Bonus: How did a premier college hockey match up end up on BTN plus? The Big Ten needs to do a better job showcasing college hockey. Our conference has 4 teams ranked in the top 10. Shameful.

1. Jeremy Fears, Coen Carr and Cam Ward are all HIM! 2. Izzo’s passion on the sideline is contagious to his team and the crowd. Football has been missing that fire for the last 4 years. 3. Amazing sweep of Penn State by MSU Hockey this weekend. Total domination on the ice!

MSU Basketball has a tough game this Saturday. Besides Darius Acuff, who is the other Razorback that MSU needs to shut down to get a victory? Is there any chance that Jorden Scott gets the start at the 2 spot?

And Sargent for the win in OT!

Kur Teng scores double digits in Mondays opener and will shoot 35 percent from the three point line.

Bonus Congratulations to MSU women’s soccer for punching their ticket to St.Louis. They will beat UCLA Thursday.

Was it the right move for the Lions to sign Hutchison to a 4 year guaranteed 141 million deal? He’s good player but these short sighted contracts always come back to hurt Detroit. This Lions pass rush is average and a contract like this says they are not going to invest in upgrading the defense.

Based on reports from the UConn game do you see the possibility of Jordan Scott playing both the two and the three position this season? For both you and Jason. On a scale of 1-10 what is MSU Football’s chance of winning 3 of the next 4 games to earn a bowl bid?

3. Nice comeback win by the Red Wings last Saturday. Playoffs or bust!
Bonus: Thank you MSU Hockey for bringing some joy to my otherwise depressing weekend! Another sweep! Let’s go!

1. Joe Rossi will finish the season as MSUs head football coach.
2. Congratulations to MSU women’s soccer for securing the no 2 seed in the Big Tournament. The Spartans will win the Big Ten tournament to secure a 3 seed in the NCAA.

Coming out of the BG game who was your biggest concern defensively for MSU basketball?
Fill in the blank. For MSU to win Saturday UofM needs to …..

3. Congratulations to to MSU volleyball for a nice bounce back win against Maryland on Sunday. This team has heart and tenacity and they get it from their coach. Bonus: Let Kristen Kelsay give the half time speech to the football team to inspire them to play two halves of football this Saturday!

1. J Batt needs to secure a minimum of 100 million dollars in additional revenue for football every year if MSU is to compete for championships.
2. Outstanding sweep of Boston by MSU hockey. This team is faster and has more depth than last year. Frozen four here we come!

I am seeing a lot of social media about Izzo calling for Spartan Nation to support Johnathon Smith. Does Izzo really believe he is the guy?

On this hot take Monday I am going to be positive
1. Cam Ward makes the all big ten freshman team. 2 MSU women’s basketball sweeps USC and UCLA this season. 3.Grace VanSlooten logs in 10 double doubles this season. Bonus Jackson Kohler makes first team all big ten.

Great pickup for Izzo getting Julius Avent! Does this increase MSU’s odds for landing Jasiah Jarvis in the 2026 class? Graham, have you or would you spend the night at the Izzone camp out? I am sure you would be comfortable all through the night in your musk ox flannel.

Double Bonus: Congratulations to MSU women’s Soccer for wins over MN and Wisconsin! The Spartan ladies are taking care of business!

Bonus. Congratulations to MSU volleyball for a an awesome shut out match against Michigan!

1 Rossi successfully schemes pressure against Raiola. MSU wins by 3. 2. Penn State takes an unexpected loss because of its mediocre offense and drops out of the top 10.
3 MSU men’s soccer grabs some coaches votes for their wins against 2 top 5 teams last week!

What progress has been made by the athletic department to increase revenue? Especially for football? As of today I have heard nothing about big donations, corporate partners or sponsorships. So far all that has happened is more expensive concessions and increased ticket prices.

This loss stings even more because of Indiana’s success. The fact that a basketball ball school has surpassed us in finances and the transfer portal is inexcusable.
Bonus: Congrats to MSU women’s volleyball A 10-0 start this season!

Fill in the blank. For MSU to beat USC the coaching staff needs to ?

3. Mr. Batt, please use your connections at North Carolina to hire back Amber Rinestine.
Bonus: Congrats to MSU Volleyball on their 7-0 start this season!

1. Joe Rossi needs to find the Conner Cook of pass rushers on this defense. Someone who doesn’t practice well but is a real gamer! 2. Allocate more funds to strength and conditioning. Injuries to starters early in the season are a problem every year!

Graham appreciate your efforts to find and read my takes! 😂

In his press conference, Johnathon Smith talked about continuing rotations in the offensive line. How concerned should we be that there still seems to be a lack of separation?

1.Ryan Eckley is our best defensive player. 2. Chiles proved he can be a clutch QB. 3. Bryce Underwood’s performance in Norman was “Just Fine”.
Bonus: That freakish NFL float commercial was generated by the same deepfake AI that creates MAGA fake news and Taylor Swift porn photos. Gross

Whoops too late, at this point my takes is probably similar to everyone else’s “what was that in the second half”!

Excited for the MSU opener. My favorite that I attended was against USC in 87, my senior year at MSU. You could tell that defense was special, with Percy Snow and Kurt Larson in the line backing core. Jason and Graham what is your favorite MSU opening game that you remember, live or TV?

1. Omari Keely returns a punt for a touchdown against Western Michigan.
2. MSUs defense holds Western to 2 field goals.
3. MSUs defense has 3 interceptions against the Broncos. 

Bonus: The Buckeyes beat Texas by 3 on Saturday.

Graham, I enjoyed your reading your interview with Jonathon Smith. If you could have a deep dive interview with one other member of his Coaching staff, who would it be and why?
