Finishing up the conversation with Blake Toppmeyer; The List: Kyle Whittingham, Heisman Trophy; Top 5 Games of the Weekend! Tell Your Story, Jimmy Rogers.

This weekly show is now part of the "Happy Hour with John Gaskins" daily podcast, which you can find at SiouxFallsLive.com, MidwestSportsPlus.com, and most podcast platforms like the one you find here! So, if you enjoy the topics Matt & John cover, you'll get those topics, plus relevant local guests, every Monday through Thursday on Happy Hour... so we highly recommend you check that out!Is it time for the Coyotes to take a seat at the FCS "grownup" table? In other words, to make room to expand the "Big Four" of FCS football — North Dakota State, South Dakota State, Montana State, Montana — to the "Big Five?"USD has made three consecutive quarterfinals, something NDSU and SDSU — who have split the last four national titles, two apiece — can't say after losing in the round of 16 on Saturday (but the Bobcats and the Grizzlies can).Unlike the Big Four, the Coyotes haven't played in an FCS national title game within the last four years, or ever. We'll find out how they stack up against a blue blood Saturday on ABC in a time window when Army-Navy will be the only other football game to watch on over-the-air TV.But Sioux Falls Live sports editor Matt Zimmer and Happy Hour host John Gaskins dig in to what three years of USD reaching this round means, particularly for a 2025 team that has won five consecutive games — four against ranked teams — and left a 47-0 bruise on SoCon champ Mercer, the nation's best (statistical) offense and rush defense, by holding the Bears to 277 total yards (227 short of their average) and bulldozing them for 316 rushing yards (226 over their average).So, will the Coyotes stack up to the Grizzlies better than the Jackrabbits, who were 50-burgered? Zim and John kick that around as well in this week's edition of their five-years-and-running weekly podcast "Nobody's Listening Anyway."Also on the docket:* Why is Zim happy for Jimmy Rogers at Iowa State, and why does he find it nonsense to bash his character for leaving Washington State after less than a year to take his third head coaching job in four years? And why, in hindsight, was he still the best choice to take over for John Stiegelmeier?* Why does Zim feel Chase Mason doesn't need to go to the Big Ten or SEC or any FBS school to show NFL pros he is worthy of an early rounds NFL Draft selection?* What is Zim's sense of how many SDSU players who aren't out of eligibility will stick around?* Does NDSU's early round exit from the FCS Playoffs make the postseason more interesting or more boring? Does it make the FCS stronger? Does it strengthen or weaken the case that the Bison should want to stay in the FCS?* Oh, and should James Madison's entry into the CFB Playoffs make the case for NDSU and SDSU to "move up?" Actually, Zim says no. Why?* Bowl games — yeah, their prestige has been weakened over the decades by the sheer volume of them, the number of top players sitting them out, and now the number of teams refusing to play in them. Does that mean they should all go away? Zim says no. Hear why.

This weekly show is now part of the "Happy Hour with John Gaskins" daily podcast, which you can find at SiouxFallsLive.com, MidwestSportsPlus.com, and most podcast platforms like the one you find here! So, if you enjoy the topics Matt & John cover, you'll get those topics, plus relevant local guests, every Monday through Thursday on Happy Hour... so we highly recommend you check that out!What is the silver bullet?This is a question outside observers may ask when teams like the Jackrabbits and the Coyotes produce a late-season turnaround. Both have gone from funks — the Jacks' four-game slide after a 7-0 start and more the Yotes' haven't-figured-it-out-yet malaise at 5-4 — to heaters that make them look like dangerous playoff teams. In South Dakota State's case, the return of quarterback Chase Mason is an easy answer, given how flawless, electric, and inspired the Jacks looked in their 41-3 first round playoff win over New Hampshire. But SDSU had already turned the corner the week before in the dramatic win at North Dakota. So, what is the other silver bullet at SDSU? Hint: It lies in both the head coach and offensive coordinator. In Wednesday's "John-o-logue," Happy Hour John Gaskins plucked insight from Dan Jackson and others (like John Stiegelmeier) to pinpoint the turning points.At USD, there isn't one player or aspect that sticks out as a cure-all in their four-game win streak, which included three consecutive wins over Top 25 teams just to reach the playoffs.But there was a broad, overarching concept employed by head coach Travis Johansen that yielded powerful results. It wasn't an obvious or dramatic silver bullet, but Johansen reveals it in his weekly one-on-one 30 minute chat with Gaskins. After a close first half against Drake, the Yotes pulled away 38-17 in the first round of the playoffs as quarterback Aidan Bouman had his best game of the season.Was there a big turnaround moment for Bouman? How has Larenzo Fenner broken out into an at-times impossible-to-cover receiver? How did Mikey Munn become an All-MVFC first teammer? Johansen answers these questions and gives a glimpse into why Mercer has the nation's second-best passing yardage attack, and what kind of challenges the Bears defense will present to USD's now-humming offense.Meanwhile, Wednesday marked (Early) National Letter of Intent Signing Day for high school athletes all across the country. It is always a day for college football teams to pump up their incoming recruiting class.Gaskins chatted with two Sioux Falls standouts about their paths to CFB — Sioux Falls Washington receiver Jhace Woods (South Dakota State) and Sioux Falls Jefferson tight end Eddie Whiting (Michigan State).How did the schools they signed with first start a relationship? What led them to choosing their school, and which other schools tried to pluck them away?In both players' cases, the schools they chose went through coaching changes — Woods earlier in his process when Jacks coach Jimmy Rogers left for Washington State, and Whiting just days before signing day when MSU fired Jonathan Smith and within 24 hours hired Pat Fitzgerald.So, what kept the Sioux Falls ballers loyal to their original choice?  

On today' Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett and the Go-2-Guy Jim Moore open up the show and it get dominated by an outstanding column that Jim wrote at JimMooreTheGo2Guy.substack.com about certain things in the NFL that bothers him.  Yes, it's the most popular sport but some things are wrong with it like the over analytical commentary, the kickoff rules and personal foul penalties! Puck and Jim also touch in on the college football playoff rankings and Puck can't understand what the hell Washington State hoops coach David Riley was thinking in their Tuesday night loss to Bradley! Puck also highlights shows from this week involving “Inside Pitch” with Ryan Divish, John Canzano on the JaMarcus Shephard hire and their Old Crimson Cougars Podcast on the job that Jimmy Rogers has done in his first year. On this weeks, “Inside The Bloody Trenches” with Rob Staton, SeahawksDraftBlog.com, Puck and Rob discuss the Seattle Seahawks' recent victory over the Minnesota Vikings, focusing on the team's defensive performance and the standout play  Leonard Williams. They dive into the importance of character and leadership within the team, the up and down performance of  Sam Darnold, and the upcoming games that will determine the Seahawks' playoff prospects. The discussion also highlights the underperformance of Rashid Shaheed and the need for him to make a significant impact moving forward.“On This Day…”   Bob Marley, Latrell Sprewell, Ozzy Osbourne and the creator of Napster all covered.  Puck wraps up with, “Hey, What the Puck!?”   College football is so popular but it needs so much help (1:00) Puck and Jim (58:46) “Inside Pitch” and “Old Crimson” Light…Puck plays clips of his show with Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times on the M's and talking Cougs with Paul Sorensen and Jim Moore (1:05:19) Rob Staton, SeahawksDraftBlog.com (1:35:20) “On This Day….” (1:40:03) “Hey, What the Puck!” 

The boys are back for one final regular season visit for "Old Crimson" and Jason "Puck" Puckett, Jim Moore and former WSU All-American Paul Sorensen recap the 2025 season and discuss how good of a season was it for Jimmy Rogers in year one.  There was a lot to like under Rogers in year one, certainly there were some ups and downs, but under Rogers the Cougars showed a lot of promise in year one.  Withe letter of intent starting this week and the portal opening up in January it's imperative that the Cougs add to their roster and limit the losses.  Plus, lots of different opinions on where the Cougs will go bowling this season. 

How high in the NFL should the Seahawks be ranked? Who else should we be watching? Coug Talk with Mkristo Bruce and Alex Brink! The guys break down the Cougars' end of season as they became bowl eligible, what this season has meant in Jimmy Rogers' first year at the helm for WSU. The Daily Power Play!

On today's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett and Jim Moore, the Go-2-Guy, kickoff Monday's show discussing the Lane Kiffin mess and saga in college football and laugh at all the people who are coming to his defense and making excuses for him.  Puck and Jim also discuss that Jedd Fisch cost himself the Florida job this season and he probably regrets it.  Jimmy Rogers and the Cougs finish the season 6-6 and both agree it was a successful season.   The Seahawks shutout the Vikings and the defense is rolling, but did Minnesota give the rest of the league the blueprint on how to stop JSN? Michael-Shawn Dugar, The Athletic stops by for the “Dugar Report” and discusses the Seahawks dominating defense, the play of Sam Darnold, JSN's slow day, can Anthony Bradford be replaced and why has Rashid Shaheed not made an impact yet?“On This Day…”   Puck covers everything from Bingo, Seattle Pilots, Wilt Chamberlain and Pablo Escobar! Puck wraps up with, “Hey, what the Puck!?”   Lane Kiffin IS the problem, not college football(1:00) Puck and Jim (39:01) Michael-Shawn Dugar, The Athletic (1:04:03) “On this Day…”  (1:11:07) “Hey, What the Puck!?”

There's something raw and revealing about sitting down with a first-year head coach in the middle of a season that refuses to sit still. Schedules shift, emotions swing, and every week feels like both a marathon and a sprint. That's the space Jimmy Rogers is living in right now at Washington State, and it's the backdrop for the latest conversation on Y-Option, fueled by our founding sponsor, 76® - keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat.This week, the Cougs stand at 5–5 and pack their bags for a cross-country trip to face James Madison—a program that's earned national attention and Cinderella CFP conversation. Washington State has been in the fight in nearly ever big road game this year, and the timing felt right to bring their new leader onto the show. And being an honorary Coug, it just had to happen! What followed was a look behind the curtain at what it truly means to take over a program in this new era of college football and a man who truly understands the Role of a Coach.Rogers stepped into Pullman facing a landscape that had been reshaped by change. A new staff. More than 75 newcomers. A handful of veterans who had lived through multiple coaching transitions. The question looming over all of it was simple but daunting: How do you take all those pieces and build a culture that can withstand the long haul?That's where this conversation lives.I heard a man who's absorbed every challenge—roster turnover, expectation resets, the pressure to win immediately—and continued to build forward. It was clear how he views leadership in a time when the portal never closes, when continuity is rare, and when the identity of a program has to be crafted at full speed. And you see why Washington State believed he was the one to steady the program, set its direction, and carry it into the next era in the re-imagined Pac-12.Two games remain in year one: the trip to James Madison and a finale against Oregon State, a matchup steeped in the uniqueness of this final Pac-12 year. What comes next—bowl eligibility, momentum into recruiting, the foundation for year two—will unfold quickly. But after spending real time with Coach Rogers, it's clear he's planted something meaningful. A vision. A plan. A belief system. Year one is rarely smooth, but you can hear the clarity in how he's navigating every step.For Cougs fans, this conversation paints a roadmap into the future.For anyone curious about what it's really like to take over a program in 2025, it's a masterclass in vulnerability, leadership, and the grind of big-time football.The AfterglowI first connected with Coach Rogers after he took the job, at an event in the Pacific Northwest. Even in a crowded room it was obvious—this guy has presence. And presence matters when you're tasked with reshaping a roster and reestablishing a program's pulse.Listening to him lay out the chaos and the clarity of year one reminded me how difficult this job is, especially now. But it also reminded me why certain coaches break through: they see the road ahead before anyone else does.Two games remain. A bowl berth is within reach. And if everything breaks right, maybe the Cougs even end up in Los Angeles—selfishly, I'd love that. There's something special about this version of Washington State, something that feels like it's sharpening week by week.No matter how the final stretch goes, year one under Jimmy Rogers has delivered something every program wants: direction.And that's why you hire him.This weekendI'll be on the West Coast again this weekend, closing out your Saturday night on the call for Washington at UCLA from the Rose Bowl—potentially the final matchup of its kind in that historic venue.
