Welcome back in from Lions 24-7 podcast. I am Tyler Donahue. We've got a lot to dive into. We talked about it on our post-game podcast from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Last time we sat down to record that in college football, the offseason comes fast and furious. We've experienced that in the last few days for Penn State.

Been a lot of positives, though, if you're looking at the Nittany Lions and how things are shaking

up for the 2025 season. We're going to spend a little bit of time, though, on this episode,

looking back at how things ended for the 2024 campaign down there in South Florida.

Kind of make sense of that playoff run at large for Penn State and to do that bringing

in Mark Brennan, Daniel Gowan, everyone's back situated in their residing in their homes again.

It feels like that's been a long time since all three of us.

We're on the podcast from our houses.

So hopefully you guys have settled in a little bit

after all the travel. A big tip of the cap to both of you. You were at every single road game this

year. I got to join you down at the Orange Bowl. We had hoped to go down to Atlanta. I get to

cover one more game. It didn't work out that way. But Mark and Daniel, you both kicked ass.

And in road coverage this year from Brennan Cam to the free game notes.

So I just wanted to take the time to acknowledge that,

and especially for Daniel, who had to find different nooks and crannies in whatever campus of the city he was located,

sometimes at 2 or 3 a.m. to do a postgame podcast with us.

So thanks, guys.

Yeah, it was fun to do.

And obviously, you controlling things back at the home

base was extremely, extremely helpful and took a lot of stress off of us while we were on the road.

So thanks. And thanks to TC also for pitching in when he had to. And obviously Don't for doing all

the recruiting stuff. And the intern for when she made the trip.
