Another year, another national title for Cael Sanderson and Penn State wrestling (the program’s fourth straight and eighth in the past nine years). In this week’s installment of “The Obligatory PSU Pregame Show,” Mike the Mailman and Kevin regale Chris and Brandon with tales of their weekend in Pittsburgh for the national tournament, from the drama on the mat and lousy sight lines to their after-hours adventures sampling local craft beer and sneaking into alumni functions.
Have Lions fans become spoiled by Penn State’s annual dominance of NCAA wrestling?
Perhaps even more importantly, the world-famous Penn State Berkey Creamery is pitting some of its most beloved flavors (and raspberry frozen yogurt) against each other in its Flavor Madness bracket challenge, and the “Obligatory” team has the scoop (sorry).
The guys break down all the key matchups, including an egregious seeding error that calls the entire tournament’s validity into question, while continuing their campaign for a Mailmain-themed ice cream flavor. #MaltTheMailman
“The Obligatory PSU Pregame Show” stars former Penn State defensive tackle (1992-96) Brandon Noble, beloved campus icon Mike “The Mailman” Herr, and Other Cast Members Kevin Horne and Chris Buchignani.
