The Bison are back in the win column—and an old rival is waiting in the desert! 🦬🏈 TJ and Tim recap NDSU’s bounce-back win before turning their attention to Jason Eck and the New Mexico Lobos. Eck’s squad brings the No. 1 defense in FBS into Saturday’s showdown with No. 2. Points could be harder to find than a quiet Bison fan on game day. Can NDSU keep the momentum rolling, protect the football, and grind out a road win? And the question nobody can ignore: Will Coach Eck bring back the turnover belt—or will the Bison make sure it stays in the closet? 😂 Two tough defenses. One familiar foe. Expect a fistfight on the scoreboard and plenty of opinions from TJ and Tim.  🎧 Listen to Bison Bitz on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeartRadio, part of the Beer Belly Sports Radio Network. 📻 Listen live at BBSportsMN.com⁠. #BisonBitz #NDSU #BisonFootball #GoBison #NDSUFootball #NewMexicoLobos #MountainWestFootball #CollegeFootball #FearTheFCS #BeerBellySports #BBSRN Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-belly-sports-radio-network--5080802/support.

Minnesota takes down the Saints 23-10, keeping the undefeated season alive while leaving plenty of questions on offense. As for Kyler Murray… wellllll… we’ll let Justin handle that conversation. 😂 Plus, “The Good, The Bad and The Ekstrom” returns! Even at 5-0, there’s plenty to celebrate, plenty to criticize, and plenty for Justin to get off his chest. Now it’s the bye week. Can the offense finally figure things out? Can the defense get some rest after carrying this team? And what do we do without Vikings football?

What happened in Vegas… unfortunately counts in the standings. 🦬🎰 On this edition of Bison Bitz, TJ and Tim break down NDSU’s first loss as an FBS program, what went wrong against UNLV, and what the Bison need to clean up moving forward. Now it’s back to the Fargodome, where Nevada comes to town and the Bison have some frustration to take out on the Wolf Pack. Can NDSU bounce back and make Nevada wish it had stayed home? Plus, Tim works “root hog” into the conversation. You’ll have to listen to find out how that happened. 😂  🎧 Find Bison Bitz on the Beer Belly Sports podcast feed on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeartRadio. #BisonBitz #BeerBellySports #BBSRN #NDSU #BisonFootball #GoBison #NevadaWolfPack #MountainWest #CollegeFootball #Fargodome #RootHog Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-belly-sports-radio-network--5080802/support.

🏈 From bringing home the Jug to getting absolutely throttled by Purdue… what the hell, Gophers?!  On this episode of Gophers After Dark, Vince Wright unloads after Minnesota follows its huge win over Michigan with a painfully disappointing performance against the Boilermakers. Just when Gopher fans start feeling good, this team gives them another reason to yell at the TV. Where was the team that beat Michigan? How do you follow that win with THIS? Vince breaks down the letdown, shares his frustrations, and lets you know exactly how he feels.  The lights are low, but Vince’s blood pressure sure isn’t. 🔥 🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeartRadio through the Beer Belly Sports Radio Network. #GophersAfterDark #VinceWright #GophersFootball #SkiUMah #MinnesotaGophers #BigTenFootball #BeerBellySports #BBSRN #SemiProOfSportsTalk Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-belly-sports-radio-network--5080802/support.

The Vikings beat Miami 15–10 at home, but that offense has us testing the limits of “positivity.” Will Reichard keeps putting points on the board while everyone else apparently thinks the end zone requires a reservation. 😂 Justin Ekstrom breaks down the ugly win, the offensive struggles, and Minnesota’s latest move: bringing in Odell Beckham Jr. Can OBJ give this offense a spark, or are we asking Will Reichard to kick field goals AND play receiver? We also welcome back the segment “The Good, The Bad and The Ekstrom”—and after that Dolphins game, Justin’s got plenty of material for the “bad.” Next up: the New Orleans Saints, fresh off getting their asses kicked by the Falcons. Can the Vikings finally get the offense rolling, or are we in for another three-hour blood pressure test? 🎙️ Purple Positivity with Justin Ekstrom 🍕 Presented by 7th Avenue Pizza 📻 Part of the Beer Belly Sports Radio Network #PurplePositivity #TheGoodTheBadAndTheEkstrom #JustinEkstrom #BeerBellySports #BBSRN #7thAvenuePizza #MinnesotaVikings #Vikings #Skol #SkolNation #VikingsFootball #VikingsFans #PurpleAndGold #MinnesotaSports #WillReichard #OdellBeckhamJr #OBJ #VikingsVsSaints #NewOrleansSaints #NFL #NFLFootball #FootballTalk #SportsPodcast #VikingsPodcast #SportsTalk #SemiProOfSportsTalk Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-belly-sports-radio-network--5080802/support.

The Bison handled business at their own homecoming—now it’s time to crash somebody else’s party! 🦬🎰 On this edition of Bison Bitz, TJ and Tim recap NDSU’s homecoming win before turning their attention to Las Vegas, where a talented UNLV squad presents the Bison’s biggest test yet. Can NDSU spoil the Rebels’ homecoming and leave town with more than a buffet receipt? The guys break down the matchup, what the Bison need to do to win, and why this is the week to push the chips to the middle. “Scared money don’t make money.” Let’s see if the Bison can cash in! 🤘  #BisonBitz #BeerBellySports #BBSRN #NDSU #BisonFootball #GoBison #UNLV #MountainWest #CollegeFootball #ScaredMoneyDontMakeMoney Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-belly-sports-radio-network--5080802/support.

But enjoy the Jug for a minute… because there’s another Big Ten game right around the corner. 👀 Purdue is next — and DON’T SLEEP ON THE BOILERMAKERS. Vince looks ahead at the matchup, what Minnesota needs to avoid after such an emotional win, and why coming down from the Michigan high might be just as important as the win itself. 🏆 Little Brown Jug: HOME. 〽️ Michigan: BEATEN. 🚂 Next stop: Purdue.

Justin Ekstrom is back for another edition of Purple Positivity, and even he’s a little surprised by how the Vikings have gotten here. Minnesota is sitting at 3-0, but it hasn’t exactly been because the offense has been lighting up the scoreboard. Instead, the defense and special teams have been absolutely carrying the load, making big plays and giving the Vikings everything they need to keep stacking wins. So now the question becomes…  Is THIS the week the offense finally explodes? 👀 The 0-3 Miami Dolphins come to town, and Justin breaks down whether this could finally be the matchup where the Vikings offense puts together a complete game and joins the defense and special teams in the fun.  Can Minnesota move to 4-0? Can the offense finally break out? And how real is this undefeated start?  Justin gives his thoughts on all of it in the newest episode of Purple Positivity! 🍕 Purple Positivity is brought to you by 7th Avenue Pizza! 🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify & iHeartRadio through the Beer Belly Sports Radio Network. 💜💛 Purple and gold until he’s dead and cold. #PurplePositivity #Skol #Vikings #MinnesotaVikings #NFL #MiamiDolphins #BeerBellySports #BBSRN #SemiProOfSportsTalk #7thAvenuePizza Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-belly-sports-radio-network--5080802/support.

Justin Ekstrom is back with another episode of Purple Positivity, and this week he’s got a little explaining to do. 😅  First up, Justin recaps the Vikings vs. Bears matchup — and apparently there’s one Vikings player who deserves an apology after Justin spent some time talking a little too much smack about him. 👀 Then it’s on to Week 3 as the Vikings get ready for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Justin isn’t exactly sold on Kyler Murray stepping back into the starting role, and he’s got plenty of questions about what this Vikings offense will look like. On the other side, Tampa Bay enters the game 0-2 and dealing with plenty of injuries. Can the Vikings defense take advantage, get after the quarterback, and make Sunday miserable for the Bucs? Justin breaks it all down — the good, the bad, the injuries, the matchup, and whether he’s feeling that Purple Positivity heading into Week 3. 🍕 Purple Positivity is brought to you by 7th Avenue Pizza! 🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify & iHeartRadio through the Beer Belly Sports Radio Network.  💜 Purple and gold until he’s dead and cold. #PurplePositivity #Skol #Vikings #MinnesotaVikings #NFL #Week3 #BeerBellySports #BBSRN #SemiProOfSportsTalk #7thAvenuePizza Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-belly-sports-radio-network--5080802/support.
