Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Wild game he attended with friends on Thursday. Some of them were Carolina Hurricanes fans, and Rand explains why attending games with fans of the opposing team has its benefits and drawbacks. The Wild earned a 2-1 win while the Wolves came back to defeat the Rockets, important home victories for both teams.

11:00: Jon Marthaler joins Rand to break down the imminent start of the MLS season. Where does Minnesota United fit in? And what does it all have to do with the band Van Halen?

28:00: Kevin O'Connell is the NFL's Coach of the Year, Jared Allen is a Hall of Famer and the Gophers women's basketball team is in need of a victory.
