Does anyone have even the vaguest clue what is happening with Big Ten football in 2020? Doesn't seem like it. Not the cast of The Obligatory PSU Podcast. Not the endless stream of media talking heads and random program "insiders" on Twitter. Probably not even the people who are supposedly in charge of it (maybe them least of all). Recording as we all wait on the latest round of alleged "votes" that will perhaps finally determine the fate of Penn State football this season, Kevin, Chris, and Mike the Mailman commiserate over the uncertainty and the frustration of watching other teams play while the Nittany Lions are sidelined. Plus, Mailman spills the beans on his now-defunct 1-900 number.<a href="https://www.ydr.com/story/sports/college/penn-state/football/2019/05/28/penn-state-football-recruiting-what-if-julian-fleming-picks-ohio-state/3745467002/"> </a> HOSTED BY: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mikethemailman16802/">Mike Herr</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/kevinhornepsu">Kevin Horne</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/buchignani">Chris Buchignani</a>
