Nobody's Listening Anyway

Another epic event from Sioux Falls in the books. SDSU's men make history. Is this even better than Wolters and Daum championship teams?

The Jacks men dominated the W-L column and offensive stats. But, are they the dominant favorite? How big a hit is Paige Meyer's injury to the SDSU women? How did Augie crash (but not burn) at NSIC Tourney?

John and Matt talk about being middle-aged... again! Plus, do we have clarity on where this Noah Freidel saga is headed at SDSU? Is Stafford a Hall-of-Famer? Should Vikings fans be impressed by Rams' final TD drive, and excited for new HC?

SD annual rite of passage: Arguing if it'd be better to have all 3 classes in one city. SDSU women's NCAA-making win? And what's to be excited about for this Super Bowl?

At time of recording, Jim Harbaugh was to be interviewed by the Vikings on Wednesday. Good news for Vikings fans, say John and Matt. Plus, Matt returns to his Rodgers > Brady column from a few years ago.

Deep dive into unique persona of Brandon Valley's late, great 2-time state champ coach and cool dude, who died of brain cancer Friday. 

What is going on with Jacks' guard Noah Freidel's 5-game absence, and can the Jacks win Summit without him? Why is the Summit slipping in strong men's teams/play? And Vikings interview a female GM candidate. Could they use her, considering the current culture?

John talks vacation, Zim talks engagement, and then a whole lot of Vikes, with Jacks/Yotes and Bison title recap at end.

What to make of the loss to the Bobcats, falling short of glory again, Jason Eck's departure, and the future with Stig.

Zim ranks the Rocky movies, breaks down the Villanova win, and previews the Bobcats. Plus, Stig's 2-year extension and the surprise and timing of it.

Zimmer on Jacks going coast-to-coast in the FCS Playoffs, and why Villanova is scarier than SSU. The SDSU women's saga. Plus, why should Vikings wait to fire Zimmer until season's end?

Kalen DeBoer's ascent to HC at Washington is extraordinary and fascinating, and Zim walks us through bizarre turning points on the way there. And  his best friend Kurtiss Riggs' less active path is just as compelling. (At taping, we don't know if that path went to Seattle or not)

The Jacks get to avoid NDSU until the title game. The Yotes go to the Dome in Round 2. A deep dive into their postseason prospects, plus some turkey talk and funny stories about Vikings-Packers game... and some love for Mike Zimmer (kinda).

Anatomy of a miracle, or screw-up, or what was that? What does USD's over SDSU win say about where the programs stack... and their coaches' futures?

Zim's recap of SDSU's win over NDSU and what it means big picture in the rivalry. And how USD can undo all the joy in the Dome. Plus, an update on Noah Freidel as he returns to the court.

Why does Zim feel NDSU will beat SDSU? Who the X-factor players? Why do Jacks struggle last 3 years in big home games?

We start by saying what everyone else is thinking about Aaron Rodgers' appearance. And finish with unique World Series titles memories -- Zim of '87 and '91 Twins. John of '15 Royas.

USD is No. 15 and destroyed the same UNI team that is fit to upset Jacks (again), so says Zim. Plus, is Rick Spielman or Mike Zimmer more likely (and deserving) of getting fired if Vikings miss playoffs?

Plus, thoughts on Octoberfest beers, Gruden's firing, NFL ratings, and Vikings most recent... Vikings thing.

Answering our critics after Cousins answered his in win over Seattle. Zim describes being at a rock-bottom Goofs loss. Why is John (somewhat) optimistic about Nebraska? And what is Augie really trying to do in the long game by going D1 in hockey?

Both Matt and John's favorite teams lost in head-banging fashion. Are the Vikings cursed with kickers? Will Nebraska ever be great again? And what is there to take away from the fourth Sanford International? 

A breakdown of Jacks' impressive 2-0 start, with plenty of weird sidetracks. Plus, the Dana J. crowds, Kalen DeBoer, and why Kirk Cousins sucks and will always suck even though he's kinda good. 

Back at Gateway! Should SDSU EXPECT to win at Colorado State, and will anything short of a national title be a disappointment? Will beer start flowing at USD, SDSU and USF now that Augie has it at hoops AND football? And a lot of beer drinking stories from Matt and John, naturally.

Full of "I missed you" brotherly love, Season 2 opens with Zim's deep dive of SDSU's shot at a national title, and what challenges NDSU and USD will present. Plus, weirdo Kirk Cousins is the example of what is stopping from life and sports as we know it from moving across the goal line out of the pandemic and into normalcy.

Zim from Frisco on an almost win for the ages, Gronowski, (not) holding on, the final play, and the future. Plus, why the Canaries are already cooler without having yet played a game.
