  • Matt is Him

    Matt continuously vocalizes everything us Spartan fans are feeling and need to hear. His enthusiasm is unmatched and he’s helped me stay entertained during the down times.

  • Solid

    A very die hard fan as a host. I am also die hard but not as biased as Matt is. I wish he would be more realistic at times. This basketball team could go 6-5 just as easily as 11-0 down the stretch. I think 7-4 is much more likely. There’s still obvious holes in this team which Matt heavily ignores. Great morale boost if you like to hype MSU up

  • The Sky is Falling

    If you are looking for a moral boost, or a “silver lining” pep talk, go somewhere else. The host is a die hard fan who wears his emotions on his sleeve, much like the rest of us diehards. Although the sky is always falling when we lose a game, we at least learn why msu lost and what the team can do to improve. And man this guy can celebrate when we win. Also, ignore the “too many ads” reviews. There are the right amount of ads to pay for the costs of the show and the ads can easily be skipp... more

  • Would be better if the host was a fan of the team

    The host has a lot of great information and gives a lot of optimism for Michigan State athletics. Unfortunately, he also admits to regularly betting against the football team, doesn’t go to any games, and is poor at responding to listener emails. The content, however, keeps me listening to the podcast.
