During Spartan Speak it sounded like @chrissolari.bsky.social was *NOT* happy that Graham broadcasted that Solari was having a Holiday Party. It got shut down real quick when it was brought up. Is that grounds for an un-invite?

Fitzgerald wouldn't have been my first choice but I'm really surprised at the negative reaction from the fanbase. Fitz is a "football guy" who understands the B1G and our rivalries. His biggest plus seems to be that the donors are ok with him. The money has always been the most important part.

We appreciate you Jordan

Watch MSU bring back Smith and then some other school comes and poaches Rossi. If Smith does come back there is no way you bring back every coach right? I'd start with Chad Wilt.

Every coach in the B1G wants to keep a coach who can't win a B1G game!

Rico has kind of cryptically mentioned a major donation coming soon and it might be finalized in the Spring. I know these things are complicated but wouldn't it make sense to make this public before portal and recruiting season? It seems like every program now is "making a commitment" to NIL

Home slate next year is EMU, Toledo, Illinois, Nebraska, Northwestern, Washington and Oregon (I listed them to save the Hoff time). Without a new coach selling "hope" we might be looking at a huge decrease in season tickets and revenue next year. Just another reason to fire Smith.

Graham's take on choosing fandom is still insane. His most recent rant mentioned that he cuts a check to Torquay United every year. I know they were on administration recently but you didn't get a jersey, tickets etc. in return? Maybe i'll start sending money to the Lugnuts. Still appreciate you tho

Justin Thind and the message board jabronis said that our NIL/Portal offers matched other teams last year but kids wanted to go somewhere that they could win. If that is the case isn't it crazy to pull a Wisconsin and publicly back Fickell for next year while trying to say you will spend more?

Former players have said that you can tell the quality of your team by how your Special Teams play. Well we missed 2 FG's and kicked the ball out of bounds on a kickoff. This team stinks.

At least we get to watch the best player in MLB history play a Game 7?

Sneakers is on Peacock

Rossi was faking the whole "energy" thing a bit but it was the best our defense has looked. On the other side I re-watched it this afternoon and Smith seemed too concerned with the post-play flag and just totally ignored Chiles after his TD made it 10-7. That is not a coach I would want to play for

I know there are a million other things to complain about but why wasn't there even a high five to Aiden Chiles on the sideline after his TD by Smith? It looks like Smith was concerned about the Flag thrown after the play but Chiles is YOUR guy and despite him not playing well the score was 10-7

What if one of our billionaires created a fund to give players who stay 3-4 years a one time 50k payment when they turn 30? Or do you think recruits and families are too short sighted to think down the line? I'm just thinking outside of the box here, but who wouldn't want 30-35k after taxes at 30?

I'm sure Smith would've loved having Trent Bray come with him and maybe we would be in the same spot...but did Smith actually make a fatal mistake in selecting Rossi who then picked most of the Defensive Staff? Chad Wilt, Andrew Bindelglass Chris Gordon, these are all Rossi guys and have failed

I don't understand how the Defense can look this bad in the portal era. The only thing I can think of is we blew all of our portal money on WR/OL and the offensive side of the ball and shopped at the bargain bin on Defense. That and recruiting all falls on the defensive staff and ultimately Smith.

Is Curt Cignetti and staff just the ultimate outlier? He brought both of his coordinators from JMU and they have done well and identified people out of the portal. I know Rossi wasn't a Jonathan Smith guy but Lindgren was and both coordinators Mel had were bad. Is it too much for MSU to ask for 1?

Is there a more Californian looking dude than Jerry Neuheisel? Also you can just tell from the way he coaches that he loves and lives the game of football. Are we sure Jonathan Smith actually even likes football?
