Baby Grooch has arrived, Kevin is on FMLA, and Michigan State got absolutely torched in Madison — so it's business as usual on Can't Read, Can't Write. Mike and Plum break down a brutal loss in Wisconsin (51-34 at the half says everything you need to know), dig into the coaching carousel with new QB coach John McNulty and RB coach Travis Russell — both with uncomfortable Michigan ties — and rant about a CBS listicle that had the audacity to give Kyle Whittingham an A.

Hockey's rolling, Notre Dame's coming to town, and the guys preview two must-win games against UCLA and Ohio State. Off Grand River, a Providence-St. John's brawl, Doug Gottlieb losing his mind over a technical, Jerome Tang getting fired for cause (and his AD making it worse), and Canada's curling team getting caught doing the absolute worst thing you can do in a gentleman's sport — and then telling Sweden to go pound sand about it.

Listener questions, a sponsor read, a whiskey review nobody asked for, and a formal welcome to the newest Spartan.

Go green.

It's a Can't Read, Can't Write bombshell episode, where the truth will be revealed. Oh, and there's sports to be discussed, as well. Basketball is on a redemption tour, and hockey is rolling. We discuss it all, stroll Off Grand River, and take your social media questions.
