  • Thanks Eric & Rod!

    As a lifelong MSU fan born & raised in the Hoosier State, this is my go-to podcast for Sparty hoops. I appreciate Eric's organization & commentary, as well as Rod's in-depth & insightful analysis. As a former college hooper myself, it's clear that he's a student of the game, which makes it a lot more enjoyable to listen to, as opposed to so many other uninformed talking heads out there. Keep up the great work guys!

  • 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.
