Podcast appearances and mentions of Missouri Valley

Scared money don't make money—and the Valley gauntlet is officially here !In this episode of the Jackrabbit Illustrated podcast, Ben, Brendan, and Alex link up with special guest Gino Leone from the Penguin Nation Fans Podcast to unpack a massive week of Missouri Valley Football Conference action. First, the guys recap the South Dakota State Jackrabbits' dominant 57-14 blowout victory over the New Haven Chargers. Once the victory lap is handled, it's straight to the board as the crew fires up the model and goes lock-by-lock through the Missouri Valley slate, picking winners against the spread for all the weekend's best action. Finally, we shift our focus to Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium for the massive conference-opening showdown against the Youngstown State Penguins. It is a official WHITEOUT game in Brookings, and Gino helps break down how the Jacks stack up against YSU. Expect tactical analysis, slate-wide gambling locks, and our normal high-energy banter. Get your white gear ready, don't play scared, and let's cash some tickets!

Ask a sitting Division I commissioner to grade the current state of college athletics and most will dodge. Dan Butterly doesn't. The Big West commissioner tells Jimmy exactly where he thinks the enterprise stands right now — and why the uncertainty around NIL, revenue sharing, and the portal is generating anxiety for everyone in the building, not just the athletes.Jimmy and Dan go back more than 25 years, to Big Monday broadcasts and ten o'clock Mountain Time tip-offs. In this one, Dan traces a path that started somewhere unexpected: he tried out to be drum major of the Illinois State marching band and finished fourth. That rejection sent him to the basketball office, where he became a student manager — and where, at a summer camp in 1990, he met his wife Elaine.From there: the Missouri Valley, helping launch the Mountain West in 1999, and then becoming a first-time commissioner on May 4, 2020, hired entirely over Zoom, at the exact moment the world shut down. Dan walks through the decision to sit out fall 2020 sports, what he leaned on when the calls were impossible, and why his first question when a student-athlete leaves is always "what could we have done better?"He also shares the verse he keeps in his social media bio — 1 Peter 3:8 — and what "be humble" actually costs a leader who has to tell people no for a living. Plus, the concussion decision he made about his own daughter's cheerleading career, and why he's convinced she now understands it.Jimmy closes the episode solo with a reflection on God's path, rejection, and what it really means to do all things through Christ.Dan is the 2026 recipient of the NABC Cliff Wells Appreciation Award.

The Midwest has long been a farming powerhouse, including productive corn and soybean fields as far as the eye can see. At the second annual XPRT Farm Field Day in Missouri Valley, Iowa, growers and industry members gathered to see crops powered by Redox and hear about the decades of science that backs this successful agronomy. “The difference that Redox is making in the Midwest is absolutely tremendous,” said Redox Agronomist Zach Carlson. “It has absolutely been adopted very, very quickly.”One attendee was Tom Haase with TN Ag in Nebraska, a grower, crop advisor and distributor. A top priority is increasing efficiency with nitrogen. “The more money we can save the farmer, the more return on investment he has on the field.”A key component to better optimizing nitrogen, which has multiple benefits, is the breakthrough product, RDX-N®, a patented and potent biostimulant that took years to perfect.  Grower Chris Duffy in New York also attended the field day. He said he has significantly increased his use of Redox products, and the results to date have been very promising.“Soil health starts with having a healthy plant,” remarked Kelly Roder of Green Key Ag in Iowa. Roder and Noah Fedders from Green Key were also on hand. “A healthier plant means the less fertilizer used, because we are mineralizing better. It's a spiral up verses a spiral down.”Find out more about the 500-acre XPRT Farm at redoxgrows.com/xprt/.

On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking USC football game week finally arriving, with the Missouri State Bears coming to the Coliseum to kick things off on Saturday afternoon. Last season head coach Ryan Beard led MSU to an 8-4 record, 6-2 in the Missouri Valley, good for 4th place in the conference. This season the Bears move up to Conference USA and will try to shock the world with an upset of USC on the road. The guys talk about what the challenges are of facing a lower level opponent out of the gate as opposed to a high profile opener like the Trojans had last season against LSU. They also share what they know about this Missouri State football program including how Beard took over for then head coach Bobby Petrino following the 2022 college football season. Petrino has since moved on to become the offensive coordinator at UNLV in 2023, Texas A&M in 2024 and now Arkansas in 2025. Coach Hyde talks about how he feels that high school football in Southern California is as good as anywhere in the country. Coach Hyde is a former high school coach and to see these top teams travel across the country and win was really impressive. He also talks about using private quarterback coaches and how he feels the SEC going to nine conference games will help USC keep its series with Notre Dame going into the future. Coach Harvey Hyde has been part of the Peristyle Podcast since 2008 and in the USC football world he is an expert on X's and O's, personnel, coaching philosophies and recruiting.
