more -
Episode 043: College Football Week 8 Preview and the Buckeyes heads to The Beave at night

Michigan embarrassed Rutgers to the tune of 78-0. It's a score you rarely seen in college football and even more scarce between conference opponents. Jim Harbaugh is trying to send a message to the rest of the college football world. Maybe it's that his Wolverines are good or maybe it's that is…

-
Episode 039: OSU v OU Recap, College Football Week 4 Preview & A new AP Top 10

-

more -
Episode 037: CFB Week 2 Preview, OSU v. Tulsa & Remembering 9/11
Week one of CFB lived up to its billing. Rarely when something is called "the best ever" does it meet expectations. Week 1 did, but Week 2 will disappoint.

-
Episode 033: Can theCavs win Game Six? OJ: Made in America, & GOT Episode 8
All hope seamed lost. The Cavs fell apart late in Game 4 and blew seemingly any chance of a NBA. However, an improbable win in Game 5 changed the paradigm. Although the "Nutcracker" Green didn't play, the Cavs have a home game to force a seventh and decisive game. It's not how many planned it…
more -
Episode 032: Cavs crack the win column, Beer in the Shoe for ALL & GOT Wrap up
The term "must win" in sports is used almost to the point of nausea. However, if the Cavs were going to have any hope of winning a NBA Title Game 3 was a "must win." There was no way to expect Cleveland to reel of 4 straight against the best regular season team in NBA history. They turned in a...

more -
Episode 026: Michael Thomas tells his story from Cali to Fork Union to OSU and ultimately the NFL
I am always curious how a kid from southern California, with no Ohio ties, ends up at OSU. Michael Thomas had every reason to stay on the west coast. He is the nephew of NFL legend and former USC Trojan Keshawn Johnson, but some how ended up in the Buckeye state. Maybe it was his one year stint…

Pro Day is always an eventful experience and it is especially true this year at OSU. With the 2016 OSU draft class poised to potentially break the 1st Rounders and the total players drafted records, it is a safe assumption to say the Woody Hayes will be packed with scouts. More than just scouts,...
-

Recruiting can be a tough business and Jake Ballard knows it the story all to well. It would be easy to assume a successful player like Jake had an early offer from OSU.

-
Episode 021: James Laurinaitis tells his story from a no name from Minnesota to an OSU Legend

-
Episode 020: Beau Bishop's back to breakdown the Super Bowl and What's next for Peyton Manning
The Denver Broncos pulled the only of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history. A 6 point underdog found a way to win by double digits. It was a sloppy game, filled with penalties, turnovers, and offensive miscues. The seemingly unflappable Cam Newton wasn’t able to carry the offense to victory...
-
