This week, Bill and Alex are joined by Nick Joos of Iowa State Athletics ahead of North Dakota Football’s August 31 season opener in Ames against the Big 12’s Cyclones (1:45). The guys then discuss the NoDak news of the day, including impressions on football’s first two-deep of 2024, the announcement of hockey’s new leadership group, and the solid start to soccer’s regular season (17:33). On the B-Side (46:23), Spurs and Liverpool open the new English Premier League season with similar performances – and familiar, differing results.
