The Obligatory PSU Podcast

Listing some favorite Penn State Nittany Lions football players from 1997 to present.

Show Notes

Every sports fan forms lasting connections with certain players on their favorite teams, whether because of skill, toughness, personality, or all three. Sometimes it's an unforgettable performance in a crucial moment, others we simply gravitate toward a certain player for reasons even we don't understand. When it comes to standout performers worth remembering, Penn State football fans have been blessed with an embarrassment of riches. Crack open some beers and get a long-time fan going on their favorite Lions to don the Blue and White, and you might be entertained for hours. As KSN's Keystone Kickoff show looks back over Penn State football throughout the decades, Jim asked Chris to follow up last week's list of favorite games with reflections on some of his favorite players. In this episode, they discuss 10 Nittany Lions he's had the opportunity to see play in person and who's contributions to Penn State football left a lasting impression.

FEATURING: Chris Buchignani, Jim Galanti
