Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 255 ratings
  • Good host, guests hit and miss

    Michael Rand is consistently good, but some of his Strib guests are far better at writing than they are at speaking. I would put Pat Reusse and Cassidy Hettesheimer in that category.

  • Best MN sports show

    I absolutely love this podcast. Have listened religiously for about 3 years. I’m an ex pat but grew up on all the MN teams and Randball helps keep me up to date. Reusse Mondays are the best!

  • Great Show But…

    I love the Show look forward to it every day but the Poetry segment needs to go. Luckily I can click on ‘Transcript’ and avoid it while listening. Don’t get rid of Reusse, his frank and biting comments are appreciated.

  • Vikings Poetry? Really?

    Like the show generally but the Vikings Poetry segment is a total waste of time. Poetry on a sports podcast? Seriously? Stay off my yard.

A dramatic Twins win; Gophers football outlook; What if neither QB is good?
Q: What are some of the takeaways so far from Big Ten Media Day that you're hearing?
Randy describes a generally optimistic but nuanced landscape: Fleck's group is experienced at key positions, the team has depth added to the quarterback room, and there's cautious optimism about the season while acknowledging the realities of NIL and funding constraints.
Wes Walz on Dylan Larkin, Wild centers; A new TV home for Wolves; Twins disaster
Q: How did the acquisition of Quinn Hughes reshape the Wild's lineup expectations?
Walz describes Hughes as a transformative player who elevates teammates, improves both ends of the ice, and changed how the coach and players view roster potential and playoff readiness.
Wes Walz on Dylan Larkin, Wild centers; A new TV home for Wolves; Twins disaster
Q: What does a true number one center look like beyond scoring numbers?
Walz explains that a true number one center must contribute defensively as much as offensively, handle tough minutes, and be dependable in key situations; names players who blend offense with strong defensive play as examples.
A tiebreaker year for Kevin O'Connell; Bobby Nightengale on the Twins, trade deadline
Q: How would trading Joe Ryan affect their plans for 2027 and beyond?
Trading Joe Ryan would require a clear signal that they're prioritizing the future, but it could set back immediate pitching depth; the team would need solid alternatives in the wings to justify such a move.
