Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey guys, it's Tom have another bonus episode for you.
- 0:04Speaker 1: Just have more and more and more content coming from
- 0:07Speaker 1: Big Ten Media Days. Those of course ended last week,
- 0:09Speaker 1: but the content it is still coming. This one is
- 0:12Speaker 1: about the Ohio State Buckeyes talking about one of their
- 0:15Speaker 1: Big Ten opponents, not even a team that's on the
- 0:17Speaker 1: schedule this year, but a team where they're starting to
- 0:20Speaker 1: build a little bit of an interesting history between the
- 0:22Speaker 1: two schools, and that would be the Buckeyes and the
- 0:24Speaker 1: Oregon Ducks. Of course, Ohio State went out to Eugene
- 0:27Speaker 1: last fall and lost an absolute classic thirty two to
- 0:30Speaker 1: thirty one in Autson Stadium, and then more than made
- 0:33Speaker 1: up for it in the Rose Bowl in the College
- 0:35Speaker 1: Football Playoff quarter final, absolutely thumped Oregon. They had that
- 0:39Speaker 1: thirty four to nothing lead in the second quarter, rolled
- 0:42Speaker 1: to a win, and took a dream orgon season and
- 0:46Speaker 1: absolutely shredded it. So here's everything the Ohio State Buckeyes
- 0:51Speaker 1: had to say about the Oregon Ducks at Big Ten
- 0:53Speaker 1: Media Days. The organ Ducks were a hot topic when
- 0:57Speaker 1: we were talking to Ryan Day and the Ohio State players.
- 0:59Speaker 1: So you're going to let you hear a little bit
- 1:01Speaker 1: about what the Buckeyes had to say about the Ducks.
- 1:03Speaker 2: We'll start with Ryan Day, who was asked just about
- 1:06Speaker 2: his friendship and relationship and professional whatever with Dan Lanning.
- 1:10Speaker 2: And those are guys who have not necessarily known each
- 1:13Speaker 2: other all that long, but it sounds like Brian Day
- 1:16Speaker 2: has a lot of respect for Dan Lanning. You're also
- 1:18Speaker 2: going to hear him mention Dan Lanning's wife. Just a
- 1:20Speaker 2: little context there. She was diagnosed with cancer in twenty sixteen,
- 1:24Speaker 2: has happily been cancer free for about eight years. So
- 1:27Speaker 2: but when you hear him talk about Dan Lanning's wife,
- 1:30Speaker 2: that's the context there.
- 1:31Speaker 3: You know. I think Dan is a great coach. I
- 1:33Speaker 3: think he's got a great perspective when you really get
- 1:36Speaker 3: a chance to know him, which I have. Well, we
- 1:38Speaker 3: got a chance to go on the Nike trip together
- 1:42Speaker 3: and then also play golf you know, this spring, and
- 1:46Speaker 3: you know when you hear the story about he and
- 1:48Speaker 3: his wife and everything his wife has been through, He's
- 1:50Speaker 3: got an unbelievable perspective on the game and you know
- 1:53Speaker 3: what motivates him, and so you know, you don't always
- 1:57Speaker 3: see that in coaches. So I have a lot of
- 1:59Speaker 3: respect for him, and not only the work that he does,
- 2:01Speaker 3: but also the perspective that he has. He cares about
- 2:03Speaker 3: people and he's got a good balance in his life.
- 2:06Speaker 3: I believe he's very intelligent, and you know, it's always
- 2:10Speaker 3: good at competing against him.
- 2:11Speaker 2: Now onto a high state safety Caleb Downs and some
- 2:14Speaker 2: of his thoughts on the Oregon Ducks. What stands out
- 2:17Speaker 2: to him about that thirty two to thirty one game
- 2:20Speaker 2: in Eugene last October.
- 2:22Speaker 4: Now, looking back at it, I think that was a
- 2:25Speaker 4: changing book for our defense. I think it helped us
- 2:29Speaker 4: excel to where we were at at the end of
- 2:31Speaker 4: the year and changed our philosophy a little bit to
- 2:34Speaker 4: put ourselves in a position to win. But in the moment,
- 2:37Speaker 4: they had an elite crowd that was a serious atmosphere.
- 2:42Speaker 4: They did a great job of that game and they
- 2:44Speaker 4: came out all that time.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Then, of course, it was a very different story in
- 2:48Speaker 2: the Rose Bowl last year. What are his memories of
- 2:51Speaker 2: that Rose Bowl game against the Oregon Ducks last season?
- 2:55Speaker 4: Joy, I mean, it's a great experience being able to
- 2:59Speaker 4: play a team twice that you It gives yourselves the
- 3:03Speaker 4: opportunity to avenge the mistakes that you made. I made
- 3:09Speaker 4: some mistakes in that first game, and a couple other
- 3:11Speaker 4: players made some mistakes in the first game that we
- 3:13Speaker 4: wanted to get back, so it gave ourselves the opportunity
- 3:16Speaker 4: to do that and further our season based.
- 3:19Speaker 5: Off of it.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Sometimes you'll get people who walk up in the middle
- 3:22Speaker 2: of an interview session and don't realize the question has
- 3:24Speaker 2: been answered, but you do get sort of a different
- 3:26Speaker 2: answer or different different context to the question, which will
- 3:29Speaker 2: maybe lead you a little bit of a different answer.
- 3:31Speaker 2: So Dollas was asked about his impressions of Autin Stadium
- 3:34Speaker 2: from the Buckeye's trip out there last October.
- 3:37Speaker 4: I think going into it, they told us it was
- 3:39Speaker 4: probably fifty or sixty thousand, and somebody was like, that's
- 3:43Speaker 4: that's not like crazy or nothing. But they was rocking
- 3:48Speaker 4: in there, and they came out with the motorcycle on
- 3:51Speaker 4: the field and I was like, oh, I was like, okay,
- 3:54Speaker 4: but I mean I love that type of energy, So
- 3:59Speaker 4: I mean it was it was a positive for me,
- 4:01Speaker 4: and I liked I liked those type of atmospheres, so
- 4:04Speaker 4: it was great.
- 4:05Speaker 2: The Buckeyes, of course, have one rival who will always
- 4:08Speaker 2: stand above everyone else, and that is Michigan.
- 4:11Speaker 5: But is there maybe a little bit of.
- 4:13Speaker 2: A budding rivalry between the Buckeyes and the Oregon Ducks.
- 4:17Speaker 4: That's not really for me to decide, but I mean,
- 4:19Speaker 4: after a couple of years of playing each other, if
- 4:22Speaker 4: that continues to happen, maybe.
- 4:26Speaker 2: Now onto Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State star wide receiver, And
- 4:30Speaker 2: of course he was at the center of a bunch
- 4:31Speaker 2: of controversy at the end of the first game against
- 4:35Speaker 2: Oregon out in Austin Stadium. He had that offensive pass
- 4:39Speaker 2: interference call that pushed Ohio State out of field goal
- 4:42Speaker 2: range right at the end of the game. So he
- 4:45Speaker 2: was really upset about that pass interference call after the game.
- 4:49Speaker 2: Is he still upset about that call?
- 4:51Speaker 6: Uh? Yeah, Actually I was talking to my training when
- 4:54Speaker 6: I was down to the Florida last week about it
- 4:55Speaker 6: and he was like, he said, it was a passive deference.
- 5:00Speaker 6: I just laughed and I was like, Okay, it is
- 5:02Speaker 6: what it is. But yeah, I definitely still think about
- 5:04Speaker 6: that stuff.
- 5:06Speaker 5: Definitely. When we played him in the.
- 5:07Speaker 6: Rose Bull I just played with that that as like, Okay,
- 5:10Speaker 6: y'all took that game away for y'all, cannot take this
- 5:12Speaker 6: game away for us this time.
- 5:14Speaker 5: So that's why I went out.
- 5:15Speaker 6: I feel like I played the way I play and
- 5:16Speaker 6: made the stems that I made because I fled them,
- 5:18Speaker 6: guys couldnot play with us. Even though we had a bat.
- 5:20Speaker 6: We even play our best game and it was still
- 5:23Speaker 6: a close game. But Rosebud really showed like we could
- 5:25Speaker 6: really dominate anybody you put in front of us.
- 5:27Speaker 2: What were Jeremiah Smith's impressions of his first trip out
- 5:31Speaker 2: to Austin Stadium last season?
- 5:33Speaker 5: Oh, it was it was rocking. Probably the lotest that
- 5:35Speaker 5: I've ever been in.
- 5:37Speaker 6: Hey fans, was definitely no getting high crowds, couldn't hear anything,
- 5:41Speaker 6: stuff like that. But probably the best stadium I played
- 5:43Speaker 6: in last year.
- 5:44Speaker 2: Jeremiah spect has only been at Ohio State one year,
- 5:47Speaker 2: but of course he has already played Oregon twice and
- 5:49Speaker 2: he's won one in that series. And there's a decent
- 5:52Speaker 2: possibility that, even though Organ's not in Ohio State's regular
- 5:55Speaker 2: season schedule this year, the Buckeyes and Ducks very well
- 5:58Speaker 2: might meet at least once or twice this season as well.
- 6:01Speaker 2: So is there kind of a budding rivalry with Oregon
- 6:04Speaker 2: in his mind?
- 6:05Speaker 5: A budding rivalry?
- 6:06Speaker 6: Uh, kind of a little bit, kind of That's how
- 6:10Speaker 6: I think I think it's going. The way things going
- 6:12Speaker 6: is kind of like Ohio State Oregon. It's starting to
- 6:15Speaker 6: be like a little rivalry, I guess.
- 6:16Speaker 2: I guess mentioned earlier the call that went against Ohio
- 6:19Speaker 2: State in terms of the offensive pass interference call against
- 6:22Speaker 2: Jeremiah Smith, there was also that twelve men on the
- 6:25Speaker 2: field penalty that the Ducks took that bought them a
- 6:28Speaker 2: little bit of time at the end of the game,
- 6:30Speaker 2: and that was something that the Big Ten and the
- 6:33Speaker 2: NC Double A changed that rule very quickly after the
- 6:36Speaker 2: game where there was a twelve men on the field
- 6:38Speaker 2: penalty and Dan Lenning was able to kind of exploit
- 6:40Speaker 2: a loophole in that rule to run time off the clock.
- 6:44Speaker 2: So what was what was Jeremiah Smith's thoughts on that
- 6:48Speaker 2: penalty At the time it happened.
- 6:50Speaker 5: I didn't really think nothing of it.
- 6:52Speaker 6: I didn't really see what total people on the field
- 6:54Speaker 6: to until I got on my phone like after the game,
- 6:57Speaker 6: and I mean it's I mean, he just made a smartness.
- 7:00Speaker 6: No just I guess it was a smart move backles
- 7:02Speaker 6: dan Line, I should say.
- 7:04Speaker 2: So that'll do it for the Ohio State Buckeyes and
- 7:06Speaker 2: their thoughts on the Oregon Ducks. The Ducks will be
- 7:09Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas on Tuesday. We'll get their thoughts
- 7:12Speaker 2: on the Buckeyes and a whole bunch of other topics.
- 7:14Speaker 2: I'm sure again that it does seem like it is
- 7:17Speaker 2: a little bit of a budding river where it's not
- 7:19Speaker 2: the Michigan game yet, but you play enough high profile
- 7:22Speaker 2: games between two teams that are at the top of
- 7:24Speaker 2: the rankings, and you maybe play more than once in
- 7:26Speaker 2: a season, and there's an old saying about familiarity breeding contempt,
- 7:30Speaker 2: and you might see that a little bit between the
- 7:32Speaker 2: Bucks and the Ducks on the field this season. We're
- 7:36Speaker 2: gonna be talking to Dan Lanning and the Organ players
- 7:39Speaker 2: about that and a bunch of other things later today.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Oregon definitely has taken a central role in the Big Ten.
- 7:46Speaker 2: Should be a lot to talk to them about, but
- 7:48Speaker 2: definitely a lot to look forward to this year. We
- 7:50Speaker 2: look forward to talking about with you about all of it.
