  • 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

  • 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
