• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Welcome to a very special live episode about Guys Tomorrow
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Morning for Thursday, August twenty ninth.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: I'm your host Tom Moore. The Akron game in just.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Two days, the game againts Michigan in ninety three days.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Joined by Tony Gardman the Buckyhaddle dot Com. Tony would
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: just finished up our last interview session of the week.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Heading into the first game of the season.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: It feels like about it'll feel like about two and
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: a half weeks and we'll be talking about the fact
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: that boy, it's cold in here instead of being nine
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: percent humidity. But start of the season just two days away. Now,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: get a chance to talk to Ryan Day. Any big takeaways? He,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: you know, is never gonna everyone always wants to know
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: about injuries. Yeah, he never wants to talk about injuries.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: What was your biggest takeaway I guess from talking to
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Ryan Day, Well, I.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Guess we could start with the injuries and that they're
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: no long term things. But he did hint towards there
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: are some things that we're gonna have to figure out
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: this towards the end of the week about some game
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: day calls. But you know, it's I'm looking forward to
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Jeremiah Smith finally playing and then Ryan Day can maybe
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: talk about him some more. But then also he's still
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: gonna be like, well, look, I know he had thirteen
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: catches for two undred and forty yards, but I don't
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: want to go overboard, and I don't want to build
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: up the hype for something, you know, it wouldn't be
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: fair to him. But you can tell he's just looking
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: forward to seeing. As he said, you know, we've got
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: a lot of guys that came back, and I'm looking
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: forward to seeing them, but we also got some new
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: guys and meaning Will Howard, Caleb Downs, quinch On Judkins.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: But he's also looking forward to seeing because you know,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: he gets to seem in practice kind of you kind
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: of want to show him off to all of your
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: friends though as well in the Ohio Stadium.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Well, it feels like we've been talking about these guys
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: and seeing these guys and talking to these guys for
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: ever at this point. I mean we talked started talking
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to some of these guys back in what January February
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: on National Signing Day, and we've seen him go all
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the way all the way through spring practice, all the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: way through fall camp.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: It's hard to believe.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: But the last time this team stepped on the field
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: for a game that actually meant anything, we were down
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: in Arlington, Texas.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: It did not go particularly well.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Boy, how do you have a lot of things changed
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: around the Ohio State football program since then? This is
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I know, there's always sort of well, it's just Achron,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: who really cares. Ryan Day talked about the fact, you know,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and this is something that I think Jack. Ryan Day
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: talked about the fact only get twelve regular season games.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Jack Sawyer talked about fact only get eight more home
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: games in Ohio Stadium. So this is one that Yeah,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: it's easy for our one to kind of handwave and whatever,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: it's just achron. You they have to say it. It's
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the right thing to say. But also you sort of
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: get the sense that they really do mean that. You
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: really they have to. They know they've got to finish
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the drill twelve times this right.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, season leave no doubt, as Ryan Day says, but
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: he's also talking about how they have to.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: They're focused on themselves.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: And if you're truly focused on yourselves, you are trying
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: to you're working to maintain a standard, and it doesn't
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: matter who you're playing. Again, They want everybody to grade
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: out as many people as possible, to grade out his
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: champions over eighty percent grades. And that is regardless of
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: who you're playing. So the fact that Akron is coming
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: to town, they're fifty point underdog, it shouldn't impact how
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: hard somebody plays, how effective they.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Are, or the the idea that well.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: You know, I'll wait until Michigan State or I'll wait
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: until Iowa when the season really starts.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Like that's these guys have been Newon's approach.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: That's not like keV. I mean, it says this side
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: toward enemy. I just tell you.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: But like as you said, there are only so many
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: of these. But also this is the last time they're
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: doing it. They there are many reasons to want to
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: be out there and be as effective as possible, not
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: even including the draft stuff, you know, like the NFL stuff.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: But they did not things did not go as well
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: as they wanted last year, and so like to ever
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: let your foot off the gas this year, I think
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: it's mistake.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're going to give the folks watching right now
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: live and then watching right now not live, and give
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: you a little bit of homework right now. Not homework,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: just a little two things. Number one, if that thumbs
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: up button, that will be a helpful thing. Number two,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Tony gave me a great trivia question while we were
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: sitting waiting for interviews. I want you to try and
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: put your answers in the chat on this one. Tony
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: were what was the question? And then we'll give people
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the answer and maybe fu.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: So the question is a name the last two Ohio
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: State true freshman wide receivers to catch a touchdown in
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: the season opener, and do we need to give them
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: a year range.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Or go ahead and give them the year range that
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: you went back to.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: Since well, I went on the way back to two
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: thousand and nine.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: But that's enough.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: That's enough infrasation. Since two thousand and nine, two true freshmen,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: two wide receivers, true freshman wide receivers, not Trevy and Henderson,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: two true freshman wide receivers have caught touchdown passes in
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: their first game of their career as true freshman wide
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: receivers for Ohio State. Named them in the chat. I
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: thought this was a great question. I guessed wrong several times.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Eventually did get.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: It right process of elimination.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Eventually, eventually I ran out of Ohio state wide receivers.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Tippy Die. No, he was a quarterback and he also
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: played nin one hundred years ago.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that wasn't him, So okay, there's a Jeremiah
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Smith adjacent to trivia. I got a chance to talk
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to Cody Simon for quite a while and this was
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I turned this interview right around through it on our
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: YouTube channel, put it right up on our board at
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Bucket Huddle because it was really interesting because I think
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: there's of the one hundred thousand different things that are
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: different about college football this year, the helmet communications is
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: one of them. It's not necessarily the single biggest one,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: but it's going to be something that really impacts the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: game quite a bit. And we got a chance to
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: talk to him for I think about the third time
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: in two weeks, so that meant there weren't a lot
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: of other questions we could really kind of dive deep
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: on the helmet communication piece of things. I asked him,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: you know, we've heard about the helmet communication cutting off
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: at fifteen seconds. We know that when did it start?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: And like, what what does that process like? What what
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: is that span of time like? And he said, really
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: as soon as the previous play is over. It basically
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: comes back on yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah, you got your
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: ears on break or breaker? What would what would his
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you think about what his CB handle would be as
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: number zero?
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Simon says, not bad.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I don't hate it.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: And we have another thing we've got to talk about
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: later where we came up with I don't know, nicknames
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: or something I don't remember. Was Nick McLarty with your own, Yeah,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: your own Nick McClarty, nicknames. Tony and I both have
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: our own. We'll come up with those, the Australian punter
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: with the big leg, so we'll we'll maybe talk about
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: those in the chat little letter on as well.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: But Simon said that see, I just did it.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Simon said that it comes on basically right at the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: end of the previous play, and you're gonna get your
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: play called relatively quickly because you kind of know down
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: in distance, you know where, you know where the ball is,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: you know where it is, I'm a field, all that
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff. So you're gonna get your play call
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: relative quicker. Then you gotta be able to sort of
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: explain that, get that out to everyone else, and then
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: it's gonna cut off again at fifteen seconds. You know,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I was trying to figure out is it you get
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the play call and then they shut up for ten seconds,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: so you can you know, communicate that out and then
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: they're gonna say, hey, watch guy.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: It doesn't sound like that's necessarily the case. On every play.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: You may get a little bit of something. But he's
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: the other thing that was really interesting.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Was he said with the crowd noise, that might mess
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: with things a little bit. Normally you have the defense
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: trying to get the crowd loud when the other team's
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: on offense. Now maybe that's not so great for the defense,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and they've got to kind of see. They worked with
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: crowd noise in practice, but you never know until it's
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: really on the field.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: And really, I'm sure people will be very excited for
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: the Ohos Date actoring game.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: The crowd noise in side Ohouse Daium is not going
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: to be with the crowd noise in side Ohio Stadium
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: on the Saturday after Thanksgiving as well, So and that's
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: not gonna be what the crowd noise in Eugene Oregan
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: is like when they're on the road. So that's something
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: they're going to kind of continue to work through but
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: it's you know, they've they've spent a lot of time
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: talking about it, they've spent a lot of time working
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: with it. He seems reasonably comfortable around it. But I
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: think there's a certain amount of Yeah. I mean, you
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: think you think you know, but then you'll go out
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: on the field and then you'll find out. And he said,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: one thing that really does mess with is and sometimes
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: it goes out like it doesn't. It's not one hundred
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: percent reliable.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: All the time.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's one of the reasons Jim Knowles talked
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: about you you teach all of these players for when
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: things go poorly, like you prepare them for these situations
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: because they you can only give them so many answers
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: and they have to have the rest when things break down.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Same with the quarterback. You've got to get me into
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: that you've got to make this a good play. You've
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: got to get me out of this bad play.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: With the communication, I'm sure there are times where they're
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: not going to hear anything, but it's good to have
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: a fifth year senior middle linebacker who knows the defense,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: is trusted by everybody to be that extra coach. Essentially,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Like you can say signal it in, signal it in.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: But if things are going haywire, there's not as much
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: panic because he's I think it's good that they've also
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: experienced the communications going out. And I wouldn't be shocked
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: if some of that is done on purpose in terms
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: of I just cut it off and let's see what happens.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: So I think you need to prepare for those sorts
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: of things.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: It's like playing with the dunk dunking the football in
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: the bucket of water. When you were getting ready for
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: some rain, which you might this weekend.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: You might.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I looked at the hour by hour and it didn't
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: look particularly daunting, and it doesn't seem to rain in
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Ohio anymore, so we'll see, uh boy, eighty degrees and rain.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: I would probably take that at this point.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: You know, you're talking about cutting the radios off unintentionally.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: It kind of reminds me, you know, when guys are
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: pop when people are learning to fly a plane, like
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the instructors will sometimes just say, okay, your engine just
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: old and shut off the engine out. Okay, now you
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: got to start, you know, you just got to kind
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: of with the adversity, deal with the oops. This isn't
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: working like it's supposed to. Surprise, Now, what do you do?
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it reminds me of Driver's ED when when our
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: driver's ED teacher, there's like four of us in the
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: car including not including it, so like four students and
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: one of the gall in the back seat fell asleep
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: and so he's in the pastors he's like, just hold on, guys,
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: and he slams on the brakes and he yells.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: And that's a lesson to not fall asleep in a car.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: You're fall asleep in the pack.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: No, No, that's not what Driver's ed. Defensive driving, defensive
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: sleeping like you cannot do it. You cannot fall sleep
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: in the backseat or else somebody slam on the brakes
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: and scream ruin.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: You man, you hate, you hate to have a good
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: nap ruined, especially in the car.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Get a chance to talk to you. Talked to a
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Mecca Buka correct, Yes, what was I was not over there.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: I was over talking to Cody Simon. What did a
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Meca booka well?
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: And he's another guy that we've talked to a bunch.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: So I was asking him about kick returning because Ryan
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Day did mention who the number one kick returner is
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: going to.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Be did he say, Jadan Allen?
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: He did, okay, So that's and then Colonel Tate will
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: be the second guy. And so I asked Mecha, you know,
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: do you miss being do you miss returning kicks? He's like, sometimes,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: but it seems like it can be scary back there
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: because that's the hardest he's ever been hit as a
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: kick returner. And it was a freshman season. So he
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: got hit with the crown of a helmet like on
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: his thigh, and he wasn't he wasn't walking right for
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: you know, the rest of the week. And I think
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: he said he missed the rest of that game. But
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: the key, I said, so, what's what's the key to
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: being effective? Because he was like.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: Twenty nine yards per kick return as a freshman.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: He said, just don't hesitate, just go straight and then
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: make your decisions after that, but get upfield immediately. And
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: then he was asked about being a punt return He's like,
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: you know, which is which is worse? You know which
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: is scarier? And he's like the punt return because it's
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: more difficult. You know, you you pretty much know where kickoff,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: the kick is going and on a kickoff. With the punt,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: the wind takes it. So there's just so many variables,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: and you've got guys, you know, kind of bearing down
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: on you that you have that with kickoff return, but
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: you also have a little bit more room to get
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: ready for that. But yeah, he was His advice was
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: get up field. And we have not really talked about
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Jade Ballad as a kickoff returner, but he's arguably the
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: fastest guy on a team.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: So I mean that's interesting to me, you know that
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: they want to go with that.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm not really surprised that you did not
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: have someone like a Mecca Booka or someone like Jeremiah
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Smith or Trevian Henderson or someone like that.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Smart.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's there's no reason you have other guys who
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: can do this. You're not relying on the kick return
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: to set you up with great field possession every time.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: That has always felt like the smart thing to do.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: And another thing is like this gives Jaden Ballard an
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: opportunity to do more things because when talking with the Mecca,
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: He's like, I knew I wasn't gonna play much as
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: a receiver as a freshman. I considered myself a kick
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: returner as a true freshman, and that's where he focused
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: his job. That's where he took ownership of that. I
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: think this is an opportunity for maybe Jayden Baller to
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: do the same. Like, yes, I'm receiver, I'm going to
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: play receiver, but I am also a the kick returner
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: and that is my job and I'm gonna take it seriously.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, Jack Sawyer was out there at the
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: end as probably not He has played quarterback in his
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: football career, not at Ohio State, but in Pickeraton as
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: a high school player. High school senior did play quarterback
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: because his team needed him to.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: He is. I think it was maybe getting a little
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: bit into a nostalgic mood a.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Little bit heading into his final season, said he went
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: back and watched some film from his freshman year with
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: him and Tyler Williams and jac Two Moloow And I'm
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: going to use a parenthetical here, but holy parentheses, smokes.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: We've come a long way.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: And I mean, yeah, it's been four years, and yeah
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: they've they've progressed quite a bit as a group. But
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: you look at just pictures of him as a freshman,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: and he looks like a little kid, and now he's
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: four years older, and he's obviously put on quite a
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: bit of quite a bit of bulk over.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Those four years.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: He is someone who I think could be one of
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the defining players of this year's Ohio State defense. Because
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: you could look at just about any level of the
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Ohio State defense. Go young man, Denzel Burke could be
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the guy, or Caleb Downs could be the guy, or
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Tyler Williams or Sunny Styles, you.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Could you could pick someone just about anywhere.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Jack Swayer feels like the way he ended last season
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: and the way it sounds, it sounds like and seems
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: like he's approaching this season. This could be a year
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: when I'm not expecting Chase Young numbers or anything Nick
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Joey Bosa numbers, anything like that, But he could put
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: up the kind of season that you haven't seen here
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: and in a few years.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think I always go back to, like,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: if just give us a Sam Hubbard, Taekwon Lewis all
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Big ten defensive end type of season, you know you
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: can't expect to Joey Bosa, Nick Bosa, Chase Young.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: I did.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: I did kind of chuckle when he was talking about reminiscing.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: He's like and then these the kids today. It's like
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: I was about to yell out, okay, Boomer, like you're
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: see he's like twenty one to twenty two, you know,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: but he looks like he's a grizzled veteran at this point.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: Been around, he's seen some things. Tom, he has seen
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: He's seen some things.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: But he's obviously very excited to get out there. And
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: as you said, eight games in Ohio Stadium. I remember
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: when Jim Tressel for his seniors would have them, like
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: gave all of the seniors.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Like twelve marbles, uh huh, yeah.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: And they would have to take a marble out every game.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: And then there was a blue one yep.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: And so it's like.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: You saw your season going away and the diminishing as
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: you removed each marble, and you just have that like that,
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: the blue one remaining. I thought that was a nice
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: touch back then. But you know, they're clearly they know
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: what the story is here.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's not much question. And all these guys came
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: back for the same thing that they have been talking
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: about all year, the three goals. The three goals they
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: talk about every year that they have not hit yet
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: in their careers, beating Michigan, winning the Big Ten, winning
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: the National Championship. They are over nine so far, looking
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: to go three for three this year. Another This is
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: a really little thing, and it might be me reading
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: too much into this, but we hear all the time
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: about how close this team is, and that's you hear that.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: All the time.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: But as I was, as we were waiting for interviews
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: and watching the guys walking in, and they were you know,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: there's an offensive lineman and he's walking and he's joking
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: with a linebacker, and there's a defensive back and he's
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: walking and joking with you know, it was a running
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: back or something like that.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: It just it's not just the guys in their rooms.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: It's it does feel like they're and they they have
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: always sort of made a point to do that, to
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: have guys room with a guy on offensive, room with
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: a guy on defense, on trips or on camp or
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: whatever it is. But just just it was just one
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: of those little things that I just kind of let know,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: just kind of an interesting thing that, you know, offensive
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: coaches joking with defensive players who were not you know,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: it's not like a star player. It's just a guy
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball, but someone they
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: wouldn't necessarily have to talk, but just choosing to.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: And like we've seen like Jelani Terminal sit in on
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: anybody's interview, kiro Canoe does the same thing where they're
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: just they're they're around.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: You got a super chat super chat Murphy Serafino sack
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: Leader predictions for the season.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: So super chat from Murphy Serafino sack Leader predictions for
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: the season with numbers, with numbers, Okay, that's my super chat.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Do you want to go? Do you want to go first?
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: I have I mean, I have a name. If you have.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Listened to the last three minutes of the show, you
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: can probably guess the name that I'm thinking.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: I'm going to go Jack Sawyer as well. And when
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: you were talking about him earlier, I'm thinking, what is
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: a good season? Nine and a half is the number
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: that if you hit that, then anything after that is
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: a bonus.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: I'm laughing because in my head I thought ten.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: No, that's what I was like, nine and a half
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: tends a lot. Nine and a half is enough.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Sometimes, Tony, I think that we've done this for too long.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Go mens, yep, Yes, we definitely have done it, done
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: this too long?
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Were you over for any of Trevan Henderson I was.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Not, just a little bit.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: I wanted to went over to ask him what it's
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: like to have to deal with Caleb Downs as an
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: offensive guy, and just he's a guy that makes plays
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: all over the field. I ask the same thing of
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: a Mecca Abuca and like, what does he How does
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: he impact the passing games? It's like he im packs
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: the entire offense. You have to know where he is
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: and he can be everywhere. And then I was like
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: does he impact you personally? Like do you need to
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: know where he is? It's like, yeah, you're aware, but
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: like you you also have your own guy that you're
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: dealing with. And so I just think and asked Cody Simon,
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: can can this defense be more aggressive because they have
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: him back there?
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: And he's like, well, it just depends on what Jim
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: Knowles wants to do.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: We know Jim Mowles wants to be more aggressive, and
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: he can be more aggressive because he has Caleb Downs
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: back there, but also Caleb Downs is going to be
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: some of that aggression at times as well.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: So I keep there's a monitor in front of me
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: and they keep looking at him, going, what is that on.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: The wall behind me?
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: The son son shining through the door at a weird angle.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: All right, so we gave you some homework a few
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: minutes ago. First of all, if you have not hit
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: the thumbs up button a ready, please do that. Second
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: of all, if you have not submitted your Nick mcclardy
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Australian punter nicknames, please do.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: That, Tony.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Let people know the last two true freshmen to score
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: a touchdown, last two true freshman wide receivers to score
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: a touchdown in their first game at Ohio State.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: The most recent was Jackson Smith and Jigben twenty twenty
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: against Nebraska. The one after that was Devin Smith in
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: twenty eleven against the Akron Zips. The Akron Zips and
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: as we know, every game that Devin Smith KARTI touchdown
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: pass in Ohio State one. So let that be a
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: tease an idea as to whether or not Ohio State
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: won that game against Dachron.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I think Joe Bowserman had six touchdown passes in that game,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Is that correct?
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: I feel like that might be right?
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: Six?
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: No?
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Was it?
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: Six? No?
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: No?
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Because Kenny Guiden set the record with six okay and
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: twenty thirteen O four.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: Maybe he had some.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Number of touchdown passes. So if Will Howard can at
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: least match that number, will know that Will Howard is
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: at least as good at quarterback as Joe Boserman.
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: We have a super chat, yes, El Suso.
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: My Nick McClarty name is quote unquote the Thunder from
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: down On.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, Sue with the fantastic name, the Thunder from down
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Under Outback Steakhouse themed, which bonus points. I think for
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: that it would be the chocolate Thunder from down Under, one.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Of the desserts at the out Steakhouse.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Yes, I I think that's a very very smooth transition
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: into the into mine, which is also Outdack Steakhouse themed.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Call the Boom and Onion.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: Kevin.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Kevin has booing at this computer right now, at the chat,
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: facing the chat and booing.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Tony had a very good one.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: But it's one of those where this is going to
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: be like a real nichee. It's a kind of niche joke,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: but it is, so it's a strong one.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: So mine is I don't even know how to it's
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: toe Milton, which we know it's a play on Joe Milton. Yeah,
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: I could throw the ball one hundred yards, but can't
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: necessarily do it fifteen yards accurately?
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Could He didn't necessarily know where it was.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Going right, And so that's that's kind of what we've
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: seen with Nick McClarty earlier in the month. You know
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: where you'd watch him and they would, you know, seventy
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: yards far and wide, but sometimes not. And so that's
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: why I went with Joe Milton. I like it, but again,
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: as I told you before, the explanation takes a little
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: bit out of it, Like you could say boom and
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: onion and people are like, oh, I get it. But
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: if I were to like come, maybe I need to
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: come up with a nickname based around like Applebee's or
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: something like I got nothing boneless, riblets good, they.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Mate eating good in the punting good in the neighborhood.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: I don't know why didn't you do any of this
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: in the Australian excent?
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Well? Too hot, definitely too hot, yet it gets in Australia.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Fun, I tell you you are too hot when you
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: do an Australian accent.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's definitely what I meant. Kevin, you didn't like ours?
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Do you either? Do you okay, Kevin Kevin.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: The haters, the haters, they just want to tell you
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: they know that's that's bad.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: That's bad. Do you have anything to add? No?
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: No, no, do the do the viewers at home have
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: suggestions on great Nick mcclordy.
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: Nicknames, Nick the.
• 22:33

• 22:37
  Speaker 6: the topic. I kind of got through a couple that
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: I started.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: In there about mad wax.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: What's the wax for?
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: Is whacking the ball every every.

• 22:49
  Speaker 7: Okay, so why not like a w a X Okay, m.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Toe Milton, probably still your best work.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I agree. But for the people who understand, yeah,

  Speaker 4: it's good.
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: Onion sadly growing.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Oh there we go, There we go, Kevin Kevin giving
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: his two thumbs up approval.

• 23:26
  Speaker 3: to do with Australia.

  Speaker 1: Do you remember when you did your Beanie Wells stiff
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: arm naming contests?

• 24:22
  Speaker 3: to admit that yours is so that one. I like
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: the crocodile punter. I'm going to use that. Go ahead
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: and shut this chat down to leave the records of that,
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: and I will coin that tomorrow on Twitter.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: That'll be great. Yeah, I do.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Before we move on from the beating, but because we
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: because we hit the Beanie Wells, I just want to
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: give you credit for maybe the single funniest thing you've
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: ever come up with.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, I assume you came up with it. If not,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: please just take.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: Credit for it.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: The Beatie well stiff arm nickname was Pushy Galore.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: That is I did not was that not you? That
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: was not me? That was submitted and yes, that that.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Was that was That was one of those things where
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: it's like, well there's a lot of good. Oh no,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: that's it. That's the winner right there.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: But the winner was the Varsity Club.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, it was not going to demand to recount.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Only person in America is going to do that this year, Kevin.
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: You know, over under pickles consumed by Kevin this season.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Over under a number of pickles consumed by Kevin the season. See,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: it feels like there's two different answers here. One is
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: zero point five and one is.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: Fifty. Here's the thing time. No, I had this question.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: A few weeks back when I submitted, I solicited for
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: some viewer questions.
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: I didn't get to this one, but I prepared for it.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Oh good.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: So I was like, okay, so we're talking about road trips.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: How many in a meal? Because it's just pickles. Whenever
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: it's not pickles in one city, it's like, well, you're
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: not gonna have a d impract lunch, possibly dinner. Almost certainly,
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: and and how many of those? And then also how
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: many in Ohio Stadium. We're probably gonna get hammburgers maybe twice,
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: and he might throw a pickle on there, or I'm saying.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: That's true. So I'm gonna bring my number down.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: But anyway, after all of the math, all of the
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: road trips, I came up with fifty point five for.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: Season under under under under you're talking three on a
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: burger on a burger we go somewhere.
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: Like the place in the place in Wisconsin that had
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: like all the great bar food and like four dollars
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: stakes or whatever.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: What if I get a Well, here's the thing. Also,
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be ordering pickles just so I can hit
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: that number.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well but it's just by him.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: You can get it for the table.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can get it for the table and the
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: trains out of there.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: So fifteen point five, that's what I came up with,
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: because we're talking again, sixteen games, and there's a lot
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: in the road trips.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: There's there's gonna be.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: We're only going but every road trip, every stop in
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: the drive through is at least three pickles.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: I think you're dramatically overestimating the number of road games
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: this year, and be the number of pickles that he
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: a burger consumes.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: You don't.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: We don't get that many burgers. I think I'm taking.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I'm taking. I'm taking the under here, Sonny. What's the
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: first line of the Burger king song, Hold the pickles?
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: It's the literally the first thing the pickles hold to
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: let us special orders. Don't upset us something something something something,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: have it your way.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: What does this have to do with the higher state football?
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Oh right, that's right, that's what we're here to talk about.
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: I forgot Sorry, it feels like a Friday.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: It does feel like a Friday already.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Do we have questions that we should Okay, I'm.
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: Going to this one while you guys are yucking it
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: up from Sage, Ohio.
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: What is the Prediction Show?
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: When is the prediction should bold Prediction Show? That is
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: going to be on Thursday? Are we doing that recorded
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: or why?
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: Uh? Well, I mean that's up to you.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: We're gonna do it on Thursday. We'll see, We'll see

  Speaker 4: If we do it live, well, I'll let you know.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, fly A, this is a good This is a
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: good time to remind you that you need to be
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: subscribed to our YouTube channel, and also to hit the
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: bell so you get notified when we do these live shows,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: because and if you have not hit the bell recently,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: you might want to like click it once and if
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: it turns off, then click it again to turn it
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: back on, just to make sure YouTube knows that you
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: really do mean it.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: I'm already angry about tomorrow's bold predictions because I could
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: just I can.
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: I'm already getting annoyed by it.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: The annoying thing is going to be there is basically
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: nothing we can say about Jeremiah Smith that the weather
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: role will allow. We almost have to just sort of
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: like outlaw the Jeremia Smith or we just have a
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: separate Jeremiah Smith one that we have to give each
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: other as Let's see, Okay.
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: Dearyck Taylor, let's hope the helmet audio radio is encrypted.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: So the helmet audio radio is encrypted. I'm going to
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: guess that it is.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's I mean, for it's one channel
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: and you're not allowed on this channel, you can't access that. Yeah,
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, this has been going on in the NFL
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: for forever, so I don't think it's going to be
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: concerned or else they wouldn't be doing it.
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: The next one here, Ohio State type videos is styles
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: or Hicks starting or both?
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: So is our Sunny Styles or CJ Hicks starting or both?
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: And I guess so, if you're assuming that Cody Simon
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: is out there, then the answer is Sunny Styles because
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: they're not going to probably.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Be in three linebackers.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: If there are three linebackers and the answers both assuming
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Cody Simon is out there, then it's Sunny Styles. If
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: if Cody Simon is not out there for some reason,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: then it would be probably both. It would be Sunny
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Styles at the mic and c J.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Hick at the will.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: I agree, good answer, Tom, But did it.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Make our survey?
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: Murphy Serafino, It better not storm Saturday.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: It better not storm Saturday. Well, Tony, let me check
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: the weather app. I will tell you as a professional
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: youth sportsperson him come to us to learn that the
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: ACU weather forecast of rain, the ACI Weather app is
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: generally the most accurate internal precipitation ACU.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Well, i'm i in particularly to do.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: With the with the the weather with the precipitation. Yeah,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: fifty five percent chance of rain a morning thunderstorm in
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: parts of the area, otherwise mostly cloudy and not not
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: as hot but humid. So eighty eighty two degrees fifty
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: five percent precipitation the real field tony eighty eight degrees.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: That's I'm not I'm not thrilled about. I'm not thrilled
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: about the real field being eighty eight degrees down on
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: the down on the field because the field turf is
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: generally gonna the general the field turf is going to
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: generally add about ten degrees to that.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: Curtains don't breathe, dude, they.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Do not breathe.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: No, So, yes, well, we have had we have had
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: many different season opener weathers.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: This is going to be seemingly one of the hotter varieties.
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: But not.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like it's going to be an all
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: day rain or any that kind of thing.
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: George Kapler, so, I made a bold prediction that Ohio
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: state have three shutouts this year. I can see Akron
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: being one of those if it comes true. I promise
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: to donate five hundred of Tom's dollars to.
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: Tony's Ketchup Fun.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: All I heard was Jordan Kapler predicted three shutouts and
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Akron potentially gonna be one of them.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's a.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: This is one where if you're going to get to three,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: you really wanted This is one of the ones.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: That you, you know, if you.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: Don't want to go chasing three shot out if.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: You do this in terms of wind, you know, like
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: win probability where you're you add up with wind probably
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: abilities that kind of gets you to your ten point
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: six wins or whatever it is. Your shutout probability to
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: get to three, this is probably.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: About a point five or a point six.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: You really want to get this one to be ahead,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: because otherwise you really chasing the right.
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: This is the one.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: This is the most likely shutout of the year for
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: a number of reasons. So yeah, if you missed this one,
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: good luck.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you'll still take that.
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: Five hundred tomes bucks.
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: Right next one here, Andrew Steeles, is there a loss
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: on the schedule this year for US?
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: Where do you see that being most likely?
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, so is there a loss on the schedule for
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Ohio State?
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: I will give you my standard boring answer, which is
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: you never pick a team to go undefeated because the
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: odds are as you're going to learn even even a
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: team that is favored by a touchdown or more in
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: every game is on average going to just have one
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: of those days and lose one. Just you don't go
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: undefeated during the regular season all that often, so I'm
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: going to say they do lose one on most likely,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: I guess is probably at Oregon. That's essentially a coin flip.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: I think the point spread's a point or point and
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: a half one direction or another. After that, Penn State,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: probably at Penn State, and then Michigan third, maybe, but
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: it feels like Oregans get fifty, Penn State's twenty five
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: or thirty, Michigans maybe fifteen or twenty, and then everything
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: else is less than that.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the real question is Penn State or
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Michigan for number two, and usually you choose the road
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: YEP team.
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: Yep el susabo.
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: Are there any cornfields around the stadium where Tom has
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: to worry about corn sweat?
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: So?
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Are there any cornfields around the stadium where Tom has
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: to worry about corn sweat?
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: If you did not see, there.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Is a meteorologist from I think Baton Rouge who put
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: up a humidity map across the United States, and it's
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: humid in Florida, and it's humid in the Pacific Northwest,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: and then.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: It is there's a big blob of green over Iowa.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: And he said, if you're wondering what that is, it's
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: the water evaporating from corn known as corn sweat, which
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: is tony. I have lived in the Midwest for pushing
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: thirty years now, and I had never heard that phrase.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: And I've got to tell you it's not It's not
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: one of my favorites.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: Have you ever run through and run around like a
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: legit cornfield? Not even this corn maze stuff, But have
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: you ever spent time in a cornfield?
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: I have been, I have not. I have not like
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: run through a cornfield.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: There has was for a number of years right down
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: the hill from my house a big cornfield. And there
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: are cornfields just west of campus in Upper Arlington. I
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: think it might be the Ohio State Agricultural little plot
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: out there over on Kenny Road. So there are cornfields,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: but not I don't think. I don't think large enough
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: to create a meteorological phenomenon of corn sweat.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: So you never got to hang out in a cornfield
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: on the other side of a ditch at night and
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: throw ears of corn at passing cars.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: I did not.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping that City Boy, I'm hoping that the statute
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: of limitations has run out on that for you, and
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: that is not something that you did last weekend.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: But next question, next question.
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: This question I'm going to pose to Tony from Jordan Kapler.
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: Would you rather watch a cooking show with Kevin and
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: Lincoln Riley or show about the benefits of hunting inside
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: the forty with Tom and Kirk Ferris?
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: Would I rather watch a cooking show with Lincoln Riley
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: and Kevin Noon or a show about the benefits of
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: putting inside the forty with Tom or and Kirk Faarirs.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: I am taking the punting show one thousand times. I
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: am sorry, Kevin, this is about torturing Tom because this
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: show then would have to exist your show.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, this is I'm doing you a solid.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: Because you don't want to hang out with Lincoln Riley
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: for how long does it take to to bake a brisket?
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: A couple hours?
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: So like, but you got to get it just the
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: right shade and gride.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: You and you and Kirk talking about punting and why
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: it's it is a good idea and just seeing the anger,
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: and like a vein start popping up, and then yeah,
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: this would be quality television. This would be a reason
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: to bring back the DVR for me, I got rid.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Of mine, me me just yelling at him about punting
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: and finally just getting so fed up and being like, well,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: my son is good stuff.
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: And your son is unemployed.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: He actually that is factually incorrect. Do you know where
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Brian Ferns is right now?
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: Culvers arguably the world's largest truck stop on I eighty
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: and IOWA.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Very close, wrong direction, the University of Maryland staff.
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: I don't think it's ye.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Make him an offensive line coach, whatever, Just keep him
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: away for play calling.
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: Play calling. I mean, it's easy, last one I.
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: Have for now, until we get any more super chats
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: or such. Andrew Steele's which buck eye do you think
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: has the best shot at?
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Which buck eye do we think has the best shot
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: at a Heisman? Now we're talking about the Heisman Trophy?
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's interesting. No no parameters of which year?
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, if we're saying no parameters of which, no
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: parameters in terms of which year, the answer is Jeremiah Smith.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Next question. It feels like it's a much more interesting
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: question to say this year. Do you disagree with that?
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: By the way, Well, I.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: Would say it's it's either Julian Saying or Jeremiah Smith
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: or hey, don't sleep on James Peeple's but it's going
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: to be a quarterback or somebody with more hype than
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: anybody that they've had, you know, come through here, and
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: that's everybody's going to know Jeremiah Smith this year, and
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: then next year when it really matters.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: Everyone is going to know Jeremiah Smith. Everyone already kind
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: of knows, like exactly. I was listening to some Nationalege
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Football podcast and they were already talking about well, you know, yes,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: and he's again the secret is out. So I think
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: he's the I think he's the easiest answer of anyone
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: for but this year in particular, I think the easy
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: answer is people will say Will Howard because it's a
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: quarterback and it's really a quarterback award. I'm going to go,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, who do you think I'm going to go
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: a little off the board?
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: Would I would say Will Howard because I've seen people
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: saying quinch On Judkins and I know you're going to
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: talk about the running backs. I just think those two
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: can't coexist in a Heisman campaign.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: Basically, there won't be the numbers.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: There well, and that's why I'm not going to talk
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: about the running backs. There was actually this was on
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: our board and see wrong again, this was on our board.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Someone asked about who was going to finish the highest
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: in the hen and I said, hear me out.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: Caleb Downs. And the reason is, I think, well, we're
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: just going to have a good year.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: I think Bill Howard's going to get Ohio State to
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: the level that they want to be in and you know,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: do they finish the drill and all the games, We'll see.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: But I think he's going to potentially have good but
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: not necessarily insane numbers, good but not necessarily insane highlights.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: He's going to be the good, you know, the very
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: good quarterback on what could be a great team, I think,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: But I don't know that he's going to have the flash,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: the sizzle, the pizaz yes to.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: Be that that Heisman. He's not gonna start gonna have
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: the Jaden Daniels kind of season.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: So my thought on Caleb Downs is I think he's
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: going to have some of those highlight reel plays.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: He also has the name recognition already.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: If they end up mixing him in and he gets
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: a touchdown or two on offense or special teams or
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: something like that, you always have the one defensive player, right,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: maybe it's Travis Hunter. If Colorado goes five and seven again,
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: it's not can be Travis Hunter.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: Probably, So you have the one defensive player who's there.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: He has the name recognition already, he has the team
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: around him, he has the ability to maybe play on
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: more than one side of the ball. I think he's
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: at least because of the running back splitting their vote,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: and because Jeremars Miss a freshman, and because you know
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: all the other stuff, I think he's maybe a sneaky
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: interesting pick for that.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: That's a good call because you have a lot of
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: the voters who are media people talking about their votes.
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: They are like music fans who only listen to indy.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: Some of them are like I or like they like
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: to pretend they know about music, and so they Caleb Downs.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: They have a defensive guy every year that is their
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: indie music. Yeah.
• 40:46
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and sous Hypter. You probably haven't heard of him, right,
• 40:51
  Speaker 8: I vote for defense, Yeah, I always. I always make
• 40:54
  Speaker 8: sure I have a defensive guy in there. I think
• 40:55
  Speaker 8: Travis Hunter transcends that because he's He's both, so I
• 40:59
  Speaker 8: think there's still really for a defensive only guy. But yeah,
• 41:03
  Speaker 8: it's you know, I'm credible. I'm picking a defender to be.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: Third in well and with Travis Hunter is Shadoor Sanders.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: If Colorado has a really good season, you're gonna have
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: people gassing up Shador Sanders too, So you might split
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: the Colorado vote in the same way that you're talking
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: about splitting your host it running back vote. So we'll
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: see that. That's my a little bit off the board
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: pick there.
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: But yeah, I have one last one, going back to
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: nicknames for Nick McClarty, Doug Lindsay, Jonah Booker already nailed
• 41:33
