****Official Class Of 2027 Recruiting Thread****

I’ve walked around all 10 courts twice.

Didn’t see any Cyclone staff.

Did see Ohio State’s HC but he’s only two hours away.


We could also have a coaching staff member that we don’t know about. Have we made all our replacement hires?

KXNO Sports Fanatics

What’d Condon do to get suspended?
You'd have to listen to the podcast but he didnt exactly speak well of iHeart and basically said since he buys his time on the air and is not employed by them he is able to talk about the layoffs. Then at the end apparently Heather was in getting her things so Trent brought her on air and she even said something asking if she should be on the air. Trent said its his show he can have whoever he wants on. So my guess is it had to do something with what he said plus letting Heather on the air even if it was just a few minutes.

Im a bit the opposite of you. I also drive about 50k miles per year for work, but I can only do music for a short periods of time then I get bored. Podcasts to me make the time go by faster. So, I’m usually 90% podcasts and 10% music when driving.

Agree. Love podcasts and the longer the better makes drives or in my case listening at work makes the day go by faster.

Fales bit was great. Didn't hold back on what he thought of iHeart and dropped some truth bombs. Honestly I'll be a bit surprised if Condon's show airs again on KXNO if he did get suspended for what happened Wednesday. Just because he buys his air time doesn't mean he can say whatever he wants. Even if he does get back on air I would guess he's already been shopping around for a new place to land after what happened. Probably a lot easier to get advertisers when your show is bookend by 2 other local shows. The drive time shows are where the ratings and advertisement dollars are best spent as people want to listen to something local to and from their commute to work. I did not make a point to listen to Miller and Condon because I'm too consumed with work during the day to listen to anything and unless I heard that there was something good on their show that day I didn't listen to the podcast either.

The morning and afternoon shows were convenient because I could just turn on KXNO when I got in the car and if I wasn't interested in the topics I would just change to something else. Even crappy local sports talk is still better the national shows that will be aired instead as there is not an appetite for all the pro sports talk on those shows since we do not have a pro team in the state.

What’s In the Bag? ***GOLF EQUIPMENT THREAD***

Just ordered a Taylormade Quad mini driver. I just can’t get used to the cartoony size of new drivers (have a SimMax2) so I’ve been driving with my 5 iron for the last couple seasons. It gets me out 220 average, so it has been enough on most holes but my approach game has suffered as I’m usually hitting a lot of 8 irons in when I should have some variety of wedge.

***Official 2026 World Cup Thread***

I know I’m in the minority, but would love to see Morocco or Netherlands absolutely batter Canada and that weird little weasel Jesse Marsch
I do find it interesting how they are now being called "Canadian Heroes" for finishing 2nd in an average Group and then beat a 60th ranked South African team in which it took till the 92nd minute to score a goal.
