All right this is what we ended the show with yesterday this is the worst that is ever going to get here but we’re gonna get through it together we’re gonna hold our Spartan hands one by one and March through this Darkness because one day there will be light now on that note
John Kirby how are you doing today you doing okay right now uh been better I’m doing okay that’s good all right awesome um yeah there’s no way to slice it uh you we ended yesterday’s show talk about our game plan here when Michigan wins the national title we’re not going to
Take any accountability you can take accountability a lot of things in life but right now when things are dire no no no no we’re going to point fingers we’re going to deflect so congratulations Ryan Day James Franklin Tommy Reese as well the Alabama play caller for getting the outcome of the national championship
That you guys wanted you idiots you clowns You frauds so that’s just all I got to say um is it our fault no we had a bad year we are a wounded animal this has nothing to do with us this has this has to do with everyone else uh fair or
Foul John Kirby what what do you think about that strategy for moving forward here I think it’s always safe to blame everybody else and never look inward I think that’s always a good strategy to deflect so yeah I would say I mean you’re not wrong in the sense that like
James Franklin and Ryan day this has been that game that you had to win in for how many years now for like and like I’ll give Nick you know Sav a little bit of Grace because like sometimes you just you zone out a little bit here and
There when you’re on your second hand of rings you’re just kind of like yeah who cares playing Madden like you’re playing the dynasty Mone he like youon do I like recruiting better anyway like exactly exactly and it’s tough to win any game with a center that’s just you know
Throwing balls at your quarterback’s ankles the entire game buty I’m not upset about it I’m totally over it it’s fine it’s all good in the hood over here so that’s all just just wanted to address the big elephant in the room that yeah they they they’ve done it and
It sucks but hey you know what just life in general kind of sucks doesn’t it John um all right moving forward on a happy note here we’re recording midday Monday just like I said there’s not a ton of Michigan State News to get to right now
The one piece of uh I guess headlines we’ll get to is Malik Carr has committed to Houston there’s some chatter on the timeline of Twitter or X whatever you want to call it and he tweeted this out I don’t know if you saw this Kirby because he tweeted this out like right
Before uh we started talking to each other Malik the freak tweets out to be clear to all my Spartan fans I was not wanted by the current coaching staff it’s all love to the MSU Community well thanks for clearing the air on that Malik but I I don’t know why
Why you would tweet that out like hey hey everyone to make it unequivocally clear I was not wanted it wasn’t me leaving I wasn’t the one who broke up with them it was them that dunked me and told me I wasn’t invited around the family anymore like why
Why like like I’m I’m trying to wrap my brain around like who advised him to tweet that why he would tweet that I’ve got nothing over here John do you have any reason why a guy would just come out and say hey just want to make it very
Clear I was actually not invited back just clear it all you know I guess he really liked it here okay so that maybe that’s why um you know once you’ve had uh experience pinball pets like I get it you don’t want I get the rice you have Rice
Kitchen and you’re like I’m never gonna get Chinese like that in Houston so like I kind of get it but to your point like it’s rare when you see the person saying they broke up with me like in publicly and everyone’s like sorry man that’s
Tough so I wanted to make it very very clear that it was my wife that told me that I the dead beat am no longer around to be around the house or the children or anything again in case anyone had any confusion I was the problem here like oh
I had to read the Tweet like five times to make sure I’m reading this all correctly like okay after a career of like questionable effort okay what a what a bang to end it on I guess good luck to him I think is truly good luck to him I do hope it all
Works out I’m not a monster and neither is he just what a interesting few years it was here for Malik car Michigan State basketball legend Malik car I should stay ex excuse me call you know how funny is that he and Keon both left both programs so that experiment’s kind of
Over I think I I would I would say so although Keon and Malik Carr both had as many points rebounds and assist as Malik Hall did on Sunday night so I who who’s to say that any experiments truly over that was very mean it was very not
Called for and I really had to shoehorn that in there but we’ll get to Malik call later this show again hey I’m a Malik Hall Defender I’ve died on the Malik Hall sword many a time but Sunday night 26 minutes of cardio yeah don’t have a leg to stand on over
Here uh we’re gonna do a very creative highlevel game John it’s called fill in the blank okay gonna give you a sentence and you just got to fill in the blank you can interpret these questions or statements however you want so let’s just get off and run here if anyone has
Any questions about how to play this game just email me on the side lock on sparts gmail.com I’ll hold your hand through this John Kirby number one other than Aiden Charles blank has been the biggest portal pickup so far good question no shortage of options yeah yeah
Uh I’m G to go with see fool me once with Texas A&M uh transfers I know on paper I love it Tony Grimes I love it trust me um I’ve just experienced some some buyer remorse uh with that I also could like to consider Tanner Miller um
Because I don’t know if you’ve seen um his profile pick but it is incredible um he’s got amazing stash um flowing red hair uh it is it’s looks alone makes me think this is a football guy oh sure oh oh God yeah oh you you can get 5.3 yards per carry
Behind that no no problem confident with him yeah so I think those two and then um I think it’ll be nice to have uh okay this is I’m stealing from Austin Smith but Jack veiling the uh okay tight end we need a tight end dude we haven’t had
A tight end since Josiah price so time I stole three you what do you think no that’s fine please because there really is no shortage of options here here but I am going to go with one of the guys that you named and what what’s the saying once bit and
Twice shy that’s kind of me with if if Grimes transferred from anywhere other than Texas A&M as a former five star like that’s clear clearly my my number one choice but since the whole Tumi ad ad however you say his name the guy whose only move was roughing the passer last
Year I apologize for being a little gunshot just go ahead and pick that so I’m going to go with something else that I’ve actually been a little miffed about the last few years actually not just last year but offensive line play and anytime you can
Get a guy that is a second team ESPN All-American in just like you said Tanner Miller that’s going to have to be it because I remember last year thinking all right the offensive line they experienced we have one of the best offensive line coaches coaching these
Guys we are going to rip and Roar and ground and pound into this season and then Kirby I don’t know if you remember but but uh that Central Michigan game there there was not a defined push being brought by that offensive line and I’m thinking uh uh
Oh initially like initially I was scared and then I I really spin zoned it after we found out Conor stallions was at that game and I was like we weren’t giving him any tape we weren’t giving him any tape and then um Still Still unsolved by the way at Central machine huh maybe
They’re just Gathering all the money that they owe us here we got to have Odell Bram on to let us know what the interest is of what uh Amy Fen Amy Fen and cmu’s athletic department well I hope I hope he was able to to fix enough
Vacuum cleaners to afford a ticket um he has more than earned his way down down to the national championship game I got a Bonus one for you please bonus one um yeah Tommy Schuster North I love love that I don’t want him to play okay no no no no no
That’s not no no it is cool to have someone who’s thrown for 9,000 yards as your backup I’m gonna say that and I super appreciate that he chose to come for Vibes like he knew he’s in that plane and we always need a Vibe guy like
Theo De was the last Vibe guy we’ve had and I just feel like Tommy’s gonna step in as a grad SE uh grad senior I think Just Vibe out you know QB qb3 on a big 10 School that’s a good gig uh you know get a nice degree get some nil money and
Some sick sick sideline gear too SW uh better than North Dakota swag Please I he’s played it so right it’s it’s been awesome John we got a few more to get to for football and then we’re going to switch things to basketball to end the
Show H but first I’m so sorry I hate to do this to such a fine guest as you but need to talk to people’s ears off about jce medical J aed.com guys I know that we come to sports to escape from this some of the realities of real life but can we talk

Drag the one the only John Kirby of the only podcast back here into the mix we’re doing some fill-in the blank and next up uh this this is a very basic one but hey let’s just talk about the man for a little bit here blank is the most
Impressive part about Jonathan Smith now let’s be really nice to him because he is a loyal listener I know he doesn’t miss an episode of lockdown spart so let’s stroke his ego here for a little bit John uh my man is ruthless I did I didn’t know I think we’re all like does
This guy have like it you know is he like I need to see something and yes when my man uh who is the quarterback of one of the best stretches in Oregon State history was the coach of one of the best stretches in history of his
Alma mater decided he was gonna drop off all of his clothes at Goodwill like all with his name on him like I was like this guy’s he’s got a dog in him like this guy’s ruthless I like this guy like I can’t imagine putting myself in the
Shoes of like we love Michigan State right we didn’t even suit up or coach for them no certain imagine swinging over to the Goodwill and he’s Lancing Andi like had a deama I’m out like y’all be well that’s tough so no it is and and like the honestly like the Malik thing
Like this guy has a this guy is doing things his way okay and for better or worse this seems to be a lot more control of things going on in the program so that’s my answer how about you he he he has the appearance and also like he comes off during these press
Conferences as like just the the friendly neighbor that you could borrow your leaf blower from any any given time you know he will check on your mail when you’re out of aaca like this is a man that is just so nice you could trust with anything but my God if your dog
Poops in his yard and you don’t pick it up like he he is egging your front door with two dozen great a eggs the following morning like yeah because there’s there’s no shortage of examples here just like you said uh dumping off the closing Oran State on the next thing
But also how about just like essentially kind of sort of telling Harland Barnett to hit the bricks and best of luck at the next step of your life um thanks for everything you did here to keep this program somewhat afloat I can see the top of hair I guess I don’t know that’s
Being really nice but uh but see you thank you you can be a greeter at the stadium if you want to be or you can leave that’s essentially it but God that is that is a great one I just I got a boring one just like how he’s operating
The transfer portal okay how about that that’s good I mean boring but yeah what I like but it’s not boring because right now we are at like Ground Zero of figuring out how this all works in like figuring out how to assemble a roster into your point about him doing figuring
Out how to do the portal he’s been able to turn on the nil spouts in ways that were unaware of at least to the general public right and because he’s getting these guys not for free just be Crystal right oh yeah and and he’s getting these guys and he’s building a roster much
Like a gmw in the NFL and that’s the new era of college football so if he has a plan um that’s great because the last regime didn’t and so or at least it was a flawed one and so this one we’re taking a different approach and you know
I I I’m very thankful that at least looks like we’re trying something different and it just seems stable I guess is the word and just like you said like by and large the general public I me even myself included we don’t know a lot about like the inner workings of nil
But Aiden childes didn’t come here just because he really likeed Crunchies you know like he he he he didn’t essentially hang up on Lincoln Riley who’s you know that powerful program in his own backyard just because you really liked SBS MSU and all the cool swag they had
To offer like like nil is a thing here and also well all the guys that you recruited back as well I’m sure nil played a part sure in that too so is it driving more money from donors is it just having a more clear picture of the
Landscape and be more definitive of what you want to do probably a combination of all that but good God when does this guy ever sleep because that’s just only one part of the job here you get as a college coach so yeah um okay we’re we’re riding really high right now uh so
Let’s just keep it going you know what I was gonna say a word but I’ll let you figure out the word right here okay here we go boy daydreaming about a 10 and two Michigan State team making the playoff in 2024 is blank wild that is a wild thought I never even
Considered it until this do it do it blindly in without knowing the full roster the best part about uh January is like everyone takes a look at the schedule and can be like probably get that one could probably yeah pick that one up couple couple bounces go our way
We could probably go win so I’m all in on I don’t even know I think two losses might be too many I don’t know I did give us a buffer you know what I I did I did give us a buffer here no because I usually reach this point in
The offseason in August you know it usually takes me the entire offseason to really talk myself into screw it 10 and two we’re we’re going uh to the cotton ball again it’s gonna be great but I don’t know if it’s because basketball’s struggling yet again I don’t know if
That I’m just so high on the supply that Jonathan Smith is bringing to e Lancing I don’t know if maybe even some of it has to do with Michigan just winning in the national title and I just want to speedrun myself through the offseason uh just doldrums straight into delusion of
10 and two but I mean Kirby like just like you said like we’re looking at these teams like Road game a Boston College sure it’s a road game they just went to a bowl game but Spartans by 20 I come on Chalk it up um I do have to
Correct myself from a previous episode I said that Talia Tango is out of Eligibility we won’t see him again next year turns out he could still play college football he’s been around since 2017 whatever we got to beat him one of these times right we’re just do for a
Win Kirby so you throw that up in there now the two losses we’re not going to win at Oregon I’m going to be reasonable here and then let’s say that uh at Michigan trips you up as well you beat Ohio State at home okay and then the
Iowa Games next hardest game so really 10 and two okay is insane like this is not a healthy way of living life but I could talk if you put if you force me I could tell you how they win every one of these
Games they W but I can I can lie to you if you want and and anyone ever wants I will SpinZone you to a dub we we had an emailer write in a great question it was What’s worst case best case and real case scenario for the season I think
This is when I started a Daydream too it’s because I went through the best case and I spat out 11- one the only loss I had was at Oregon you’re not gonna win that but Ohio State I’m like ah no Marvin Harrison yeah that’s just one player out of you know how many
Draft picks they’ll have and then oh well Michigan’s going to lose a lot they got to reload as if they don’t have incredible Talent this is a lot of just sweeping stuff under the rug but that didn’t stop me from getting to like 11
And one but hey 10- two in the 12 team playoff it’s not a guarantee I did go back and look at all the previous rankings from previous years it’s not a guarantee that a 10 and two power five team gets in the playoff but it is a
Very high clip so let’s do it I like it and those are two reasonable losses you know we’re talking to the committee right now you know these are we had some solid and also don’t throw out the Oregon game like our guy was you know Spin Zone in here Jonathan Smith he was
Um I wasn’t on the ball in the last game at Oregon he was he was on the phone maybe every time out with you know working out the contract with us didn’t have his eye on the ball so now he’s focused and he he has not forgotten what
Happened he’s coming in with more Talent than he did with Oran State team and they aren’t taking him seriously okay so I’m just telling you this is don’t overlook that oron game as a loss already I remember reading a story about Woods this was years ago but he would be
At a tournament but he would hit shots getting prepared for the Masters so like he’d just be like okay I don’t need to hit like this 120 yard draw but I know I will have this shot at the Masters I’m going to start practicing right now maybe that’s what Jonathan Smith was
Doing organ State versus Oregon he was coaching as if he had Michigan State’s players exact give that muddy up the tape see you get it did I say 11 and one no I meant 12 and0 this no I’ll fill my own blank uh daydream about a 10 and two
MSU making the playoff is a cry for help that someone should probably test for a gas leak in my house but nothing that I will stop doing I know it’s a very long blank I just filled out but that’s what we got here uh do you want to do
Basketball in a little bit here Kirby I love it um why not bring the mood down excellent that’s that is what I’m talking about but first need to talk to people’s ears off about fan duel sports book the number one sports book in America the NFL regular season is all

Your face let’s wipe set off right now let’s do that it’s basketball time Kirby uh you know I’ll just I’ll skip right to him let’s just cut to the chase Malik Hall is blank Malik Hall is blank interpret that any way you want volatile I think yeah oh there’s there’s
A little blame that can be laid on again never never look in word for blame he should be blaming correct yeah yeah yeah yes I in in all seriousness you know he probably needs to to demand the ball a bit more you know there are you know Tyson Walker
Is going to get his shots don’t worry about that Jaden aens seems to get his shots Malik Hall from game to game will go from many shots to to very few and you know that I think is also a result not just of him asking for the ball I
Think AJ hogard as a point guard of a team needs to understand where you need to be getting points from people you have to understand that you need to help get Malle going the the track record is there if it’s Tyson versus everyone you lose you
Have to get other people involved and if you’re the point guard you’re the only one that can really do that so um am I blaming AJ for mly calls shortcomings absolutely but that comes with being a point guard at Michigan State unfortunately so um volatility is where
He’s at but when he’s playing his best Michigan State’s for real when he’s not we are unserious so that’s that’s kind of what maybe bothered me about the whole statline of the Northwestern game is that only four shots from a leag hall and whether that’s all on him all on AJ or some
Combination of them it’s like Malik you you you literally just had your best career game arguably just just just the following game against Penn States like and it’s very clear too at this point I don’t know if he knows it he should know it but he is the best scoring option on
That low block it’s certainly not one of your centers it is it is you y we can’t survive here with you just taking four shots my man like I get that maybe your shot was a little off they’re not Fallen but come on like we just another
Turnaround or two wouldn’t kill us I mean especially when we’re already down 12 but and he’s so G he’s so shy right now with a three-point he’s only shooting like 27% and everyone’s gonna keep giving him that you know so yeah you take the corner three you can’t
Hesitate on it and he’s just got to get his confidence back uh my feel in the blank I’m gonna just be selfish I’m going to make this entirely all about me all about this show because I just have a very high ego apparently but uh Malik Hall is a
Byproduct of locked on Spartans we jinxed The Living Daylights out of everything and after the Penn State game I took a Victory lap saying Ah that’s right haters suck it I told him call was good and then well there you go and now that we are pooing him for the second straight
Episode I get ready for 3312 and six against Illinois on Thursday so it’s just yes I just never what okay when it comes to players that are like great game one game on a mil cart in the next game like you know what I mean like there’s such a roller
Coaster like who’s the biggest roller coaster player to memory for Michigan State for you oh man uh well I was immediately thought of Russ Westbrook when you’re talking about that plays that’s fine yeah but as it relates to Michigan State man it felt like I mean most recently rocket watts is a freshman
Was just like hit or miss that’s and then I think there was another Julius Marvel would just sometimes not make an appearance in the box score and other times he was the best look um low block scoring threat I don’t know who maybe I’m missing some
People who do you think oh I’m going I’m scrolling back way back here if you’re a college kid right now you might not even know who this is but rayar Morgan I remember was always like two Elite games three games off like and go through the
Game logs to if any you have time like because I was thinking about this this was a few months ago in the Summer where I was just bored I was like was I right and think about Raymar Morgan like that and sure enough if you go back it’s like
Yeah 22 points eight rebounds next game three points one assist like it’s so how about Brandon Dawson me and oh I love Brandon Dawson so near and dear to my heart but it’s true unfortunately I think yeah had to get his motor going you know was going he was Unstoppable but for some
Reason just wasn’t all there sometimes all right John this this might be the last one we’ll see how much time we have after this one but listeners if if you have listened to the show you know how just anal I am about Bracketology and everything like that and just you know where Michigan
State’s going to be seated I start looking at Bracketology before the Thanksgiving turkey even hits the table so for this last one MSU finishes the season as a blank seed now I will offer context I’m not going to leave everyone out there high and dry right now Bart
Torvic tells you that you are a six seed okay sure and then you could work your way up to a four seed if the rest of the season is chalk they have you underdogs in three games so you win all the other ones you go one in one in the Big 10
Tournament okay they say you could climb it to a four seed now jool and already has you as a seven seed that was before the Northwestern game something called clutch points whatever they have you have a SE as a seven seed that was even after the Northwestern game and 131
Sports has you as a nine seed right now after the Northwestern game so those are just a few seeds and where people and computers have you at right now but uh Kirby I No One’s Gonna like this answer but like what are what are you feeling you know it’s really a fluffy
Schedule the rest of the way very which is good and bad it’s good and bad right you got to start stacking wins um but those wins aren’t gon to do much for you as far as the numbers are concerned so I think as I look there are three quad One
Games left four quad One games left on the schedule um all of which three of which are away and we know how well they playing over great awesome so it’s like I don’t want to S give up on those but I mean you need to start notching
Quad one wins to be moving up the seed lines because like wins at home against Minnesota do very little for me or the committee right so I’m gonna land on seven for now because while the numbers might look okay um the record doesn’t and these are people that are also
Putting you in the tournament and there there’s an eye test too and while they’re not getting blown out the win loss is going to be a little yucky probably but I don’t know seven but again that doesn’t mean anything like this was this is a team that was a
Bucket away from the elite eight as a seven so what you know it’s just downright pathetic and just depressing which I guess that’s how we’re gonna sandwich this show we’re going to start it absolutely depressing end it absolutely depressing this is what you get here on
Locked on Spartans your team five days a week um is that when you said seven seed eventually I was like oh great sold yeah I’d take that it’s like God that’s so I hate it here man like making it would be good we should start with making the tournament that’s true and
That is gonna happen by not losing the bunnies let’s make some layups against Minnesota Ruckers at home like let’s get it going here boys we’ll do this one quick uh the five-game win streak was blank refreshing but also um for this program the standard so
It’s hard for me to get too excited when five players are seniors or upper classmen super seniors and like they’re stumbling through an identity crisis like grow up man get a job like we gotta got to grow up and um so so it was refreshing um and I think the if you
Want to get really positive Spin Zone on it is there’s a there’s a contending team in there whether they all show up together is yet to be proven on a regular basis they they need to play close in March I forgot what the closest uh first two round site would be but
Then you know get in that Detroit region and then bada bing bada boom yeah final four chalk it up uh no because I think people are on two ends of the spectrum here I think that they’re either going to say like savior you know like that that five game stretch saved our season
Which can be true I mean if you limped out of that three and two or four- one yeah could be really dicey in the tournament or I mean I know that other fans are gonna say oh it was a mirage like it was all just for nothing but I
Don’t know it was here here’s a really lame way to end it it was it was just nice you know I had some two two fun wins against Some solid teams in there uh we deserved it let’s not kid our yeah we deserve that one um as fans
Never mind the players but it’s it was just nice sometimes it’s just nice to to win one you know isn’t it yeah to like be happy about a sports season for a two week stretch that was fun I liked it crazy so we should try it again some we
Should try that again that’s right FAU and Louisiana that’s right we got you in our sites next September um John this is great anything you want to plug here before we let you go and enjoy the rest of your week and just fight off happy Michigan fans and sure um don’t let the
Michigan fan in your life tell you that the cheating didn’t affect the national oh no no and the point of fact is that 2021 2022 Seasons happened and those Seasons also had cheating and all of those games were very much in doubt at least a handful of them and if the team
Doesn’t win those games do people come back do you land some of these amazing transfer portal guys does the coaching staff stay does Harbaugh go see there’s a lot more than just what happened this season it’s the ripple effect of a butterflyes wing yep oh yeah oh this is
All a sham it’s a sham keep telling myself this what I’ll keep telling myself that’s uh but yeah here on lockdown Spartans it is ABD always be deflect so that is all never our fault when things are this dire like look if I back into someone in a parking lot sure I’ll
You know exchange insurance information or whatever but like if it’s as bad as this oh we are yeah we are spiraling and we are deflecting baby so that’s just want to make that want to make that very clear so there we go ah Kirby this is
Always fun always a hoot and a half go listen to uh you and Austin on the only podcast if it’s still gonna be a thing you told me before we started recording that if Michigan wins this is going to be a now defunct program but oh no not the secrets out no
Whatever we’re we’re gonna grind through this basketball season we love our son basketball son too much to give up so I know it’s tough yeah it’s tough it’s tough but hey until next time uh here lock on SPS if you have any fill-in the blanks you want to send over just for me

Praying for a ScUM loss tonight…I just can't take that fanbase being more conceited than they already are….
I love rice kitchen!!
Malik Carr was always disappointing. Freakishly athletic, yes. Made a couple of amazing catches, yes. On film and on paper, a theoretical mismatch nightmare for defenses, yes. So why wasn’t he an absolute monster on the field? He dropped too many passes, apparently he couldn’t get open enough to target reliably? He wasn’t even in the game as much as you would expect, so I’ve gotta believe he couldn’t remember plays, or couldn’t/wouldn’t block effectively? Did he have an attitude? It was clear Smith didn’t pursue him, and Carr’s little announcement about not being “wanted” doesn’t shock me at all. With his sheer athleticism, I would not be surprised if an NFL team takes a flier at him, but that doesn’t mean he would ever amount to a great college player. I wish him good luck in Houston, and I look forward to watching MSU’s new Tight Ends actually playing effectively.
Pinball Pete's!
Malik Carr exited himself because of his laziness. Good luck to him in Houston hopefully they can motivate him over there.
I’m not sad about Malik Carr. He had the wrong attitude.
I wish people would stop bashing on Basketball and say they are struggling. Playing at Northwestern especially with the older players they have is no easy game. Cut them some slack and let's wait until the are 1/2 way through the big ten season.
