While it's true that neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays Mike the Mailman from his appointed podcast appearances, he's got nothing on Kevin Horne's ironclad commitment to the devoted Obligatory audience in their hour of greatest n... more
Recorded roughly 12 hours after the Nittany Lions completed an embarrassing pillar-to-post implosion at Northwestern, the guys give their raw reactions to this latest indignity in what is currently the torturous experience of Penn State football fand... more

Love the show. Especially Chris and of course hearing from PSU legend Mike the mailman.
But by god, Kevin Horne I don’t know of any reporter that has so much disdain for the team the cover. You represent the most cynical part of the Penn state fan base. You act like james franklin and the boys ran over your dog repeatedly. Are you ever positive about anything PSU related? We run a first class program and are not perfect. But listening to you makes it sound like PSU is a complete dumpster fire.... more
One of best and most authentic PSU podcasts out there. I especially appreciate the honest opinions and criticisms of Franklin and the football program (including their shortcomings for big games). Often their views are shared by many other PSU alumni and football fans who consistently support the team and are consistently disappointed. Please keep up the good work. Thanks!
Used to watch these jamokes on TV and then they disappeared. Happy to see them resurface on another platform and giving it their best effort to keep it free.
It’s a five star podcast with the exception of Kevin Horne. His football knowledge is less than my dog Barkley. He constantly makes ridiculous nonsensical comments like Katron Allen can’t break tackles . I’m not sure he understands what he says or knows any better. In addition to his constant negativity and droning on about his dislike for the coaching staff.
5 stars to the rest of the crew.
A whiteout week surprise to see the new show notification pop up for my drive to work this morning.
Just like getting together with my high school or college buddies after not seeing them in years. You guys didn’t miss a beat.
Welcome back.
