After a tumultuous season, Penn State has finally made it to what the Big Ten originally dubbed "Champions Week" but which has turned out to be anything but, as they discuss at length in this week's Gathmania Gripe. Regardless, Tom & Andy eventually get to talking the team's final opponent of the Big Ten slate, a struggling Illinois squad that is fresh off the firing of head coach Lovie Smith. The boys also touch on the recently concluded early signing day, previewing some of the new recruits. They conclude with another segment of Rick's Picks.
