Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Twins, who lost again and now sit at 5-12. Three things stand out: Their pitchers have committed six errors this season, twice as many as any other staff in the majors; the smallest announced crowd in non-Covid Target Field history watched Monday's game; and the Twins are tied for their worst start in franchise history. Plus the Lynx made significant moves during Monday's WNBA Draft and Paige Bueckers went No. 1 overall to Dallas, as expected. 10:00: Marcus Fuller joins Rand to break down Niko Medved's work in the transfer portal so far this season. With six new transfer additions and more to come, where do the Gophers stand? 35:00: A big night with clear stakes for the Wild.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with two big games Monday, which saw the Wild and Wolves change course. The Wild had been struggling to hang on through key injuries, but they managed an important (if boring) 3-1 win over the Kings. The Wolves let a banged-up Indiana team snap their eight-game winning streak, a game that brought the return of some bad habits. 9:00: Marcus Fuller joins Rand for a look at the Gophers men's basketball coaching search. Niko Medved has emerged as the front-runner, but the Colorado State coach will lead his team in the NCAA tournament later this week. What is the timeline and what should we be watching for in the search? 33:00: The Vikings have done a lot of really good things in the last week, including a trade for running back Jordan Mason.
Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Vikings, who have been very busy in free agency in the first 24 hours of negotiations. Letting Sam Darnold go (to Seattle) opened up a bunch of cap space, which the Vikings are using to beef up the interior of their offensive and defensive lines. It's a new era of Vikings football. 10:00: Star Tribune Gophers basketball writer Marcus Fuller joins the show to break down the state of the men's team heading into the Big Ten Tournament. The 12th-seeded Gophers will play 13th-seeded Northwestern on Wednesday.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand was going to tease Wolves fans again for turning their noses up at victory, but then it turned out that head coach Chris Finch felt the same way about Minnesota's 100-92 victory over a short-handed Atlanta squad. How will the Wolves respond to his criticism? And this much is certain: They should be glad Jimmy Butler isn't part of their mess. 10:00: Star Tribune Gophers men's basketball writer Marcus Fuller joins Rand to break down the stunning three-game winning streak for Minnesota. Is it sustainable heading into a tough game at Michigan State? And will the Gophers ever schedule St. Thomas? 31:00: Some attention for Gophers women's basketball heading into two daunting road games.
Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with another gritty Wild victory, during which they overcame an injury to Brock Faber, a two-goal deficit and a grueling end-of-game shift. They've won six of their last seven and seem to have put their swoon behind them. Plus the Wolves won for the second straight game after their lineup change. 9:00: Star Tribune Gophers men's basketball writer Marcus Fuller joins Rand to talk about the struggling squad. Minnesota fell to 0-4 in the Big Ten with a double overtime loss to Ohio State this week, and it's hard to find positives about the team right now. 28:00: Gophers women's basketball optimism and the possibility of Brian Flores leaving the Vikings.

Introduction: Twins infielder Royce Lewis has had a charmed existence when he's been on the field as an MLB player, but things have taken a turn lately. Since announcing that he doesn't "do that slump thing" in mid-June, Lewis is hitting just .228. And this week Lewis has been vocal about not liking even occasional action at second base, which is where he started in Wednesday's 9-4 loss to Tampa Bay. Combined with Byron Buxton getting ejected from a minor league rehab game, it hasn't been the most mature week for two of the Twins' best players. 10:00: Star Tribune Gophers reporter Marcus Fuller joins host Michael Rand for a look at the Gophers volleyball team, which went through growing pains in Keegan Cook's first season as head coach but looks to be ready to resume a place of dominance this season. 29:00: Will the Vikings be able to run the ball this year?

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with Knicks owner James Dolan's scathing letter to the league's board of governors complaining about several aspects of a reported new 11-year, $76 billion media/TV deal. Dolan, representing the large-market Knicks, worries that the NBA is moving toward a national broadcast model that will render regional sports networks "unviable." What might that mean for Minnesota sports and the Wolves? 9:00: Star Tribune Gophers sports writer Marcus Fuller joins Rand to talk about two main subjects. First, Fuller sheds more light on Gophers AD Mark Coyle's comments to the Board of Regents last week about the future economic model within the athletic department.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Twins, who won again Thursday with a familiar recent formula. Carlos Correa has been on fire at the plate, and he delivered three more hits in a 6-2 win over Oakland. Joe Ryan, the Twins' best starting pitcher all season, added seven strong innings.

Plus Rand gets into the Falcons' penalty for tampering with Kirk Cousins and Trevor Lawrence's big new deal. 8:00: Star Tribune Gophers men's basketball writer Marcus Fuller joins the show to talk about another offseason with a lot of roster turnover.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand takes a look at five things he got wrong about the Timberwolves over the last few years.

NCAA/Gophers hoops and Tourney Takes from Marcus Fuller, before some Vikes Bites, then Wolves vox Alan Horton closes the show!
Introduction: Anthony Edwards had another transcendent moment Monday with a massive poster dunk that sparked the Wolves to a key win over Utah. With several key Minnesota players injured, Edwards is finding another gear down the stretch this season. Plus host Michael Rand looks at a Twins injury situation that is suddenly very unsettled. 10:00: Star Tribune men's college basketball writer Marcus Fuller joins Rand for a look at the postseason.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand marvels at the Thursday performance of Anthony Edwards, who dominated offensively down the stretch against Indiana and made an incredible game-preserving block in a 113-111 Timberwolves victory. On the same day the Wolves learned Karl-Anthony Towns would be out at least four weeks, it was a huge performance. It was also a reminder of how important it is to have stars -- something we will learn again Friday as Caitlin Clark takes over Target Center. 10:00: Star Tribune Gophers men's basketball beat writer Marcus Fuller joins Rand to talk about what's at stake the rest of this season -- and next year -- for Ben Johnson's team. 27:00: A Wild win, a trade and an unbelievable high school hockey streak continues.
Introduction: Host Michael Rand took note of Twins executive Joe Pohlad giving an honest interview on WCCO radio earlier this week, when he said the Twins are not in the market for any of the remaining big-ticket MLB free agents. Rand appreciates the candor but doesn't like the message. This team has a lot of momentum from last year. Why close off opportunities to get better? Plus Rand weighs in on La Velle E. Neal's strong column on Gophers baseball and softball at U.S. Bank Stadium. 10:00: Star Tribune Gophers men's basketball beat writer Marcus Fuller joins the show to give good perspective on Minnesota's improvement and what it means to be a contender to reach the NCAA tournament.

Hour 1 of the Huddle features our analysis of the Super Bowl, Marcus Fuller joins the show to talk Gopher hoops and the Fast Break features questions about the Vikings draft, Byron Buxton and more.
Introduction: Host Michael Rand gives a long head nod to Karl-Anthony Towns. The Timberwolves big man was named an All-Star for the fourth time in his career on Thursday, an honor that perhaps means more this time after all he has been through in the last 18 months. Given that Rand was convinced KAT needed to be traded before the start of the season, an acknowledgment of Towns' terrific season is in order. 7:00: Star Tribune Gophers men's basketball beat writer Marcus Fuller joins the show to talk about Saturday's big game against Northwestern, the emergence of Parker Fox and the new Big Ten Tournament format. He also gets into some St. Thomas basketball talk. 27:00: Jim Harbaugh wants to live in an RV for a while; Rand runs through some listener comments, including one Lions fan who was VERY upset about Monday's show.
Introduction: Host Michael Rand looks at the history of the Timberwolves, which has included 12 seasons that have ended with 24 wins or fewer. That's how many wins the Wolves have now -- after 33 games. Their most recent efforts in a 24-9 season have been lacking, though, including a loss to New Orleans on Wednesday. As fans grumble through this lull, it's a lesson in expectations. 9:00: Star Tribune Gophers men's basketball beat writer Marcus Fuller joins Rand for a look ahead to Thursday's game at Michigan and the challenges of a Big Ten slate. After some good showings against weak competition, what should we expect from Ben Johnson's team? 33:00: Justin Jefferson sure sounds like he wants Kirk Cousins back as his quarterback; Minnesota's PWHL had a successful debut.

Host Michael Rand thought the Wolves might face some true adversity and a losing streak after Dallas blitzed them early in Thursday's game following a loss Monday in New Orleans. Instead, the Wolves calmly responded and won in a blowout and reaffirmed their place in the Western Conference. Plus, the Wild won but there's turmoil in the front office. 8:00: Star Tribune college basketball writer Marcus Fuller joins Rand to talk about the Gophers men's team, recruiting and the return of his Basketball Across Minnesota feature. 33:00: St. Thomas put a scare into Marquette, the Raiders went from 0 to 63 in four days and the Vikings completely reshuffled their quarterback depth chart.
Introduction: Host Michael Rand lauds the Timberwolves for their win over the Nuggets but laments that he (and others) weren't able to watch it because of continuing problems with the Bally Sports Plus app. That led directly into listener questions about the future of sports on TV, Dick Bremer and local superstars. 14:00: Star Tribune Gophers men's basketball writer Marcus Fuller joins Rand ahead of Ben Johnson's third season as head coach. The Gophers are picked to finish last in the Big Ten again. Will they be better than that? Fuller thinks they will. 29:00: The Rangers win the World Series and Big Ten coaches turn up the heat on Michigan.
Introduction: Host Michael Rand answered a few questions/rants from listeners, starting with one about the Twins' likely starting pitching plans in the Wild Card series.

Rand gets into the rationale. 10:00: Star Tribune Gophers men's basketball writer Marcus Fuller joins Rand to talk about that team, which started practice this week in preparation for Year Three under Ben Johnson. It's a big season with a better roster, but improvement is a must. 30:00: Would Kirk Cousins really agree to be traded? And a listener scolds Rand for not including a great game from Vikings history on a recent episode.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand looks at Thursday's short start from Sonny Gray (four innings, 79 pitches) and plays audio from the frustrated pitcher. It was the type of game where removing Gray looked especially bad in hindsight after the bullpen gave up six runs in an 8-4 loss. 5:00: Two big story lines with the Vikings involve the status of Kirk Cousins and Danielle Hunter. Might they be related? 8:00: Marcus Fuller joins Rand to set up the summer and season ahead for the Gophers men's and women's basketball teams. 30:00: Rand notes with interest the decision by Lindsay Whalen to make a clean break with the Gophers instead of taking on a special assistant role, as was revealed this week.
