Roar Lions Roar: A Penn State Football Podcast

On today's episode of the podcast, we talk about Purdue. WAIT DON'T STOP LISTENING I PROMISE THIS EPISODE IS GOOD. Bill and Nick are joined by Dan Smith of Roar Lions Roar, and after a super brief discussion about Ohio State, the guys, um, "preview" Purdue. It's mostly Dan just reading the school's Wikipedia page. The group also picks Big Ten games and Dan plays the PennLive game. A lot happened i...

On today's episode of the podcast, Bill and Nick have a quick discussion about Penn State's win over Ohio State, which is still incredible. Both dudes went back and re-watched the game and gave some thoughts before addressing a very serious thing: there is a good chance that Penn State goes 10-2. What can keep the Nittany Lions from getting there, and what needs to go right for this to occur? Host...

Folks,,; Penn State beat Ohio State on Saturday night. It was *amazing* three Roar Lions Roar staff members who were in attendance – Bill, Nick, and podcast debut-ee Kevin Fay – gathered in Bill's basement (sorry for the bad audio) to discuss the game. I'll be 100 percent honest, it's 2:22 in the morning right now and I kinda wanna go to bed so that's all for the description. Oh, also: buy some sh...

We're approximately halfway through the college football season (which, sad face). What better way to celebrate than by handing out some mid-year awards in the B1Ggest conference in college football?

We have a brand new episode of the pod, and unlike last week's recap, Bill and Nick aren't trying to put a silver lining on a loss. Penn State beat Minnesota in overtime, 29-26, and the dudes are joined by soon-to-be former Centre Daily Times reporter Jourdan Rodrigue to discuss the win. Jourdan also played the PennLive Game.

Penn State lost to Michigan. It was not fun. Today's episode of Roar Lions Radio discusses the loss. Bill and Nick tried to be less sad about the loss than they were when the game ended.

The non-conference slate is over, and on today's issue of Roar Lions Radio, Bill and Nick sat down to recap Penn State's first three games.

The pod is back! Bill is the only usual suspect on this episode while Nick is tied up elsewhere, so we replaced Polak with someone who knows Temple football.

Hosted on Acast....

Should we talk about Pitt? I suppose we should talk about Pitt. Bill and Nick are joined on this episode of the podcast by fellow RLRer Dan Vecellio.

Make sure you stick around until the end, because the trio picks Big Ten games from this week's abomination of a schedule. Hosted...

The boys are back in town to discuss Penn State's 33-13 season-opening win over Kent State.

The offseason is almost over, and to celebrate, Bill and Nick were joined by fellow RLR staff member Matt de Bear to preview Penn State's season opener against Kent State.
