NLA: Zim on SDSU baseball's NCAA trip, FBS vs FCS (highest level vs titles), Kalen DeBoer & Kurtiss Riggs' Happy Hour chat, and if Twins should consider trading Joe Ryan

Yeah, Happy Hour went there again.   Despite the 0-2 result, which included a 17-0 undressing by baseball blueblood Arizona State, South Dakota State baseball's maiden voyage to an NCAA Baseball regional — playing baseball powerhouses in front of 8,000 people in the postseason — made the host and Sioux Falls Live sports editor Matt Zimmer think:   Is playing for FCS national championships really that much more meaningful or cool than moving to the FBS with a shot at tasting a College Football Playoff but with a near-zero shot at winning a national title?   You have to be on the stage or at least see it to believe it.   Zim was in Lincoln to soak in the Jackrabbits' horn-locking with the Huskers in the Sea of Red, then watched the Sun Devils' skewering the next day. As any sharp reporter would, he observed the players' pregame and in-game body language and postgame remarks.   The topic leads to a bigger picture observation Zim has made while covering local high school and college athletes in South Dakota for over 20 years: What most athletes truly want when choosing the college they'll attend. "Play" provides a big play on words here.    Speaking of the FBS jump, how intriguing and superior is North Dakota State's position, considering the Bison will play in nine nationally televised games in their FBS maiden voyage?   Other topics from this Tuesday afternoon breeze shooting-of-the-breeze from Gateway Lounge:   * What were Zim's takeaways from last week's Happy Hour conversation with Kalen DeBoer and Kurtiss Riggs?   * Should the Minnesota Twins consider trading Joe Ryan?   * How compelling is this year's NBA Finals?
