Brian Lewerke won't start Saturday against Purdue and probably won't play at all, I'm told.
Matt Allen, Cody White and Josiah Scott are also out. Jalen Nailor will play.
We're talking about it right now.

A source confirms the rumor about the injury to MSU sophomore receiver Jalen Nailor.
Nailor has a broken foot and is out for the season.
Big blow to MSU, including its return game, which looked promising last week.

Can’t believe these two fledgling media companies are trying to go head-to-head with our

pregame tailgate.
(East Lansing Skymint location, Coolidge Road, 9:30 a.m. - Games, giveaways, a live show and something the others definitely don’t have, besides The Rube.)

🚨 Show update: We won't have a Sunday night show this week due to Ella Couch's 100th birthday. I'll add my grandmother's hot takes to our next show. The Lions play Monday night, so we'll be back with a new show Tuesday afternoon.

MSU fans, where does Saturday's win over Michigan rank for you among satisfying and joyous victories over the Wolverines in your lifetime in any sport?
Let us know other games or moments it compares to.
Michigan fans, where does it rank in disappointing losses to MSU?

I’m also hearing that MSU punter Tyler Hunt was injured in practice -non-contact injury - and is out for the season. He’d been really good of late filling in for Jake Hartbarger, who’s also done for the year.

It’s time to abort the Tigers bet (betting against them daily). But … that comes with new expectations. Nothing less than 75 wins and teasing us into August is acceptable. You either compete or lose so horribly that we can make money betting against you. There’s no in-between.

Did Tiger Woods' Masters win yesterday reach the level of a "remember where you were" moment?
I saw people compare it to the Cubs' 2016 World Series win, the Miracle on ice, etc.

Several questions during today's show on Marquette transfer Joey Hauser.
To answer a couple of them: A source close to the situation tells me Joey Hauser to Michigan State is 99.9 percent likely and that Hauser will have to sit out the 2019-20 season.

We're going to take Monday off. We plan to be back with a show on Wednesday. Look forward to talking to you then.
I've tested positive for COVID-19. Mild-ish symptoms so far, but still no fun. I'm half-vaccinated, which might be helping me out. No idea where I was exposed. I've been pretty careful. But as the doctor said after my COVID tests, "It's everywhere right now."
Be smart. Be well.
