Senior men's golfer Daniel Sayler joins the podcast just a day following UND announcing that it was reinstating the team after acquiring the necessary funding. Of course, we get into the decision to cut the program and how the process worked to get the support needed to save it. Daniel also discusses how that ordeal changed his perspective as a future alum. Lots of firsts for the guys on this one, though, like trying to keep up with a pre-med honors student, Teddy Bridgewater, state fair dodgeball, and the "speed" of the greens in Wishek, N.D., plus much more.

The fall season is upon us and we visit with volleyball coach Mark Pryor, who hosts the UND Classic this weekend, and soccer coach Matt Kellogg, whose team is unbeaten after opening weekend. Get the lowdown on each team, plus find out the strangest things a volleyball recruit has ever asked for, Pryor’s current go-to show on Netflix, best and worst movies on road trips, some George Carlin talk, favorite cereals, and much more. Don’t miss this snap-crackle-poppin’ episode!

The guys welcome Alex Heinert, the new television voice of UND Athletics for Midco Sports Network. They’ll chat about his start in broadcasting, failed catch phrases, dealing with fan criticism, his thoughts on UND football training camp and the season ahead, his unique seat for the now-infamous Sioux Falls upset of UND, his first impressions of Bubba Schweigert and Brad Berry, and even how a pickle(?) helped a 6-year-old Alex hone his craft. Mitch and Jayson also disclose their Top 5 Alexes of all time on the day Alex Rodriguez retired from baseball.

It's the annual football media day extravaganza. You'll hear from coaches, athletes and media alike in preview of UND foot all's opening practice. We cornered sophomore All-America running back John Santiago, head coach Bubba Schweigert, defensive line coach Jordan Gigli, wide receivers coach Danny Freund and Grand Forks Herald sports editor Wayne Nelson. Of course, you'll get all the Fighting Hawk talk and we throw in some Ryne Sandberg, dirt-track racing, tight end haircuts, potential position changes and many more fun topics during this free-for-all. You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo.

The guys celebrate a full year of sitting down and cheering by welcoming in Grand Forks radio legend Scott Swygman. "Swyg" tells us about his inauspicious start here in Grand Forks but how that led down the path to a broadcasting career and how his path to the UND radio booth started at a Twin Cities bowling alley. We reminisce about some of the broadcast partners he's had during his decades covering primarily UND football and basketball (among others) and get some good stories about Ed Schultz, Paul Ralston, Jim Bollman and a classic exchange with Coach Gene Roebuck that you'll want to hear. Of course, we ask him his opinion on the new logo/nickname (turns out he was a Sundogs guy, FYI).

It's been a busy summer so the podcast schedule has been a bit wonky. Jayson has a good excuse, though. Jayson and Mitch cornered Grand Forks Herald's Brad Schlossman and Tom Miller to rap about all the June/July news. We discuss Brad's Pulitzer, where he was when the new UND Fighting Hawks logo was unveiled, we recap the NHL draft, preview the upcoming UND football campaign and the guys argue about Pizza Corner (well, mostly Mitch does).

We're mobile once again as the guys head down to the Cities to catch a Minnesota Twins game and catch up with their president, UND alum Dave St. Peter. He was gracious enough to extend an offer to the UND men's hockey team to throw out the first pitch at a game and celebrate the team's recent NCAA Championship. He gets into how he's received some good-natured ribbing on social media for that, we get into how he got started in the business (following the same path as Jayson, actually) and we tackle a host of UND-related topics as well, to include: UND baseball, the rivalry with NDSU, the transition to a new logo and nickname and his role in that and how he foresees it playing out. We also take some time to reminisce about UND baseball and discuss our favorite moments and personalities from that program.

Fresh off of his first season as head coach of the Philadelphia Flyers, Dave Hakstol is back in Grand Forks and joins the guys to talk all things hockey. Hak tells us how long it took him to finally feel comfortable as an NHL head coach, why he constantly chirped his Philadelphia coaching staff, who he had the toughest time breaking the news to after he accepted the Flyers job, why he knew UND would beat Quinnipiac at the Frozen Four and the emotions he felt while watching it happen. He also reflects on past Frozen Four heartaches and reveals his go-to menu item at the Red Pepper. Mitch and Jayson also announce their next big guest at the end of the show. Give it a listen, otherwise you’ll get The Stare™.

The NFL Draft kicks off tonight and the guys sit down with UND draft hopeful Will Ratelle. They tackle a number of topics, including which teams have shown the most interest, the infamous Wonderlic Test, why his devotion to the Green Bay Packers hangs in the balance, which member of UND’s coaching staff he butted heads with the most, why he felt lost during the football program’s coaching change, and which teammate he owned every day in practice. They even put him on the spot about his better half, UND volleyball stud McKenzie Hart. Also, Joe Black’s co-owner and self-professed local NFL Draft expert Joe Schneider pops in for his first visit to talk about the incredible downtown atmosphere during the Frozen Four. We also learn that Haji is breaking up with his Miami Dolphins. Hint: it’s not them, it’s him (okay, it’s them).

We catch up with brand new Vancouver Canuck Troy Stecher, who takes us through the stresses and joys of the free agent process, why he ultimately picked Vancouver, why he chose finishing the semester over the AHL playoffs, which teammate he’ll miss the most, which teammate he’ll miss the least, why he cried in Brad Berry’s office last summer, the time he got mad at Cam Johnson, what was said in the team meeting prior to Matt Hrynkiw’s first career start, which class Dave Hakstol called the “dumbest he ever coached,” the NCHC player he hated to play against, Gino Gasparini’s inspirational speech to the team at the Frozen Four, and a whole bunch more.
