The Obligatory PSU Podcast

Chris Buchignani and guest panelist Mike Levine analyze Penn State's 2019 roster on offense and defense.

Show Notes

Or, That Time Chris Took Over and Talked Nothing But Football

Forced by scheduling issues - and/or pulling rank to hi-jack the #content - to work without Brandon, Mailman, and Kevin for this episode, Chris enlists the assistance of friend and fellow LION 90.7fm alum Mike Levine to analyze the 2019 Penn State roster on both sides of the football. The excitement of a young, but undeniably talented squad is one of the key offseason storylines for the Nittany Lions. Just what do James Franklin and staff have to work with heading into this season? Chris and Mike break down each position group, talk about their hopes and expectations for team leaders and breakout performers, and rank their confidence levels for each position on offense and defense.

If you're one of those #Obligatory fans who wishes the guys talked a little more football from time to time, then this episode is for you. Otherwise, just sit tight. We'll back to the usual non-sequitur absurdity in short order.

HOSTED BY: Chris Buchignani

GUEST: Mike Levine
