    MSU
    So good I love the podcast and the Michigan state let’s go spartans
  • Gibby Sanchez
    Solid
    A very die hard fan as a host. I am also die hard but not as biased as Matt is. I wish he would be more realistic at times. This basketball team could go 6-5 just as easily as 11-0 down the stretch. I think 7-4 is much more likely. There’s still obvious holes in this team which Matt heavily ignores. Great morale boost if you like to hype MSU up
  • Jasonosoff
    The Sky is Falling
    If you are looking for a moral boost, or a “silver lining” pep talk, go somewhere else. The host is a die hard fan who wears his emotions on his sleeve, much like the rest of us diehards. Although the sky is always falling when we lose a game, we at least learn why msu lost and what the team can do to improve. And man this guy can celebrate when we win. Also, ignore the “too many ads” reviews. There are the right amount of ads to pay for the costs of the show and the ads can easily be skipped. GO GREEN
  • Sal a mander
    Stop the constant voice inflection
    Great content, but I have to turn up and down the car radio multiple times an episode as he goes from 10 to 100 in his inflection and loudness. A smoother approach would be very welcome. Chill.
  • thewhitewhale11
    Pretty good pod
    Matt is quite a chicken little though. Nothing is ever going right. The sky is always falling. Msu is always on the precipice of complete disaster. Have some faith in your teams man! The schtick gets a little old, but it’s msu content and I like to support fellow Spartans.
  • GAHKERCMH
    Great content but…
    Love the podcast … strongly recommend that frustration with MSU or coaches not come through as strongly. Post Ohio State basketball game was too strong. Being a fan and watching the Ohio State game was bad enough. Prefer analysis, commentary, insights in a podcast. Expressing disappointment is fine but we don’t tune in to hear the over the top anger. I want to continue listening but let’s get back to it being a productive use of our times to listen … which it almost always is (except this time).
  • jsjdbrcrhdbfvdnsjbf
    Cut the Ads
    Good listen but way too much Ads. All the locked on pods drown you with Ads $$$$$$
  • Jose Valentine's Mustache
    Best host in the biz!
    Sheehan is truly fantastic. Reporting and giving analysis as a fan is tough, but Sheehan does it in a silky smooth way. Discovered the podcast before the worst msu football season & most frustrating basketball season of my fanhood, and I listen every day because of the host. That’s how good he is at his job of keeping the listener engaged, informed and relatable.
  • Rnovak20
    Proper Host
    Sheehan brings the passion that listeners share/want. Not the most analytical guy but makes up for that in football by bringing on guests that are experts in their field whether that be recruiting or X’s and O’s. Basketball analysis could use a little improvement but overall great daily listen to keep you informed and have a couple laughs. For more laughs definitely follow his twitter page.
  • Tampa2021
    Slow down
    Screaming and word jumble. Slow down and broadcast
  • AndrewCowell
    Informative and Fun
    You get the daily update on anything MSU related. Matt is all over Twitter so you don’t have to be. Matt makes it fun and doesn’t take himself too seriously. For super in depth analysis you might look elsewhere or pay sites.
  • accjar
    To many ads
    Good content, but the amount of ads takes away from that content. I shouldn’t have to skip through 1/3 of the podcast just to get to the content
  • Zach-DMF
    Best Spartans Podcast
    First podcast I listen to each day. All the latest Spartans news plus has guests from time to time. Would like more guests if I had to critique anything. Maybe audio snips of coaching/player statements if possible too.
  • druha23
    Top MSU pod
    Matt is extremely insightful and knowledgeable about MSU sports. Great interview subjects and insider content. Love the podcast!
  • peeeen15
    5 Stars from a UM fan
    Gotta be honest, one of my favorite weekly traditions has been listening to this guy cry week after week about his sorry football program, and his hatred for Michigan. Keep it I Matt!
  • MSUSPARTAN123
    Podcast
    Enjoy the technical analysis of the new offense. Thanks for doing this. I look forward to listening to Matt and guests every day talking all things Spartans. Matt’s enthusiasm makes my walks more fun and gets me excited for Spartan football and basketball.
  • flowergirl2009
    Guy is a total hack
    Total poser. Go back to Walmart.
  • gogreengowhite2000
    Love locked on Spartans
    Matt S is the best. Knowledgeable, books great guests, yet treats the pod as a fan would-which is not too seriously. Bill P
  • Taylorgvsu
    PLEASE STOP!!!!
    Love the podcast, but please stop slamming your hands on the counter. It really takes away from the content.
  • derthunder
    Really bad
    Amateur hour
  • Tjb235
    Perfect for my morning commute
    Been listening for years for my morning commute to work. It started with Will then Matt took over. Matt’s peppy attitude and enthusiasm is refreshing. For those saying a “professional” voice needed, go listen to those major networks - you’re all going to get the same old takes and voice. This is why he’s different. He’s comfortable with his own personality and not playing to a script. He’s come a long way from his first episode solo and it’s great seeing him perfect his craft. Matt is him. Keep up the great work.
  • Bgrif2012
    Ok, but needs a different host.
    This show is OK but needs a better host. The show needs a host that needs more of a professional host.
  • crateTVFanairconditionerkindle
    THE MSU pod to have
    Listen to this as often as I can. Whenever I hear news I go to Matty Sheehan to get the report and the show stays so up to date and covers everything so well and with great guests while also being really funny and relatable. Keep doing what you do Sunburnt Spartan, we all appreciate you man!! Go green!
  • Spartan in Tampa
    Great podcast
    I am new to your podcast and love the enthusiasm for the Spartans. But also not afraid to call them out. Looking forward to the upcoming football season.
  • rlh:/
    Great podcast
    MSU basketball is on a losing streak and I’m still listening. Misery loves company😆
  • GGGW1
    Guests and commercials
    Guests are typically good. However, the way over the top commercial/ad intros need to go-cringe worthy every time Matt goes to a commercial break.
  • Jugspitcat
    Go green
    Excellent podcast
  • huge ashole
    Commercial shill
    I used to really enjoy the podcast but recently there is nearly as much advertisements as content. Thank goodness I can fast forward but it comes down to 18 minutes of content in a 30 show. Good for you Matt as I’m certain you’re making some coin off the hard work but let’s not forget where you came from.
  • sSquireSs
    Whitmer?!
    Thought this was SPORTS! NOT politics. Been listening to this podcast for years. Just UNSUBSCRIBED. Will go elsewhere.
  • Sir TYRANNIS
    Love the pod
    But why bring on the worst Michigan governor of all time! Honestly embarrassed to have her associated with MSU!
  • Brp2011
    Great Spartan Banter
    I’ve loved it since I started listening. The host is knowledgeable and humorous, the guest have been great too even the Hawkeye

    Much better with a guest. Sheehan himself is a bit much.
  • NickCoquillard
    Love Matt and the guests
    Great daily listen with a fun, knowledgeable host!
  • Phamtastic_Green
    Funny and insightful
    Funny conversations but like the insights. Miss Will’s insights.
  • GarthInEL
    Great pod
    Great pod today. Make Wil a weekly guest!!!
  • jourd_820
    Great daily podcast
    Matt’s fun, has a great personality, has a ton of info, and even has great guests. Perfect podcast.

    John Weekly Guest
    Petition to have Matt’s brother on as a weekly guest going forward.
  • spartan fans everywhere
    Solid , but it would be way more listenable if…
    Matt went 30 seconds without saying some combination of “yeah baby”, “oh yeah, “that’s right”, “that’s right baby” or “baby”. Matt’s a good guy and the content is good, but the verbal crutches get way too repetitive. Go Green
  • The cornerstone of greatness
    Love the community
    Great podcast, Matt is doing an awesome job and I love the sense of community he brings to the podcast. I became hooked during early COVID when they were talking about nothing in particular because it was community during a non-community time. And now that sports are back I’ve never been more into the season and knowledgeable of the players purely because of this show.
  • The Huddie One
    Pleasantly Surprised
    I too was concerned when I heard Will was leaving, but Matt has leveled up with insightful interviews and focus on the the actual sport.
  • Tribe Hero
    Great work Matt
    Keep it up my guy, appreciate the product you give us!
  • ncstadw
    Host Change
    I was disappointed when Wil left the show and was honestly concerned since he was the one keeping the shows reasonable and on track. That said, Matt has done an excellent job since and has had some great interviews. If he keeps it up this show will be as insightful and entertaining as it gets from a locked on podcast. I’m curious to see what he does throughout the season since it really is tough to do a show solo, but like I said he has more than managed so far.

    Narrator Nerd
    Bad dad jokes, juvenile sound effects, uncomfortable dialogue, this is not at all what Sparty is all about , this can leave you disappointed
  • There are no other colors
    Perfect combo. Don’t care what anyone says.
    Booooooo this man Wil with one L. Quiter, can’t hang, retiring, need a brake, taking a nap, ahhhh. Upset with ya. Thanks for starting this and enjoy your time. Gonna miss you. Go hard Matt.
  • WJFrasier
    Great suggestion by Coghlin
    I’m not even a Mich St fan. I honestly have watched maybe 5 games with them. But the tweet from Matt Coghlin was so great that I had to check this out. Turns out these are some great dudes and gave me a solid hour of listening material to get me through the college football offseason.
  • tehchushsn
    Real Fans
    These guys are real diehard MSU fans and offer up daily MSU sports content, not easy these days. It’s like having a couple of buds in the car talking sports while you drive. Not always the most polished production, but they’re constantly getting better and they make it work. Thanks for the podcast. Update: idk if you read these, but you guys say stuff “absolutely slaps” way too much. Super cringe every time.
  • jthind
    Two GOATs
    Matt & Wil exhibit a prefect blend of insight and enthusiasm/humor. Best MSU podcast out there.
