FULL SHOW: Brooklyn Meyer, Matt Vitzthum, Buxton continues Twins tear, and boycotting the Twins

from Happy Hour with John Gaskins · host John Gaskins

One just ended her reign of terror on the rest of the Summit League. One just started his reign as head coach of an FCS powerhouse.   And both of Wednesday's guests on "Happy Hour with John Gaskins" had much to discuss.   Just over a month ago, Brooklyn Meyer hoisted the Summit League Tournament trophy for the fourth time, capping a prolific career in which she finished twice as an All-American, three times on the All-Summit League first team, and won this year's Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year award.    But now what?    Meyer went unselected in Monday's three-round WNBA Draft — only one mid-major player out of 45 was selected — and did not receive an offer to sign as an undrafted free agent by any of the 15 teams. That's shocking if you don't follow the WNBA, but the Happy Hour host details some reasons at the start of the show.   Does she still have her eyes set on playing professionally somewhere, somehow? Meyer answers that question early in this 47-minute chat, then gives hints near the end. She also goes down memory lane at SDSU — including her recruitment, her decision to choose the Jacks over several regional Power Four schools (Nebraska, Iowa, Iowa State, Minnesota, Wisconsin, among others), her friendships with legendary teammates Myah Selland and Paige Meyer, her interest in nutrition and dietetics (her major), and the lighter side of Aaron Johnston.   Just over two months ago, Vitzthum was introduced as South Dakota's head football coach. Shortly after the ceremony, he discussed in a Happy Hour interview what he planned to bring to the table.   But now what?   What has he discovered from the captain's chair at USD after being a lifelong assistant coach? What kind of advice has his predecessor, Travis Johansen offered him.   And what about his team? The Coyotes lost three-year starting quarterback Aidan Bouman to graduation, which puts a bright spotlight on the three players vying to take over. What is Vitzthum's assessment of them? Will he tailor the offense to the skill sets of whoever emerges?   How is All-America running back Charles Pierre, Jr., looking after missing almost the entire season with an injury suffered in the second game?   For that matter, how about a rundown of all position groups, plus some new coaches?  It is all there, plus his reaction to North Dakota State's move to the FBS.   Before the A-list interviews, the Happy Hour host explains why Meyer didn't get a WNBA opportunity (it's not her fault) and why Byron Buxton is the most exciting Twins player ever—and one of the club's most amazing stories.   Buxton, who hit two home runs and scored from first base on a single in a 6-0 win over Boston on Tuesday, is one reason Twins fans may tune in to a squad with low expectations. But video producer Cordell White explains why fans should not go to games at Target Field.
