• 0:19
  Hi, good afternoon. Welcome, Miller and Condon.
• 0:21
  On a Monday, it's the Iowa Sports Radio Network.
• 0:24
  Trent and Ken for the next couple of hours to talk sports
• 0:28
  with you. Thank you for starting your
• 0:29
  afternoon with us. Wherever you might be in the
• 0:31
  state of Iowa or anywhere in the iheart app, we're glad that
• 0:34
  you're with us as we will talk sports with you until 2:00 and
• 0:37
  then off the bench come Lucas and Sean.
• 0:40
  They'll take you the rest of the way right up until 5:00.
• 0:43
  Here's what's coming up on our program.
• 0:45
  In 20, 25 minutes. Bill Seals will join us.
• 0:48
  He covers Iowa State for cyclonereport.com.
• 0:51
  Bill Seals on Iowa State's convincing win over Arizona and
• 0:55
  the look ahead to the Cincinnati Game.
• 0:58
  Boy. The point spread and that one
• 0:59
  gone crazy, at least when the number first came out.
• 1:02
  But Bill Seals up first. Then Matt Rudy will recap the
• 1:05
  Ryder Cup. At least there was a little
• 1:07
  drama yesterday in the afternoon.
• 1:09
  Ludvrig Arburg will be the answer to a trivia question as
• 1:13
  to who is the only Euro to win the singles match yesterday.
• 1:16
  And boy, did it mean a lot to that outcome.
• 1:19
  But it goes the Euro's way. So we'll talk to Matt Rudy on
• 1:22
  that. Then Bama, Bob, Trent and I will
• 1:23
  go around college football before Scott Dockerman joins us.
• 1:26
  He was in the press box at Kinnock Stadium for Indiana and
• 1:30
  Iowa on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Monday night with a double
• 1:33
  dip and we will bring the curtain down on a Monday and
• 1:36
  pass the torch to the off the bench.
• 1:38
  Fellas, how are you? I'm doing well.
• 1:40
  I heard some concerning news with you that you might be out
• 1:43
  of Circa millions out of one for next season.
• 1:47
  You're already moving over to the other side.
• 1:49
  We got, of course, Circa Survivor and some carnage
• 1:51
  yesterday. And breaking news, as you were
• 1:53
  waiting earlier this morning, we found out that Iowa State will
• 1:56
  play Colorado at Colorado at 2:32. 30 They're not on top of
• 2:01
  each other. They're not.
• 2:02
  Yes. 6:00 Kickoff for Iowa against Wisconsin on the road.
• 2:07
  6:00 Kickoff on FS1 for. Awesome, awesome, awesome,
• 2:11
  awesome. Good stuff.
• 2:12
  Hawks are off this week. They'll need it and now ski
• 2:14
  maybe we don't know we might find out tomorrow.
• 2:17
  The coordinators are going to to speak.
• 2:19
  So we shall see. Let's do Iowa State 1st and then
• 2:22
  Iowa because I got some obviously some thoughts on both
• 2:24
  with the with the clones putting it in the win column, maybe
• 2:27
  their most complete game of the year for for Iowa State.
• 2:31
  Maybe hard to I mean, I thought it was I don't know what more
• 2:35
  you could ask for some of the trickeration that they employed.
• 2:37
  Rocco Beck is Rocco Beck. My God, he's a good player.
• 2:40
  He truly is. They found their weapon and so
• 2:43
  well, who had not done so well until this past weekend.
• 2:46
  And now we know why you'd only been able to practice the first
• 2:49
  four days of fall camp. And my God, what a weapon he's
• 2:53
  become. We know about the tight ends.
• 2:55
  The defense was solid. I want to start with the way
• 2:58
  Matt Campbell hired handled Chase Smith.
• 3:01
  I thought it was brilliant. I really did.
• 3:03
  They score a touchdown. Don't send them out there right
• 3:06
  away. Take the pressure off of them.
• 3:08
  They get the two point conversion next time they score
• 3:11
  a touchdown. Well, if it wasn't good, you
• 3:13
  know, they're still 14 apiece because they have that eight
• 3:16
  spot. But Jay Smith split the sticks.
• 3:18
  Good for you. They're going to need them
• 3:19
  because it doesn't sound like Conrad, he's coming back anytime
• 3:22
  soon. But I thought Campbell, that was
• 3:24
  a stroke of brilliance on his part, the way that he handled
• 3:26
  that. I would stay played
• 3:27
  exceptionally well, I thought. Trent.
• 3:29
  Hey, you, I think said it at the top.
• 3:30
  That was a complete performance. He saw it in a multitude of
• 3:33
  different ways, really dominated upfront, which was important on
• 3:37
  the offensive line. I thought Pami put together
• 3:39
  their most complete effort upfront that they had throughout
• 3:42
  the course of the season. A tackling was very good.
• 3:44
  It was just it was that game that that's what you need to do
• 3:47
  right. That's the kind of performance
• 3:49
  that you're looking for. And they absolutely did that
• 3:51
  Stonewall that opening drive when looked like Arizona.
• 3:54
  Oh boy, here we here we go. And after that it was all
• 3:58
  cyclones after they were able to bend, but don't break on that
• 4:01
  opening. Dr. Defensively, you mentioned
• 4:03
  the two point conversion, that was eye opening.
• 4:05
  I had flipped away right as they scored the touchdown and then I
• 4:08
  see in the bottom line. 80 of course.
• 4:11
  And you go back and they see the formation that they ran out of
• 4:13
  that John Tez Williams interception was brilliant.
• 4:16
  I mean, he baited the quarterback for Feta.
• 4:19
  That was outstanding. Jameson Patton was all over the
• 4:21
  field, mentioned so well. He was just fantastic in the
• 4:25
  game. So it's hard to pick nits with
• 4:28
  this Iowa State Derby. I'm not sure what's Campbell
• 4:31
  going to be critical about today because all their big guns on
• 4:34
  defense showed up. I guess maybe the concern would
• 4:36
  be the injuries, right? Yeah, Orange is orange is a
• 4:39
  little bit banged. Up.
• 4:40
  And that's a big one. Yeah, it's a big one of of all
• 4:42
  of the little wounds or Nicks, if you want to call them that,
• 4:47
  that would be the main concern. But the place looked great.
• 4:51
  The white out came. I mean, it popped off the
• 4:53
  screen. It did.
• 4:54
  Jack Trice was in full throat and it was a good game because
• 4:58
  Arizona was a team that was kind of that plucky team, you know,
• 5:01
  don't let him hang around and Iowa State didn't.
• 5:03
  It took a big lead in the locker room at half time and came out
• 5:06
  and just built on that and it was never in doubt.
• 5:09
  My concern going into the game was that Arizona Defense, who
• 5:14
  had been playing at a much higher level and Iowa State made
• 5:17
  it look bad. You did paper.
• 5:18
  Yeah. I mean, just whatever they
• 5:20
  wanted to do, they were able to do it.
• 5:22
  You mentioned Seoul and we talked a little bit about him
• 5:24
  last week and just we heard after those first couple of
• 5:27
  games kind of what's going on. Yeah.
• 5:29
  And is this. A miss and I told you finally
• 5:31
  missed. And I told you last week, I
• 5:33
  didn't think there was because you saw they were starting to
• 5:36
  trend, get him out there a little bit more.
• 5:38
  And it's just it's so unlikely that Iowa State's going to miss
• 5:41
  out a guy like that. They haven't track record's been
• 5:43
  almost. Perfect it it has been and just
• 5:45
  year after year after year and then just suddenly well now we
• 5:48
  see he's healthy and now they got that big target helping with
• 5:51
  the tight ends and a quarterback that is just so reliable so
• 5:56
  solid so good makes the right decision with the football
• 5:59
  signally every single time you you don't get the stuff that you
• 6:02
  get got from Brock Purdy where it was just those inexplicable
• 6:06
  plays and what. Not.
• 6:07
  What God's neighbor there? Were a couple of those in his
• 6:10
  career of the bowl game and then the game was at the TCU.
• 6:13
  There was a TCU one in there. There was there was a handful of
• 6:16
  them and drinking. I mean, he got benched to get
• 6:18
  Drake. He.
• 6:18
  Did. You're not getting that out of
• 6:20
  this guy. He's consistent, yes.
• 6:23
  He just, he makes the plays that are in front of him.
• 6:26
  He's so smart, so heady and can make all the throws that you
• 6:29
  need at this level. He is excellent and this Iowa
• 6:32
  State team, this schedule they're.
• 6:34
  Five and O. And it doesn't look daunting.
• 6:36
  What scares you? Arizona State and Tus.
• 6:42
  There's TC. You blew that game.
• 6:43
  I agree with you. I agree with you, but I think
• 6:46
  TCU was good. I think TCU was good.
• 6:48
  They're talented. I mean not scares you, I guess.
• 6:52
  I mean you. OK, I'll go.
• 6:54
  I'll go there. 9:00 and 3:10 and 2:00 we shine for.
• 6:57
  I did 3 Who are who are they losing?
• 7:00
  How are they losing? 3 gates let me get the schedule
• 7:03
  for three found three losses pipe down over there.
• 7:06
  But Kansas? Kansas is tricky at TCU is.
• 7:10
  Tricky just got beat by Cincinnati.
• 7:11
  Cincinnati's good Kansas. Cincinnati should be in Nebraska
• 7:15
  in week. Was there a week one week one
• 7:17
  Thursday night, this game, this Cincinnati games.
• 7:21
  A tricky spot, I'll give you that.
• 7:23
  I think they beat Colorado. Yes, BYU.
• 7:26
  At home they. They they should.
• 7:28
  That kind of has the feel of Arizona coming to town.
• 7:31
  Arizona State, they're still I. Don't have anybody else outside
• 7:35
  to Tyson to throw the ball to. They can't run the ball.
• 7:39
  Scataboo was so important for what they are.
• 7:42
  They kill the Sun Devils. Give me how a state -10.
• 7:46
  At TCU that's tough that's tough.
• 7:48
  Kansas is Kansas. Cincinnati got him.
• 7:51
  I watched the whole game. That's why that's why I was the
• 7:53
  free on the opening opening window yesterday before I got in
• 7:56
  the shower and headed to Altoona.
• 7:58
  But you know what I was glad because there's a the Caesar
• 8:00
  sports book had everything except the Iowa game, but that's
• 8:03
  OK. I watched it on my phone and
• 8:04
  then watched the the what do they call it on BTN?
• 8:08
  Whatever the the BTN in an hour, football in an hour, whatever
• 8:11
  the hell it's called. So let's get into that game.
• 8:13
  I, I have two the in hockey, there's the three stars.
• 8:17
  I, I came up with two in in the Iowa, Indiana game.
• 8:20
  The first star of the game was Kinnock Stadium.
• 8:23
  It was it was it. Almost did it again.
• 8:24
  Yeah, it almost did it again. And the second star, and it
• 8:27
  wasn't too far behind. The first star was Phil Parker.
• 8:29
  Yeah. My good God.
• 8:32
  They went man more than and blitz more than you can ever
• 8:35
  remember in the course of the game.
• 8:36
  He is such a good defensive coordinator, He truly is.
• 8:41
  This team doesn't tackle well. No, and that's, and I want and I
• 8:44
  if he, if Enteringer would tackle well.
• 8:47
  I thought that was his best game as a Hawk.
• 8:48
  Yeah, I thought Latmer played very well as well.
• 8:50
  I thought they both did particularly Enteringer, but
• 8:53
  there's a couple of missed tackles in there that you you
• 8:56
  just can't elevate them to that spot.
• 8:58
  But yeah, look, Kennick Stadium almost did it again, Trent, they
• 9:03
  all, I almost found a way to do what they do seemingly every
• 9:08
  year. That Indiana team's better than
• 9:09
  Iowa. Let's start right there.
• 9:11
  They're better than Iowa and both sides.
• 9:13
  I think they're a better football team.
• 9:15
  And yet it was the recipe it. Was there for the taking.
• 9:19
  And all it takes is a screen pass completion that I who wins
• 9:25
  that football game? I had a walk off chip shot and
• 9:27
  they that's. That's what it was.
• 9:29
  You're 100% right. Pull off the victory, 1613.
• 9:33
  That's all it takes. And to hold that Indiana team,
• 9:35
  which would have been 13 points, is unthinkable after what we've
• 9:38
  seen out of them and what they do week after week after week.
• 9:40
  They did it and it was the recipe and Phil Parker was a
• 9:43
  wizard and it was all right there and then.
• 9:45
  Guys didn't make plays. Yep, and OK, the least laces
• 9:48
  were to the side. Got to make that book.
• 9:49
  Yeah. No, you're right.
• 9:50
  You're 100%. Come on, Drew Stevens.
• 9:52
  Yeah, You're a senior. We went through this stuff
• 9:54
  again. Whatever's happening upstairs,
• 9:57
  Yanks another one. Just like he yanked one against
• 9:59
  Rutgers the week before. Did it?
• 10:00
  Did it? Did it pop into your head as he
• 10:02
  was lining up for the kick there?
• 10:03
  Oh boy. Yeah.
• 10:04
  See, it didn't to me. I just, I guess I going back to
• 10:07
  last year. And and maybe it was just the
• 10:09
  frustration of the game would have been basically salted away
• 10:11
  if you just make a completion on a screen pass with Hank Brown in
• 10:14
  the game. Yeah.
• 10:15
  And then Brown in the game. Now we go to that part of the
• 10:18
  conversation. So what, what, what, what do we
• 10:20
  know? The announcer said.
• 10:21
  It was an ankle. He came up with a knee brace
• 10:23
  which is funny if he has bad ankle.
• 10:24
  Yes, it isn't it. Isn't he Yes.
• 10:27
  Then he gets on the bike and then essentially that was the
• 10:29
  last we heard Hank Brown went the went the rest of the way.
• 10:32
  There is some speculation that they dodged a bullet, that it
• 10:36
  might not be as bad as first as as and some has feared.
• 10:40
  I don't know if that means he's back for Wisconsin.
• 10:42
  I don't know if that means he's going to miss a couple of games.
• 10:45
  I don't think we're going to find out from the coordinators
• 10:47
  tomorrow. Oh, I wouldn't think so either.
• 10:49
  No. I mean, we'll get probably we'll
• 10:51
  see not season ending the things that have been out there.
• 10:55
  Chad Leisenko had a report not feared to be a season ender.
• 10:59
  But does that be easy back for Wisconsin now?
• 11:01
  The bye week comes at a great time and and to figure out that
• 11:04
  part of it, but that Wisconsin game's a must win for this team
• 11:07
  to be bubble eligible, to be both eligible, this team has to
• 11:12
  beat Wisconsin on the road. It's very doable.
• 11:14
  Sure, it's got some stinks, they're awful, but it's still a
• 11:16
  road game and going to be a night game on top of it.
• 11:20
  That'll be a charged up and well lubricated Badger fan base for
• 11:23
  that one. Does the student section show up
• 11:26
  for that one? Because.
• 11:26
  They're no, that's not. Into.
• 11:28
  It that student section stinks, honestly.
• 11:30
  Well, when they're good, they're right.
• 11:33
  They are front runners and that has been the case ever since
• 11:36
  they got good. When it started to build under
• 11:38
  Berry in the early and mid 2000 or 90s it it was really good.
• 11:41
  Now that's not the case anymore. Now at this point front running
• 11:45
  and with everything that's happening inside that program,
• 11:48
  if they get pulverized by Michigan, I mean it's normal
• 11:51
  student section at Camp Randall unless it's like a top 10
• 11:54
  showdown doesn't fill up till the 2nd corner.
• 11:57
  This one, it's not African. Yeah, I don't think it is
• 11:59
  either. I thought I was running backs
• 12:01
  ran violently hard. That was my take away from
• 12:04
  especially Moulton. I mean, he ran his you know what
• 12:07
  off Sam Phillips looks as though his lights going on.
• 12:11
  Howard had a really nice catch on the sidelines.
• 12:13
  He's getting better again. Defensively, I thought entering
• 12:16
  it was really good, except for a couple of missed tackles.
• 12:18
  Deshawn Lee was OK in the football.
• 12:21
  Gave up the late 1. Gave up the late one.
• 12:23
  Yeah, true. But and, and for the people that
• 12:25
  are criticizing the play call, they're going all out blitz.
• 12:27
  That's what they did all game. That's how they stayed in the
• 12:30
  game. Go what's the old headline dance
• 12:33
  with the girl that brought you the blitz package was what
• 12:36
  brought them to that point to tackle and there was no help
• 12:40
  behind him, but that's what they did.
• 12:42
  There was a lot in that game, a lot of what ifs and a lot of
• 12:45
  frustration of what it could have been.
• 12:47
  Let's start with Granowski. If he doesn't get hurt, I won't
• 12:48
  win that game. If lot more cuts back, gets to
• 12:51
  the end zone maybe I think I would get that game even as much
• 12:53
  time as still would have been left on the clock.
• 12:55
  If you complete a screen pass, you win that game.
• 12:58
  That's the big one to me is the screen pass that that was the
• 13:01
  big. One editor Stevens makes the
• 13:02
  field goal. This very well could be a
• 13:04
  different that that pressure and that charged up atmosphere up by
• 13:09
  three with two minutes left. I think we're also having a
• 13:11
  different I. Think we probably are as well.
• 13:13
  I I was surprised when those who ran into the end zone at the end
• 13:16
  of the game. Yeah, that was weird.
• 13:17
  We. Just run our bounds, right?
• 13:18
  Get to the five and run our bounds.
• 13:20
  You get to the end zone. I mean, that's the only way you
• 13:21
  can lose. The ball hits the deck somehow.
• 13:23
  And if you took the opener, had it early in the week at 6 1/2,
• 13:27
  and I know there were a few people that had that, I think it
• 13:31
  also impacted the second-half of spread.
• 13:33
  I saw something like that. There is, yeah, something
• 13:35
  speaking. And late in the first half,
• 13:37
  you're you're up 10, seven, all the momentum in the world.
• 13:41
  Missed tackle. Yeah.
• 13:42
  Wrapped up. He squeezes out.
• 13:45
  Merryweather gets called for a ticky tack.
• 13:46
  Personal foul. I can't touch him.
• 13:48
  Nope. So be it, you throw your hands
• 13:50
  up and they get a field goal to tie at 10:10.
• 13:52
  It just it, it felt deflating even at that moment before the
• 13:55
  second-half happened and then things were charged up again.
• 13:57
  But so many times where and you gifted him 10 points, you give
• 14:00
  him 7, nothing lead right off the bat off a tip ball, no
• 14:03
  defense on those two plays. And then after that, it was all
• 14:07
  Iowa defense. It was there.
• 14:09
  It was A7. Nothing.
• 14:11
  I thought, Oh my God, look out below.
• 14:13
  Yeah, this is going to be brutal.
• 14:14
  We'll see where it goes. But yeah, good stuff.
• 14:18
  Well, not good stuff for Iowa. Again, I, I, I feel if you were
• 14:24
  in the, if you were in the building, hats off.
• 14:26
  You did your best to lift that team.
• 14:28
  Iowa State, just Rocco Beck, it just continues to amaze me.
• 14:32
  He truly does. He's, he's way better than I
• 14:35
  ever thought he was going to be. I, I thought there, there has to
• 14:37
  be a let down, right? You got Brock Purdy's leading
• 14:39
  teams to Super Bowls. There's got to be a let down.
• 14:42
  But Purdy is, I mean, but Beck is just, he's a football player,
• 14:45
  comes from a football family. You can tell he's just smart
• 14:48
  between the years. So damn smart.
• 14:51
  Steve is up. Steve, welcome to the program.
• 14:52
  How are you? Good.
• 14:54
  How are you guys? What's up?
• 14:56
  Hey, just on the Hawkeye offense, first of all, I'm it's
• 15:00
  night and day compared to when the previous coordinator was
• 15:03
  there, so I don't want to be too harsh on Tim Lester.
• 15:07
  However, Iowa State Game Flow Mesh ran it to.
• 15:12
  Death, but it worked. Rutgers game quarterback running
• 15:17
  plays called from the huddle worked great.
• 15:21
  This game. We didn't do either of those.
• 15:25
  So what just basically, we go into a game, we watch film, and
• 15:30
  no matter what worked the week before, we have a game plan that
• 15:33
  is catered to what they're doing.
• 15:37
  Or you didn't want or you thought maybe that that's what
• 15:40
  they would be expecting. I don't know what was in his
• 15:42
  mind, but you're you're right. They they didn't do that, and
• 15:46
  maybe they should have. That was the part of separately
• 15:49
  in the beginning of the game kind of wondering and they
• 15:51
  talked about a lot on the broadcast.
• 15:52
  Phil Simms mentioned it a few different times for.
• 15:55
  Him, by the way. He's all right.
• 15:56
  I thought so too and he got, he got criticized a lot apparently.
• 16:00
  Thanks for the call, Steve. I appreciate it.
• 16:02
  Do you have anything else, Steve?
• 16:03
  No. OK, appreciate the call.
• 16:05
  So I guess he started, Well, I know he did because I was
• 16:08
  listening. At the end of the first quarter,
• 16:10
  he started to talk over the wave.
• 16:12
  Oh, OK. And then not long, he realizes,
• 16:16
  well, what's this all about is I think I'm paraphrasing.
• 16:18
  And then he realized maybe no one alerted him that, you know,
• 16:20
  what's about to happen, which surprises the hell out of me
• 16:23
  that they didn't. But I thought it was.
• 16:24
  I thought it was good. Yeah.
• 16:26
  Yeah, he was completely fine. I I didn't see any major
• 16:29
  concerns on that front. He was fine.
• 16:33
  I I enjoyed him and Burmeister both talking about the
• 16:35
  quarterbacks. I didn't listen to a ton of it.
• 16:38
  Softball. OK.
• 16:39
  Yeah, so I'm in charge of the streaming of the games, so I got
• 16:43
  the camera set up, so I got the hot spot on my phone.
• 16:47
  If you stream these. Games.
• 16:48
  Oh yeah, yeah. Got to have all, you know,
• 16:50
  Grandpa, grandma's got to be able to see it too if they can't
• 16:52
  make it to the game. So we live in.
• 16:53
  So we're doing that and got that going.
• 16:55
  And then Peacock is not agreeing with me out of the ballparks and
• 16:59
  we are having some fights. So finally, yeah, I was just
• 17:01
  watching and not listening so I didn't get a ton.
• 17:03
  And then when I rewatched it last night, it was Fast forward
• 17:06
  30 seconds, Fast forward 30 seconds.
• 17:08
  So did not get a ton of the commentator, so I shouldn't say.
• 17:11
  But the little bit that I did hear on Phil Simms, I I thought
• 17:13
  it was fine. But yeah, I didn't hear that
• 17:15
  part of it. And that would definitely be a
• 17:16
  miss our. Colleague Heather Burnside does
• 17:18
  not agree with our. Oh, she doesn't like Phil Simms.
• 17:21
  She did not like Phil Simms, but she said to be fair, she didn't
• 17:24
  like him when he's in the NFL either.
• 17:26
  So yeah, but but it was it was a mixed bag.
• 17:29
  There was a there was a lot of criticism out there of Sims.
• 17:33
  I thought it was OK, not great, but but but certainly OK.
• 17:35
  But Burmeister was was terrific and Peacock did a nice job for
• 17:39
  the most part, I thought. Still too many commercials?
• 17:41
  First stream a game. Do we need that many
• 17:42
  commercials? Speaking of commercials, how
• 17:44
  much Ryder Cup did you see? I did not watch a shot.
• 17:47
  Yesterday. Did you see much on Saturday?
• 17:50
  No, I thought it was over the top.
• 17:52
  I mean, anytime you're chucking beer at the player's wife.
• 17:54
  Yeah, yeah, that's, that's that's too far.
• 17:58
  The public redress announcer on the first team, remember the guy
• 18:02
  the British opening became famous for that, who would start
• 18:05
  at 6:00 in the morning and. And wouldn't leave his post
• 18:08
  until the final group. Rory Baccaro.
• 18:09
  Yeah. And he wouldn't take a piss.
• 18:11
  He just, he was just there the whole time.
• 18:12
  And then finally he'd he'd head, he'd head to the bathroom.
• 18:16
  So on Saturday morning, the public redress person, I think
• 18:22
  it was a woman, she was leading. You ready for this?
• 18:27
  Oh yes, I I did see 2. Initials.
• 18:29
  I'm not going to say them because I don't want to cross
• 18:30
  the line. You can probably guess.
• 18:33
  One starts with S, so you can I'll leave it to you the F The
• 18:36
  other I'll just leave to your imagination.
• 18:38
  F Blank, Rory and in Unison. Yeah, the PA announcer.
• 18:45
  The PA. Announcer The.
• 18:47
  Course starter, right the the starter is leading that chant
• 18:52
  now. She didn't get a chance to.
• 18:53
  She was fired in in advance of Sunday.
• 18:55
  But I thought it was way over the top.
• 18:57
  I did. I mean, that's not golf.
• 18:59
  And we almost saw a great. Comeback, comeback.
• 19:02
  You did well. You did see a comeback.
• 19:04
  I was watching football. I was flipping around.
• 19:06
  You know what one more thing before we go to break.
• 19:09
  AI had a terrible weekend because Green Bay Tide did not
• 19:11
  matter Survivor. But I think the worst part, the
• 19:14
  worst part of my weekend, and this is not even close.
• 19:20
  Just when I thought they were dead.
• 19:23
  OK, at the city. Just when I thought it was over.
• 19:28
  It's not. How do they do this to me?
• 19:32
  Well, they got healthy after year after year.
• 19:36
  And how do we go through the same conversations Spring and?
• 19:39
  Summer because they can't keep winning.
• 19:41
  Why? Is is 15 retiring?
• 19:44
  I don't care if he's not or if he is or he's not.
• 19:47
  They can't keep winning. Tom Brady kept winning.
• 19:52
  Not to this level, did he? Yeah.
• 19:54
  They won a bunch. Yeah.
• 19:55
  I missed the Pat. The Patriots domination.
• 19:59
  This drives me bonkers. And they're going to get better
• 20:03
  because Rice is coming back. The Ravens defense stinks.
• 20:06
  The Bills defense stinks. Awful.
• 20:08
  These are this. Is the most complete team in
• 20:10
  football and. That's coming from Ken Bronco
• 20:15
  fan. I I was so pissed off that I
• 20:18
  switched and watched your bears. Did you?
• 20:20
  Yes. I couldn't believe how good
• 20:23
  Kansas City looked when everybody that hates them had
• 20:27
  their shovels full of dirt and was This is finally it.
• 20:30
  Ding Dong, the witch is dead. Nope.
• 20:34
  Wait till they get Rice back with Worthy.
• 20:37
  My God the defense. The offensive line was terrific.
• 20:42
  And he got knocked out of great and he got knocked out of
• 20:44
  Survivor because of a tie. Because of a tie.
• 20:47
  But that's the rules. Yeah, it is.
• 20:49
  That's the rules. You didn't.
• 20:50
  We didn't survive. Freaking chiefs.
• 20:53
  Take a time out. Come back Bill Seals on Iowa
• 20:57

• 21:43
  He covers Iowa State cyclonereport.com Bill Trenton
• 21:46
  can thank you for coming on here today.
• 21:48
  As always, great to speak with you.
• 21:50
  I thought it was Iowa State's maybe most complete game of
• 21:54
  their five and O start coming out of the coming out of the
• 21:57
  buy. Arizona also had a buy really
• 22:00
  impressed the way Iowa State took care of business.
• 22:03
  I thought maybe that was their best game of the year.
• 22:05
  Bill, how about that? Yeah, I would, I would agree
• 22:07
  with you, Kenny. I think that they they came out
• 22:10
  and and they got off to the good start that they needed to.
• 22:13
  And I think that that really set the tone for the game.
• 22:16
  You know, they, they come in and and get the the touchdown, the
• 22:21
  two point conversion. And I thought that that really
• 22:23
  kind of set the tone again and, and they they kind of dominated
• 22:27
  from there. I thought they they did a great
• 22:30
  job against against Fafeta, the Arizona quarterback, you know,
• 22:35
  they had just a week before really struggled against Jalen
• 22:39
  Rayner and then just ran all over him, it seemed like.
• 22:42
  But I think that they were on their keys from this very start
• 22:46
  against the Arizona QB did a good job there.
• 22:49
  You know, they held their throne, I guess, running the
• 22:52
  ball. It wasn't an area that they were
• 22:54
  dominant in. But you know, again, I thought
• 22:56
  Rocco gosh, 14 to 20 passing in that game.
• 23:00
  He saw his touchdown streak and he scores 3 rushing touchdowns.
• 23:05
  Maybe one of those will count. But then Carson Hansen really
• 23:08
  got him going as well, his first two touchdowns of the game of
• 23:12
  the season in that game. What do bring up Jameson Patton
• 23:16
  to you and begin his career? Roosevelt finished up at Ankeny.
• 23:19
  Guy, Local guy at a pub, and now this is a guy that had a lot of
• 23:23
  opportunities, want to stay close to home, makes his way up
• 23:25
  to aims. And though he played a little
• 23:27
  bit, he was kind of part of that substitution pattern at safety.
• 23:30
  Had a couple of interceptions early in his career.
• 23:33
  Feels like he's taken that next step that he's gone from a fine
• 23:36
  player. He's turned into a really good
• 23:38
  player and Neil's going to get the headlines as he should
• 23:40
  because he's a stud. But boy, Jameson Patton has
• 23:42
  really grown into a really, really good safety.
• 23:45
  Yeah, he he really has. And gosh, what what good timing
• 23:49
  for him to have his breakout season when they, you know,
• 23:52
  turnover 3 starters at the at the safety position.
• 23:55
  And Patton's one of them. And along with Marcus Neal,
• 23:58
  those two have been just revelations like in this
• 24:01
  defense, you know, in addition to Dominic Orange, probably the
• 24:05
  three best players on the defensive side of the ball from
• 24:09
  the start of the season. So, yeah, I mean, Patton had
• 24:11
  another pick in the game against Arizona and, and yeah, really
• 24:15
  coming into his own. And I I think he he's talked a
• 24:17
  lot to to to the media about him playing quarterback in high
• 24:22
  school and, and just kind of the understanding that it gave him
• 24:25
  of that side of the ball of of the quarterbacks maybe mindset
• 24:30
  thinking and playing safety like that where he's stationed.
• 24:35
  I mean, that's that that's a pretty big, you know, to know
• 24:38
  that position inside and out. I think it has been crucial for
• 24:42
  him and and his. You mentioned orange, any
• 24:45
  updates? Are you going to have to wait
• 24:47
  until tomorrow? Will Campbell have a further
• 24:49
  update tomorrow? Is there any fear that it might
• 24:51
  be? This might keep him out for
• 24:54
  Saturday against Cincinnati. What are you hearing there, if
• 24:56
  anything, Bill? Well, after the, well the post
• 24:59
  game press conference afterwards, we weren't led to
• 25:02
  believe it was going to be anything that's going to keep
• 25:04
  him out. We might get a little more out
• 25:07
  of Campbell tomorrow and then we'll be back into that mode of
• 25:10
  getting the availability reports starting on Wednesday.
• 25:13
  So it might be Wednesday when we get those first availability
• 25:19
  reports that we we get a sense on on his status moving into
• 25:24
  Saturday. Running game was a little bit
• 25:26
  better. I, I think throughout the course
• 25:28
  of the year, I think it's unlikely we're going to see them
• 25:31
  be able to be elite at that level.
• 25:32
  Offensive line. It's not at that level, but we
• 25:35
  know they can protect certainly, but get the run game going and
• 25:37
  seeing a whole bunch of Carson Hanson.
• 25:39
  Is it Hanson being a little bit more healthy, just being more
• 25:42
  comfortable because we only saw 2 running backs in this game,
• 25:45
  Hanson and Sama. Do you anticipate this is what
• 25:48
  if, if both those guys are healthy, that it's going to be
• 25:51
  Hanson about 2/3 of the snaps, Sama about 1/3.
• 25:54
  Is that kind of a a fairway to look at this in the running game
• 25:57
  going forward? Yeah, you're probably right.
• 26:00
  I I think it's probably 2 every, every three carries.
• 26:03
  Hanson's going to get two of them.
• 26:05
  That seemed to be that. Well, that's how it played out.
• 26:08
  And Hanson got 19 against the the Wildcats and I believe it
• 26:12
  was 12 for Sama in that game. So similar split.
• 26:16
  And as far as like who the, the, the dominant running back is,
• 26:21
  I'm not sure I've got that from game to game.
• 26:24
  I should say I'm not sure where I've got that one figured out
• 26:26
  yet. It seems like once we think it's
• 26:29
  it's handsome that's maybe seizing a little bit of control,
• 26:32
  then Abu will come out and have maybe his best game that that
• 26:35
  he's played. So I think it's a healthy
• 26:38
  rotation right now. Dylan Lee, he got a few carries
• 26:42
  in that game on Saturday as well.
• 26:44
  So I think they like what they have right now out of that
• 26:48
  triumvirate there at at running back and Hanson also, he's doing
• 26:52
  a nice job catching the ball. And but I, I think 1 saying as
• 26:56
  I, as I go through these PFF grades each week, I think the
• 27:00
  one thing maybe separating Hanson and Sama right now is
• 27:03
  just that on passing downs, they've got to have Hanson in
• 27:07
  the game because he's the better pass blocker right now.
• 27:11
  So I think when Sama's in the game, the opponents probably
• 27:15
  know what's coming their way. It's going to be a run.
• 27:17
  And and with Hanson, it maybe makes them question that a
• 27:21
  little bit more just because Hanson can pass block so well
• 27:24
  and also done pretty well catching the ball out of the
• 27:27
  backfield. Bill Seals cycling reporters,
• 27:29
  our guest Bill said at the beginning of the show.
• 27:31
  I was really impressed the way Matt Campbell handled Chase
• 27:33
  Smith, the the kicker, the third string kicker who's been forced
• 27:37
  into duty with two injuries. I love the fact that they went
• 27:40
  for too early. They were able to get it.
• 27:42
  So the next time they score a touchdown that takes the
• 27:44
  pressure off, it's it's would be too, you know, normal 14, seven
• 27:48
  points would be 14 if he had missed.
• 27:51
  But he didn't and he didn't miss the entire day.
• 27:53
  I thought that that might have been a good confidence builder
• 27:57
  to let him wait a little bit and not send him out there after the
• 28:00
  first touchdown to try and, you know, split the sticks.
• 28:02
  I thought Campbell did a nice job there.
• 28:05
  Yeah, yeah. And, and when things work out
• 28:07
  the way they plan them and it, it always looks like that
• 28:10
  they're all genius. That's right.
• 28:12
  And then, you know, it certainly did the the two point conversion
• 28:15
  got them, got them rolling. And I, I think also, gosh, the
• 28:18
  defensively that really had a huge thing too with the just the
• 28:22
  tempo, the momentum of the game there.
• 28:24
  But yeah, they get they get Smith out of there early on the
• 28:27
  two point conversion with 43 seconds left to go in the
• 28:31
  fourth. He kicks the 34 yard field goal
• 28:34
  at 1:00. Yep, looked pretty good.
• 28:36
  So, yeah, I mean, all all things positive, I think for Chase
• 28:40
  Smith coming out of that game and they're going to need him
• 28:43
  here over the next few weeks. What are you on the road?
• 28:46
  What are you hearing on Conradi anything?
• 28:47
  Is there any timeline? Any speculation?
• 28:51
  I think it's weeks right now with where he's concerned.
• 28:54
  It sounds like with Jace Gilbert though it might be season we're
• 28:57
  talking about, but he hoped to get Gilbert back by the end of
• 29:00
  the year. We'll see how that plays out.
• 29:02
  But yeah, I I think maybe with Conrady, this is just me
• 29:06
  guessing right now is maybe coming out of that second by
• 29:09
  week could be a good target game for him when they they return
• 29:14
  home for those two games late 1st would be later in October.
• 29:20
  Let's jump over to story of the game for me.
• 29:23
  And that was so well what we saw from him.
• 29:25
  Another chase, a different chase and the big play that he had
• 29:29
  early in the game, just short of the goal line would have got him
• 29:32
  into the end zone on that one. But that deep threat, we know
• 29:35
  what they can do in the passing game.
• 29:37
  We know they got the underneath guys and obviously what they
• 29:39
  have at the tight end position, getting a playmaker like this,
• 29:42
  that outside big speed guy that they've had year after year
• 29:45
  after year and under Campbell, getting him out there.
• 29:47
  Is this what you anticipate now going forward?
• 29:51
  Yeah, I would think so. And then Xavier Townsend, he had
• 29:55
  the he had the one almost fumble, I think between yeah,
• 29:59
  those two, the big ones moving forward with him and those two,
• 30:03
  Brett Eskelsen, yeah. So well, looked really good in
• 30:07
  that game. And he had the one, the first
• 30:09
  one, he almost looked like he was going to break for a
• 30:11
  touchdown and then had the one down to the one yard line.
• 30:15
  But one of the one of the subscribers on my board, you
• 30:18
  know, he's got a lot of drawn a lot of comparisons so well has
• 30:22
  to Jayden Higgins. But one that the guy on my site
• 30:26
  compared him to was Quentin Bundridge.
• 30:28
  I'm not that's going very, very similar players.
• 30:33
  You know, now that I think about it with what Bundridge brought a
• 30:37
  lot of similarities there as well.
• 30:38
  But yeah, he's going to be a key factor moving forward.
• 30:42
  He's he gets open a lot. That's the other thing.
• 30:45
  And and believe it or not, he had played going even going into
• 30:48
  Saturday. It played the second most snaps
• 30:51
  of any wide receiver on our Iowa State's roster.
• 30:54
  So he had already been on the field a lot, but now I think
• 30:57
  he's really that in the end of the system now and and Rocco's
• 31:02
  got a lot of confidence in him and I think that's just going to
• 31:05
  keep growing in in future week. We got like 30 seconds left,
• 31:08
  Bill back to the defense, thought the linebackers are
• 31:10
  terrific. No, no surprise.
• 31:12
  Getting Willick back was great. Ebel played well.
• 31:15
  Caleb Bacon was all over the field.
• 31:16
  He might have been the best player on defense and that's
• 31:19
  saying a lot because I love the way John Tez William baited
• 31:22
  Fafita into that pic. I thought Trey Bell was Trey
• 31:24
  Bell lot. A lot of positives with
• 31:27
  Haycock's defense again. Yeah, no doubt.
• 31:30
  And that they they did a good job against an Arizona offense
• 31:34
  that had really been, they've been putting up some points and
• 31:36
  grinding out a lot of yards against some good opponents.
• 31:39
  So yeah, a big factor there. And I think they did a good job
• 31:42
  against the quarterback run in that game.
• 31:44
  And then the two picks, those were very timely picks to both
• 31:48
  in Iowa State territory when those were made.
• 31:51
  So kept some points off the board for the Wildcats in that
• 31:55
  one and gave the ball right back to the offense.

  and we will talk with you next week.

  Thank you, Bill, Good to talk to you.
• 32:11
  Phone cut out right the right time.
• 32:13
  If there is a right time for a phone to cut out, we'll take a
• 32:15
  time out. Matt Rudy will recap the Ryder
• 32:17
  Cup. It goes to the EUR got tight
• 32:19
  yesterday Miller and Condon on the Iowa Sports Radio Network.
• 32:25
  I'm Hillary Condon. Welcome back Iowa Sports Radio
• 32:27
  Network Trent Condon Ken Miller coming up in our number 2 Bama.
• 32:31
  Bob Trent and I recap the week at college football.
• 32:33
  Scott Dockerman from the athletic he was Kennick stain in
• 32:36
  the press box will get his thoughts on Indiana and Iowa.
• 32:39
  Matt Rudy joins us for all the big golf events that we had one.
• 32:43
  And you know what? I wasn't sure was going to be,
• 32:45
  well, calling this a big event. But boy, yesterday turned out
• 32:48
  fascinating. Is down the stretch they come
• 32:50
  and there was a chance, maybe a miraculous comeback.
• 32:54
  But Ludwig Oberg is the only Euro to win this match
• 32:57
  yesterday, which is remarkable that they won one match and yet
• 33:01
  won the Ryder Cup on Sunday. That was fascinating.
• 33:04
  Matt Rudy, how are you? I'm good and like you, I was
• 33:08
  ready to to tap out on this FPL 2 days and it was pretty boring.
• 33:13
  And then to have it come down to the end like it did.
• 33:17
  I think we talked about this in major championship season all
• 33:20
  the time. Majors are hard to win, Ryder
• 33:22
  Cups are hard to win. You know, there's a lot of
• 33:24
  pressure and you see players doing a lot of things that they
• 33:27
  don't normally do because they're, you know, it's really
• 33:30
  stressful. And to me, that's, that's what
• 33:35
  makes it fun to watch. It's to see how players deal
• 33:38
  with high stress situations and we saw the good and the bad.
• 33:43
  We saw the fans getting on people.
• 33:44
  We saw, you know, we saw people leaving 8 foot Bernie puts short
• 33:48
  that they needed to have. And you know, the second
• 33:53
  guessing is off the charts because I mean, the event is so,
• 33:58
  you know, there's so few people on the course at a given time
• 34:01
  and the stakes are so high for any individual match that it's
• 34:04
  just an ocean of second guessing even.
• 34:07
  I mean, the minute the ball rolls by the hole, everyone's
• 34:09
  saying, well, they should have done this, you should have done
• 34:11
  this. And I think it's the the
• 34:15
  intensity level might have been cranked up about two notches too
• 34:18
  high. I am glad.
• 34:20
  I'm glad that there was some drama on Sunday.
• 34:22
  The, there was a theory that I heard on Friday that I, I, I
• 34:26
  liked, I, it kind of clicked with my mind is not using those
• 34:30
  rookies early in the opening. You know, when things got
• 34:33
  started, Tee in the ground Friday morning, because those
• 34:35
  guys all of a sudden went out there for America and they're
• 34:38
  down 31. And and the amount of pressure
• 34:40
  that you have in that kind of moment already before you get it
• 34:43
  going, Do you think it makes sense?
• 34:45
  And is that something that you question King and Bradley?
• 34:48
  Was there something maybe more important that you saw If we're
• 34:51
  coming up with questions? I thought that was a good one
• 34:52
  and a good theory. Get those young guys out there
• 34:55
  early, kind of get their feet on the ground and and go in that
• 34:57
  pressure, not knowing what it's obviously going to look like.
• 35:00
  You don't want to dig yourself a hole, but if you do, those
• 35:02
  rookies are in some deep trouble.
• 35:05
  Yeah, I also think that if you do the lead in to the tournament
• 35:10
  the right way, nobody really feels like a rookie.
• 35:12
  I mean, if everybody's, you know, like, like the I'll just,
• 35:16
  I mean, I guess we're all going to jump up and down on the
• 35:18
  Americans. But the Europeans, they came to
• 35:20
  New York 10 days before so they could be acclimated in the time
• 35:24
  zone. They played all the great
• 35:25
  courses out on Long Island together.
• 35:27
  I'm sure they all played in the configurations that they were
• 35:30
  going to play in when they got to that page.
• 35:32
  So by the time you actually get to Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
• 35:35
  Sunday, this isn't some big, I mean, yes, it's a new experience
• 35:39
  for the rookies, but it's not as big and new as it would have
• 35:41
  been because everybody's so comfortable from doing it
• 35:44
  before. And then the one thing I that
• 35:48
  strikes me about this, and I've covered a whole bunch of Ryder
• 35:51
  Cups because we've really gotten to the point where I know I, I
• 35:54
  believe that a lot of players look at it and they say, well,
• 35:56
  you know, yeah, I've got to do it because it's the Ryder Cup.
• 35:59
  But there's no joy in in doing it for a lot of those players.
• 36:02
  It looks like an assignment for a lot of the American players,
• 36:06
  whereas the Europeans, they they can't wait to go do it.
• 36:09
  And I think the way the PGA of America, for example, announces
• 36:13
  the prize money or the players are getting paid on the Monday
• 36:17
  of the event. So that's something everybody
• 36:19
  gets asked about. To me, all that stuff is just
• 36:22
  adds distractions and headaches to an event that is really a no
• 36:27
  win for the American players. If you beat the Europeans brains
• 36:31
  in and while you're supposed to because it's the deeper tour.
• 36:33
  And then if you lose, you know, I mean, look at look at the
• 36:37
  narrative from this week. Are we going to call this a
• 36:39
  failure? Are we going to call this a, you
• 36:41
  know, heroic try? And it's there's so much
• 36:45
  invested in this now and it just seems like it's becoming a drag
• 36:49
  for the players because because of all of the outside chatter
• 36:53
  around it. Yeah, no doubt.
• 36:54
  I mean, Luke, Donald you mentioned brought them here
• 36:56
  early. They changed the bedding.
• 36:58
  They went as far as to change the shampoo in the showers.
• 37:01
  I mean, this guy left no stone unturned, you know, to your
• 37:04
  point about, but it seems like the Americans, it's something
• 37:07
  they have to do in the EUR, how much it means Shane Lowry won
• 37:11
  the Open Championship and I think it was his home course,
• 37:14
  right? Certainly his home country.
• 37:16
  And he said the biggest event in his life was the Ryder Cup
• 37:20
  yesterday when he sunk that putt, that nothing in the game
• 37:23
  of golf that he's done is bigger than this.
• 37:26
  It just goes to show you that the EUR seemingly take this more
• 37:30
  serious. It means more to them.
• 37:33
  Yeah. And I think that because golf is
• 37:35
  such an individual sport in general, part of what makes the
• 37:38
  rhetoric of fun is to see this team component come in that we
• 37:42
  don't always see a lot of. And I mean, I don't want to
• 37:46
  single out the current players because for sure, Tiger Woods
• 37:50
  and Phil Mickelson, for example, did not really fully invest in
• 37:54
  the whole Ryder Cup experience for a good 15 years.
• 37:57
  I mean, you're talking about two inner circle first ballot Hall
• 38:00
  of Fame players that have losing records in the Ryder Cup, which
• 38:03
  which you know, is if you think about that now we're now you
• 38:06
  start to talk about Scotty Scheffler in that same vein, and
• 38:10
  we're going to talk about 3 inner circle Hall of Fame
• 38:14
  American players who have a less than 500 record at the Ryder
• 38:17
  Cup. And that's a testament, I think,
• 38:19
  to the way the American pairings get made A&B to just how much
• 38:24
  bigger than the stats the European players play to.
• 38:28
  I mean, Tommy Fleetwood, this is not a great example this year
• 38:31
  because you know, he won the FedEx Cup.
• 38:32
  But you know, this is a guy who over the last two Ryder Cups has
• 38:35
  certainly outplayed his world ranking.
• 38:38
  And, and when you see that, you know, Shane Lowry, nice career,
• 38:42
  you know, good player, definitely not one of the 10
• 38:45
  best players in the world, but you know, he played against the
• 38:48
  guy. I mean, I think Russell Henley
• 38:50
  made 8 birdies. He played a guy who made 8
• 38:52
  birdies with a fantastic shot of the bunker on the last hole to
• 38:56
  set up, you know, a key win for the Americans.
• 38:59
  And he calmly steps up and hits his shot inside and, you know,
• 39:03
  makes a birdie that the team needs.
• 39:05
  And, and I think the American, Scotty, Scotty Scheffler has
• 39:08
  proven he can certainly do that on his own ball.
• 39:11
  I mean, he, they hurt him and he did it for his country.
• 39:14
  You know, he shot 62 at the Olympics.
• 39:16
  I mean, that's a pretty great performance.
• 39:17
  But there's just something flatter about this event, not
• 39:21
  that they can't do it, but that, you know, if it doesn't work.
• 39:23
  And I think they kind of just go, well, OK, I mean, I guess
• 39:26
  we'll do this again in two years.
• 39:27
  So just 30 seconds on this, the timing, September, Ken and I
• 39:32
  talked about it last week. Is there anything that can be
• 39:34
  done? It's just it's football, you've
• 39:35
  heard it before. Anything at all, any possible
• 39:38
  move of this to put it at a different time, to make it
• 39:40
  palpable for the casual sports fan.
• 39:43
  I think they should keep it at the same time, but just do it in
• 39:45
  the middle of the week. I mean, these weeks.
• 39:48
  So, you know, if my kids are huge football, you know, they
• 39:51
  watch college football and Pro Football and they're they're
• 39:54
  beside themselves when we get to Tuesday and Wednesday when
• 39:56
  there's no football on. I mean that that would be the
• 39:59
  time to do it during this time of year when you're not butting
• 40:02
  up against all these other events.
• 40:04
  But, you know, I think the bigger thing that needs to
• 40:06
  happen is if we keep having these weird blowouts and sort of
• 40:10
  disinterested showings, when are we going to get to where people
• 40:13
  don't care? About this as much as they used
• 40:15
  to, I think it needs to get back to a more exciting and civilized
• 40:21
  crowd situation where it's not so ugly and and, you know, where
• 40:24
  it's really a genuine thrill to watch it.
• 40:27
  And the people are, you know, it's an intense atmosphere, but
• 40:29
  it's not ugly and the, you know, and it's become something that
• 40:33
  the players enjoy doing that that's what makes for a good TV
• 40:37
  event and competitive event. If those are lackluster, yeah, I
• 40:41
  mean, it's going to lose its luster as an never mind where it
• 40:44
  is on the schedule. Yeah, Saturday was ugly, as they
• 40:47
  said on Sky Sports, When it comes to Tiger and Scotty,
• 40:49
  sometimes the best hunters prefer to hunt alone.
• 40:52
  We will hunt you down in November to talk about Michigan
• 40:54
  State, where you graduated from in Iowa.
• 40:57
  Thank you, Matt Rudy, for doing this.
• 40:58
  Out of time. Appreciate.
• 40:59
  We'll talk to you in November. Thank you.
• 41:02
  You bet. Hour 2.
