Deep Thoughts on a Beautiful State College Night
Upon returning from their trip to visit the Lake Erie chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association, Brandon, Mike, and Chris kicked back on the front porch rocking chairs at Blue White Media HQ and rolled through a variety of topics, from the profound to the inane. If you’ve ever wondered what sports Mike played in his youth, what coaches and players think about the media, XX, or how much more Brandon knows about football than anyone else on the show, then this one’s for you. It is vintage Obligatory; guys who love Penn State enjoying a wide-ranging, free-wheeling conversation on a warm Happy Valley evening. We’ve got several more of these saved up and will be sharing them
In future installments, we’ll have plenty more random banter with the full Obligatory cast left over from the run-up to kickoff, and our next episode will feature more from one of our first TV guests of the season, former Penn State starting center (and Brandon Noble roommate) Barry Tielsch. Next Friday, the cast will be at the Station Square Hard Rock Cafe with the Greater Pittsburgh chapter the night before the Pitt game (Sept. 7; 6-9pm). For information and tickets visit: psuPGH.com

did you not publish a Toga magazine this year? i asked my idiot nieces and nephews to pick me one up last year, but they were too busy filling their worthy magazinegullets with beer to remember. tell me i missed out on a Pulitzer worthy magazine?
Lol, “not sure if serious,” Mr. McGeehan, but we did indeed publish a Fall 2018 TOGA that just hit the streets this week. Shoot me an email at chris@bluewhitemedia.com with a mailing address, and we’ll send you the latest issue along with a copy of last year’s edition autographed by Mike the Mailman.
As always, you guys are great. Thanks for a few laughs and some good insights. Keep up the great work. WE ARE….Smile, Mike, smile.
