Welp… that happened. Another trip to Ann Arbor, another disappointing route. Rinse and repeat. Now comes one of the more critical games in James Franklin’s tenure at Penn State as the Nittany Lions seek to get back on the winning track against Minnesota, playing before a raucous White Out crowd on Homecoming.
Kevin, Chris, and Mike the Mailman are picking up the pieces, analyzing and reacting to another collapse in the Big House, and determining what comes next - against the Golden Gophers and beyond. This week's Letterman Legacy segment features more footage from tight ends coach Ty Howle (2009-13), who talks about the lows of career-shortening injuries and the emotional highs of returning for season-capping wins over Wisconsin in 2012 and 2013.
In segments featuring highlights and exclusive content from the Blue & White Players Show, Goon, Chris, and Aeneas are joined by linebackers Cody Romano and Charlie Katshir. And of course, the guys give their randomly-generated score predictions for the Minnesota game, and we present Mike’s Trends 2 Treasure picks for next weekend.
More About Obligatory:
Entering its seventh season, The Obligatory PSU Pregame Show is a TV “tailgate” full of the fun, camaraderie, and passion - from joy to heartbreak and back again - that make Penn State football the healthy obsession of students, alumni, and fans. For every loyal Nittany Lion who can’t be there in person, it’s the next best thing: A weekly dose of Happy Valley to kick off the football weekend. The show’s lovable cast of loyal Penn Staters features former Penn State and NFL defensive tackle Brandon Noble, beloved campus icon Mike the Mailman, former Onward State managing editor Kevin Horne, and six-time Sam’s Club member Chris Buchignani.
Filmed from Champs Downtown, one of the most iconic college bars and recognizable locations in Happy Valley, each weekly episode features not just lively commentary on the games, but also lifestyle features, town and campus interest stories, interviews with former Penn State players, and some sports wagering tips from Mike the Mailman. Our show thrives because it is different. It is engaging because it allows viewers to enjoy a spontaneous, frivolous, and contagious peek into a world that feels an awful lot like four guys simply enjoying themselves while talking college football. The on-field exploits of the Nittany Lions are the focus, but the chemistry between the show’s hosts and the raw honesty stemming from their genuine love of school, team, and place are what distinguish Obligatory from the usual cookie cutter fare.
