The Obligatory PSU Podcast

Chris "The Buzzsaw" Adamski of the PIttsburgh Tribune-Review joins the guys to look back on his time on the Penn State beat spanning the end of Bill O'Brien's tenure and the start of the James Franklin era.

Show Notes

Perhaps no two-year span in the history of Penn State football held a greater combination of good, bad, unforgettable, regrettable, remarkable, and confusing than 2013-2014. This time period saw arguably the greatest game in Beaver Stadium history in State's four-overtime win over Michigan in 2013 along with its biggest road upset (by point spread) versus Wisconsin in that same year. It also included a laundry list of embarrassing losses. Bill O'Brien left. James Franklin arrived. The team struggled with roster depth resulting from unprecedented sanctions, but also saw those restrictions begin getting rolled back. To reflect on it all, the guys welcomed Buchignani's fellow student radio alum Chris "Buzzsaw" Adamski of TribLive.com, who covered the team during those years before transitioning to the Pittsburgh Steelers beat. Stay safe. Stay sanitized. Stay home. #WeAre
