Studies show tweeting at recruits is 98% effective at influencing the decision of an 18 year old. Outstanding!

Studies also show people who believe that also are dumb enough to tweet at recruits.

MSF Daily tag-teamed by Johnny Minnesota (@MNsportsNstuff) & The Boss@RealMNSportsFan

We have some fun in our first full-length podcast.

In the first half of the show we talk the state of Gopher Basketball and Football along with our love for both coaches compared to those who came before them.

In the second half Eric flip-flops on Teddy vs Case and we talk the Vikings’ chances for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

The entire time, Brandon is battling sickness but NOT the restriction of a shirt.
