You're in the Golden Gopher old school basketball sweatshirt.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
I love it.
Speaker 6 (01:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Now Mark Parrish back there went to Saint Cloud State
mostly hates the University of Milniesoda because because the University
of Minnesota did not recruit him, and he's been better
about it for about forty years for hock for hockey.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Yeah, yeah, basketball, I've been quite up to standards.
Speaker 7 (01:19):
Yeah, neither me or Matt Collen were Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yeah, you know you have to live with that.
Speaker 8 (01:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right, You're right, they do.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Uh no.
Speaker 8 (01:30):
But but that being said, I'm married a Gopher and yeah,
so that's somebody want to report that Ed.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Jean it wasn't dead.
Speaker 8 (01:42):
Well, well there's that.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
So on March twenty.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Fourth of this year, you got hired at the University
of Minnesota, right, that's right. March twenty fifth, did you
petition to the NCAA to have Parker Fox have a
sixteenth year of eligibility?
Speaker 5 (01:59):
Did you try to get him back? He would have
been probably sixteen. What is funny is one of the
texts I got early this morning was Parker trying to
give me advice on the Initials game. If you know Parker,
You're like, Okay, do I take the advice or I
like the George Costanza Do I just do the opposite?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Told me. Yeah, so that's what I'm trying to figure out.
Dude's the best man. We love that kid.
Speaker 7 (02:25):
Yeah, great, that's an awesome.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
Did you get any other text about today? You get
a few, you know, random ones or whatever like that.
But I'm just the one thing I've learned. I think
you guys, Marnie and then Lieber kind of. I was
at event the other night and they were telling me
about this, and I'm learning, like, well, we have to
do it sometime. I didn't realize it would be today.
The one thing that gives me hope is Lieber said,
the bar has been set pretty low, So you come
(02:50):
in with low expectations here, you know, maybe you can
exceed those.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
We'll see.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
That's exactly right, been my trick. Yeah right, yeah, that's
exactly right. Roseville Area High School in nineteen nine to graduate.
Speaker 8 (03:00):
How was that?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
It was awesome Roseville.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
It was the old Ramsey and Kellogg and I went
there the first year that it became Roseville. And my
parents still live in the house that I grew up
in in Roseville. And I've got a brother, two brothers
that are out that way, and so yeah, that's my
roots and it's pretty cool. Thinking that I worked now
fifteen minutes from where I grew up.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Were you still in the Roseville area in like nineteen
ninety eight or ninety nine ish?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Or where were you close?
Speaker 5 (03:28):
So let me think ninety eight? Yeah, right about then
I finished at the U. I was coaching at McAllister
College here and it was probably right before I went
down to Furman. First my first du one assistant, jop So,
right there in that wheelhouse. Wo.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Why? The only reason I asked because I worked at
the Roseville best Buy around then.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Yeah, I'm just curious. I ever sold you like a
candlebox CD or something?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:50):
You know, it's really funny, Like when I moved home,
I've got like this, these boxes that are still in
my parents I was think one of them is just
a big box full of you know, old CDs.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Be super fun to go through those. What are you
doing with them? We've talked about by I don't have
a saved player and you play them? Are they worth anything?
I don't think so? But what are like? Records are
worth something? Now? Aren't they like kind of you know,
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (04:13):
Cassettes are making a comeback right now? Maybe at some
point too.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I still don't know who has cassette players, who has
and mom both yet now, But the turntables are still
kind of cool. I guess I wish I was good
at that.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
Yeah, you you were a letter winner in basketball and golf.
Were you a good golfer? Are you still a good golfer?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Oh? Man, that kind of depends. I said, yes.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
My golf game's taking a real hit this summer. I
guess my job's kind of gotten in the way of
that a little bit. But I do enjoy golf. It's fun.
It's a great way to connect with people. I lived
out a golf community out in Colorado, and so no,
I've enjoyed it. I've enjoyed getting around a lot of
the courses here. There's great golf in the Twin Cities, man,
So it's been really fun just getting to connect with people,
(04:56):
getting out and playing golf. Hopefully a little bit more
next summer. But I do enjoy the game, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Nico.
Speaker 9 (05:02):
You are a well dressed man, and you're coming coming in.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
You're the only one I'm gonna like, Yeah with your
Gopher hoodie.
Speaker 8 (05:12):
You got your.
Speaker 9 (05:14):
Gopher Jordan's Yeah, even your Yettie cup is I do.
And coaches are notorious, especially in college. You have the
whole wardrobe, Like you must have three hundred pieces of
Gopher clothing right now, but before that you had Colorado
State clothing, and you had firm and clothing. And how
do you transition from one school to another with three
(05:36):
hundred pieces of clothing that you built up over your
time at that school and.
Speaker 7 (05:41):
How you built at the wardrobe?
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Well it's not just the wardrobe, but then you change
like brands, you know, like under Armour to Nike, and
you know you've got all those things and these are
first world problems now that you're dealing with. But I
always try to save a little something from each school
that I still have, just kind of to remember it by.
But well I try to give it away to the
next staff, goodwill, relatives, you name it. But I still
(06:06):
do have a bunch of CSU gear. But yeah, I'm
fine with the Goper gear. I got a lot of
good Gofer gear, so I'm ready to roll. Actually, yeah,
there is some I don't know that if I busted
it out, well it might look like the speacher you
got today, Martie. Actually, but I do have some stuff, yeah,
from back in the day, so I.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Never thought of that.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
That's that's something that some people need to think of
moving forward. If you're dropping off a whole bunch of
Colorado State stuff at a good will, you got to
send somebody else.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
It can't be looking at former just moving on and
just just garbage bags filled before.
Speaker 8 (06:42):
He announces he's leaving, exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
You can't do that. Send somebody else, your neighbor.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
It's true in this particular case, though, Man, I love
Colorado State.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Those people are so awesome to me.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
So it was it was a really amicable situation, you
know that way.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
So I have nothing but love.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
I think there's nothing but love for us and my assistant,
you know, Ali got the job, so it's it's it's
a cool, cool deal. And I still have CSU Gear
I always will.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
Can I ask you an impossible question and I'm putting
you into bet so what I'm sorry I have to
ask how message I don't know how to ask this
without it sounding weird. How much of a step up
is the University of Minnesota from Colorado State? I mean,
why would you leave Colorado State to come to Minnesota?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Oh boy, wow, we're getting deep here already. This morning.
Speaker 8 (07:26):
I'm a novice when it comes to college wardrobe.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
Listen, all these situations are are are different. I mean again,
I did love it there. We've been there for a
long time. They took great, great care of us. But listen,
I mean this is the Big Ten. I mean, you
follow college athletics here in the way that this is going.
I mean, this is the the peak of college athletics.
I think the Big Ten and the SEC are obviously
at the forefront of what's happened, and I believe what's
(07:50):
going to happen here in the next five to ten
years and college athletics. I think it's a great time
to be at the University of Minnesota. I think it's
a great time to be the Beast coach at Minnesota.
We got a lot of work to do, but I
think timing matters. Obviously, this is my fourth head coaching job.
This is the third place I've been an assistant before,
so I think you kind of have a feel for
(08:11):
the place a little bit. Remember when I was here
and Coach Askins was the coach, This place was hum
and it was the Vikings and I think the second
hottest take it in town was Gopher hoops and so
maybe for me, I kind of have a different vision
maybe than most and so that that's that's why I
do it. And it is a step up, you know,
resources all of it, and so I'm excited about it.
(08:34):
Was just it was the right time and the right
situation for me.
Speaker 8 (08:37):
Is the Barn a positive or a negative?
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (08:42):
You know what's interesting is players love playing there. I mean,
it was us at a recruiting disadvantage, not it, not
at all. I mean so many players that have played there,
and even teams that I had taken to the Barn,
they said that's one of their favorite places to play.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
You know, does it need some TLC?
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Yes, I mean I think there's probably you know, in
the next ten to fifteen years, are there some decisions
that need to be made just simply because it's so old.
Is it a major renovation or or whatever?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
It is?
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Probably, But listen, one thing about the Barn. If it's
full and there's a big crowd, it's not a disadvantage
for us. Let's put it that way. It's a great
home court.
Speaker 8 (09:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I think the portal's been good or bad for go
for basketball. As you've watched from Afar, these last handful
of years, and how do you change it moving forward.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
I can't speak to the last few years. You know,
we'll find out this year right soon enough if it's
been good.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
But it is what it is.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
I mean, everything has changed in college athletics. I think
you've got the portal. I still think, you know, you
have to recruit the same kinds of people that you
always have that have allowed you to be successful. You've
got the portal, You've got name, image and likeness, You've
got all those other things that you're trying to, you know,
to combine and put a compelling case together to get
the kind of players and talent you need to be successful.
(09:59):
So think we've taken a big step forward that way.
We need to keep moving in the right direction. But
I think there's a lot of possibilities with the transfer
portal here at Minnesota, and so again, I think we
got a great cell here and I'm excited about it.
Speaker 10 (10:12):
I think you're going to do outstanding. What's the best
golf course you've played in anywhere?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Anywhere? Gosh, that's so hard. Are you are you? Are
you a golfer? Yeah, I'm not very good, but I
played for the same reason you do.
Speaker 10 (10:26):
There's people I would never be able to hang out
with if I couldn't play golf. Yeah, Paris should never
hang out with me if I couldn't play golf.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
I mean, there's so many great courses that you've played,
and probably ones you've never heard of. I tell you what, Like,
one of my favorite places in weird ways is Kiawa Island,
and I love the Ocean course And it's not like
the course that's the you know, people would like other
courses as far as the Pearst and maybe I do
as far as playing every day, but just the few
times that I've been out there, just the vibe is
(10:55):
pretty is pretty awesome. But I've been fortunate to play
a lot of great plays. One trip I have not
made is like the Pebble Beach all that stuff out there,
which I would which I would love to do. But
I'm telling you, the Twin Cities has great courses. I mean,
there are so many terrific places to play.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Right here?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Have you?
Speaker 3 (11:11):
For Shared Windows? Going to answer that.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
For for those of us that didn't watch Colorado State?
What is a what does a Nico Medved offense look like?
What is a what is a Gopher team gonna look
like under you well, hopefully one that scores more than
our opponent.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
For you know, I I think if people had watched
us play, I think we kind of had a reputation
for being good that way. I think our teams have
always really shared and moved the ball. We've been fairly innovative.
You know, our teams have always been among the leaders
in the country and assist to field goals made two
point field goal percentage. Does that mean that translates right
(11:50):
away here?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I don't. I don't know that you can say that.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
But I think we've played a great system and a
great style, and you know what, I've been fortunate to have,
you know, three straight guys who've had has to play
here at the next level. And as I've gotten around
and met a lot of the NBA guys, I think
that they've really enjoyed watching our teams and have said, hey,
we really like how you guys play, and and so
I I think it's a cool way to play, and
(12:14):
I think our guys like it.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
And that's something that we have to bring here to Minnesota.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
And we got to recruit the right way to to
get guys that that fit the way that we want
to do it.
Speaker 8 (12:23):
I'm sorry, I was just saying, Marnia text.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Was a question. Yeah, actually it was. Yeah, we're talking.
Speaker 9 (12:30):
About Nico Medved, the head men's basketball coach of the
University of Minnesota. It says, well, you please reintroduce him,
question Mark, you're.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Going to ask a question? Yeah, and so I me
to do that.
Speaker 8 (12:42):
Yeah. Well, I just I'm trying to be a pro
for once.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
I'm trying to be I wanted to like me, so
I'm trying.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I like you already, aren't you a Bell Bank Championship?
Is that right? Well? There you go. I love those guys, like,
those guys are awesome. Ce. I know my I know
my deal.
Speaker 8 (13:00):
I'm going to write your check for NIL before you leave.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
That's how much it's already worked a trip, telling you
it's already worth a trip here.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
Yeah, just fifteen dollars is going to help.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Well, that would have got us Parker Fox back right.
Ye see, I got to see how I just dug
that in there right now?
Speaker 9 (13:16):
And Parker, Yeah, I actually do have a question about
NIL because it has changed the landscape of college sports,
not just basketball, college sports as we know it. But
we are on the outside, and we think, we know
it would be hard to get that quarterback because he
needs two mill to.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Go to whatever school.
Speaker 9 (13:35):
As somebody who sees it on the inside, what are
things about the about nil and just its existence that
we would never even think of, or that has changed
your life and the way you do your job in ways.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
That you never even anticipated.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Well, I mean the guy with you so many different
directions with that. I mean the one thing I think
for people who don't understand it, you just look at
the amount of money right now that college athletics is making.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Look at the Big ten.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
I mean, all these schools are going to and north
of sixty million dollars a year just simply in TV revenue,
and so the revenue streams are getting bigger and bigger
simply really because of television primarily. So yeah, players look
at that, and it is they They do need to
be involved, you know, the ones who generate that kind
of revenue. So I'm a proponent of it. You know,
how we're doing it right now is not working. We're
(14:20):
probably in this ten year window, I believe of kind
of where we started three or four years ago, but
we're still four or five years away from really finding
you know what this is going to look like. I
think the one thing for young people, as I've really
tried to help them, as young people who now have
a lot of money, they have you know, target on
(14:41):
their back, they have different kinds of pressures and things
that probably they're not emotionally ready to handle yet or
probably don't quite understand, and so just really trying to
help them navigate those kinds of things. So, you know,
there's been some situations already that young people have had
to deal with that probably five years ago they didn't
have to deal with. So I think that world has changed.
(15:01):
But man, I haven't changed it all. I coach these
guys not not at all, but probably their world has
changed a lot, and so I think you just really
have to be mindful of that.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yeah, we've heard that a lot right in the past.
If you if you signed up for a school and
then realize pretty quickly you weren't going to get playing time. Now,
these kids have one eye on the door, right like,
if I'm not going to play here, I'm going to
go somewhere else. But like you said, if the guys
at the end of the bench, that's not something you
can necessarily worry about anyway. If he's gonna go, he's
gonna go.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Yeah, I mean, and listen, I don't blame somebody if
they want an opportunity to play and to do that,
I don't. I don't fault somebody for that. And you know,
sometimes it does make sense. But you know what, I
also think you'll start to see a world here moving forward. Well,
there's a lot of players who will look at and say, hey,
it isn't my best interest to stay. You know, I
really like it here. I'm building a brand, I'm getting better.
(15:52):
I love where I am. We were fortunate at Colorado Straight.
We had three straight players you know, who were in
the NBA combine and at eligibility left and one of
them went in the transfer portal, you know, And that
was that Colorado state. And that doesn't mean that happens
that way all the time, but clearly it wasn't they
could have went and made a little bit more money
someplace else.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
It wasn't about that.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
So there's still our guys who value more than just
you know, the bottom line.
Speaker 8 (16:15):
It's great, none of us here in the studio.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
You're a bottom line guy.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Yeah, all right, Nico when we come back, we're going
to play Initials. One of our listeners has a crack
at one hundred and one thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
No, they might donate it to the Go for Nil
fund to make that deal here today, they're not required to.
If they win it, they get to keep it if
they want. But one of you gets a crack at
one hundred and one thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (16:38):

right into the fire. This is not an easy combo.
But look, look, welcome to Minnesota again.
Speaker 8 (22:39):
Go yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
So here's how this works. Even though I think you
get the gist of it. There are twelve items. They
can be people, places, things, phrases can be absolutely anything.
They share the same initials. I'll tell you what the
initials are here. In a second. We start on item one,
I start reading clues. There are six clues per item.
As soon as you know who are what I'm describing,
you yell out your name. Your name is your buzzer.
If you get oh, by the way, when you ring
and you get five seconds to solve. If somebody else
(23:03):
rings in and they're not answering, and you know it,
feel free to yell out your name and like, get
in line.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
You can do that.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
If you get it right, you get a point. If
you get it wrong, you're out for the just the
rest of that item, and we play best out of twelve.
Have to pronounce the answers correctly. I think that's about it.
Everybody else, Yes, Core, we got this rough combo today, Nico,
you're gonna learn. These guys don't like when the first
letter is a vowel. They probably don't love when both
(23:30):
letters are vowels are yep.

give me advice on the Initials game. If you know Parker,
You're like, Okay, do I take the advice or I
like the George Costanza Do I just do the opposite?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Told me. Yeah, so that's what I'm trying to figure out.
Dude's the best man. We love that kid.
Speaker 7 (02:25):
Yeah, great, that's an awesome.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
Did you get any other text about today? You get
a few, you know, random ones or whatever like that.
But I'm just the one thing I've learned. I think
you guys, Marnie and then Lieber kind of. I was
at event the other night and they were telling me
about this, and I'm learning, like, well, we have to
do it sometime. I didn't realize it would be today.
The one thing that gives me hope is Lieber said,
the bar has been set pretty low, So you come
(02:50):
in with low expectations here, you know, maybe you can
exceed those.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
We'll see.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
That's exactly right, been my trick. Yeah right, yeah, that's
exactly right. Roseville Area High School in nineteen nine to graduate.
Speaker 8 (03:00):
How was that?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
It was awesome Roseville.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
It was the old Ramsey and Kellogg and I went
there the first year that it became Roseville. And my
parents still live in the house that I grew up
in in Roseville. And I've got a brother, two brothers
that are out that way, and so yeah, that's my
roots and it's pretty cool. Thinking that I worked now
fifteen minutes from where I grew up.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Were you still in the Roseville area in like nineteen
ninety eight or ninety nine ish?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Or where were you close?
Speaker 5 (03:28):
So let me think ninety eight? Yeah, right about then
I finished at the U. I was coaching at McAllister
College here and it was probably right before I went
down to Furman. First my first du one assistant, jop So,
right there in that wheelhouse. Wo.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Why? The only reason I asked because I worked at
the Roseville best Buy around then.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Yeah, I'm just curious. I ever sold you like a
candlebox CD or something?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:50):
You know, it's really funny, Like when I moved home,
I've got like this, these boxes that are still in
my parents I was think one of them is just
a big box full of you know, old CDs.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Be super fun to go through those. What are you
doing with them? We've talked about by I don't have
a saved player and you play them? Are they worth anything?
I don't think so? But what are like? Records are
worth something? Now? Aren't they like kind of you know,
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (04:13):
Cassettes are making a comeback right now? Maybe at some
point too.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I still don't know who has cassette players, who has
and mom both yet now, But the turntables are still
kind of cool. I guess I wish I was good
at that.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
Yeah, you you were a letter winner in basketball and golf.
Were you a good golfer? Are you still a good golfer?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Oh? Man, that kind of depends. I said, yes.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
My golf game's taking a real hit this summer. I
guess my job's kind of gotten in the way of
that a little bit. But I do enjoy golf. It's fun.
It's a great way to connect with people. I lived
out a golf community out in Colorado, and so no,
I've enjoyed it. I've enjoyed getting around a lot of
the courses here. There's great golf in the Twin Cities, man,
So it's been really fun just getting to connect with people,
(04:56):
getting out and playing golf. Hopefully a little bit more
next summer. But I do enjoy the game, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Nico.
Speaker 9 (05:02):
You are a well dressed man, and you're coming coming in.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
You're the only one I'm gonna like, Yeah with your
Gopher hoodie.
Speaker 8 (05:12):
You got your.
Speaker 9 (05:14):
Gopher Jordan's Yeah, even your Yettie cup is I do.
And coaches are notorious, especially in college. You have the
whole wardrobe, Like you must have three hundred pieces of
Gopher clothing right now, but before that you had Colorado
State clothing, and you had firm and clothing. And how
do you transition from one school to another with three
(05:36):
hundred pieces of clothing that you built up over your
time at that school and.
Speaker 7 (05:41):
How you built at the wardrobe?
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Well it's not just the wardrobe, but then you change
like brands, you know, like under Armour to Nike, and
you know you've got all those things and these are
first world problems now that you're dealing with. But I
always try to save a little something from each school
that I still have, just kind of to remember it by.
But well I try to give it away to the
next staff, goodwill, relatives, you name it. But I still
(06:06):
do have a bunch of CSU gear. But yeah, I'm
fine with the Goper gear. I got a lot of
good Gofer gear, so I'm ready to roll. Actually, yeah,
there is some I don't know that if I busted
it out, well it might look like the speacher you
got today, Martie. Actually, but I do have some stuff, yeah,
from back in the day, so I.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Never thought of that.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
That's that's something that some people need to think of
moving forward. If you're dropping off a whole bunch of
Colorado State stuff at a good will, you got to
send somebody else.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
It can't be looking at former just moving on and
just just garbage bags filled before.
Speaker 8 (06:42):
He announces he's leaving, exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
You can't do that. Send somebody else, your neighbor.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
It's true in this particular case, though, Man, I love
Colorado State.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Those people are so awesome to me.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
So it was it was a really amicable situation, you
know that way.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
So I have nothing but love.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
I think there's nothing but love for us and my assistant,
you know, Ali got the job, so it's it's it's
a cool, cool deal. And I still have CSU Gear
I always will.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
Can I ask you an impossible question and I'm putting
you into bet so what I'm sorry I have to
ask how message I don't know how to ask this
without it sounding weird. How much of a step up
is the University of Minnesota from Colorado State? I mean,
why would you leave Colorado State to come to Minnesota?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Oh boy, wow, we're getting deep here already. This morning.
Speaker 8 (07:26):
I'm a novice when it comes to college wardrobe.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
Listen, all these situations are are are different. I mean again,
I did love it there. We've been there for a
long time. They took great, great care of us. But listen,
I mean this is the Big Ten. I mean, you
follow college athletics here in the way that this is going.
I mean, this is the the peak of college athletics.
I think the Big Ten and the SEC are obviously
at the forefront of what's happened, and I believe what's
(07:50):
going to happen here in the next five to ten
years and college athletics. I think it's a great time
to be at the University of Minnesota. I think it's
a great time to be the Beast coach at Minnesota.
We got a lot of work to do, but I
think timing matters. Obviously, this is my fourth head coaching job.
This is the third place I've been an assistant before,
so I think you kind of have a feel for
(08:11):
the place a little bit. Remember when I was here
and Coach Askins was the coach, This place was hum
and it was the Vikings and I think the second
hottest take it in town was Gopher hoops and so
maybe for me, I kind of have a different vision
maybe than most and so that that's that's why I
do it. And it is a step up, you know,
resources all of it, and so I'm excited about it.
(08:34):
Was just it was the right time and the right
situation for me.
Speaker 8 (08:37):
Is the Barn a positive or a negative?
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (08:42):
You know what's interesting is players love playing there. I mean,
it was us at a recruiting disadvantage, not it, not
at all. I mean so many players that have played there,
and even teams that I had taken to the Barn,
they said that's one of their favorite places to play.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
You know, does it need some TLC?
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Yes, I mean I think there's probably you know, in
the next ten to fifteen years, are there some decisions
that need to be made just simply because it's so old.
Is it a major renovation or or whatever?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
It is?
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Probably, But listen, one thing about the Barn. If it's
full and there's a big crowd, it's not a disadvantage
for us. Let's put it that way. It's a great
home court.
Speaker 8 (09:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I think the portal's been good or bad for go
for basketball. As you've watched from Afar, these last handful
of years, and how do you change it moving forward.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
I can't speak to the last few years. You know,
we'll find out this year right soon enough if it's
been good.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
But it is what it is.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
I mean, everything has changed in college athletics. I think
you've got the portal. I still think, you know, you
have to recruit the same kinds of people that you
always have that have allowed you to be successful. You've
got the portal, You've got name, image and likeness, You've
got all those other things that you're trying to, you know,
to combine and put a compelling case together to get
the kind of players and talent you need to be successful.
(09:59):
So think we've taken a big step forward that way.
We need to keep moving in the right direction. But
I think there's a lot of possibilities with the transfer
portal here at Minnesota, and so again, I think we
got a great cell here and I'm excited about it.
Speaker 10 (10:12):
I think you're going to do outstanding. What's the best
golf course you've played in anywhere?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Anywhere? Gosh, that's so hard. Are you are you? Are
you a golfer? Yeah, I'm not very good, but I
played for the same reason you do.
Speaker 10 (10:26):
There's people I would never be able to hang out
with if I couldn't play golf. Yeah, Paris should never
hang out with me if I couldn't play golf.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
I mean, there's so many great courses that you've played,
and probably ones you've never heard of. I tell you what, Like,
one of my favorite places in weird ways is Kiawa Island,
and I love the Ocean course And it's not like
the course that's the you know, people would like other
courses as far as the Pearst and maybe I do
as far as playing every day, but just the few
times that I've been out there, just the vibe is
(10:55):
pretty is pretty awesome. But I've been fortunate to play
a lot of great plays. One trip I have not
made is like the Pebble Beach all that stuff out there,
which I would which I would love to do. But
I'm telling you, the Twin Cities has great courses. I mean,
there are so many terrific places to play.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Right here?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Have you?
Speaker 3 (11:11):
For Shared Windows? Going to answer that.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
For for those of us that didn't watch Colorado State?
What is a what does a Nico Medved offense look like?
What is a what is a Gopher team gonna look
like under you well, hopefully one that scores more than
our opponent.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
For you know, I I think if people had watched
us play, I think we kind of had a reputation
for being good that way. I think our teams have
always really shared and moved the ball. We've been fairly innovative.
You know, our teams have always been among the leaders
in the country and assist to field goals made two
point field goal percentage. Does that mean that translates right
(11:50):
away here?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I don't. I don't know that you can say that.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
But I think we've played a great system and a
great style, and you know what, I've been fortunate to have,
you know, three straight guys who've had has to play
here at the next level. And as I've gotten around
and met a lot of the NBA guys, I think
that they've really enjoyed watching our teams and have said, hey,
we really like how you guys play, and and so
I I think it's a cool way to play, and
(12:14):
I think our guys like it.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
And that's something that we have to bring here to Minnesota.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
And we got to recruit the right way to to
get guys that that fit the way that we want
to do it.
Speaker 8 (12:23):
I'm sorry, I was just saying, Marnia text.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Was a question. Yeah, actually it was. Yeah, we're talking.
Speaker 9 (12:30):
About Nico Medved, the head men's basketball coach of the
University of Minnesota. It says, well, you please reintroduce him,
question Mark, you're.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Going to ask a question? Yeah, and so I me
to do that.
Speaker 8 (12:42):
Yeah. Well, I just I'm trying to be a pro
for once.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
I'm trying to be I wanted to like me, so
I'm trying.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I like you already, aren't you a Bell Bank Championship?
Is that right? Well? There you go. I love those guys, like,
those guys are awesome. Ce. I know my I know
my deal.
Speaker 8 (13:00):
I'm going to write your check for NIL before you leave.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
That's how much it's already worked a trip, telling you
it's already worth a trip here.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
Yeah, just fifteen dollars is going to help.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Well, that would have got us Parker Fox back right.
Ye see, I got to see how I just dug
that in there right now?
Speaker 9 (13:16):
And Parker, Yeah, I actually do have a question about
NIL because it has changed the landscape of college sports,
not just basketball, college sports as we know it. But
we are on the outside, and we think, we know
it would be hard to get that quarterback because he
needs two mill to.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Go to whatever school.
Speaker 9 (13:35):
As somebody who sees it on the inside, what are
things about the about nil and just its existence that
we would never even think of, or that has changed
your life and the way you do your job in ways.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
That you never even anticipated.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Well, I mean the guy with you so many different
directions with that. I mean the one thing I think
for people who don't understand it, you just look at
the amount of money right now that college athletics is making.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Look at the Big ten.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
I mean, all these schools are going to and north
of sixty million dollars a year just simply in TV revenue,
and so the revenue streams are getting bigger and bigger
simply really because of television primarily. So yeah, players look
at that, and it is they They do need to
be involved, you know, the ones who generate that kind
of revenue. So I'm a proponent of it. You know,
how we're doing it right now is not working. We're
(14:20):
probably in this ten year window, I believe of kind
of where we started three or four years ago, but
we're still four or five years away from really finding
you know what this is going to look like. I
think the one thing for young people, as I've really
tried to help them, as young people who now have
a lot of money, they have you know, target on
(14:41):
their back, they have different kinds of pressures and things
that probably they're not emotionally ready to handle yet or
probably don't quite understand, and so just really trying to
help them navigate those kinds of things. So, you know,
there's been some situations already that young people have had
to deal with that probably five years ago they didn't
have to deal with. So I think that world has changed.
(15:01):
But man, I haven't changed it all. I coach these
guys not not at all, but probably their world has
changed a lot, and so I think you just really
have to be mindful of that.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yeah, we've heard that a lot right in the past.
If you if you signed up for a school and
then realize pretty quickly you weren't going to get playing time. Now,
these kids have one eye on the door, right like,
if I'm not going to play here, I'm going to
go somewhere else. But like you said, if the guys
at the end of the bench, that's not something you
can necessarily worry about anyway. If he's gonna go, he's
gonna go.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Yeah, I mean, and listen, I don't blame somebody if
they want an opportunity to play and to do that,
I don't. I don't fault somebody for that. And you know,
sometimes it does make sense. But you know what, I
also think you'll start to see a world here moving forward. Well,
there's a lot of players who will look at and say, hey,
it isn't my best interest to stay. You know, I
really like it here. I'm building a brand, I'm getting better.
(15:52):
I love where I am. We were fortunate at Colorado Straight.
We had three straight players you know, who were in
the NBA combine and at eligibility left and one of
them went in the transfer portal, you know, And that
was that Colorado state. And that doesn't mean that happens
that way all the time, but clearly it wasn't they
could have went and made a little bit more money
someplace else.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
It wasn't about that.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
So there's still our guys who value more than just
you know, the bottom line.
Speaker 8 (16:15):
It's great, none of us here in the studio.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
You're a bottom line guy.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Yeah, all right, Nico when we come back, we're going
to play Initials. One of our listeners has a crack
at one hundred and one thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
No, they might donate it to the Go for Nil
fund to make that deal here today, they're not required to.
If they win it, they get to keep it if
they want. But one of you gets a crack at
one hundred and one thousand dollars.

All right, So Nico, I'm gonna tell you the initials
here in a second. Let's just say you're getting thrown
right into the fire. This is not an easy combo.
But look, look, welcome to Minnesota again.
Speaker 8 (22:39):
Go yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
So here's how this works. Even though I think you
get the gist of it. There are twelve items. They
can be people, places, things, phrases can be absolutely anything.
They share the same initials. I'll tell you what the
initials are here. In a second. We start on item one,
I start reading clues. There are six clues per item.
As soon as you know who are what I'm describing,
you yell out your name. Your name is your buzzer.
If you get oh, by the way, when you ring
and you get five seconds to solve. If somebody else
(23:03):
rings in and they're not answering, and you know it,
feel free to yell out your name and like, get
in line.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
You can do that.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
If you get it right, you get a point. If
you get it wrong, you're out for the just the
rest of that item, and we play best out of twelve.
Have to pronounce the answers correctly. I think that's about it.
Everybody else, Yes, Core, we got this rough combo today, Nico,
you're gonna learn. These guys don't like when the first
letter is a vowel. They probably don't love when both
