Ohio State will host Michigan State to open the New Year as the Buckeyes move into conference play full-time. To open the episode, we discuss driving and traffic safety on the roads. Then, we recap Ohio State's win over Indiana State and discuss what a unique non-conference slate for the Buckeyes was that ultimately ended okay. We end the episode by jumping into the Michigan State game and previewing the current Spartans. Michigan State is 10-2 this season, 2-0 in conference play, and No. 18 in the country, so this would be a huge win for the Buckeyes if they can get it. Also, where does Bruce Thornton rank in terms of the top players in the conference? Make sure to like and subscribe to the podcast wherever you listen, and leave a comment and review!
