Episode Details

The Penn State Nittany Lions Football team concluded spring football on Saturday with the annual Blue-White event. The practice was held inside Beaver Stadium, which itself is a construction site with the west side being blocked off for the day’s events. It was also held in a 50-degree downpour, which limited the attendance. Today, we’ll spend the show discussing what we saw and learned from the practice. Join us for 60 minutes of Penn State football talk, including a new commitment to the recruiting class and dissecting what head coach Matt Campbell had to say afterward. 

Join us live today at 10 a.m. on YouTube as we discuss all of that, plus answer your questions on today’s show! For fans of the show, we are now returning to a 10 a.m. airtime for the rest of the summer. When the team reconvenes, we’ll switch back to a 2 pm air time for Fall camp and the season. The best way to keep up with all of the changes is to subscribe to the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel right now and enable notifications.
