Happy Hour with John Gaskins

Matt Zimmer on Brian Wilson, Sly Stone, pickup trucks, sports logos, SDSU likely "not opting in," SF Storm future after Fields resigns

Beer-logo'd golf bags. Old school MTV veejays. The Dead Guys of the Week — Brian Wilson and Sly Stone — and their place in music and pop culture history.

Matt Zimmer and John Gaskins tried their best to kick around fun and breezy topics to avoid that dreaded summer buzz kill — The NCAA-House Settlement and where schools like SDSU and USD fit into it.

But eventually, the hosts of the weekly "Nobody's Listening Anyway" podcast got down to busines at Gateway Lounge. What does this darn thing mean and what really matters to the college football fans of the Dakotas and the FCS?

What's also exhausting and confusing is if SDSU, USD, and NDSU will opt in or not, and what the competitive advantages and disadvantages would immediately be no matter what that choice is.

Over his ice cold Bud Light on tap, Zimmer — who, like most, is blurry-eyed from the deluge of reports and details about the Settlemen and what schools are doing about it — boils things down to the simplest and most straightforward of terms, including what SDSU football coach Dan Jackson makes of it.

Also, what is the bigger picture of the Sioux Falls Storm in the wake of head coach Andre Fields's resignation this week? Is this a sign the team may never come back? Why and how did it lose its hold on both its league and the springtime sports fans of Sioux Falls?

Also, some Twins Talk — Bailey Ober's injury, Buxton's boom, Wallner's emergence — and a few words about the University of Sioux Falls' new logo, which leads to the rabbit hole of SDSU and USD logos and sports team logos, in general.

On the way out, a word about "Tacos and Tequila," the upcoming hip-hop festival at The Birdcage, and Matt's new pickup truck. And his way to drive a pickup.
