All hail Mankato Jesus! MV and Frothy review and recap the breakout game for #PN9X, the five minute period in which time stood still and we were all peons at Michael Carter's mercy and more from the general dismantling of the Boilermakers. The crew also looks ahead to Denard and the Wolverines, a task that will be slightly more difficult than the Hapless Hopestaches.

MV and Frothy return, and boy, they are full of rage! The FBT duo cut a vein to the unholy trinity of angst and rancor clutching Gopher Nation this week: the expiration of Kill's honeymoon, #BetterDeadtThanRedshirted and the UNC series cancellation hullabaloo. If you're the type of Gopher fan that thrives on irrational behavior and knee jerk reactions in the heat of the moment, only to stubbornly not back down from said op...

Four and Oh! Four and Oh! The FBT crew assembles to discuss the dominating performance of the Gopher defense in the 17-10 victory over Syracuse and just how real the defense is heading into the Big Ten schedule. The triumvirate also thoroughly evaluate Max Shortell's performance in his first start of the season, plus a collective gnashing of teeth (and keyboards) over special teams mishaps. This being HATEWEEK, a look at h...

The FBT Cerberus dissects #QBGAZE2K12, which naturally dominates the first half of the podcast much in the same manner the "controversy" has plastered itself across the Twin Cities newspaper sports sections. Frothy, Elliot and MV go on to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the Gopher defense and what that may fortel going forward, plus good old fashioned schadenfreude at the expense of Wisconsin. Again. The WMU game a...

Frothy and MV verbally recap the Gophers victory over UNLV in the season opener. Among the topics discussed, the FBT crew handle MarQueis Gray's accuracy issues, the play of the defense, the awful sucking sound that was Rebel football and the things that both encourage and worry us moving forward this 2012 season.

The entire FBT braintrust of MV, Frothy and Elliot get together to discuss the Gophers' season opener against the UNLV Rebels. Being who we are, everything about the game and matchups are metaphorically described using famous Las Vegas movie references, especially levels of Ben Sanderson (Leaving Las Vegas) and copius amounts of Gonzo (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas).
In the cast, Frothy and MV share their armcharm ana...

MV and Frothy do hot hot B1G #SPROTS takes! Our attempt at satire fails miserably when our preparation and drive-by takes on the Big Ten end up sounding exactly like the folks we modestly ridicule. MV, as always, forgets peoples names right when they're on the tip of his tongue and shows the hallmark professional amateurism that is the FBT podcast. In the end, the MO of ripping on Wisconsin and Iowa, plus curmudgeonly thin...

The FBT Podcast lives! MV comes back after a long absense to talk with fellow FBT blogger Elliot Mann on Joel Maturi's emotional retirement announcement, Jerry Kill's 2012 recruiting class, the bizarre Dinero Moss twitter de-commitment story (which somehow leads to a discussion of JoePa's passing) and, as all FBT podcasts should end in the future, pointing out how much Bret Bielema and Wisconsin suck.

MV brings on Derek Burns -- former Gopher captain and 3 year starter along the offensive line (1999-2001) -- to talk about his perspective on the Jerry Kill era of Gopher football. Burns also breaks down everything you'd possibly want to know about offensive line blocking schemes and fundamentals, especially since the schemes between Matt Limegrover and Gordie Shaw/Glen Mason are very similar. Derek even tips listeners in ...
