The greatest kids sports movies of the 1990s; Fireworks tell story in Gophers loss to North Carolina
Episode 917
vendredi 30 août 2024 • Duration 44:07
Introduction: Your bleary-eyed host Michael Rand returned home from the Gophers' 19-17 loss to North Carolina on Thursday night, grabbed a few hours of sleep, then tried to make sense of it at the start of today's show. The best way to describe it: There were very few figurative fireworks in a close but uninspiring game. And the literal fireworks at the end, mistakenly shot off when Minnesota missed a potential winning field goal in the final seconds, were a fitting end to it all.
9:00: Dana Wessel, a radio morning show personality on 93X as well as a movie expert (and friend of Rand), joined the podcast for a fun segment on the best kids sports movies of the 1990s. Which ones hold up the best and should be shown to the next generation?
40:00: It's a big weekend for Pablo Lopez and the Twins.
Minnesota's top high school football players and teams; Randy Johnson on Gophers vs. North Carolina
Episode 917
jeudi 29 août 2024 • Duration 38:20
Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Twins, who lost again and are 1-5 on this homestand. Manager Rocco Baldelli attributed their recent slide to one of many streaks they've had this season. The Twins and their fans better hope he's right because any help for a sagging roster has been slow to come, if at all. The Lynx are going in the other direction, though, surging into second place in the WNBA and looking every bit like a title contender.
9:00: Rand welcomes in the Star Tribune's Jim Paulsen for part of Thursday's football feast. Paulsen gives insights into his Dream Team of the top high school football players in the entire state of Minnesota and sets the stage for Thursday's first big slate of games.
22:00: Randy Johnson provides the second helping of football, getting listeners ready for Thursday's Gophers football opener against North Carolina.
The Teddy Bridgewater parallel; Game-by-game Gophers football breakdown; two good wins
Episode 907
vendredi 16 août 2024 • Duration 41:56
Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with two emails from listeners. Shane is blaming himself for J.J. McCarthy's injury because of a parallel his life to Teddy Bridgewater's injury eight years ago. And Bob thinks the Twins have missed some critical chances to close the gap on Cleveland even though they had a strong overall homestand and good win Thursday in Texas.
13:00: Star Tribune Gophers football writer Randy Johnson gives us the latest on running back Darius Taylor's hamstring injury and goes game-by-game through the entire 12-game schedule with Rand.
36:00: The Lynx are back and didn't miss a beat; the Wolves are being treated (correctly) as one of the NBA's top teams.
Best-case scenario for Vikings draft? + What ails the Twins offense and a big transfer for U hockey
Episode 817
mardi 9 avril 2024 • Duration 38:52
Introduction: Host Michael Rand looks at the Twins offense through eight games, finding a team that is second to last in runs per game at 2.88 and struggling to sustain rallies. There are multiple reasons for the poor start at the plate, but the net effect is a team that is now 3-5 and not looking very dangerous at the plate.
11:00: Star Tribune Vikings writer Andrew Krammer joins Rand for a look at all the potential quarterbacks available in the draft. What will the Vikings end up doing? And what is their best-case scenario with the draft a little more than two weeks away?
34:00: UConn triumphs and the Gophers men's hockey team gets a key addition.
Patrick Reusse on freezing cold Twins bats, college basketball, Timberwolves and more
Episode 816
lundi 8 avril 2024 • Duration 46:09
Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports. Women's basketball again took center stage, with South Carolina capping an undefeated season by outlasting Iowa and Caitlin Clark in Sunday's NCAA title game. Iowa advanced after a controversial offensive foul helped it defeat UConn in the semifinals. On the men's side, Purdue and UConn will offer a contrast in styles in Monday's title game.
Reusse and Rand also get into the Twins, whose early offensive struggles are a bad sign for a team that will need a more balanced approach to be successful this season.
And the Wolves won a key game out west against the Lakers, keeping alive their chances of being the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference playoffs.
Phil Miller on Twins; Huge night for women's basketball; Where do Wild go now?
Episode 815
vendredi 5 avril 2024 • Duration 34:28
Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Wild, whose playoff hopes were almost completely dashed with a 5-2 loss to Colorado on Thursday. It's been a middling year for the franchise. Can it get any better next season, the final year of salary cap jail?
6:00: Friday is a huge night for women's college basketball with the national semifinals. Plus an interesting WNBA mock draft says Angel Reese will wind up on the Lynx.
11:00: Star Tribune Twins writer Phil Miller joins Rand for a look at the Twins. After a loss in their home opener Thursday, they are 3-3 and are struggling at the plate. What takeaways do we have from the season so far?
32:00: A sign of the times for Gophers men's basketball.
Big Ten deer hunting power rankings; Anthony Edwards and Twins break out of their slumps
Episode 814
jeudi 4 avril 2024 • Duration 35:35
Host Michael Rand starts with some key games from Wednesday. Anthony Edwards broke out of his shooting slump by making five three-pointers as the Wolves moved back into first place in the Western Conference. The Twins hit a home run for the first time since their opening game, keying a win over the Brewers and sending the team back to the Target Field opener with confidence. And the Gophers women's basketball team advanced to the finals of the WNIT.
11:00: Star Tribune outdoors writer Tony Kennedy joins Rand to talk about a unique story he is working on. Which of the 11 states that have Big Ten schools is the best for deer hunting?
32:00: Stefon Diggs wore out his welcome again.
Chip Scoggins on NIL and Caitlin vs. Paige; Troubling numbers for the Twins, Timberwolves and Wild
Episode 813
mercredi 3 avril 2024 • Duration 39:03
Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the good and the bad from three Minnesota games Tuesday. The Wolves won and kept pace in the West, but Anthony Edwards is now 0-for-19 on threes in his last few games. They can't afford an Ant slump in the playoffs. The Twins lost 3-2 and their home run leader (Royce Lewis) has been injured for all but three innings this season. They also aren't getting enough innings from starting pitchers. The Wild won, but time is running out -- a shame because they are actually playing pretty well since the break.
10:00: Star Tribune columnist Chip Scoggins joins Rand for a look at the Gophers men's basketball program in the wake of losing several players to the transfer portal. How is a program supposed to improve in an era of instant transfers as well as name, image and likeness? Scoggins and Rand also set up what should be a great women's Final Four matchup between UConn and Iowa.
36:00: Women's basketball is setting TV records.
Patrick Reusse on Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers, Timberwolves ownership and more
Episode 812
mardi 2 avril 2024 • Duration 32:42
Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look at the biggest stories in sports. They started with Monday's thrilling NCAA women's basketball games, as Iowa's Caitlin Clark and UConn's Paige Bueckers dazzled fans and set up what should be a Final Four matchup for the ages on Friday.
Reusse also shed more light on the Timberwolves ownership situation and his conversations with Glen Taylor. Plus he has a theory that the NBA probably doesn't like all the acrimony between the Taylor side and the Marc Lore/Alex Rodriguez side. But let's not pretend any of this really influences how the players play on the court.
Plus thoughts on the Twins' opening series and the Frozen Four.
Timberwolves ownership drama; High school transfer conversation; Gophers hockey + Twins win
Episode 811
vendredi 29 mars 2024 • Duration 34:46
On a jam-packed episode of Daily Delivery, host Michael Rand starts with the brewing ownership drama with the Timberwolves. Glen Taylor announced Thursday that the Wolves and Lynx are no longer for sale after investors Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez missed a payment deadline to become majority owners. But Lore and A-Rod have a different version of the story.
7:00: On a normal day, the Twins winning their MLB opener and losing Royce Lewis to injury would have been the top story -- or at least shared the spotlight with the Gophers men's hockey team rallying to win 3-2 in the NCAA tournament.
12:00: Star Tribune high school sports editor Kevin Bertels joins Rand for a look at the impact of transfers on the prep sports landscape, particularly the recent boys' basketball state tournament.
32:00: Speaking of transfers, the Gophers have a bunch of players in the men's basketball transfer portal, threatening the progress are making as a program.
