"We have to acknowledge, it is not in the best interest of Ohio State Basketball to make the NCAA Tournament." Jonathan Smith talks about the positive side of missing March Madness.

"No Indiana coordinators are taking head coaching jobs. That program has complete alignment. . .Hartline has two goals: be the best coach at USF and win a national title. You can't be 100% in both places." Jake Butt is skeptical of the commitment to both Ohio State and USF

Senior Linebacker, Sonny Styles poses for a picture with Linebackers Coach, James Laurinaitis, and his children.

"I can't blame those coaches for looking at Curt Cignetti and Ryan Day going head-to-head and saying 'Curt Cignetti beat him. Just now, with less talent'. . . Fair or not, that's how we measure this." Jonathan Smith explains why other coaches rank Cignetti above Ryan Day.

"But if Ryan Day wasn't sure that Arthur Smith was the right fit from a culture standpoint, from an interview standpoint, as a guy that people will want to play for standpoint - then this doesn't happen." Jeremy Birmingham on the culture impact Arthur Smith will have on the Buckeyes.

"At this point, conversations being what they are, I fully expect now that Oregon will be the team to sign Chris Henry Jr."

"I had to eat a medium pizza everyday before practice because I couldn't maintain weight." T-Bone & Tyvis asked Ryan Shazier about being on PROBATION PIZZA at Ohio State

Ohio State walks out to Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs”

"I think the whole mythology of the 'Michigan Man' is dead. Stop talking about your high ground, your moral compass. You have none at Michigan." Jonathan Smith is fed up with the "Michigan Man" messaging!

"What about the recruits that want to go to the NFL. If Ohio State Quarterbacks don't pan out in the NFL why would they want to go there?" T-Bone & Tyvis on Buckeye QB's development not panning out in the NFL

"That was the sign that he knew then Ohio State had not done everything entirely to the level expected to win the game and there was gonna be some trepidation." Austin Ward on how Ohio State didn’t lose to Indiana on the field — they lost during the week.

"I think Brian Daboll would be a great hire for this. . . Someone who comes in and is the Matt Patricia of the offense and let Ryan Day be the head coach." Adam King is on board with the idea of the former Giants head coach becoming a Buckeye.

"The Alabama and Georgia series will not be played by Ohio State...the marquee non conference games that have stakes now exist in the college football playoff." Austin Ward on the Buckeyes upcoming nonconference series

Austin and Birm are back. Austin Ward Jeremy Birmingham

"I played college basketball at OU Lancaster." "That does not count!" Cole Here! and Isaia Jacob call out Jacob Rhymer about his college hoops career! 😅

"I think he needs to run it some, I don't think it will be designed runs. Ohio State needs to be able to use it at times, not just extending plays in the pocket...They have always been reluctant to run the Quarterback." Austin Ward on Julian Sayin needing to evolve in the run game

James Laurinaitis calls live from the NFL Draft and talks how Sonny Styles and Arvell Reese's success helps the recruitment process. "If you're serious about development, you come to Ohio State." Jeremy Birmingham Austin Ward

"You're right there knocking on the door. Worst case you're thinking you're getting a field goal. Not only do you get nothing, you give up seven. It's a 10 point swing if not a 14 point swing." Bobby Carpenter recounts the devastating pick six against the Buckeyes.
