The Obligatory PSU Podcast: Fall 2025, Episode 17

Penn State’s former coach, James Franklin, has officially locked down his next gig. Penn State’s current coach, Terry Smith, got his first win, brought home the Land-Grant Trophy, and then brought down the house with an emotional press conference when he explained exactly what it means to him to be leading the football program at his alma mater. The guys talk about the future of Franklin at Virginia Tech and the future at Penn State and Terry’s place in it.

The Obligatory PSU Podcast: Fall 2025, Episode 16

From the players to the coaches to the fans, everybody brought their Saturday best against Indiana, but in keeping with the theme of this cursed season, it wasn’t enough. The Hoosiers prevailed, and in heart-breaking fashion, narrowly avoiding a costly upset loss and denying Coach Terry Smith and the beleaguered Penn State fanbase the signature win they deserve. And yet amid that disappointment there also arose a powerful reminder of everything that makes Penn State football great – the resilient stuff that will survive this moment as it has endured many tougher trials in the past and will be here waiting, strong as ever, when the storm breaks and the next coach arrives.

The Obligatory PSU Podcast: Fall 2025, Episode 15

Following the annual dispiriting loss to Ohio State – somehow both more AND less discouraging than usual – the unranked Penn State Nittany Lions return home to face undefeated and second-ranked Indiana as double-digit underdogs… IN FOOTBALL. What is this world coming to? And what’s next? Real “wrath of God” type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling. Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes. Volcanoes. The dead rising from the grave.

The Obligatory PSU Podcast: Fall 2025, Episode 14

Bye Week’s over now. Back to the real world.

Penn State didn’t get the win in Terry Smith’s debut as interim head coach versus Iowa, but they did cover the spread for the first time this season. Can the Nittany Lions make it a streak and keep the margin within three touchdowns in Columbus? It seems like the best a beleaguered Nittany Nation can hope for. The guys ponder PSU’s quest for small comfort against the top-ranked Buckeyes and a college coaching carousel that is quickly spinning out of control.

The Obligatory PSU Podcast: Fall 2025, Episode 13

Time to refocus on football, concentrate on all that lies ahead, and make an uplifting episode about the future and its boundless possibilities. Or at least that was the plan for this week. Then Horne got into the good stuff, and, well, it turns out we’re not all the way over the breakup just yet. Maybe next week.

After all, just like the Penn State football team’s season and the Athletic Department’s quest for a championship-winning coach: If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.

The Obligatory PSU Podcast: Fall 2025, Episode 12

What began with such promise and hope in the wake of Bill O’Brien’s departure has now come to an end in a fashion heretofore unseen at Penn State. James Franklin has been relieved of his duties as head football coach of the Nittany Lions.

Athletic Director Pat Kraft has addressed Nittany Nation about the decision and interim head coach Terry Smith, a Nittany Lion through and through, has previewed what’s next for the team’s team six regular season games.

Way more ground to cover than we can handle in a single episode, but the guys at least begin to unpack some of the most monumental news in the history of Penn State football.

FRODO  (calm)
I’m glad to be with you, Samwise  Gamgee, here at the end of all things.

The Obligatory PSU Podcast: Fall 2025, Episode 10

Welp….

Nothing quite like a fresh Obligatory when the guys are (sadly) at their best to cure what ails ya.

Uncurl yourself from the fetal position, take your medicine, and crawl back into the saddle, because UCLA beckons, and you know you’re too dumb, addicted, and masochistic to resist Saturday’s siren song.

The Obligatory PSU Podcast: Fall 2025, Episode 9

Every so often, there comes a crucial inflection point so fraught with meaning and pregnant with possibility, mere contemplation of its monumental consequence can bring the beholder to the brink of insanity. Such is the state of affairs for much of Penn State’s fan base leading up to the third-ranked Nittany Lions’ clash with Oregon under the lights at the White Out. With so much on the line, and every criticism of coach and quarterback in the biggest games ringing in their ears, Chris and Kevin air their hopes, fears, and frustrations about one game that could very well shatter or cement every narrative that has dogged this program for a decade, sorting through the jangled nerves, rankled senses, and shattered confidence brought on by a decade of perpetual failures in moment of truth. All the while, Brandon and Mailman marvel at grotesque spectacle of their tortured thinking.

If you need to share in the self-administered coping mechanisms to soothe your mania and hasten the long hours until game day (and GameDay), then join us and ease your troubled heart and mind. However, if you count yourself among the rational and well-adjusted, why then you can just kick back and join Mike the Mailman and Noble in their bemusement at the curious madness of Horne and Buchignani.

Either way, we can think of worse ways to count down the minutes to what promises to be among the most consequential evenings in Beaver Stadium history.

HOSTED BY: Brandon Noble, Mike “The Mailman” Herr, Kevin Horne, Chris Buchignani
