The Obligatory PSU Podcast

The Nittany Lions look to make it three in a row versus Michigan State.

Show Notes

Well, it has been, as they'd say in days of yore, "a long, strange trip," but we are finally coming down to the last weeks of 2020 and its suitably bizarre fake college football season. How many games do the Nittany Lions have left after this weekend? One? Two? None? Who knows? We are reasonably sure that Penn State will have a chance to extend its winning streak to three games versus Michigan State on Senior Day. Befitting this relatively unexciting matchup with Sparty to end the regular season (ah, the good old days), the guys deliver an episode that really shows off Obligatory's range: From briefly applauding Penn State basketball and trashing the college football playoff rankings to waxing poetic about 900 wins and even talking about this week's football game. We hope to consistently bring a little mirth to this pandemic-addled holiday season all across Nittany Nation. #WeAre

HOSTED BY: Brandon Noble, Mike Herr, Kevin Horne, Chris Buchignani
