  • Getting ready for hoops season

    First of all, thank you for putting so much content out there about MSU sports. I tuned in for the first time in a while as it’s been a long year as a Michigan State football fan, and I was looking forward to turning the page and hearing a little excitement about hoops, after going to the first game against Colgate. Yes the basketball team has things to work on, but as a Michigan State fan, the team has a couple exciting freshmen, pretty good returning core, and I think fans in general are ready... more

  • 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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SPARTAN HOPE: Where Michigan State football could have UPPER HAND vs. Notre Dame w/ former MSU TE Matt Seybert
Q: How has the tight end room evolved, and who should we watch?
Savoury has emerged as a threat in the passing game while Parachek has grown in blocking and physicality, which could lead to expanded roles as the season progresses.
SPARTAN HOPE: Where Michigan State football could have UPPER HAND vs. Notre Dame w/ former MSU TE Matt Seybert
Q: What gives you the most hope for Michigan State in this game?
Two things stand out: the improved run defense that has limited opponents and the dramatic turnaround of special teams, which could flip field position and add a spark if the game stays low-scoring.
HEAVY LOAD: MSU football puts SPOTLIGHT on Cam Edwards, Jayden Savoury DELIVERS early
Q: Austin, do you want to play a game that we've already teased?
Yes, let's go into the Concern or Not a Concern format to assess Cam Edwards' workload, the OL's cohesion, and Savory's early contributions.
LOCK?: Reasons to BELIEVE (and not) in MSU football hitting OVER 4.5 wins; How DANGEROUS is Toledo?
Q: What should really scare Michigan State fans the most this week?
Emma notes the combination of new coaching staff, significant roster turnover, and the potential growing pains in chemistry between quarterback and receivers as major concerns, while still acknowledging potential upside if the run game and offensive line improve.
BOLD(ish) PREDICTIONS: MSU football run game set for REVIVAL; Where Pat Fitzgerald STACKS UP
Q: What would be the biggest factor for MSU to pull off a win over Oregon and Washington, back-to-back?
The key would be a strong run game complemented by improved pass protection and quarterback efficiency, building from last year's experiences and the coaching changes.
