About this episode
We dug into our hot takes and yours – on MSU football and hoops, including Suzy Merchant's departure and how Mel Tucker should be judged, on the pitfalls and future of NIL, on the Tigers' chances of winning the division, the Lions' evaluation of Jared Goff and more. Plus, a couple stories worth telling, including The Rube's harsh words for a judge that got him thrown in jail.
