Emails drove a good chunk of the conversation, and we're honestly embarrassed about a couple of the North Dakotans repping the 70Won that we hadn't discussed yet! The emails were spurred by our ongoing discussion about who would fill out an Active Mt. Rushmore. 
We talk Bison. Because it's football season. We talk Fighting Hawks, Marauders, Dakota Wizards, and some BIG DUDES.
And rodeo keeps popping up. One North Dakotan made the National Finals Rodeo that runs two weeks starting early December! 

Here are some YouTube Videos we refer to during the conversation:

The Mt. Rushmore conversation is fun - we expand on it in Episode 9, limiting it to North Dakotans who are still playing or coaching. Tom has some off-the-radar additions that deserve lots more coverage. 
We also add some chatter about the Bison v Fighting Hawks rivalry, another coach or two we need to be following, and, of course, there are more North Dakotans doing remarkable things on the fields and ice!

We start with a few minutes on that Mr. Rushmore list we bantered about last episode. We might have come to some consensus. Tell us where we're wrong at [email protected]! We know we've missed some honorable mentions at least.
A little Bison/FightingHawks football follows (are the Bison too good?), then we get to some phenomenal stuff happening in the NHL with former UND players right up there among the league leaders in scoring and goals.
We wrap with a question about NFL bye weeks (we have a better way).

If you've listened a couple of times and think it's okay - give us a like and a follow!!

We start with UND/NDSU football, merge into a discussion we should all be having about the greatest ND athletes, yap a little about Carson Wentz and his role with the Vikings, and round out the show with some cool UND Hockey nuggets.
We also introduce a newbie (yet, a ND sportscasting veteran) to the show who immediately drew a flag for misinformation!! He made a nice recovery, so we'll keep him.

You've seen her on Fox Sports North and heard her regularly on KFAN radio - now, hear from North Dakota's own Marney Gellner as she chats with the guys about her journey from small town weekend sports anchor to the spotlight of the Twin Cities. There, she's shined as a host, play-by-play announcer, sideline reporter, and analyst for the Twins, Timberwolves, Lynx, and many other Minnesota sports teams. Last year, Marney became the first woman to ever announce play-by-play for a Twins series. 

Remember to send us emails about your North Dakota sports connections and memories! [email protected]

Carson Wentz a starter again?!! It's likely to happen. Mike and Scott lead Episode 5 with a conversation about Carson's potential impact on the Vikings and wrap it up with their favorite memories of the Bismarck native.
We also chat about a local legend who will be inducted to the National Rodeo Hall of Fame, and one of the bulls who helped get him there.

The stories in this episode are epic! From being picked last in a grade school football game (and the dummy who didn't pick him got called out!) to the play that could have led to making an NFL roster, you'll hear some fascinating and fun stories from Canadian Football Hall of Famer and Bismarck native Weston Dressler. He joins Mike and Scott for their first interview episode.
Join us for 50 minutes of fun!
(and we cannot overstate how impressive it is to make any hall of fame)
Also - we'd love to hear about your stories/memories of Weston or any other fun sports connections to North Dakota. Email us a [email protected].

Inspired by our first listener email, we dive into the prominent football coaches who got their start in North Dakota. Most of them emerging from The Program, NDSU. But all took different and impressive paths to the pros. 
Some names you'll recognize, and some names might just give you some more teams to pay attention to this season.
We also mention a campaign in Bismarck to erect a statue at the municipal baseball field honoring the great Satchel Paige, who pitched for the local team in the 1930s. It was his first experience playing with an integrated team in the United States.

Two players from NDSU were drafted into the NFL this April. They continue to build a legitimate pipeline of talent to the pros that got more and more surprising as we dug into it. More than we thought grew up in our state! Plus, a bit more hockey talk as a Bismarck native got drafted to an NHL team.
