College Football Week 7 is upon us, and we're diving deep into what might be the steeliest slate of the season. This isn't about flashy plays or explosive offenses—this week belongs to the teams willing to do the dirty work in the trenches. After walking back through some extra thoughts on Alabama-Mizzou, Ohio State-Illinois and Indiana-Oregon, we get down to business. In this episode, we break down every major matchup and the debates get heated as we disagree on nearly every pick, including whether Oklahoma can shock Texas, if Auburn can pull the upset in Jordan-Hare, and which team controls the trenches in Michigan vs USC. Plus, we preview BYU-Arizona, Iowa State-Colorado, and a loaded slate of under-the-radar games that could shape the playoff picture. Plus, as a special treat, ESPN's Chris Fowler joins us to discuss the season's biggest surprises, why he misses calling games out West, and more. We also get his take on the unpredictability of this college football season and what makes a great broadcast moment.

It's an open question, as is John Mateer's availability* Iowa State at Colorado, where it looks like Deion Sanders is winding it down* Arkansas at Tennessee, a showcase spot for Bobby Petrino* Georgia at Auburn, a chance for Auburn to show what it's got up front* South Carolina at LSU, which looks less enticing than it once did* Arizona State at Utah, with Big 12 title ramifications* THE MAIN COURSE, PRESENTED BY MODELO: The great Dan Rubenstein of The Solid Verbal podcast joins us to talk about Indiana-Oregon and the Ducks' continued rise under Dan LanningThank you to our subscribers and partnersBecome a paid subscriber today to get a lot more SZD, and check out www.nokiantyres.com/szd and www.homefieldapparel.com20% off Dad Water: https://drinkdadwater.com/discount/SZD This is a public episode.

Send us a textFeeling stuck in your teaching practice? Wondering how to better support struggling students? You're not alone. Many educators reach a point where they need deeper knowledge and skills to advance their impact. Dr. Elizabeth Burke Hadley's journey from literature lover to high school English teacher to literacy researcher demonstrates how advanced study can transform both career trajectory and professional effectiveness.Graduate education provides more than just additional teaching techniques. It offers theoretical frameworks that help explain why certain approaches work, research-based evidence to guide instructional decisions, and a community of fellow educators who bring diverse perspectives and experiences. As Dr. Hadley explains, "Graduate studies really deepened my understanding of everything in the classroom." This deeper understanding translates directly to improved student outcomes.Feeling inspired?

NOTICE: 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! Winners win, because that's what winners do.That has been the slogan for University of Sioux Falls football ever since Bob Young started the 30-year tradition of winning seasons — with only one exception — 30 years ago. It is a slogan Kalen DeBoer, then a USF star receiver, carried into his 67-3 head coaching stint after replacing Young in 2005 and then eventually as head coach at Fresno State, Washington, and Alabama (combined 57-14 record).On Saturday night in Montana and Monday night at Soldier Field, "winners win" applied to both South Dakota State quarterback Chase Mason and Minnesota Vikings signal caller J.J. McCarthy, who won state titles as high school quarterbacks. (McCarthy was 27-1 as a starter at Michigan).Both experiencing their first road games in hostile environments as their team's new starting QB, Mason and McCarthy overcame mostly-unproductive offense outputs in the first three quarters to account for three touchdowns each when it counted most — Mason with three TD strikes in the fourth quarter and overtimes and McCarthy firing two fourth quarter scoring darts, then running in the game-winning score in Chicago.In their weekly klatch over cocktails at Gateway Lounge in Sioux Falls, Happy Hour host John Gaskins and Sioux Falls Live sports editor Matt Zimmer broke down the "it" factor that propelled these two quarterbacks to massive, clutch wins. Zimmer then dives into other aspects of an impressive 2-0 SDSU start — a stout defense, breakout wideout Lofton Groske, and Dan Jackson's leadership.Meanwhile, it has been a miserable mess for former Jacks QB Mark Gronowski at Iowa. Why? Hear why Zim thinks it has more to do with the Hawkeyes than the "Million Dollar Man."Things are no better for USD's Aidan Bouman, who surely missed three outstanding linemen and elite skill weapons no longer at his disposal as he struggled in losses at Iowa State and Lamar. Should we lower expectations for the Coyotes now?And don't get Zim started on "Phillies Karen."

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! You get hired to get fired. That has become the new old adage in modern day, big business college and pro sports for coaches and managers. After seven seasons, three playoff appearances, and the first playoff series win in over 20 years, Twins manager Rocco Baldelli became the latest casualty of this concept. Was it warranted? Is he the "fall guy?"Is it best the Twins move on even if Rocco is quite clearly not the primary reason for the sad state of affairs at Target Field? Beyond asinine ownership, what else besides Baldelli can we blame for the sinking ship the Twins became the last couple years?Speaking of sinking ships, has a bruised and battered Minnesota Vikings offensive line given enough reason to already believe this could be a lost season, or can a quarterback — either J.J. McCarty or Carson Wentz — and an all-of-a-sudden leaky defense keep NFC North title and even Super Bowl hopes afloat? In a monster week of football for the city of Sioux Falls and South Dakota's two Div. I teams, Happy Hour host John Gaskins and Sioux Falls Live sports editor Matt Zimmer lead off with these pressing Minnesota matters.Then, it is time to pick apart the South Dakota Coyotes' latest ugly loss in a revealing "measuring stick game" at No. 1 North Dakota State. Just like Monday's episode with Kurtiss Riggs, John and Matt try best to answer this question now that the 2025 season is about one-third in the books:With both the Jackrabbits and Coyotes losing head coaches, assistants & a bunch of their best players from top 5 teams in 2024, how and why have the Jacks remained national championship contenders (so it appears) while the Yotes have fallen off the radar (and out of the Top 25 rankings)?Meanwhile, Augustana will take its No. 8 ranking and 5-0 record across Sioux Falls to Bob Young Field on Saturday against now-unranked University of Sioux Falls (3-2) in the Key to the City Game. While the Vikings have the better record and momentum — the Cougars have lost back-to-back games in convincing fashion to Top 15-rated Duluth and Mankato — why does Zim feel the Coo have the advantage, and not just because USF has home field advantage?Finally, a preview of the most-anticipated game in South Dakota 11AAA high school football so far — No. 1 Lincoln at No. 2 Brandon Valley on Friday, a game you'll be able to watch on the Midwest Sports Plus app or at MidwestSportsPlus.com, where you can also download the app and start your 30-day free trial.

Send us a textWhat drives successful teachers to return to graduate school after years in the classroom? For elementary teacher Christy Gupta, it was recognizing gaps in her knowledge about early literacy instruction that propelled her into USF's Master's in Reading Education program. In this candid conversation, Christy shares how graduate education has transformed both her teaching practice and her professional confidence."I wanted to read research firsthand and not always get it digested from somebody else's perspective," Christy explains, describing how reading Natalie Wexler's influential book "The Knowledge Gap" sparked her desire to access primary research. Now eight courses into her program, she's gained not just theoretical knowledge but practical tools that directly benefit her students. Her studies have illuminated the critical connection between executive functioning skills and academic achievement, changed how she approaches writing instruction, and given her "the courage of my convictions" when advocating for research-based practices.Feeling inspired?

A presidential search committee at the University of South Florida just named Dr. Moez Limayem as the only finalist for the job. The Board of Trustees and State University Board of Governors will vote on his nomination. He's been president at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville since 2022. Before that he spent ten years as Dean of the Muma College of Business at USF. We're reposting an interview with Dr. Limayem from 2021, in which he spoke about a course offered by the College of Business at USF to promote what's now referred to as DEI. (This was two years before Governor DeSantis signed a bill outlawing DEI at state universities in 2023.) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There were plenty of clues about institutional alignment in the Rob Higgins hire at USF. I break down why I accurately predicted him getting the job months in advance as a case study in institutional fit and how boards/presidents operate. College athletics is a copycat industry. The Danny White AD tree branches continue with Utah State's hire of Cameron Walker. I explain why more presidents will hire to replicate the UT model than automatically looking at candidates outside the industry.www.HigherEdAthletics.com

We're just a few weeks into the college football season and the picture is just starting to come into focus.
