Camp Time! Jacks, Yotes, Vikings QB scan: Mason set for big year, three-horse race at USD, and Murray's job to lose in Minnesota?

from Happy Hour with John Gaskins · host John Gaskins

It's time to go camping.   The Jackrabbits, Coyotes, and Minnesota Vikings all launch their preseason practices this week.   Happy Hour blasts off the month leading up to the season's kickoff with a glimpse into the three-horse quarterback race at USD and the two-horse race in Minnesota, plus the only horse SDSU hopes to ride in 2026.   To some, Chase Mason may appear to be more hype than reality, considering the former University of Nebraska baseball player has only started nine games in his career at QB1.   But the Happy Hour host explains why the 6'5 gunslinger with blazing speed should light up the Missouri Valley Conference Football season. Meanwhile, Coach Dan Jackson explains Mason's progress in leadership and health during the offseason.   Hear first year Coyote coach Matt Vitzthum's description of the three QBs jockeying to replace Aidan Bouman. What factors will determine who wins the job? When "Coach Vitz" plans on making the call?   Meanwhile, Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell whipped up another word salad in depicting the competition between Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy, but a recently retired Vikings legend provided a little more candor and clarity about where things might truly stand.
