Tyler and Kris talks about why, despite MSU's recent struggles, Izzo's new deal is well-deserved and give you a list of players to keep an eye on this upcoming football season with their Spartan Superlatives. They also look at the schedule and advise if the over or under is a good call in Vegas.

Tyler and Sean talk about the versatility that Darius Snow and Jacoby Windmon bring to the entire defense, how (pending the scheme) this group may be the deepest on the roster, what a change of scheme can do for the defensive backs and much more.

Tyler and Kris double dip and discuss how MSU special teams are just that. They also talk about how the defensive ends have to prove themselves, but the Spartan tackles will be AT LEAST the best pairing in the Big Ten conference.

For a group that has taken a lot of preseason scrutiny, Tyler and Ryan aren't disappointed with how this group looks on paper. The guys do have two concerns that are tied together that they address. They also breakdown Xavier Booker committing to Tom Izzo and why Izzo needed to land Booker or retire for the sake of his legacy.

Tyler and Anthony Ianni talk about Payton Thorne's expanded role on this team, moving on without Kenneth Walker, the help from the receivers, where he ranks in the Big Ten and how he surprised Tyler last year by being a quarterback who can do it all.

Our position group series continues as Tyler and Kris talk about the running back room at Michigan State. They talk about the projected starter, if there's enough carries to go around, why there may be too many bodies and what the rotation may look like. Tyler also goes off on one of the ignorant tweets of all time.

No time for pros and cons today as, let's be real, these groups are stacked for MSU. Tyler and Connor still give you a breakdown of projected starters, what these guys can do for Payton Thorne, and how they should be good as any group in the conference not named Ohio State. They also talk about Connor's new podcast with MSU legend Eric Snow.

Tyler and Sean (from the Spartans on the Banks podcast) talk about the starting group in Michigan State's defensive backfield, if they can be much improved, if Ronald Williams is actually good and if Scottie Hazelton's play-calling will change with more experience. They also discuss how the answer to all these questions hinge on one player and go into what they love and hate about this group.

Tyler talks about how the Big Ten is bombing the expansion, how it could harm student-athletes in every sport not named football, why continuing to expand is the only option and how they have an opportunity to hold all the cards regarding Notre Dame joining the conference and are letting it slip.

Tyler, Jeremy and Kris discuss the breaking news of the Big Ten expansion, what it means for rivalries, how the non-revenue sports will struggle even more, the scheduling conflicts that will come with this for sports not named football, and how the NCAA may fall apart with this. They also discuss what else may be on the horizon for the conference.
