Craig Mattick & John Gaskins reunite — 5 years after their last radio show 1:01:54

1:01:54

Together, they laughed, entertained, argued, and brought on the biggest names in the South Dakota sports scene for seven collective years and two stints on KWSN Sports Radio's afternoon drive-time show "Sports Talk with Craig & John." Then, one day, all of a sudden, one day, out of the blue, after the show, 20-year KWSN station manager Craig Mattick and co-host/producer John Gaskins were canceled... Well, technically, postponed. But, for good. It's a long story. It was the pandemic, and they were casualties — told, as listeners were, to wait-and-see if the station would bring the show back that next autumn. It didn't happen. Craig retired from daily radio, but stayed with SDPB-TV to call state championships in every sport, a role he has had for over 25 years. John came back KWSN to continue calling football and basketball games, but moved on to TV news reporting and Sioux Falls Canaries entertaining. They both started their own podcasts — Craig for SDPB ("In Play with Craig Mattick) and John's "Nobody's Listening Anyway" with Matt Zimmer, which is still part of "Happy Hour with John Gaskins." Now, Craig joins John for the first time in five years. Well, sharing a mic, anyway. They do occasionally go out to lunch or share a few beers after state tournaments. For an hour, they catch up on their lives and careers in the present and go down memory lane of shows and Sioux Falls sports events — and lively and trouble-making moments.…

Jacks & Yotes post Summit breakdown with Brad Newitt (Midco Sports) 31:58

So, how does the dominant South Dakota State women's basketball team stack up with the other 13 that reached the NCAA Tournament — including the best Div. I team the Jackrabbits have ever had in 2019 (the one that reached the Sweet 16)? What do both the SDSU and USD men need to do to improve upon their thriving programs that both fell flat on their faces in the Summit League Tournament? How equipped is Omaha to win its first NCAA Tournament game ever? Veteran Midco Sports analyst Brad Newitt joins to answer those questions and others that still linger after another wild five days at the Summit League Tournament.…

Darnold to Seattle / Summit League look back with Brad Newitt (Midco Sports) 54:38

منذ 20 hours54:38

It finally happened, and it's a good thing for the Minnesota Vikings. And fomer Vikings linebacker (current radio analyst) Ben Leber called it on the second-ever episode of Happy Hour with John Gaskins, back in mid-December — before the debacles against the Rams and Lions, when it appeared the Vikings would be foolish to let Darnold go. They have moved on from free agent Sam Darnold, who moves on to a 3-year, $100.5 million deal with the Seattle Seahawks ($55 million guaranteed). This ushers in the J.J. McCarthy era and, almost as important, frees up space to sign free agents in spots of need, which the Vikings reportedly already have done (Aaron Jones, Theo Jackson). John Gaskins explains why letting Darnold walk was the right move, what to expect out of the great unknown McCarthy, and why Daniel Jones should stay put in Minnesota. Meanwhile, more analysis about the dominant South Dakota State women's basketball team and how this squad stacks up with the other 13 that reached the NCAA Tournament — this time, the analysis from an actual paid college basketball analyst, Brad Newitt of Midco Sports. What do both the SDSU and USD men need to do to improve upon their thriving programs that both fell flat on their faces in the Summit League Tournament? How equipped is Omaha to win its first NCAA Tournament game ever?…

12th Title & Big Dance for Jacks women! How far can they go? 25:06

منذ يومين25:06

25:06

Make it a dozen! South Dakota State's women won their 12th Summit League Tournament title in the 17 times this event has been in Sioux Falls, beating a unrelenting No. 2 seed Oral Roberts 84-68 in a rock 'em, sock 'em game. The Jackrabbits are 29-3, have won 18 straight games and 57 consecutive contests against Summit League teams (nine in the tourney) and earned the conference's automatic NCAA Tournament berth for the third year in a row. They are ranked No. 24 in the country and have 29 wins, one more win than the Macy Miller team that reached the Sweet 16 in 2019. SDSU beat at least three non-conference opponents who are sure-fire bets to make the NCAA. They are a remarkable, consistent, established mid-major machine. Now what? What was unique about this championship and this team, and how equipped are the Jacks to go further than they've ever gone and win three NCAA games to reach the Elite Eight? Happy Hour host John Gaskins and Sioux Falls Live reporters Matt Zimmer and Marcus Traxler take their stabs at those questions, and you'll hear from 25th-year SDSU head coach Aaron Johnston on that topic as well.…

Coyotes men crash-and-burn after another women's Jackrabbit Jamboree 37:04

منذ 3 أيام37:04

37:04

The high-flying, full-throttle, pressure-packing rocket ship South Dakota hoped to ride for three days to three wins to seize the school's first-ever Summit League Tournament title crashed and burned —hard — in Saturday night's 100-75 loss to No. 1 seed Omaha. More appropriately, the Mavericks made sure the Coyotes failed to launch, using a full day of rest to turn up its own jets immediately, racing to a 16-4 start and extending its lead to 33 points in the first half to take all the air out of a charged-up, red-clad crowd. Was this more about USD running out of gas or Omaha's superior ability to put the pedal to the medal? More importantly, is this simple blurb about a postgame show going to ever run out of cliches? Well, let's find out. John Gaskins, Matt Zimmer, and Marcus Traxler weave their way through the blowout, then turn things over to the postgame remarks of USD's Eric Peterson and Chase Forte, plus Omaha coach Chris Crutchfield, whose Mavs are a win away from their first-ever tourney title and NCAA Tournament berth. Earlier in the day, a blue-clad crowd of 8,104 saw No. 1 South Dakota State's women take one step close to their 12th trip to the big dance in an 84-55 cruise over No. 5 North Dakota. Paige Meyer was brilliant again in a 17-point performace while Brooklyn Meyer poured in 22 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in SDSU's eighth consecutive tournament win and 56th straight against Summit League competition dating back to the 2022 championship game loss to USD. Hear from Jacks coach Aaron Johnston about why Paige Meyer is a "gift to watch," and why SDSU turned away every defensive ploy the Hawks threw at Brooklyn Meyer. Now, it's on to face No. 2 Oral Roberts, who showed flashes of resistance in the two regular season SDSU wins and whose players have repeated their claim of being "on a mission" in Sioux Falls. Will they accomplish that mission on Sunday? After we find out, we'll talk about it on Happy Hour's Live from The Summit League Tournament postgame show. And, then, we'll try to crank out more cliches! Stay tuned!…

Jacks shocking loss & Yotes thrilling win under Summit League's Friday Night Lights 34:01

منذ 4 أيام34:01

34:01

It was a really, really awesome night to be a Coyotes fan among the 9,202 people in the PREMIER Center on Friday night. South Dakota roared back from a nine-point deficit with under four minutes remaining to knock out North Dakota State 85-84, thanks to Chase Forte's sheer will and the Yotes' patented full-court pressure and a fatigued Bison bunch that was without Summit League leading scorer Jackson Moni and Coyote killer Jacari White, who averaged 26 points in the two regular season wins over USD. Then, the folks in red watched No. 3 seed South Dakota State miss all but two of their field goal attepts in the last 17 minutes as No. 6 North Dakota came from 14 back to finish on a 50-20 run for a shocking 85-69 win — propeled by a tourney record 51 points from Trey Eaglestaff. Sioux Falls Live's John Gaskins, Matt Zimmer, and Marcus Traxler discuss how it all happened and what to make of SDSU's 20-win season that ended with a thud. Hear from Eaglestaff, UND coach Paul Sather, SDSU coach Eric Henderson, Forte, USD guard Isaac Bruns, and USD coach Eric Peterson after a memorable doubleheader.…

SDSU's Voice of the Jackrabbits Tyler Merriam previews Summit League Tournament 20:57

منذ 4 أيام20:57

20:57

In a wide-open field, South Dakota State was as good of a bet as any to win the Summit League Tournament and go to its 8th NCAA tourney. But that was a couple weeks ago, before point guard Owen Larson's torn ACL injury. How can the Jackrabbits still contend without him? Voice of the Jackrabbits Tyler Merriam has his answer to that, plus: What makes big man Oscar Cluff as unique and hard-to-stop of a player SDSU has had besides (and certainly since) Mike Daum? And, how can we project what will happen on Friday night against a North Dakota club the Jacks blew out 109-73 in early January, then lost to 80-75 in February? But first — while SDSU will have a thunderous crowd behind it, why might this be as much of an obstacle as it is an advantage, particularly for such a young team?…

USD's Voice of the Coyotes John Thayer previews Summit League Tournament 29:18

منذ 4 أيام29:18

29:18

A hounding, dizzying full-court press. A topsy-turvy season full of shootouts, blowouts, euphoria and heartbreak. South Dakota's men appear to be the most fascinating, exciting team in the Summit League men's basketball tournament — a talented and impressively conditioned crew with wild style of play that could make them a wonderful wild card pick to win it all and go to the school's first Div. I NCAA Tournament. But Craig Smith disciple Eric Peterson's third team (by far his best) could as easily bow out in a Friday night quarterfinal against a North Dakota State squad that beat USD in both regular season showdowns, including nine days ago in Fargo, 82-78. The radio Voice of the Coyotes John Thayer walks us through the seismic shift of Peterson's basketball ideology, the players he found to fit into it, and how USD eventually made it work well enough to be a contender. But how can things change against the Bison, and what kind of steam could propel them to beat regular season champion Omaha in Saturday's semifinals should the Yotes come out on top on Friday?…

In a reflection of their seasons, No. 25 South Dakota State's women, the top seed in the Summit League Tournament, won their 55th consecutive game against conference teams (48 regular season, 7 tourney) by clamping down Omaha by 20 points (87-67), while South Dakota lost by 20 to No. 2 seed Oral Roberts (70-50). John Gaskins, Matt Zimmer, and Marcus Traxler break down the back-to-back games, starting with the keys to the Jackrabbits' expected romp, followed by coach Aaron Johnston's postgame remarks. The trio then pivots to thoughts on the final game and spectacular career of USD's Grace Larkins — the Summit League Player of the Year — who bowed out with 24 points, 13 rebounds, and 5 assists as her last team finished 11-20 under first-year head coach Carrie Eighmey. What do we make of Larkins staying in Vermillion despite (likely) chances to play at a higher level elsewhere, and what are her final words about that decision? Hear from Larkins and Eighmey in their postgame press conference about that, plus Eighmey's ruminations about what it will take to bring the Coyotes back to the elite mid-major status they held just three years ago under Dawn Plitzuweit. Finally, a look ahead to both the USD and SDSU men's quarterfinal games on tap for Friday night.…

SDSU A.D. Justin Sell on Summit Tourney, FCS/FBS future, NIL, revenue sharing with athletes, Jackrabbits success & culture 1:03:48

منذ 6 أيام1:03:48

1:03:48

In an hour-long conversation covering a wide variety of hot topics in SDSU, Summit League, and big-picture college athletics, 17th-year athletics director Justin Sell informs and opines about where things sit. As the Summit League men's and women's basketball tournaments tip off in Sioux Falls, Sell discusses how the SDSU women have ascended status a consistent Top 50 national Div. I program (out of over 350), and how the conference tournament is somewhat of a Jackrabbit Jamboree — both in the high percentage SDSU fans that make up the crowds (and therefore revenue for the conference) and in SDSU's performance. The Jackrabbit women have won 11 of the 16 tourneys there, while the Jacks men have captured seven of 16 titles. How much of that success is the virtual home court advantage, how can it sometimes actually work against the Jacks, and how does Sell respond to some of the league's leaders (presidents and A.D.'s at other schools) who (privately) take issue that advantage — a topic that coincides with the conference's recent announcement that it might start re-distributing long-time all-session ticket holders (many of whom are SDSU fans) to make way for fans from other schools? Meanwhile, why is SDSU deciding to not "opt-in" on sharing revenue with student athletes should the "House vs NCAA" settlement be approved, which is expected? (Would SDSU decide to opt-in, that revenue sharing would begin on July 1. Per the settlement, the pool of revenue to be shared per school is expected to be at least $20 million). Is SDSU considering an eventual move from the FCS to the FBS, and what would it take for that to happen? How might the college football landscape shift dramatically in the next five years to where it might not even matter what move they would make? What is the latest on the NIL "collective" that can pay (and entice) student-athletes at SDSU? How does the athletic department its emphasis on making sure that is strong versus providing the "traditional" resources to bring and keep the highest-level-possible athletes to Jackrabbit teams? Finally, what are Sell's early observations of the Dan Jackson era for SDSU football, and what has Eric Henderson done to build and keep the SDSU men's basketball program among the best in the Summit League for the last six years?…

Who will emerge from a stacked, up-for-grabs field as the men's Summit League Tournament champion and go dancing? Will a home court advantage be enough for the South Dakota State men to overcome the loss of their starting point guard? Should SDSU's Oscar Cluff have been voted conference player of the year over Omaha's Marquel Sutton? Does USD's Grace Larkins deserve to be women's player of the year even though she played on a team that went 5-11 in league play? What do we make of the league potentially sending a vague message that suggests it will move long-time all-sessions ticket holders — many of whom are Jackrabbit fans who have been re-ordering their tickets since the first SLT in Sioux Falls 16 years ago — out of their seats? Is this biting the hands that feed it? Answers to these questions and more in the latest edition of "Nobody's Listening Anyway" with Sioux Falls Live sports editor Matt Zimmer and Happy Hour host John Gaskins. Plus: Zimmer's biggest takeaways from the very first SDSU football practice of the Dan Jackson era Reaction to the Minnesota Vikings not franchise-tagging Sam Darnold Jimmy Johnson's retirement from FOX NFL Gene Hackman's legacy — particularly in Hoosiers…

Summit Tourney is set! How do our SD teams look heading in? / Chase Forte (USD guard) interview 1:21:21

The brackets are set for the Summit League men's and women's basketball tournaments! John Gaskins has his first pre-tourney opinions and predictions — a predictable women's event (SDSU looks as invincible as ever) while the only prediction for the men is unpredictability. But John does have one men's prediction — a USD men's win over North Dakota State. All of a sudden, the Coyotes look like gangbusters after a Senior Day surge against UND, while the No. 3 seed Jackrabbits have their tails between their legs after a 16-point loss at No. 7 seed Denver on Saturday. How much could any of this carry over against UND on Friday night? Also, thoughts on the USD women's trend and first-round draw, plus Pierre native and NDSU lineman Gray Zabel's weekend at the NFL Combine. Today's guest is South Dakota men's guard Chase Forte. There's an old adage that says "defense travels." South Dakota's leading scorer is also one of the Summit League's best defenders — potentially the Defensive Player of the Year — in his only season in Vermillion, leading the hounding full-court press the Coyotes hope will wear down opponents in Sioux Falls at the league tourney this week. Vermillion is the latest stop on the Raleigh, NC, native's college basketball journey that started in junior college near the beaches of Panama City, Florida, and continued at Northwestern State in Louisiana. Forte takes us through all that, plus the Yotes' trip to Italy over the summer that forged the chemistry of a team capable of beating any team in the Summit League. Where does his defensive prowess come from? And, what about working for a behaviorial health agency one summer in Las Vegas, Nevada, shaped the down-to-earth Forte's attitude on life?…

Eric Henderson just won a 20th game for the fifth time in his six seasons at SDSU, and still has a shot at a fifth regular season Summit League title, as well. With a Jackrabbit squad that will have a decent shot at winning his third Summit League Tournament title next week — and therefore potentially garner interest of schools that could offer him a lot more money than SDSU — perhaps today should be Eric Henderson Appreciation Day. John Gaskins dives into the coaching job "Hendo" has done this year with a fresh five starting lineup, and how SDSD won a tough road game without injured starting point guard Owen Larson last night in Tulsa. --- The first domino just fell in the Sam Darnold and Minnesota Vikings' melodrama — The Los Angeles Rams restructured their deal with Matthew Stafford to bring the veteran former Super Bowl winner Matthew Stafford back. What does this mean for the Minnesota Vikings as they decide on franchise tagging, or even tagging and trading Sam Darnold? Matthew Coller of PurpleInsider.com has reported on the Vikings for a decade and was in Indianapolis for the early week of the NFL Combine to gather insight and interviews, and joins John Gaskins to discuss the future of the quarterback and other spots of need for the Vikings during the offseason. What did Kevin O'Connell's latest remarks about Stafford and J.J. McCarthy reveal about where Minnesota is leaning for its quarterback in 2025 and beyond? What about Daniel Jones? And how will defensive coordinator Brian Flores navigate free agency for proven defensive backs like Cam Bynum and Byron Murphy, Jr.? Oh, and how much sense does Mel Kiper's mock draft placement of Pierre native and NDSU product Gray Zabel with the Vikings and the No. 24 overall pick make? --- Before the Summit League men's and women's basketball tournaments tip off in Sioux Falls next Thursday, the NSIC ("best conference in the country in Div. II") displays its tourney at the Pentagon starting on Saturday, with the Augustana men and University of Sioux Falls women playing a part. David Brown, who has been calling NSIC and Summit League games for 13 years for Midco Sports Network, offers a preview of the high-level hoops to come, which players we may be seeing at the next level next year (as transfers to Div. I), and just how deep and competitive the league is.…
