Mel Tucker's final MSU football preseason press conference; Getting to know WMU football Aug 30, 2022

Show notes

The last "Monday's with Mel" press conference of Michigan State football's off-season took place, and we take a look at what was said (and not said) by Mel Tucker. Will Jayden Reed be the surefire punt returner, and any final words on MSU's offensive line?

And we start to get to know the Western Michigan football team ahead of Friday's kickoff at Spartan Stadium. What will the offense look like, and how much of the focus will be on wide receiver Corey Crooms?

We also end with a few listener questions, from how many players would we hypothetically bring back (with a caveat!) and the team's entrance song.

Breaking down the Big Ten football season from Michigan State to our Big Ten best bets for 2022 Aug 25, 2022

Show notes

"Big Ten Ben" returns to the show as Ben Stevens of SportsGrid's "The Morning After" and the upcoming weekly show "College Football Today" to breakdown the 2022 Big Ten football season.

Of course, we start off with Michigan State banter but we also take a peak around the rest of the midwest. What would Ohio State have to do in week one to have us believe MSU (or another team) can win the Big Ten East? Which team is the biggest question mark? And which team will be the most electric to watch this season?

To end the show, we go over our best bets for win totals from the stone-cold lock of OSU over 10.5 wins to prediction a Big Ten West team to go under four wins.
