Black Shoe Diaries Podcast 20: Penn State Football Q&A

We tried something a little different yesterday, and asked you for questions to be addressed on the podcast. Needless to say, this was a beautiful mistake and we'll be doing it again. It was so great that we had to break up the podcast into two separate files. So here's the Q&A portion, which is about 30 minutes in length. We got to a rather significant portion of them.

Black Shoe Diaries Podcast 19: Chris & Kevin & Wild Horses Part I

The podcast returns with a deluxe two-part edition. The first half is a discussion of BOB and the BOBettes, as they emerge from the massive shadow of Joe Paterno and attempt to recruit in the Age Of That Thing. We also talk about the big news of yesterday -- the mind-blowing decision by the Board of Trustees to release the "Oh, in case you didn't remember, here's why we fired Paterno and Graham Spanier" statement on the day of Jerry Sandusky's pre-trial hearing.


The second half will be coming soon, and is a 30-minute session of mostly serious responses to your partially serious questions.

Black Shoe Diaries Podcast 18: Penn State Football With ESPN's Adam Rittenberg

Two Adams don't make a right. Black Shoe Diaries' favorite Adam (Collyer) joins me on the latest BSD podcast, which includes a guest appearance by ESPN's Adam Rittenberg. I know many of you have strong feelings about ESPN and their coverage of Penn State over the past three months, but Rittenberg is a really good guy who knows what he is talking about and we certainly appreciate him taking time out of his busy schedule to join us.

Some minor technical difficulties popped up at spots, but the conversation was a good one that included Penn State's recent recruiting success, an outlook for 2012, and Adam Collyer stating that Nick Saban and Urban Meyer are equals.

Some other things to look out for:

2012 Big Ten predictions (Michigan State is a popular pick, and we can't really pick a Leaders Division favorite)
Big Ten Heisman candidates (Collyer names Silas Redd, but only as his dark horse candidate)
