  • What Happened

    This used to be one of the best Penn State football podcasts.. while I respect Mark Brennan as a writer, since he has been allowed to have his voice heard more often, it's gone down hill. He talks WAY too much and no one wants his old man takes, and I'm in my 40's. For goodness sake, turn his mic off sometimes.

    Brennan is the only one worth listening to anymore. Others are robotic without any interesting takes or chemistry. BWI eats their lunch and stuffs them in a locker.
