JOE REXRODE! Did MSU flip rivalry? Is Kyle Whittingham checked out?
Andrew Birkle and Shawn Windsor were joined on the Freep Sports Show by The Athletic's Joe Rexrode to discuss Michigan State football's shocking 15-6 upset over Michigan at the Big House. What can this win do for Pat Fitzgerald going forward? And how much can we expect the Spartans to spend on their roster this offseason? Then, the guys transition to Michigan football. How did Kyle Whittingham's program get in this spot? Was Whittingham ever really bought in on coaching at Michigan, or did he mentally check out when he thought he might retire? Plus, Joe tries to convince Shawn that the 24-team College Football Playoff is a terrible idea. But does it actually help the Spartans? And last but not least, Shawn and Andrew break down the deal the Detroit Lions made for safety Andre Cisco. Is this Brad Holmes' only move? All that and more with Shawn, Andrew and Joe.
