(00:00-15:54) Ballers was warm garbage. A delicious chip but no good for ya. Bring back Arliss. Blues win in the new sweaters. Audio of Jim Montgomery on liking the team's response last night. That dreaded two-goal lead. Top offensive players not getting much done. Martin's got his rightsholder's Blues glasses. Doug's not plowing anyone. Jackson's handicap and ruined psyche.(16:02-40:53) Happy 80th Birthday, Neil Young. What would Wall Street look like with a mermaid? Per the Gabe DeArmond of Penn State, Drink to Happy Valley is picking up a little momentum. Jackson doesn't wanna do Man on the Street anymore. If Drink left how would the fan base feel about James Franklin? Go get your bag. Tom O'Toole will be joining us later with an announcement on Normandie Golf Course.(41:03-49:46) How come we haven't mentioned the big Illini win? Jackson's love for basketball is so hoth. Audio of Jordan Binnington talking about the milestone of passing Mike Liut for most games played in franchise history. Is Binner the best goalie in franchise history? Not much upside to Doug's river birch.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On their weekly Penn State football podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Nittany Lions insider Isaiah Maldonado react to the loss against Indiana and look ahead to s matchup with Michigan State this week. Did coach Terry Smith and QB Ethan Grunkemeyer reveal the problem with former coach James Franklin's program culture in declaring a moral victory against the Hoosiers? And calling out critics of the team's effort level in defeat? Should a team with Penn State's talent level not be expected to beat --- or at least compete closely -- with a roster like Indiana's? Even when the Hoosiers are ranked No. 2 in the country? And where will coach Curt Cignetti, QB Fernando Mendoza and Indiana go from here? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Can Kaytron Allen, Dani Dennis-Sutton, Nick Singleton and Penn State's other standouts still lift this team to a bowl game appearance? And does Texas A&M coach Mike Elko become a more viable candidate for Penn State by the week, as his team keeps winning without Elko receiving a contract extension? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

We come off a bye still without a coach and facing one of the teams most linked to our top candidate James Franklin. We welcome Jesse from Plant the Spear onto the show to talk James Franklin rumblings and help us preview the Hokies road matchup at Doak Campbell Stadium.

You never know where the conversation is going to go when Ryan McGee joins the guys and today was no different! From Dale Murphy to fan bases getting angry by his Bottom 10 to bad IPAs, and much more, buckle up and enjoy! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welp, we ran long... but we had a lot to unpack! In this episode, a quick look back at some of the storylines from Week 11 (and beyond) that deserve a little more attention, including Nebraska's "professional" win over UCLA, Bear Bachmeier's measurables, Delaware's quiet season, the weirdness of Kentucky and Duke football, and something we're calling the Pitt Measuring Stick. Then, we pose six big questions for each other, taking a look at our favorite team outside the top four, the best landing spot for James Franklin, how to fix bad refs, the most and least trustworthy QBs, the best remaining game, and more. And finally, we close out with an extended look at Notre Dame's trip to Pitt and a revenge spot for Texas on the road against Georgia.

College football season this year is…. different. How so, you ask? It's not just the breakout success of Indiana's Hoosiers and the crushing disappointment of Penn State, although those are both noteworthy developments. It's the golden parachutes being doled out to bad coaches from public schools. Some of the biggest parachutes we've so far include Penn State's payout to coach James Franklin to the tune of $49 million dollars. We also have another big payout to Brian Kelly at LSU. So far across the country, we're looking at millions in go-away payouts for failing college football coaches from public colleges, colleges where many students continue to take on exorbitant debt to earn a degree. Is this okay? USA TODAY Senior National College Football Writer Matt Hayes and USA TODAY Sports Project Reporter Steve “Berk” Berkowitz join USA TODAY's The Excerpt to dig into all of it.Have feedback on the show?

Paul Catalina, co-host of 365 Sports and creator of Paul Catalina's Top 5, breaks down his latest list — “Buyout Babies Who Want Back In.” Catalina ranks five former head coaches with massive payouts or legal settlements who are ready to return to the sidelines, including Ed Orgeron, Jon Gruden, James Franklin, Pat Fitzgerald, and Jimbo Fisher. He explains why each could resurface in 2025, which programs might be the best fit, and how coaching experience and redemption stories will shape the next wave of college football hires.

WVU football and coach Rich Rodriguez are in the mix for two highly rated high school recruits for the 2026 class that previously committed to Penn State, but reopened their recruitment after the Nittany Lions fired James Franklin. In this live show, Couz will talk about both of those players and WVU's chances of landing them. He will also talk about a unique recruit WVU is going after, along with some WVU men's basketball talk. Kevin Brown is a 4-star offensive lineman with ties to WVU and it appears the Mountaineers are in a good spot to land him. However, they have tough competition with the Ohio State Buckeyes. Can WVU pull it off? Another star recruit WVU is in the mix for is 5-star Safety, Matt Sieg. The dual threat athlete is also committed to Penn State, but WVU has made his final cut for a unique reason. WVU could also sign a former pro basketball player. Couz will talk about that as well. Finally, Couz will give his take on WVU basketball's win over Campbell in game two of the Ross Hodge era. #wvu #wvufootball #wvumountaineers Sources: On3/Rivals: https://www.on3.com/rivals/news/west-virginia-building-momentum-for-a-major-flip-in-the-2026-class/ 247 Sports WVSportsNow: https://wvsportsnow.com/top-wpial-prospect-penn-state-commit-matt-sieg-to-take-wvu-ov/ WPIAL Insider: https://x.com/wpial_insider?s=21 ⭐️Sponsors: ⭐️ DraftKings Sportsbook: https://www.draftkings.com/ Appalachia Digital: http://appalachiadigital.com/couz/ Get Your Tailgating Stuff HERE: http://victorytailgate.pxf.io/CouzCornhole

Host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise to ponder Penn State football's future in the Big Ten landscape amid Indiana's meteoric rise with the two teams facing off this weekend. This show is presented by FanDuel. Are the second-ranked Hoosiers a short-term flash in the pan under coach Curt Cignetti? Or are they here to stay beyond 2025? Do they have the resources to challenge the Nittany Lions on the field in the years to come? Or will they revert into something closer to their historical also-ran status in the Big Ten? And what's the importance of Terry Smith, Ethan Grunkemeyer, Kaytron Allen and Dani Dennis-Sutton managing an upset this weekend at the program level? Our duo tackles those questions; the possibility that Curt Cignetti could still be an option in the Penn State coaching search to replace James Franklin; and the viability of other candidates including Texas A&M's Mike Elko, Vanderbilt's Clark Lea and Georgia Tech's Brent Key. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

They debate which coaches are truly on the hot seat at Miami and Tennessee, question Notre Dame's Top 10 ranking, and react to the latest AP and College Football Playoff polls.    10:09 James Franklin: Ideal Quick Fix Coach 13:18 Hokie Nation, ACC Shake-Up 20:21 Miami's Stadium & Fan Critique 27:57 Team's Peak and Decline Analysis 31:00 Playoff Potential Decline Concerns 33:51 Matt Rule's Year Four Potential 40:15 ACU Apologizes for Offensive Post 47:06 College Football Poll Rant 52:22 Uncertainty Surrounds Louisville's Success 59:07 Weekend Weather and Betting Update  

On their weekly Penn State football podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Nittany Lions insider Isaiah Maldonado to sort through the team's recurring issues in the wake of the loss to Ohio State. Did James Franklin whiff harder on hiring Andy Kotelnicki as OC or Jim Knowles as DC? On the offensive side, why is Kotelnicki so devoted to gimmicky plays without Tyler Warren still on the roster? Has Drew Allar been exonerated by the offense's continuing struggles without him? Are receivers Trebor Pena, Kyron Hudson and Devote Ross this bad? Or is the vertical passing game they're playing in just poorly conceived by their coordinator? And what can we make of Ethan Grunkemeyer's performance in this offense so far? On the defensive side of the ball, was Knowles just too much of a philosophical shift from Tom Allen and Manny Diaz? Why haven't Dani Dennis-Sutton, Zane Durant and Zuriah Fisher had more success up front? Were they overrated? Or has Knowles misused them? And why didn't Knowles have better solutions for Julian Sayin, Jeremiah Smith and the Buckeyes offense he was so familiar with, having coached alongside it last season? Our duo tackles those questions, then briefly previews this week's matchup with second-ranked Indiana at Beaver Stadium. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
