The "Britton Bomber" and former SDSU terrorizing tight end Dallas Goedert has made a strong case of his potential to make the biggest play, or plays, in the big game on Sunday. In fact, one high-level NFL analyst says you should bet on that happening.

Hear Goedert's thoughts (in a local Philadelphia TV interview) on coming back to health from his knee injury just in time for the playoffs, his massive if not legendary "angry run" touchdown in the playoffs against the Packers, his chemistry with Jalen Hurts, and why his ability to ride a unicycle — honed while growing up in Britton, SD — is a reason he can gain all those yards after making big catches.

Meanwhile, the South Dakota State men's basketball team bounced back by bombarding a hundred-burger on St. Thomas 102-86 last night in Brookings, thrusting the Jackrabbits right back into the regular season title hunt after a crushing loss at UND last week. As John explains, it isn't just that the Jacks protected their home court and sniped revenge from one of their three conference losses, it's how. And... now what?

Our Friday guest is Peyton Riggs, the son of local football legend Kurtiss Riggs. The 25-year-old was a two-year offensive coordinator for the Sioux Falls Storm — he spent his first season calling plays in Kurtiss's 20th and final year at the helm — and now has the same title with the Arizona Rattlers in the same league.

Peyton has also coached and helped develop some of the top high school football talent in South Dakota as both an assistant at O'Gorman and the assistant director of the Riggs Football Academy (now the Sanford Sports Academy).

Who will be the Jackrabbits' most impactful recruit from the class of '25? What should we expect out of Chase Mason as the new SDSU QB1? Why should Eric Eidsness's offense soar right away? And who was the biggest loss of the 14 players that fled to Washington State with Jimmy Rogers?

Also — stories of working with both Kurtiss and his father's best friend Kalen DeBoer. Peyton was a graduate assistant at the University of Washington with DeBoer, who is "pretty much an uncle."

We finish by picking Peyton's brain about the Super Bowl — what makes Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs "the best team they've ever had," and why the Chiefs will hoist yet another Lombardi Trophy.

Not stoked about the Super Bowl? John Gaskins attempts to jar you loose of your apathy (you're watching Hendrix, Babe Ruth, Beethoven, and Michael Jackson do the moonwalk!), while his weekly happy hour drinking buddy, Jon Oppold, speaks on behalf of a lot of Vikings fans why this game does not excite them.

For the next hour, we talk to a country boy from Cherokee, Iowa, who blocked for Brett Favre and Kurt Warner in two Super Bowl wins, and two losses. Before that, Adam Timmerman was a two-time All-American offensive lineman for South Dakota State in the early 1990's, when the facilities and the football team were Div. II, and not exactly elite like today.

The Cherokee, Iowa, native was almost Mr. Irrelevant, a 7th-round NFL Draft pick in 1995 to the already-burgeoning Green Bay Packers under Mike Holmgren and Favre. His assistant offensive line coach was Andy Reid, and Timmerman has stories, which included eating a philly cheese steak in a limo with "Big Red" in Philadelphia years later.

And, there are Super Bowl stories — of two wins ('96 with Packers, '99 with Rams and the "Greatest Show on Turf") and two losses ('97 Packers and '01 Rams). Timmerman regales with recollections of four "big games," both between the lines and all the hysteria before and after the game.

Then, we go to New Orleans, where Bob Fescoe, host of a morning sports show in Kansas City, paints the picture of a Super Bowl Thursday in New Orleans — the sights, the (mostly NFL) celebrities, and a fun encounter with a Super Bowl-winning coach and broadcaster.

Plus, Fescoe tells us why the Chiefs will be the first team to ever three-peat, and why saying the refs are helping the Chiefs win is a "disservice to Reid and Mahomes."

Steve Miller sucks! That's Matt's opinion on the 1970's and 80's rocker, and he isn't much more excited about the Super Bowl, despite the fact the Chiefs could reach NFL mortality with three straight titles.

Warning: We are NOT your authority on the breakdown of the matchups of the game!... but we do dive into prop bets and past Super Bowl halftime shows — the good, the bad, and the crappy.

It's National Signing Day, which doesn't mean as much as it used to for most Div. I college football teams, except South Dakota State, which needed a big rally the last six weeks after Jimmy Rogers and a boatload of players and commits left.

Plus, a bigger picture view of USD and it's recruiting going forward — how important is it for the Coyotes to get more in-state recuits.

Zim explains why Augie hockey should be even more of a thing than it is, and we finish on Sacramento State's likely decision to move to the FBS and what it means for FCS schools like SDSU , NDSU and USD.

Another FCS team appears to be leaving for the FBS to make the path just a little easier for North Dakota State and South Dakota State, and South Dakota to win national titles. Why is Sacramento State making the move, and why does it appear the Dakotas schools won't do so anytime soon?

Interview 1 - Dick Vermeil
One of seven coaches to lead two different teams to the Super Bowl, Vermeil led the Eagles to the big game in 1980 (a loss to the Raiders), burned out on coaching three years later, came out of a 14-year retirement to take over the St. Louis Rams in 1997 and spearheaded the legendary "Greatest Show on Turf" with third-string Kurt Warner to a title in 1999.

He "retired" shortly after the season, only to be convinced two years later to come back, this time to the Chiefs, led by the same general manager that hired him with the Eagles, Carl Peterson. Vermeil's third Kansas City team went 13-3 but lost in the famous "no punt" playoff game in 2003 to Peyton Manning and the Colts. Vermeil stepped down in 2005 after his 10-6 squad narrowly missed the postseason.

The common thread through all of his coaching stops was turning them into title-contending winners — and tears. Vermeil may be the poster child for grown men crying without shame in public. He did it after games, and he did it when announcing his resignations.

In a timeless 2019 conversation about his prolific career, and, yes, his emotional outbreaks, Vermeil joined Happy Hour's John Gaskins on FOX Sports Radio Sioux Falls (KWSN), co-hosted by Craig Mattick.

Interview 2 - Tim Reck

Sioux Falls Jefferson may be 5-8, but the Cavaliers are back at full strength and hoping for a season-swinging road win at No. 3 Mitchell (9-2) in the Corn Palace tonight.

Reck, a 30-year veteran of prep hoops coaching in the Sioux Falls School District, has been the Cavs head coach since day one in 2021. His fourth team is finally at full strength, ready to take on a Kernel squad that returns most of its lineup from a state championship team last March and just knocked off No. 1, undefeated Lincoln on Friday.

How can the Cavs score a major upset in one of the hallowed hall of high school hoops?

Tonight's game will be televised statewide on KSFL-TV Ch. 36 (Midco Ch. 616) and KNBN-2 (Ch. 21 in Rapid City), and can also be seen online at SiouxFallsLive.com and MitchellRepublic.com.

Sioux Falls Jefferson may be 5-8, but the Cavaliers are back at full strength and hoping for a season-swinging road win at No. 3 Mitchell (9-2) in the Corn Palace tonight.

The Cavs' optimism rides on the return of post Edward Whiting — who is currently receiving offers or interest as a football player from Auburn, Michigan State, USC, Iowa, Nebraska, Washington, and Vanderbilt, in addition to all the area Div. I and Div. II schools. Whiting's first game back was the Cavs' 58-57 win over rival Roosevelt on Saturday.

The Kernels (10-2) are the defending state champions and scored their biggest win of the season so far on Friday — beating then-No. 1 and undefeated Lincoln 69-58.
