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!

Basketball talk! Doesn’t matter if we are doing it to put off talking about the football program.

The Spartans coaching staff snatches defeat from the jaws of victory in Lincoln. An especially challenging task considering the opponent’s year over year interest in the very same thing.

And, dear listener, you already know Austin and John can’t wait to talk about Penn State head coaching candidates.
