I can't seem to find a straight answer on which, if any, local stations will be carrying the Thursday night game. Does anybody know? I'm reading that Amazon Prime TNF games are broadcast on OTA stations in local markets, but I've run my local Fox, CBS, and NBC stations and none of them show footbal...

If you believe / trust the 97.1 afternoon Spartan blowhard, the signs were there that Tugger had already essentially checked out from his responsibilities long before the article was published. Even he knew it was coming.

Nah. Washington game was irrelevant.

Tracy already had made her plans to either get paid or get him fired. Or both.

#TuckLeavin was going to happen. It's just how much it costs, who's paying, and when.

If MSU had the same information they have today in December 2022, March, and July, it is hard to justify firing for cause NOW. #asthetugcranks Actually, it's pretty easy to justify. Everything kicked up once the USA Today article was published and it all became public. MSU has been through the prov...

That's too bad. I helped Alex install the countertop in that house and wired a new switch in the garage. Alex was a good guy, after a day of work we'd sit in his garage and he would throw me a Bud Light and we solved the world's problems. Every so often he would pause, lean over, rip a drawn out fa...

This article pretty much echoes your point, RF: https://saturdaytradition.com/big-ten-football/the-b1g-10-turning-coaches-into-lottery-winners-creates-an-unhealthy-dynamic-in-college-football/ But it puts more of the blame on MSU for their culpability, and I think deservedly so. Yeah, I definitely ...

Truly a case of follow the money. More and more I think the real victim here is MSU. By trying to compete with the financial stupidity that “college” football has become, all the great things about MSU are overshadowed by these individuals that only seem to care about themselves. How long before the...

Also, from my Michigan fan friends: They don't want him gone. They also don't particularly like the idea that MSU will likely be getting out of most, if not all, of the remaining $77M on his contract. They think the best play from a Michigan standpoint was to keep him around for the rest of his cont...

One thing I am sure of is there is a victim here. I'm just not sure who it is. So I will go with..... 86% chance Brenda Tracy is the victim 14% chance Mel Tucker is the victim. I'd guess it was the other way around. She's a professional in the topic and had all the resources and knowledge to know w...

Nah. Short term hiccup. Handled the right way (fired next month), this becomes nothing more than one guy that was given too much money and power too soon and couldn't handle it. It'd be different if this was multiple people on his staff doing this stuff. MSU has too much going for it for it to be a ...

I'm probably not the only one to think that MSU is a better football team this evening with Tucker sidelined and Barnett being mentored by Dantonio.

So, almost fired. Meh.

I struggle with that.

If you suspend / fire the guy before you can say why, the chances of blowing her cover escalate astronomically.

It's amazing how differences in opinion and politics can turn a hard core U of M fan into an MSU defender. My observation is that while there is a lot of the normal ribbing and agitation between school partisans here, most have the ability to discern the difference between that and when something t...

Well done by MSU administration. Turn the page for the kids in the program and let them focus on their season.
