This schedule really shapes up for a playoff run with a 12 team playouts.

Areas that you need to get from experience, which is just, hey, I need to make quicker decisions.

How do you define success for this team?

National Championship.

What's going on, y'all?

But Elliott here of the cover three college ball podcast.

This is my summer school series.

And today, one of my absolute favorite guests, that stephen brooks of spartan tailgate dude you just nail it every year

giving us just the straight truth on michigan state good bad whatever uh it it's always good to see you

how you been yeah good to see you too man i love doing this um I guess I've had a little success sort of forecasting that has not translated to any other areas of my life, whether it's lottery or, you know, blackjacket. So it's only this. All my good luck and vibes go into summer school about Elliot. And I'm happy to, to, you know, convey these powers

once a year with you. And absolutely, always good to talk to you, man. So Michigan State in year

one under Jonathan Smith, it didn't really go, certainly not quite as hope. Maybe, you know,

reasonably went kind of as forecasted, especially as they lost both, both defensive tackles to the portal there.

Shoot, at least one was spring window, right? So, I mean, that was really kind of a blow.

Both for spring window. Okay. So if you lose, if you lose two million bucks in detackles in the

spring window, that's probably going to be difficult for any team to overcome. And it was,

what's the general vibe out out of east lansing right now

uh kind of calm waters calm seas you know and uh in some sense you know you could say maybe

there's some comfort in that but after the way last year went that you just described and

sort of the initial anybody you get a new staff there's an initial boost of wind there you know

lifts your wings and gets you going and it's kind of fizzled out here now so now folks are like well

where is this all heading and there's not a lot of you know juice there's not a lot of rocking in the water
