Hundreds of people gathered in the snow early Saturday morning to watch the demolition of the press box in Penn State’s Beaver Stadium. Employees, and elected leaders have had strong reactions to the news that President Joe Biden has rejected Nippon Steel's bid to purchase U.S. Steel. Special elections have cost Pennsylvania taxpayers more than one million dollars to replace members of the legislature who left office early -- since 2023. The Pittsburgh Steelers are reeling heading into the playoffs -- and will be on the road to face their rivals -- the Baltimore Ravens. All eyes were on Pennsylvania’s election directors last year as they carried out one of the biggest, most closely watched elections ever. Sean Drasher runs Lebanon County elections for 92,000 registered voters. He discusses the ups and downs of the November election, what’s next for voters and running for local office.

On their weekly Penn State football podcast, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Nittany Lions insider Joel Haas preview the Fiesta Bowl against Boise State with a trip to the Orange Bowl and College Football Playoff semifinals on the line. Will Ashton Jeanty and the Broncos provide a tougher test than SMU did in Round 1? Or will Penn State's talent advantage yield a similar result? How much will the neutral site factor into the game after the Beaver Stadium crowd was a major factor against the Mustangs? And who will have the biggest performance if Penn State wins? Drew Allar? Nick Singleton? Kaytron Allen? Abdul Carter? Tyler Warren? Or someone else, like Dominic DeLuca, who had a pair of interceptions against SMU? Later our duo ponders the goings on in the rest of the playoff bracket and Penn State world. Should Penn State prefer to face Georgia or Notre Dame in the next round? Should it hope Oregon or Ohio State advances out of the Rose Bowl? Will Troy transfer Devonte Ross provide a boost to the receiving corps in 2025? And what's next for the women's volleyball program after Katie Schumacher-Cawley and Jess Mruzik led it to an eighth national title last weekend?

Penn State insiders Joel Haas and Lyle Alenstein react to Penn State's dominant College Football Playoff victory on Saturday at Beaver Stadium. How far can James Franklin and Drew Allar take the Nittany Lions after finally earning a signature win? Will this victory silence their critics? Or is a Fiesta Bowl win against Boise State in the next round essential to that narrative as well? Can any defense in the playoffs stop running backs Katron Allen and Nick Singleton after their huge days? How much praise do OC Andy Kotelnicki and DC Tom Allen deserve? And have Abdul Carter, Tony Rojas and Dominic DeLuca helped the defense find its stride after forcing numerous turnovers against SMU quarterback Kevin Jennings? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

On their weekly Penn State football podcast, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Nittany Lions insider Joel Haas to preview the College Football Playoff first-round matchup with SMU on Saturday at Beaver Stadium. Is this Drew Allar's big chance to show a big audience what he can do in a do-or-die moment? Have he and coach James Franklin been slept on because casual fans only see them fail in big games? Was Allar's announced return in 2025 a surprise? Or a smart move for his NFL draft stock? And how will the rest of the quarterback room fill out behind him, with Ethan Grunkemeyer and Jaxon Smolik vying to replace transfer Beau Pribula as the No. 2 guy? Our duo tackles those questions and more, including: How much can transfer portal addition Kyron Hudson help the weak wide receiver corps next season? Could former USC Trojans teammates Zachariah and Zion Branch join him in Happpy Valley? Could Penn State see other key players like Abdul Carter, Kaytron Allen or Nick Singleton return next season?

Does the men's basketball team have March Madness potential after receiving AP poll votes this week? And what are the women's volleyball tam's chances to stop rival Pitt from winning a national title this week?
