  • Delusion and sour grapes

    The old timer in particular is insanely delusional. Never credits the other teams for when State lose. It’s always State didn’t do this, they failed to do that, not understanding that the other team is the reason for the failings. Typical State stuff, really.

  • 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.
