After a lull in live sports on our stations Friday night, we will return strong with a number of games on our airwaves Saturday and Sunday. Here's a look at what to listen for this weekend.
This week, Jay and Dave talk about college football's struggles with COVID, the Vikings' disappointing loss to the Cowboys and where they go from here and a lot more.
The cancellation means Wisconsin will not be eligible to win the Big Ten West title due to an insufficient number of games played this season. The Badgers previously had two games cancelled due to their own COVID outbreak.
This week on "Ovie and The Franchise," Dave and Jay break down the benefits and possible drawbacks of switching the Saints' affiliation from independent to affiliated baseball, Dalvin Cook's beast mode running the last two weeks, whether college football should even be playing and when (if?) the NHL will ever come back.
Gophers play-by-play voice Mike Grimm joined WJON's "Hang Up and Listen" Thursday to talk about the upcoming season, where the team might have some holes to fill, the impact of quarterback Tanner Morgan, where the Gophers stand in the Big Ten pecking order and what to expect from St. Cloud's Brevyn Spann-Ford.
University of Minnesota wide receiver Rashod Bateman has been cleared by the NCAA to rejoin the Gophers after previously deciding to sit out the season to prepare for the NFL Draft.
The Big Ten has reportedly reverse its decision to postpone the 2020 football season to the spring. The conference will begin play on October 24th, according to ESPN.
Ovie and The Franchise is a weekly podcast with Dave Overlund and Jay Caldwell dedicated to the world of local, state and national sports (when they actually play). The show can be heard online and on WJON.
