MSU Basketball #1 in the Polls, Mark Dantonio, College Football Coach of the Year, John Madden, Michigan State Band, Michigan High School Basketball, Brian Calloway, and Lebron James.

What a time if you're a Michigan State fan! With Michigan State up to no. 1 in the polls and the football team preparing for their trip to the College Football Playoff, Al and Isaac look over both teams. How significant is an early no. 1 ranking for Tom Izzo? Also, is Mark Dantonio deserving of being named college football's coach of the year? Then, Current Sports has a special featuring John Madden, Michigan State band director, who has a unique perspective on the accomplishments of Dantonio. Al and Isaac revisit their high school basketball days and welcome Brian Calloway, Lansing State Journal prep reporter, to preview the upcoming season. Finally, the duo discuss Lebron James' new contract with Nike, a record-setting deal.
