    Rod is too much of a truth guy
    I love this podcast. Would not change i thing. Best msu podcast ever! Keep it up! But rod doesnt complain on a 50/50 way of looking at it. For example, the loss to wisconsin in the btt semis, i know that tonje’s reach probably was clean. But the refs were abysmal that game, we need to blame them. Even if they were kind of right.

    Must Listen for any MSU basketball fan
    This is a fantastic show that gives amazing insight into other teams and statistics along with not ever being unrealistically optimistic or too negative about msu. Keep up the amazing work Eric and Rod! Go Green

    Best podcast ever
    Can’t believe this podcast doesn’t charge a subscription. Where else can you get detailed pre-game and post-game analysis that goes to this depth? In a world of hype, blowhards and lazy takes, someone has to keep it real. These guys never let me down.
  • Vadergater
    The source for MSU Hoops!
    Rod and Eric have absolutely made me a better (and slightly less neurotic) fan. I’ve listened to the pod from day one and I highly recommend it for Spartan fans, or if your team has MSU on the schedule.
  • IOP Spartan
    Insightful analysis about Spartan basketball.
    If you are tied of hearing from people rant and rave about how Tom Izzo has lost it, then this is the podcast for you. Excellent commentary from people who know basketball and Michigan State basketball specifically.

    Great podcast!
    Absolutely love this podcast, and appreciate both hosts for being grounded and objective, and not caught up in hyperbole.

    Great Podcast
    This show is great! Their thoughts and opinions are well thought out and stated. They aren’t out here trying to make click bait or hot take like some of the national shows! Awesome podcast!

    My game-watching experience is much richer!
    TFFINOTS makes my game-watching experience so much richer. I love having the “keys to the game” beforehand and the recap analysis afterwards. I have a deeper love for the game and the Spartans. A must-listen for any Spartans basketball fan. Go green!

    Great insight on Spartan Basketball
    A go-to show for Spartan analysis. A nice blend of rational thought that bucks the twitter verse talking points along with mixed with good insights. They put in the work and are ready to go each show.

    Best MSU basketball podcast
    This is really the only true MSU basketball podcast there is. If you are a real basketball fan that cares to have real analysis then this is the show for you!

    Your podcast
    Thought we were going to lose Rod last night after the Nebraska debacle. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail. I thoroughly enjoy the insight, and the banter between both of you. The senior leaders aren’t leading! And maybe Izzo will realize the value of the portal, we will need a center and a 3 point marksman next year. Disappointing to think of how this season may end up, but…. There is always next year. And for all the years that Izzo bailed out a bad football season with his talented teams, well, now its the hockey teams turn!! Go Green!!!
  • GoGreen97
    Rod tells it how it is!
    Pod after the Nebraska game is a must listen. Keep up the good work.
  • EricDLock
    By far the best hoops analysis anywhere
    Thank you guys for sustained excellence over the past couple years. For the real basketball fan, it is so refreshing to listen to Rod and Eric break down opponents, break down the Spartans, and break down each game with dispassionate analysis —facts and logic— as opposed to the hot take showmanship of most of the podcast world. Rod’s knowledge of the game is deep and nuanced. His ability to explain strategy, strengths and weaknesses is exceptional. Clearly, he’s a partisan Spartan fan, but he values objectivity enough to call a spade a spade even when it’s not favorable to our team. I value that so much. Reason over emotion. Insight over cheap shots. Most shows give you 5 min of content across 30-40 min of stupid jokes, insults and ads. This one feels like it gives me 60 min of insight even when the show goes only 45m. Great show. Keep up the great work!
  • Rhino5560
    Really enjoy the show
    Rod has been the standard on the podcast for many years. Really enjoying the addition of Eric in this current iteration. Great insight and breakdown of MSU hoops. Enjoy the focus on recruiting as well.

    The best MSU Bball Pod
    Rod and Eric are the most insightful commentary surrounding MSU and big ten hoops and are a must listen. They cover recruiting, in-season updates and coverage, off-season debates and so much more. They are the go to listen for me every time I am in need of some Spartan themed entertainment.
  • Natalee Roseeee

    THE Best Spartan Basketball Podcast.
    A gem for any Spartan fan. I've tried a handful of MSU sports podcasts and this is by far the best. It's always relevant, insightful and on point. No fluff, mindless chatter or click bait, just pure basketball, like it should be.
  • cdd001
    Outstanding Show
    If you are. Spartan basketball fan, this podcast is indispensable. Really enjoy the expanded features, including shows with coaches and spotlighting recruits.
  • Go Green 4life!
    A must-listen for all MSU fans
    So glad to have found this podcast via Graham Couch. His rec was spot-on: Really great, in-depth analysis from two men who clearly love MSU. Go Green!
  • Spartycat
    Best MSU BB podcast ever
    Rod and Eric team up as the best MSU basketball podcast analysts out there. They compliment one another, are very knowledgeable about college BB including in depth knowledge about MSU BB players and a very good overview of the opponent players MSU will be facing. I have been listening to the podcast for ages and I have learned so much about bb and Eric’s intro is correct because as a result, I’m able to impress my friends and coworkers with my knowledge! They also do additional episodes with guests such as former players, former assistant coaches, future players (signed recruits) and even current players.

    Best Podcast Ever
    My husband and I have been tffinots listeners for years. As avid MSU fans we stumbled on it after questing for more MSU basketball content. We often say that we could listen to Rod go on about MSU bball lore for hours. Our enthusiasm has only grown after Eric joined the cast bringing some much needed sunshine on days when the Spartans don’t perform as well as we know they can! Great podcast and superb hosts! Go green!!
  • ShiftyEyes0_o

    Love this podcast!
    Eric and Rod do a fantastic job of analyzing MSU sports. They back up their takes with facts and stats rather than emotion. Both hosts compliment each other perfectly and the podcast flows well. Great job guys!

    BEST MSU HOOPS PC
    My husband got me hooked on this podcast. Absolutely love the in depth conversations into Michigan state hoops and also recruiting. Not a big fan of football so this podcast is just perfect. Rod gives such good analysis of the team and potential recruits. Best Msu hoops podcast hands down. Thanks guys!

    Best MSU hoops podcast around
    Rod and Eric provide the best and most in-depth coverage I’ve heard, and are also able to stay level headed through the ups and downs of the season.

    MSU hoops must listen
    Great show; very thorough coverage and I’m loving this new setup! I listen to a lot of podcasts on my daily commute, but when a new TFFINOTS drops, all other shows are put on hold. Thanks guys!

    Easily the Best Spartan Hoops Podcast
    The most informative MSU basketball podcast available bar-none. These guys are glued to the MSU program and able to distill and convey the nuances involved with whatever scenario or topic is being discussed. They do not focus on hyperbole and unfounded rumor beyond opinions as to how much stock to place in a given perspective. They are also very knowledgeable of the situations for MSU opponents (particularly the big ten) and the recruiting landscape as a whole. If I the poor taste to be an Wolverine fan, for example, I would likely listen here for actual honest opinions of my team. Without a doubt, this podcast is the gold-standard for MSU and Big Ten hoops. Well done gents!

    Finally getting paid!
    It’s about time this podcast got picked up by a network. You guys are the best there is and I learn a ton with each episode.
  • Chris Leja
    Best Michigan State Basketball Podcast
    You learn more about the game, they do detailed breakdowns of the opposing team’s players before game. My favorite MSU pod out there by far. Thank you Rod & Cameron!
