Eidsness, Hawkeyes/Gronowski (Chad Leistikow), DeBoer/CFB Playoffs (SEC Network's Dari Nowkhah)

Happy Hour with John Gaskins

John explains why Eric Eidsness is the best offensive coordinator for SDSU now and why his demotion from OC his last couple years at Northern Illinois (making way for former USD quarterback Wes Beschorner) should not be a concern at all. Then, veteran Des Moines Register columnist Chad Leistikow dives deep about why SDSU legendary quarterback Mark Gronowski is exactly what the Hawkeye offense needs in 2025, and where Iowa football is headed in the expanded Big Ten and College Football Playoff era. SEC Network lead anchor Dari Nowkhah takes us home with a glimpse into Kalen DeBoer's tumultous first season at Alabama and expounds on why the SEC is no longer dominating the college football landscape after a 20-year reign. The former Lincoln, Nebraska (Huskers) and Tulsa, Oklahoma (Sooners) sportscaster makes his semifinal predictions. Oh, and what's it like to host a long-running national radio show with Mel Kiper?
