  • Grateful

    Living in the Twin Cities and there is no source that covers sports across the state from high school to NCAA to Pro - South Dakotans should feel fortunate to have John putting out this daily content. Go Jacks.

  • Pleasant Surprise that has moved to the top of my podcast rotation

    Recently moved up to SF in July and I had only known of John Gaskins as Harry Canary (great bobblehead) and I recently learned he does podcasts too on top of Dakota News Now! As an Iowan we had a couple radio shows/podcasts that covered area sports at all levels and I am very glad I found this one. I consume both Happy Hour and Nobody’s Listening Anyway now. Thank you John, keep up the good work, see ya at The Birdcage!

Super Bowl! SDSU alumnus Adam Timmerman on playing in four Super Bowls from 1996-01 (Re-Release)
Q: How hard did you take it after losing the Super Bowl against the Patriots?
That was hard on me because we didn't perform well, and talking every phase of the game, not just the offensive line, not just the offense, but really every phase of the game. We just didn't play like we should have.
