Shawn is back talking about a 9th grade rager while ML and Marc are grateful Erika’s ears aren’t exposed to this outrage!







STRAIGHT DOPE:  ML watched his Spartans get beat last Saturday, but that was only slightly more painful than getting hit in the head with a wrench on the way to the game.







Marc totally disagrees with ML’s assessment of The Big Game. Where does Shawn land on this weighty question?







ML and Marc totally disagree on how Spartans treat visitors to East Lansing. A discussion ensues over how fans should behave when they’re on enemy territory – and how hometown fans should treat invaders.







Evoking a famous Guinness Book of World Records photo, ML takes what Marc and Shawn agree is a cheap shot at some of his neighbors during The Big Game.







The crew agrees on the worst call of the game … then tells ML what he thought was the second worst call didn’t end up being a penalty. Oops!







Marc asks if the Spartans should hire Brian Kelly. Is he serious? That’s what ML and Marc want to know.







Marc, still trolling, suggests that former Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia would be a perfect fit for the Spartans. ML reaches for a wrench…







Shawn recounts an uncomfortable moment from his 9th grade math class, when he was asked to go to the chalk board while appearing to be smuggling an eraser in his polyester pantaloons.







With one week to go before the Detroit mayoral election, ML says the race may be all but over, which is why the flow of the dough from some of Detroit’s leading luminaries is fascinating.

ML went to court with a political big shot who has a new headache after one of his top aides flipped on him. Read all about it here.
