How will the Spartans fare in 2018? On this episode of "Current Sports with Al Martin," engineer Ian Hawley takes the reigns once again in Al's absence. Ian discusses the details of Slava Voynov's domestic violence conviction in 2014 and gives his thoughts on the defensemen's desire to return to the NHL. Michigan State football returns more starters than anyone else in the FBS, and Ian tells listeners why they should be confident in their team's chances at success this upcoming season. To close the show, the Current Sports crew takes a look back at some memorable moments on this date in history with Throwback Thursday.
