  • The best local sports show, period. BUT… it often gets political

    This pod is essential if you follow NDSU sports. He often asks questions that would not be allowed on NDSU radio (Bison 1660). Routinely gets excellent guests, and offers air time to a lot of sports and stories that don’t get attention (high school sports etc). I listen to this show almost every single day.

    My one gripe is that his comments during the pandemic were certifiably unhinged and deliberately dishonest. I followed him because of how good his coverage is (and it is) and that he was lit... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

03/19/2025: Tim Polasek, Jake Heaps, Jory Collins, Ryan Napoli and Steve Laqua
Q: What makes Cole Payton a compelling NFL prospect according to Jake Heaps?
He has high athleticism, fast processing, excellent on-field vision, and a release that, while long, is quick with velocity; his tape shows consistency in pocket presence and big-time throws under duress, suggesting a strong NFL-ready toolbox with further refinement.
3/17/2026: Dave Richman, Mike McFeely, Joi Anderson, and Justin Wieck
Q: What's the plan for the Bison on Thursday in Buffalo?
The plan is a three-day prep with workouts, scouting, and a focused game plan; Richman emphasizes playing their best version and keeping the game on their terms.
3/17/2026: Dave Richman, Mike McFeely, Joi Anderson, and Justin Wieck
Q: What stands out about Michigan State and their matchup with NDSU?
Richman notes Michigan State's speed, physicality, and relentless transition; he expects a game where defense and finishing around the rim will matter as much as shooting, with patience and no excuses.
3/16/2026: Sam Herder, Jeff Kolpack and Darin Mattern
Q: What does this mean for the women's team with the WBIT and NCAA landscape evolving?
The WBIT provides higher-profile competition and scheduling flexibility, which should push the program to align non-conference play with Power Five opponents to bolster resume for at-large considerations.
3/16/2026: Sam Herder, Jeff Kolpack and Darin Mattern
Q: How does the team plan to approach a game against Michigan State?
Emphasize defense, execute on rebounding, and rely on the Summit League prep culture to stay competitive and find opportunities to run their game.
