H&H Podcast: Are the Vikings Done? Gophers Falling? Hoops Taking Over?

In the latest episode of the H&H Podcast, Ahmad Hicks and Henry Lake dive into a familiar storyline: the Vikings’ ongoing offensive struggles. From inconsistent drives to missed opportunities, the guys break down why Minnesota’s offense continues to sputter — and why this weekend’s matchup against Green Bay is shaping up to be a must-win. They also tackle the growing backlash toward J.J. McCarthy after his 50% completion day in the Vikings’ 19–17 loss to the Bears. Hicks pushes back on the “bust” label being thrown around just five games into McCarthy’s career, arguing fans demand instant success that isn’t realistic for young players. Lake agrees, but says some criticism is fair — and that McCarthy still needs to elevate his play as the season begins slipping away. Shifting to college football, the Gophers dropped another matchup against a top-10 opponent, and once again they looked outmatched. Both Hicks and Lake acknowledge the strong culture P.J. Fleck has built, but say the program urgently needs signature wins. In today’s NIL-driven era, fans want more than competitive culture — they want results. On the hardwood, optimism is high. The Gopher women’s basketball team is undefeated and playing deep into their rotation. With a healthy Mara Braun and Dawn Plitzuweit entering year three, Hicks believes this squad is poised to break into the Top 25 and stay there. Lake adds that fans should jump on the bandwagon early for both the men’s and women’s teams, noting that success under Medved and Plitzuweit may be coming sooner than people think.
