Ross Peterson of Sound-Off joined us in the studio this morning just after the 7:30 news to chat about the upcoming Hawkeye football game with North Texas. Ross feels that North Texas will have about the same type of play as Iowa State only not as good and that Iowa should win by a margin of about 20 points. Pre-game is on WHO Radio at 12:30PM, game time is 2:30PM and Sound-Off will follow the game at approximately 6:30PM-10PM with Ross and Travis.
Bob Hopper with the Mid-Iowa Council Boy Scouts joined us in the studio this morning just after the 8:30 news. It's Boy Scout Popcorn Season! And boy, do they have a huge selection of popcorn. Bob says, remember, you're really giving a donation to support the Boy Scouts and they are giving you some fantastic popcorn as a "thank-you". The popcorn they sell comes from right here in Iowa from Snappy Popcorn. They even have a military and 1st responder popcorn offer. You can buy the popcorn and have it sent to the military or 1st responders. If a Boy Scout does not contact you and you would like to have someone stop by, call Bob at the Mid-Iowa Council at 515-266-2135 and he will have a Scout contact you. You can hear Bob's entire interview here...
