From blood diamonds to oil fields, from Dutch disease to national security, we explore how geop...

FBT PodcastFBT Podcast 30! - Purdue Recap and Michigan PreviewAll hail Mankato Jesus! MV and Frothy review and recap the breakout game for #PN9X, the five minute period in which time stood still and we were all peons at Michael Carter's mercy and more from the general dismantling of the Boilermakers. The crew also looks ahead to Denard and the Wolverines, a task that will be slightly more difficult than the Hapless Hopestaches.
2012-11-0242 minFBT PodcastFBT Podcast 29!MV and Frothy return, and boy, they are full of rage! The FBT duo cut a vein to the unholy trinity of angst and rancor clutching Gopher Nation this week: the expiration of Kill's honeymoon, #BetterDeadtThanRedshirted and the UNC series cancellation hullabaloo. If you're the type of Gopher fan that thrives on irrational behavior and knee jerk reactions in the heat of the moment, only to stubbornly not back down from said opinions after the dust has settled, than this podcast definitely isn't for you. No #SPROTSTAKES here, though Frothy lives up to his namesake late in the program and...

The former Mason era offensive linemen and captain shares his views on the current season and how Minnesota is faring on the field, relating some of his experiences during a similar rebuilding era to what he sees out of the current bunch. Derek and MV also get into a discussion of current personnel and their "fit" for the Kill program schemes, even disagreeing on the ideal position for a certain key player.

The FBT crew assembles to discuss the dominating performance of the Gopher defense in the 17-10 victory over Syracuse and just how real the defense is heading into the Big Ten schedule. The triumvirate also thoroughly evaluate Max Shortell's performance in his first start of the season, plus a collective gnashing of teeth (and keyboards) over special teams mishaps. This being HATEWEEK, a look at how Minnesota will match up against the quite surly and apoplectic Iowa Hawkeyes is also a heavy area of focus. In short, Minnesota's passing defense is BASED, while the...

Frothy, Elliot and MV go on to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the Gopher defense and what that may fortel going forward, plus good old fashioned schadenfreude at the expense of Wisconsin. Again. The WMU game and looking ahead to Syracuse are interwoven throughout the madness.

Among the topics discussed, the FBT crew handle MarQueis Gray's accuracy issues, the play of the defense, the awful sucking sound that was Rebel football and the things that both encourage and worry us moving forward this 2012 season.

Our attempt at satire fails miserably when our preparation and drive-by takes on the Big Ten end up sounding exactly like the folks we modestly ridicule. MV, as always, forgets peoples names right when they're on the tip of his tongue and shows the hallmark professional amateurism that is the FBT podcast. In the end, the MO of ripping on Wisconsin and Iowa, plus curmudgeonly thinking every other team in the conference isn't as good as their fall camp hype rules the 'cast. Enjoy your hot B1G #SPROTS!

2012-02-031h 22FBT PodcastFBT Podcast! - Episode 20MV brings on Derek Burns -- former Gopher captain and 3 year starter along the offensive line (1999-2001) -- to talk about his perspective on the Jerry Kill era of Gopher football. Burns also breaks down everything you'd possibly want to know about offensive line blocking schemes and fundamentals, especially since the schemes between Matt Limegrover and Gordie Shaw/Glen Mason are very similar. Derek even tips listeners in on how different types of running backs are perhaps better suited for a given offensive line's stage of development than others.
