We regroup for Michigan State, a day later than usual but still intact.  This week, we're joined by Sparty superfan and The Athletic contributor Chris Vannini (@ChrisVannini), who gives us the skinny on the Spartans and acknowledges what we all know: That Kirk Ferentz and Mark Dantonio hate each other with the white hot fury of a thousand supernovas.

Afterwards, Adam and Pat recap Penn State and examine what it might mean for the rest of 2017.  Zooey Dechanel is involved for some reason.  Finally, we talk a bit about our friend and former guest Brian Towle, who passed away unexpectedly this week.
