember
• 9:27
  that one. 227 yards. Did they lose all the running
• 9:29
  backs that year? No, that was 04.
• 9:31
  That was oh. Four.
• 9:32
  No. That was Marcus Coker.
• 9:33
  No. No, no, no.
• 9:35
  Adam Robinson getting in trouble.
• 9:36
  That was 04. No, that was 09.
• 9:39
  That's what I thought. That was.
• 9:40
  But but yeah, 'cause they were down running backs because of.
• 9:44
  Other things Other things. Damien Sims Young was he's no,
• 9:49
  he might have gone at that point.
• 9:50
  But yeah, regardless, they haven't had a lot of luck with
• 9:52
  that running back position. Hopefully the tides are turning
• 9:55
  after last year and Caleb Johnson, that can continue.
• 9:57
  But you know when you bring that up, and I was stayed in the
• 10:00
  close games. Just picked up Phil Steele for
• 10:03
  you and I yesterday at Barnes and Noble and.
• 10:06
  Were there a good supply of them left?
• 10:08
  It looked like about maybe half the stack of probably 20 were
• 10:12
  picked over because they had like 2 kind of tiers and a stand
• 10:15
  alone column there of the Phil Steele and maybe 12 of the 20
• 10:20
  were remaining. Something like that after I
• 10:21
  grabbed one for each of us. But one of my favorite columns
• 10:24
  that he does every single year and I haven't even cracked it
• 10:26
  yet is Turn Around, turnover, sequel, turn around and another
• 10:30
  one is close losses and how over time that seems to kind of
• 10:35
  regulate it. Even out it does and that they I
• 10:38
  keep going back to 2009 Iowa when they everything went their
• 10:41
  way and it didn't happen the next year.
• 10:42
  So I when it comes to Iowa State, you know they had a lot
• 10:46
  of good wins last year. I just.
• 10:50
  Is it even out this? Year, right?
• 10:52
  The Iowa game, obviously could have gone the other way.
• 10:54
  Sure. Could have I?
• 10:55
  Mean it doesn't take a ton for that one.
• 10:57
  West Virginia hung around to that game and they pulled away
• 10:59
  and got the victory in that one. The game against Central Florida
• 11:03
  and the drive by Rocco to clinch that one, that was a coin flip
• 11:06
  game that went their way. The Utah game was a coin flip
• 11:08
  game that went their way. They had, I mean, three of
• 11:11
  those. You flip from the other way and
• 11:13
  suddenly instead of playing in the Big 12 Championship game,
• 11:16
  you're going to the Fort Worth ball.
• 11:17
  Right, right. It's true.
• 11:19
  And that's how quickly it can turn and it takes an injury and
• 11:23
  depth and offensive line. I like that offensive line this
• 11:25
  year more than most years coming into a season.
• 11:28
  However injury hits, what's the depth behind them?
• 11:31
  We don't know. They say that they like these
• 11:33
  two new receivers, but the two that they lost are both playing
• 11:36
  in the NFL and went back to background.
• 11:38
  And they've been playing this roulette with these transfers
• 11:40
  and they have been hitting home runs time in and time out and
• 11:42
  it's been landed on 7 and you got 20 chips on that seven time
• 11:46
  in and time out is it can happen every single time.
• 11:49
  Credit obviously to the way the recruit, what they're looking
• 11:51
  for because they have a type and it's worked out incredibly well.
• 11:55
  Not all of them hit. They have for them at this
• 11:57
  point, but there's going to be a year where it doesn't for
• 12:00
  whatever reason, it just doesn't hit at that level.
• 12:02
  You hope it's not this year. There are holes to poke that you
• 12:05
  can get to, like you said, 6:00 and 6:00, but then you look
• 12:07
  through the schedule the other way, you can get back to 1:50.
• 12:11
  You can win double digit games once again and those games.
• 12:13
  Scares me more and more that I look at it that's it's South
• 12:16
  Dakota, but South Dakota's not brutal.
• 12:18
  No, they're top 10 program at the FCS level.
• 12:21
  So you you go across the pond, you play K State, then you get
• 12:24
  on the airplane, you come right back here, and then you got to
• 12:26
  get ready for South Dakota. Yeah, and.
• 12:28
  You don't think there'll be a let down in that game?
• 12:30
  And they'll look ahead with Iowa.
• 12:31
  And they'll look ahead with Iowa.
• 12:32
  The fact that there's no bye week between, I mean, I don't, I
• 12:36
  don't know what the scheduling would have allowed, but the fact
• 12:40
  that's that there's you get back and you're preparing for South
• 12:43
  Dakota, I guess on the plane. Oh, absolutely right.
• 12:47
  And what does that do? They get on the plane right
• 12:48
  after the game in Ireland like you would for a normal Rd. game
• 12:52
  where you just hop on the plane and you head back?
• 12:53
  Or is it different? I don't think it can be.
• 12:57
  You can't have any kind of flexibility.
• 12:58
  You just got to get on the plane and go because you're playing
• 13:00
  the following Saturday. Is K state off the following
• 13:03
  week? No, they play too I'm pretty
• 13:04
  sure. Do they?
• 13:05
  I think they do. Yeah, that's a weird 1, isn't?
• 13:07
  It no, it is K State plays. Yeah, they come right back North
• 13:11
  Dakota. Wow.
• 13:13
  OK. We got a couple of Dakotas they
• 13:15
  do coming in for. That when they get Army the
• 13:17
  following week. Meanwhile, Iowa State gets Iowa
• 13:19
  in the Cyhawk battle. Anyways.
• 13:22
  So Big 12 media days get underway tomorrow.
• 13:25
  Anxious to hear from Campbell. Some of the players, they're
• 13:27
  going down, some of the coaches as well.
• 13:30
  Won't burden you by putting those on the air.
• 13:31
  But if Campbell does air during our program or just before that,
• 13:35
  we'll find a way to to download that audio and bring it to you
• 13:39
  as part of Miller and Condon tomorrow.
• 13:42
  But again, I haven't been able to find just a schedule yet.
• 13:45
  All right, so let's talk a little bit of baseball.
• 13:47
  Looking forward to catching up with Matt Snyder.
• 13:49
  I don't really want to break down the All Star game.
• 13:51
  I mean, there's, there's certainly snubs.
• 13:53
  Suzuki's got to be a yeah. Right.
• 13:55
  I mean, and then, well, OK, so maybe I don't want to break
• 13:58
  down, but this one thing. So Yahoo Sports, I don't know if
• 14:02
  they're into baseball or they came up with an all snub team
• 14:05
  and Suzuki got snubbed from the snub team.
• 14:07
  A double blow, a double double whammy for say, a Suzuki boy.
• 14:13
  They just pounded the baseball last night.
• 14:15
  This team is so fun to watch. What are you?
• 14:17
  If you're the Cardinals, what are you about to do here?
• 14:19
  What are you about to embark on? They're playing.
• 14:22
  This was supposed to be a rebuild year.
• 14:24
  And here's why I ask it in the fashion that I'm about to John
• 14:27
  Mazelock, he said that GM walking sure, this is his last
• 14:32
  year, so are they going to allow him to make moves at the trade
• 14:35
  deadline? It's an intriguing.
• 14:37
  Question, right, Because he's out the door in two months.
• 14:40
  Yes, absolutely. And I think something is
• 14:42
  Cardinal fans you have to be concerned about.
• 14:44
  He's not worried about the. Future.
• 14:45
  No, absolutely not. He there is no future for.
• 14:48
  Him he wants to go out a winner he wants so is he going to be
• 14:52
  the guy that's going to how much sign off?
• 14:54
  And this is what we don't know how much sign off is there
• 14:56
  normally with the ownership group?
• 14:58
  Yes, financials, that's a part of it.
• 15:00
  But also I'm sure there's big picture things that are also
• 15:03
  there, you know, is an assistant GM have they named an heir
• 15:06
  apparent? I think.
• 15:07
  They have named an heir apparent, but apparently there's
• 15:10
  a little friction there. OK.
• 15:11
  And he got that component to it also.
• 15:14
  That's going to be interesting and something that I think we
• 15:16
  need to. I don't leave it in, I don't
• 15:18
  leave it up to him, Trent. The reason I think it's
• 15:21
  intriguing is because my own team, the Twins, have a similar
• 15:24
  circumstance as even to get back to 500 by the break, they got to
• 15:29
  play like 600 baseball here and they're remaining whatever it
• 15:31
  is, 18 games or whatever it is. You have an ownership group that
• 15:36
  wants to sell. That's not going well.
• 15:39
  You have the last three years when they're a lot better shape
• 15:42
  than they are this season, a team that went out and did
• 15:45
  nothing. Does it make more sense to get
• 15:48
  rid of Willie Castro? Can you find somebody to take
• 15:51
  Korea? But if you do that, with the
• 15:53
  ownership group likely changing hands, there's no guarantee that
• 15:58
  the front office is going to be there that is making these
• 16:00
  decisions. Do you want a front office that
• 16:04
  is maybe kind of plain for their lame career, making a decision
• 16:08
  on what to do with Royce Lewis, if there is a suitor for Royce
• 16:11
  Lewis and then we can get him fixed?
• 16:13
  Do you want maybe same thing that GM walking to be making
• 16:17
  those decisions? The Twins and the Cardinals are
• 16:19
  in a similar spot, different reasons for it.
• 16:22
  One GM. Cards are closer to a wild card
• 16:24
  than the twins are at this point.
• 16:25
  They are. And those are the different
• 16:28
  difficult conversations, though, and something that goes along
• 16:31
  right, deeper than just surface level when you're thinking about
• 16:34
  these decisions just not let's get our team better.
• 16:36
  There's a lot more that goes into it and something sometimes,
• 16:39
  probably you and I miss. Yeah.
• 16:41
  No, that's a fairpoint. The Kards Cup series was fun.
• 16:45
  A nice win by the Cardinals coming back on on Saturday to
• 16:47
  get that 8/6 with Kate Horton was phenomenal this weekend.
• 16:51
  Matthew Boyd last night. What a story Matthew Boyd is.
• 16:54
  He really is 34 years old now. I remember you and I talking
• 16:58
  about him because I think I asked you, who the hell is this
• 17:00
  guy after the one of the Cleveland playoff games last
• 17:03
  time. And I remember watching this
• 17:05
  lefty because I had no idea who it was.
• 17:07
  And he pitched really well. And I we came in here, we, you
• 17:10
  know, talking about the playoff games the night before.
• 17:13
  And I asked Trent what he knew about him.
• 17:14
  And I don't think he knew much about him, but man, oh, man, the
• 17:19
  league is finding out about him. He has been unbelievable to
• 17:23
  watch. All right, let's take our
• 17:25
  baseball conversation brings Benny into the old hello
• 17:29
  baseball. Benny, how are you?
• 17:31
  I am doing absolutely fantastic. Yeah.
• 17:34
  The successor's been named the former GM of the Boston Red Sox
• 17:38
  got let go in 2023. Shane Bloom, who started his
• 17:42
  career, who started his career with the Tampa Bay Devil race.
• 17:45
  So. And there is a little friction
• 17:47
  between him and Mazelak, right? I read that somewhere.
• 17:51
  And you could be totally correct on that, but Mazebak should be
• 17:54
  making no moves. He's terrible as AGM.
• 17:57
  He should have been let go before this.
• 17:58
  He shouldn't even have a swan song.
• 18:00
  The guy that should be running it, I, I don't care if it was
• 18:03
  last year. Chain Bloom needs to be in
• 18:04
  charge of the decision making. Whether it's for this year or
• 18:08
  five years from now. They they, I don't think they
• 18:10
  have a chance to win in the playoffs whether they make it.
• 18:13
  So go get rid of fellas play. Go get rid of Aaron Ottawa.
• 18:16
  They'll sign off on his no trade and just blow it out because
• 18:20
  that their young players still have not fully turned it all on
• 18:24
  and they're just not not in it for a long haul.
• 18:27
  This year. They're two or three years away
• 18:29
  and they still need to get Jordan Walker straightened out
• 18:32
  and a couple of the other a good young guys still have to
• 18:34
  improve. Shoot, if they could get
• 18:36
  something for Nolan Gorman, I'd show him the door as well.
• 18:39
  Yeah, Betty, thanks for the call.
• 18:40
  Appreciate it. Have a good good to talk to you
• 18:43
  baseball, Benny, on a little baseball conversation here.
• 18:47
  Yeah. We'll see where it goes.
• 18:49
  The Cubs won third baseman. So do a lot of teams.
• 18:52
  I know the Yankees are in the market.
• 18:53
  Well wait, wait, I asked Kathy about that a month ago and he
• 18:56
  shot that down that there is no chance they wanted 1/3 baseman.
• 18:59
  They have their third. Yeah, he was hitting 250 to 60
• 19:02
  at the time. Now he's not right down by the
• 19:03
  Mendoza like he plays defensively, he's fine.
• 19:06
  He's I made a play last couple of plays last night, couple
• 19:10
  plays over the weekend. He's really good glove man at
• 19:13
  the hot corner, but he's just not hitting his way.
• 19:15
  They want to Brian Hayes, he's going to be a hot commodity.
• 19:18
  Apparently the Pittsburgh Pirates Sonic Charlie Hayes, who
• 19:22
  was a good third baseman in his own right.
• 19:24
  But key Brian Hayes is a name that Cubs are going to go after.
• 19:27
  The Yankees are going to go after a couple of playoff teams
• 19:30
  that are shopping around him this trade deadline.
• 19:32
  I mean, I wonder what teams are waiting for.
• 19:34
  You know what? Be first.
• 19:36
  Get out there. Get it done.
• 19:37
  Well, outside of the Rockies and a guy like Ryan McMahon, some
• 19:41
  bullpen arms. There's a couple of pieces
• 19:43
  there. Yep, Pirates brought up Haze.
• 19:46
  That makes a whole lot of sense. But you go through are the
• 19:50
  Braves going to sell pieces? They should.
• 19:52
  They're hopelessly out of it. Nationals.
• 19:55
  Well, they've already started it, firing both the GMs and
• 19:58
  Davey Martinez. I get the Davey Martinez thing.
• 20:00
  Rizzo, the GM. And and maybe.
• 20:02
  This is like Mozeloch. Yeah.
• 20:04
  You don't want him in charge of the draft, which is Wednesday.
• 20:06
  Is it this? It's this.
• 20:08
  Weekend sounds right. Yeah, it's this.
• 20:09
  Weekend and they fire the guy that's going to run the draft.
• 20:14
  Yeah, Timing wise, Right. OK, so the Braves should sell.
• 20:20
  Should sell. I agree the Twins should sell.
• 20:24
  What about the Royals? Should sell.
• 20:27
  Guardians. Yeah, Sell.
• 20:29
  I think so too. We know their financial
• 20:31
  situation and and they've been able to keep it together with
• 20:34
  Scotch tape for a long time. True.
• 20:36
  But now the time is now, right, Jose Ramirez become available.
• 20:41
  I mean, do you go with that? Tear it down?
• 20:43
  How old is he? That's a great question.
• 20:45
  He has been hitting for a is he going to be a Hall of Famer?
• 20:50
  He's still got work to do. Obviously.
• 20:53
  Jose Ramirez is 32 career numbers.
• 20:59
  This does not have them added up.
• 21:00
  I will find them. But Jose Ramirez, first
• 21:05
  contract, right? I think you got to look at that
• 21:06
  first. What does he still have
• 21:07
  remaining on his contract as he's doing it again this year?
• 21:10
  Just another outstanding season. His contract is 7 years, $141
• 21:16
  million signed in 2022. That means four years left, four
• 21:20
  years left. He's 32.
• 21:22
  He'll be 36 at the end of the contract. 21 million next year,
• 21:26
  23 and then 25. Yeah, Yeah, I, I with three
• 21:31
  years remaining at that production at 32 years old, I
• 21:34
  mean, that's, if you're going to tear it down, that is a building
• 21:38
  block, a guy that has position flexibility, a guy that always
• 21:41
  hits, that would be the biggest name to come on the market,
• 21:45
  wouldn't it? Is there a bigger?
• 21:49
  Is there a pitcher? He'd certainly be in the
• 21:56
  conversation. He'd certainly be in the here's
• 22:00
  a here's a big name for you that that I wonder if they'll do the
• 22:02
  right thing or I wonder if he'd even want to move.
• 22:05
  What about Mike Trout? That's that's an intriguing one.
• 22:10
  Now the angels are hanging around.
• 22:11
  Well, they they are and they aren't.
• 22:13
  They're on the periphery, right right of the playoff race, three
• 22:17
  games under 504 1/2 back in the wild card is that.
• 22:20
  All the ARS 4 1/2. They'd have to jump the Rangers,
• 22:23
  the Red Sox and then whoever else to get there, Mariners and
• 22:26
  Rays in order to get to that point.
• 22:28
  Doesn't seem likely. Mike Trout, Be nice to see him
• 22:31
  in the playoffs. I'll say even at a diminished
• 22:34
  Mike Trout, to see him be able to be out there and to get some
• 22:37
  playoff baseball, that would be 1.
• 22:39
  But who would you rather have, Mike Trout or Jose Ramirez?
• 22:42
  I'll make. How old's Mike Trout?
• 22:46
  He's been around longer than you think.
• 22:48
  Yes, absolutely. Mike Trout is da, da, da. 33
• 22:53
  years. OK, another year, but a lot more
• 22:56
  wear and tear. Yeah.
• 22:57
  On that body. Yeah, he's been injured a lot.
• 22:59
  I'll I'll give you the name of third base.
• 23:01
  How about Suarez from the from the Diamondbacks?
• 23:03
  I like he's he's going to be confident.
• 23:05
  Did he make the All Star team? He.
• 23:06
  Had to. He did.
• 23:07
  Yeah, I'm. I'm almost positive I saw him
• 23:09
  when I was going through the list last night.
• 23:11
  Yeah, he's had an outstanding season.
• 23:13
  Baltimore has to sell. But who are they gonna sell it?
• 23:16
  Because everybody's younger. Right, right.
• 23:18
  Outside of those crappy pictures they warned me about before the
• 23:20
  season, I wasn't listening, no. You should have.
• 23:23
  I know I have to listen to you on the Rangers Not Dead Yet.
• 23:26
  No, they got they got a pulse. Anyways, we'll talk to Scott
• 23:30
  Dockerman next. He's got a really conversation
• 23:33
  starter. The top 100 rivalries when it
• 23:36
  comes to college football. Cyhawk checked in at #32 Iowa
• 23:41
  State, K states on there. Of course, the Iowa rivals are
• 23:44
  on there. By the way, Tom Kegger, did you
• 23:46
  listen on Fridays or this week, this past week, on Wednesday,
• 23:49
  his did you see his fearless forecast?
• 23:51
  Was it 9 and three or ten and two, nine and three, nine and
• 23:54
  three? The only quote rival civil
• 23:56
  regame he's got them losing is the Nebraska game that.
• 24:01
  'D be a Stinger at 9:00 and 2:00 going into that one with.
• 24:05
  Where would Nebraska be? I would like to know that in
• 24:07
  Tom's scenario. Seven and six or seven and four
• 24:10
  7. And four at that point, yeah,
• 24:12
  yeah, probably. Where I see him?
• 24:15
  I I think that that's fair. But with a potential College
• 24:18
  Football Playoff berth on the line in.
• 24:20
  Nebraska with a chance to knock them out and do so at Memorial
• 24:24
  Stadium in Lincoln on Black Friday.
• 24:26
  Boy, that would be a massive, massive game, no doubt about it.
• 24:30
  Well, we'll see. We'll talk to Tom on Friday
• 24:32
  about that. He joins in his regular spot.
• 24:34
  Scott Doctorman is next. We're underway on a Monday.
• 24:39
  It's the Iowa Sports Radio Network, by the way, before we
• 24:41
  go to break transfer. Almost forgot to do this.
• 24:43
  Got to be retrained after a long week.
• 24:45
  The weekend, Boy, that four day weekend was nice.
• 24:48
  It really was. Yeah, we're going to have to
• 24:49
  work on Labor Day, but this was well worth it.

  Trent Condon and Ken Miller were with you until 2 off the bench
• 25:26
  at that time, 2 until 5:00 with Sean and Lucas.
• 25:29
  Scott Dockerman from The Athletic.
• 25:31
  He's been busy putting together his top rivalries, top 100 in
• 25:35
  college football and the noted Michigan fan Scott Dockerman
• 25:40
  joins the program. Hello Doc.
• 25:42
  That was a new one. I'm guessing you hadn't been
• 25:44
  accused of being a Wolverine fan in a while, have you?
• 25:47
  No, that ones a brand new one. I'm really surprised to be
• 25:51
  called a Michigan fan, but I guess I'll have to reevaluate my
• 25:55
  loyalties. You're going.
• 25:57
  So you knew it was going to be pushed back that that's what's
• 26:00
  great about some of these pieces that you want.
• 26:02
  You want the feedback positive or negative, I guess just you
• 26:07
  know, following on XS. I do it seems to be the Backyard
• 26:10
  Brawl was, correct me if I'm wrong, maybe generated the most
• 26:15
  pushback from fans of that rivalry.
• 26:17
  Or is there another one that that those fan bases thought
• 26:21
  that they were shortchanged? Primarily the Backyard Brawl, as
• 26:25
  you said, and unfortunately when we did a graphic, they had the
• 26:29
  top 25 out of my top 100. It it was 26, the backyard
• 26:35
  brawl. And so when primarily West
• 26:39
  Virginia fans really came strong at me.
• 26:41
  But you know, the The thing is, what I discovered the most in
• 26:46
  this whole process is when you take about rivalries 35 or so to
• 26:52
  15. It is really difficult to
• 26:55
  differentiate it from a 20,000 foot view because you know,
• 26:58
  locally Iowa State is a big deal.
• 27:01
  You go to Oregon, it's the Civil War Apple Cup, the clubs in
• 27:05
  South Carolina, all of them have these in state or border
• 27:08
  rivalries that are just incredible.
• 27:11
  And some have better nicknames than the others.
• 27:13
  But I'm not, I didn't really wasn't interested in saying, Oh,
• 27:16
  well, this one should be ranked higher because it's called the
• 27:18
  Backyard Brawl or whatever. So then I started evaluating it
• 27:21
  on things like how many times have they met as ranked
• 27:24
  opponents? What's the disparity in wins and
• 27:26
  losses? How many times have they met for
• 27:29
  really important games, you know, whether it's top 10 or
• 27:31
  division or conference championship games.
• 27:34
  And that was really what kind of propelled me in a lot of those
• 27:40
  specific rankings to, to, to really kind of go forward.
• 27:45
  And I think locally and there were some surprises.
• 27:48
  And then the Backyard Brawl fell a lot because they'd only had 6
• 27:51
  ranked matchups in 107 games, No top 10s.
• 27:54
  They, they didn't play from 2012 to 2021.
• 27:58
  They don't they don't play in the next three years after this
• 28:00
  year. It's like you compare that with
• 28:03
  Clemson SC, for instance. It's it's they'll brainer.
• 28:06
  I mean they play every year. You know, they're non conference
• 28:08
  opponents. So and then there are a lot of
• 28:11
  them like that. Some are in conference, some are
• 28:13
  not the Cyhawk. So originally I did an original
• 28:18
  list just kind of going in to give me kind of a barometer and
• 28:21
  then I move things around actually was a little higher
• 28:23
  than I than I'd planned. And but there was only one
• 28:26
  ranked match up. And, and so when you, when you
• 28:29
  kind of look at that and you evaluate it against say,
• 28:32
  Michigan, Michigan State where you know, they're what, 19 or
• 28:35
  something like that. I mean, it's just, it's, it's
• 28:37
  kind of hard to, to do it just strictly on passion alone
• 28:40
  because everybody's passionate about their rivalries.
• 28:43
  So that was, you know, at least I had something to fall back on
• 28:48
  other than just vibes. A lot of pushback I saw in the
• 28:50
  comments section a place I try to stay away from for the most
• 28:53
  part in the Wisconsin, Minnesota rivalry.
• 28:56
  Here in the upper Midwest, we know what that means.
• 28:58
  Paul Bunyan's axe, a huge part of it, trying to chop down the
• 29:01
  goal posts afterwards, after you steal that axe.
• 29:03
  There's always great theater involved there.
• 29:05
  Would that be the one that you thought maybe at least at the
• 29:08
  regional front you got the most pushback on on your list?
• 29:12
  Probably. I did get some there.
• 29:14
  And, and a lot of it is comparing the their rivalry to
• 29:17
  that one. And, and it it's understandable
• 29:20
  if you look at it from like, say a national prominence kind of
• 29:23
  view. But you know, Wisconsin and
• 29:25
  Minnesota is the most played rivalry in college football
• 29:28
  history. It's tied.
• 29:30
  It's not like Wisconsin has got 85 wins and the, you know, 40 to
• 29:35
  8 or something like that. I mean, it's tied but 6363 to 8.
• 29:41
  They have played some prominent games.
• 29:43
  They have played some divisional championship caliber games and
• 29:47
  you know, they and again, nicknames and trophies, I try to
• 29:50
  keep out of it, but they do play for one of the coolest trophies
• 29:52
  in college football. And I mean when when they played
• 29:55
  every year since 19 O 7, which no other series can claim to do
• 30:01
  and they started in 1890. It's really important.
• 30:04
  It's indelible to the sport. And so I felt like even though
• 30:07
  some other rivalries had bigger, more important games than that
• 30:11
  one in particular, just because of the longevity and the
• 30:13
  frequency and the importance for their conference in their region
• 30:18
  was just a little bit stronger than a few others that were
• 30:21
  certainly better at the national level.
• 30:24
  What's the newest rivalry doc? Was it UCF South?
• 30:27
  Florida, that one is pretty new. I mean, it's all it's all kind
• 30:33
  of relative to some extent. And I did a side piece on
• 30:37
  rivalries to watch and, and that that was my story came out a
• 30:41
  couple of hours later, you know, through realignment.
• 30:45
  What were some of them? And I had West Virginia,
• 30:47
  Cincinnati on that list. I had, you know, the one that
• 30:51
  really sticks, sticks out for me that I would like to see happen
• 30:54
  is Arkansas, Oklahoma. They haven't played at a home
• 30:58
  environment since 1926. They've only played three times
• 31:03
  since then and they've all been in bowls and you think about it,
• 31:05
  you know, they're not very far apart.
• 31:07
  They're now in the same league. I think that would be a really
• 31:10
  interesting rivalry in the region.
• 31:12
  And then, you know, Houston TCUI had in there and then a few
• 31:15
  others. So, you know, UCFUSF that's, you
• 31:20
  know, the war on I-4. That was that's one that I just
• 31:23
  for some reason, I don't think it's going to just fade away.
• 31:25
  I think it's going to resurface. Maybe it's in the Big 12 at some
• 31:28
  point or whatever structure goes forward in the twenty 30s, but
• 31:33
  that would probably be new. But you know, we had, I had five
• 31:37
  Iowa ones, 2 Iowa State ones. Yeah, right.
• 31:43
  And that one's surging. So I I think and then Iowa, Penn
• 31:47
  State was one that, you know, it's again, it's more of an
• 31:51
  organic competitive rivalry than it is some sort of historic one.
• 31:55
  Like, yeah, if I would have picked it with Purdue or
• 31:57
  Illinois, James Franklin keeps flaming the flames a little bit
• 32:01
  faded the flames that one keeps building up as it did a couple
• 32:04
  of years back. Also, when you're going through
• 32:07
  this list, you know, historic rivalries that we have no more
• 32:09
  because of conference realignment.
• 32:11
  Obviously the PAC 12 that falling apart, not going to see
• 32:14
  those yearly with the biggest 1, though, that we don't get
• 32:16
  anymore be Oklahoma and Nebraska.
• 32:19
  That's one for me definitely sits up there towards the top of
• 32:22
  the list before it morphed into Colorado, Nebraska on Black
• 32:25
  Friday. But for me in the 80s, I mean,
• 32:27
  that was the game. It was one of the two or three
• 32:30
  greatest rivalries in college football history up until
• 32:33
  probably the formation of the Big 12 through the Big Eight
• 32:37
  era. It every year it mattered every
• 32:39
  year the winner was probably going to go to the Orange Bowl
• 32:41
  and and have a chance of the national title.
• 32:44
  I mean, they 18 times they've met in the top ten.
• 32:47
  That's that's the second most, tied for the second most.
• 32:50
  And they really have only played a couple of times since Nebraska
• 32:54
  moved on out of the the Big 12. So it's still a historic
• 32:58
  rivalry, and it's one that, you know, I debated with because it
• 33:02
  is dormant. And, you know, then the interest
• 33:04
  isn't as strong, even though there's a lot of nostalgia
• 33:08
  associated with it. But that would be one that you
• 33:10
  kind of look at and go, wow, it'd be nice to have something
• 33:13
  like that again. But the stakes will never be as
• 33:16
  high as they once were. And I think, you know, not to
• 33:19
  speak for Nebraska fans because I know that they would want me
• 33:22
  to, but I'm a Michigan man now. Oh, you know, so I'm like in
• 33:29
  there with Steve Fisher, right? But I would say that Nebraska,
• 33:35
  even though it was kind of a respectful rivalry with
• 33:37
  Oklahoma, I mean, they they saw they're very competitive, but
• 33:42
  they did not like Colorado and they do not like Colorado.
• 33:45
  And I think they feel the same way about Iowa too.
• 33:47
  And, and so I think those two were, you know, kind of headed
• 33:51
  in a different direction because for the 90s, Nebraska, Colorado
• 33:55
  was outstanding theories. Historically, it's not.
• 33:58
  But then and then, you know, likewise, this is the kind of
• 34:02
  the trajectory I also kind of used in some of my rankings.
• 34:05
  Just Nebraska, Iowa to me probably has the highest upside
• 34:09
  for the Hawkeyes and the Huskers for that matter, that it's just
• 34:12
  when are they going to play a game that matters to both of
• 34:15
  them equally with something major at stake?
• 34:17
  We thought for by now it would have happened.
• 34:20
  You know, when they're in the West Division that maybe they're
• 34:22
  going to have a take all W division title.
• 34:24
  It never happened. But I think if they can get to
• 34:27
  that point where hey, they can get to the play end game to go
• 34:30
  to the to go to the playoff or something like that, I think
• 34:33
  that could be one that really takes off.
• 34:35
  And and the one that really had the highest trajectory out of
• 34:38
  the ones I did was Washington, Oregon.
• 34:40
  I think now that they're in a last weekend rivalry and they
• 34:45
  don't have their in state foes, I think that one's going to take
• 34:47
  off and be one of the most important ones in the country.
• 34:50
  You mentioned the possibility I win Nebraska, maybe playing to
• 34:53
  get into that play in Big 10 game.
• 34:55
  Where are we on that front? And Tony Petitti has been
• 34:58
  incredibly quiet. He's been talking a little bit
• 35:00
  more. But where are we with the SEC
• 35:02
  and the Big 10 trying to come back to an agreement of what the
• 35:05
  future of the College Football Playoff looks like?
• 35:07
  Well, that, that remains to be seen, Trent, because, you know,
• 35:11
  I did a story last week with my colleague Seth Emerson, who
• 35:14
  covers the SEC and, and Georgia and to extent.
• 35:17
  And it's just on the different philosophies between the two
• 35:20
  leagues. I mean, the SEC has never been
• 35:22
  fearful of coming out vocally and, and expressing what they
• 35:26
  want and, and it's paid off for them.
• 35:28
  It has for years. And they've been able to back it
• 35:31
  up on the field as well. But then you look at the Big 10
• 35:35
  and this quiet structure here, it really doesn't serve them
• 35:39
  very well. I mean, you think going back to
• 35:42
  late January that they had a lot of swagger, they had a lot of
• 35:46
  equity. You know, they won the national
• 35:48
  title. They they won, you know what, 5
• 35:50
  out of six games had to head in the post season with the SEC,
• 35:54
  second year in a row, they won a championship.
• 35:56
  They could have really been strutting and they could have,
• 35:58
  you know, pushed forth their plans, you know, But instead
• 36:01
  they decided to take the, the a shallow approach and sit right
• 36:05
  back and not say anything and then and then haven't been
• 36:09
  assertive. So at this point, it, it's going
• 36:12
  to take some time. They're they're going to have,
• 36:14
  they're going to wait and it doesn't, they don't have to say
• 36:17
  what they need to be, you know, whether it's a 16 team playoff
• 36:20
  or 12 team playoff till December.
• 36:22
  So my anticipation is they're going to let this kind of ride
• 36:25
  for a little bit and then the big 10 will go back and, and
• 36:30
  suggest that they go to that, you know, qualifying style of of
• 36:35
  bracket. But I don't know that right now
• 36:38
  that they have enough, they have enough juice to get it done And,
• 36:42
  and it's all self owned. They they ruined it themselves.
• 36:46
  Doc, my last thing for you, how I, I'm guessing when you, when
• 36:50
  you started putting them on paper, obviously #1 and #2 came
• 36:53
  very quickly, right? Ohio State, Ohio State,
• 36:56
  Michigan, Auburn, AL. When did it start to get a
• 37:00
  little tricky that you started moving stuff around?
• 37:04
  Oklahoma, Texas three Army Navy 4?
• 37:07
  When did you come to a point where you started to really you
• 37:09
  have to put your thinking cap on, if you would.
• 37:13
  I started this process in March that was kind of researching all
• 37:17
  of the, the rivalries. And I mean, I went through 150
• 37:20
  or more because there's a lot of D threes and D twos and, and FCS
• 37:24
  ones that really matter too. And you're going to figure that
• 37:27
  in and, and I was really just trying to, I put them in a
• 37:31
  workable list. I hit up a lot of my colleagues
• 37:33
  and OK, what do you think of Miami series?
• 37:35
  What do you think of Louisville guys who've covered them for a
• 37:38
  long time? And and then I got I kind of
• 37:42
  right around Memorial Day, I had a blueprint and this is like my
• 37:45
  top 100, I think. But then I started it from 100
• 37:50
  and went to one as opposed to the other way around because I
• 37:55
  wanted to make sure that, well, first, by the time I got I
• 37:59
  ended, I'd probably have a little bit more life the tank
• 38:01
  writing about Michigan, Ohio State and NC State, you know, or
• 38:06
  something. But but then also it I did move
• 38:11
  a lot around from that initial to the land.
• 38:14
  Probably only about 19 stayed the same.
• 38:17
  And really at the very end, I would say of the top three, two
• 38:22
  and three were almost inseparable.
• 38:25
  I really struggled with that one because Texas and Oklahoma by
• 38:29
  the numbers are better than everybody else except for
• 38:31
  Michigan, Ohio State. I mean, most ranked matchups,
• 38:34
  most, you know, top 10 matchups. I mean, you know, the list goes
• 38:38
  on and on. But you know, then he got
• 38:40
  Auburn. AL have had some real incredible
• 38:42
  games. It's an incredibly passionate
• 38:45
  state. And I guess I look at it this
• 38:47
  way, if they, if they thrive in the SEC, Oklahoma and Texas and
• 38:52
  Auburn continues to kind of wallow where it is, then then
• 38:55
  it's got a chance to pass it up. But, but Auburn, AL, just the,
• 38:59
  you know, the, the everything associated with it just made it
• 39:02
  hard to move. But, but I would say through
• 39:04
  the, the, the most difficult, without question, the most
• 39:07
  difficult section for me to go through was about 35 to 15.
• 39:12
  Because you had all those in state rivalries and those border
• 39:14
  rivalries and you know, the backyard brawl, the Holy War,
• 39:18
  the Civil War, Cyhawk, all of them.
• 39:20
  And they all matters so much locally, you know.
• 39:23
  And so for in Des Moines, nobody cares about background yard
• 39:26
  brawl and Pittsburgh only cares about Psyhawk.
• 39:29
  So how do I make that work? And I would say individually,
• 39:33
  the most difficult game by far to place was Bedlam because it's
• 39:37
  got remarkable numbers in so many areas.
• 39:41
  But it's the second greatest disparity in wins and losses of
• 39:44
  any series in the in college football history next to
• 39:47
  Oklahoma, Iowa State. So it's it was really that one
• 39:52
  was really hard to play. Glad the Ivy League made it,
• 39:54
  Harvey, Yale, Harvard, Yale coming into 20.
• 39:56
  Good stuff. Hey, Doc, Rod of Time, well
• 39:58
  done. That's a huge, huge lift for you
• 40:01
  to pull that together. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
• 40:04
  with us here this morning on Miller and Conn Scott.
• 40:06
  Have a great week, Doc. Thank you all.
• 40:08
  Right. Thank you, You have a good.
• 40:09
  One good to talk to you, Scott Dockerman from The Athletic.
• 40:12
  You can check it out for yourself online at
• 40:14
  theathletic.com. Miller and Condon back to wrap
• 40:17
  up our number one, it's the Iowa Sports Radio Network.
• 40:22
  I'm Miller Collins in final minute.
• 40:23
  Our number one, our number two start talking baseball.
• 40:27
  Look forward to that real quick. When you were gone a
• 40:30
  reclassification Trey Thompson could have joined the Hawk.
• 40:33
  It's pretty big get. Trent, not just a big get, they
• 40:36
  wanted front court help, but also seeing how upset Purdue
• 40:39
  fans have been about this. A guy that for the last couple
• 40:43
  of years people just anticipated was going to be a Boilermaker.
• 40:45
  Never committed to them, but that was kind of the industry
• 40:48
  understanding he was going to be a Boilermaker.
• 40:50
  That's not happening. I don't think he's an impact
• 40:53
  guy, but he's a guy that can help 1215 minutes a game.
• 40:55
  Will they beat Tennessee, Purdue, Yukon amongst the
• 40:58
  others? Kansas was involved.
• 41:00
  That's some blue bloods. Ray McCaffrey wasn't doing that.
• 41:02
  No, that's true. Hour 2 is coming up.
• 41:05
  Baseball with Matt Snyder, Bill Seals on his way to Big 12.
