  Hi, good afternoon. Welcome to Miller and Condon.
• 0:18
  On a Thursday, the Iowa Sports Radio Network, Trent Condon and
• 0:23
  Ken Miller will kick things off on the afternoon. 6 hour block
• 0:27
  talking sports with you and we appreciate you starting your
• 0:29
  afternoon here with us. We'll take you until 2 and at
• 0:33
  that time off the bench, Sean Roberts, Lucas Strain till 5,
• 0:36
  overtime Iowa, the final hour, 5 until 6:00.
• 0:39
  Here's what's coming up on our busy program today.
• 0:43
  Trent, help me out. Lee Sterling.
• 0:45
  Lee Sterling. That's right, we'll start things
• 0:47
  off paramountsports.com bottom of the hour.
• 0:50
  He's got a handful of games that he will opine on.
• 0:53
  Look forward to catching Lee on a weekly basis.
• 0:55
  Yes, he's a handicapper, but he goes on record.
• 0:58
  He doesn't try to hide when he has his bad weeks.
• 1:00
  And if you're so inclined, you're welcome to jump aboard
• 1:03
  with Lee at Paramount Sports. Otherwise, just listen and take
• 1:06
  him with a grain of salt or go the other way.
• 1:08
  Whatever you'd want to do. But Lee Sterling will join us at
• 1:12
  the bottom of the hour on Thursdays now, right through the
• 1:14
  end of college football. Then Mitch Holtis, this is his
• 1:17
  final daily Chiefs training camp report.
• 1:20
  He will join us. Obviously Rasheed Rice will come
• 1:23
  up in the conversation, I'm guessing at some point with
• 1:25
  Mitch and they will get set. They'll be there.
• 1:28
  They'll be across. They'll be in Brazil by this
• 1:30
  time next week, right? Of course they would.
• 1:32
  The game's tomorrow night. We're a week from tomorrow
• 1:36
  night, so Mitch will join us and then in our number two, Bill
• 1:40
  Bender from the Sporting News. And what oh, Joe, Joe Stacy's
• 1:45
  going to be here. It is after all, the precipice.
• 1:49
  We are on it of week one in high school football.
• 1:51
  And Joe will join us at 1:30 to talk about their plans, him and
• 1:55
  his team on football Friday nights here on KX&O and maybe
• 1:59
  some of the teams to watch in the five A level or maybe drop
• 2:03
  down a class or two teams to watch in the area or throughout
• 2:06
  the state of Iowa. That coming up at 1:30.
• 2:09
  Trent will make some picks before we slide out of here at
• 2:12
  2:00. So football is here.
• 2:15
  The bells ring out in the banners fly.
• 2:17
  Baseball was fun yesterday. I mean, it was OK yesterday.
• 2:22
  You don't need overselling. No, I'm not.
• 2:24
  I don't want to try Cubs again. Couldn't get the job done as
• 2:27
  they're they're not going to catch the Brewers.
• 2:29
  They did have a, you know, glimmer of hope maybe, but that
• 2:31
  seemingly has gone out the window.
• 2:33
  Justin Turner betting in the cleanup spot.
• 2:35
  What is going on here? I mean, he shouldn't meet me on
• 2:37
  the team. Let's be perfectly honest.
• 2:39
  I don't get it. He's on the team because he
• 2:41
  organizes players meals when they're on the road.
• 2:43
  Let somebody else handle that, right?
• 2:46
  I mean, you're taking up a roster spot.
• 2:48
  This guy's had Curries 40 years old.
• 2:50
  I get it. He doesn't want to leave.
• 2:52
  It's a wonderful job. It must be.
• 2:54
  You mean 5 star hotels and private jets and a per diem that
• 2:58
  you can't spend and plus what you're making on top of all of?
• 3:03
  That. And you're a Major League
• 3:05
  player, you never want it to end.
• 3:07
  But Justin Turner, it's time. It was your overdue time.
• 3:10
  And he's batting 4th. But you can't kill him for it.
• 3:13
  I mean, he didn't put himself on the.
• 3:14
  I agree with you. I agree with you.
• 3:16
  And yes, Craig counsel Batson 4th, Batson 4th and gets paid $8
• 3:20
  million, wears a mask as he goes to the bank to cash his check.
• 3:24
  You got a dartboard there. You do a better job putting a
• 3:26
  line up together. Justin Turner in the.
• 3:29
  Clean up spot. Well, you know what was coming.
• 3:30
  They had the bases. Of course not.
• 3:32
  You know who's coming 643? Yeah, I agree.
• 3:37
  It's not his fault. It's not his fault.
• 3:39
  He never should have put on on the team in the 1st place.
• 3:41
  Yeah, he's had two big hits, big deal, right?
• 3:44
  He had a game-winning run on a double and likewise on a home
• 3:47
  run. Big deal.
• 3:48
  A lot of guys could do that, bring somebody up, but by
• 3:51
  Sterosop, just somebody that can hit the ball.
• 3:54
  It's not him. It's not.
• 3:55
  It's not him for sure. He organizes the team dinners.
• 4:00
  That just drives me crazy. This is why he's on the team.
• 4:05
  Anyways, enough about that. I'm in a good mood looking at
• 4:09
  the football here tonight. So I sitting here BS with Scott
• 4:12
  Knock prior to the game. Now prior to the show rather and
• 4:16
  Scott Knock, who was on Dan McCartney staff in 2000 when
• 4:18
  they won the inside bowl. That team, by the way, is
• 4:21
  getting honoured this weekend at Jack Trice.
• 4:24
  They're all back, or as many of them as can come back are making
• 4:28
  it back. McCartney and his team, which
• 4:30
  was pretty cool. Do you remember that era when
• 4:32
  they finally won the inside bowl and finally won a bowl game and
• 4:34
  what it meant? It kind of was.
• 4:37
  Now remember, I was also in eastern Iowa.
• 4:39
  Yeah, So it didn't mean as much. It didn't mean as much.
• 4:41
  I get it. But it was, it was a big deal.
• 4:44
  It it felt like it was, you know.
• 4:46
  They haven't done it. They finally checked the box and
• 4:50
  at that time it seemingly a corner was being turned as far
• 4:53
  as Iowa State athletics and that kind of culminated it.
• 4:57
  So that team's going to be here. But that's not what I would talk
• 4:59
  about. I asked him, have you seen, have
• 5:04
  you seen the availability report for this week?
• 5:06
  I post come out yesterday. I didn't see it.
• 5:08
  I've been scouring looking. For it Oh yeah, that's right,
• 5:10
  they're supposed to because of the West Coast schools, though,
• 5:12
  or the. We had to wait.
• 5:13
  Had to wait until 9:00 because they have practice in the
• 5:16
  afternoon, right? You're going to wait to get
• 5:18
  through, right? 9:00 Central time is when.
• 5:20
  You're supposed to have released them.
• 5:22
  And so I kept, you know, refreshed because I want to see
• 5:24
  about Brazina. I like Brazina.
• 5:26
  I want to see, is he hurt? Is he going to play?
• 5:28
  What's the situation there? I like him as a player.
• 5:31
  I want to see him on the field. He says to me, Scott Knox says
• 5:34
  to me, there's not no availability report this week.
• 5:38
  This is conference games only. Oh.
• 5:41
  So this will not be something that has to be instituted next
• 5:44
  week for side Hawk. Ding Ding, Ding, wow.
• 5:47
  You know what? In our euphoria that the
• 5:51
  conference finally got something right, we didn't read the fine
• 5:56
  print. For conference games.
• 6:01
  Publicly provide player ability reports for all conference games
• 6:05
  in football, basketball, men's and women's.
• 6:10
  Come on, wow, what? What would be the reasoning for
• 6:16
  not doing it every week? And the only reason we got one
• 6:19
  last week it because obviously it was a conference game.
• 6:23
  Just while we're just patting them on the back, embracing the
• 6:27
  Big 12 for being a pioneer, for being a leader.
• 6:32
  We didn't read the fine print. Bad work out of us.
• 6:35
  I guess, yeah. Because did you hear anybody
• 6:37
  bring this up? No, not, not just Miller and
• 6:40
  Condon. No, it's across the board.
• 6:43
  Nobody picked up on this. Nobody picked up on this as far
• 6:45
  as well, Scott Knock did. So we got a huge match up
• 6:48
  tomorrow. Auburn, Baylor.
• 6:50
  Nope. Baylor's going to keep it to
• 6:52
  themselves. Yeah, no, I don't know.
• 6:55
  Does the SE that last year at Psy Hawk I will put out what?
• 6:58
  He did, absolutely. Because for in the Big 10, it's
• 7:01
  every game. It's every game, right?
• 7:03
  And we'll get that 90 minutes before, yes I will.
• 7:06
  Albany on Saturday. Just when you think.
• 7:10
  You got a little step forward, so how much time did you waste
• 7:15
  searching? Well, I didn't.
• 7:16
  I'm not going to rely and say I was, you know, constantly
• 7:18
  refreshing. Well, I know your personality
• 7:20
  though, and when something gets in your head, it's difficult for
• 7:24
  you to get that bug out. Well, I kept I I probably
• 7:27
  checked two or three times before I turned.
• 7:29
  I turned in last night because again, I like Brazina.
• 7:32
  I hope he plays every game. I think they've got something
• 7:35
  there in Iowa State. I believe they do.
• 7:38
  And I was disappointed when he got hurt and couldn't return to
• 7:40
  the field. I, you know, here we go again.
• 7:43
  I just you just wonder if this kids going to be one of these
• 7:45
  kids that you know, every year can't you can't see him reach
• 7:50
  his potential because injuries unfortunately are not allowing
• 7:53
  him to do so. So I'm not saying it's season
• 7:55
  ending, but I hope that's not the case.
• 7:58
  But anyways, so. That we got you.
• 8:01
  That did get me and I think it got a lot of.
• 8:04
  People, we got Justin Turner, we got entry reports.
• 8:06
  What else is pissing you off today, Miller?
• 8:08
  No, no, no. I'm in a good mood.
• 8:09
  OK? I'm in a good mood.
• 8:10
  I hate people think that I'm a curmudgeon.
• 8:13
  I'm not. I'm old.
• 8:14
  I'll give you that. If that goes with being a
• 8:16
  curmudgeon. OK, I checked that box.
• 8:20
  I do want to talk about this because there's such a there's
• 8:22
  such a massive weekend for college football and I'm looking
• 8:25
  at, you know, a number of things, Heisman odds and and the
• 8:28
  big games and the new quarterbacks and blah, blah,
• 8:31
  blah. Are we sure about Arch Manning?
• 8:34
  No, absolutely not. He's athletic.
• 8:37
  He's got the right last. Name he can run.
• 8:38
  Yes he can, but we saw that a year ago.
• 8:41
  But no absolute with the lack of experience.
• 8:44
  That's just it. How he's a betting favor in the
• 8:47
  Heisman market is dumb. I I agree with you
• 8:50
  wholeheartedly. I mean, what would it take for
• 8:52
  you? And you don't wager on it
• 8:53
  because you're a voter. But if you still were, what
• 8:57
  would it take for you to? Yeah, I'm going to put down, I'm
• 9:00
  going to put down a unit on Arch to win the Heisman.
• 9:03
  Well, I don't think I would have got there because I would have
• 9:05
  done my research in advance because.
• 9:07
  Look at 25 to 131, that's kind of the range that OK, I'd be
• 9:11
  willing to jump in. There's some shots that have
• 9:14
  them, like plus 250. What a dust mire that's been
• 9:16
  there, done that, Klubnik that's been there, done that.
• 9:18
  Absolutely right. Some people say Beck, because
• 9:21
  he's been there, done that. I'm not one of them.
• 9:23
  Texas is super talented. Absolutely super talented.
• 9:26
  Trenty played one game last year against an opponent with a
• 9:29
  pulse, and I'm not sure you can say that's true about
• 9:31
  Mississippi State. They're an SEC opponent.
• 9:34
  He was 26 out of 31325. That's pretty good.
• 9:38
  But then as Georgie was 3 for six, Florida threw the ball 6
• 9:41
  times. That was it.
• 9:43
  His season ended on the 9th of November and he couldn't.
• 9:46
  He couldn't beat out Quinn Yours, who was drafted in the
• 9:49
  seventh round. That's what Spurrier said.
• 9:53
  Spurrier said it. Same thing.
• 9:54
  Are we sure he couldn't beat out a 7th rounder?
• 9:56
  Did he say that? Yeah.
• 9:58
  Spurrier's great. Yeah, he is.
• 9:59
  Where did you hear that? It was like a month ago, I think
• 10:01
  it was around maybe SCC media days, somebody was interviewing
• 10:04
  him and he said the exact same thing, right?
• 10:07
  You can't be sure. We anticipate.
• 10:10
  Just because he's a Manning. But he walks into an
• 10:13
  environment. I've told you this before, I've
• 10:15
  been to four SEC stadiums, 4 Big 12 stadiums, all the original
• 10:20
  Big 10 stadiums. There is not a louder
• 10:23
  environment that I've been in than the Shoe.
• 10:25
  I've been there twice and that for my money, I've sat at the 50
• 10:29
  yard line for Alabama, Tennessee, at Bryant Denny and
• 10:32
  it is nothing compared to Columbus.
• 10:36
  That place shakes the loudness. The big house is nothing Big
• 10:40
  house, just big. Yeah.
• 10:41
  Nice escapes, right? Yeah, Yeah.
• 10:43
  It's sunken in and that's not loud.
• 10:45
  Penn State super loud too, yeah. Was there No 9?
• 10:48
  And what are? They what a year to be there.
• 10:50
  That opening touchdown that they hit after I upset him the year
• 10:53
  before, that place was shaking. Still, for my money, number one
• 10:57
  is the shoe. Good luck Arch.
• 10:59
  That's what I'm thinking too. And this number, I mean, I, I
• 11:02
  think you, you almost have to bet Ohio State for that very
• 11:04
  reason. So where's the steam coming
• 11:06
  from? Is it a Julian saying question?
• 11:09
  Because him and what? Klein, Holtz.
• 11:11
  Yeah, it it was. It was a battle.
• 11:13
  It went we. Detold at Las Vegas, in Las
• 11:15
  Vegas, the Big 10 media guy, remember the guy that covers
• 11:17
  Ohio State for 24/7 or one of those?
• 11:20
  He said to us guys, I'm not making this up.
• 11:23
  This is a real battle. Ah, come on, it's Sage John.
• 11:27
  Ultimately, he's good. He said.
• 11:29
  Ultimately he thinks saying will prevail, but this is not a
• 11:31
  foregone conclusion. This cat said that.
• 11:33
  I can't think of his name, so it's it's absolutely was legit.
• 11:39
  But man, oh man, this is the presumptive number one choice in
• 11:42
  the next year's NFL draft. Based on what?
• 11:46
  Nothing that we've really seen. Right, he might.
• 11:49
  Come on, just tear it up. He could.
• 11:50
  He could tear it up, but based on the body of work, that's what
• 11:54
  we're betting on at this point. No, thank you.
• 11:57
  So are you got the Buckeye circled?
• 11:59
  It sounds like coming up for this.
• 12:00
  I do for that very reason, yeah. For that very reason you've been
• 12:04
  telling me about the stadium, yes, and how loud it is and
• 12:08
  where it ranks for you. And then when he did, when you
• 12:11
  dig into what he what he's done to get this anointed status that
• 12:15
  he's for whatever reason has, I mean, tap the brakes a little
• 12:19
  bit, folks. Mississippi State was God awful,
• 12:21
  God awful. Couldn't be no Quinn yours.
• 12:24
  We have a night tonight. I mean, it's so much better than
• 12:28
  what we get Friday outside of Auburn, Baylor.
• 12:30
  Yeah, see, I like a couple of Friday games.
• 12:31
  There's two, there's two big two Big 12 games at the same time.
• 12:35
  It's Colorado place tomorrow. Colorado, Georgia.
• 12:37
  Yeah, I like those two, but they're both on the, well, the
• 12:41
  Colorado was on the on the clone schedule anyways.
• 12:43
  Boise and South Florida open it up.
• 12:46
  That steam continues. And you.
• 12:47
  Know why? And you know why the steam is?
• 12:49
  It's actually because of the steam.
• 12:51
  It's the weather. It's the humidity and, and
• 12:54
  listening to somebody that lives down there and says that they've
• 12:57
  lived there for 30 years, it's never been this hot and this
• 13:00
  humid at this time of year. Never.
• 13:02
  So boy, that's what Boise's walking into.
• 13:04
  So I guess that's the reason for the number coming back.
• 13:07
  I don't know. Do you think Nebraska's walking
• 13:09
  into it? We talked with SIP yesterday.
• 13:11
  Into a into a trap? Yeah.
• 13:13
  Why do you say that? I've.
• 13:15
  Told you. There's just something about
• 13:16
  this Cincinnati team that I think adorable team, they're OK.
• 13:22
  What's the number is it? It's under a touch 6 1/2 pretty
• 13:25
  much across the board. P Yeah.
• 13:28
  Since because everybody has Nebraska here, everybody expects
• 13:31
  the the step forward, but we've. Played.
• 13:34
  It's Year 3. We've played this song and
• 13:36
  danced so many times with Nebraska for the last two
• 13:38
  decades. They go over to Ireland.
• 13:41
  Oh, it's crappy Northwestern team.
• 13:42
  Jesus. It was the only game that
• 13:45
  Northwestern won on. They didn't win one in no
• 13:48
  American soil. No, they had to do it in
• 13:50
  Ireland. I, I just maybe it's history,
• 13:53
  recent history that is playing a part of it.
• 13:56
  But. And you hope they get beat.
• 13:58
  I mean, deep down, you, you can't stand Nebraska.
• 14:02
  That's not fair. You hate.
• 14:04
  Nebraska. Yeah, I hate Nebraska.
• 14:05
  Yeah, they're fan base. There's it's not just the fan
• 14:08
  base, it's their media that bothers me too.
• 14:11
  Penn State media, Nebraska media.
• 14:12
  Those are the two that bother me more than anything.
• 14:15
  Do you think they're outposts around the Big 10 that have the
• 14:17
  same feelings about Iowa media? Iowa Media.
• 14:20
  I don't know. You don't hear the stories of
• 14:23
  cheering in the press box like you do in.
• 14:24
  Nebraska. No, you don't, thankfully.
• 14:27
  You don't have the whining like the Penn State media about
• 14:29
  everything. See, I don't I, I, I hear that
• 14:31
  from Franklin so. I and and he's a whiner on top
• 14:34
  of it. Maybe that's where they get it
• 14:35
  from. Maybe.
• 14:36
  It's I don't think you'd get that from Iowa media.
• 14:41
  Do you see that the chip? Really.
• 14:43
  I see a lot of people criticize Doc.
• 14:45
  Well, I don't know why. I don't either.
• 14:49
  I don't either. I don't see, I don't think.
• 14:50
  Like how gets those arrows shot at them?
• 14:52
  Criticism just comes with the territory.
• 14:55
  Sure. And Doc also punches back.
• 14:57
  Yeah, there are a lot of people. Just, I know I love that about
• 14:59
  him. But to your point about it, it's
• 15:02
  it's the old guard at the Omaha World Herald that I think has
• 15:07
  has paved the way for the reputation that the entire media
• 15:11
  does. Yeah, I don't think SIP fits
• 15:13
  into that. Category.
• 15:16
  He's not as bad as the most of them.
• 15:18
  No, he's, I mean, he's kind of guarded and if he says
• 15:21
  something, he's willing to tap the brakes a little bit.
• 15:25
  But some of the old guys, Chatelle and Barfnick, there's a
• 15:31
  couple other guys over there that I should remember their
• 15:33
  names. But yeah, that's they seemingly
• 15:36
  were cheerleaders. Yeah.
• 15:38
  They weren't a lot of weight. But here's the thing, though,
• 15:40
  right? I mean, good times sell
• 15:42
  newspapers. Well, they haven't had a good
• 15:44
  time since. That's true.
• 15:45
  Look what Look what's happened. The newspaper business didn't
• 15:47
  take. That was the reason.
• 15:48
  I think that's it, right? We got to the bottom of it
• 15:50
  today. The reason newspapers have
• 15:52
  failed is because Nebraska football better.
• 15:55
  But you know what it is and, and it's, it's the same here on, on
• 15:59
  talk shows, on message boards. People don't want to read bad
• 16:03
  news. You know, you can't be critical
• 16:05
  of my team. What do you know?
• 16:07
  I'm never going to listen to you again, never going to read you
• 16:09
  again, I'm going to cancel my subscription, blah, blah, blah.
• 16:11
  Heard it a million times, right? So you kind of got to be
• 16:15
  positive now in some respects. Don't have to noon to two.
• 16:20
  No you don't, that's for sure. We will take a time out.
• 16:24
  Lee Sterling is going to join us.
• 16:26
  Have you looked at the games? Are they all tonight?
• 16:28
  Did you look? At Lee's Games for tonight.
• 16:30
  Lee's games for tonight, is he going to pine on all college?
• 16:33
  Hopefully it's the whole weekend.
• 16:35
  Where's this? I'm looking for the.
• 16:36
  E-mail. I got it right here.
• 16:39
  I got it except it's too small. I'm going to need my magnifier.
• 16:42
  Well, we got games. Oh, we do.
• 16:44
  We got Wisconsin, Auburn, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Ohio State and
• 16:47
  Minnesota games, so a couple of them tonight.
• 16:49
  A lot of steam on Buffalo trend, a lot of steam on Buffalo to
• 16:52
  take on the Gophers here tonight as the Gophers in their
• 16:57
  traditional Thursday night opener.
• 16:59
  It goes back over 10 years. That long that.
• 17:02
  That long, which is, I mean, I guess the fan base is accepting
• 17:05
  of it. Personally, I like it.
• 17:08
  I like the fact we're going to see some Big 10, some Big 12
• 17:10
  action on display tonight. All right, we'll take the time
• 17:13
  out. We'll come back.
• 17:14
  Lee Sterling will join us toward the bottom of the hour.
• 17:16
  Mitch Holtis is with us in our number one.
• 17:18
  Bill Bender covers college football for The Sporting News.
• 17:21
  Where do you think he'll be on Saturday?
• 17:23
  Just down the road in Columbus. Yeah, that'll be a pretty easy
• 17:26
  trip for. Him absolutely what's the get in
• 17:28
  price? Have you seen Prices I.
• 17:30
  Haven't now that you've mentioned that.
• 17:31
  I believe it's, I mean, Texas fans got to travel, right?
• 17:33
  Yes, absolutely. You would think so this.
• 17:35
  Would be a This would be a tough ticket.
• 17:37
  Yeah, but they're going to play again in January.
• 17:39
  Yeah, no problem. Do you think?
• 17:41
  We had it last year in the semifinals.
• 17:43
  Yeah, I'm not as high in Texas as others.
• 17:47
  And it's the arch question that you opened with today.
• 17:49
  I I have those same kind of questions that I have.
• 17:51
  Where are you on Alabama? I love them.
• 17:53
  You really do love that defense A.
• 17:55
  Lot of people do it. Ty Simpson.
• 17:58
  We'll see. He's out right tomorrow, he's
• 18:00
  the D tackle. No, no, Ty Simpson.
• 18:02
  Oh, it's a new quarterback. Yeah, Right, right, right.
• 18:04
  His running back is out. Yes.
• 18:06
  Jam. I'm not sure his name.
• 18:08
  Jim Harris Jam. Something Yeah, the starting
• 18:11
  running back and the starting D tackle are both out tomorrow.
• 18:13
  I got some Bama tickets to win it all, to win the SEC Got a
• 18:16
  couple of those in the back pocket.
• 18:18
  So yeah, I'm invested. The defense, I think is going to
• 18:20
  be outstanding. I believe in Caitlin Devore too.
• 18:23
  Year 2. Culture fit, it's weird, it's
• 18:26
  different guy from Sioux Falls by way of what he did in his
• 18:30
  career, Fresno and then up to Washington.
• 18:32
  But I believe in him. I I think also getting his OC is
• 18:36
  going to help a lot too. Getting that back.
• 18:38
  I think Bama's going to be really good.
• 18:40
  And how about that Bama under the radar for once in a season?
• 18:44
  Love it and I don't and I don't recall and maybe he did when
• 18:47
  we've had Bama on taking a look at the SEC etcetera.
• 18:51
  I'm not sure does he love him? Well, I guess we'll ask him
• 18:53
  tomorrow when he joins us. All right Lee Sterling is coming
• 18:56
  up. Nicholtis will also join us.
• 18:59
  Bill Bender covers college football for the Sporting News
• 19:02
  and Joe Stacy week number one of high school football tomorrow.
• 19:06
  Joe's got a a handful of correspondence that will be
• 19:10
  fanning out around central Iowa and I'm sure he'll have call
• 19:13
  insurance from other parts around the state as well.
• 19:17
  But just we'll take we'll take a look at Joe or take a listen to
• 19:21
  Joe rather about 1:30. All right, a couple of calls
• 19:23
  real quick and then we will move on.
• 19:26
  Let's get Todd and then we'll get to Mike.
• 19:27
  Todd, welcome to the program. Todd, how are you?
• 19:31
  Good. How are you guys?
• 19:32
  Good. What's up, man?
• 19:34
  Hey, I'm not a fan of OPJ up there in Minnesota, but the
• 19:37
  Thursday Night Football game to open the season is probably one
• 19:41
  of the smartest things I think a college coach could do.
• 19:45
  You're really not going to. There's nothing that's really
• 19:47
  going to happen in in the next two days that you already don't
• 19:49
  have installed, that you already haven't prepared for in the
• 19:53
  preseason. And the team will improve the
• 19:55
  most from Week 1 to Week 2. You're giving your guys two
• 20:00
  extra days of. Prep for week. 22 extra days to
• 20:03
  get help and you get to get a set of eyeballs on the game, the
• 20:08
  actual game, the flow of the game.
• 20:10
  Not film, not cut breakdown, but the actual flow of the game.
• 20:14
  And if I was a head football coach, I would have a first
• 20:17
  game, Thursday Night Foot game every single year.
• 20:20
  No, yeah. Thank you, Todd.
• 20:21
  Appreciate the call. That's kind of why I thought
• 20:23
  South Dakota would be a pain in the you know what for Iowa State
• 20:26
  because they got to sit back and watch, but now I'm not so sure.
• 20:28
  Yeah, I was impressed by Iowa State, especially, especially
• 20:34
  the adjustments that they made. What of the the loser?
• 20:37
  Canyon that will come to you right away.
• 20:39
  The loser talk that we hear every year.
• 20:40
  Well, we won the box score. You lost the game, won the box
• 20:43
  score. And I saw plenty of that.
• 20:47
  You got a fumble on the 1 yard line, yet another race.
• 20:49
  Stop playing on the 1 yard line. Knock it off with the box score
• 20:52
  crap. You know that that easily could
• 20:54
  have been a blowout. Yeah, it's true.
• 20:56
  The box score stuff just drives me crazy.
• 20:58
  Yes, there are certain times that you look at the box score.
• 21:00
  Yes, the right team doesn't win, but it's such a loser mentality.
• 21:03
  Come on, Casey. Let's get Mike real quick.
• 21:05
  Mike, how are you? Welcome to the show.
• 21:07
  What's on your mind, Mike? Thanks for taking my call guys.
• 21:10
  I need to change the subject from baseball and football, but
• 21:13
  real earth breaking news today. I don't know if you heard it,
• 21:16
  but getting to GM McCoy from West Des Moines won the US
• 21:21
  Senior Amateur Championship today.
• 21:24
  He becomes the first player in history to win both the US
• 21:28
  Amateur and the US Mid Amateur. And not only that, we had two
• 21:34
  other players made the final 16 for the Senior Amateur.
• 21:37
  I believe Joe Palmer and Gene Mccommer is dealing.
• 21:42
  With. Yeah, and Gene Elliott.
• 21:44
  So we have representation in the tournament from the state of
• 21:48
  Iowa and a great job that Chad Pitts and all the people at the
• 21:51
  Iowa Golf Association are doing. And we got some great young
• 21:54
  players too. You don't have just have to be
• 21:55
  an old fart to play good in Iowa.
• 21:57
  So, Mike, enjoy the show, guys. I want to let you know that.
• 22:01
  I appreciate you changing. With all the guy.
• 22:02
  Absolutely. I appreciate you changing the
• 22:04
  subject and we're going to give those guys their due.
• 22:06
  Thank you, Mike. Appreciate that.
• 22:08
  I. Heard nothing but great things
• 22:09
  is about Mike McCoy too and in the golf community and what he
• 22:11
  has met. So big congratulations there.
• 22:14
  That is a big win and a. Historic.
• 22:16
  And how about Joe Palmer? Yes, I.
• 22:18
  Haven't seen Joe in a. While Palmer's Deli, yes, I wish
• 22:21
  they wouldn't have closed up shop in Ankeny.
• 22:23
  Oh yeah, yeah, I wish they would.
• 22:24
  We got this one right around. The no I know I like it there,
• 22:26
  but the one in Ankeny was it was perfect spot.
• 22:28
  But Ankeny, everything's good in Ankeny I.
• 22:30
  Guess. And you know what the best part
• 22:32
  about it was? It wasn't on Delaware.
• 22:35
  That's a nightmare. Oh, it's a nightmare.
• 22:38
  Millery Condon, least early, next underway on a Thursday.
• 22:41
  It's the Iowa Sports Radio Network.
• 22:51
  I just passed 12:30 on a Thursday.
• 22:54
  Miller and Condon, Iowa Sports Radio Network, wherever you're
• 22:57
  listening in the state of Iowa, grateful that you are.
• 23:00
  We will take you until 2O clock. Voice of the Chiefs, Mitch
• 23:03
  Holtis joining us coming up in about 15 minutes.
• 23:06
  The Chiefs vacate Arrowhead and in come the Huskers and the
• 23:10
  Bearcats tonight. We'll get to that one.
• 23:12
  Lee Sterling, paramountsports.com, he joins
• 23:14
  us. Got a handful of games to opine
• 23:16
  on tonight. Also his game of the week, which
• 23:19
  coincidentally is also tonight. We'll get to that.
• 23:22
  You ready to go, Lee Sterling? I am.
• 23:25
  I am. It's this is the day we've all
• 23:28
  been waiting for. And we've got you guys got a
• 23:31
  game starts at 4:30. Yes, Sir.
• 23:34
  State in South Florida. So I get invited to a party this
• 23:37
  weekend. On Saturday night, my wife
• 23:40
  looked at me and she goes, I guess we're sending a nice
• 23:43
  parting gift, right? I'm like, yeah.
• 23:46
  Football's here. This.
• 23:47
  Is real quick because you're based in the state of Florida.
• 23:51
  There's there's a lot of steam on this Boise State line South
• 23:53
  Florida getting a lot of love and apparently Lee it's based on
• 23:57
  the fact that it's hot and it's humid and it hasn't been like
• 24:01
  that maybe in two decades. I'm told the humidity is just
• 24:04
  unbearable. Do you think that's what's
• 24:06
  moving the point spread as much as it is?
• 24:08
  How bad is it? My dog doesn't even make it way
• 24:12
  down the block. So it's, it's, it's, it is
• 24:15
  brutal. You go out anytime after like 10
• 24:18
  in the morning until like 8:00 at night.
• 24:20
  It's it's just they should have moved this game to later in the
• 24:23
  night, But it it should be an advance.
• 24:25
  What's crazy is, you know, South Florida has started games, a lot
• 24:30
  of games strong and just not finished game.
• 24:32
  So I mean, they're going to try to go, you know, real fast here
• 24:36
  in this game. And we'll see if if if they can
• 24:39
  hold up through four quarters, But I think it certainly should
• 24:42
  be an advantage for South Florida who looks like finally
• 24:45
  might have some some depth here. Well, we've had some
• 24:48
  disagreement here on this show on the Wisconsin Badgers this
• 24:51
  season. Incredibly difficult schedule.
• 24:53
  Not the case of week number one against Miami of Ohio Tonight,
• 24:56
  the Badgers laying 17 1/2 against the RedHawks.
• 25:00
  Yeah. And and I think that they'll be
• 25:02
  a little bit better, but still you know they they few stand out
• 25:06
  receivers. They're the running game has
• 25:08
  been slipping. They they're two and five
• 25:12
  against the spread in non conference games under fickle.
• 25:16
  It's a good thing in my Ohio starting offensive line and
• 25:19
  skilled position group is is practically brand new here.
• 25:22
  But you know, breaking a new quarterback, Billy Edwards,
• 25:25
  who's decent, I don't think he's a world breaker.
• 25:28
  Also a new offensive coordinator, Jeff Grimes.
• 25:30
  But Miami of Ohio, you know, they usually come to play for
• 25:33
  these games. And if they're in it, they'll
• 25:35
  keep their starters. And they're 21 and 21 the last
• 25:38
  10 years as a road dog. I think the lines are a little
• 25:40
  high. I think Wisconsin wins 2816 but
• 25:44
  Miami of Ohio covers. Good stuff.
• 25:45
  Well, here's a here's a real interesting game.
• 25:48
  SEC versus Big 12, Auburn on the road.
• 25:50
  A 2 1/2 point favorite against those Baylor Bears?
• 25:53
  Lee Sterling. Well, Baylor returns 18 players.
• 25:57
  A lot of people are excited about that, but look at their
• 25:59
  schedule. They didn't beat anyone and
• 26:01
  normally teams that win 8-9 games, they've got 3035 sacks.
• 26:05
  They only had 23 sacks. Their defense gave up 35.5 times
• 26:09
  last year. I think that Jackson Arnold
• 26:12
  might show out pretty good here. He had no offensive line
• 26:15
  receivers last year. Auburn in my opinion has top
• 26:17
  five receiving core and they're going against the Baylor pass
• 26:21
  defense. It was ranked 60th last year,
• 26:23
  might even be worse this year. Auburn, I think they are the
• 26:26
  right side, they're the right team Is favored here 3123.
• 26:29
  It'll lay it with the Tigers. Let's go next.
• 26:32
  Well, we know your affinity for EU Time to dust off those
• 26:34
  Catholics versus Convicts shirts.
• 26:36
  It's Miami. It's Notre Dame.
• 26:38
  What do you got in this one? The Irish favored by 2 1/2.
• 26:42
  Well, the place is going to be jumping.
• 26:43
  I mean, you you turn on the TV most games you see 25,000 empty
• 26:46
  seats, but it's going to be 65,000 plus.
• 26:50
  And if you just watch some of the interviews from these Notre
• 26:53
  Dame kids who played in that 2017 game, they'll tell you it
• 26:57
  was probably the toughest venue they ever played in.
• 26:59
  I mean, you play a night game in Miami in that place where they
• 27:02
  have looks like, you know, old Texas Stadium where the the
• 27:07
  sound just reverberates and people are drinking.
• 27:10
  They're opening up the gates at 8:00 in the morning, tailgating
• 27:13
  for the 730 start Now. Miami's going to be different.
• 27:17
  Carson Beck, a lot different than Cam Ward, not going to run
• 27:20
  around as much but going to go more with power football.
• 27:23
  But they say he's 100%. They have a top five offensive
• 27:27
  line and a really good not set, maybe 3.
• 27:31
  The trio, running backs, receivers aren't quite there,
• 27:33
  but I think it's the defense. It's going to show such, such
• 27:38
  better play. Last year they couldn't stop
• 27:40
  anyone. They brought in Corey Heatherman
• 27:42
  from Minnesota who did a great job with mediocre talent there.
• 27:46
  So I think that might be their MVPI.
• 27:48
  Think CJ Carr is watching the spring game for the Irish?
• 27:51
  He looks good. That's why they didn't go in the
• 27:53
  transfer portal. But do you want to start a kid
• 27:56
  off his first snaps ever in college football at Miami?
• 28:00
  No siree, wrong team favorite Miami 2320.
• 28:04
  The only caveat? Watch the weather.
• 28:06
  There's a chance it might be raining for 48 hours straight.
• 28:10
  If that's the case, maybe look to the under under 51 1/2 total
• 28:14
  points. Good stuff, sloppy contagion,
• 28:16
  and there's been a lot of steam certainly on that.
• 28:18
  Has there been late game tonight?
• 28:20
  Late 8:00 our time. It's at Arrowhead Stadium where
• 28:23
  it'll be, I'm told, from Stephen Sipple over in Nebraska, 90%
• 28:27
  Husker fans in the building. Huskers just under a touchdown
• 28:31
  favorite over the Big 12 Cincinnati Bearcats.
• 28:34
  I think he think he's understating it'll, I think to
• 28:37
  be about 92.6% Nebraska fans. But yeah, it's the Big Red.
• 28:43
  They travel here and, and I love what they did late in the year,
• 28:46
  4 games to go, brought in Dana Holgerson.
• 28:49
  You know, he wasn't a great head coach, but look what he did as
• 28:51
  an offensive coordinator. He brought an Oklahoma State
• 28:54
  team one year from 70th and yards per game to #3 first year
• 28:58
  West Virginia brought the Mountaineers to winning the Big
• 29:02
  East championship and playing in the Orange Bowl.
• 29:04
  Just much better as an offensive coordinator than head coach.
• 29:07
  And Nebraska also wear top 20 recruiting class and transfer
• 29:12
  class, which they haven't done a long, long time.
• 29:14
  So Cincinnati just didn't have the game Breakers on offense.
• 29:17
  They need too many long methodical drives.
• 29:20
  They turn the ball over, commit too many dump penalties here.
• 29:24
  And they're 5 and 15 straight up versus power conference team.
• 29:27
  And Scott Satterfield's two season here.
• 29:29
  They need a breakthrough. Not happening tonight.
• 29:32
  Nebraska 30 to 20. Game of the Week Ohio State,
• 29:35
  Texas #1 versus #2 in the coaches poll.
• 29:38
  Buckeyes in the Shoe. A2 point choice.
• 29:41
  Yeah, Ohio State won that game 2814 and semifinal last year.
• 29:45
  But let's look deeper at that game.
• 29:47
  They Texas was knocking on the door 1st and goal from the one
• 29:50
  down 7 points less than 4 minutes ago and that got gun paw
• 29:56
  sweep had to be one of the worst goals ever.
• 29:58
  But even on top of that, I mean they were able to hang in the
• 30:03
  game without their top 2 receivers or top receiver was
• 30:06
  hurt before the playoffs or their best receiver at the time
• 30:09
  was hurt early in that game. Now some things have changed.
• 30:13
  Even though the game's being played in the horseshoe of Ohio
• 30:16
  State will be without 7 or top 9 tacklers from last year.
• 30:19
  No Jack Sawyer to rescue them here.
• 30:22
  Got Arch Manning the matchup versus Julian saying and I think
• 30:25
  that's a mismatch. They're saying from what I hear
• 30:28
  is not look good in fall camp and Texas also returns both of
• 30:31
  their coordinators. They've been there for five
• 30:33
  years and 40 acres and both Ohio State coordinators are new here.
• 30:37
  I think in every position except for receiver, Texas is better.
• 30:42
  Wrong team favor Texas outright 2420.
• 30:45
  Bonus wrong team favorite in week number one with the
• 30:48
  Sterling your game of the week. It's tonight Lee Minnesota.
• 30:51
  They're the curtains going up in the Twin Cities, the 17 8 1/2
• 30:55
  point favorite over Buffalo, a lot of steam on Buffalo's The
• 30:59

• 32:19
  Miller and Condon on the Iowa Sports Radio Network.
• 32:24
  Hi Miller and Condon. Welcome back.
• 32:26
  Iowa Sports Radio Network. Trent Condon, Ken Miller, our
• 32:29
  final daily Chiefs training camp report.
• 32:31
  Can thank the Donaldsons Papa John throughout the state of
• 32:34
  Iowa enough for making this possible throughout the month of
• 32:38
  August. And Lee joins us for the final
• 32:40
  time and then he'll join us. Lee Mitch joins us for the Lee
• 32:43
  Sterling was just with us. Mitch better for the mistake.
• 32:46
  But Mitch will join Us Weekly during the regular season with
• 32:49
  the exception of the bye week and he is back with us.
• 32:53
  When do you guys leave? First of all, Mitch, when do you
• 32:55
  guys get on the big bird and travel all those hours to get
• 32:59
  there? Is it Tuesday or will you leave
• 33:00
  Monday? We'll leave Wednesday, actually.
• 33:04
  Yeah, Yep, Yep. And it's 11 hour flight, you
• 33:06
  lose 2 hours. Sao Paulo's actually a hour
• 33:11
  ahead of like New York time. So yeah, it's going to be, and
• 33:17
  we've sent a lot of our equipment already down there.
• 33:20
  So yeah, it's a, it's a task I don't mind telling you for our
• 33:25
  people. And they're just coming off, you
• 33:28
  know, they have to move everything to camp, move
• 33:30
  everything back. We had two Rd. trips to Arizona
• 33:35
  and Seattle. And now to spend all of it down
• 33:38
  there, we're like we're taxing our equipment and our support
• 33:41
  people for the players and coaches and our scouts.
• 33:45
  Like it's, it's been a lot. I don't mind telling you a lot
• 33:48
  of folks have spent a lot of hours.
• 33:50
  We'll get to Beach in just a second.
• 33:51
  We've got some sound on him. Just the news from yesterday.
• 33:54
  Rashid Rice knew it was coming, just didn't know when it was
• 33:57
  going to come or how long it was going to be. 6 games to
• 34:00
  suspension for Rashid Rice. Who's going to play a big role
• 34:03
  in that offence once he's on the field?
• 34:05
  How big of a blow, Mitch? Well, it's a it's a it's a big
• 34:10
  blow, but we're kind of that's and it's a little bit of the if
• 34:14
  we could capsulize these 20 plus reports I've done.
• 34:18
  It's not where it's insurmountable and the chiefs of
• 34:22
  a talent roster, deep roster. It would be nice to have him.
• 34:26
  The irony here is it was a year ago in 2024, in August, I talked
• 34:30
  about the excitement of having Xavier Worthy with Hollywood
• 34:33
  Brown and with Rusty Rice, and we've never had all three of
• 34:38
  them on the field yet. It's stupid.
• 34:41
  I mean, this is a year and a half.
• 34:42
  It'll be almost two years. Well, yeah, year and a half
• 34:45
  until we get it done. But so we got to figure out a
• 34:48
  way to win without him. It's not like, oh, gosh, we're
• 34:51
  doomed without him. But yeah, it's a it's a
• 34:54
  challenge. The other thing I was going to
• 34:56
  tell you guys, but oh, God, go ahead.
• 34:58
  Sorry. No, no, go ahead, Mitch.
• 35:00
  Well, the 53 man rosters out that I just did a podcast
• 35:04
  literally got done with Matt McMullen and it came to you guys
• 35:08
  that don't chisel it in stone and put it on the Iowa State
• 35:12
  Capitol because it can change as early as me hanging up with you
• 35:17
  guys. I kid you not.
• 35:19
  And then I want to get into the practice squad.
• 35:20
  But listen to Brett Beach when I asked him about that.
• 35:23
  In fact, we had a little sat down this morning with him in
• 35:26
  the fact that this could change in an instant.
• 35:29
  Well, I think every offseason has its unique challenges and
• 35:34
  this one was no different. You know, I think we were really
• 35:37
  excited with what we were able to do both in frequency in the
• 35:39
  draft, key acquisitions on the offense line, bringing and
• 35:43
  retaining some pieces like a Charles Omena who and then Nick
• 35:47
  Bolton. I think like every year, though,
• 35:50
  you're always trying to fine tune this thing.
• 35:52
  Our mindset is just trying to get 1% better every day and like
• 35:55
  we're always wired to hit the accelerator and look to to add
• 36:00
  talent. So I feel like we have a
• 36:02
  talented team and we have good depth, but like every year I
• 36:06
  always feel like there's room for improvement.
• 36:08
  And they're continuing to look for that improvement.
• 36:11
  And I'm serious, could be a trade roster move.
• 36:15
  The other thing I was going to tell you guys is the role of the
• 36:17
  practice squad. The practice squad.
• 36:20
  And I asked Vich about this today, don't have his quote, but
• 36:23
  it's now become part developmental and part
• 36:27
  strategic. There's three guys when we
• 36:29
  didn't put Robert Tonya in our first 53, there were people
• 36:33
  crashing cars from Pleasantville time.
• 36:35
  Oh, I don't know, you know, till to Clarinda and like what?
• 36:39
  Because he had an awesome preseason, but we put him on
• 36:42
  practice squad. He's can be protected.
• 36:44
  No people can take him. He's a vested veteran.
• 36:47
  Another one is Mike Edwards. Another one is Paul Christensen.
• 36:50
  You have 3 elevations with those guys.
• 36:52
  I could see Tanyan going to her 53 with the announcement of
• 36:55
  Russia, Rice being suspended. But the point is the practice
• 36:58
  squad for all 32 teams now has become strategic.
• 37:03
  And where you get players that if they're a vested veteran and
• 37:07
  don't have to go through waivers, you put them on the
• 37:10
  practice squad. And in essence, like a guy that
• 37:12
  plays for the Iowa Cubs who can be called up to the big league
• 37:15
  team at any second. And so the practice squad is
• 37:18
  very strategic now. What about cap space?
• 37:21
  It seems like it. As I mentioned to you on
• 37:23
  Tuesday, Brett Beach is just such a wizard when it comes to
• 37:27
  figuring out that salary cap situation.
• 37:29
  But where are the Chiefs going into the season and how much
• 37:31
  flexibility if something pops up, would they be able to to do
• 37:34
  maybe during the season? Yeah, better than we've been.
• 37:37
  Now, we have had some big deals here with Trey Smith's deal, a
• 37:43
  lot of these deals. And I don't have the exact
• 37:45
  figure. I'm not looking at slow track
• 37:47
  right now to tell you the snapshot of it.
• 37:49
  But it's not like we're, you know, 100,000 or 1,000,000 over
• 37:54
  and we've got to freak out. But what what Beach always wants
• 37:58
  to do? Here's what's important, and I
• 38:00
  think this is part of the answer to your question, Trent, is that
• 38:03
  Brett Beach always wants to have some petty cash in the right
• 38:05
  front drawer, meaning some teams get so strapped or overcap or
• 38:10
  have to make drastic moves that they don't have any kind of
• 38:14
  wiggle room to make a move later in the season.
• 38:16
  You have got to save some cap room to add someone in November
• 38:20
  and December, let's say, for the stretch run.
• 38:22
  We've done it with Carlos Dunlap, we've done it with
• 38:26
  Gordon. We've done it with several
• 38:28
  different guys. And so he always wants to have
• 38:32
  just a bit of room so he can make a move later in the year.
• 38:36
  Got to have it absolutely do. Well, let's talk about Speaking
• 38:38
  of, got to have, got to have dinner.
• 38:40
  Got to have, you know, it's a football weekend, starts
• 38:42
  tonight, college. What a weekend.
• 38:44
  And the Donaldsons, they've come up with a beauty of a special
• 38:48
  here, Mitch. Oh yeah, the mobile tent, the
• 38:50
  mobile R&D truck is headed to Marshalltown, it said.
• 38:54
  If you find it Marshalltown, but it's under Armed Guard 2 one
• 39:00
  topping large pizzas, 21 topping large pizzas 999 each.
• 39:05
  Now, if you're going to have a blowout football party, do it
• 39:08
  every day of the week this week and high school and college and
• 39:12
  go for it. But a 999 for two what large 1
• 39:16
  tops is one of their best deals ever.
• 39:18
  So love the Donaldson's. They make this possible.
• 39:22
  They're the greatest Tom and Matt and all their managers and
• 39:24
  all their stores. But Papa John's.
• 39:26
  When you buy a Papa John's pizza in Iowa, you're doing more than
• 39:29
  just get great pizza. You're dealing with a group of
• 39:32
  folks who love the area and do so much in return.
• 39:36
  We will hear you on tape next week and then you'll be back for
• 39:39
  week #2 well, no, it's just the Eagles to pay a visit to
• 39:43
  Arrowhead. We'll have you live on Thursday
• 39:45
  of that week. Mitch.
• 39:46
  Have a safe flight over to Brazil.
• 39:48
  We'll certainly be watching and listening.
• 39:51
  And thanks for what you do for us, Mitch.
• 39:52
  Trent and I and the audience greatly appreciate it.
• 39:54
  Thank you, Mitch. You got it guys.
• 39:56
  I get tons of feedback now across the state.
• 39:58
  So it's it's awesome good stuff. We'll keep rolling.
• 40:01
  Here we go. It's.
• 40:01
