Terry Smith joined us yesterday and said that Penn State's system wasn't built for Drew Allar. Terry thinks Aaron Rodgers could help teach Allar. Penn State didn't let Allar throw the ball deep until they were trailing. James Franklin wasn't aggressive on offense. Andy Kotelnicki's RPO offense didn't fit Allar's skills.

Penn State associate head coach Terry Smith joined the show. Terry shared how Drew Allar continued to travel and stay involved with Penn State after suffering an injury. "Our system wasn't built for him," Terry said that the system wasn't catered for Drew Allar. He thinks the right coaching can help him. Terry wants Aaron Rodgers to come back and mentor Allar. "I think he's going to be a better pro than college player."

Landon Tengwall blocked for Drew Allar for a season and now breaks down tape. Allar played freer in his first start against West Virginia. Landon thinks Allar was partly ruined by the coaching staff. James Franklin taught Allar to underthrow deep balls for pass interference penalties. There are times you can tell that Allar is in his head. Landon thinks Allar fell because of inconsistencies. Eli Heidenreich had an awesome moment being drafted to the Steelers and being on the draft stage.

Tim Schneider shares his interesting take of the day.

Full Hour 1 in The Sports Bar: Round 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs are set. Sabres vs Bruins Sunday. We are 1 week away from the NFL draft. Sal Capaccio joins the show to go over the latests with the Bills, NFL schedule, the draft & more. Tim shares his take of the day.

Penn State PxP voice Steve Jones joined the show. With the Steelers welcoming the likes of Drew Allar and Vega Ioane over the last 48 hours, Steve had better insight on these guys than anyone. Steve explained what went wrong with Allar last season and if the coaching staff deserves blame. Steve said Allar can make every throw that an NFL team would be looking for, but broke down some of the shortcomings in big moments. Steve said the Penn State fans always wanted more out of Allar because he had the prototypical QB size. What does Allar do well and what needs more work? Steve talked about the growing trend in football offenses and the lack of downfield passing. How does Allar compare to other QBs in this draft class? Steve gave us the skinny on how to pronounce Vega Ioane, since the Steelers may have him high on their board. Steve said Ioane hasn't allowed a sack since 2023 and ‘took care of his yard.' Steve said Ioane is the Quenton Nelson of the draft and regardless of position, he will be of value.

Where you're from doesn't just shape you — it frames how you understand power, loyalty, and loss.Bun B is Houston to the core. Jeffrey Sledge carries New York City wherever he goes. And for Tom Frank, everything starts in State College, Pennsylvania — a town where fall Saturdays felt sacred, Penn State football felt pure, and Happy Valley felt like a place untouched by the rest of the world.Today's guest, Jay Paterno, grew up at the center of that belief system.As a former Penn State assistant coach, trustee, writer, and the son of the late Joe Paterno, Jay lived inside one of the most revered cultures in college sports — and then watched it unravel in public. He speaks openly about legacy, leadership, media narratives, and what it costs to stand inside a storm you can't control. Not from a distance, but from inside his own family.This isn't just a backward-looking conversation. Jay takes the same clear-eyed approach to the modern game — NIL, the transfer portal, revenue sharing, gambling, donor influence — and explains why college athletics is no longer what it pretends to be. His new book -  BLITZED! The All-Out Pressure of College Football's New Era - pulls back the curtain on a system stretched to its limits, where pressure, money, and identity collide every Saturday.This episode isn't about defending the past. It's about context, consequence, and where the game is headed."Unglossy" is produced and distributed by Merrick Studio and hosted by Bun B, Tom Frank and Jeffrey Sledge.
