    2 episodes in and I’m hooked! I had the chance to meet Mike Grimm a few years ago and he couldn’t be friendlier. He is such a great ambassador for Gopher Sports. I have always enjoyed his play by play so I’m not surprised I enjoy his podcast! I’m glad I’m subscribed! “This place is going Nuclear!”

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mara's Moment
Q: Is Mara's team-focused mindset one-game-at-a-time, or do you set broader goals for the tournament runs?
The team stays focused game by game, recognizing the stakes of each matchup and valuing the opportunity to play at home, while maintaining a broader goal of competing hard and enjoying the moment.
Gobbling Gophers
Q: What does this Turkey Drive mean to you personally?
It's bigger than us; it's about using the platform to give back to families in need and to gain perspective on life beyond football.
Team Taylor
Q: How have you balanced playing at a high level while also preparing for the Olympics?
I stay consistent with training, focus on staying healthy, and keep a forward-looking mindset game by game, making sure I recover and prepare for the next practice and game.
Abbey Murphy
Q: How has your Olympic experience influenced your leadership on the Gophers this season?
Watching and learning from older, accomplished players, and then stepping into leadership roles with the team has helped me emphasize consistency, accountability, and the importance of representing our country with every game.
Abbey Murphy
Q: Can you walk us through the moment when the viral assist happened and what your decision process looked like in real time?
I decided to try it as I carried the puck around the top of the circles, adjusted my pace to penetrate, and saw Bella Finale open for the finish; it happened quickly, and I believed in making the pass rather than taking a shot myself.
