Presented by Buffalo Wild Wings!

Current Edmonton Oiler and former North Dakota great Drake Caggiula visits the show during his week in Grand Forks. Drake fills the guys in on life the NHL, what Leon Draisaitl told him that turned his rookie season around, riding shotgun with Connor McDavid, Frozen Four memories, the UND teammate he hated practicing against, the “crappy” way he found out Brad Berry was taking over the program, the first thing he does when he visits Grand Forks, Stephane Pattyn’s horrible motivational speeches, the legal acumen of new UND School of Law student Bryn Chyzyk, how Chyzyk MacGyvered a way for Caggiula to watch UND’s NCAA Tournament game last year, plus an update on Sal the Hockey Dad and tons more!

Part two of the football media day frenzy sees three coaches run the gamut with Mitch and special co/host Greg Enkers. Defensive backs coach Travis Stepps chats about the talented secondary, the impact of losing Deion Harris and how that affects that group and some guys that are stepping up in his absence. We also get both coordinators, getting insight from defensive coordinator Eric Schmidt who gets to try to scheme against the wide-open offenses in the Big Sky Conference. We discuss that and how the shuffling in the linebacking corps is looking heading into fall camp. Offensive coordinator Paul Rudolph has a host of weapons at his disposal including a pair of all-league running backs in John Santiago and Brady Oliveira. Add Austin Gordon and James Johannesson to the mix and UND has a backfield that will be the envy of every FCS program. How to get those guys touches and some creative play calling are discussed as well as how the steady play of the receiver group equals success, both for the team and starting QB Keaton Studsrud. Way more info in this episode here to attempt to satiate your off-season Fighting Hawk football appetite. Let's eat.

It's the third year for the football media day special and this year we bring you a two-part segment. This week, new Midco SN sideline reporter Greg Enkers sits in for Jayson and the guys breakdown the upcoming season, reflect on last year and tackle the storylines that have emerged as fall camp begins. They sit down with reigning Big Sky Defensive Player of the Year senior Cole Reyes, senior receiver De'Mun Mercer and junior running back Brady Oliveira. Part two next week with coaches includes Defensive Back Coach Travis Stepps, Offensive Coordinator Paul Rudolph and Defensive Coordinator Eric Schmidt.

It's with sadness that it takes him leaving for us to finally move him up the guest list, but former standout goalie/national champion/volunteer goalie coach Karl Goehring stops by for a goodbye pod as he's off to the Tampa Bay Lightning organization. The guys will talk about that move, some good Dean Blais moments, his favorite memories as a player, the mental aspect of the goalie position, his superstitions (maybe), what he thinks of mentees Aaron Dell, Zane McIntyre and Cam Johnson, and of course, Wes Dorey's twice-baked potatoes. And, was it really offside?

It's time to strap on the helmets and get geared up for football season. The guys corner the new running backs coach, Malcolm Agnew, to get his thoughts on the team and the North Dakota community thus far. We also chat about his experiences as a player, his TV debut at age 6, Nebraska football, his NFL aspirations cut short due to injury, his ties with Bubba Schweigert, Dale Lennon and especially Eric Schmidt, and how to attack the upcoming season with a full stable of talent in the backfield. Sharing the backfield is senior QB Keaton Studsrud, who reflects on last season's run to a Big Sky title, his experience at the recently-completed Manning Passing Academy, his deer-in-the-headlights moment as a freshman, his newly-tattooed friends and how Haj might have to join him now. It's a football fiesta.

Mitch and Jayson go back to school with popular UND sociology professor Frank White. The guys discuss the many issues facing today’s student and athlete, including race, politics, the use of performance-enhancing and recreational drugs, and the ever-changing classroom environment. Frank also talks about how sports led him directly into the teaching profession, his favorite athletics memories spanning 30-plus years at UND, why his sociology classes are so popular among athletes, the time Mike Commodore crashed a lecture with the Stanley Cup, and more! Do you know another professor who has his own bobblehead? We didn’t think so, so you better give this a listen.

Fresh off the school's first Big Sky Conference Tournament bid, UND head softball coach Jordan Stevens sits down with the guys to discuss the season and a whole range of topics including: an outstanding year from Kaylin VanDomelen, the wait-and-see game that took place this fall with the budget cuts, what he learned from Bubba Schweigert and the football staff, the importance of the dinger, superstitious vehicles, dirt/turf debate, an inside look at scheduling, the importance of an increased fan base and support for the program and much more. The knuckleheads also share their top five baseball movies, as if anyone cares what happens in their real lives. Also, Folske screwed up punching the red button again.

We welcome UND’s 2016-17 Male and Female Athletes of the Year, Quinton Hooker and Sydney Griffin, to talk about a historic year for the Fighting Hawks. Quinton talks to us about pursuing his NBA dream, how the men’s basketball program evolved during his time at UND, what had been missing from the program, his favorite Brian Jones outbursts, which of his assistant coaches was the most intense, and what it’s been like seeing his peers lose their programs due to budget cuts. Sydney discusses being named Big Sky Conference Volleyball MVP, leading the program to its first NCAA Division I Tournament, the time head coach Mark Pryor angered the entire team (and it worked), how the team will deal with having a target on its back next season, and much more. A fun pod with two of our finest Fighting Hawks!

The Brock Star is back at UND finishing out the semester and the guys fished him out of the hot tub to chat about a number of topics, including: his whirlwind debut week with the Vancouver Canucks; the gesture by the Sedins that meant the world to him; reuniting with Troy Stecher; the injury that plagued him throughout his final season at UND; the unexpected hockey lessons he learned as a sophomore; Fighting Hawks to watch for next year; the UND teammate he misses the least; what went into his decision to de-commit from Wisconsin and commit to UND; why he never wavered on coming to UND after Dave Hakstol left for the NHL; who he was happiest for after winning the NCAA championship; making Paul LaDue nervous; offside reviews, and much more!

North Dakota Fighting Hawk-turned-Colorado Avalanche Tyson Jost is back on campus to finish out the semester and sat down the guys to discuss his whirlwind year. He tells us why it’s so hard for him to talk about Canada’s World Junior loss, how he handled the intense spotlight north of the border, what Grandpa Jost is really like, what went into his decision to turn pro, which UND teammates he had the toughest time telling, what it was like play with Rocco Grimaldi and against Jonathan Toews, why he was ticked off at Nick Schmaltz, the advice he got from Jarome Iginla as a kid, why he wants to serve as a Canadian spokesman for NCAA hockey, the two returning UND players who could surprise fans next year, awful nicknames, was it offside or not, and much more.
