Summary
The Wisconsin Badgers lost in the NCAA Championship on Saturday night to Denver in hockey. As a Gophers fan, is it okay to celebrate Wisconsin’s “failure” even if our favorite team has been done playing for over a month? Can the Gophers be in the national championship next year under Brett Larson? Is Cade Tyson going to be drafted in the upcoming NBA Draft? Finally, the Spring Game is just days away. Ross and Manny dive deep into Minnesota Golden Gophers athletics.

We'll touch on other things when it warrants it and when it merits it. But yeah, Manny and I were texting back and forth and we're like, well, we should probably do a pod.
