Previewing Spring Football and the NFL Scouting Combine and Taking Stock of Ohio State Basketball

This is March, which means there’s plenty happening in the world of Ohio State sports.The Ohio State football team is expected to begin spring practices next week, so we start this week’s episode – after Griffin recounts his near-death experience during his trip to Champaign for last week’s basketball game at Illinois – by looking ahead to the start of spring ball and discussing who and what we’ll be most looking forward to watching and what questions most need to be answered once practices begin.After 21 minutes of discussion about the current Ohio State football team, we shift gears to be previewing this week’s NFL Scouting Combine, which Dan is in Indianapolis to cover as seven former Buckeyes – Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, Jeremy Ruckert, Nicholas Petit-Frere, Thayer Munford, Haskell Garrett and Tyreke Smith – look to impress scouts this week. Dan makes his picks for which Buckeyes will have the most impressive combine performances and who most needs to have good workouts to bolster their draft stocks.The Ohio State men’s basketball team sent us back to the cutting-room floor early Wednesday morning to re-record the second half of this week’s episode, as we had to talk about what happened on Tuesday night as the Buckeyes suffered a stunning loss to Nebraska, the last-place team in the Big Ten, at the Schottenstein Center. Beginning at the 31-minute mark, we talk about why the last two losses are more worthy of consternation than previous losses this season and discuss what will need to happen for the Buckeyes to turn things around for the rest of March.
