Dynasty Media Week 0 launch archive · v7 immersion pass
Michigan State, 2026 · Week 0

A louder, stranger, more lived-in launch week.

v6 is about immersion: Reddit comments now have vote counts and actual back-and-forth, social has replies and uneven engagement, BarstoolMSU posts like a meme account instead of a columnist, and Week 1 gets its own Grambling preview thread plus second podcast and radio scripts.
