FULL SHOW: Chris Streveler (USD legend), Thirsty Thursday Yotes-Griz forecast, Nate Kaeding previews metro HS Hoops season

The swashbuckling, clutch playmaking. The larger-than-life personality. The fur coat with bare skin underneath in the sub-zero temperatures in the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' CFL title parade. There is only one Chris Streveler, and the South Dakota Coyotes enjoyed the spoils of Strevy in the program's first winning season in Div. I, first FCS Playoffs appearance, and first D1 postseason win during his record-smashing senior season of 2017. The Chicagoland native's two-year USD career ended in a blaze of glory as threw for 520 yards and five touchdown passes — adding 52 rushing yards and a running score — in a wild comeback that fell short in a 1300-yard, shootout-for-the-ages 54-42 loss at Sam Houston State in the Round of 16. Streveler has vivid memories of that game and others from his indelible USD career in a 45-minute interview with Happy Hour host John Gaskins. He also regales with stories of his recruitment to Vermillion from the University of Minnesota, where he had switched to play wide receiver after losing battles to be the Gophers' starter. What were his first impressions of program builder Bob Nielson and the DakotaDome? And what are his impressions of the program — particularly current quarterback Aidan Bouman — eight years later under Travis Johansen, with a surging squad that has reached the quarterfinals for the third consecutive season? And then, there was that victory parade in Winnipeg that made Streveler an even bigger legend both in Canada and South Dakota. What led to his hypothermic fashion choice? And what marching order did he and teammates ignore (well, miss) to ensure an epic celebration? You'll get the fully Strevy, and you'll like it. Even if you're not a Coyote fan. Well... Jackrabbit fans may not love his memories of a 31-28 loss to SDSU that senior season. Before Streveler, enjoy an hour-long preview of Saturday's USD-Montana playoff game in Missoula from Trent Singer — who will be there — and Gaskins from the Orion Pub in downtown Sioux Falls. If you're a local high school basketball fan, stick around for a season preview — teams and players to watch — from Midwest Sports Plus analyst, former D1 and D2 assistant coach, and Sanford Sports Academy basketball coordinator Nate Kaeding. The Midwest Sports Plus season full of live prep hoops on the MS+ app starts Friday at 5:30 with a doubleheader between city rivals Jefferson and Roosevelt.
