0:39
our number one, Bill Seals covers Iowa State.
0:42
They'll kick off the second hour of the program.
0:45
We'll talk Iowa State with Bill, football, basketball, both men's
0:48
and women's and then again Rob Dosser, boys, he been good to
0:52

0:53
Back with us recapping the Final Four from Saturday and then
0:57
taking a look ahead to what we can expect tonight is Michigan
1:01
and UConn will collide for a national champion.
1:04
Point spreads about 7, a couple of six and a halfs, 6 and a
1:06
halfs in the market still out there, but for the most part,
1:10
sevens everywhere else. We'll get that tonight.
1:14
Masters coming up this weekend. Matt Rudy will join us in the
1:16
middle of the week as he always does.
1:18
The preview of the first of golf's 4 majors and away we go.
1:22
How are you, Trent Condon? How was Easter with the family?
1:25
It was great yes, got to hang out.
1:27
The Easter Bunny made his way to the homestead.
1:30
So yes, late night outside and away we went.
1:34
That's. What you do?
1:34
We hide them outside. Yeah, yeah, the the eggs are
1:37
outside. So the Bunny got out there
1:38
hopping around and making that happen, and away we go.
1:41
Now spring felt like spring finally yesterday for a while.
1:44
That was very nice. Yeah.
1:45
In the afternoon, as the front can.
1:47
Win though. It was getting you, wasn't it?
1:49
Oh. Just drives me nuts.
1:51
But we're here and as we will put the cap on, of course,
1:54
college basketball here tonight. The women are in the book after
1:57
yesterday. What a.
1:58
Disappointing game. And then it's the masters.
2:00
And then it's time for you to shine as hockey and.
2:04
And the NFL. Draft, the NFL draft,
2:07
absolutely. So lot going on here still.
2:09
It's still a very busy time before things really slow down,
2:14
May, June, But we got the transfer portal we do, and
2:16
that's going to be big for really all four programs that
2:20
matter the most, both the women and the men for Iowa and Iowa
2:23
State, a lot of intriguing angles to look at.
2:25
There, no. And a couple of a couple of
2:27
really good players from one from the Big 10, one for the Big
2:30
12. Haggerty from K State, far and
2:32
away their best player. He's in.
2:34
Blackwell from Wisconsin, he's in.
2:37
These guys are going to get paid.
2:39
And it's just the beginning of the, I don't know, on an
2:42
onslaught. We'll see where it goes or where
2:45
it ends, but it's buckle up. As you said, it's going to be a
2:49
crazy couple of a couple of weeks, certainly to see, you
2:52
know, as everybody tries to replenish their roster.
2:55
Is Ben Mccomb's contract done? I, I see conflicting things that
2:59
it's getting close. Remember that during the run.
3:02
It's, I don't know if it's true or not.
3:04
It's it's on X that that they started to I think Beth Getz
3:09
came out and apparently was quoted as saying that they're
3:12
working on working on something. Do we, do we know how close they
3:16
are? I'm not saying he's going
3:17
anywhere. I think it'd be all speculation
3:19
at this point. This point, OK, we'll ask Guy
3:21
Colt if he's got anything or not, but I would anticipate that
3:24
that's being done behind the scenes.
3:26
So let's recap some basketball. Let's go back to Friday night.
3:29
And obviously, unfortunately and and it does over shadow South
3:34
Carolina's convincing win over the free square.
3:38
Good God, we got it again. Duke Final Four UConn women just
3:41
cinches. Absolutely.
3:43
Put them in there. Yep.
3:44
Build that championship parlay. You bet a little.
3:46
You're gonna make a ton. Yep, you just gotta put a couple
3:49
of those keys in there. This is the easy part.
3:51
This is how you do it, folks. Probably forget it that, aren't
3:55
we? My good God absolutely destroyed
4:00
Colorado. You better win the Stanley Cup.
4:02
Do you know I believe, where this started, with you and me
4:05
putting together these championship parlays?
4:07
Do you remember? I do.
4:09
I remember when. Did one of us hit?
4:11
No, we saw a few of them. We would talk about them on our
4:14
TV show Inside the Numbers on Mediacom, and they kind of pop
4:17
from time to time. And we were talking about four
4:20
years ago, the South Carolina women.
4:22
Oh, I do remember that part, yes.
4:24
And I remember you came in one morning like I got it.
4:28
I, I got it figured out. And I'm like there's.
4:31
Not any mornings I've come in in that frame of mind, right?
4:34
And I was like, that's it. Hell of an idea.
4:36
I'm going to do the same thing. So I'll put together this with
4:38
the NBA championship, a college basketball, maybe throw a Super
4:42
Bowl, whatever it was. We started building these things
4:45
building. And almost every one of them had
4:47
South Carolina that year. And then 22 showed up in Dallas
4:51
and completely changed that. And I was glad to lose those
4:54
tickets, and I know you were too.
4:56
Yes, but four years later, here we are again.
4:59
Well, this is another easy one. We're right back at it again
5:02
with this Yukon team. They're going to dominate their
5:04
and, no and and on a Friday night.
5:06
Trent, they got destroyed. They got manhandled.
5:09
They did. Physically manhandled, and
5:11
that's what Dawn Staley's teams can do to you is completely take
5:14
you out of it physically and they did that.
5:18
In a way it is unfortunate. It is.
5:20
And I think I think that showed up again on Sunday, yesterday in
5:25
the championship game. It's just all the inertia, all
5:28
the extra that goes into he just didn't win a game.
5:32
It's the extra layers that go into it and how that just
5:36
impacts the clubhouse, the locker room.
5:39
Those things, they do matter and they're things that we can't
5:42
measure analytically. They're not things that you can
5:45
put something quantitative on and say this is going to happen,
5:48
so this is going to happen, but you can see it.
5:51
And that's why these are not robots.
5:53
These are not just algorithms out there playing.
5:55
These are people and the people I believe were impacted of what
5:59
happened. Now, credit to UCLA.
6:02
And I was so excited for that game.
6:04
And it just, it wasn't a game. They were completely taken out.
6:07
But back to Friday night. How do?
6:10
You support this guy? It's.
6:12
Seriously, I know he, I guess he wins.
6:15
And if you in an alum, I mean, you're, you're going to look the
6:18
other way, put your head in the sand because that's what fans
6:20
do. But how do you support this guy?
6:24
What a fool he made of himself. He has been this guy though for
6:31
30 years. But I don't think that, yes, he
6:34
has of without a doubt, yes. But the country saw just how bad
6:38
it can get, and it was terrible, absolutely.
6:41
Terrible and then during the final four you have all the
6:44
commercials on Saturday rolling with him with whatever was
6:46
healthy gardener with you're right and talk about just cringe
6:49
worthy. Like I the first time my wife
6:51
saw it, I just looked over at her face and I I thought she was
6:53
going to throw up right just see him and just absolutely
6:58
despicable in a moment like that.
6:59
Your undefeated team got their ass 1 and that's your reaction
7:04
to be upset? First of all, handshake before
7:06
the game. Right and first of all, it was
7:08
bad when Holly was in Holly Roll Yeah right.
7:11
That that interview him after the third quarter or sometime
7:14
prior to the fourth quarter talked about the calls and if
7:17
you could only hear some of the stuff that's coming up, really
7:19
you're going to throw another coach under the bus for her
7:22
language. That's how you're going to use
7:24
your time in front of the in front of the camera to talk
7:27
about how the the game's going. Like, I mean, I guess the game
7:30
wasn't going very well, but good God.
7:33
And then even yesterday, because the game was a blowout, it kind
7:36
of trickled back into it. If the game would have been
7:38
competitive, then maybe the Yukon, South Carolina, I turned
7:42
it off. I turned it off.
7:44
It was over after midway through the third quarter and I turned
7:46
it. Well, I did turn off.
7:47
I turned a baseball. The Cubs are another story.
7:50
Got that Bullpen's awful. My good.
7:52
I know we're nine games into it, but the Jesus I don't know
7:54
what's worse them are the blow Jays who gets swept by the God
7:58
forsaken Chicago White Sox. What an embarrassing weekend for
8:01
the defending American League champion.
8:03
There's. A lot of bad bullpens, of
8:05
course, my Twins, we anticipated were going to be bad.
8:08
How about the Nationals? Mike Palm came with that us that
8:10
nugget on Friday. And I have jumped aboard on the
8:12
overs of national games 'cause they can swing it.
8:15
Their bullpit yesterday, they're up 62, they lose 86, they're
8:18
going to the 8th. They're up 6, two against the
8:21
Dodgers and they lose 86. And I think 8 1/2 was the total
8:24
in that one. It was cruised over.
8:25
Took a while to get there, but I'm going to be playing that
8:28
angle I think a lot this season. But yeah, bullpens overall.
8:31
Back to Friday, though. Don Staley, did you see the clip
8:34
from back behind the South Carolina bench?
8:37
Yes, I did see that, yes. She's going to whoop Gino's ass.
8:41
And she would. She absolutely would.
8:43
I mean, she's a -. 250 favorite in that fight.
8:45
I'm taking Don Staley every single day of that one and I'm
8:48
laying the lumber with Don Staley.
8:50
But to have an incredible performance overshadowed by that
8:55
and a guy that's a whiner and a complainer.
8:57
And if he's so worried about decorum, if that's what his
9:01
sticking point was, was the decorum of it, I mean, he's
9:04
lying. He's lying.
9:06
He's upset that he got his butt kit.
9:07
That's how it is. That's all that this is.
9:11
But did his team then shake hands afterwards?
9:14
So decorum only matters in this one instance.
9:16
I didn't see that they didn't shake hands.
9:18
After he didn't know. He didn't, I know, but did the
9:21
teams well. He worries about decorum.
9:23
They go shake their hands, go congratulate the team.
9:25
Saw him that just beat your undefeated team.
9:28
Yeah, only matters for a pregame handshake at the Final Four.
9:32
That's what matters, apparently, to the liar, the scumbag Gina
9:37
Orion. And it's unfortunate.
9:38
There he is. I'm watching walk off the floor.
9:40
It's on the yes. It's on.
9:41
What's this McAfee right now? Well done, UCLA, you deserve
9:45
your flowers. Unfortunately, it's going to be
9:47
overshadowed Just how dominant that they were going to be
9:51
overshadowed. Let's get to the men from from
9:53
Saturday night. First game was better of the
9:55
two, yes, as far as competitive game being.
9:59
Did you feel like Illinois was getting?
10:02
Over the hump. I did.
10:03
I did. I thought that they had a chance
10:05
when they cut it to four. I want to say, Yep, cut it to
10:08
four late in the game. I thought, you know, here's the
10:10
chance to come back, but then. Because that was the second time
10:13
you kind of got a scoring slot, yes, Yep, you can handle one.
10:17
But now you're going through it again.
10:20
But they found a way. They did.
10:21
They did find a way and and hats off to him, hats off to Danny
10:25
Hurley, hats off to that team. It's a fun team to watch play.
10:29
I don't know how much fun they're going to have tonight.
10:31
We shall see. Remains to be seen because this
10:34
Michigan outfits rent. You know what it reminded me of?
10:37
It reminds me of how I kind of felt back in the The Players Era
10:42
tournament to Las Vegas when they were just so damn dominant.
10:46
They look like they're at that again.
10:49
We'll see where it goes. Obviously there's some health
10:51
concerns that that you've got to pay attention to.
10:55
With Len Borg, how many minutes did he play 14?
10:59
Is that what it was? Yeah, that's off the top of my
11:02
head. What it was.
11:02
Let me click on the box score here. 15 is what they have.
11:06
Yeah, it came back out there. Hit a couple of threes, like,
11:09
all right. But that's all he wanted to do,
11:11
Simi, because I was paying close attention to him.
11:13
It's not like he was getting real involved.
11:16
And it sounds like there's real concerns like like.
11:20
Jefferson concerns. I don't think that I think he's
11:23
going to make it a go, but how? Because he walked on, you could
11:25
pull away. I mean, Jefferson, he was helped
11:27
off the floor. Impactful this is going to be, I
11:30
think that is going to be a question, but.
11:32
If they were playing Rutgers tonight in February, he wouldn't
11:35
play. Right.
11:36
Yeah, absolutely. And there was some also some
11:38
talk afterwards that there were some maybe handlers that weren't
11:41
exactly excited about him. Stop.
11:42
Talking though that he said it out of his own mouth, his mom
11:45
and his agent. I'm so glad you reminded me of
11:49
that. I, I guess it's the era that
11:51
we're in right, but he was asked after the game.
11:54
He said, well, my mom didn't want me to go back in my agent.
11:57
They were texting my mom and my agent were saying, you know,
11:59
don't go back in the game. I wanted to go back in.
12:01
I mean, really, that's where we're at now that you're getting
12:05
texts in the locker room from mom and they're looking out for
12:09
your and their best interests for sure.
12:13
But it just, it just struck me as odd.
12:16
You know, one thing, 1 angle as watching that unfold and Arizona
12:21
gets it back to seven. Oh, maybe right back to 13.
12:24
Just snap over the finger just as quickly as that is.
12:28
All right, 2 great front lines going up against each other.
12:31
I guess the angle that maybe I miss most that I shouldn't have
12:34
is Michigan can beat you a bunch of different ways.
12:37
There's kind of 1 angle for Arizona.
12:39
It's Bradley off the bounce and then the big front line.
12:42
Will you negate that? Frontline Bradley gets in foul
12:44
trouble. They don't have a counter punch
12:46
to that. Bradley picked up with his third
12:49
foul. Did you like the third foul?
12:51
I didn't like it either. He did put yeah.
12:54
When the whistle went, you knew what it was.
12:56
Good. I know, I know.
12:57
And you knew. That I just didn't like the
12:58
whistle. I'm with you.
13:00
But if you're going to blow the whistle, that has to be the
13:02
call. No, I agree.
13:03
I just was kind of hoping they'd I know because for competitive
13:06
sake of. Right.
13:08
It wasn't a game, Yes, it was the player of the year in the
13:10
Big 12. And that frontline crevas looked
13:14
awful. He did.
13:15
Dribbling into trouble, trying to do way too much the.
13:18
Other kid Karchenkov. A berries.
13:20
Now, I know a lot of them were late when they were just
13:22
hoisting, but he was completely out of sorts.
13:25
This Michigan squad, they are deep, they are talented, they
13:29
can beat you a bunch of different ways.
13:30
But if there is one team, you know, you know what, I think
13:33
it's one coach. There it is.
13:35
You said it's correct, Yes. Not one team, one coach that can
13:39
come up here. We'll talk a little bit more
13:41
about the game plan and kind of how this sets up here, but
13:44
that's the one angle to it. It's Hurley.
13:47
It's Hurley on the sideline. You talk about already 2
13:50
national championships, three Final Fours in four years, but
13:53
you do this, You talk about completely different
13:56
stratosphere. This is by far the best coaching
13:59
performance if he can. Without a doubt.
14:00
Even have his team with a. Shot to get there.
14:03
Final 10 minutes, you got a shot.
14:04
That's a great coaching job in its.
14:06
Own going back to knocking out Duke the way that they did and
14:08
then taking care of Illinois and we'll see.
14:11
I thought we were going to be ticketed for Big 10 versus Big
14:15
10, but it's going to be a Big 10 versus a Big East.
14:19
And away we will go. Again.
14:21
The number's about 7:00. What time's it tip?
14:23
10 minutes to 8? Is that what I saw 750?
14:25
75750 Our time. That's not brutal.
14:28
So that'll be over by 10:30. By the way, I don't know what
14:32
they can do. I don't know what the answer is.
14:35
I know what the answer isn't. The chain smokers.
14:38
And did you happen to be watching television?
14:41
The actual guys on the set? And by the way, what a
14:43
difference Ernie Johnson makes. Night and frickin day.
14:47
No offense. Nate Brilson.
14:49
James Naismith. Yeah, yeah, the guy from SNL
14:53
playing the character. I have no idea who was.
14:54
Is that what he's in SNL? Well, he was 20 years ago, yeah.
14:59
I could just feel how uncomfortable it was for
15:03
everybody squirming in their seats on the panel.
15:06
A It wasn't funny. No, not in the least.
15:09
And that's what it was meant to be.
15:10
And I just, I mean, if you're Barkley or you're the Jet or
15:14
you're Ernie, you don't want to be there for that.
15:16
No. Right that was terrible and then
15:19
the chain smoke. I've I've heard of them just
15:21
because of their name. I couldn't tell you one song
15:24
that they. Sing and I'm sure you've heard
15:25
them. Do you think?
15:27
There's probably four or five songs, really.
15:29
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Kidding.
15:30
Yeah. All right, I'll touch your word
15:32
for it. But I want to see why did that
15:33
game have to tip off an hour right afterwards?
15:37
It's what to. Get the chain smokers and
15:39
Naismith in it, yes? It's the final four.
15:41
I get it. It's not going to be 25 minutes
15:43
after the conclusion of the game, yes.
15:45
It's like most tournaments. Yes, you're going to extend it
15:47
out. You're not going to have that.
15:49
I completely understand that. Part Got to hear some
15:51
commercials because they're paying a lot of freight for
15:53
that. Because the estimated tip time
15:55
originally I think was five O 9 and 749.
15:59
That rings a bell. I think you said that last week.
16:02
And then we get to. I look down, I look at my phone,
16:07
it's after 8:00 and they're still not close.
16:09
They haven't done the starting line UPS.
16:10
What the hell is going on? I I man, that was bad.
16:15
Yeah. That was bad.
16:16
And no knock on the chain smokers.
16:18
I enjoyed some of their songs. OK, got no problem there.
16:22
Time and place, right? Nobody wants that, no?
16:25
And the Naismith thing was? Naismith thing was just as bad
16:27
as you were ever going to find television wise.
16:30
Get it off really bad for him. I did good God, sitting on that
16:34
set, but but back there and he Johnson just being there.
16:37
I think it's the I I think Barkley and the jet are just
16:40
more comfortable with Ernie and he's been there and maybe the
16:43
audiences too. You know how I am in change.
16:45
Not real good with it in the beginning and and maybe next
16:48
year I'll like Burleson. I don't think I will, but.
16:52
You will probably maybe you you hated Boog in the beginning.
16:55
Well, I didn't hate him nationally.
16:57
You hated him on Cubs bro. I did.
16:59
I I did. Give it time.
17:01
Yeah, you'll be fine. Yeah, I think Burleson was
17:03
completely fine. Yeah.
17:05
Yeah. All right, You'll get there.
17:07
Maybe I will, what else from the weekend as we're on the cusp of
17:10
the Master? Did you watch golf for the
17:12
weekend? I watched a lot of golf.
17:13
Did you, were you invested A. Little bit some top 20s I
17:17
didn't. The guy that I bet to win Seb
17:19
Straka I think barely made the cut but the JJ spawn part was
17:23
incredible. I didn't see, I didn't see a
17:25
shot. So he's played really well at
17:28
this course before. Had him on the card as a top 20,
17:30
that was it. But he.
17:31
Is he on the lift? No, no, no.
17:34
He's the one that won the US Open last year, had the
17:36
incredible shot on 17, the par four that he got on there and
17:41
won that one. Just kind of a career journeyman
17:43
guy in his mid 30s and got it done.
17:45
He's playing at a really high level at this point.
17:47
He came roaring back. A good field, good card overall
17:50
and just a good, good appetizer absolutely to kind of get things
17:55
going. So it was fun to watch him just
17:57
pouring rain in San Antonio as they're playing down there.
17:59
Yeah, playing through there. We had that back and forth with
18:02
the women's game and my my mom was like, so can they hold the
18:06
umbrella over their head? No, you got to move the umbrella
18:08
away right as they're putting. So you had the caddies there
18:10
with that. But I'm so excited for the
18:12
Masters. I am too.
18:13
Would you bet Scheffler he was up to 5 1/2 to one.
18:15
I think he's come down a tick or two.
18:18
I think he's in the mid fours now.
18:19
Somewhere around there. His wife just had a baby that
18:22
their second child a second boy. Apparently the last time he
18:27
showed up as a new Papa, he won. Yes.
18:31
But this is number 2. I don't know, I I'm just going
18:34
to stick with our Bobby McIntyre.
18:35
Just going to ride the lefty. I don't think I'm going to get
18:38
invested anymore one bit. Just go in there.
18:42
I love the tournament. I you know, I don't I don't want
18:45
to be sitting on like last year. I had a huge Rory stack him up
18:49
right and I needed him to win. And of course he he did win and
18:53
I love the story as well. But I think I'm just going to
18:55
sit on the sidelines of Bobby Mac's great if he's he's there.
18:58
If not. And he was off to a great start.
19:01
He had a three shot. We only I saw he finished one
19:03
back right so he started the day up 3.
19:06
Yesterday. No, that was at one point on
19:08
Saturday, I think he was, yeah. And.
19:09
Then gave a couple back. I was fine with that.
19:12
Yeah, me too. Don't win.
19:13
Don't. Win a shuffler by the way.
19:15
Currently plus 475 at 475. Yep, that's the price that is
19:18
there. John Brahma is the second choice
19:20
at +1050. And that's Circus Plus.
19:24
This is Yeah, this is circa. Because I saw single digits most
19:27
places for Rob. Well, and also remember at Circa
19:30
I will give you this advice if you are looking to bet on the
19:32
masters, wait until we get to Wednesday because these odds it
19:36
will get as close to what you would get even odds on betting a
19:41
particular. Game, right?
19:44
They will go from the what they call the, the threshold, which
19:48
is you go to DraftKings, FanDuel, see the big places for
19:53
golf. It's like laying -130 I mean,
19:55
that's kind of the hold that they have in the market compared
19:57
to what you get. Circa's not going to get down to
19:59
10% -, 110, but it's going to be 15 to 18% hold.
20:03
Significant difference from the big shops.
20:05
And that's what you're going to see the big difference in these
20:07
kind of prices when it pertains to the winners.
20:09
Not everyone, because they might have somebody that came in about
20:12
$100,000, right? And and put those kind of big
20:15
bets in that are going to sway things.
20:16
But wait till Wednesday if you're betting at Circa, which
20:18
you should be for golf. For golf, you absolutely.
20:20
Should it is going to you're going to see about as good a
20:23
prices for most of the guys in the market.
20:25
Well, and Speaking of that, I, I, you know, I had my Illinois
20:28
ticket at 80 to one, right? And so I have 3 apps.
20:32
I have DraftKings, I have Circa and I have bet Rivers and I my
20:34
big ticket was on bet rivers. So I had to use bet rivers to
20:38
get my hedge in. It was by far the worst prices.
20:41
I mean, it truly is. DraftKings was second best
20:45
circa. I was getting the best price,
20:47
but but because I had the my, you know, my shot in the dark at
20:52
Bette Rivers, I was forced to take a short price and play
20:54
around there. So we'll see where it goes.
20:57
I've got Michigan and I've got UConn, so it doesn't matter who
21:00
wins the game tonight of but it will once we get to the Stanley.
21:03
I have one other hedging opportunity tonight.
21:06
I'm in like a point spread betting pool.
21:08
You don't even pick them. You just given different teams
21:11
throughout the course of the tournament.
21:12
So if Michigan wins and if Michigan covers tonight, I win
21:15
the whole pool and it's like $400.00.
21:18
So do I just take Yukon and the points on the other side and
21:21
Garam ITC? Yeah.
21:23
Get something. And I kind of feel good about
21:24
Yukon and the points. I certainly do if it's seven out
21:27
of 7 1/2, if you find something like that out there, we'll see
21:29
kind of what the day does. But I think that's the.
21:31
Simplest. So you're going to wait till it
21:33
goes up, you think? I think so.
21:35
You think it will. You think?
21:35
We're going to get Michigan money coming in.
21:38
Yes, I think so too. Have you seen the betting splits
21:41
at all today? I have not.
21:42
We'll take a peek at that before we get to my picks at the end of
21:44
the. Show.
21:45
All right, let's get Devin in here, then we'll go to break.
21:47
We get David Icolt. He'll join us first on the
21:50
Hawkeyes. Bill Seals kicks off our number
21:52
2 on Iowa State and Rob Doster Field is 68.
21:55
More on the natty tonight. Hello, Devin.
21:57
How are you? Doing good gentlemen.
21:59
Happy Monday. I have a quick question.
22:01
You guys are going to have to help me out here and dig into
22:03
the memory files. So last year there was some
22:06
major golf tournament that had a rain delay and there was a
22:10
gentleman that resided in Des Moines.
22:12
Two years ago, was that two years ago?
22:15
Did he ever take DraftKings to court?
22:17
He did, you know he did. And he win that.
22:20
I don't know. Didn't we have the lawyer on?
22:22
Didn't we have his attorney? On yes, absolutely we.
22:24
Did and then I. Wonder if he won that?
22:27
Yeah, go ahead. Sorry.
22:28
I was going to say, Devin, I think that because we were on
22:31
his side, on the guy on the player's side, and then we saw
22:35
was it a house rule, Trent? It kind of got us off the scent
22:39
a little bit thinking, you know, I think it's going to turn out
22:42
badly for this kid. That's a great one, Devin.
22:44
You know what was so I should or Trent, one of us should follow
22:49
up and see how this thing turned out because I, I'm trying to
22:53
remember the attorney's name that we.
22:54
Had. I can't remember now.
22:56
Good question, Devin. Anything else?
22:59
Nope, that's all I got, gentlemen.
23:00
Thank you. The call.
23:00
Yeah, good blast from the past. Yeah, because it this he bet.
23:06
Everybody to finish in the top 20 that was currently in the top
23:09
20. Right, because he knew that
23:10
there was an all likelihood to get the tournament was going to
23:13
be called after 50. Four holes, 36 holes with the
23:18
way that it was going and it was maybe leading into a major, so
23:21
they weren't going to push the thing till Monday or even
23:23
Tuesday if need be. And then DraftKings decided.
23:26
I think it was that Pebble. I think it was the January
23:29
tournament Pebble, and he just parlayed all the top 20 guys
23:32
that were currently there all together.
23:33
Of course it hit because that turned out to be the official
23:36
results. And we were on.
23:37
We were on his side from the jump.
23:39
But then the house rules. Then the house rules and that's
23:42
why they're, that's why they're published, because they protect
23:45
you and they protect the the operator.
23:51
Yeah. I wonder how that, you know
23:52
what? I'm guessing it didn't go well
23:54
because we didn't hear any more about it.
23:55
Absolutely. Although we do were saying at
23:58
the time that this is going to take a while to filter through
24:00
the courts. Yes, those things do drag out.
24:03
Yeah. Going up against a DraftKings
24:06
though, they got some lawyers. Sure.
24:08
Yeah, Yeah, this guy had a, I don't remember who whose
24:14
attorney was. Well, I'll be 1.
24:16
I don't feel good about his chances, but I I hope we got
24:19
something out of it. All right, David Eichel will
24:21
join us next. We'll do some Hawkeye related
24:23
topics with David Eichelt, another woman in the portal for
24:26
Iowa today, and anything about her that you know.
24:30
Tegan Milady. Yes.
24:32
So she's the one that Tom mentioned to us on Friday.
24:35
Her boyfriend had just passed away in a car accident.
24:38
That's the story. Yes, and she's from Wisconsin.
24:43
I she had a non no contact. I think we can connect the dots
24:48
here. She's probably going to go to
24:50
Wisconsin. Yeah, and that's one.
24:54
Yeah, yeah. Time Out, Come Back Eye, Colt
24:57
Next Miller and Condon on the Iowa Sports Radio Network.
25:11
I'm Mary Connon, welcome back 12:30 Iowa Sports Radio network.
25:16
Just to follow up on the golf story the Devon called in about
25:20
it was the 2020 four AT&T Pebble Beach.
25:23
The Dallas County resident or resident at the time Nick Davis
25:28
and his attorney was Clive based attorney Ben Lynch.
25:31
And apparently the case gets to court in September of this year.
25:36
So if you're bored of football in September, which I'm guessing
25:40
you won't. No, probably not.
25:43
You may want to circle. Around to this.
25:45
Let's get David Eicholt in here. He joins us hawkeyeinsider.com,
25:49
24/7 Sports. Thanks for coming on, brother.
25:52
How are you? We're staying busy, man, but
25:55
it's all good. It's it's a fun time of year and
25:59
I'm just kind of counting down the days till the end of April.
26:02
Then it feels like we get a check out a little bit more.
26:04
But we're good, man. We're thriving.
26:06
No, the portal obviously is going to keep everybody busy, no
26:09
doubt about that. Hey, I do want to ask you Bob,
26:11
before we get into the portal, we'll do some football obviously
26:13
as well as we haven't spoken with you on in a while.
26:16
And I know Ference etcetera has met with you guys, members of
26:20
the media. So we'll bring maybe bring that
26:22
up again. But Ben Mccollum's contract,
26:25
there was some some conversation as I was making their run
26:29
through the tournament that Beth Getz was starting to renegotiate
26:34
or redraw the contract. Do you know where that is at or
26:37
even if that story was accurate? I thought that she was quoted in
26:41
the piece, but I could be mistaken.
26:44
Sure. So I mean, from my sources and
26:46
my understanding is I do think that they are going to be
26:48
meeting sometime probably this week to iron out some of those
26:51
details. And, you know, again, I think
26:53
Beth knows that she's going to have to give an extension.
26:55
And I think Ben's also earned it just based on what what he's
26:58
been able to show. But, you know, North Carolina's
27:01
approaching that Penn State football level To me, if they
27:04
don't get Billy Donovan, I mean, then they're really striking
27:07
out. And I think they're still going
27:08
to try to go after buying thin from Vanderbilt.
27:10
But if that doesn't happen, it's probably Scott Drew or Ben
27:13
McCall from from my understanding.
27:16
And I do know that some North Carolina donors have started to
27:19
kind of poke around and see what the buyout is there.
27:21
And look, I, I don't think Ben McCollum is going to North
27:24
Carolina, OK. I mean, I'm not trying to
27:26
instigate anything. I think Ben McCollum made it
27:29
clear he wants to stay at Iowa. I would be a lot more worried
27:33
about Ben. This is just my opinion is if
27:36
Kansas had opened up this season because, you know, Kansas will
27:39
probably poke around at that point in time too.
27:42
But you know, from my understanding is Beth and Ben
27:45
are likely going to meet early to midweek.
27:47
And I think they'll be able to iron out some details because I
27:49
think both sides know that they need to get done with how much
27:53
Ben Mccollum's name is trending. I wouldn't blame him for using
27:56
some of that as leverage to continue to get more resources
27:59
for himself. No doubt and keep building
28:01
things up, Help out your assistant coaches.
28:03
There's a lot of different avenues that go into it.
28:05
It's not just strictly about the head coach.
28:07
There's a whole pot in this new era of NIL.
28:09
Obviously that's a piece of it too.
28:11
So as we get ready to descend into it starting tomorrow, point
28:16
guard rim protecting big, I mean, is that it is maybe
28:20
there'll be something else that pops up, but is that the two big
28:23
ticket items that I was looking at and and how set are they
28:26
knowing some of the names that they're going to officially be
28:29
calling starting tomorrow? Yeah, I mean, of course, I think
28:32
those are the two. I also think they might poke
28:34
around for maybe a combo guard, you know, just to kind of, you
28:37
know, maybe put Kale Combs at the one in some circumstances.
28:40
I think we know how much that helps Bennett Sturtz, especially
28:43
late in the season when he wasn't the one bearing all of
28:46
that responsibility. But yeah, I think Iowa knows
28:49
that they're going to have to shell out some big money for for
28:51
a rim protector and they're going to need a scoring kind of
28:54
lead guard. We know that there's a few
28:57
targets they've probably already identified.
28:58
I do think some things are going to be in the works, I think, and
29:01
we'll hear about some visits probably here in the next 48
29:04
hours or so, at least the ones that will be scheduled out.
29:07
But it will be interesting to see what Ben McCollum and
29:10
company want to do. Do they want to show out the
29:12
money for an elite point guard and and kind of a meh rim
29:15
protector or an average rim protector?
29:17
Or do they kind of want a probably good point guard, but
29:20
maybe not an elite point guard and then put more of those
29:23
resources in NIL dollars toward an elite rim protector and kind
29:27
of that elite big? Because there are some nice bigs
29:29
in the portal right now that I think would definitely fit
29:32
McCollum system. And I think he knows after
29:34
watching what Michigan's been able to do during their run,
29:37
what Illinois was able to do, what Harris Reid for Uconn's
29:40
been able to do, absolutely unbelievable.
29:43
So I think they know the value of having an elite kind of rim
29:46
guy. But I'd also throw this out
29:48
there, that Kansas Center is in the portal right now.
29:52
I know his asking price is about four to five.
29:55
Yeah. Really.
29:57
That'll. Work.
29:58
Yeah, there are some people in this camp that they're trying to
30:01
think they could get 4 to $5,000,000 and that I'm, I'm
30:05
saying that just from the market price so people understand what
30:08
some of these elite bigs are going for.
30:10
It's it's not going to be a cheap price tag.
30:13
I thought you were going to crystal ball him.
30:14
I was. Oh, absolutely.
30:16
No, no, no. That price tag's a.
30:19
Little too much. That's a little steep.
30:22
Wouldn't that be something, a kid like that?
30:23
He's talented, man. He could play, no doubt about
30:27
that. What about Tavian banks?
30:30
What, what are we hearing as far as his likelihood any any news
30:35
out of banks? You know, I think he's kind of
30:38
prepared that it's, it's over, quite frankly.
30:41
I mean, I think at this point, based on everything I'm hearing,
30:44
I'd be very surprised if if Tavion Banks, if he was given
30:47
the waiver, if he came back, look, I think I would obviously
30:50
take him. But it's also one of those
30:52
things. And this is where decisions have
30:53
to be made no matter what the percentage is.
30:56
I mean, do you want to wait to find out if he's potentially
30:59
back because that you're talking about, you know, withholding
31:02
some nil resources for potential other pieces in the portal.
31:05
You have to shift around kind of your thinking about the portal
31:08
and all those things. I mean, as good as Banks was and
31:11
look, Banks in that first half against Florida, I hope people
31:13
give him enough credit. He's a big reason why Iowa beat
31:16
Florida in that game. He's consistently one of the
31:19
toughest guys on the floor. I think you just can't bank on
31:23
him coming back no matter how it looks you, especially with how
31:27
critical these next two weeks are.
31:29
I mean, we talked about Mccollum's extension, we talked
31:31
about the portal opening, all these things.
31:33
I think that both sides would be open to that idea.
31:36
And if you have to make it work, laid down the stretch, if for
31:39
some reason he does get the waiver, you do what you can to
31:42
make it work, but you move forward with the assumption that
31:45
he does not return to Iowa. Any specific names, anything
31:48
that you think is going to be connecting the dots here on the
31:51
men's side that makes sense that you think is going to be some of
31:53
those initial calls that are going to be made?
31:57
So I look at a couple, I think Finley Biz Jack from Butler is
32:01
going to be a guy, 17 points a game, probably not the best
32:04
assist guy, but he can go out there and he can get you a
32:07
bucket. You know, his usage rate at
32:09
Butler was was incredibly high. Another name, look at Isaiah
32:12
Johnson, maybe from Colorado. You talk about a guy who's a
32:15
bucket, 17 points, 3 assists, 49% from the field, 38% from
32:20
three. But I'll tell you one of my
32:22
favorite guys in the portal. Now, I don't know if I was going
32:24
to call, but this would be one of my first call.
32:27
He's from Furman. Alex Wilkins, 6 foot, 518 points
32:32
and five assists a game. And Furman has one of the most
32:35
efficient and fun offenses year in, year out in college
32:38
basketball. I think if you're talking about
32:39
a guy that can create his own shot, a big playmaker and a guy
32:43
who's not afraid to go challenge opposing bigs at the rim, I
32:46
think he's the guy there. And another guy just from a
32:48
front court perspective, Anton, I think it's I think it's Bonky
32:53
from Charlotte. He's 7 foot yeah, 7 foot 2,
32:56
about 11:00 and 9:00 average, and he gets about two blocks a
33:00
game. He's got one year of
33:02
eligibility, but you talk about from a size and athleticism
33:04
perspective, he kind of fits Mccomb's billing.
33:08
What about going the other way? Any Fulgaris news?
33:12
I don't think so at the moment. I will say this, I would still
33:16
lean he does not return to Iowa. If I had to crystal ball it, I
33:19
mean, I'm 5545. I think both sides would like
33:23
Dermain, Iowa City. I think he has a good
33:24
relationship with the coaching staff and his teammates have
33:27
obviously spoken highly of him. But we know what Fulgaris would
33:31
get in the portal and it's one of those things to where do you
33:34
really want to allocate those resources to a guy with respect?
33:38
He made big plays. His his Iowa legacy is secured
33:40
without question, right? If you want to sell out seven
33:44
figures for a guy who was inconsistent all year, I just
33:48
don't. I think the thing that Ben
33:50
McCollum wants more than anything else and what makes his
33:52
system work and his ex's and O's work, it's consistency.
33:57
Alvaro made some big plays, but when he was bad in the matchup
34:01
wasn't right, it just did not work out.
34:04
And I think right now, given Iowa's roster, he'd have to play
34:07
more of the five. And he wants to play the four.
34:09
And you talk about how much you'd want to pay him, which
34:10
would take money away from getting an elite dollar or or a
34:13
true rim protector. If Alvaro's willing to take a
34:16
little bit of a discount compared to what he's being
34:18
offered, I think you bring him back.
34:21
But if you're given the choice about putting those, I'm just
34:24
throwing out a hypothetical number here, right?
34:26
If you have a 1.3 or $1.4 million, do you want to throw it
34:30
to Alvaro Fulgaris or do you want to throw at a rim protector
34:33
given what's already on the roster and the log jam that that
34:36
the shooting guard through the power forward position.
34:38
Remember they got Trey Thompson, Ethan Harris.
34:41
I think you will. I want to say better of our
34:43
walk, but it might be best for both sides if it does end up
34:46
coming into fruition. But I think he'd be welcomed
34:48
back to Iowa City. Over to the women's side, we
34:51
mentioned Tegan Mulaney in the portal, the unfortunate news of
34:54
her boyfriend passing away and anticipate she's going to get
34:57
closer to home. What about Emily Rodriguez
35:01
still? I mean, yeah, we go back to we
35:03
thought this thing was over in December, and here we are with
35:06
the portal open. Is there even a sliver of hope
35:09
that maybe Emily Rodriguez is going to be part of this team
35:12
next year? I mean, I'm never going to say
35:14
never, but I'd be stunned. I would too, Trent.
35:17
I, I mean, I told you guys back in December, I was pretty
35:20
surprised she came back for that second semester.
35:23
I think. I know I'm not the only one of
35:25
our colleagues that that thought that I thought she was kind of
35:27
going to be off the team or they were going to part ways.
35:31
But he. It's unfortunate too, because
35:34
Emily fits so much of what Iowa was missing.
35:37
You talk about a person who could go create her own shot.
35:40
She can finish at the rim. Yeah, I think at a time she was
35:43
out place defensively, but she was still learning the system.
35:45
But from a prototype of what Iowa needs, she does fit that
35:49
bill. And with all them that are
35:50
already in the portal for Iowa, she would have a role.
35:52
But I just think with the back injury, with all the other drama
35:56
behind the scenes, and, you know, I'll say it.
35:58
I mean, I told you guys back in December, do you know how hard
36:01
it is to take off Jan Jensen? And even in her press
36:06
conference, she had said one sentence about her.
36:08
It goes like, oh, well, she's, you know, she's working her way
36:10
back. Jan does not speak that direct
36:13
and that short at times. That's not a character
36:15
indictment. That's just how she kind of
36:17
interacts with the media. I got to say, man, maybe 5% and
36:21
I still might be pushing it a little bit too high.
36:23
I'd be floored unless something has drastically changed here
36:26
over the last several weeks. Who's Jen going to be looking
36:29
at? What's their area of need?
36:33
Yeah, I mean, I think it starts with perimeter shooting, outside
36:36
shooters, snipers. I mean, you know, they go there
36:39
went 6 to 42 from 3 point range in the NCAA tournament.
36:43
But if I'm then you know what I do?
36:44
I'd throw every dollar at possible.
36:46
Kimura Johnson from Virginia because she she is in the portal
36:50
and she is absolutely I think she pair alongside chit chat
36:55
right very nicely. But obviously a name that's
36:57
already out there and there is going to be a visit in the
36:59
works. That's Iowa State's Kenzie Hare,
37:01
the former Marquette sharpshooter.
37:04
I think she would fit a very nice need for what they need.
37:06
But again, people are going to overreact to names if they're
37:09
rotational player and their stats.
37:11
But I think it's important to remember, guys, they need
37:13
probably four people out of the transfer portal.
37:16
Like these are not going to be all impact players, but I think
37:20
they need some elite outside shooting.
37:21
And more importantly, I think this has been a key thing that
37:24
Jan Jensen's teams have been missing.
37:26
They need more players that can create their own shot.
37:29
They just doing Lucy Olsen was the only one that was a shot
37:31
creator on that team. Chitchat right was good this
37:34
year. We thought Addie deals be a
37:36
little bit farther along than she was.
37:38
But at the end of the year, guys, the offense just came down
37:41
to okay, wait for Ava Hayden to get post position and do the
37:44
high low action. And that's why teams collapsed
37:46
in the pain until Iowa had heard them from outside.
37:48
But unfortunately for Iowa, they never heard them from outside.
37:52
Do you anticipate taking that a step further?
37:55
The triangle offense that they employed this year with Stalky
37:57
made sense in the high post. Is that something that is always
38:00
going to happen under Jan Jensen, or are we going to see
38:03
some more evolution offensively of what they're trying to do
38:05
depending on the kind of the pieces that they have each and
38:08
every year? You know, I think that's always
38:11
going to be somewhat of a staple.
38:12
And I think when you look at the roster they have, I think it
38:15
works because look, I love McKenna Volitsko.
38:17
I think she's going to be an immediate impact player.
38:19
I think she's Uber athletic. I think she's good enough
38:21
shooter. She's going to pass her.
38:23
She's an ideal 4 for the system. Not high, low.
38:25
I think it's always going to work in that triangle offense.
38:28
But I'd also point to this, it's going to work a lot better when
38:32
you have players that can make the outside shot consistently
38:34
because I was offense for the most part, guys, I don't think
38:37
it was a problem. But when I know I keep pointing
38:39
to Taylor McCabe, but I really think that that hurt things
38:42
because her play style and her ability to stretch the offense,
38:45
you know, the defense and and be a catalyst on the defensive end,
38:48
the floor. It really hurt this team.
38:51
I do think the biggest area in need of Jan Jensen's growth and
38:54
something she's going to look very closely at this offseason
38:57
when it comes down to getting a bucket in clutch time.
39:00
They just always looked like they weren't ready for the
39:03
moment. I mean, I, I think back to chit
39:05
chat, right? That last regulation against
39:07
Virginia. And then you think about the end
39:09
of the first overtime when Ava got the ball with 1.5 seconds
39:12
left and she just kind of stared and looked at the rim and didn't
39:15
put up a shot. And she admits she thought there
39:17
was more time on the clock than there was.
39:19
But I think when you talk about out of balance plays, when you
39:22
talk about end game situation, I think that's the area that
39:25
really needs to grow more so than the actual team of the
39:29
offense, if that makes sense. Done on basketball?
39:32
Trick couple on football? Let's get your thoughts on where
39:36
football is at as they go through their spring practices.
39:38
You heard from Ference last week.
39:39
What stuck with you? David Eichelt.
39:43
I mean, I think Jeremy Hecklinski and Hank Brown, they
39:45
go down to the wire about who starts.
39:47
I think Hank Brown's more of the traditional Kirk Ference kind of
39:50
quarterback. He's more of a pocket presence.
39:52
He does everything very consistent according to the
39:54
staff and the teammates. The teammates love him, but
39:57
Jeremy Hecklinski is a guy who wants to push the ball down
40:00
field. But the other thing that was
40:02
really interesting to me was I asked him about Hecklinski and I
40:06
asked him about the Drew take comparisons and his kind of
40:08
gunslinger mentality. Kirk also brought up CJ.
40:13
Bether in comparison with Hecklinski, not from a physical
40:16
standpoint, but he said Jeremy Hecklinski is a guy who he'll
40:19
make some passes, he'll force the ball to fit in ridiculously
40:23
tight windows. He just needs to learn when to
40:25
take those chances, when not to. But he said CJ Bether was the
40:28
same way and he kind of mastered when to take those risks versus
40:32
not. And I think if you're talking
40:34
about two of the what, 4 best quarterbacks in Kirk fairness
40:37
era and you have a guy fighting for a spot, Kirk doesn't throw
40:40
out those kind of statements lightly.
40:43
So I'm I'm keeping a very close eye on heck Glinski.
40:45
The other thing is Tony Diaz I think is going to be a major
40:48
part of this team. The way he kind of, I want to
40:53
gushed about Tony Diaz. He made it pretty clear he was
40:56
pretty happy. That's gushing for Ferris.
41:00
I agree. And and my big take away too, it
41:02
wasn't a guy that's been on campus either, somebody that has
41:04
been there for a couple of months and have Kirk talk that
41:07
way about a new guy that is a rarity.
41:10
So expectations going to be through the roof again and we'll
41:13
see if they actually throw the ball down the field.
41:15
Are are you going to be holding your breath, David?
41:18
Not until I see it. Then again, we guys, we all saw.
41:21
We all saw 2 passing touchdowns from Kane McNamara in the first
41:25
game. We saw what happened.
41:26
After that. So we'll we'll.
41:28
Circle back around week 6 or so and then we'll see whether.
41:31
Good stuff, hawkeyeinsider.com, David Eichel.
41:34
David, as always, appreciate your contribution.
41:37
We'll talk in the weeks ahead. Thank you, David.
41:39
Thanks guys. Take care.
41:40
Have a good week. Yeah, you're the same David
41:42
Eichel as we check in on Iowa. We'll come back, finish up our
41:46
first hour of the program. Bill Seals covers Iowa State.
41:49
He kicks off our number 2 Rob Doster field of 68 on the
41:52
national championship and how we got there at about 1/25. 1:30
41:56
Transplays of the Day Circus sports sponsor those Miller and
41:59
Condon talking sports with you on the Iowa Sports Radio
42:02
Network. I'm Hillary Condon coming up
42:08
here with Bill Seals, Iowa State, Rob Doster on the
42:13
national championship. Matthew Boyd has landed on the
42:16
15 day DL, joining Kate Horton. They have that Horton news.
42:21
That was brutal. I was watching it live when it
42:23
happened. See him that wasn't, wasn't he
42:27
going to end well? And Catcher very quickly knew
42:29
that he needed help, but he was struggling.
42:30
And anyways, we'll see where it goes.
42:32
Apparently they thought that they had some depth.
42:34
Javier Assad, who's had a couple of starts, First one wasn't bad,
42:38
second one not so good. He's been called back up.
42:41
We'll see. They are in Tampa here today.
42:45
I opened, I got to work, logged on to Twitter with us.
42:49
You know what I missed one time I left Anka need to get here.
42:51
And I saw that the face of the WNBA had been traded.
42:54
Oh really? Are we still going down this
42:56
road? I guess we are Angel Reese, you
43:00
know where she what her status is regardless the tweets reel,
43:04
she was traded to Atlanta. Not sure what that means or not.
43:06
But I know one thing and she is not the face of the WNBA as much
43:10
as some people out there want to believe that she is.
43:13
Your Bears are ultimately, I guess, going to be forced to
43:17
make a decision here in the next two or three weeks as to what
43:20
they're, where they're going to call home, where they're going
43:21
to start, you know, putting a shovel in the ground and start
43:26
to build their new stadium. Yeah, there was a tweet earlier
43:28
this morning from Adam Schefter. He said the Chicago Bears will
43:31
decide where to build their new stadium in the next few weeks.
43:34
According to league sources, if Illinois doesn't pass
43:36
legislation for early tonight soon, sources believe the Bears
43:39
are likely to be Indiana. Bound.
43:41
So I I'm about to ask you a question.
43:43
I know you have no idea and and nor should you.
43:45
Do you know if the Illinois legislature is still in session?
43:48
You're asking the. Wrong.
43:49
I knew as soon as I. Down the hall a little bit,
43:52
maybe they could help you. Yeah, maybe so.
43:53
Yeah, Not, not so much here. So what?
43:55
Does it end normally? Isn't it end the round now?
43:58
I, I mean, I guess I don't know. No, maybe it's maybe it is.
44:02
But point being is, you said, you know, if the legislature in
44:05
Illinois doesn't decide, well, here's hoping that they're still
44:08
in session and they get to make that choice.
44:10
Because it comes down to the taxes at at Arlington Heights
44:13
and the way that things are presented at this point, Cappy
44:16
told us months ago. In the current structure right
44:19
now, the Rams play the pay the highest amount per year in taxes
44:24
for their stadium. And I think he's it was either 8
44:26
million or 12 million, one of the two.
44:28
But it's by far the furthest and the current way that things are
44:31
situated. If the Bears would build a
44:32
stadium at Arlington Heights, they would pay $100 million a
44:35
year in state tax. Jesus, a year.
44:37
That's ridiculous, right? It's untenable.
44:39
Yeah, absolutely. It's It's as simple as that.
44:42
So if they get that worked out and they're going to put a lid
44:44
on the on on the building, is it more likely that because you
44:47
know what happens if you build a stadium, you get a Super Bowl?
44:50
At least that's the way it's been.
44:52
So if they build a stadium in Arlington Heights, are they more
44:55
likely to get a Super Bowl there if they move to Indiana?
44:58
Same. It's.
44:59
It doesn't make a difference. I mean they gave one to
45:01
Jacksonville for crying out loud.
45:03
The The bear Chicago Chicago land will get.
45:08
Super Bowl. So you the the the tourists can
45:10
still stay in Chicago. Absolutely.
45:12
Because I think back to when I went to the Super Bowl 50 and
45:15
the the Niners home. It's a 45 minute drive from San
45:18
Francisco. If you're lucky.
45:19
If you're lucky, yes, if you're leaving time.
45:21
Right. And depending on where you're
45:22
staying, right, it could be an hour and a half.
45:24
It could be two hours, depending on what part of the huge area
45:27
that you're going to be. I think in Chicago.
45:29
Yep, I. Mean.
45:30
Yeah, you can stay in Bolingbrook.
45:31
It's going to take a while. Yeah, certainly if it's in
45:34
Indiana, it's going to take an even longer time if you're
45:36
staying out in the western suburbs.
45:38
Hour number two, Bill Seals on Iowa State, Rob Doster on the
45:42
national championship. Trent will make some plays.
45:47
Circus sports sponsor those. Hour 2 is coming up next.
45:50
Miller and Condon talking sports with you.
45:52
Glad you're with us on the Iowa Sports Radio Network.
