Couch and The Rube Graham Couch & Jason Knick

We answered your Twitter questions, largely on Michigan State football – on the state of things with this team, with the program, who the next head coach might be, why Urban Meyer isn't the right choice and why no one who's talking about MSU's next coach like they know anything knows anything. Plus, the feelings on the Lions, best bets this week, ways we've lost money and more.

We dug into our hot takes and yours – on Michigan State's lopsided loss to Washington as it begins the post-Mel Tucker era, what's in store for the rest of MSU's season, the program's future and more, along with reactions to the Lions' frustrating loss to the Seahawks and a few fun, off-topic takes.

We opened with a conversation about the Mel Tucker saga, how fans are feeling about Tucker's removal as head coach and this week's MSU game against Washington. Then Matt Charboneau joined us to discuss his exit from the Detroit News and memories from his time on the MSU beat (17:00). Followed by our college football and NFL picks with Harry Gagnon (36:00). Plus, more than an hour of your Twitter questions on MSU football, the future of the program and more (59:00).

We dug into the situation surrounding Mel Tucker – the investigation, his behavior, MSU's decision to suspend him, what it means for MSU's program, the players and our initial thoughts on Harlon Barnett as the Spartans' acting head coach and more. Plus, your "thoughtful takes" on the Mel Tucker saga at MSU.

We answered your Twitter questions – on the Lions' massive win at Kansas City, what it means and how we should feel, on Michigan State's football game against Richmond and what we can learn about the Spartans from it and what might show MSU is ready to compete with Washington, best bets this weekend, and more.

We opened with our hopes and concerns for the Detroit Lions and why Keon Coleman's performance at Florida State isn't an indictment on MSU. Then, the Richmond Times-Dispatch's John O'Connor joined us for a blunt assessment of the Spiders' chances against the Spartans on Saturday (11:00). Then the great Harry Gagnon joined us to pick the Week 2 college football slate and Week 1 NFL games (32:30).
