Can't Read, Can't Write

The 2024 MSU football class is filling out, with two new additions this week. We take a look at those, look at the program moving forward, and take a walk off Grand River. Then, it's week 3 of Twitter Questions. It's never too late to join in @Spartan_Pod on Twitter!

MSU Football receives verbal commitments from two crucial recruits - is this class reminiscent of yesteryear? We review a lot that’s happened Off Grandriver before taking your Week 3 Twitter Questions. Get in on the action next week @spartan_pod

We have seen the future of football scheduling, and it is good. There's also a new CB on campus by way of lowa/Miami, and recruits are in town for visits. We cover it all, and then embark on week 2 of the Twitter rankings. Join in next week @Spartan_Pod on Twitter (or Instagram, lol).

Just a week after MSU does the conference and NBC a favor, the Washington game gets moved to streaming. There's also news on the basketball and conference realignment fronts. And most importantly, it's week one of the Twitter question competition! Join in next week @Spartan_Pod.

Spartan Stadium, in its 100th year, loses it's second most attractive game to Ford Field. MSU (finally, mercifully) gets a WR transfer, and baseball's trip to the conference tournament is shortlived. We discuss it all, and take your Twitter questions. Join in next week for the June competition (!!!) @Spartan_Pod on Twitter.

In this week's episode of Cannot Read, Cannot Write, we talk more than we should about the Schembechler situation at UM, yammer on about recruiting woes, and cover golf and baseball. Then, as always, we take your Twitter questions. Join in next week on Twitter @Spartan_Pod

MSU football loses another commitment for the 2024 class, reducing the total number to 3. We talk about that, discuss gambling in college sports, and then take your Twitter questions. Join in the conversation @Spartan_Pod.

It's still transfer fallout season. We discuss the updates, continue to talk about transfers generally, and do out best to ravage Hugh Freeze. From there, we take a stroll off Grand River, and then take your Twitter questions. Join in next week @Spartan_Pod on Twitter & Instagram.

So, MSU has (for the moment) lost its presumed QB1 and WR1 to the transfer portal. We talk about these players, about transfers generally, and the program moving forward. Then we take a brief stroll off Grand River, and take your Twitter Questions. Join the conversation on Twitter and Instagram @Spartan_Pod

Kind of a lot happened this week. The transfer portal is heating up, recruits are making commitments, and Draymond is getting suspended in the post season. We talk about it all, and then take your Twitter questions. Join the conversation next week @Spartan_Pod on Twitter and Instagram.

MSU had its spring 'game' on a lovely Michigan afternoon, but what did we learn? We break it down, talk recruiting, and take your Twitter questions. Join in the conversation - and start getting warmed up for the competition - @Spartan_Pod on Twitter and Instagram.

Stay engaged with us @Spartan_Pod on Twitter and Instagram

Despite its lackluster effort against OSU in the B10 Tournament, MSU is a 7 seed in the Eastern Region. We break down the game that was, and look forward to a (future Big Ten!) matchup against USC, with a little looking forward to Marquette. Then, we take your Twitter questions. Join in next week @Spartan_Pod on Twitter and Instagram. 

Something, Something, Izzo and March. Everything came up for MSU (except for BT Jordan) as hoops is rolling at the right time while gymnastics crushes records and hockey wins it’s first B1G tourney game (and series!)

We try to focus on both of this week's games, but of course the discussion gravitates to a loss for the ages at Iowa. Then we check in on some other stories around campus, and finally take your Twitter questions. Join the conversation next week @Spartan_Pod on Twitter and Instagram. 

I guess we're back to regularly scheduled programming? We check in with each other, discuss our appreciation for the tributes from across the country, talk a little basketball, and answer your Twitter questions. Thank you again to all those that have reached out in the last week, it's been a tremendous comfort. Truly. Anyway! Want to join in the conversation? @Spartan_pod on Twitter and Instagram....

Three Spartans have been murdered on campus, five more fight for their lives in hospital, and an entire community is mourning its loss.

We're joined this week by Rod from The Final Four is not on the Schedule! But first, the guys share their thoughts on the Rutgers game, take a stroll off grand river, and then answer your Twitter questions.  Have something to share? Join in the conversation @Spartan_Pod on Twitter and Instagram (which may be run by Ali now, I dunno?). 

We knew the B10 grind was coming, and we're in it now, folks! A win against Iowa that didn't inspire much confidence, and a beat down in West Lafayette. We break down the games, look forward to Rutgers at The Garden, make dated references to the 90's Godzilla adaptation, and take your Twitter questions. Join in the conversation next week @Spartan_Pod
