  • Raw and authentic podcasting

    Awesome episode Cory and Shawn, I found your recap after the Oregon game to be very therapeutic. I appreciate that you are willing to get real regarding the state of the team and say things other pods aren’t willing to. Keep up the great work.

  • PSU Football enhanced by this pod

    Listening to this pod helps me learn more about this team every week. Love the hosts and how they are not afraid to be critical, but they are always fair. Like the return to independent broadcasting - much more authentic. Keep up the great work!

  • Great show

    Love how frank the show is. Love how knowledgeable the hosts are. Too many of these type of shows are a sell out - this one is not.

  • Penn State Football fans, look no further - this is the best PSU podcast around

    After listening to more than a few competing PSU podcasts, if you bleed blue and white and live for the roar of the Nittany Lion, look no further! As a Penn State football fan and alum, I've scoured the web for the ultimate coverage, and hands down, this podcast reigns supreme.

    From the kickoff to the final whistle of each game, and throughout the entire offseason, Cory and Shawn navigate the world of Penn State football with unparalleled passion. The chemistry between them is great, they’ll ha... more

  • Look No Further Penn State Fans

    After listening to a handful of PSU podcasts, I came across Cory and Shaun's PSU Hardcore podcast this season and haven't looked back since. These guys take the time to analyze each aspect of every Penn State game - including review of game film - in all three phases of play, and often times their analysis leads to conclusions that are in direct contrast to what you might hear not only in national media, but also from some in local media as well as in other competing PSU creators whose "hot tak... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 198 | Part Two
Q: How do you think that's going to change the defense now that we're going to be seeing, obviously, a heavier workload from Dom DeLuca?
It's a blow to the Penn State defense, which has played very well. DeLuca will start, but we're unsure how well he'll handle the workload against tough teams.
Ep. 198 | Part Two
Q: Do you think there's any chance they could have some kind of turnaround like that, where they really get back to growth from losses, at least mid-season?
Yes, it's possible, but it must start up front with the offensive line.
Ep. 195 | For Ducks Sake
Q: What should we expect from the Oregon special teams?
The special teams have been excellent, their punter has made significant contributions, and they haven't given up a punt return yet.
Ep. 195 | For Ducks Sake
Q: What have you heard so far from the players, from the coaches, from the fans, as far as maybe their level of excitement and their concern heading into Saturday?
It's a definite concern, and the excitement is high, especially for the night game environment.
Ep. 195 | For Ducks Sake
Q: How's it been for you in covering Oregon and probably having to do a lot more early starts than you probably were used to?
It's an adjustment, but it's not a big adjustment for me. Those 9 a.m. games are great because you watch the game and then you have four or five daylight hours to follow up and get all your work done.
