  • 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

  • Too much partisan yelling

    Used to love Dom but then he started yelling for hours about masks...”if we would just wear masks, we could have a season”.....well now look at Europe who supposedly did it so much better than we did. Too political for me, if I want that there are hundreds of political pods

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

8/25/2026: Mike McFeely, Rocky Larson, and Steve Laqua
Q: What is the plan for start-week quarterback decisions for the Dragons?
Steve Laqua described having a plan for starting the game, with multiple potential paths depending on how Northern Michigan attacks, and a readiness to adapt to tempo and defense; the plan emphasizes competency across quarterbacks and execution under bright game conditions.
9/1/2026: Mike McFeely, Bill Nelson, and Steve Laqua
Q: What did you make of week zero of the other Mountain West?
The Mountain West teams generally did not perform up to expectations; there were individual bright spots, but overall the results suggested the league would be competitive but not dominant, with some teams showing athletically capable rosters while others underperformed, setting the stage for a competitive conference race.
8/24/2026: Jeff Kolpack, Noah Stommes, and Tom Miller
Q: What are the key fall camp takeaways for the Bison offensive line and who might start at right guard?
Kolpack and the hosts discuss Mangan at right guard due to Nate Tosted's injury, with Empy and Babitz mentioned as potential contributors, emphasizing the heavy emphasis on five-man line continuity.
9/10/2026: Justin Gaard, Sam Goetzinger, Grant Olson and, Dan Larson
Q: What stands out about Air Force's offense and how will you approach stopping it?
Olson explains Air Force runs a modern triple option with a mix of ground and play-action elements, and the defense must stay disciplined, rotate effectively, and tackle the downhill runners while keeping the quarterback's options in check.
8/14/2026: Cory Provus, Josh Krivarchka, and Jeremiah Patterson
Q: What was Cory Provus's mood like driving back from Dyersville after the Field of Dreams game?
He described the experience as unforgettable and emotional, with the hall-of-famers arriving through the corn and the overall atmosphere living up to the hype, making it one of those moments you remember for a long time.
