    Much better listening to these guys than the king of arrogance Brian Cook (mgoblog).

    Yay Alex!

  • Poor representation of MSU

    This podcast pains me to listen to. As a Spartan alumni, hearing these boys completely unearned arrogance, if nothing else, gives me a bad feeling of the future of MSU. It’s tough, I know they are trying to be funny but they just aren’t.
