• 2:51
  Speaker 1: just say a belated Happy New Year, Mary, Christmas, Happy holidays.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I hope you all had a real good one. I
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: want to send a special shout out to my former
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: in laws, my former father in law, Dan pole passed
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: away and my ex wife, Angie alerted me to that
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: last Friday. And nothing but love to my ex wife
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and her family for the tragic loss that they are
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: going through right now. So I just wanted to give
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: us some love for them as well. But let's get
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: into the sports here and again, Vince writes Sports Governor.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: This is the Sports Done Right podcast. Let's go for football.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: We haven't really talked another first off, another winning bowl
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: game against New Mexico, and New Mexico not a bad squad.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: So you know, hey, you know, congrats to the Gophers.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: But the big news Coy Perrige deciding to enter the portal.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: And let's just take him minute, because you know, now
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: that we've had a little bit of time to let
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: this soak in, I think a lot of Gopher fans,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I don't you know. It's not like they're crying in
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: their beer ouver this one. Coy had definitely a down
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: year this year.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: We know that.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I personally think it may have been, you know, with
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the focus on the offensive side of the ball for him,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the kick and punt returns, all that stuff. I get it.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: He's a very talented guy. But I just thought that
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: you know, when the guy's a freshman All American, you know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: as a defensive back, maybe that's where he needs to stay.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: We got other people that can return kicks. We got
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: other people that can take handoffs. They're called running backs.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: But you know, I get it. It's nice to have
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: these players every once in a while that can do
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: a little bit of everything. Helps program, helps market it.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I get it. I get it. But I just thought
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Cooy just should have been focusing on the defense as
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: being a defensive back, and the Gopher backfield missed a
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: lot of tackles, found himself out of position a lot
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: this year for his standards, and yeah, you know, I
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. And then the news, you know,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: hit just over twenty four hours ago that he's entering
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: or leaving however you want to say it. And it's
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: just like, hey, at first, yeah, it hurts because we
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: know the talent that he has. We get that. But
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: you know, when you put it into the complete summary
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: of this season, I think people are just kind of
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: like and not only that, got to give PJ. Flex
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: some love because he's been lighting up the portal here.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's got guys coming in big offensive lineman
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: coming in from Tennessee, other players that I don't have
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the information in front of me as i'm recording this
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: podcast here, but PJ has really been lighting up the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: transfer portal, so I think along with that is all
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's just Gopher fans are like, well,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: you know, we'll miss you when you're gone, Coy. But
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: if that's what he's going to do, you know, and hey,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you know, I ain't mad at him. I'm not one
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: of these guys. You know, I'll hear on social media
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: talking crap about him and you know, saying, you know,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: he's never welcome at a rest around in Minnesota again,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: all this kind of bus you know, Wish him luck
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: wherever he goes. Eyes on Miami Hurricanes, who we're going
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: to talk about here in a minute. With the college
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: football playoffs going on and former Minnesota go for defensive
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: coordinator Harrington down there working magic with that Hurricane defense,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: So that can definitely be in play for Cooy parents,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: along with you know, the other big name schools that
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: had interest in them. But hey, their interest may change too,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: So it's going to be very interesting to see where
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: he winds up. Some people have even, excuse me, put
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: out there that hey, this is just kind of a
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: marketing ploy to maybe try and get some more money
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: from Minnesota. I don't think that's the play, but man,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: not the way to go about it, I guess I
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: don't know if that is what he's trying to do.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: But stay tuned, folks. We will see where coy perrich lands.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: But again, props to the Golden Gophers. They're really doing
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: a decent job here in the portal and got a
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: lot more people coming in to take a look at
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the campus and whatnot from what we hear, So stay tuned.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: We'll have all We'll have a full report here next
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: week on the Sports Done Right podcast. All right, let's
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: keep it moving since we're in Gopherville. Big game tonight
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: over at Williams Arena in Minneapolis. Seventy to sixty seven.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Minnesota holds on over a very Hey, listen, I was
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: got a really good team, Okay, I have been watching
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: them early this year. Obviously, the girls team has kind
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: of taken over the limelight of Iowa basketball the past
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: few years. Obviously Caitlin Clark and you know, just the
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: teams they put together down there. But I was men's team.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I you know, I caught a couple of games early
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: this year, and honestly, I was just impressed. You know,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: they got some good players. Bennett Starts Combs. It was
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: a Kale Combs. You know, they got some good players
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: down there, And all of a sudden, I was ranked
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: coming up into town here in the Gophers for most
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: of this game tonight played really really solid basketball, and
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: then I was went on a twenty to five run
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: late in the second half, actually wind up taking the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: lead with about a minute fifteen minute thirteen left. They
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: stormed all the way back to take the lead from
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: very early in the game. Gophers, however, hold on. It
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: wasn't pretty at the end, making no mistakes about it.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: They missed a lot of free throws. If I was
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: coaching that, i'd i'd, honestly i'd have them shooting free
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: throws after that crowd and everybody else got out from
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: a storm in the court and everything. With that being said, however,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Minnesota does hold on and the Gophers, like I said,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: get to win. They I think, what is it ten
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: and five? Now nine and five? But hey, great game.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Langston Reynolds, big time player. Uh he had twenty two
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: points tonight, Jalen Crocker Johnson with ten Kay Tyson another
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: really solid player. He had sixteen tonight, and you know,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: big rebound night from Kate as well. And yeah, I
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: you know, I just I just in one year, this
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: is just already a better team. They look better, they
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: move around the court better. And it's not like I'm
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: sitting here just trying to rag on Ben Johnson by
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: any means. But you know, Nico Medved's real basketball coach
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: and he knows what he's doing, and you know that's
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: why he had success in Colorado state of all places.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: So gotta love what we're seeing here. And you know,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: this is what we want. Just a steady progression for
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the Golpher team here, and you know, let's just see
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: what happens this year. Maybe a NCAA tournament appearance would
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: be nice, of course, But yeah, I mean the Gophers
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: are are doing really, really, really good. And right now, yeah,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: they are ten and five, nine and oh at home,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: three and one in conference. The Nebraska Cornhuskers, along with
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the Michigan Wolverines, are sitting at the top of this
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: conference at four and oh. And again, shout out to Nebraska.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta like what they're doing down there
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: in Lincoln. You know, their football season kind of win
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: a muck, but they got some really really good players
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: and you know the coaches kids, Sam Hoiberg down there
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: doing big things. So congrats to Nebraska, Purdue three and er,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Michigan State three and one. Like I said, I was
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: now two and two, Minnesota three and one, So you know,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: we're still early obviously in the Big Ten season. I'm
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: not going to go through all thirty big schools, but
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: you know, a couple of teams. Keep an eye out Illinois, UCLA,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Wisconsin looked good a little earlier on. They've kind of
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: looked okay here recently, but keep it eyes on the
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: team from Madison as well, and to see if they
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: can make any movement there. But we are off from
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: running into Big Ten and again Gophers with a very
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: big win tonight. Five wins in a row from Minnesota.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Congrats to them. Keep it moving and keep it going forward.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Love with coach medved Is doing early on here for
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: our program. All right, moving on, like I said, well,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: let's do this. Take a quick, very very quick break
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: here for the best frozen pizza in town. Seventh Avenue
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Pizza the best, I say it all the time. The
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: best ingredients, the best sauce. I love the sausage that
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: they use on their sausage and the sausage pep pizza

• 12:39
  Speaker 1: works in pizza form, but it works. Seventh Avenue Pizza.

• 13:28
  Speaker 1: College football just finished quarterfinal round going into the national semifinals,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: and gotta say, man, this Miami defense was all business
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: as they took down Ohio State no problem twenty four
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: to fourteen. Old Miss who needs Lane Kiffin? Then a
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: special K nine needed at all at the Old Miss
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: campus thirty nine thirty four. They hold on against Georgia,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: but hey, old Miss, six seed in the national semi finals,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: playing for a national championship. Let's go up Oregon. Listen,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Oregon early on in this game was getting in their
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: own way. They honestly should have probably won this game
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: forty five to nothing. Instead they win it twenty three
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: to nothing over Texas Tech. Texas Tech just had nothing
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: obviously going they they couldn't do anything right. A lot
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: of disappointment in Texas Tech fans in the Orange Bowl
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: making a cross country trip along with those Oregon fans.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: But man, Oregon all day down in Miami twenty three nothing,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: And of course a lot of people would say, the
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: shocker of the day at the Rose Bowl, but was
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: it really Indiana. Let's just savor this Indiana beating Alabama
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: and the Rose Bowl thirty eight to three, thirty eight
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: to three. Heisman do a Signettian crew just all day long.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: You know, I talk about that Miami defense. Boy, this
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Indiana defense gets no love, and well, I mean they
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: get love, but I'm telling you, guys, this Indiana defense
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: is for real. It's for real and they are doing
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: it man. So congrats to the Indiana Hoosiers. And now
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: we have a all Big ten semi final game with
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Oregon in Indiana. That'd be your Chick fil a Peach
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Bowl here that'd be coming up on. Is that the
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Friday or Saturday game? January ninth. I don't have the
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: calendar in front of me. I think that's Saturday. I
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: think that's the Saturday. And then Ole Miss Miami January eighth.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: That's gonna be your Fiesta Bowl, verbal Fiesta Bowl. Excuse
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: me Miami again? That defense? Ol Miss miamis the three
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: and a half point favorite. Indiana also three and a
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: half point favorite here early on on the betting lines.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Listening til somebody beats Indiana. I like Indiana. I think
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: this is going to be a good game. But until
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: it happens, I mean, I just Indiana's just going on
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: all cylinders right now and they just seem to have
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: answers for everybody. So I like Indiana by you know,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: seven to ten points over Oregon, and listen, I like
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Miami to come out and I like that defense to
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: just kind of keep destroying people, to be honest with you,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: and I think Miami finds the win against Ole Miss
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: to set up the Indiana Miami Championship game, which is
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the one I'm personally hoping for. Growing up, I was
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: a huge Miami Hurricane fan. But just to say or
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: see Indiana Indiana playing for the national title and possibly winning,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: it would be something. And that game is back down
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: in Miami, the National Championship game on January nineteenth. I
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: gotta say, man, outside of the Indiana game, you know,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: like I said, Oregon should have won by more. They
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: were kind of trying some trick plays and stuff. Really
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: they took some they took their own points off the
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: board early on. But yeah, man, this old Miss game
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: and Ohio State and Ohio State to be back, but yeah, Miami.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Like I said, the defense was just too much in
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the end. So I am very excited here for this
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: in my final coming up this weekend. And you know what,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: can I say, Let's do it Timberwolves. They win or
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: are winning, we get the live update here because they are, well,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: they're up big. There we go Final one, twenty two
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: ninety four over to Miami Heat. Gotta like that. And
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: our Timberwolves twenty three and thirteen finally started to, you know,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: hit it a little bit here. Don't get these Western
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Conference standings up. Timberwolves in six plays, six in the games,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: six excuse me, six and a half games behind the
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma City Thunder. But the Thunder are four and a
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: half clear of the second place San Antonio Spurs, So
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: getting Thunder, you know, started out with that miraculous stretch.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: They're thirty and seven right now, Spurs twenty five and eleven,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: and the Lakers twenty two and eleven as well. And
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: you know, people were talking crab about the Lakers early on.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Lakers are the three seed as right now, so there
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: you go there. The fourth seed is the Nuggets, fifth
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: seed is Houston. Like we said, our Minnesota Timberwolves sitting
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: at number six right now, Phoenix Suns at number seven,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: and the Warriors hanging on at number eight, and followed
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: by all the also runs after that. So obviously lots
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: of basketball to play, but good to see the Timberwolves
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: finally starting to kind of feel, you know, like Timberwolves
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: basketball again as well. So Thursday, Wolves got Cleveland in
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: town here, then they hit the road Saturday at Cleveland,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: and then the Spurs come up Sunday for a big
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: tilt there as well. So yeah, and after that, you know,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: next week Timberwolves play Milwaukee Houston again with San Antonio.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: So a lot of tough games on paper anyway coming
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: up here for the Minnesota Timberwolves. But gotta like it
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards and crew doing big things. He's averaging just
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: under thirty points five rebounds a game this year. He's
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: really starting to heat up. Like it, like what he does,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: like this team a lot. They just gotta stay solid, man,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: they just gotta stay solid. And you know Dante DiVincenzo,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert who you know, listen, Rudy is what he
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: is because people are going to complain to guys, you know,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: seven and a half feet tall, you know, yet he
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: only averages eleven points, but he does give you the
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: eleven rebounds, defensive Player of the year, all that stuff.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: But I get it, I get it, you know. I
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: wish he would be able to, you know, throw in
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: some more points port you know, per game as well.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: But let's just see what happens here. Timberwolves looking good,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: and honestly, on a personal level, before I jump off
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: the Timberwolves here, I would really like to see them,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: you know, beyond the DP playoff run. I want to
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: see them finish in the top three. I really think
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: they have the talent to do it. I think they
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: can finish in the top three seed for the playoffs,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: and that would be my personal goal for them. That's
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: what I would like to see. Minnesota Wild well, on
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the two game losing streets, still got fifty eight points.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: You know, it's all about Colorado and the Central Division
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: right now. They got sixty nine points, Dallas with fifty eight,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: so just the nick behind them. Utah is a little
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: bit behind us. So really it's just the top three
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: in the Central Division because in a Pacific Division, I mean,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: what did I say, the Wild they got fifty eight
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: points sitting in third place in our division, Pacific Division
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: leaders Las Vegas only has forty six points. This needs
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: to be the year for a wild deep playoff run.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: No reason not to do it. Stop teasing the wild fans,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: make it happen, and just do it. No Nike infringement there.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: But honestly, what's the problem. It's time. As for my
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Blackhawks sitting once again way back with forty one points,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: they need an entire front office rehaul because you know,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: to be sitting here all these years after quote unquote
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: the glory days, the glory years, the playoff runs, the
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Stanley Cups, all that stuff to be this bad for
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: this long with for that fan base who, by the way,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: and by the way, the Blackhawks still live off all
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: that stuff. You know, they're bringing back all their you know,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Stanley Cup players and retiring jerseys and all this stuff,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: and then that's fine, but you know, give those fans
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: what they deserve as well. And I don't know if
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: this front office down there in Chicago right now is capable.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: So that's all I'm saying. There. Over in the East,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: look at the Detroit Red Wings fifty four points and
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay fifty five points, but the Red Wings have
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: the better records, so technically they're in first. In the Atlantic.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Canadians looking good. Defending Stanley Cup champions, Florida Panthers, you know,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: last ten for them, six three and one. They got
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: to get on a little bit, but they should be
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: there when it's said and done. Metropolitan Division got Carolina
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: on top again, the New York Islanders right behind them
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: with the Washington Capitals and the Philadelphia Flyers. So all right, folks,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: a very kind of quick jaunt around the sports world
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: here tonight on Neil Sports Done Right Podcast. I want
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: to thank you guys so much again for all your support,
• 23:25

• 23:27

• 23:30

• 23:32
