THE OBLIGATORY PSU PREGAME SHOW: EPISODE 611 – MICHIGAN AT PENN STATE

This Week’s Location: The Gamble Mill, 160 Dunlop St, Bellefonte, PA

Even though a once-promising start to the 2021 season appeared all but squandered following a midseason three-game swoon, a win at Maryland, along with some help from other teams around the conference, opened up a possibility for Penn State to salvage a prestigious bowl invitation and a satisfying, double-digit final win total.

Back at the downstairs Speakeasy at The Gamble Mill, Kevin, Mike the Mailman, and Chris (with Brandon Noble out sick – about as common as 242-yard games for PSU receivers!) review the Lions’ stress-inducing win in College Park and celebrate the individual greatness of Jahan Dotson, whose raw talent and clutch playmaking have combined to put him in the conversation with Penn State’s best-ever wide receivers. Additionally, they explore the many attractions that make Happy Valley a year-round destination and chart Penn State’s path to Pasadena and the Rose Bowl. Kevin, Mailman, and Chris give their score predictions for the crucial home tilt with sixth-ranked Michigan + Mike the Mailman looks ahead to some of next weekend’s best gambling plays in his weekly Trends to Treasure segment.

More About Obligatory:

Entering its sixth season, The Obligatory PSU Pregame Show presented by The Happy Valley Adventure Bureau is a TV “tailgate” full of the fun, camaraderie, and passion – from joy to heartbreak and back again – that make Penn State football the healthy obsession of students, alumni, and fans. For every loyal Nittany Lion who can’t be there in person, it’s the next best thing: A weekly dose of Happy Valley to kick off the football weekend. The show’s lovable cast of loyal Penn Staters features former Penn State and NFL defensive tackle Brandon Noble, beloved campus icon Mike the Mailman, former Onward State managing editor Kevin Horne, and five-time Sam’s Club member Chris Buchignani

Filmed from some of the most iconic college bars and recognizable locations in Happy Valley, each weekly episode features not just lively commentary on the games, but also tourism features, town and campus interest stories, visits to sites on the Central PA Tasting Trail, and some sports wagering tips from Mike the Mailman. Our show thrives because it is different. It is engaging because it allows viewers to enjoy a spontaneous, frivolous, and contagious peek into a world that feels an awful lot like four guys simply enjoying themselves while talking college football. The on-field exploits of the Nittany Lions are the focus, but the chemistry between the show’s hosts and the raw honesty stemming from their genuine love of school, team, and place are what distinguish Obligatory from the usual cookie cutter fare.
