    Champions, Chains & Deuce Believes | This Is Sparta B1G #298

    The Spartans are believing again — and so are we. On this episode of This Is Sparta Across the B1G, host Jason Strayhorn is joined by co-hosts Sean "Slow Sippa" Taylor and Cedric "Swerve" Irving for a packed show featuring two special guest appearances. First, we sit down with MSU's Big Ten champion men's tennis standout, who became the first Spartan to win matches in both singles AND doubles at a conference championship — and he's just getting started. Then, we welcome a father-son duo from Virginia — Terrence Edwards Sr. and redshirt freshman defensive back Terrence "Deuce" Edwards Jr. — for a hilarious, real, and inspiring conversation about the recruiting journey from Louisville to West Virginia to East Lansing, the energy of this year's Spartan defense, and why Deuce's eyes are already on the Thorpe Award and a national championship. Plus, the crew reacts to the NCAA Tournament expansion to 76 teams, breaks down the NIL effect on the NBA Draft, and celebrates a new four-star defensive lineman commit. Mama Hall's blanket made an appearance too — and it did NOT disappoint. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/this-is-sparta-msu--5664600/support.

    Changing the Narrative | This Is Sparta B1G #294

    NIL, Izzo, and the New Era: Why Sparty Has to Spend | This Is Sparts B1G 293

    Michigan State loses again to Michigan and the chat is on Jason, Sean, Swerve and Slow Sipper from the opening tip. We break down the rivalry loss at Crisler, the Jeremy Fears flagrant, the “cylinder” rule, and whether the refs got it right or completely flipped the call. Then we zoom out: is Tom Izzo too old-school for the NIL/portal era, how much will it really take to keep Fears in East Lansing, and can MSU realistically make a Final Four run with this roster? From arguing if Sweet Sixteen/Elite Eight is “good enough,” to debating Ishbia’s wallet, future portal targets, and whether Michigan has actually closed the gap on Sparty, this episode is part therapy session, part barbershop, and part hard truth about where Michigan State basketball really stands right now.
