Nobody's Listening Anyway

SDSU's spring fling is a Seinfeld episode to John and the 2005 Steve Carrell classic to Matt. Is this the best Jacks' team ever? Will Stig retire? Who will take over? How do Rabbits match up with "Soft Houston State?" Why are we breaking down beer tastes in the middle of it all?

SDSU's wild comeback over SIU, what it means vs Delaware, Gronowski's Jerry Rice Award snub, why Trey may just be a great NFL QB, and why Seattle is a good spot for Cade Johnson.

Around the 7:30 mark, Zim hovers his finger on the panic button for the Twins. Are the Jacks in trouble vs SIU team they pulverized? Is Trey Lance ready to be another (early) Carson Wentz? 

With the clearest path to an FCS championship SDSU has ever had, how much would NOT winning it hurt? Zim's account of the SDSU coach booth's glass shattering while celebrating marker win. 

Will SDSU-NDSU feel anywhere close to electric as normal? Is the FCS a joke? Why do we keep drinking even when we like it when we stop? Why does Rocco manage like he's drunk?

We wrap the Final Four and best NCAA Tourney in years, dive into One Shining Moment's brilliance, pay homage to Chris Berman, and talk about getting the runs in athletic competition like Byron Buxton

After Dakota Marker game covid PPD, the pros on cons of punting the season. NFL adds 17th game. Kim Mulkey's "stop covid testing" for Final Four idea, and the rosy outlook for the Twins... until the playoffs start.

Why ORU is a tough SCHOOL to root for, USD's NCAAW and football nightmares, ISU chickening out, and even some HS hoops talk!

Reaction to the Jacks' 9-seed and USD's 11-seed, plus an "are we taking this for granted" accomplishment. Plus, SDSU and USD football midseason assessments and Zim's reality check for frustrated Coyote fans.

Was a fan-less tourney proof fans DO make a HUGE difference, especially for SDSU? Plus, Matt and John exchange stories about drinking on the job.

How will injuries and lack of home cookin' crowds will affect Jacks & Yotes? What to make of SDSU & NDSU football losses & USD's big win. And Harrisburg QB Jacob Knuth picks Gophers over Huskers & Hawkeyes.

It was a (mostly) awesome weekend to be a Jack fan, and beat writer Zim. Does either host buy any conspiracy about the USD men's hoops Sunday cancelation? And why is Noah Freidel brave for sitting out the rest of the season?  

Plus, our thoughts on the frigid weather, Valentine's Day, and Tom Brady drunk in public.

How does Zim imagine reacting to a Vikings' Super Bowl if they finally made it after 40 years of life? The same way it has been for John the last two years as a Chiefs fan?

Plus, will continuity be a good or bad thing for Vikes offense once OC is hired? Is Mahomes like Tiger Woods in his early explosive "potential best ever" years? 

How much blame does Rodgers deserve for GB's decade full of title flops? Did Brady prove he was the true alpha in NE? Would Mahomes make other teams elite? Plus, a bizarre story from USD hoops and someone who got lucky not gambling on it.

"Big Red" big balls call, Brees's place in all-time QB pantheon, a reason nobody discusses for bereft of black NFL coaches, and why the Summit League made the right move to the Pentagon and shutting out fans

Why does major college football suck now, and is a "spring season" in jeopardy for SD teams? Did Hendo handle Freidel's punishment well? Plus, the Browns, Lasorda, and some natural potty humor.

Fatness turning into fitness so far in 2021? New Year's Eve vs St. Patty's Day bar scenes. And a LOT of Vikings deep diving one more time. Plus, is Chris Streveler as bad as he looked in the brightest NFL spotlight ever to shine on a QB from a South Dakota college? 

John and Matt talk about getting fat, Christmas presents they received from spouses, favorite and least favorite Christmas flicks, and if the Vikings should fire Mike Zimmer after a 3rd straight infuriating loss and disappointing season.

Jacks-Yotes rivalry gets a punch in the nuts from Noah Freidel (6:00). What would it take to get Sioux Falls an affiliated team now that the Saints have joined the Twins (28:30)?

SDSU (9:00), Vikings (37:20) but we begin with John (kinda) relating to the guy who slept in Tom Brady's vacant house, and end with Carson Wentz's woes and future.  

SD native Tim Miles (38:00) on his loyalty to Coors Light, his TV gig & new podcast, the weird new world of CBB, Jacks & other teams who played in Sioux Falls,  reflections on his Husker tenure. But we start with the overblown heroes Chad Beebe and Kirk Cousins beating overblown old flame Teddy Bridgewater in a mud bath for the ages.

Yes, the Vikings are in the playoff picture, but do they feel like a playoff team? Why should there be pessimism heading into the Bears game? Plus, how covid keeps messing with sports, including locally, and SDPB's voice of prep state championships Craig Mattick joins John to get us up to speed on life after his daily radio show of 20 years was canceled -- and took look back on the 7 years of "Cra...
