As always, Monday's show is live so join the program at 8 pm and ask your questions or get you comments on air! However, they have a bevy of topics to discuss. The first of which is the transfer portal. Penn State is sending out more offers each day but so far, no immediate activity from the Lions in terms of commitments. Top portal target Dante Cephas visited over the weekend, but so far, nothing has popped. Is Penn State weighing all options? Or is something else at play? Bauer and T-Frank will discuss and update fans with the most recent portal names and offers that make sense for the team. 

While the portal is still warming up, the first commitment of the December recruiting period popped up on Monday. Four-star defensive end Joseph Mupoyi chose the Nittany Lions after his official visit this weekend. T-Frank and Bauer will discuss the 6-4, 235-pound edge rusher and what he represents for the program. 

Next, they'll look at the recruiting board of top schools and compare where Penn State sits. Finally, Bauer and T-Frank will discuss where the team will likely finish and how this group corresponds to previous seasons. 

Next, they'll update fans on the news heading into the Rose Bowl. Both Utah and Penn State received news that they will be without their top receivers for the game in January over the weekend. They'll discuss this impact on the game and how each team can overcome losing critical cogs on both sides of the ball. Defensively, both teams will also be without top cover corners Joey Porter Jr. for Penn State and Clark Phillips III for Utah. 

Finally, they'll discuss Penn State basketball's big win over Illinois on Saturday. The Nittany Lions upset the Illini 74-59 to move to 7-3 on the year. How big of a win was it for the program, and what does it do for the team's season outlook? Bauer and T-Frank will discuss that and preview what's next for the Nittany Lions.
