0:20
Speaker 1: today at Gratefulgriddle, oh dot com. I'm joined by Tony
0:24
Speaker 1: Gerdaman here on the indoor field at the What He
0:26
Speaker 1: Hates Athletic Center, and boyt, Tony, there is a ton
0:28
Speaker 1: to talk about here, and we didn't even get to
0:30
Speaker 1: watch practice, and there's a ton to talk about here.
0:33
Speaker 1: I guess let's let's just do this sequential.
0:35
Speaker 2: Okay, that's easier.
0:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there is a whole bunch of new stuff
0:40
Speaker 1: that's going to be happening at Ohio Stadium when the
0:42
Speaker 1: Buckeyes and Texas kickoff in twenty four days. The number
0:45
Speaker 1: one versus Number two, last game day for League Corso
0:49
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. But the game day
0:52
Speaker 1: and the whole thing at Ohio State on game day
0:56
Speaker 1: is going to look very, very different. Got a chance
0:58
Speaker 1: to talk to Ross by York as they rolled out
1:01
Speaker 1: their Tradition Evolved program. I don't know if you can
1:04
Speaker 1: see the video board behind me, but it is. They
1:05
Speaker 1: have a whole logo for it and everything. Let's start, Tony,
1:10
Speaker 1: this is you know, this is This is not like
1:13
Speaker 1: reinventing the wheel or anything like this.
1:15
Speaker 2: This is the wheel.
1:16
Speaker 1: This is yeah, this is going. Hey, those people have
1:18
Speaker 1: a wheel, and that looks pretty cool. Why don't we
1:20
Speaker 1: use a wheel? Game Day at Ohio State has been
1:24
Speaker 1: a little sponsor heavy over the last few years. They are,
1:28
Speaker 1: to their credit, really sort of picking up on stuff
1:31
Speaker 1: that they've seen other places or that maybe they've just
1:33
Speaker 1: sort of thought, hey, this would work well at Ohio State.
1:36
Speaker 1: And they're also taking some existing stuff and repurposing it.
1:40
Speaker 1: One of the things is the victory bell, which normally
1:42
Speaker 1: you hear after the game if things have gone the
1:45
Speaker 1: way that you know, the folks in Ohio with stadium hope,
1:48
Speaker 1: but the victory bell, you know, Ross Bjorke said, you know, oh,
1:51
Speaker 1: you know, it's his tradition. It's been there forever long
1:53
Speaker 1: one hundred years, you use it maybe seven times a year. Well,
1:57
Speaker 1: now they're going to be using it a lot more
1:58
Speaker 1: often than that.
2:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be use it before the game,
2:02
Speaker 2: like before kickoff and each game. Each time it's going
2:06
Speaker 2: to be somebody special, a dignitary, somebody in Ohio state famous,
2:10
Speaker 2: alam or perhaps a celebrity bringing the bell to energize people.
2:15
Speaker 2: First game for Texas will be Archie Griffin, and then
2:18
Speaker 2: Griffin and the Archie and the the the organization that
2:22
Speaker 2: works that that handles that will then go on and
2:26
Speaker 2: help decide who does it the week following and week following.
2:29
Speaker 2: So it's just m it's going to be part of
2:33
Speaker 2: I say, the kickoff, but yes, like the literal kickoff
2:36
Speaker 2: is getting people ramped up and really just one more
2:39
Speaker 2: area and we'll get to a bunch of others where
2:41
Speaker 2: they're just trying to engage the fans so they're not
2:43
Speaker 2: just sitting there waiting for something. They can actually take
2:47
Speaker 2: part in something.
2:48
Speaker 1: And something else that fans can do is if you
2:51
Speaker 1: go to the Texas game, congratulations, you are going to
2:53
Speaker 1: be the proud owner of a free towel. It is
2:55
Speaker 1: going to say the on it very cleverly branded the towel.
3:00
Speaker 1: It's something you have probably seen that he's got a
3:03
Speaker 1: question about, Like, so people in Pittsburgh use these, and
3:06
Speaker 1: not everyone here likes people in Pittsburgh. But this is
3:10
Speaker 1: just you know, you look at the games in the
3:12
Speaker 1: South and they'll have pom poms and Men's State has
3:14
Speaker 1: kind of taken that and just like visually, it just
3:17
Speaker 1: gives people something to do. It makes it visually more interesting.
3:21
Speaker 1: And so everyone at the first games get one, but
3:23
Speaker 1: then they're going to be selling them as well, so
3:25
Speaker 1: that you know, this is kind of a little bit different.
3:27
Speaker 1: And you know, again this is this is not something
3:29
Speaker 1: they're inventing. We've also seen this way back in the
3:31
Speaker 1: eighties before. I don't think it we'll have big bear
3:33
Speaker 1: branding this time, but it will be a you know, something,
3:37
Speaker 1: something new and different.
3:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Ross said through this and Caleb Clark, who
3:42
Speaker 2: is basically behind a lot of this, one of the
3:45
Speaker 2: other ads at Ohio State Ada of marketing Game Day experience.
3:49
Speaker 2: There's a lot of titles. I'm not going to get
3:50
Speaker 2: them exactly right. Yeah, but one of the one of
3:54
Speaker 2: the big feedback areas they got was fans just want
3:57
Speaker 2: to have something that they can be engaged with. And
3:59
Speaker 2: so that's how kept coming back as I guess a
4:01
Speaker 2: popular answer. And yes, it's been done at Ohio State,
4:06
Speaker 2: it's done plenty of places. I think it's better than keys.
4:09
Speaker 2: I'm going to say that. I did ask Caleb like,
4:12
Speaker 2: do you have a price point on it? And he
4:13
Speaker 2: said not yet. They're going to make it accessible and
4:15
Speaker 2: they want to make it affordable obviously. But then also
4:19
Speaker 2: there will be different kinds of towels depending on the opponent,
4:22
Speaker 2: depending on the theme. When it's military appreciation, he said,
4:24
Speaker 2: you know, they'll throw out a they'll bring out a
4:26
Speaker 2: camouflage towel, the blackout for Penn State expected black towel
4:30
Speaker 2: for that. Uh So there'll be some themes that will
4:33
Speaker 2: go along with us as well, because again this is
4:36
Speaker 2: also another Yes, it's fun for the fans, but it's
4:39
Speaker 2: also a marketing opportunity and something that the Ohio State
4:41
Speaker 2: can sell. But I don't think you know, they're not
4:44
Speaker 2: going into this thinking what can we sell? Right, It's
4:47
Speaker 2: going into this what do the fans want? And then
4:50
Speaker 2: let's how can we get it to them? And what
4:52
Speaker 2: else can we do along those lines? Because even with
4:54
Speaker 2: the terrible towel. There are different versions of it. There
4:56
Speaker 2: are especially ones that are commemorative. They're like and they'll
4:59
Speaker 2: do the same thing here with that.
5:01
Speaker 1: You mentioned the blackout for Penn State. There are a
5:03
Speaker 1: couple of games like that this year, starting with the
5:05
Speaker 1: first one against Texas. There was this picture of Rothbyork
5:08
Speaker 1: with the towel. It was a red towel, which makes
5:10
Speaker 1: sense because that seems like that's gonna be the theme
5:12
Speaker 1: for game one against Texas.
5:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, Scarlett out for Texas and everybody's encouraged to wear scarlet,
5:19
Speaker 2: and then there will be a stripe out game. Which
5:22
Speaker 2: which game is that? At the universe Yeah, yeah, Ohio
5:25
Speaker 2: at the Nuts the night kickoff where I don't know
5:28
Speaker 2: if we got the fall experience, the Fall explanation. I
5:30
Speaker 2: think he was talking about it later, like a helmet
5:32
Speaker 2: stripe and some variation some section of the stands. But
5:37
Speaker 2: the fans will be told like, hey, where this You're
5:40
Speaker 2: not gonna be giving a show. Just I'm sure you
5:42
Speaker 2: have colors. These are school colors. I'm sure you've got
5:45
Speaker 2: something of this sort. So coordinate effectively and it might
5:48
Speaker 2: look pretty cool.
5:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know again, this is not reinventing the wheel.
5:51
Speaker 1: You've seen Ohio State do the scarlet out before you've
5:53
Speaker 1: seen o High State do the blackout, before you've seen
5:55
Speaker 1: High State do the gray out before we've seen the
5:58
Speaker 1: helmet stripe out or that that's Penn State does that.
6:02
Speaker 1: Penn State did that for the Ohio State game last year.
6:04
Speaker 1: And you know at Penn State it's just it's a
6:06
Speaker 1: white out with one section blue in the middle. So
6:08
Speaker 1: Ohio State, you know, if they do the true helmet
6:10
Speaker 1: stripe will be you know, gray and then black, white, red, white,
6:16
Speaker 1: black and then more gray. So yeah, we'll see how
6:19
Speaker 1: they convoluted they want to make.
6:20
Speaker 2: Ye, No, it could look very nice. Why not like
6:23
Speaker 2: the the old the gray striped shoulder stripes, Like I'm
6:27
Speaker 2: just I know people like that one.
6:29
Speaker 1: The eternal question, why not the gray stripe shoulder stripes thing?
6:34
Speaker 1: Other other things that are going to be potentially changing.
6:38
Speaker 1: Some music stuff Hang on Sloopy may have a new home.
6:41
Speaker 1: And there is a new song from a band named
6:44
Speaker 1: Camp Band Camp but the band is Camp anyway. Two
6:48
Speaker 1: a's in Camp. I don't know why, but the second
6:51
Speaker 1: A is for Ua, which is where they're apparently from.
6:54
Speaker 1: But some some new musical stuff as well.
6:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, Camp and Tom I know you're not into new
6:59
Speaker 2: muse in today's music in the radio and the rock
7:01
Speaker 2: and roll, but they have a song.
7:03
Speaker 1: Called Williams Junior. No thank you sir.
7:05
Speaker 2: So I'm looking it up because I'm reading the release
7:08
Speaker 2: when we got it like early this morning, before we
7:10
Speaker 2: could release it. So I'm yes. The band Camp has
7:13
Speaker 2: a song called Ohio. So I like, search Camp Ohio
7:16
Speaker 2: on Spotify and then oh, right there, Camp Ohio. And
7:19
Speaker 2: then the next song with Tho that is also from
7:21
Speaker 2: Camp called Ohio is ugly.
7:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw that one too, and I'm like, I
7:24
Speaker 1: bet that's not the one that.
7:25
Speaker 2: That's not gonna be the one they're going to talk about.
7:27
Speaker 2: But they get this idea, I think mainly from the
7:30
Speaker 2: trip to Oregon last year, because that was probably an experience.
7:33
Speaker 2: There's a before the game is like the third quarter
7:37
Speaker 2: maybe no, that's that was.
7:38
Speaker 1: A show, but they have it. There's a song called
7:41
Speaker 1: Eugene Organ.
7:42
Speaker 2: It's coming home births Oregon.
7:45
Speaker 1: But there's there's also a song called Eugene Organ. I
7:48
Speaker 1: know because our postgame, our post game video got a
7:51
Speaker 1: copyright ding for a song called Eugene Organ. I was like,
7:53
Speaker 1: what's a song called? Where is this?
7:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's you know, some some guitar playing rock
7:59
Speaker 2: and roller and they sing along to it. They've got
8:02
Speaker 2: this video montage, so High State's going to do a
8:04
Speaker 2: video montage celebrating the state of Ohio. It's only like
8:08
Speaker 2: two minutes and twelve seconds, and so.
8:10
Speaker 1: That sounds perfect for a commercial break at.
8:13
Speaker 2: That So that's why they did it, and so you know,
8:15
Speaker 2: hopefully you can get some sing alongs going with that
8:18
Speaker 2: as people get to know the song. I would say,
8:20
Speaker 2: study up on the song before the game. That way
8:22
Speaker 2: you're not surprised by it. But I think the more
8:25
Speaker 2: encouraging thing is there's going to be more for the
8:29
Speaker 2: best DA band in the land to do and more
8:32
Speaker 2: freedom for them to do those things. And you mentioned
8:35
Speaker 2: hanging on sloopy, which I don't know if it's going
8:38
Speaker 2: completely away from the third quarter or the end of
8:40
Speaker 2: the third quarter, but they can play it basically whatever
8:43
Speaker 2: they feel like they need to. They will play it
8:45
Speaker 2: a big moments or whatever, and you don't necessarily have
8:47
Speaker 2: to wait for the break between the third and fourth quarter. Also,
8:50
Speaker 2: the band is going all the way to you know
8:52
Speaker 2: the north north end zone, which is really we're back
8:54
Speaker 2: when I was there, back in the day. I don't
8:57
Speaker 2: know if they were amplified back then they will be now,
9:00
Speaker 2: which is interesting.
9:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a lot of this is just trying
9:04
Speaker 1: to make it a I think a little bit more
9:05
Speaker 1: of an engaging, interactive kind of experience. So you never
9:10
Speaker 1: really have trouble hearing the band. If you have trouble
9:13
Speaker 1: hearing the band in the stadium, it's usually because something
9:15
Speaker 1: good has happened and the crowd is very loud, which
9:17
Speaker 1: is not a problem that would they would view as
9:20
Speaker 1: a problem. But yeah, the band is going to the
9:22
Speaker 1: north end. All of Blocoh is going to the south end,
9:25
Speaker 1: which will be different, and you know that that's the
9:29
Speaker 1: north end of the stadium is generally the louder end
9:31
Speaker 1: because it's closed and you've got you've got more stuff
9:34
Speaker 1: for to sort of hold the noise in. If you've
9:36
Speaker 1: got all the students in the south end, you know
9:39
Speaker 1: that that potentially makes that a little bit louder down there.
9:42
Speaker 2: So any well, the interesting thing is the entire south
9:47
Speaker 2: stands could be the student section.
9:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's that twenty four or twenty six thousand I.
9:51
Speaker 2: Think twenty six thousand season tickets have been sold, which
9:53
Speaker 2: is basically the only way that a normal civilian might
9:58
Speaker 2: might be able to sit in the South stands if
10:00
Speaker 2: there weren't tickets sold for that game. But it sounds
10:03
Speaker 2: like it's pretty much going to be the entire student
10:05
Speaker 2: section in the South stands, which I think is interesting
10:08
Speaker 2: because you always have the students who complain about people
10:11
Speaker 2: like getting yelled at about standing in certain certain sections,
10:14
Speaker 2: but now they will be all together rather than I
10:16
Speaker 2: never liked splitting up the two block hosh because when
10:19
Speaker 2: I back my day, it was in the North End, YEP,
10:22
Speaker 2: and we were all together and it was fantastic. I
10:24
Speaker 2: don't know why you would split that up other than
10:25
Speaker 2: there are some renovations and premium seats and things like
10:29
Speaker 2: that where it's like we could get more for these
10:31
Speaker 2: than the students are playing. But now put all of
10:34
Speaker 2: those dirty, krusty students into the South stands where they
10:38
Speaker 2: can just be dirty by themselves and just be loud
10:42
Speaker 2: at impact the game. And hey, impacting the game is
10:46
Speaker 2: also something new.
10:47
Speaker 1: Yes, that would be I mean there are times when
10:49
Speaker 1: that would be a new thing. At Ohio Statedium. Youve
10:51
Speaker 1: seen it once in a while. But now if the
10:56
Speaker 1: fans do have an impact on it, they'll get a little.
10:59
Speaker 2: Tree they'll get they'll get a buck eye leaf. There
11:02
Speaker 2: will be something on the video board, some display of
11:05
Speaker 2: the stadium getting a buck eye leaf. And then there
11:07
Speaker 2: will be an actual board by block Oh with their
11:11
Speaker 2: buck eye leaves on them, which I think is a
11:12
Speaker 2: cool idea. I don't know if that's done elsewhere. We've
11:15
Speaker 2: seen the upside down k's and the stret and the
11:18
Speaker 2: k accounts and.
11:18
Speaker 1: Things like that.
11:20
Speaker 2: Well, I've seen it for all my life. At you
11:24
Speaker 2: can tell me Doc goodin.
11:25
Speaker 1: I will tell you Doc Good because that is actually correct.
11:27
Speaker 2: Yes, and then and then Boston still it with Roger Clemens,
11:30
Speaker 2: as we know. But there will be that thing that
11:34
Speaker 2: keeps track of, like getting forcing a time out for
11:37
Speaker 2: the opposing offense, forcing the fall start things like that
11:40
Speaker 2: where I toime, I still remember nineteen ninety four my
11:44
Speaker 2: freshman year, block Oh, you had the like the fumbled
11:48
Speaker 2: snap and safety Like block O got credit for that,
11:51
Speaker 2: and so like this is an opportunity for a collective
11:55
Speaker 2: block Oh to start getting credit for some stuff, and
11:58
Speaker 2: not just block O, but the entire Ohio State fan
12:00
Speaker 2: base in the stadium, So I think that's interesting as well.
12:03
Speaker 1: Was that in the Michigan game, Yep, Todd Collins got
12:05
Speaker 1: his footsteps on. So once again Tony trying to claim
12:08
Speaker 1: credit for something he didn't actually do. Perhaps anyway, so
12:15
Speaker 1: Todd Ord Collins, Why'sted Athletic director Todd Collins? No, not quite,
12:20
Speaker 1: oh Highsted Athletic director Ross York also talked about some
12:22
Speaker 1: of the stuff that's coming in future years. Obviously the
12:26
Speaker 1: new fancy club seats in the South end, that's part
12:28
Speaker 1: of the impetus behind moving the band to the North end.
12:31
Speaker 1: But they're also going to have updated ribbon boards, updated
12:35
Speaker 1: sound system. And then it sounded like the you know
12:37
Speaker 1: the flashing lights for the stadium lights, you know how
12:40
Speaker 1: it like they score touchdown at Alabama and the stadium
12:42
Speaker 1: lights flash on and off. They can't do those at
12:44
Speaker 1: Ohio Statum. Yet they're working on that. Some of that
12:47
Speaker 1: may be done for twenty twenty six. It will all
12:49
Speaker 1: be done for twenty twenty seven. Was there anything else
12:52
Speaker 1: in terms of the game day atmosphere that oh Brutus's entrances.
12:55
Speaker 2: I mean again, I think you take this from not
12:57
Speaker 2: just Oregon, but zeeing the organ away the duck cam
13:00
Speaker 2: came in. Brutus will enter the game differently each time,
13:03
Speaker 2: each each each game. I don't know how many different
13:06
Speaker 2: entrances you can come up with over the span of say,
13:09
Speaker 2: like three years. Eventually you'll have to parachute in just
13:13
Speaker 2: to be different. South Stands knocker ball like, or you
13:18
Speaker 2: can just have him passed down by the student. I
13:22
Speaker 2: you know Sean Michaels the way he used to enter
13:24
Speaker 2: the ring, you know, via like the zip line. I'm
13:26
Speaker 2: sure there's gonna be a zip line.
13:27
Speaker 1: Doesn't the Jaguars mascot Jackson Deville doesn't. Doesn't he like
13:31
Speaker 1: zipline down from the lights or something.
13:33
Speaker 2: Like there's all there's gonna be some I don't know
13:36
Speaker 2: what would be the most appropriate vehicle Oregon. The duck
13:40
Speaker 2: has the motorcycle potmobile. Is that an Ohio based thing?
13:44
Speaker 1: Well, you do it for the Illinois game, and you're
13:46
Speaker 1: really kind of Notre Dame or Illinois either one.
13:50
Speaker 2: There you go, that's a good Ford pootmobile shoving their
13:53
Speaker 2: faces in Chicago.
13:55
Speaker 1: Take that. Our pizza is better.
13:58
Speaker 2: People say it.
13:59
Speaker 1: People, people are saying, you're hearing it more and more.
14:02
Speaker 2: Better than both Chicago pizza and New York pizza.
14:04
Speaker 1: No, that's half true anyway, So best.
14:06
Speaker 2: Pizza that time. As we know what alt Jenna style pizza.
14:10
Speaker 2: There you go.
14:11
Speaker 1: You heard it from Kevin Newton. There you go. All right,
14:13
Speaker 1: So that covers some of the game day stuff. So
14:15
Speaker 1: that'll all be new and different this year. It's going
14:18
Speaker 1: to be quite a quite a rollout for that. Ros
14:20
Speaker 1: Geork did say, you know, there's there's certain stuff that
14:22
Speaker 1: we can only do at night games, broon shows and
14:25
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. I think they looked at how
14:27
Speaker 1: the crowd was for the Tennessee game and the night
14:31
Speaker 1: atmosphere and all kind of stuff, and thought, what if
14:32
Speaker 1: we had this more often? And you can well you
14:37
Speaker 1: can only control that so much, but you can control
14:39
Speaker 1: some of the other elements of that. So ok, so
14:41
Speaker 1: we have a super chat champler.
14:43
Speaker 2: There's not a Brutish knacker ball entrance, right if if
14:47
Speaker 2: there's not a new Brutish knock ball entrance, we riot
14:51
Speaker 2: I think at some point, well, for one, is that
14:54
Speaker 2: too big to get in there?
14:56
Speaker 1: I think you could put it.
14:58
Speaker 2: You have to build the docker ball around.
15:00
Speaker 1: Hey you put well, you maybe do it at the
15:02
Speaker 1: top roll. Yeah, I don't know that's going to be
15:06
Speaker 1: You certainly can't do it with the old school brutus
15:08
Speaker 1: head that they which was just which is basically a
15:10
Speaker 1: docker ball in and of itself.
15:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, there you go. There's your answer. They just
15:13
Speaker 2: make the knocker ball of brutus.
15:14
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I do think the Brutus crowd surfering down
15:17
Speaker 1: the student section would be very cool. You want to
15:19
Speaker 1: make sure you go feet first though, because you head first,
15:21
Speaker 1: you might pass out from blood flow to your head. Also,
15:25
Speaker 1: gravity will help keep the head on if you're going
15:26
Speaker 1: to treat first. So that's my tip from my tip
15:30
Speaker 1: to anyone in that Brutus class.
15:31
Speaker 2: I just don't know how many different ways you can
15:33
Speaker 2: enter it. I know at some point by twenty twenty seven,
15:37
Speaker 2: do you give me shot out of a cannon. There'll
15:38
Speaker 2: be like a net place at the fifty over the
15:41
Speaker 2: stadium into the stadium. Because this, again, this is an
15:44
Speaker 2: entrance evil canieval style, so you've got to come from
15:46
Speaker 2: outside the stadium. I you know, I'm exc I think
15:53
Speaker 2: that's going to be well, if you operated incorrectly, it
15:55
Speaker 2: could be very exciting.
15:57
Speaker 1: So there you go. So so there are some of
15:58
Speaker 1: the changes to watch for in that first game against
16:01
Speaker 1: Texas and beyond, now onto the more on field stuff
16:05
Speaker 1: for what that Texas game might look like. I had
16:07
Speaker 1: a chance to talk to Ryan day after practice. I
16:10
Speaker 1: guess let's start with before we're gonna talk about the quarterbacks.
16:14
Speaker 1: Don't worry, but there was one of the big stories
16:17
Speaker 1: last week was Edward Houston, and it sounds like Ohio
16:20
Speaker 1: State has officially dodged a bullet here.
16:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's doing well. They expect him to be back
16:26
Speaker 2: and fall eleven on eleven team competition in the next
16:29
Speaker 2: forty eight hours, if not tomorrow, he said, So doing well,
16:33
Speaker 2: And again we saw him like trying to sneak into
16:35
Speaker 2: some some drills this weekend. So he was moving around
16:39
Speaker 2: pretty well and doing well. And so now it looks
16:41
Speaker 2: like he's gonna be all set in time for whatever
16:43
Speaker 2: they do on Saturday in terms of a scrimmage.
16:45
Speaker 1: Yeah. So that that is some very very good news
16:48
Speaker 1: in terms of, you know, news because it's new information,
16:52
Speaker 1: but it's not actually new information. Tony. What's going on
16:54
Speaker 1: with the quarterbacks?
16:55
Speaker 2: Well, thanks you for asking John. What is going on
16:57
Speaker 2: with quarterbacks? They are still practicing back to you. Now,
17:02
Speaker 2: basically they're still a neck and neck, as Ryan would say,
17:05
Speaker 2: and everybody's just trying to time. They're taking it day
17:09
Speaker 2: by day.
17:09
Speaker 1: I don't know if I heard that for more than
17:11
Speaker 1: one person.
17:12
Speaker 2: Yes, just an hour by hour sometimes drill by drill,
17:15
Speaker 2: just trying to get better, helping each other get better,
17:18
Speaker 2: competing and like it's every quarterback thing we've ever said
17:23
Speaker 2: about a quarterback competition in terms of the day to
17:26
Speaker 2: day aspect. Like, yes, just go back to that, Tom,
17:30
Speaker 2: just cut that in right now. Yeah, we'll just splice
17:32
Speaker 2: that in live post production.
17:34
Speaker 1: Absolutely, So I don't think you can do that on
17:36
Speaker 1: a live show, Kevin, is that true? Not paying attention
17:41
Speaker 1: anyway so that it might drop in Monty? So, well,
17:44
Speaker 1: we've got we've got the quarterbacks. The one thing, you know,
17:47
Speaker 1: Ryan Day did say there's been improvement. They're still not
17:51
Speaker 1: where they need to be, but you know, he's been
17:54
Speaker 1: he's been pretty honest about that in the past where
17:56
Speaker 1: he's not he's not happy with where they are and
17:59
Speaker 1: they're you're not hearing that. This year, this feels much
18:02
Speaker 1: more like they'll be there, they'll be okay. Kind of thing.
18:08
Speaker 1: He knows, he is well aware that the Texas game
18:10
Speaker 1: is less than four weeks away, and he's not acting
18:13
Speaker 1: or talking like he's deeply, deeply concerned about where they
18:16
Speaker 1: are right now.
18:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, he certainly seems like he's doing okay. The question
18:21
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask was, again, relative to what has
18:25
Speaker 2: been would have been very good quarterback rooms, is this
18:30
Speaker 2: the most concerned you've ever been at this point in
18:34
Speaker 2: time at our state, Because again the answer might be yes,
18:39
Speaker 2: but it also it's relative to everything else. Person, I
18:42
Speaker 2: wasn't hold on, but what would his answer be there?
18:48
Speaker 1: I think my sense is that you look at twenty
18:51
Speaker 1: twenty three and that was a year where you listen
18:55
Speaker 1: to him talk and it was kind of like.
18:59
Speaker 2: I would agree, well.
19:00
Speaker 1: Where we are with everything right now, you're not getting it.
19:03
Speaker 1: Just it's a little bit different. And this is one
19:05
Speaker 1: of these things for just year over year, there's just
19:07
Speaker 1: little changes in inflection, and you know, and that was
19:11
Speaker 1: a year where game one was on the road against
19:15
Speaker 1: a future college football playoff participant in Indiana, which was
19:19
Speaker 1: very much not a college football plaoff participant in that year,
19:21
Speaker 1: but it was a you know, it's on the road
19:24
Speaker 1: in a Big ten game. This is not game one
19:26
Speaker 1: against Akron or something like that, and that was a
19:30
Speaker 1: year he was concerned. This year with Texas coming in here,
19:35
Speaker 1: it just it just is not quite that same vibe,
19:38
Speaker 1: which to me, if you're just trying to read the
19:40
Speaker 1: tea leaves here, I think you know, we've seen some
19:42
Speaker 1: encouraging things when we were in practice, just the way
19:45
Speaker 1: you sort of hear him talking about it here, Billy
19:48
Speaker 1: Fesser talking about it. I don't get the sense that
19:50
Speaker 1: there's worry there right now.
19:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would. I would agree with that. And we've
19:55
Speaker 2: talked over the years where we have ocurred and seen
19:58
Speaker 2: the worry from day and we have talked about that worry.
20:01
Speaker 2: I don't see that right now. Yes, No quarterback at
20:04
Speaker 2: this point says we're where we need to be at quarterback.
20:06
Speaker 2: So that is nothing new, and that is that's the
20:09
Speaker 2: same every year. But you certainly don't get this like
20:12
Speaker 2: oh man, like when we walk out of here after
20:14
Speaker 2: an interview, you're like, ooh, yeah, there's none of that
20:17
Speaker 2: with the quarterback situation right now. No.
20:19
Speaker 1: And one place that we have heard that in the
20:21
Speaker 1: past is at the offensive line position. What was it
20:24
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three or twenty.
20:26
Speaker 2: Twenty spring of twenty twenty four, bring it twenty No.
20:29
Speaker 1: Three three spot.
20:30
Speaker 2: Josh Simmons came in.
20:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, spring of twenty twenty three, we walked out of
20:34
Speaker 1: spring ball with Ryan Day talking about just like, yeah,
20:37
Speaker 1: it's not it ain't right, ain't this ain't good And
20:43
Speaker 1: this year you haven't heard that at all. This year
20:46
Speaker 1: there's still shuffling guys around a little bit. And that
20:48
Speaker 1: was kind of an interesting thing. It was Brian Day's
20:50
Speaker 1: in the middle of a sound bite and our buddy
20:52
Speaker 1: Patrick Murphy asked him to clarify, like, you just said, Josh,
20:55
Speaker 1: Austin syrriball that left tackle. Did you mean to say
20:57
Speaker 1: right tackle?
20:58
Speaker 2: No? No, no, yeah, no left tackle working at left tackle.
21:02
Speaker 2: And this is something we saw. It was mentioned on
21:05
Speaker 2: our message board before camp that we might see and
21:09
Speaker 2: then when we didn't see it initially, it's like, well,
21:11
Speaker 2: but as we know, we've seen, we've seen these guys
21:13
Speaker 2: move around back in the spring as well. But Austin
21:16
Speaker 2: Seerveld working at left tackle right now. And again, I
21:19
Speaker 2: don't know that any of this is I don't know
21:21
Speaker 2: how much is definite in any of this, because he said,
21:23
Speaker 2: you did say Ethan Onion was at working at right tackle,
21:25
Speaker 2: but also some guard maybe like eighty twenty tackle the guard.
21:29
Speaker 2: And again they want everybody to have a secondary position.
21:31
Speaker 2: When you're a fifth year senior, you could probably have
21:33
Speaker 2: a tertiary position as well, like Ethan Onion. Well, so,
21:37
Speaker 2: especially being a guy that can get into rice, you
21:39
Speaker 2: can probably handle the mental aspect of these things. Speaking
21:42
Speaker 2: of someoney who said no to rice.
21:46
Speaker 1: Watching your cars.
21:47
Speaker 2: So I will be interested to see how is this
21:52
Speaker 2: is this sports going to be or was is this
21:55
Speaker 2: just Austin Seerveld finding a third position that sort of thing,
21:59
Speaker 2: seeing who could play right, who can play left, and
22:02
Speaker 2: just gaining information before it's time to really the last
22:05
Speaker 2: two weeks get down to figuring stuff out right.
22:08
Speaker 1: I think, let's get through the second the second scrimmage
22:15
Speaker 1: this week, and you get one which is on the
22:16
Speaker 1: what eleventh, no, ninth something ninth, So you get the ninth.
22:22
Speaker 1: I can't get the sixth. D I know, well, and
22:25
Speaker 1: it's it's Tuesday to Saturday, but really it's Wednesday because
22:27
Speaker 1: it's the morning show, so it's we're really we're doing
22:30
Speaker 1: some math real quickly. Tony already used up olds brain
22:33
Speaker 1: power pronouncing tertiary correctly and using it correctly. So twice,
22:36
Speaker 1: well twice, very impressive. So you know, you get the ninth,
22:41
Speaker 1: you get the sixteenth, and at that point, okay, are
22:44
Speaker 1: you still screwing around with guys in different spots on
22:46
Speaker 1: the offensive line? At that point, I'm willing to kind
22:49
Speaker 1: of think about this as this is something they're very
22:52
Speaker 1: seriously considering that they may have. You know, he may
22:54
Speaker 1: be the better option on left and on the right.
22:56
Speaker 1: Right now, this feels a lot like, yeah, you're kind
22:58
Speaker 1: of moving guys around, You're giving some reps in a
23:00
Speaker 1: couple of different spots because you saw last year. Hey,
23:03
Speaker 1: you may need to shuffle guys around a little bit.
23:05
Speaker 1: And we talk all the time they're looking for their
23:07
Speaker 1: best five and if you know who your best five
23:11
Speaker 1: is going into the season, but depending on who goes
23:14
Speaker 1: down with an injury, your best five maybe a different
23:16
Speaker 1: combination of guys.
23:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. And he even said like they're still
23:21
Speaker 2: solidifying who their starters are, even though like we pretty
23:24
Speaker 2: much be able to guess with a high degree of
23:27
Speaker 2: certainty who those are, but they might be switching positions.
23:30
Speaker 2: But also you want to know who are the guys
23:33
Speaker 2: behind them, And as you said, the last year was
23:37
Speaker 2: a huge sweeping, you know, evidence that you need to
23:42
Speaker 2: be prepared for whatever. And now this is they can't
23:45
Speaker 2: get their kids sick like last year, so it's like, well,
23:48
Speaker 2: let's just let's do this without getting everybody sick. Yeah,
23:50
Speaker 2: let's see how it goes. And then Ryan Dale also said,
23:53
Speaker 2: I feel like eighth, ninth, tenth guys could play this year,
23:57
Speaker 2: and not just because of disaster, but like not that
24:01
Speaker 2: they would rotate guys in, but I think they certainly
24:05
Speaker 2: feel as good as they have about their first ten.
24:09
Speaker 2: And I think part of that is we kind of
24:14
Speaker 2: know who those ten are already and came in kind
24:17
Speaker 2: of knowing who they were, which is not generally the case.
24:21
Speaker 1: No, And I think you only lost because you had
24:24
Speaker 1: those injuries last year. You only really lost off of
24:28
Speaker 1: the playoff team two starters. You lost three because one
24:32
Speaker 1: of them won the Remington Award, but you had already
24:34
Speaker 1: replaced him that was already baked in. So you lost
24:36
Speaker 1: your left tackle, you lost your right tackle, but you
24:39
Speaker 1: had your returning center. You had three starting guards returning
24:43
Speaker 1: for two starting guard positions, which is, you know, an
24:46
Speaker 1: unusual luxury, and you had had the Big Transfer Portal
24:50
Speaker 1: edition and Ethan oneon was so you can look and
24:53
Speaker 1: kind of go, I bet I know who their best
24:55
Speaker 1: five are and they you know last year Ian Moore
24:58
Speaker 1: was coming on really strong at the end of the
24:59
Speaker 1: year in terms of a tackle, and Josh Padio is
25:01
Speaker 1: coming on real strong in terms of in terms of
25:04
Speaker 1: the center, and you know where they added Philip Daniels
25:07
Speaker 1: in terms of another tackle. And I think the guard
25:10
Speaker 1: spots are with the twos is where I've been. Maybe
25:12
Speaker 1: if I was going to be surprised by anything, it
25:14
Speaker 1: would be Jay Cook and Gave Van Sickle. But those
25:16
Speaker 1: guys are people who were coming on in the springing
25:19
Speaker 1: to a certain degree. So, yeah, this is as good
25:22
Speaker 1: a shape as the offensive line has been in in
25:25
Speaker 1: it feels like years for Ohio State.
25:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree with that. And I think that's
25:31
Speaker 2: also some of the level of the lack of concern
25:35
Speaker 2: for day is in terms of quarterback because feel pretty
25:38
Speaker 2: good about the offensive line, So they're gonna be more protected,
25:41
Speaker 2: They're gonna be able to be able to process and
25:44
Speaker 2: get the ball out rather than like I'm worried about
25:47
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks because I'm worried about their surviving because of
25:50
Speaker 2: the offensive line. I know they're not gonna have time
25:51
Speaker 2: to get through their reads. I know they're gonna be
25:53
Speaker 2: going through stuff quickly. But with an offensive line that
25:56
Speaker 2: you feel good about, it's easier to feel good about
25:58
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks, and also with the guy they're throwing too,
26:01
Speaker 2: easier to feel good about the quarterbacks. But overall, you've
26:04
Speaker 2: got a Again, I don't recall a time where it
26:07
Speaker 2: is you kind of leave spring because I'm pretty sure
26:10
Speaker 2: Jake Cook was the number two left guard by the
26:12
Speaker 2: end of spring. Yeah, last year, like or this spring.
26:15
Speaker 2: This spring where you feel like you know who the
26:17
Speaker 2: top ten are and now you'll see can anybody push
26:20
Speaker 2: their way into that top ten? And we'll see there's
26:23
Speaker 2: some opportunities. But yeah, this is a pretty deep group.
26:27
Speaker 1: So we need to talk a little bit about the
26:29
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in terms of what we actually heard from the quarterbacks,
26:32
Speaker 1: because this is our one and only chance to talk
26:34
Speaker 1: to the starting quarterbacks. You know, whoever that may be.
26:38
Speaker 1: Talk to Julian Saying, talk to Lincoln Keenhols, talk to
26:41
Speaker 1: Tavia and Saint Clair no elibrach Antler. But we had
26:44
Speaker 1: the two guys who were really sort of in the
26:46
Speaker 1: you know, in the fight for the starting position and
26:48
Speaker 1: in Tavian Saint Claire are sort of indowledge like, yeah,
26:50
Speaker 1: I'm a freshman. It's fine. You can you know, you
26:52
Speaker 1: can talk about the other two guys as the ones
26:54
Speaker 1: who are competing for the job. Just fine. So what
26:57
Speaker 1: were your big takeaways talking to those guys just in
27:00
Speaker 1: terms of maybe how they've changed since the spring, where
27:03
Speaker 1: they've seen progress since the spring. Whatever.
27:06
Speaker 2: Well, quickly on Taving and Saint Claire, he's like, I'm
27:09
Speaker 2: competing against myself. Yeah, that's so he believes nobody's better
27:13
Speaker 2: than him. Now he's just like I I exactly, I
27:16
Speaker 2: I understand where I am, who I am, and I'm
27:19
Speaker 2: just trying to get better. And then the other two
27:21
Speaker 2: guys they're competing against themselves. But again they're against each other.
27:25
Speaker 2: But you're doing that by making sure that you're doing
27:28
Speaker 2: everything right, you're taking every rep seriously, and then that's
27:32
Speaker 2: how you'll get better and you know, the whole iron
27:34
Speaker 2: sharpening iron thing. But they're just pushing each other because again,
27:38
Speaker 2: in this thing, things are close enough that if you
27:41
Speaker 2: decide to take a day off, you're going to fall behind.
27:46
Speaker 2: And the only way you're going to catch up is
27:47
Speaker 2: if maybe somebody else takes a day off, and if
27:49
Speaker 2: that person doesn't take a day off, it may have
27:51
Speaker 2: just been that one day that costs you. And so
27:53
Speaker 2: like there's there's that level of uncomfortability that that goes
27:58
Speaker 2: in there. Ryan Day was asked what was it like
28:00
Speaker 2: for you back back in your day and what would
28:03
Speaker 2: you tell yourself now? And basically it's like, it's an
28:07
Speaker 2: uncomfortable time, but you do these guys become your best
28:12
Speaker 2: friends that you're competing against because you spend so much
28:14
Speaker 2: time together. But he did say I would tell myself
28:17
Speaker 2: just focus on what you can control, like being a
28:20
Speaker 2: good leader, being a good teammate, don't worry he's like that,
28:23
Speaker 2: all of that, All of that and just working as
28:25
Speaker 2: hard as can All that is more important than being
28:27
Speaker 2: twelve to fifteen in practice, and so that those are
28:30
Speaker 2: the things that you can control. Don't worry about what
28:32
Speaker 2: somebody else is doing. We've talked to past about the
28:34
Speaker 2: quarterback battle on in twenty fifteen where j T. Barrett
28:36
Speaker 2: was trying to be Cardale Jones and Cardale Jones was
28:38
Speaker 2: looking over his shoulder at j T. Barrett. They can't
28:41
Speaker 2: worry about like Julian can't worry about the things that
28:44
Speaker 2: Lincoln Kenels can do in terms of his ability to run,
28:47
Speaker 2: and Lincoln asked to be careful not to be like, well,
28:50
Speaker 2: everybody talks about Julian's release, I need to get get
28:52
Speaker 2: my release quicker, quicker quicker. He needs to make sure
28:55
Speaker 2: he's accurate and going through his impressions and just doing
28:57
Speaker 2: the job correctly, doing the routine things U tinely. And
29:01
Speaker 2: so it's interesting to watch where you've got two guys
29:04
Speaker 2: who are young, they have their different skill sets, but
29:07
Speaker 2: also like they have to do what they do best.
29:10
Speaker 2: That's how they're going to win the job and how
29:12
Speaker 2: they can be a leader rather than I know, coach Day,
29:17
Speaker 2: Coach Fester like it when Lincoln does this. So Julian's like,
29:21
Speaker 2: I will also add that to my game, and that
29:23
Speaker 2: may not be his.
29:23
Speaker 1: Game, right, Yeah, you got to you gotta do what
29:25
Speaker 1: you can do and not try and get outside of that.
29:27
Speaker 1: Because one of the things that tav and Saint Clair
29:29
Speaker 1: said that I think apply to these other guys is,
29:32
Speaker 1: you know, in high school, he felt like he had
29:34
Speaker 1: to he had to make a play, like he had
29:36
Speaker 1: to you know, and he's not like running down his teammates,
29:38
Speaker 1: but he said, you know, the guys around me are
29:42
Speaker 1: better here than in high school, which you no kidding,
29:45
Speaker 1: so but he he said, that's been in a little
29:48
Speaker 1: bit of an adjustment for him. You don't have to
29:50
Speaker 1: be the one who runs the you know, Jeremiah Smith
29:54
Speaker 1: do something cool, play, but you have to sub your
29:56
Speaker 1: name in there. It is it is just the You've
29:58
Speaker 1: got Jeremiah Smith, get the ball out to Jeremiah Smith
30:01
Speaker 1: and let jeremih Smith do something cool. You've got James People's,
30:04
Speaker 1: You've got Brandon Innis, you've got Max Clayer, you got
30:06
Speaker 1: all these guys around you. Get the ball out to
30:09
Speaker 1: those guys. One thing that Billy Fesler talked about, but
30:12
Speaker 1: I think a couple of the other the quarterbacks also
30:14
Speaker 1: talked about, was you know when they talk about getting
30:18
Speaker 1: the ball out, that's yeah, it's the release, but it's
30:22
Speaker 1: also just the processing. It's recognizing what's going on, it's
30:25
Speaker 1: figuring it out quickly, identifying where it needs to go,
30:27
Speaker 1: and getting it out. It's not just yeah, if you
30:30
Speaker 1: get a quick release, that's great, but you've got to
30:32
Speaker 1: do all the processing. Identify, make your reads. That's like
30:36
Speaker 1: sounds like it's eighty percent of it. And then you
30:39
Speaker 1: know the quick release is great, but it's all the
30:41
Speaker 1: stuff before the release that actually really matters.
30:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, and even before the snap, pre snap reads, all
30:45
Speaker 2: of that, just processing where this ball needs to go
30:48
Speaker 2: and then getting it there, and you know they're all
30:49
Speaker 2: working on that. That's always been Julian's strengths. And again,
30:54
Speaker 2: Lincoln just has to be careful not to try to
30:57
Speaker 2: be something he's not. Not that it's like that's that's
31:01
Speaker 2: not what it is. But just don't don't try to
31:03
Speaker 2: be somebody you're not when Lincoln is something different than
31:07
Speaker 2: Julian after a snap as well.
31:10
Speaker 1: One other thing that Julian San got asked about was
31:12
Speaker 1: his height, which you can read the height on the
31:15
Speaker 1: roster and it's like, yeah, okay, because people have looked
31:18
Speaker 1: at him and thought, boy, he's small, boy, he's short.
31:21
Speaker 1: You know, you can be listed as six foot or
31:23
Speaker 1: six wand but it's you know, six wawn. And he
31:30
Speaker 1: was asked, okay, so how tall are you really? And
31:32
Speaker 1: he said six to one and I went up, I
31:35
Speaker 1: walked around, I'm like, all right. When he walks away,
31:37
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look because I'm six two, I can look, ok,
31:39
Speaker 1: and he's he's a legitimate six foot one and so yes,
31:41
Speaker 1: he is not sixthpawn in the same way that Tate
31:44
Speaker 1: Martel was five. You have you have seen the heights
31:48
Speaker 1: sort of exaggerated and it's like, wow, all these guys
31:50
Speaker 1: shrink two inches when they get to the NFL combine.
31:53
Speaker 1: He is a legitimate six one, which is that's plenty
31:55
Speaker 1: tall to play quarterback in the Big ten.
31:58
Speaker 2: Assuming time that you are a legitimate six.
32:00
Speaker 1: To well, that's a click anyway.
32:02
Speaker 2: That's let's say, no, you're.
32:03
Speaker 1: Five eight, right, that's right. So anything anything else from
32:07
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks that we need to get.
32:08
Speaker 2: Up and Julian did say he's up to two ten now,
32:10
Speaker 2: Lincoln said he's six three two fifteen. They do. They
32:14
Speaker 2: have done some stuff together in terms of like hobbies
32:16
Speaker 2: and things like that. Uh, but as Lincoln said, he's like,
32:19
Speaker 2: but again, like I'm a South Dakota kid, he's a
32:22
Speaker 2: Cali kid. So it's like never the two shall shall'll mix.
32:26
Speaker 2: But Lincoln's like Lincoln was asked if he hunts, He's like, yeah,
32:29
Speaker 2: I finded and uh. Then he was asked you think,
32:31
Speaker 2: Julian hunts, and he's like, it's like, I don't think so,
32:34
Speaker 2: I don't think.
32:35
Speaker 1: That's probably no. All right, do we have any questions
32:39
Speaker 1: that we need to get to from the audience?
32:45
Speaker 2: Bucks and brew? How does the OSU beat earn a
32:47
Speaker 2: buck eye leave?
32:48
Speaker 1: Okay, how does the o su beat or an a
32:51
Speaker 1: buck eye leave?
32:55
Speaker 2: It's not really need a thing that we need to
32:58
Speaker 2: do we The more important thing is during super chats.
33:03
Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, that's sure. Yeah, what would what
33:05
Speaker 1: would the to beat leaf sticker look like? Feels like
33:09
Speaker 1: it should be a typewriter in a non tradition, Yeah,
33:13
Speaker 1: dash thirty dash on the.
33:15
Speaker 2: Well, maybe typewriter's very old. I don't know when was
33:19
Speaker 2: the last time there was a typewriter in the actual
33:21
Speaker 2: Ohio State press box the nineties.
33:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was trying to just trying to think. I
33:27
Speaker 1: might have been up there once before they did the
33:30
Speaker 1: renovation in two thousands, so maybe.
33:34
Speaker 2: I mcflurry, but you used to also be up in
33:36
Speaker 2: the press box mcflurry machine, which they removed for I
33:40
Speaker 2: don't know why. Punishment of the media. Jovian.
33:44
Speaker 1: You know what you did Tom with the Whaler's cat,
33:48
Speaker 1: fine of the football, the Whaler's hat. Yes, I I
33:52
Speaker 1: end up trying to wear stuff that's not active teams,
33:55
Speaker 1: if you think the Blue Jackets, or stuff that's not
33:57
Speaker 1: active teams, because otherwise the other wis weld get derailed
33:59
Speaker 1: and it's like a lot of Mets talk or whatever.
34:01
Speaker 1: So it's usually a mix of Houston Oilers and Hartford
34:05
Speaker 1: Whalers and Brooklyn Dodgers other than the Blue Jackets.
34:08
Speaker 2: I can't tell you how many Montreal expos caps that
34:11
Speaker 2: I have in like various cards that I just can't
34:13
Speaker 2: puil the trigger on. Like, you know, what happened to
34:19
Speaker 2: the banners that used to before they changed them out?
34:22
Speaker 1: So that's a good question from Lisa Siems. What happened
34:24
Speaker 1: to the banners that were up there before they changed
34:26
Speaker 1: them out. My guess, and this is just a guess
34:28
Speaker 1: because I did not ask about this, but my guess
34:30
Speaker 1: would be that those will be auctioned off at some point,
34:36
Speaker 1: like they have memorabilia sale kind of things they do
34:38
Speaker 1: that at the the spring you know, the country themed
34:44
Speaker 1: rodeo thing that they do, Yes, the country themed rodeo
34:48
Speaker 1: thing that they do after the spring game. Yes, But
34:51
Speaker 1: in twenty sixth edition, my guess will be you'll be
34:54
Speaker 1: able to buy those at auction at like that. I mean,
34:58
Speaker 1: this is you know, this is what it is. You
35:00
Speaker 1: can't tear down a stadium without selling the seats selling that.
35:03
Speaker 1: I have a LOWE section sign from Shay Stadium in
35:07
Speaker 1: my basement because I also am a SAP who will
35:10
Speaker 1: buy stuff like that. But they sold. You could buy
35:14
Speaker 1: rows of seats and stuff, so I would guess that
35:17
Speaker 1: you're you know, as you're pulling stuff out of a
35:19
Speaker 1: place like this, you're not just throwing it in a dumpster.
35:22
Speaker 1: It's probably being sold somewhere.
35:24
Speaker 2: YEP. I have far else who's abo there are a
35:29
Speaker 2: processor better than c J.
35:31
Speaker 1: Stroud. I don't think that was there a processor better
35:34
Speaker 1: than c J. Stroud.
35:36
Speaker 2: Well. Ryan Day did also give a shout out to
35:39
Speaker 2: Dwayne Haskins in terms of the quickness with which he
35:41
Speaker 2: got the ball out. So I think those are the
35:43
Speaker 2: two that the two best we've seen at Ohio State.
35:46
Speaker 2: That said, the complete package of there are the two
35:50
Speaker 2: best throwers that we've seen at Ohio State.
35:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't think of anyone else. I mean, Justin
35:56
Speaker 1: Fields was great at this is just Justin Fields would
36:01
Speaker 1: be in this conversation for like the history of Ohio
36:04
Speaker 1: State football on the whole. But he just in proximity,
36:07
Speaker 1: he was between those two guys, and so therefore he's
36:10
Speaker 1: probably third place between those guys, but is probably pretty
36:13
Speaker 1: high in Ohio state history. I'm interested to see what
36:18
Speaker 1: Julian saying looks like this fall, because you've heard enough
36:22
Speaker 1: about that from him that you get the sense you're
36:25
Speaker 1: probably going to see it and recognize it this fall.
36:28
Speaker 1: Is he CJ. Stroud level boy? If he c J.
36:30
Speaker 1: Stroud level boy, that changes the Sea League on this
36:32
Speaker 1: year's season, we'll see, We'll see where he is and
36:35
Speaker 1: we'll see where this quarterback battle ends up. But we'll
36:38
Speaker 1: be talking about all of that this month long, all
