  • Love it

    These guys have awesome big ten previews every year, and they even end up getting me to listen to a few MSU episodes each season as well. Go Big Red

  • Rod is too much of a truth guy

    I love this podcast. Would not change i thing. Best msu podcast ever! Keep it up! But rod doesnt complain on a 50/50 way of looking at it. For example, the loss to wisconsin in the btt semis, i know that tonje’s reach probably was clean. But the refs were abysmal that game, we need to blame them. Even if they were kind of right.

  • This podcast is specifically for Michigan State basketball. It is head & shoulders above any other MSU podcast. They bring honest criticism & leveled perspective. They don't blow sunshine but they aren't unrealistic with their expectations. I absolutely love their detailed, in-depth analysis.
