Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
A party on Friday, Parker, What happens if JJ McCarthy's
ankle just isn't quite ready to go, and the head coach,
Kevin O'Connell says, well, we got to stay committed to
the plan. So until the kid's ankle feels good, until
he's practicing all week in earnest number one reps, we're
not going to put him in now. Then knock on

(00:23):
that this doesn't happen. If JJ is not ready to go,
what's up with the non throwing shoulder of mister Carson Wentz.
That's my question. He got hurt in London, he got
hurt real bad. How bad is it? What if please
don't happens? If what if Buffalo Wild Wings on Friday
morning Monticello lead into a game against the Eagles, the

(00:47):
Eagles who have a right to get right after losing
too in a row Saquon Barkley against a Vikings defense
that has conceded some yards on the ground. We'll say,
in the absence of Andrew Van Kinkle, maybe in the
absence of Harrison Phillips and Jonathan Bullard, fat guys in
the middle. What if it's Max Brosmer, make it his
first career start that Garrosel continues unbelievable. He was part

(01:13):
of the homecoming festivities over the weekend. I think there's
a little buzz Number twelve was was there on site
on scene. What if Brozmer gets to start on Sunday, Well, yeah,
I have to say it. I don't. I don't want
it to happen, but it might given this injury situation.
You know, obviously we wish Carson the best.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
He's who I feel most comfortable under center going into
this this Eagles game. An egos team that's motivated. They're
going to come out, They're going to play their tails off.
They need one, they need one bad. Obviously we are
in a good position getting one on our.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Little trip there.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Well obviously two would have been great, but but to
get one was important. I heard Bursich say the difference
of making the playoffs from three and two versus two
and three is twenty eight percent difference. So you know,
whatever you want to qualify, but yeah, that would be unbelievable.
Max Rose Guy I got to spend a little bit
of time with him on the field on homecoming, just
chatting with him. Quickly shared some PA stories with me.

(02:07):
He's he comes up to me, goes, does Pa ever
just like rub your arm? And I was like, well,
he does more than just rub your arm. He does
some other stuff too. He's he's Pa, man, you never
know what you're gonna get. And I was like, I
was like, yeah, of course he just comes in. He
does a lot of weird stuff. And he goes, yeah,
that was weird.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Man.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
I thought that was weird. And I was like, well,
that's uh, that's Paul Allen for you. But but yeah,
the voice of the like and this is Brosmer and this. Yeah,
so they got they spend some extra time in London,
doubling the whole deal, kind of hanging out him and Pa. Max,
Brosmer and Pa got to hang out a little bit
and so we got to share some some fun stories
from that. Briefly, you know, he's a busy guy, Yeah,

(02:43):
trying to watch the game, the whole deal.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
But what a what a good dude.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
I think the the hometown connection, it's just such a
cool story, right, Like to be able to play for
for the Vikes but also be in Minneapolis, come and
mentor a guy like Drake Lindsay who you're passing the
Ton to the kid who's probably when you look at
just the stature of the human, he's more poised for
that position. You know, six' five, whatever two thirty. Whatever

(03:10):
he is just like big, boy ready to be the
college football, quarterback the whole. Deal but you get to
pass down all this knowledge to. Him SO i think
just a just a unique position to be. In BUT
i really enjoy Him. Max, obviously he's a guy THAT i.
WAS i was hoping The vikings would keep. Around they
do really thinks the game at a high, level And
i'm excited to see what's going to Happen. Sunday OBVIOUSLY

(03:31):
i would Love carson underneath the, center but But max
would be ready for it.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Too, YEAH i don't know why that popped in my.
HEAD i love, It but there's part of ME i
think there's a non zero Chance i'm just thirty percent
out there because it's been CARSONER, jj CARSONER, jj and
it just it kind of hits me that shoulder thing,
sucked AND i just need to know where he's. AT
i want to know where the kid QB's, at And

(03:54):
Max brosmer he's also. Available he's the HEALTHIEST qb on
the roster right, now it appears and, roll so we
shall see gopher hoops in the mix and a little,
birdie well not a little. Birdie you're like six seven
or six. Eight you told me that you're doing some sideline.
Work is that? Accurate?

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah, Yeah so a new kind of change this. Year
in the, past you couldn't play exhibition games Against division,
one so we would always, have you, Know hamlin Or Midgie, State,
Concordy Saint, paul one of the LOCAL d TWO d
three teams come in and play an exhibition. Game, well
now this year you can play exhibition games Against division one,
teams so that kind of takes. Away we would always

(04:30):
have this super secret scrimmage and their stats would always
come out the whole. Deal but this year it's it's
televised On big Ten. Plus fans get to come the whole.
Deal so we Got North Dakota state In Williams arena
On october sixteenth and The university Of North dakota In
Williams arena On, Saturday actober twenty, fifth AND i have

(04:51):
the opportunity to do some, analysts some sideline stuff With
big Ten. Plus So i'm super fired, up, obviously it's
a whole new. Roster only two guys retain from last year's.
Roster BUT i have some familiarity with the opposing, teams the,
coaches And i'm excited to see What gopher basketball is
going to look like underneath head Coach Nico.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Medved, well, Yeah I've i've heard. HIM i heard him
and his welcome pressor and things like, that and just
kind OF i want to learn more About. Nico and
he's got The minnesota, CONNECTIONS i Think, roseville BUT i
got to hear him just from a more casual. Standpoint
he was in last week to do the initial scamp
AND i had SOME i had some time, off SO
i WAS i was listening to most of, it AND
i just what is what is the expectation now Post?

(05:34):
Ben and best of luck To ben's not about ragging On,
ben but you MENTIONED i, mean whether it's it's the
roster turnover and just kind of how things how things
were left When ben. Left you, Know nico has some
challenges in front of him to put his stamp on
this thing and build it back. Up so so what
WHAT i mean this is kind of revisionist because we
probably talked about this When nico first. Came but what

(05:56):
do you like About nico and and just what what
kind of optimism is popping a in your head in
terms of go for football or go for basketball? Program excuse?
Me taking steps? Forward?

Speaker 2 (06:05):
YEAH i think the first thing is you have to
find a way to build a, culture. Right and that's
even harder now that nil is a thing and you
have kids coming in and out every single. Year it's
almost like a free agency. Market so how do you
build a? Culture, well that's built every single day in your, habits.
Right so that's called recruiting, Character recruiting guys that are
proud to be At, minnesota to wear The minnesota across the.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Chest finding local.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
GUYS a kid In centered homes From eastridge coming next,
year he's a. Stud you have to find ways to
keep These minnesota kids. Home something we talked That Richard
patino struggled with a little bit in his. Tenure but for,
me you look at a coach In Nico medved who's
done it. Right he was At Colorado, state made the
tournament last, year was a buzzer beater away from being

(06:49):
in the sweet sixteen after lost To. Maryland he's a
guy that's been around the state Of, minnesota knows how
to recruit, it and he's also got a lot of
help with his. Assistants Dave thorson wanted to Highlight minnesota
guy de la cell. Legend, yeah he's, obviously you, know
tremendous in what he. Does but when you talk about
a basketball kind of, Standpoint nico's got a really fun thing.

(07:10):
Going they love to move the, ball they love to,
cut they love to utilize their bigs outside on the,
perimeter not really shooting the, ball but to keep it,
alive keep it. MOVING i think that's something That gopher
fans were a little frustrated in the, past especially at my,
time with some of the ball movement and some of
the stagnicity of. Offense AND i Think nico has a
really good plan to keep that thing. Moving and then,

(07:31):
defensively they're going to play their tail. Off they're going
to do all the little things. Defensively some super. Excited
we got three days and seven hours Until thursday at
seven pm where we get to See gopher basketball Back Williams,
arena and it's.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Crazy it's already. Here. Nordo, yeah that's that's super. Cool is?
It in some? WAYS i, mean because you mentioned the
portal and new. FACES i, mean this is something that
every program has to deal, with right and some just
in the, end whether it's building culture and also just winning.
Games some are better at it than. Others but in
some way is there a nature just What nico. DID

(08:03):
i mean the track, record the equity and the experience
is kind of maybe the biggest change to What Ben
johnson did or wasn't able to accomplish in the, end big,
spot first job For Ben. Johnson there are ups and
downs across the board with, it they make a decision
to move. On and it is indeed maybe the cachet
and the experience of a medved that lends to the

(08:26):
idea that navigating some of those challenges will be more
fruitful or he'll find more fruit of his labor.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Here well that's the, difference right Is nico comes in
and and he brings probably six seven staff members with,
him and and there's people that know what he. Does
he brings a player In Jalen Crocker johnson with him
who was a really solid player for him last. Year
so Now jalen knows how to spread kind of the,
lingo you, know the verbiage that a coach uses to his,

(08:53):
teammates so he can be an extension of the head
coach on the basketball. Floor but beyond, that you're only
on the basketball floor for for so many hours of the.
Day there's so many things that take place in recruiting
and communication and setting up practice schedules and all of.
This where he's had this group that's worked with, him
they know how to work, together versus where Coach johnson
comes in and he's, hiring you, know outside, staff he's

(09:16):
bringing new people in. There there's just there's new faces
the whole. Difference SO i think that's something that that
does give Coach medveda a leg up in his first.
Year but now you got to go out and prove
it on the basketball court right. Now you got to
go find ways to win basketball. Games and that's something
that's difficult in, itself especially when you look across The Big.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Ten is how good some of these teams.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Are we're going to, see you, KNOW i think there's
four teams in the top Ten Ken palm to start
the year With, Purdue, MICHIGAN, Ucla wisconsin's right. There so
you talk, about you, know just the difficulty of The
Big ten, schedule where are wins to be?

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Found that's hard in, itself SO.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
I think you got to you, know we always talk
about you gotta protect home court and you gotta find
ways to sneak a couple on the. Road And medved
he's he's going to have those guys ready to rock and.
Roll And i'm excited to see what they look like
this new brand Of gopher. Basketball, Thursday october, sixteenth three,
days three days.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Away, yeah that's that's. Sweet and you, know it's kind
of interesting how the conference has changed and looks, different
of course from a football, landscape but it. DOESN'T i,
mean it's still kind of the, familiar the familiar names
atop The Big ten from a hoops, standpoint Like oregon's,
like you, know weird dunks after, dark like they're going
to be in the, mix it. Appears AND ucla can,

(10:32):
ball although they're always up and. Down it ain't like
the glory days WITH ucla these. Days but other than,
THAT i still got to worry About. MICHIGAN i still
got to worry About zo's. Team maryland finds their way
year in year. Out, sadly The badgers hoops team has
not suffered the same fate of their current football, team
so it's still kind of you, know usual, suspects so to,

(10:53):
speak Within Big ten. Hoops, yeah it definitely.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
IS i think when you look at the top of
The Big ten this, year you go directly to produce
terrific coach And Matt. Painter they have A National player
of The year caliber guy at their point guard position
In Braden, smith and then who was good last.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Year, yeah, unbelievable so.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Cool you talk about a produde, team and then they
add a kid An Oscar cliff From South Dakota state
who averaged twenty five and twelve.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Games so you just get deeper in this transfer.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Portal and when you have the nil money to throw at,
kids that helps you go down the. Line michigan's going
to be, Good illinois is going to be, Good oregon's
going to be good this new, team And iowa was
going to be pretty good underneath head Coach ben. McCullum
they bring in Another National player of The year type
of caliber kid And Bennett.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Sturtz so it's it's really, Difficult.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Nordo and then you add that on top of the
fact that so many of these teams are historic programs
and they have historic, culture and fans are there sixty
minutes before, games and they're, organizing they're, choreographed and the whole.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Deal to be able to go past.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
That is extremely difficult in, itself but it's a day
to day. Process So i'm excited to see what that
process looks like for The gophers moving.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Forward last thing for, YOU i remember this from From
nico on The power. TRIP i forget who asked, him
but it. IS i assume it's part of the, conversation
like renovating the, barn LIKE i, like it seems like
the way that it was, discussed And nico ultimately kind
of noted that the barn is an. Asset players want
to play at the, barn loved, it and you, know

(12:21):
part of that let's let's win some games and fill
up the. BARN i, think you, know one maybe leads
to the. Other but kind of the idea like the barn's,
old is there an aspect of that where it's it
just needs it needs a maybe a massive freaking. Facelift
IT'S i, KNOW i, know it's. Old it's JUST I
i always thought of the barn as like a cool
historical asset among venues in college. Hoops and maybe it's

(12:45):
not seene like that by, everybody but but the new coach,
said players want to play. There it's a cool. SPOT
i think it's, terrific but maybe it just, no let's
let's freshen this thing up a little.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Bit, yeah you new code of paint and it's. FINE
i think we're two years away from being one hundred years.
Old so you talk about a, landmark you talk about
a historic place that has had a lot of basketball
played in. It and, then oddly, enough you ask some
of these guys outside Of minnesota teams in The Big,
ten where's your favorite place to say? PLAY a lot
of them will Say Williams. ARENA i Remember Zach edy
saying The barn was his favorite place to. Play it

(13:16):
has kind of a stage like. Feel you're kind of
you're raised up in front of other people and and
now you're right like the visitors locker room is.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Terrible everywhere else we.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Go in The Big ten you have these, nice big
locker rooms and the whole. Deal AND i don't even
know if there's ac in. Theres it's just. Hot there's
there's cockroaches down. THERE i could tell these stories.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
For days about, yeah come out, Right, yeah no. Doubt
BUT i THINK i think it is an Advantage AND
i think for me, PERSONALLY i speak for, myself but
growing up and going to games Inside Williams, arena you
see how special it is and the fact THAT i
got to run up those stairs and be introduced as
a starter for The gophers was something THAT i would

(13:54):
never give away for. Anything SO i, think you, KNOW
i speak personally from that. STANDPOINT i don't know if
a kid from la is going to see it the
same WAY i see it as a as a local.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
Kid but who. Knows BUT i think you have to
find ways to take advantage of. That and what does
that look. LIKE i don't, know But, i'm LIKE i,
Said i'm excited to see what that looks like For gopher.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
Hoops, hey thanks for hanging out in studio and co
hosting THE pj segment and have fun with this this sideline,
analysis sideline reporting gig WITH BTN btm.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Plus YEAH btm plus for the first two go for
basketball and then we'll see where all that.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
Goes some fun stuff on the. Horizon, nordo that's, badass
That's Parker fox At Parker fox two four via x
weekly guest night to. Noon you can also hear him
On wednesdays with The Power Trip Morning, show and usually
if he's got, time he even hangs out in chats With,
pa who is very affectionate with his, hands as we
learned from From Max. Brozmer during the trip, overseas it's

(14:52):
nine to, noon final, hour a couple of segments that
left to, go we'll be back next and to noon
It's nordo in For. Pa he's kind of. Following got
this from the text Line signetti that At indiana, coach
he coached at pitt and Under saban At. Alabama he
is A pennsylvania. Native That's bruce texting and maybe that's the.

(15:14):
Answer he, says Penn state may roll out The brinks
truck for. Him, well how much money do they have?
Left and that's a that's a dumb. QUESTION i know
this because they have plenty of. CASH i know, this
but having to pay you fire a, guy we don't
want you around. Anymore you gotta. Go but these buyout
the buyout aspects of a, contract you just don't want them.

(15:37):
AROUND i, mean that's a little bit of potentially protection
for the. Coach Is i've established myself THROUGH i think
it was twelve full, seasons maybe this was his, thirteenth
somewhere in that Range franklin At Penn. State so the
second or third contract is going to be where the
fat buyout is protection for the. Coach if you don't

(15:58):
want me, around that's, fine but it's going to. Hurt
it's going to hurt a. Lot nearly fifty million dollars
Headed James franklin's. Way northwestern, unbelievable known more for their
academics than their, athletics at least, football and they got
a guy. Fired it's. Crazy, Baseball, brad we were kind

(16:19):
of cut off during news To noord AND i just, wonder,
again you're A braves. Fan it's just kind of a
weird thing In. Iowa you're Wearing braves, gear you Got packers,
gear you have a family connection To. MADISON i don't,
know it's Weird. Iowa it's just. Weird but the state

(16:40):
of The Minnesota twins has kind of stolen the spirit
a bit for me from baseball. Season but, meanwhile loving
absolutely loving the games that we're watching now and loving
to SEE i think, again Cal rawley hit a home.
RUN i forget what the final score was and find that. Momentarily,
yeah it was three to one last, night but But

(17:00):
seattle goes up one, nothing you can't be rooting for
THE i, MEAN i WANT i Want seattle to. Win,
selfishly Cal roley is a fun player to. Watch The
mariners They're they're a fun group of players to appreciate
from a baseball, perspective but at a base. Level, SELFISHLY
i just want to Have softy From seattle on later
this week to talk about His mariners potentially going to

(17:23):
The World. Series, PLUS i stumbled upon this BECAUSE i
was trying to remind MYSELF i was. YOUNG i don't
think you were alive when The Blue jays won back
to Back World series early, nineties ninety two ninety, THREE
a thingk right after The twins negative. Three, yeah so you.
Weren't you Weren't you weren't with us quite. Yet BUT
i was just trying to remind myself Of Joe, Carter John.

(17:45):
OLERUD i don't know if you remember this name or,
not But John OLERUD i think he played first base
for The Blue jays in the, nineties and he always
wore the plastic. HELMET i think he had a head,
issue like something, awful like a like a, brain like
a specific like a. Brain i'm just gonna say. ANEURISM
i think that's actually. RIGHT i think it was a
brain aneurysm of some. Sort but he wore like this plastic.

(18:08):
Helmet BUT i was just kind of, like who are
some Great Blue Jays AND i, know you Know Roberto
alomars in the. MIX i, remember you, Know Carlos, Delgado Jose,
bautista the bat. Flips but then it kind of stumbled
upon me before and again it's just like how this
comes back to my favorite, team the sourness THAT i

(18:29):
have over The Minnesota, twins stealing the spirit of the baseball. Playoffs,
meanwhile love seeing The, mariners the chance they have to
get past The, jays loves seeing the brew, crew no
animosity towards The Milwaukee. Brewers if they're able to take
down SHOW a and The, dodgers that'd be Sweet game ones.
Tonight but they're. Fifteenth this is according to bluebird banter dot,

(18:54):
com number fifteen all, time sixty all time Greatest Blue
Jays twins fans remember the beauty and the brilliance Of Josh.
DONALDSON i don't know HOW i forgot that he. Was

(19:14):
he was with your squad prior to prior to joining The.
Twins he was In atlanta a good season by all,
ACCOUNTS i, think at least from a power. Perspective never
been one to hit you, know high three or even
low three hundreds from a batting, perspective did it early
in his. CAREER i JUST i don't know WHY i don't.
Remember and that's stupid on my, part by the, way

(19:34):
because now As i'm looking through, THIS i definitely. Remember
but it's almost LIKE i just, Skipped LIKE i pictured
him playing for The a's earlier in his career and
that's where he started, smashing and THEN i remember just
this weird. STINT i think it would have been he
was with The tribe and then and Then, atlanta and
then he came To, minnesota and suddenly This calf thing
was just a complete. DISASTER i, mean look at that

(19:57):
unbelievable high ops smashing home runs in his two seasons
oh two forty, three barely get on the freaking. Field
just absolutely. Disastrous so that's why there we, go Go.
Mariners i've found a third. Reason cool. Team softy From
seattle And Josh donaldson is one of the Best Blue

(20:18):
jays players according to some random list love lists not In,
october but generally we love list more of a summertime.
Thing Josh donaldson considered one of the Greatest Blue jays
of all time than just one of many just guffaw nie,
slapping then heads, scratching personnel, decisions moves and results in
