Thank you for this legit podcast! The more (and good) Gophers content the better! GREAT listen, even when I disgaree.
This is where you go when you want instant feedback of how the team and coaches performed on game day.
Absolutely life giving to a Minnesotan living in the South. I eat up every second of the content as well as callers who feel the pain of Vikings fandom like I do. Even the coffee club content is fun and interesting.
In depth, not at all rah-rah. A solid discussion of everything Vikings.
Keep up good work
