October 13, 2025 HOT BOARD SZN - The Only Podcast (10-13-25)
It was as bad as you could imagine. How many more games (days?) does Jonathan Smith have left in East Lansing? Can he salvage his mess?
We provide our parameters for a head coach that can succeed at MSU. What started as an offhanded comment last week has snowballed into a leading candidate. Is James Franklin the potential solution??
Great games around the country, so there's still plenty to love about this irrational sport. And for the truly depressed, Hoops szn is just around the corner!
