Quotes from MSU football, 2023 national title odds and a look around MSU athletics Apr 06, 2022

Show notes

We riff on Keon Coleman and Maliq Carr as they get back to the MSU football team and wonder how much longer playing both basketball and football will last for the pair. We also riff on quotes on the wide receiver room, the defensive secondary and Bogle coming to MSU thanks to their media availability on Tuesday.

And then, it's never too early to look to the 2023 basketball season and ESPECIALLY looking at the betting odds, where MSU is sitting at 66/1. Are those good odds, and what does this say about MSU?

And finally, we shine some light on the great things happening with MSU golf, gymnastics, women's basketball and track and field.
