Ep. 1112: Hot Take Monday: MSU basketball beats Illinois; and a Super Bowl within the Lions' reach

from Couch and The Rube · host Graham Couch & Jason Knick

We dug into our takes and yours — on Michigan State basketball after MSU's win over Illinois, the discourse surrounding Jeremy Fears Jr., the Spartans' ceiling as a team, on the Super Bowl, Kenneth Walker and where the Detroits Lions stand compared to the Seahawks and Patriots, on MSU hockey moving toward another Big Ten title, and more. Plus, some good leftover Twitter questions.
