"The Battle Ground" 1st Installment



There's always been wars between Michigan and MSU...about who has the better football program (MI), basketball team (MSU), college co-eds (MSU again)...but nothing gets quite as personal in this rivalry than when the two school go head-to-head for in-state recruits.

Yesterday on the show I had a chance in interview Paul Konyndyk from SpartanMag.com, and Chris Balas from TheWolverine.com, and I thought it would be a perfect time to debut "The Battle Ground" which pits a Michigan and State Insiders against each other.

Today's Subject: MSU has apparently gotten the jump on Michigan in terms of in-state early commitments in football.

Sparty On: Paul Konyndyk from Spartan Mag tells us that this is probably the best early-recruiting start in MSU history. He also says MSU probably has one of the best running back classes in the country already. And give his take on why Michigan has gotten beaten so far in the race for the class of '09.
Listen to Paul:



Go Blue: Chris Balas from The Wolverine talks about Rich Rodriguez's adjustment to recruiting the state of MI, and how this staff is approaching the recruiting process. He talks about Michigan's Junior Day coming up this Thursday; and why he thinks MSU has had this early success on the recruiting trail.
Listen to Chris:




As always, comments are appreciated
