Too Much TV: American Outlaws

We’re talking soccer this week on the Too Much TV podcast as Clint Krahn of the Sioux Falls chapter of the American Outlaws - the organized fan group of U.S. Soccer - stops by to talk about the growth of the game, the state of the U.S. Men’s National Team and their local outfit.

Here’s the link. And another. Ooh - and another. On reader advice, I’m on Stitcher now. So there’s that.

Too Much TV: Kristin Rotert

Turns out the NCAA is right about at least one thing: Most of its student-athletes go pro in something other than sports. 

That’s the topic this week on the Too Much TV podcast - moving on from an extended athletic career. Former South Dakota State standout Kristin Rotert tells us about her experience with that. She also hits on hanging with former UConn standout Caroline Doty and gives some exercise advice. 

Here’s the link. And another.

Too Much TV: Dale Moss

South Dakota State wasn’t the only football team with an off week last week - the Tampa Bay Bucs were idle, too, giving practice squad receiver Dale Moss an opportunity to return home to Sioux Falls to visit friends and family.

He also made some time for the media. The Brandon Valley and SDSU grad is this week’s guest on the Too Much TV podcast, taking you inside the NFL for a glimpse of life on the practice squad.

Here’s the link.

Too Much TV: Luke Meadows

Too Much TV is taking a road trip this week, visiting former South Dakota State associate head coach Luke Meadows in his new home at Florida Atlantic in sunny Boca Raton.

The Owls are 1-4 this season, which doesn’t sound great, but already matches their 2011 win total. And the schedule hasn’t exactly been accommodating with road games vs. Georgia and Alabama in consecutive weeks.

That’s one of the things we get in to: What’s that level of play like?

Here’s the link.

Also, stop back here at 2 p.m. Thursday for the weekly live chat. No bye week here.

Too Much TV: Northwestern vs. USD

This week on Too Much TV, we play the money game - digging into the upcoming South Dakota at Northwestern football game with Wildcats play-by-play voice Dave Eanet.

The Wildcats are off to a 3-0 start, have some pretty sweet new uniforms and have a history of producing pretty solid journalists. But what else should we know in advance of the Saturday contest? Eanet – the reigning Illinois sportscaster of the year – fill us in.

Here’s the link.

We’re talking turkey this week on Too Much TV. Or not? That’s why Hannah Nelson of the National Institute for Athletic Health and Performance is here - to tell us what we should or shouldn’t be eating to get the most out of our bodies during competition.

The sports dietician has started a nutrition blog geared toward Summit League student-athletes.

Here’s the link.

Too Much TV: David Michaud

Too Much TV is venturing into the octagon this week - didn’t think we had that kind of grit, did you?

Actually, we don’t - but guest David Michaud does. He’s a former South Dakota State wrestler from Pine Ridge and one of 32 contestants on an upcoming MMA reality show on FX. The winner gets a six-figure contract with the UFC.

Here’s the link.
