The One Where We Like the Portal

MSU is starting to throw around its NIL dollars in the transfer portal, sitting pretty at the #11 class in the nation according to 247. Alan Haller goes on the record concerning a number of pertinent topics, and it looks like the NCAA is going to settle its antitrust lawsuits.
And, as always, we take your Twitter questions. Join us next week (if only to practice for the summer Twitter competition) ‪@spartan_pod‬ on X and Instagram.

Jonesy always being here is why I keep showing up. He doesn’t ABANDON us for a SOCCER game. At least have the DECENCY to talk about MSU soccer if you’re a real footy head 😤💀

This is the recognition I needed - I won’t get it from them.

@@spartan_pod you hard carry this show (you’re the dad who never leaves).

[@spartan_pod]

Appreciate you!

[@ryanschultz9413]

Gotta do something about Greck’s mic/signal/whatever.

[@spartan_pod]

Maybe we should just do something about him

[@jayclean5653]

Now you're talking. ​@@spartan_pod

[@box3y]

I still hate the portal but now I at least have to think about that sentence before saying it.

[@spartan_pod]

It felt like we needed to step back into reality and not fight it for a moment.

[@box3y]

@@spartan_pod rage, rage against the dying of the light

First time writing in and have a question and a comment: Can I root for my kids’ new K-12 school if their mascot is a Wolverine? Thankfully different logo and colors. And I played back the bit about the Honors College/James Madison to my wife. She uses that degree to prove she’s somehow better than me. Not buying it and glad you guys aren’t either!

[@spartan_pod]

Two Madison alums and only one of us wears the shirt haha

[@spartan_pod]

Will save this question for next week’s show!

[@Mjonesie5]

I'm a know it all

[@spartan_pod]

This feels targeted.

[@maddogg_goblue]

Can yall buy the guy in the far left a legit microphone ???

[@spartan_pod]

The real bummer is that it’s actually a really nice mic with a soundboard. Brand new. We think there’s something about the compression software. I know you’re just being a troll but we’re nearly 250 episodes in and it was a bummer this happened for the first time.

​@@spartan_podDid you remember to remove the lead lined walls from your recording room?

[@spartan_pod]

@@jayclean5653 honestly, a Faraday cage would’ve been a fun excuse.
