The Hockey Guys: Rivalries, Legends & College Hockey Heat
The boys are back — beers cracked, mics hot, and the Ralph Ingstad Arena still ringing after UND’s victory over the Gophers. In this electric episode of The Hockey Guys, the crew breaks down the Sioux–Gopher rivalry with equal parts banter, nostalgia, and hockey IQ.
Coach Dane Jackson (🕐 ~9:12 AM) joins to dissect UND’s dominant play and share his locker-room insights — from mental toughness to power-play tweaks and the art of staying calm in the chaos. Later, legendary broadcaster Wally Shaver (🕐 ~9:35 AM) takes listeners through his four-decade career, recounting stories from the Herkus Circus to lessons from his father, North Stars announcer Al Shaver.
The episode wraps with talk of emerging NCAA talent, CCHA shake-ups, women’s hockey dynasties, and a toast to the listeners who make Saturday mornings great.
How Colfax Built Housing, Community, And Hope
What does it really take to keep a small town alive—and help it grow? We sit down with developer and community leader Nathan Burseth to unpack how Colfax, North Dakota, paired housing with heart to attract families, remote workers, and retirees while strengthening its school and tax base. From the first 15 lots to multiple phases in Colfax Meadows, to the shop-friendly Trackside, to the barn dominium-focused Reserve, Nathan shows how choice, covenants, and city services create real momentum without losing the rural feel people love.
We dig into the practical playbook: municipal water and sewer on large lots, creative architecture with many builders, and fiber internet that lets Minneapolis or Chicago professionals work from the prairie. Nathan explains how a diversion settlement funded county-wide housing initiatives, reducing risk for builders and banks, and why home rehabilitation is a powerful lever for affordability and neighborhood renewal. Each new household matters; just a few students can change a district’s budget, keeping class sizes small and opportunities wide.
Community culture ties it together. The Richland 44 Foundation’s scholarships—up to $10,000 per graduate—plus a new events venue keep resources flowing to students and teachers, from dual-credit support to classroom tech. Add pheasants at dusk, kids biking to the pool, and a 20-minute interstate drive to Fargo’s jobs and concerts, and you have a compelling mix of small-town life with big-city access. If you care about the future of rural America—or you’re searching for a home where values and opportunity align—this conversation brings a blueprint you can use. Subscribe, share with a friend who’s “small-town curious,” and leave a review with the one idea your community should try next.

Rocky’s Downtown Hour Episode 026: Trails, Triumphs & the Fargo Mini Marathon Revival
This week on Rocky’s Downtown Hour, host Rocky Schneider takes us on a journey through downtown Fargo’s outdoor spirit — from its bustling Broadway sidewalks to the hidden beauty of the river trails. With the Fargo Mini Marathon making a triumphant return after a five-year hiatus, Rocky chats with James Botnan about bringing back the race, honoring the late Mark Knutson’s Shoes for Kids Legacy Fund, and how nearly 900 runners are reigniting Fargo’s fitness community.
Then, Sally Loeffler, co-owner of Beyond Running, shares what it takes to keep a running store thriving downtown for nearly two decades, plus tips for staying active through the changing seasons. And finally, Patrick Crary joins live from the construction site of Fargo’s newest beginner-friendly mountain bike trail — a community-driven project turning riverfront greenspace into a hub for family adventure and confidence-building rides.
🏃♀️ From marathon memories to mountain bike magic, this episode celebrates how Fargo’s downtown isn’t just about buildings — it’s about movement, connection, and making the outdoors everyone’s playground.
