Show notes

MSU football started its week hot with another top 400-rated commit in the 2023 class as 4-star Jayvant Brown committed to the Spartans late Sunday night. Where does MSU stand nationally and within its own conference now? And did Mel Tucker have anything interesting to say during his weekly press conference (spoiler: maybe a package we'll see plenty of this weekend).

REACTION: MSU football chops down Rutgers; MSU basketball falls to Gonzaga Nov 13, 2022

Show notes

MSU football notches its second-straight victory to get one game closer to a bowl game as they beat Rutgers, 27-21. We saw plenty of new things, from Rutgers players having career games to Spartan players shining on Saturday.

We also talk about the emergence of Avery Dunn, where MSU is projected to play its bowl game and take a peek ahead at Indiana.

We then talk about MSU basketball's tough loss to Gonzaga and debate whether a moral victory can be taken from that game at all.

Show notes

Let's kick off the weekend by breaking down this big game between Michigan State and Rutgers as both teams are looking for two more wins to clinch a bowl game bid. What does Rutgers do well (or not so well) on both offense and defense, and what do we want to see from the Spartans ahead of this matchup?

And we get into the MSU vs. Gonzaga game on the aircraft carrier as well. What will make this game so difficult for the Spartans, and is there a hole they can exploit with Gonzaga?

MSU basketball recruiting inks historic class; MSU football bowl projections; Is Scottie Hazelton safe?? Nov 10, 2022

Show notes

MSU basketball's 2023 class made it official as all four kids turned in their letter of intent early Wednesday to officially give the Spartans the No. 3-rated class in the country. What does each kid bring to the table, what did Tom Izzo have to say about each player and how does MSU also stack up in the Big Ten?

We then look at bowl game projections for the Spartans, and there's a common theme amongst the seven outlets we looked at. Is a middling bowl game still good, and what are the benefits?

Also, with the recent success of the defense...could Scottie Hazelton's job be safe after this season???

And we answer a listener question about where MSU basketball should play, from the Superior Dome to Radio City Music Hall.

MSU basketball beats NAU; MSU football talk, more Illinois talk and Dante Moore with Stephen Brooks Nov 08, 2022

Show notes

MSU basketball tips off its season with a drama-free win against Northern Arizona thanks to early stout defense and solid performances all around. What takeaways can we have from this game, and just how crucial will AJ Hoggard be for this team?

Stephen Brooks of 247Sports also joins the show to talk about what he heard at Mel Tucker’s weekly press conference, from suspended player news to what was going on at the end of that game.

We then rehash some of the defining moments from Saturday’s win and talk about what was the most impressive part of the afternoon.

And before letting Stephen go…DANTE MOORE TALK, BABY!

REACTION: MSU football stuns Illinois to get back into bowl game talk Nov 06, 2022

Show notes

For the third straight season, MSU football went on the road against a top 25 team and came out with a win. We go through how improbable this victory was while giving MASSIVE credit to the players and coaching staff for grinding out a win that gets MSU back into bowl game talks.

We also point out Xavier Henderson, who is the perfect example of a player you want in your program for more reasons than one. Also, what are MSU's chances of making a bowl game?

And we have to talk about the last two minutes of the game where Mel Tucker and Co. once again showed alarming late-game management.

Oh, and Bret Bielema...let's look inward instead of blaming our players being injured for the loss?

OH YEAH, MSU BASKETBALL STARTS ON MONDAY TOO!

MSU football vs. Illinois preview; Jaden Akins return update; MSU football recruiting news; Dantonio to blame for rivalry tension?? Nov 04, 2022

Show notes

MSU football has a big one on Saturday as they take on an Illinois team in the midst of a dream season. What is going to make this game so difficult for the Spartans, and what hope do they have entering Saturday's game?

And we kick off the second segment shouting out two MSU programs excelling in women's soccer and cross country.

Then we get into some news on Jaden Akins and his time table to returning to the court -- could he be returning next week?

And with the recent decommitment of Bo Edmundson, is the sky falling for MSU recruiting? And what's the plan now?

And to round out the show...are Michigan fans correct when blaming Mark Dantonio for the tension in this rivalry? (Spoiler: lol no)

MSU football preview: Get to know Illinois football, Chase Brown, the Illini defense and more Nov 03, 2022

Show notes

Drew Pastorek of the Champaign Room SBNation website and Oskee Talk podcast joins the show to talk about MSU's upcoming opponent in the Illinois Fighting Illini. I'm sorry...THE 7-1 ILLINOIS FIGHTING ILLINI.

How are Illini fans feeling for this game and just their dream season in general? And is there the feeling of trap game potential ahead of this one for the home team?

We also get into what is making Illinois' defense the best in the country, from defensive coordinator Ryan Walters to the players getting the job done.

And to round out the show, let's shine a light on the Illinois offense as well with its star running back Chase Brown and sneakily efficient quarterback Tommy Devito.
