Corey gives us the latest on MSU football recruiting in what is a very important month of visits in June

June 8, 2023: We continue our summer off-season discussions about the Spartans and Big Ten as Rod gives us his rankings of Big Ten coaches. You might be surprised with the order although there's a very good chance that you can guess who tops the list of Big Ten coaches. In fact, Rod argues that the gap between 1 and 2 is bigger than 2 and the rest of the field as Izzo is the top coach by every metric. Are you looking for Spartan gear? There's only one place to go to get your MSU T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts — Nudge Printing. (https://www.nudgeprinting.com) Nudge is owned and operated by Gabe and Brittany, two MSU alums. The business is operated out of Michigan and screen prints super high quality products. They also have a large assortment of apparel for other schools as well as stickers for your wall, car, or computer. You can also buy our merchandise to sport around town where all the sales proceeds go to support the show. If you have a home in Michigan you know the importance of clearing water efficiently away from your home off the roof. Unfortunately, the outdoor beauty of Michigan means you have to deal with leaves and debris that pile up in your gutters. Sometimes, those gutters also can't keep up with the rain or leave puddles by your foundation.  If you live in the Grand Rapids area (Muskegon to Saugatuck to Rockford to Lowell) contact Kurt Stauffer at the Brothers that Just Do Gutters. (https://www.brothersgutters.com/grand-rapids-mi/). If you're anywhere in the metro Detroit area the Brothers have you covered too! (https://www.brothersgutters.com/metro-detroit-mi/).

Owen Finnerty has a superb day in goal for MSU

Things Discussed: HAIL TO THE VICTORS 2023!!!! Josh Wallace: David Long but normal speed. Olivier Nkamhoua: The *Perfect* pickup for them. Sucks that they couldn't add him to Dickinson but he's exactly what they need to reshape this into a switchable defense, and can score and pass. Big Ten scheduling: Will announce today that they're going to a flex model with no divisions. Possibility of playing OSU 3x/year. Craig hates being locked in with MSU but we're stuck with them. Brian hates night games. Seth hates replays and advocates again for the Showcase idea where you play the best games that weren't played. Sam thinks this is just a stopgap because they wanted to get rid of divisions that put Purdue in the championship game, and they're not done adding teams. This system won't last more than a year or two. Will USC play Michigan? When you join the Big Ten, you get to play Michigan. When Penn State joined the Big Ten, they got to play Michigan. When Michigan State joined the Big Ten, they got to play Michigan. When they formed the Big Ten, it was so Chicago could play Michigan. Lionel Messi. Brian has advice for the women of Miami.

Marc speaks with William A. Jacobson, Clinical Professor and Director of the Securities Law Clinic at Cornell Law School about how MSU was hit with civil rights complaint alleging school's business boot camp discriminated against white males.

Huge Big Ten news dropped as the 2024-25 football scheduling formats and erasure of divisions was announced by the conference. How did Michigan State fare in this shake-up, and do we like the way things are looking for the Big Ten in the future? And in the midst of all of that, cornerback Terry Roberts commits to MSU! We then take a look at MSU football recruiting as they go into their second official visit weekend. We go through who will be there, including Jamari Howard, Nathan Roy, Anthony Carrie and more. To end the show we dive into the mailbag and wonder if Keon Coleman was telling the truth in a recent podcast and what Mel Tucker has done best behind the scenes at MSU.

#112 A group known as the Equal Protection Project has filed a complaint against MSU for disrcriminating against white males. Yes, you read that right. The discrimination was against white males. You see, there was a business booster program of sorts that was only open to people of color or women. So EPP felt that was unfair and illegal. In this episode, I get into why I feel this complaint is just WRONG on so many levels! You might disagree, but I can't see how. Listen in, leave a comment and see if you change your mind. One thing for sure, you'll know exactly where I stand!

Blake reacts to the breaking news out of the SEC as the league announced they are utilizing an eight game schedule for 2024, the first season that Texas and Oklahoma join the league. With national reporters taking shots at the SEC, Blake outlines why they're missing the bigger picture of why the league chose a one-off season of eight games instead of jumping straight to nine.

May 31, 2023: On the cusp of the deadline to withdraw from the NBA draft and maintain your eligibility, MSU guards Jaden Akins and AJ Hoggard both announced they will return for the 2023-24 MSU Spartans season. Their return brings a lot of experience, talent, production, and potential upside assuming Akins plays the entire year without injury. Coupling their return with Hall and Walker taking their COVID years and a top 6 recruiting class, and Michigan State is set for very successful year. The biggest questions with the return of the two players is how are the minutes going to get delegated? We are unlikely to see 35+ minutes from any of the starters as we did last year. Also, it seems to go without mention that it should look like a more typical MSU team with a faster pace and a reemphasis towards running and rebounding. At this way too early to know time of the preseason it is reasonable to think just about anything is on the table for expectations with this team. Are you looking for Spartan gear? There's only one place to go to get your MSU T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts — Nudge Printing. (https://www.nudgeprinting.com) Nudge is owned and operated by Gabe and Brittany, two MSU alums. The business is operated out of Michigan and screen prints super high quality products. They also have a large assortment of apparel for other schools as well as stickers for your wall, car, or computer. You can also buy our merchandise to sport around town where all the sales proceeds go to support the show. If you have a home in Michigan you know the importance of clearing water efficiently away from your home off the roof. Unfortunately, the outdoor beauty of Michigan means you have to deal with leaves and debris that pile up in your gutters. Sometimes, those gutters also can't keep up with the rain or leave puddles by your foundation.  If you live in the Grand Rapids area (Muskegon to Saugatuck to Rockford to Lowell) contact Kurt Stauffer at the Brothers that Just Do Gutters. (https://www.brothersgutters.com/grand-rapids-mi/). If you're anywhere in the metro Detroit area the Brothers have you covered too! (https://www.brothersgutters.com/metro-detroit-mi/).

We've got smattering of MSU football tidbits to get to starting with going through where we want to see MSU football go from here in the portal. After shoring up depth with Jalen Sami and Alante Brown the last two weeks, what other positions need some attention as we go deeper into summer? We then get to another mailbag question to see who we think will be joining Tre Mosley as a starting receiver? And between Nathan Carter and Jalen Berger, who will get the bulk of the carries and how many will it be? We then rank the importance of MSU's home games for the upcoming season and then add a recruiting tidbit about top 200 prospect Nathan Roy. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
