Bama Bob previews College Football, Eugene Rapay on the Cyclones & Football Friday Picks presented by Circa Sports · The Lunch Rush with Trent Condon

0:00
Hour number two, welcome back Miller and Condon on the Iowa
0:02
Sports Radio Network. Trent Condon, Ken Miller talking
0:06
sports with you. We're flag shipped on a Des
0:08
Moines sports station. One O 6.3 KX&O, Trenton.
0:11
I live at the Hyvee in Urbandale.
0:14
The Spooktacular spirits sale. We're at the corner of Urbandale
0:18
and Douglas. How'd they do?
0:19
Got it, Got it. Nailed it.
0:22
Urbandale and Douglas. Douglas and 86 Douglas.
0:26
Absolutely. Again, follow all the cars that
0:28
are making their way in here in Urban 86th and Douglas and
0:32
Urbandale. That's where we are.
0:33
It's the high V and it's absolutely packed.
0:35
And why wouldn't it be? You will find these prices only
0:38
once a year. The Spooktacular spirit sale.
0:41
Spooktacular spirit sale going on.
0:44
We'll be here until 2:00 and then of course, off the bench
0:47
with Lucas and Sean. They'll be here 2 until 5:00.
0:50
If you won one of those Hyvee gift card, you got to get down
0:54
here before 5:00 to redeem it. We've got a number of $100,
0:58
Winter Trent, but those seemingly are slowing down a
1:00
little bit, but we never know what's in these.
1:02
There's still many more $100. If you haven't come down and
1:05
redeemed it, stop by. You'll be glad you did.
1:07
Here's Bama. Bob, you heard the music as we
1:09
take a look at some of the bigger games this week.
1:11
Bama, Trent and Ken, as always, thank you, brother.
1:14
Let's just start get right into it.
1:16
Your thoughts Penn State and I will the question that Trent and
1:19
I've had well today and throughout the week is what do
1:22
we expect from this Penn State? Is this a team that to win one
1:26
for Franklin? Is this a team that's thrown in
1:28
the towel because seemingly their season's not going to end
1:31
up the way that they thought it would?
1:33
I was see I was arrow seemingly is pointing up.
1:36
What do you expect to see, Bama? I was a three-point favorite
1:39
over Penn State. Yeah, this is a tough one, I
1:42
think, for Iowa. I don't know that the Franklin
1:44
firing could have come at a worst time for them.
1:47
Really. That team does seem to the last
1:50
three games. I think Oregon took a little bit
1:52
out of them and of course UCLA and Northwestern they they
1:55
didn't seem to be playing with much fire or passion.
1:59
So I think at Franklin and the coach, I'm like Iowa a little
2:01
bit more here. You just you don't know what to
2:03
expect. You don't know if this is a
2:04
rally around Franklin or or rally around the new quarterback
2:09
and you don't know what to expect from him either.
2:11
Obviously. I mean you're not seeing him.
2:13
You you're probably getting ready for Drew our the whole
2:15
time and and now you got a new guy in there.
2:17
So, I mean, it's a game you would think Iowa kind of has to
2:21
win. They should win Penn State.
2:23
You mentioned it. I mean, they're done.
2:24
They're not going to the playoff.
2:25
They're not going to the Big 10 championship game.
2:27
They're, you know, they're 8-9 win season and they're not going
2:29
anywhere except to awhocares.com Bowl at the end of the year.
2:33
You know, Iowa still, you know, mathematically, I guess, in the
2:37
Big 10 hunt. How realistic is that?
2:41
That's up for debate. But yeah, I mean, I think it's a
2:44
dangerous spot. I I should win the game.
2:46
But you've seen this. I mean, Trent knows this better
2:48
than anybody. I mean, the games they should
2:50
win, they struggle. They games they have no chance
2:53
in, they they you'll have a chance to pull an upset.
2:55
But I like Iowa to win the game. I don't know about the 3 1/2,
2:59
but I think this is a game if you really want to be taken
3:01
seriously in the Big 10s game, Iowa has to win at home prime
3:04
time over a team that just fired their coach.
3:09
UCAUCUSC and Notre Dame Trent Condon.
3:13
So this game, the point spread is painting a different picture
3:16
than I think what our eyes see. This thing's still north of a
3:19
touchdown. It's around 10 on top of it.
3:22
Notre Dame's going to be without their starting center, going to
3:25
be without their starting defensive tackle, and yet it's
3:29
still in that nine and a half, 10 range.
3:31
I can't wrap my mind around it. I absolutely would jump on board
3:34
with USC. It wasn't just USC beat Michigan
3:37
at home. OK, big deal is the fashion that
3:39
they did it. They bullied them, they bullied
3:41
Michigan. I think that goes on the road.
3:44
The point spread tells me something different.
3:46
What my eyes say, though, we're going to get a good game.
3:48
Was the last time they came for them?
3:50
Every place is east. Was Illinois their last Rd.
3:53
game? Yes, that's what I thought.
3:55
Maybe that has something to do with that.
3:56
I'm with you, I don't understand it either.
3:58
Bama, your thoughts on USC and Notre Dame?
4:01
Well, it sounds like from Trent's analysis, I should
4:03
double down on Notre Dame here. But I agree with him.
4:06
I just, I don't understand the spread.
4:08
I looked at this earlier and I'm like, that can't be right.
4:10
I mean, I'm looking at 9 1/2 right now on ESPN.
4:14
How why I know Notre Dame is is, you know, maybe better, but USC
4:20
can score. I think maybe there's some
4:22
question as to the USC schedule, but they played Illinois, they
4:26
played Michigan. It's not like they've been
4:29
sitting out there playing Indiana's non conference
4:31
schedule. So I, I don't, I don't get it
4:34
either. I like, you know, my Ava, I, I
4:36
think he's, he's dangerous. This is AI think it's a
4:40
desperate game for for Notre Dame.
4:42
Obviously, I think if they lose this one, they are absolutely
4:45
finished for the playoff. They're not going to get in as a
4:48
three loss team with, you know, this is probably the third best
4:51
team they played. They lose to this one.
4:53
Again, you know, there's nobody else on there.
4:55
There's nobody on that schedule down the road that's going to
4:58
rescue them if they don't win this.
4:59
So maybe a little bit of desperation factor.
5:01
I don't know. I'm with I, I don't understand
5:04
it. I think Notre Dame should win
5:05
the game, but by 10 points or 9 1/2.
5:09
Well, I guess you'd have to win by 10 if you if you laid the
5:11
points. I don't understand it.
5:13
I think USC, I don't think they'll put up a ton of points.
5:16
They're not going to get in the 30s, but I think they can get,
5:19
you know, into the 20s and can if that happens, if Notre Dame
5:22
get into the 30s to cover. I don't understand it.
5:25
I would, I would definitely take the points here and maybe I'm
5:29
missing something and you know, somebody knows something that I
5:32
don't, which is which is very likely.
5:35
But I don't like you said, the eye test just doesn't this game
5:39
right right now for the eye test doesn't meet 9 1/2.
5:41
So I would definitely take USC in the points here, but I think
5:45
Notre Dame will win and keep their whatever Flickr or faint
5:50
playoff hopes they have. I think they'll keep him alive.
5:54
Let's go to the SECII. Really like this game, Trent,
5:58
Ole Miss. I love what Kev is doing there.
6:00
I don't think this Georgia team is maybe as good as the last
6:03
couple of years. Obviously, big stage tomorrow.
6:05
How do you see this game? You know, I think this is
6:07
another one where I think the point spread tells us a bigger
6:10
picture than what you think your eyes see.
6:12
You got this Ole Miss team, Yeah, they dinked around with
6:15
wazoo and kind of slept walk their way into the victory.
6:17
But in big spots, you feel like Lane's going to come up.
6:20
Yet Georgia's more than a touchdown favorite in this game.
6:23
Another one that just it doesn't make sense on the surface.
6:26
And then he dig a little bit deeper and he kind of looked
6:28
back at the game that we saw for Chambliss.
6:30
Not very good last week. Lacy took a while for him to get
6:32
going. And and in these kind of spots,
6:34
this is when Kirby thrives and Lane usually Wilts.
6:38
I think the point spread tells us, yeah, it feels gross to lace
6:41
7 1/2 with this depleted. Not as good as they have been
6:44
Georgia team, but it's probably the right side.
6:46
I think this thing's like 2410, something like that.
6:49
How do you see it, Bama? I tend to agree.
6:52
I hate to agree all the time. Listen, I just think, I mean,
6:54
you got to love the, the banter. I, I, I think I sent you the,
6:58
the, the quip that Lane Kiffin had about Kirby this week.
7:03
You know, when they when they asked him, you know, we saw all
7:07
the crap, you know, that Kirby did last week and at Auburn with
7:10
all the and he's always, you know, gesticulating and he's
7:12
running up and down the thing and in somebody asking, you
7:15
know, how many who burns more calories?
7:17
You know, you or Kirby? And he said, why this soft Kirby
7:19
they don't like? He's burning many calories to
7:21
me. So it's you know, you just got
7:24
to love it. I mean, he's the new Steve
7:25
Spurrier with the clips right now on the field.
7:28
And that's not going to be any kind of locker room fighter or
7:30
anything. It's just banter.
7:31
I think they have a ton of respect from each other.
7:34
It's hard to believe guys that these that at one point you had
7:36
Nick Saban with these two guys coordinators and then Mario
7:40
Cristobal and Billy Napier on that same staff.
7:43
I mean, what has there ever been a better staff?
7:45
But anyway, we'll get to that. I I like Georgia.
7:47
Listen, I think you saw Alabama come in there and beat them.
7:51
I think Alabama is better than Ole Miss and I think Georgia
7:55
could have won the Alabama game, you know, had a couple breaks
7:59
gone their way or or you know, maybe they if they caught a wide
8:01
open touchdown pass and not called a stupid play on 4th
8:04
down, I think that game may have flipped, but I like Georgia.
8:07
I think they can win by 8. You know, something like, you
8:11
know, 2414, something like that 2817.
8:14
I could see that happening. I think Ole Miss will put up
8:17
points, but if they get behind, you mentioned shambles.
8:21
This is his really first. He's not he's supposed to be the
8:23
starter, right? He's just kind of taking the job
8:25
because of injury. This is really his first true
8:30
hostile environment that he's going to go into.
8:33
I think that number 5 next to Ole Miss, that ranking might
8:37
kind of stick with Georgia a little bit.
8:40
I like Georgia and this that you're right.
8:42
This is the kind of games we saw it in in Knoxville.
8:44
They they get behind early and they figure out a way.
8:48
They just figure out a way. We saw it last week in Auburn.
8:51
They were dead to rights. I think they got a lot of help
8:53
last week with the officials, but they took advantage of it.
8:58
I think this is a game Georgia, Georgia wins.
9:01
I'm not going to say easily. I think it'll be very
9:03
competitive, but I, I think maybe a late touchdown gives
9:06
them the cover. So I'll pick the Bulldogs at
9:08
home. There's no, I just can't, I
9:10
can't see Georgia losing a second SEC game at home this
9:14
year. What, in the same year?
9:17
I'm rooting for Vandy. I want that out there.
9:19
I like Clark Lee a lot. I hope Kelly goes down in flames
9:22
and LSU will they Trent. This one I think is hard.
9:26
The LSU defenses standard, I mean, what you expect kind of
9:30
year in and year out. But I think the biggest part is
9:32
if LSU gets Aaron Anderson back and a real Aaron Anderson, the
9:36
guy that we know he can be the guy that we saw for a long
9:38
stretch last season. If that dude's back out there, I
9:41
think LSU goes on the road and gets the win.
9:43
He's probable. He's going to play, but we just
9:45
don't know what he's going to look like when he wants to play.
9:47
So I'll put that caveat there. If we get close to 100% Aaron
9:51
Anderson, LSU wins this game. Do they win the game, Bama?
9:57
You know, every again, every logic and this is not
10:00
necessarily your eyes, but this is just, you know, 80 years or
10:04
whatever, you know, 50 for me of FCC football tells you there's
10:08
no way you can pick Vanderbilt to beat LSU.
10:11
This is the first time guys and since 1978, how is that 47 years
10:19
since before Frank Condon joined us on earth that Vanderbilt has
10:24
been a favorite in an SEC game? Think about that.
10:28
And it's been that long. I think it's a deserve favor.
10:33
I think if this were, you know, in Baton Rouge and probably the
10:35
point spread, I think it's this is basically home field.
10:38
I love Pavia. They're coming off a bye week.
10:41
They kind of got the, you know, the Alabama game probably
10:44
flushed by now. I think their defense is good.
10:48
I don't think it's great. I think Vanderbilt can win the
10:52
game. I think they will win the game.
10:53
I think this is I I've said before, you know, they were
10:56
going to pick off somebody this year.
10:57
They they they got up on Alabama early and couldn't hold it.
11:01
The longer that Vanderbilt stays in this game and stays ahead,
11:05
the tighter it's going to get. Brian Kelly is not Kirby Smart
11:08
when it comes to in game adjustments or sideline demeanor
11:11
or anything you've seen. He's always yelling and
11:13
screaming. It's always somebody's fault
11:16
with with Brian Kelly. So I think that LSU, I think
11:21
this is, I think this is the game that they, that all their
11:24
struggles, I mean, we're almost, we're halfway through the
11:26
season, which is sad. But I think this is the one game
11:29
that all these struggles really kind of come to the forefront
11:33
and, and it finally bites them when it really and truly
11:36
matters. And this game really matters to
11:38
them. They got a, they got a bunch of
11:40
big ones down the road. And you, you know, you look at
11:43
the schedule, you know, when it came out 2-3 years ago and you
11:45
think, Oh, well, that's, you know, you're not even going to
11:47
worry about this game. You got to worry about this
11:49
game. They've got A&M and Alabama and
11:52
Oklahoma left on the schedule. They have to get this one.
11:55
I think Vanderbilt picks it. And you're going to see if
11:58
you're going to see more goal posts going down Broadway
12:01
tomorrow night. I just think this is what LSU
12:04
is, right? They're, they're so limited.
12:06
I don't think they necessarily get better tomorrow.
12:08
It's an early start. You know, LSU doesn't like that.
12:12
It's really hard to play a road game that starts out early.
12:15
You know, it's a 5:00 AM, whatever it is, wake up call.
12:18
I like Vanderbilt. I'll take him.
12:19
I'll take him to win out, right? Good.
12:23
I'm with you. I hope they do.
12:24
Let's get to this one. Love this game every single
12:26
year. Tennessee, Alabama.
12:27
Trent. 3rd Saturday in October. Here we go.
12:30
Made the trip there 16 years ago for this game and saw mount Cody
12:34
block a couple of field goals as they held off the lane training
12:37
company by the way, back in that one Bama, the Jim Miller thing.
12:42
So we had a concussion which has kind of turned into a two week
12:45
injury for the most part. Certainly in the NFL that's the
12:48
case. He got upgraded to probable last
12:50
night. I don't know.
12:51
There was just something about that that but he is so
12:53
important. Bama, as you know to this one,
12:55
this Tennessee defense is awful. And because of that, I think
12:59
Alabama is going to be able to name the score.
13:01
Can Tennessee keep up with them? I don't see it.
13:04
If Jim Miller's ago, I think Alabama wins this one by double
13:07
digits. Wow, I love your I love your
13:11
optimism and I would love to share it, but you know, my my
13:13
standard nature in these things. I mean, this is guys, this is
13:16
just in the last two or three years, this has really turned
13:19
into probably the game of the year for Alabama.
13:21
It is it's a bigger rivalry right now than Auburn is because
13:26
Auburn has been down. I'm not saying this is, you
13:28
know, they got to go to Auburn, which we saw how tough that can
13:31
be last week. But listen, Heipal is going to
13:35
throw everything he's got at Alabama in this game.
13:40
You know, they, we saw them struggle on the road against
13:43
Mississippi State. If, if Ty Simpson plays like he
13:47
has up through this point, then yes, I think Alabama wins.
13:53
I think they win by, you know, a touchdown maybe a little bit
13:57
more at some point you really have to you know, the kind of
14:00
the back of your mind. Yes, he's playing great Ryan
14:02
Grubbs calling great game plans. Everything's going well, right.
14:05
When's the other shoe going to drop now?
14:07
Maybe it's already dropped with FSU.
14:08
OK, the the the egg that they laid the beginning of the year.
14:12
This this game just has me so nervous just because Tennessee
14:15
can go up and down the field. Alabama, where they struggle is
14:19
in the back end of that defense and gaps and motions and beat
14:24
balls and they, they get too handy and they, you know, Pi and
14:28
all this other kind of stuff. So I think Tennessee is going to
14:31
hang around. I do know one thing, I love this
14:34
game being at night in Bryant, Danny, that crowd is going to be
14:39
absolutely jacked. You're going to see another
14:41
Auburn because everybody remembers what happened last
14:44
year, two years ago with the Bryce Young game up in
14:46
Knoxville. This is really, this rivalry is
14:49
back. It was dead for probably 2
14:51
decades because Tennessee dominated and then Nick Saban
14:54
dominated. After.
14:56
Your flower, absolutely this rivalry is back.
14:59
They hate each other, these fan bases.
15:01
I can promise you that. You know, Alabama can't stand to
15:05
see that ugly orange, you know, in in the stands and you know,
15:09
and vice versa. So this is a true absolute
15:13
hatred of a rivalry. I think Alabama wins.
15:16
I I like what De Boer has done. I think they can win by a
15:20
touchdown. I don't I don't think it's a
15:22
name your score game. I hope it is because man, I'd
15:24
love to be sitting here in the third quarter on cruise control,
15:26
baby. I believe me.
15:27
But I don't think I'm going to be.
15:30
I think this game is going to go maybe down to the last
15:33
possession with Tennessee having a chance.
15:36
But I think Alabama somehow nips it.
15:38
And this is the fourth game really in a string of four since
15:42
the Georgia game. And if it being if they can run
15:44
these four, it's going to be something I think, I think they
15:46
get it done mainly because of the home field.
15:49
That place is absolutely going to be jacked tomorrow night.
15:53
Be ready, Bam, I'm guessing I'm going to say more in this game
15:56
coming up, Trent, it's Louisville in Miami.
15:58
Yes, a little bit more coming up here at about 1:00.
16:02
That's what I thought. Your thoughts on this one
16:04
tonight? I know where Trent's going.
16:06
He's taking Louisville and the points he's been touting this
16:08
game all week long. Is Trent on the right side?
16:11
Is Louisville to play here Bama? No, I mean, I say that and of
16:17
course they'll, they'll, you know, they'll come up and
16:18
they'll, they'll, they'll pip it here at the end.
16:20
But I Miami's just been so good. I mean, I will say it's not
16:25
going to be necessarily an intimidating environment.
16:27
I'm looking at the get in price right now and it's about 12
16:30
bucks. OK.
16:31
There's just just no me on a Friday.
16:33
Yeah. I mean, look at tickets as low
16:35
as $14.00. I mean, Miami on a Friday night,
16:38
you're going to watch a football game.
16:40
Really. I mean, that's that's right.
16:43
I mean, listen, we all have our teams, right?
16:46
You know, they're guilty pleasure teams.
16:47
And I don't know, I can't explain.
16:48
It makes no sense. Don't know how it started.
16:50
Louisville is my can't watch team.
16:52
I just can't stand a lot. Maybe it's the Cardinal on the
16:55
side of the helmet. I don't know what it is, but I
16:57
just, I just can't stand watching.
16:58
Games are in. Now.
16:59
That said, I'll watch this one a little bit tonight because
17:02
there's not much else on. But yeah, I think Miami, listen,
17:07
those two ends they have I think are just going to just harass
17:09
the crap out of Louisville quarterback Carson Beck.
17:13
I don't, I don't know about the points.
17:15
I would probably lay him if I had to, but I just think they're
17:19
Miami. I don't see this is really a
17:21
trap game for them. I mean, I don't see it.
17:25
I know Florida State fell into it.
17:27
I just think this Miami team is too good.
17:29
I think maybe they've got a couple, they've got some tougher
17:32
games down the road perhaps, but I don't think this is one of
17:34
them. All right, let's get to the Big
17:38
12. Trent Condon, Texas Tech Morton.
17:40
Is he in or is he out? I haven't seen anything
17:42
definitive. I don't think he's going to.
17:44
Play. I don't know if it matters.
17:45
OK, Levitt coming back. Texas Tech's just a lot better.
17:50
Well. That's a big upgrade.
17:51
I, I told you I was not a Arizona State fan coming into
17:53
the season. They have Tyson and nobody else
17:55
that concerns you outside. There's nobody else that's a
17:57
threat. They certainly don't have the
17:59
same kind of threat. And that defense is taking a
18:00
step back here. Next Tech's just better.
18:02
I like the Red Raiders. I do too, Bamba, Do you?
18:05
Is it a sweep or consensus? We all like Texas Tech.
18:09
I like him to win the game. I'd stay away from a betting
18:11
angle. I think Levitt just, he just
18:13
makes that off. We saw it last week.
18:15
I don't you can't read anything into Utah and try to, you know,
18:18
draw a line as what's going to happen in this game with him
18:20
back. I just, I think he makes, I
18:23
mean, he is our offense basically, right.
18:25
You mentioned Morton, he's probably going to go.
18:27
Is he going to be limited? I don't, I don't think so.
18:31
But yeah, Texas, Ted's got a little wiggle room here.
18:33
I don't think Arizona State does.
18:35
Texas Tech can win this game. They're going to really be in
18:37
the driver's seat when you look at what they have left.
18:39
They're going to be in the Big 12 championship game.
18:41
They get this one. I think they get it.
18:44
I don't know about the spread. I can see them running away with
18:46
it. I really could.
18:47
Their defenses has been just beyond expectations this year.
18:52
I think they're a legit contender.
18:55
I think not only for the Big 12, but but to make some noise when
18:59
they get into the playoff, just kind of like Arizona State did
19:01
last year from the Big 12. So yeah, I'll take the Red
19:04
Raider. Nothing I've seen tells me that
19:06
Texas Tech will not win the game.
19:08
I think it's maybe a little closer to more competitive with
19:11
Levitt being back certainly than it would be with Sims.
19:16
Trent, you know how I feel about Utah.
19:17
BYU. I like Utah a lot.
19:19
Here's BYU. Yes, there's six and O I'm not
19:22
sure who this team is. Week 1 PRS at Portland State,
19:26
Yeah, OK Stanford, East Carolina in the Big 12.
19:30
They've gotten through the gauntlet of Colorado, West
19:32
Virginia and Arizona. A whole lot of I think Utah's
19:36
good. Yes, I really do.
19:39
It's my best bet of the week. I tried to tell you guys you
19:41
guys are overreacting to that Texas Tech Utah game.
19:44
That's the game in the fourth quarter.
19:45
It was fell off and I wasn't ready to throw dirt on Utah as
19:49
you guys were. Now can you finally listen to me
19:51
and look you're back. I listen to you a lot.
19:53
I'm right back with you. I I'm I have not dissuaded from
19:56
Utah and they're the second best team in this conference.
19:59
They go on the road and they beat that fraud of a BBYU team
20:02
because I, I, I saw it last week against Arizona just how this.
20:06
This team does it, they did it last year, and it feels like
20:08
every single bounce goes their way.
20:10
Maybe it's just something, maybe they picked the right religion.
20:12
I don't know, not overly religious guy, but it's working
20:14
for them. It ends here tonight.
20:16
Yeah, I hope they get the snot knocked out of them.
20:18
They play Iowa State next week here in Ames.
20:21
Bama, BYU and Utah. We're both big on Utah.
20:24
Bama, are you coming along with us?
20:26
I am. I'm coming for the ride.
20:28
And I don't think anybody was throwing dirt on Utah after the
20:30
Texas Tech game. I think we were more heaping
20:32
praise on Tech than throwing dirt on Utah.
20:34
But we can you guys. Are throwing dirt.
20:37
On Utah, we'll go back and debate.
20:38
No, we don't. We don't need to do that.
20:41
I think Dan here, he's, I think this is a game where he really,
20:45
he has struggled a little bit Throwing, he hasn't been, he's
20:49
not great. I don't think he needs to be.
20:51
You worry about him being the leading rusher, right?
20:55
And yeah, for sure in the long haul, in the long haul.
20:57
I think tomorrow night, I think that helps him.
21:00
This is just one of those. BYU is not a great defensive
21:03
team. He's going to run these RPO's,
21:05
they're going to run. They're going to find a way to
21:07
get him. You know, I don't know, 10 to 15
21:10
cut, just, you know, touches in the run game, if you will,
21:14
whether that scrambles, design scrambles, whatever he he can
21:17
do, he can beat you with your with his legs.
21:19
I just I'll tell you what, I just love this rivalry.
21:21
I love the setting. This is one of the underrated, I
21:24
think rivalry and settings in all of college.
21:26
It's the best rivalry out West. OK, it's better than the Apple
21:29
Cup. I think it's better than the
21:30
civil war. It's better than USCUCLAI think
21:33
it's the best rivalry out West. But yes, I will take Utah.
21:36
I love the better coaching staff, more seasoned everything
21:39
else and the best player on the field is going to be wearing
21:41
their uniform tomorrow night. The best uniforms are UCLA, USC,
21:48
yeah, that, that is. But the best player on the field
21:51
tomorrow night? Yeah.
21:52
The best players, Yeah. No, I agree.
21:55
Yep. Yep.
21:56
We, we don't have time for us, for our UNLV Boise State game.
22:01
Boise State's a big favor. You know if he's had a heck of a
22:03
year. Trent, your sneaky good game of
22:05
the week is what? In the Big 10, Oregon, off their
22:08
first loss of the season, now has to go all the way across the
22:11
country against a Rutgers team that can put points up. 530 BTN
22:16
Oregon at Rutgers. Sneaky.
22:17
Maybe not good. Sneaky Exciting.
22:19
There's going to be a lot of points in that.
22:20
OK. Bama, you're sneaky.
22:22
A good game of the week. Well, I love the one tonight,
22:25
Nebraska, Minnesota, that's a great big 10 Friday night game.
22:29
Love this game, but I'll I'll go.
22:31
You know, Oklahoma office Texas lost last week.
22:34
I know material they're going to they got to go to Columbia.
22:37
Little bit of a let down. Sellers is going to play.
22:40
I think this could be a little bit not a trap game, but more of
22:43
a dangerous spot. When you look at Oklahoma
22:45
schedule and what they have left, it's a little easy to
22:49
possibly they got Ole Miss, Tennessee and Alabama the next
22:52
three after this. So maybe it's a little easy for
22:54
them to go. All right.
22:55
Yeah, we'll just, yeah, it's just South Carolina.
22:56
We'll go get this one. So, Lookout.
23:01
We're all going power for games for our sneaky good game of the
23:03
week because I'm going to Trent's favorite conference, the
23:06
ACCSMU and Clemson. Clemson if they've got any
23:12
chance they need to run the table.
23:14
SMU is off to a good start conference wise.
23:16
Good job boys. Love this segment each and every
23:18
week. We'll recap the weekend.
23:20
Bama as we always do on Monday at this time.
23:23
Enjoy the weekend. We'll see you in our text group
23:25
chat. Is that what you call them over
23:28
the weekend? Enjoy the enjoy the games
23:30
tonight, Bama. I'll be watching Minnesota,
23:33
Nebraska as well. Good stuff.
23:34
Yep, Yep. See you, buddy.
23:36
Bama, Bob, Trent and I taking a look at college football.
23:39
All right, let's remind the folks where we're at.
23:42
We're at the Hyvee, Urbandale, Urbandale and high Urbandale,
23:46
High V corner of Urbandale and Douglas.
23:50
Nope. We're at 86th, 86th and Douglas.
23:53
In Urbandale, yes, you got that. Part I do too.
23:56
I know how to get here. You just put in the GPS anymore.
23:59
I don't even need to do that. In fact, if you just put in your
24:02
Google Maps, yeah, Urbandale Hyvee, yeah, guess what pops up
24:05
this location right here. As it should.
24:07
That's all you have to. Where everybody's at for this
24:09
spectacular spirit cell. The golf course down the street,
24:13
Urbandale Golf and Country Club. What a hidden gem.
24:16
It's only nine holes. Yep, I love that little course,
24:20
what I used to play. Anyways, we'll take a time out.
24:22
Linds out a golf course doesn't golf.
24:24
That's true. I'm going to next year.
24:26
Eugene Repay will join us. He's headed to Omaha to watch
24:29
Creighton and Iowa State, our plays of the week still to come.
24:33
I'm glad you're with us, Miller and Connor, we're talking sports
24:36
with you. We're at the Urbandale High Vee
24:38
for their Spooktacular spirit sale.
24:41
It's Des Moines Sports Station One O 6.3 KXNO.
24:52
I'm Larry Condon, welcome back. It's the Iowa Sports Radio
24:55
Network, Des Moines sports station one O 6.3 KX.
24:58
You know, Trent and I broadcasting live from the Hyvee
25:01
in Urbandale. The spectacular spirit sale goes
25:04
on today is of course, it is underway.
25:06
It goes through Sunday. So if you can't get down here
25:08
today, got a couple more days to get here and you'll be glad you
25:11
did. The prices are unbelievable, as
25:14
we found out last year. I think they're better this
25:15
year. It is incredible just to see how
25:18
many people were through here on their lunch hours.
25:20
Yeah, I see a lot of cases of Maker's Mark 1899 going by that
25:24
and Crown. Those look like here too.
25:26
Yes, those are the ones that have been.
25:27
I see a lot of people drink Knob Creek.
25:30
Yes, that's looks like a pretty good deal. 2199.
25:32
I think that's. 21 bucks off per bottle huh?
25:34
That's that's incredible. It's basically half price.
25:38
It is, truly is. Let's get Eugene repay.
25:41
He'll be headed to Omaha to watch Creighton and I with State
25:44
in an exhibition game tonight. Eugene, Trenton, Ken, thank you
25:47
for doing this. Appreciate it.
25:49
We really do. Anxious to see what TJ squad
25:52
looks like. I get that it's exhibition.
25:55
Obviously they're going to play defence like ATJTJ Otzelberger
25:59
requires them to do. But listening to TJ in the press
26:02
conference earlier this week, Eugene, did you get the sense
26:06
Obviously it's going to be different?
26:08
But it seems like they're taking it very seriously even though it
26:12
is an exhibition game. Eugene.
26:14
Yeah, they said that they're treating it just like we're in
26:16
the middle of the regular season.
26:18
They're treating it like it's a marquee top 25 game, which it
26:21
will be with Creighton being well reflected and Iowa State as
26:25
well. And with TJ Alto Burger, we
26:28
asked them, you know, are you going to be holding anything
26:29
back? You are you going to be
26:30
experimenting? Are you going to be hiding some
26:32
things, concealing some sets? And he said, no, it's going to
26:35
be full speed ahead. They're treating this just like
26:38
it's another game. And and that means it's going to
26:40
be full lineups, full rotations, No, no holding things back.
26:46
They're they're going to show whatever they need to show to
26:47
get the job done and when. So the point guard spot, you
26:53
know, with the injury to Lipsy, what can you tell us there and
26:55
kind of the anticipation of what that's going to look like at
26:58
least here for tonight? Yeah, Killing Tere will be
27:01
starting in place of Lipsy and the reviews on Tere so far, it's
27:05
just been amazing, especially since he first arrived in July.
27:09
He's a guy that slots in well. And TJ Altelberger's philosophy
27:12
and his schemes, this guy loves defense.
27:15
Even when he was back in Europe, it was what he built his whole
27:17
reputation on. And since he's come inside, he's
27:20
carried that over with him. He's lengthy, he's long.
27:23
He's also a password, password point guard, so he's unselfish
27:28
behind him. Cade Calderman is a guy that TJ
27:30
Altelberger is expecting to get some major minutes in this
27:33
exhibition game coming off the bench and then the play making,
27:37
though you know it'll be by committee as well.
27:38
Like Joshua Jefferson, he can also facilitate from the low
27:42
block and from the post. But for the most part, if when
27:45
we're talking point guards, it's going to be killing Turay and
27:48
Kate Calderman while containing lips, he's out.
27:52
One of the guys we heard a lot about this summer and the TJ is
27:55
expecting big things from this year.
27:58
He's Milan Munchilovich, that he's going to shoot the ball
28:01
more. He's going to be encouraged to
28:02
do that. What kind of Manchilovich do you
28:05
think we see here tonight? One thing that I've I'm most
28:08
curious to see is TJ Alto Burgers referred to Milam on
28:11
Chilovich in the past as a quote UN quote percentage protector.
28:14
What I want to see is they want him to hunt, they want him to be
28:17
aggressive. So is he just going to be rapid
28:20
fire? He's going to have the green
28:22
light at all times, but is he going to be afraid to shoot
28:24
those contested ones? Is he going to be assertive?
28:27
Is he going to keep the defense honest and and shoot them up no
28:30
matter what the look is presented in front of him?
28:33
So if he's taking at least 10 threes a game and some of them
28:37
are contested and some of them aren't, but he's making a good
28:39
percentage of them, that that's going to put a lot of defenses
28:42
on notice, especially if mom chili, which is going to be a
28:44
lot more aggressive this year. You know, Eugene, last week we
28:49
talked a little bit about the call out from TJ to Nate Heisey,
28:51
which was just a little bit odd, something that we don't see very
28:54
often either from odd. So maybe that was a surprising
28:57
component. Take us in a little bit further
29:00
into that and, and is this something that's going to boost
29:03
him, push him forward? How do you think that Heisey
29:05
reacts here as we see him at least in the early going of the
29:08
season? So far he's responded to it very
29:11
well. Just the way that TJ got on him
29:13
over the summer time, it seemed like he was kind of going
29:16
through the motions, right through the motions.
29:18
But as schools kind of come underway and as we come closer
29:21
to the regular season, Nate Heisey's come to the
29:23
realization. But this is it.
29:24
This is the last dance. This is my last stop.
29:27
You know, this is my last year of college basketball.
29:29
He's lucky to be awarded the 6th year.
29:31
That's something that doesn't happen all the time.
29:33
And he's looking to make the most of it.
29:35
One thing when TJ he was not afraid to list his starting 5.
29:39
And when you saw Nate Heisey was going to be getting the start
29:42
tonight at Creighton, you thought, oh, man, this wasn't
29:44
just words. This wasn't just praise.
29:46
This wasn't just, you know, a pat on the the back.
29:48
Like Nate, Heidi is taking care of business.
29:51
He's performing to the point where, you know, the hype and
29:55
all the stuff that they've talked about him during this
29:57
preseason, fall camp is now carrying over.
29:59
And I'm curious to see how he responds to this year and if
30:01
he's able to start off strong. We're out of the gate.
30:05
Yeah, no question about it, Creighton.
30:06
And I would say, what time does it tip, Eugene?
30:09
I know there is the the radio call of it.
30:11
I don't believe John Walters is on the call tonight.
30:14
He's got a previous engagement, but Eric will be over there.
30:18
What time does the game tip off if you don't want to spend that
30:21
10 bucks to buy that? What is the trend?
30:24
The Nebraska media or something? Yeah, but it's like our IPTV is
30:28
there Nebraska public? Down so we can listen to it on
30:30
the radio. If you want to save the 10 spot,
30:32
what time does what time does it get going Eugene?
30:35
The game starts at 7:30 PM tonight for anyone who won't be
30:38
making the trip to Omaha. Good stuff.
30:42
And of course you'll be there and you'll be tweeting about it.
30:44
What kind of, you know, Speaking of making the trip to Omaha, we
30:47
know Iowa State fans travel very well.
30:49
It's an off week in football. I have no idea how difficult it
30:52
is or isn't to get tickets to this game over there.
30:56
I'm sure, I'm sure our Cyclone Nation will be well represented
30:59
for an exhibition game, keeping that in mind.
31:01
But they'll be in the building, will they not?
31:05
Yeah, no, I, I believe so. And especially with Omaha being
31:08
right there, I mean, it's an easy cruise over there.
31:10
If you live in Des Moines, it's just under 2 hours away to the
31:13
CHIA Health Center. I think it's like an hour 58.
31:15
So not too bad of a drive at all.
31:17
And it's Friday night, like you said, it's a bye week too.
31:19
So you know what? What a better time to have this
31:22
exhibition. Eugene, one quick thing on
31:27
football before we let you go. Obviously the health status of
31:30
Canardy and by all accounts they are optimistic and maybe that I
31:38
think that's probably a good way to put it.
31:39
They're optimistic that he can be back for next week.
31:43
What do you think the likelihood of that is that Conradi will be
31:46
back on the field and doing what he does because he's clearly
31:49
been missed. How did when you listen to
31:51
Campbell, what what's your, what's kind of your thought?
31:54
Do you think Conradi is back next week?
31:57
Yeah, I think optimistic is a good way to put it.
31:59
I'm curious to see what Campbell will have to say on Tuesday.
32:02
But all the signs and all the preliminary things are trending
32:07
towards a return for that BYU game.
32:09
He was already starting a kick and practice and things like
32:12
that. So now you add in the bye week,
32:14
you give him some extra time to rest and then kind of get his
32:16
legs back under him. I believe that, you know, things
32:19
are looking good for that October 25 game.
32:23
Good stuff Eugene travel safe over there.
32:25
We'll follow you on Twitter as we do and as you tweet
32:28
periodically throughout the game.
32:30
Thank you Eugene talk to you down the road.
32:31
Des Moines Register for Eugene repay and Travis Hines as they
32:35
covered Iowa State. Thank you Eugene talk to you.
32:37
We'll take a time out come back. Our plays of the week are coming
32:40
up next. Trenton High broadcasting live.
32:42
We're at the Hyvee in Urbandale. Spectacular spirits still goes
32:46
on today through Sunday. So if you can't make it down
32:49
today, you've got time to still get here in the next couple of
32:52
days. Our picks of the week are coming
32:53
up next. We have a slight lead.
32:57
We're up a couple of games. Yeah, three games.
32:59
Does that sound right? Two or three, two or three.
33:02
It was time we put a couple on. How do you feel about your picks
33:05
this week? I always feel good about my
33:06
pick. Most of the time I feel good
33:08
about them and outside of Week 1, we've been all right.
33:11
And you've had a pretty good week of picking games, have you
33:13
not? The two college games early in
33:14
the week. Yes, football's been good.
33:16

Purdue plus three pick number one.
35:41

Super Bowl 50. They're all going to be back,
36:20
their former teammate Debarius Thomas, who tragically lost his
36:23
life at a far too young age. They're honoring him.
36:26
They're putting his number in the Ring of Honor.
36:28
Jackson darts, running his mouth against the best defense in the
36:32
NFL. You mean to tell me that those
