NLA: Zim on good old days (80's & 90's), streaming sucks, Darnold-Vikings teeth gnashing (?), Summit hoops

from Happy Hour with John Gaskins · host John Gaskins

In the thick of the Summit League basketball regular season race, with a "State vs U" women's basketball showdown coming up on Saturday, and with a Super Bowl that includes the quarterback the Minnesota Vikings discarded coming up, there is no shortage of excellent local and regional sports topics for Sioux Falls Live's Matt Zimmer and John Gaskins to talk about.   And don't worry, they do in the latest version of their weekly podcast "Nobody's Listening Anyway" on Happy Hour.   But sometimes when you get together at a sports bar — in this case the Gateway Lounge — to talk about sports, you start by going down a rabbit hole full of nostalgia.   Behold, a couple of Gen X dudes in the mid-forties strolling down memory lane back to the days of cable TV, newspapers, terrestrial radio, and how sports was easier to consume (and perhaps better consumed that way). The chat stems from Zim's column about the perils and evils of the streaming era we live in.   For Zim, it is a chance to vent and wax poetic about our society. For John, a chance to finally weave the 1980's late night cable movie Sorority Babes and the Slimeball Bowl-o-rama into the show.   But again, don't worry, you'll hear the two eventually carry on about:   * Teeth-gnashing or no-teeth-gnashing about the Vikings letting Sam Darnold walk   * North Dakota State's men and women currently kings and queens of the Summit League   * Which Jackrabbit and Coyote teams besides the SDSU women appear primed for a big down-the-stretch surge before the tourney in Sioux Falls   * The "split doubleheader" concept in Vermillion on Saturday — SDSU-USD women at 1 p.m., then NDSU-USD men at 5 p.m.... huh?
