Good news, friends, the first bye week of the year is behind us. Penn State is on the road this week, taking on Maryland in what seems like it has the potential to be an awfully weird game. Bill and Nick get you prepped on this week's edition of the pod for a Friday night contest against a pesky Terrapin squad, one that will assuredly look to make a statement on their home field against the ranked Nittany Lions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Penn State won. We — Bill and Matt (but not the Matt you usually hear on here!) — spoke about it. Pat Narduzzi opted to kick a field goal from the one-yard line and it backfired.(NOTE: In the pod, Bill mentions a piece by our pal Bill Connelly in which big plays are compared to threes in basketball.

You may have noticed that our Penn State vs. Pitt preview was a touch...one-sided. So today, we did a special bonus edition of the pod with our pal John McGonigal of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Anyway, we discuss the Sparty game, the return of Josh Reaves, what needs to happen for Penn State to make some kind of postseason run this year, the 2014 team for some reason, and the Super Bowl, because Eric tricked us into an analogy he wanted to make. It was fun, which in the end is all that really matters as we float through space on the third rock from the sun. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
