Mind Games with Guerin Emig

Des Moines Register columnist Randy Peterson joins Guerin Emig for Guerin’s latest episode of Mind Games on the Sellout Crowd podcast network. Randy’s 50-year ride at the Register makes him dean of the Iowa State beat and uniquely qualified to address the state of the Cyclones ahead of their games against OSU this week and OU next. Among the topics on this week’s show: Matt Campbell’s frustration, ISU’s offensive ineptitude, the gambling probe that hit both the Cyclones and Iowa Hawkeyes, Georges Niang’s grace and the omnipresence of Busch Light around ISU’s legendary tailgate scene.

Sellout Crowd columnist Guerin Emig welcomes Tulsa athletic director Rick Dickson for episode 5 of Mind Games on the Sellout Crowd network. Dickson hired Kevin Wilson as TU football coach last December, a risk given the controversial 2016 end of Wilson’s tenure at Indiana. Dickson is candid on that hiring process and the expectations for the second-time head coach at TU. He also opens up about the challenges of helming the athletics department at a small, private school at a time it’s easy to get left behind both competitively and financially. He compares his two tours of duty at TU, having been Golden Hurricane AD from 1990-94, reflects on a you-can’t-be-serious Key West encounter with Mike “Miguel” Leach, and admits he screwed up by opting out of Drew Pearson’s drills rotation as a 1970s TU defensive back… right to Steve Largent’s.

Joe Castiglione joins Sellout Crowd columnist Guerin Emig for Mind Games and reflects back on his 25th anniversary as Oklahoma athletic director. That leads to more topics. Among them: How much longer does Castiglione want to do this… His thoughts on the current landscape of college athletics… How OU is positioned for its transition to the SEC in 10 months… How much Castiglione is going to miss the Big 12… OU’s relationship with rivals Texas and Oklahoma State… Does Castiglione ever ponder potential successors for his job like he ponders eventual coaching candidates?

Sellout Crowd columnist Guerin Emig welcomes back OU beat writer Eli Lederman for the Mind Games episode “Let the Games Really Begin.” Guerin and Eli discuss the Sooners following the lead of most Big 12 teams in Week 2 by stepping up in class. OU, OSU, Texas, Texas Tech, Kansas, K-State, Iowa State, Baylor, Houston and UCF will all be tested harder than they were in Week 1. Guerin and Eli consider the weight on the Big 12 for that reason, and on the Longhorns most of all as they travel to Alabama. The show concludes with Exit Questions involving the Jackson Arnold Experience, the Pony Express, Gregg Berhalter vs. Gio Reyna and hard seltzer vs. beer.
