Henry Lake

Henry Lake and Lindsey Brown in studio for the Lake Show on a Thursday night. Henry chats with Daniel House to preview Gopher football’s matchup against the UCLA Bruins. Lindsey reads off some of Alex Ovechkin’s greatest accomplishments as part of This Day In Sports History before asking Henry a few questions for Around the NFL. We wrap the show with some findings from the Minnesota Truth Council.

Daniel House is the man behind Gophers Guru and the Lake Show’s official Gopher football correspondent. Henry and Daniel’s conversation starts with the oh so close loss last week to the Indiana Hoosiers. Daniel gives his breakdown before Henry asks what’s going on with Gopher QB Drake Lindsey. Henry thinks UCLA is one of the most improved programs in the country this year. Daniel previews the Bruins’ diverse offensive scheme, stalwart defense and how he thinks the game will shape up at Huntington Bank Stadium this Saturday. Henry also asks Daniel about which programs could be vying for PJ Fleck and the College Football Playoff rankings.

Henry Lake and Lindsey Brown in studio for the Lake Show on a Thursday night. Matthew Coller joins us to kick off the 7pm hour to talk about Carson Wentz being named QB1, the revocation of KOC’s “quarterback whisperer” accreditation and previews the Vikings MNF matchup against the Buffalo Bills. We play and discuss a snippet from Fox 9’s documentary series “Thin I.C.E.” about Operation Metro Surge and its impacts on our community. Henry also breaks down the Blue Tsunami from the local and national angles with Jeff Hayden.

Jeff Hayden is a political expert and former member of the Minnesota State Senate. He joins Henry today to break down the historic midterm election we experienced this week. Jeff says he knew something was up when Georgia’s senate seat was called as early as it was for Joe Osshof. Jeff speaks to the pickups in rural and non-metro communities and the everyday issues that Republican candidates all but eschewed in order to focus on fraud and tying it to the Somali community. Henry and Jeff give their thoughts on why Michele Tafayo and Lisa Demuth lost their races.

In their second segment, Henry and Jeff expand to the national angle.

Matthew Coller from Purple Insider joins the Lake Show every Thursday. Henry first asks for Matthew’s thoughts on the announcement of Carson Wentz being named as starting QB with Kyler Murray out with a hamstring issue. Matthew says that Carson Wentz isn’t the ultimate answer to the offensive struggles and points to the running game as an area that needs substantial improvement. Henry asks if KOC is still a “quarterback whisperer”. Coller points to indecision from QB’s under KOC as well as a lack of a running game to complement and take pressure off of the revolving door of dudes taking snaps under center. Henry and Matthew also discuss the snarly upcoming schedule for the Vikings and if their defense can withstand the challenges covering offenses from BUF, GB and SF.
