• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Buckeyes Tomorrow Morning for Saturday, November twenty second.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I'm your host, Tom Or. The Rutgers game is today
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the game, It's Michigan in seven days. If you are
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: planning your next event, make it unforgettable with Grateful Griddle,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Columbus's favorite food truck serving up Smashburger's courmet sandwiches and
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: good vibes. Booker catering today at Gratefulgriddle, oh dot com.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: All right, so we got the Rotgers game today, you
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: know what to expect from that. We will be their
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: pre game, we will be their postgame talking about all
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, and then basically, as soon as
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: a clock hit zero, it becomes Michigan week and we
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: will have lots of coverage, way way more coverage than
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: a typical game week for you. And we are going
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: to try and frontload that as much as we can
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: because we know a lot of you guys have long
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: drives or flights or whatever it is to travel to
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: see family for Thanksgiving, So we are going to try
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and get as much of that into your podcast feeds
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: on the Buckeyes Tomorrow Morning Feed and especially the Buckeye
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Weekly Feed this week as early as we can. You'll
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: probably see that stuff pop up a little later on YouTube,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: but just in terms of podcasts, you're going to get
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: it probably a little front loaded this week, so just
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: to sort of know what to expect. So one thing
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: we are probably not going to have a whole heck
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: of a lot of time to talk about this week
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: is recruiting. But man, oh man, has there been a
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: lot to talk about on the recruiting front. Juck did
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: an episode of bucke Huddle Primetime earlier in the week
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: talking about just the absolute avalanche of commitments that Bluckuys
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: have gotten thirteen between October and November. So Juck spent
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: some time breaking all of those down for you not
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: this is just kind of a good interesting show to
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: just kind of touch on that, because again, we are
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: not going to have a lot of time to talk
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: about recruiting probably over the next week or so. So
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: here's Chuck giving you everything you need to know.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Hey, it's Chuck. We are not bemoaning the noon kickoff.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: We're now owning it. It's a badge of honor. We're
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: the lunatic fringe that defines our coaches legacy when it
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: comes to this game. They don't get to define that
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: outside the family who were cut from a different cloth.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Bro hioans. He's got it all, man, He's even got
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: the jaw. You know the jaw. You see that jaw
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and you're just like, yeah, man, that's a dude. Do
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I want Michigan to beat Oklahoma? No way in hell.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know what world I'm living in. This is
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: insane to me. And if you saw my outburst, I apologize.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: It's showtime now and welcome into Buck Eye Huddle Prime Time.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: It's your friend, Juck. Appreciate you so much for joining me.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: And we are starting off on a really bad foot,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: right off the rip on a bad foot. As our buddy,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Ryan says Juck Biggins at rivals, he's reporting the USC
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: is putting on the full court press on flipping Caden
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Dixon Wyatt. Hopefully Heartline can fend them off. That is
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: not how we want to start the show, Ryan, not
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: at all. It's not do we want to start the show, Buddy.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: We got a lot to talk about today. Since we
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: last talked on Monday, just a few days ago, Ohio
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: State has landed two more prospects on this historic run
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: they've been on. I talked to one of them because
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: his story is so dog one in interesting. I had
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: to get a couple quotes, and I've got some good
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: ones to share with you. We also have some updated
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: rankings from both Rivals and two four seven, which sometimes
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: interest some sometimes don't. I think they're kind of important
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: right now as Ohio State has gone all in unevaluating
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: undervalued prospects in their senior film. So some interesting things
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: with at least a couple of these guys that you're
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: gonna want to hear. Ryan Day had his press conference
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: yesterday and then just an hour ago his lightning round
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: at the Woody. We'll discuss those press conferences and what
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: he had to say about his ailing wide receivers and
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: a certain running back. And we have got the worst
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: weekend slate of games that we have seen all year,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: maybe of our entire lives. Of course, it's the week
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: that the SEC is playing Mercer and East Carolina State
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: and such. We'll also take your calls at the end
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: of the show. If anybody wants to call in, you
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: can call in. All you got to do is go

• 4:03
  Speaker 2: only thing is there's just one role man. You got
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: to be entertaining that. There's not back and forth. We're
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: gonna have a conversation. It's about a being about a
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: bang and you're on your way. But bring whatever you want.

• 4:28
  Speaker 2: by the way, check out but bucke hudle dot com.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I just wrote an article about Braxton Rembert and it is,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I believe, a free article on the site. So go
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: check that one out today. Of course, you can always
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: join the site if you want to join the site.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: That's really fantastic. That would be awesome if you That's
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: kind of how we uh you know, how how we
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: make things roll over at Buckeye Huddle and we get
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: the best board ever. I love it. Uh Brandigho says,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: hope we keep him. But if I had to pick
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: one position group that we could afford to lose someone,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: it would be wide receiver. You know you're probably right.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I just I'm of the mind that Cayden Dixon Wyatt
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: is a number one man and they got Booby Feaster.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: They got Booby Feaster in their class already. If they
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: get Cayden Dixon Wyatt, and the way their wide receivers
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: are playing now, I mean that's attempting spot to go
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: play wide receiver, They're really tearing it up. We will
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: talk about Oregon and USC here probably in a few
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: but first our buck Eyes as they play their final
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: trash game in this streak of five trash games, enormous
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: favorites at home against Rutgers for Senior Day. Carson Hinsman
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: will not be participating in Senior Day drills as of
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: right now, because Carson Hinsman has not made his mind
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: up as to whether or not he's going to be
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: exiting the program for the NFL Draft, And wouldn't it
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: just be fantastic if he's stuck around that would be
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: so great. Of course, he won Offensive Player of the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Week nine knockdowns. Ryan Day said he had nine knockdowns
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: and it's hard to knock down a trash can nine
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: times so high praise for Carson Hensman, I would sure
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: love to retain him. But when you look at Rutgers
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: and you look at Maryland, talent rich places that don't
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: spend their money on football, and that to me, like,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: if I'm a big dog in the Big Ten and
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: this private equity deal, right, it's not technically private equity deal,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: but what it does is and who cares how you
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: feel about private equity. The big thing here is it
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: locks Ohio State onto everybody in the Big Ten till
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: twenty forty six. And the reason that the lower level
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: guys want that so bad it's not just for the money.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: The money's great, but they want to lock onto Ohio
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: State and Michigan and Penn State and Oregon and USC
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: and Nebraska so that they have a football future. And
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: the big dogs can't walk away from them and go
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: do something if something else comes up, because they'll surely
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: be on the outside looking in. And that's their own
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: fault because they don't invest the whirlwind of money that
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: they get it into football. And it's pathetic. And if
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I was running Rutgers, man, I'll tell you the first
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: thing I would do. The first thing I would do
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: is you got to make it cooler for the recruits.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: And I do think about things like this. If you're
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: running Rutgers, those Jersey boys want to play for Jersey State,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: not rot gut Rutgers, Jersey State. I'm rebranding Jersey State
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: on everything now. Rutgers is the state University of New Jersey.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Put Jersey all over everything. They want to play. Look
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: look at all the Buckeyes right now that would be
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: playing for Jersey State if it was a cool destination.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Quincy Porter, igb Deshaun Stewart, Dez Jones, who else. We
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: got a bunch, We got a bunch of Jersey boys,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Jaylen McClain, a ton of them. They would all be
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: at home if I was running the branding at New
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Jersey now. Yesterday Ryan Day's press conference, he was asked
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: a couple of questions about Rutgers. That was a couple
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: two men. Buckey's thirty one and a half point favorites,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: and when we look at getting to Indy the Big
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Ten Championship. He talked about getting to Indy a lot,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: and they sure definitely do want to get to India
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I think it's just another way of saying, we want
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: to win the damn game. We want to win the
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: game in the game now, guys, just ten days away
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: after the game twenty four I'm sorry, after the Big
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Ten Championship, should they make it there twenty four days?
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I think they got to wait, which is going to
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: be brutal waiting that twenty four days to get to
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: the playoffs. And we had a twenty day layoff last
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: year after the game before the Tennessee game, but we
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: had a lot to talk about in that twenty days.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: This time, that twenty four days is going to drag
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: quite a bit. And this is the twenty four day
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: drag that those Oregon fans are still whining about from
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: last year. And it is not going to be fun
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: waiting twenty four days. And I hate this about this
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: twelve team format. No worry, Tony Petiti, the Big Ten commissioner,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: is trying to get us a new playoff format, as
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: he has pitched this to the other powers that be
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: a twenty four team playoff. And I'll explain a little
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: further as to what he wants to see on tomorrow's
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: episode of Chuck on Bucks. But I'm excited. Man. The
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: game is ten days away. I'm starting to get the butterflies.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: I'm starting to get into that normal feel. It'll be
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: about five days out before I get the massive butterflies.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: But it's right on the top of my mind here.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: It's just get through Rutgers. And what I always love
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: about the game before the game is in the postgame
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: press conference after Rutgers, there won't be a single question
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: about Rutgers. It'll all be for next week, which is
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: always so much fun. But the Buckeys will finally, you know,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: get into the portion of the season where they are tested,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: where they can you know, have some competition and people
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: won't downplay them. And I just don't think that you
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: know football if you can't look at this team, regardless
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: of who they're playing, and realize how good it is.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: But speaking of being tested, there is an article that
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: just dropped about three hours ago that I want to
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: share with you. And I'm gonna pull this puppy up. Now.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I'm not great at doing this, so let's hopefully I
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: can get it right the first time. I think it's
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: worked all right. It's on the screen now, the header
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: of this article, and this is from Football Scoop. Ohio
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: State quarterback Julian Saying has no business winning the Heisman Trophy,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: and he begins the article this is from Zach Barnett.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Let's begin with the confession, I have not watched a
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: lot of Ohio State this year. That's how he begins
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: his argument for Ohio State quarterback Julian Saying has no
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: business winning the Heisman Trophy with I got a confession,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I've not watched a kid play, which is just unbelievable. Like,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: if that's how you start an article, I would think
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: that's your cue that you should stop writing the damn article.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: But he doesn't stop. He goes on to make himself
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: look like an even more a bigger moron. He goes
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: on about the Texas game and how good Ohio State's
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: been on year. On the surface, his Heisman candidacy makes sense.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: He's on pace to shatter the FBS single season completion
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: percentage record at eighty point one, and he's tied for
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: second nationally with nine point five yards in attempt. He
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: leads the nation in a passing efficiency. His one eighty
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: six point two three rating outpaces Caleb Williams and Bryce Young.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: In their Heisman Trophy seasons. And yet the statistic that
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: I find most compelling about saying season is this one zero.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: That's the number of passes Sayan has thrown this season
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: while trailing or tied in the second half. That's his argument.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: He's not thrown a pass in the second half, either
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: trailing or tied. And of course you could say what
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: any normal person would say, well, why is that he
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: must be leading that offense to scoring a whole lot
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: of points and getting a lead so much so that
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: his team is never trailing in the second half. And
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: he doesn't even need to stress it that to this
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: guy is not a pat on the back for a
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: job well done. It is an elimination. And we are
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: hearing this kind of nonsense all over the country. And
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I know that some of you don't care about the Heisman.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I get it. I think this speaks to a broader
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: point of how Ohio State gets treated nationally. It's just ridiculous.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: I look at everything with a very open mind. Some
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: of you get mad at me. I mean, I'm very
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: I remove myself as an Ohio State fan, and I'm
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: critical sometimes of things about Ohio State football, and some
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: of you guys get irritated. I get it, But to
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: not have the ability to remove your biases and judge
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: something fairly is something I just can't relate to. That guy.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know where he's from or what he's got
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: going on, but he's clearly got some biases against Ohio
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: State to say something and make himself look like such
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: an imbecile in print. He put it out there for
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: the world to see. Anyway, A terrible slate of games
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: this Saturday, guys, And a lot of times we say
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: that and then it turns out to be there's a
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: bunch of upsets. It's a fantastic time. We all enjoyed it,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: and we talk on Monday about what a great slate
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: it ended up being. But as far as games of consequence,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: like I think this one is actually just going to
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: be really crappy. You've got a couple of big games,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: and one of them not even that big, as number
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: twenty two Missouri, who may or may not have bo
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: perbula back goes to number eight Oklahoma. Now, Oklahoma got
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: to win, got a win to stay in the playoff race,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: or they could potentially lose. Because people have talked about
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: just how crazy difficult their schedule is all year, since
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: before the year started. The thing about that is when
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: you look at their schedule before the year and look
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: at it now, with four of those wins being against
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: South Carolina who is now three and seven, Auburn who
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: fired their coach, LSU who fired their coach in Missouri,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: who doesn't have their starting quarterback. Well that's for games
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: right off the rip that aren't so tough. They did
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: play old miss Tennessee, Alabama, Texas, and Michigan. We got
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: to play Texas in Michigan, and I would have done
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: anything to have their schedule this year. That would have
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: been awesome. But in the three point thirty slot, we
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: got the big ten banger, USC Number fifteen heads into
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Oregon to play number seven Oregon, a nine and a
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: half point favorite. And if you had asked me what
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: I thought the line was going to be on this,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: I'd have probably said six. Nine and a half seems
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: like a lot. I would take USC in all those points.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: But I'm taking the week off from gambling because it
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: ain't been going so hot. But the people I think
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: are overestimating Oregon and underestimating USC a little bit. Also,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: maybe not factoring in Dan Lanning's record in big games.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: This guy's not been good. He's not been good at all.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: And as much as I hate USC, and you know,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: we're talking old pac twelve days, like, I am rooting
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: for Oregon ten out of ten t times in this
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: matchup for me, Michigan, USC, Miami one, two three, Hate
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: them all, hate them all so much Oregon. I don't
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: have hate for Oregon, but if USC loses this game,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: they're done. So this is essentially a playoff game for USC.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: And these are the types of games that people who
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: wanted the expansion of the playoff would say, look, we
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: do this, and then you get games like this where
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: they're at a do or die situation. So it is
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: essentially a playoff game for them, but very important for
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Oregon as well. When we look at Oregon, they've only
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: lost one game this year, and that game was too
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Indiana at home. If they lose another game and at home,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: that's pretty rough. When you look at their wins over
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma State, Northwestern Oregon State, Penn State, who you know.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: The committee chair brought that up yesterday and I was
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: of the same mind that after Oregon beat Penn State,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Penn State fell apart, and Oregon still deserved a lot
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: of credit for that victory. But as the season's gone
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: on and we've seen, Okay, I don't think this Penn
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: State talent was all it was cracked up to be
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: in the first place. It's really lost its luster even
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: as you know, even trying to give them credit for that.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: So not much credit. But they also beat Rutgers, Wisconsin,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Iowa by two points in Minnesota, Iowa by two points
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: at Iowa, the best victory that they have, and they
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: still got to play Washington, so you know it might
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: be pretty close for them. I just don't think Oregon's
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: that good this year. I really don't. I think USC
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: better than they're being given credit for. I think they'll
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: be able to score on them quite a bit, and
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: I'm really looking forward to that. So that's at three thirty.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Of course, we got the game in ten days, and
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: as Ohio State has Rutgers, Michigan has the other East
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Coast bottom dweller, Maryland. Michigan needs to win this game
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: at Maryland to come into the game at nine and
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: two with the playoffs on the line for them, with
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: which I very much want to happen. Of course, I'm
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: not gonna watch them playing Marrigant Larryland and root for him.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: I'll root for them to be upset like I always do.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: But should they win, I mean, it's kind of a
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: win win, right. If they lose, it's hilarious. And if
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: they win, I wanted them to be nine and two
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: because I want the stakes to be as high as possible.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: They're a thirteen and a half point favorite and they're
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: coming off what I thought was honestly, it was a
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: sloppy game with five turnovers to none against Northwestern on Saturday,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: but I felt like Bryce Underwood look a lot better
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: than he has and he was on the road at Wrigley.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: He's got a good connection going on with freshman out
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: of Texas Andrew Marsh really good wide receiver. He'll be
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: good for years to come. Those two a good little connection.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: And if they go into Maryland and blow out Maryland,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: they're gonna be feeling on cloud nine. I mean, they're
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: on a roll, so they're cooking, and that's exactly what
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: they want to be coming into the game. And I'll
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: be watching that one of course, after the postgame show,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: which will be here on Bookee Huddle, me and Mark
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: and I don't know who's joining us after the Buckeyes game. Now,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: the evening slate of games is maybe the worst evening
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: slate we've had in years. We have got Pitt at
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Georgia Tech on ABC, Tennessee at Florida on whatever the hell,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Illinois at Wisconsin in Nebraska at Penn State. That is
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: our evening slate. I mean there's not a single game
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: there to watch other than the Big Twelve game, which
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: is from Nipper. Now, this is what I'll be cued
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: in on as Cincinnati welcomes in BYU. And this would
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: have been a massive game had Cincinnati not blown it
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: last week. These two teams would have both had just
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: one loss in the Big Twelve trying to get to
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: the championship game. Now it's BYU. BYU needs to beat
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati to get to the championship game. In play Texas Tech.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: I'm not rooting for BYU. I'm rooting for Cincinnati because
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I think I think that the best matchup in that
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Big Twelve championship game is a rematch of Utah and
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Texas Tech. Because BYU could not compete with Texas Tech
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: at all Utah could. Therefore, we need Cincinnati to win
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: that game. They're just a two and a half point underdog,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: So the Marricats at Knippert Stadium. We're rooting for that one.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: But outside of that, man, the trashiest of trash slates
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: there ever, was not looking forward to it. And I
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: can't believe I'm saying that this late in the season,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: thanks to the SEC playing Mercer in East Carolina State, etc. Now,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: if I could remind you guys to please do like
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: the show, that would be fantastic. And if you have
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: not subscribed yet to Buckeye Huddle, we certainly love that
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: as well. The screen is weird? Is the screen weird
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: for you guys? Buckeye Nation says, the screen is weird.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: It looks great on my end. Yeah, let's like the video, Thanks, buddy,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Let's like the video. Ryan says, it'll come down to
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: if Lanning takes his shirt off on national Time again
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: like he did for IU. If he keeps it on,
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: I like their chances. Uh do you remember the uh
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: sl slit slit the jugular that was his saying out
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: at Penn State. Man, he's such a strange guy. Dude.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Cut the jugular cut the jugular. He was doing this
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: on TV the weirdo uh Ryan Day's presser yesterday, the
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Ohio nil conversation came up. So we've talked about this,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: but Ohio one of just a few states now that
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: does not have NIL for high school kids. As this
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: just was a topic, like a brand new topic. I
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: remember I I did it when Florida first legalized it.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: And when Florida first legalized it, Ohio State was still
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: in on wide receivers Jamie French and for New Brown,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: and they immediately did an American Eagle ad, which everybody
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: then thought meant they were going to Ohio State because
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: of the the connection with the Shottenstein's and American Eagle.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: But no dice. But that wasn't long ago, man, It
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: was like fifteen months ago. And at the time there
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: weren't that many states at NIL legal and now there's
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: like forty four forty four. So Jamiir Brown, the number
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: one player in the state of Ohio Buckeye commit in
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Class twenty twenty seven, top three wide receiver in the country,
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: challenged this law, took it to court and claimed that
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: you know, they got one hundred thousand dollars offer on
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: the table that they can't take or Jamiir is going
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: to lose his eligibility. And at the time, OHSAA, so
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: they voted against nil three years ago. And I know
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: a lot of people are against high school nil, but
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, if we're just being honest here, it is
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: unconstitutional and it's going to lose. Like if somebody wants
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: to make money legally, you can't really say that they're
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: not allowed to make it. We've seen this same suit
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: go time and time again and lose every time. So
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Jamiir always going to win that lawsuit. But as soon
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: as it got to court, before they even heard the case,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: a judge put a moratory on the Ohio High School
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Athletic Association from being able to enforce that rule, which
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: means currently all Ohio high school kids can earn nil
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: right now and retain their eligibility, which everybody should be
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: in favor of at this point, because when you got
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: a high school athlete in the state of Ohio who
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: can earn nil, which let's be honest, how many of
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: them can actually earn nil five six like real money?
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Probably not even that many. And their option is to
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: now stay in Ohio and not make money or leave
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: the state and go make money, which means we gotta
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: get with the times here, which Ryan Day essentially said
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: as he was asked about it yesterday. I thought he
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: would be a little more effusive in his support. He
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: was a little milk toasty, but he said, when you
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: look at the rest of the nation, it's kind of
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: become the standard. Maybe ten years ago everybody would have
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: said no way, but that was a different time, and
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: it certainly was speaking of nil in high school. We
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: have got three now high school recruit who's committed to
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: the class of twenty twenty six who have got sweet
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: deals as buck I commit. Blaine Bradford has just signed
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: on with under Armour as a model, so he is
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: modeling under Armour. We've also got Chris Henry Jr. And
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Kayden Dixon Wyatt who both work for Adidas now. So
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: we've got guys coming in to Ohio state already with
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: massive endorsements, which is pretty awesome. That is, let's be honest,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: if he was going to LSU, I don't think he'd
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: have that deal. And that's why I always thought and
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: still do. If it really comes down in the house
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: settlement really is starting to work in third party nil
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: deals or really where it's at. Ohio State has positioned
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: so beautifully with that. I don't think anybody can compete
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: at quite the highest level as Ohio State when it
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: comes to third party nil deals. The power in the
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: notoriety when you are a star at Ohio State, it's
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: bigger than anywhere else. Notre Dame, I would say, is
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: probably pretty comparable as well, But Notre Dame doesn't have
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: the entire state of Ohio. Everybody in the state of aiole.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Every business wants to work with once a piece of
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Ohio State, they want to work in the state. What
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: was that? Did you guys hear? That just came through
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: my microphone? Oh Man? Anyway, Ryan Day was also asked
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: about the situation at right guard. So we've seen Gabe
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: van Sickle for the last two games. The first game
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: was a little rough. Last game he did much better.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Josh Patti has been out, so Padia most likely going
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: to be coming back. Are we going to see Padia
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: get back into that spot at right guard rotating in
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: with Tegra? Are we going to potentially see all three
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: of them? Day said, we'll probably just keep it to
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: two unless we get a really high amount of snaps,
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: which probably not going to happen, as you know, actually
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: there the snaps have gone up the last couple of games,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: defensive snaps have gone I think they only had forty
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: three defensive snaps last game, which Ryan Day did mention
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: was that's why you see our guys on defense looking
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: so fresh, and they certainly do. But let's get to
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: JJ and Carnell. So Ryan Day of course was asked
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: a series of questions about JJ, in about Carnell as
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: people tried to, you know, get him to say something
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: in any kind of anything, and they asked him several
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: different ways, and he continually answers with, you know, our
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: policy is not to speak on injuries. And then today
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: at the Lightning Round press conference on Wednesday, asked about CJ. Donaldson,
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: who remembers CJ. Donaldson did not play last week because
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: he was on the availability report, so he didn't play
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: last week, assuming it was an injury. And he was
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: asked about Donaldson today and he said he looked strong
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: and he had a good practice today, which is interesting,
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: sounds kind of like your commenting on that injury. I
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: don't know, man. I don't know how we're differentiating here,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: but there are a lot of people still freaking out
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: about is Carnell's shutting it down? Is JJ not going
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: to play against Michigan? And after Purdue, Ryan Day said
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Carnell Tate was held out and he probably could have
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: gone against Perdue had some tightness, right, we've all heard
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: maybe Achilles, maybe calf. So he went from probably could
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: have played to street close against UCLA. And then he
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: was asked on Tuesday about Jeremiah at the Illinois game.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: Remember the big hit. Max Claire and Austin Siavo went out,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: didn't get their block, let a guy run straight through,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: and JJ took a nasty hit, fell funny, grabbed his back.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: He was asked if it was that hit that is
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: maybe perhaps a lingering issue. He said no. And then
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: he was asked, was there any setback from Jeremiah in
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: the UCLA game? And he said no. So that confirms
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: a couple of things. Number One, it confirms that the
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: limp Jeremiah had after the game did not happen in
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: the Ucla game. So whatever was ailing him, he came
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: into that game with already, which begs the question why
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: is he playing that game if he already had that?
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: And I think it gives us a clear answer. He
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: can't do any more damage to it and the only
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: thing that's going to make it better is extended rest,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: which he can't have. So that makes me feel good
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: even better about it. But then Ryan Day said they're
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: both in good spirits and trying hard to get back,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: and that comment right there had some people nervous. Both
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: in good spirits. That sounds like you're injured when you're
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: saying they're in good spirits, you know what I mean?
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Like that just said like I don't something about that
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: choice of words makes me feel like I don't really
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: like the sound of they're in good spirits, Like they
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: were really down and now they're in good spirits. I
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: don't know, man, but people are shook. People are shook,
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: And I totally get it. Man. We've been through this
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: with JSI, with Nick Boso. We see a superstar shut
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: it down for the year. We've been traumatized over this.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: But do you remember what Jeremiah Smith said about the
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: game and about Michigan around Big ten media days and
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: how much he hates them and how public he was
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: with that. Do you remember. I remember talking to my
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: brother after the game last year. We were talking about, Wow,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: that's a freshman that has hate in his heart. You
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: could see it on the field, and sometimes we don't
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: see that from a guy his first go round in
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: the game, and sometimes we see guys fake it, fake
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: tough guy, get a penalty. Jeremiah had hat in his heart. Man,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: he had hate in his heart. He's talked about it.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: I don't think there is any way in hell you
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: could keep him off the field. He hates them. He
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: probably doesn't even know the reason I do. The reason
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: is because of loyalty. He's got a very deep sense
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: of loyalty. If his family's got beef, he's got beef,
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: and his family's got big beef with them, so he
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: does too. He wouldn't miss that game for anything, not
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: a thing. And I'm positive that he fought to even
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: play that UCLA game, and it had nothing to do
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: with his personal stats. He wanted to get in there
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: and play. So the thought of JJ missing Michigan to
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: me is absurd. It'll never happen, and we've now already
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: seen him play with this injury. How do you look
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: didn't affect his play one bit he was in pain. Afterwards,
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: he'll suck it up and deal with that. And then
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: after the Big Ten Championship, remember twenty four days rest,
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: which is essentially what Carnell Tait is going to have
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: if he sits out this upcoming week against Rutgers. It
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: seems to me like the UCLA sit out of Carnell
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: was totally precautionary and they'll probably do it again this week.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: And that's fine, that's good. I'm looking forward to seeing
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: these backup wide receivers play again myself. They need some
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: more work and it would be really nice to see
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: them kind of kind of break off with some really
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: good performances. So that's that. With that from the press conference,
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: I don't think anything else interesting came out of there,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: but we did maybe a couple comments about recruiting. But
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: as it comes to recruiting, like we just talked Monday, right,
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: we just talked Monday, and there are two more recruits.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: I do a recruit video, a commit video for every
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: one of these guys, and I've done it since I
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: started my show, and I'm telling you it is it
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: has been something for poor little juck here man. Like
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: I'm constantly doing another one on top of the show
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: and writing articles and such in real life. You know
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: something's got to give here. This can't go on forever.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: But we have now seen an absurd record thirteen total
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: commits in the last forty days, nine of them in
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: the class of twenty six and the rest in twenty
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: twenty seven. But we just saw Brody McNeil commit. And
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: Brody McNeil, this is the guy I was talking about
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: at the offensive line and the blue chip offensive lineman.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: It was going to commit over the weekend. It was Brody.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: He waited till Tuesday. But Brody, I really like Brody.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Brody is six foot two eighty now listed as an
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: interior guy, and I'm not so sure, similar to Kellen Wimer,
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: that he doesn't have the versatility to play any position
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: on the offensive line. Now, he's only got thirty three
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: inch arms, which could technically preclude you from playing offensive tackle.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: But we've seen how Tyler Bowen is with these guys.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: He likes the six foot five that can swing either way,
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: and he'll decide what you're best suited for. Nobody would
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: ever look at Austin Cerehbell's build and say that's a
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: left tackle. So now that we've seen that, you know
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: anything's up, anything's up for grabs here. Brody is not
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: as fleet of foot or athletic as Kellen Weimer, but
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: he does move well, plays through the whistle. He's a
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: real smooth athlete, got good flexibility, doesn't look rigid or stiff,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: and he is a bit of a mauler. So I
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: actually kind of would put him in between in his
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: playing style, between Mason Wilt and Kellen Weimer. Mason will
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: is just a meathead guard, road grader, and Weimer is
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: an athletic tackle. I would say that Brody is right
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: in between him. So now you've got three three in
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: the class of twenty twenty seven on the offensive line,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: and Brody arrivals four star Top one twenty five overall,
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: two four to seven composite. He is a four star
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: number two thirty four overall, the number three player in
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Virginia had not acquired yet a massive offer list. Penn State,
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Tennessee the best outside of Ohio State. But Tyler Bowen,
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: remember from Virginia Tech where he was an offensive coordinator,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: knows Virginia well, and he found him when he was
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: at Virginia Tech. He also knows Virginia well from when
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: he was at Penn State. And Brody also a basketball player,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: as is his sister who plays at Dayton. So they
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: were just at Ohio the week before his visit to
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: UCLA watching his sister play in Dayton and that probably
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: had something to do with him coming to Ohio State.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: So Brody locked in the third offensive lineman in the
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: class of twenty twenty seven. In that class now it's
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: top three in the country, which doesn't matter at all
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: at this point, but moves up to seven commits. I
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: really love all seven players that are in there right now,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: and those players include Angelo Smith young j or JJ's
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: younger brother. So loving that class. But that's not the
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: only commit, as we also got Braxton Rembert. Braxton Rembert
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: the most recent commit, and he is a linebacker out
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: of Houston, Georgia. Goes to Mills Creek High School, that
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: is Caleb Downs High School, and he is a fascinating
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: prospect man at six foot five, two hundred pounds, he
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: is unbelievably long, and he's very intrigued by James Laureniis.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: James lauren Iitis obviously very intrigued by him. Braxton was
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: committed to the fifty sixth ranked wake Forest class before
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: the Buckeyes came calling. As unique as his size is,
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: the list of suitors was not William and Mary Gardner, Webb,
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: East Tennessee, Sandford, Southern miss Now, he did have all
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: three military academies, which tells you a lot about a
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: young guy. Number one, he's smart, to respectful, got the
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: right stuff about him. But he chose to go to
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: wake Forest at all those offers. Wake Forest the only
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Power five power four offer he had, which shows us
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: that he is wanting to play football. It's about football
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: for him. And as you can see on the film,
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: despite being just two hundred pounds, I mean a sure tackler,
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: not afraid to stick his nose in there. He's a hammer.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: I mean I love watching the kid play for real.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Some people concern six' five a little too tall for.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: LINEBACKER i Think sonny's six four and a half right,
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: now so doesn't concern me a. Bit and if he
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: ends up playing, edge so be. It also a great,
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: hoopstar scores a lot of points on the basketball, court
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: so a total stud That James loerni has Got WHEN
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: i asked him why did he Choose Ohio, state he
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: told me the story That james kind of has a.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Mantra james is a mantra that he talks to his.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: Linebackers So braxton, Said James laurnit has told me his
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: story how he was a three star and how he
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: had a similar recruiting process to. Me he told me
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: That Ohio state every year were bringing in your, replacement
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: and that's how it is in THE nfl as. WELL
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: i felt That Ohio STATE i would never be able
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: to become complacent where as to Where i'm at with the.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: Team So laurenitis's mantra with the, guys as he, says
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: and this is HOW i felt as WHEN i was a.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Player that is what he said to. Them Ohio state
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: was always trying to bring in my. Replacement SO i
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: had to make sure that didn't. Happen and that is
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: How i'm going to treat you. Guys i'm always trying
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: to replace, you and you need to make sure it doesn't.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Happen that's what he says to his. Linebackers, now if
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: you were somebody who is committed to play At Wake
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: forest and you got A hall of famer talking to,
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: you telling you he's trying to replace, you and you
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: jump into. That you're made of the right, stuff, Man
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: you're made of the right. STUFF i got a ton
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: of respect for that, kid and especially when it's a guy,
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: who you, know was ranked as a three, star the
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: thirteen hundredth ranked prospect in the. Country, now regarding, THAT
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: i asked him if he felt like he had been
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: overlooked with the lack of big time, offers with the you,
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: know not very flattering, rankings and he, said, NO i
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: don't feel. OVERLOOKED i felt a little. Unlucky But god
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: has a plan for. Everyone the reason WHY i say
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: unlucky is BECAUSE i was hurt my sophomore and junior
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: year And god blessed me to have the opportunity to
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: have a successful senior. Year a successful senior. Year, indeed
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: as everything had to line up For braxton to get this.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Opportunity for, one local masculine Star Jaden, williams stuck with
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: His indiana offer and did not flip To Ohio state for.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Two the portal ruling which is Let ohios to decide
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: to bring in a Larger class three revenue, sharing which
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: has pushed To Ohio state to want to wait longer
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: to review as much senior film as, possible and then
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: there's even being discovered By Ohio. State but there's. More this,
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: Week rivals came out with their newest, rankings as did
• 38:19

  Speaker 2: star at Both rivals and two four. Seven he is
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: the top two hundred and two ranked prospect in the
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: country Per, rivals which actually puts him in Between Ohio
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: state's two linebackers that were already COMMITTED. Cj sanna And Cincire,
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: johnson not even the lowest ranked. Linebacker and that is. Something,
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: man what a. Story this will be one That i'll
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: be following with A i, mean, like can you imagine
• 38:56

  Speaker 2: he was again similar To, braxton like the seventeen hundred
• 39:44

• 39:53
  Speaker 2: country as. Well so we're talking blue chippers That Ohio
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: state went and evaluated and out evaluated everybody. Else And
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: i'm just, saying you're, thinking, like, man this is What
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Iowa state, does Not Ohio. State but if they have
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: the capability to do this on top of getting the
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: guys at the top of the, board look out. Man
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: And Ryan day's been talking recently about evaluations never being so,
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: important and boy is he. Right and those evaluations really
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: prove it as The Ohio State Scouting department as excellent
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: as it. Is, right they're only seeing these guys that
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: are coming in and camping in. Person other than that
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: they're watching film going off that what are the boots
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: on the ground think about some of these. Guys, well for,
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: One Chris Henry junior at two four, seven who had
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: lost his fifth, star has now gotten it. Back he
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: had lost it when he was, injured as he was
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: injured most of the year last. Year this, year twenty
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: four receptions for five hundred and eighty eight. Yards that's
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: a lot of yards for twenty four receptionschdowns on the,
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: season not staggering, numbers but we've seen the plays that
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: he makes since Here johnson two four to seventies now
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: their fortieth overall player rivals ninety, four so a top
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: one hundred across the board sincere season this year was
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: just ridiculous a stat. Stuffer for, one he didn't play
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: the second half in a lot of, games but one
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: hundred and twelve, tackles eight and a half, sacks twenty
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: one and a half tackles for, loss two forced fumbles
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: in nine, games which is just. Absurd sincere is absolutely
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: gonna be a star middle linebacker, man absolute. Star, now
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: what really is amazing IS i don't think anybody expected
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: that When walt was on the verge of Flipping Jay
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: timmins out Of pittsburgh that he was really gonna be
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: like the number one corner in the. Country they had
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: him ranked at number two over At, rivals but it
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: almost felt to me, like you, know that was an
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: early ranking and they were going to switch it. Up
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: he moves to number. One and not only does he
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: move to number, one But Charles, power their director of,
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: scouting says that pound for, pound he Thinks Jay timmins
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: might just be the best football player in the entire. Class,
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: additionally two four to seven moves him up into the top.

  Speaker 2: Fifty So Jay timmins a total stud one of the

• 46:58
  Speaker 2: let him run and he's a burner and he's got good,

  Speaker 2: and join you one. Day yeah.
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: Awesome so, YEAH i had a couple of THINGS i
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: want to talk. About so, yeah first THING i PICKED
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: i don't Maybe Chris drew was talking. ABOUT i don't
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: remember who talked, about BUT i picked up on. Them
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: So i've been big on going from twelve to fourteen
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: BECAUSE i, feel in my, opinion if you go to,
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: fourteen since you only have two, buys you're gonna have
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: multiple conference champions competing for two, buys which means it
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: brings style points back into conference championships. Games but also
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: with the twelve, teams since we have four buys and
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: they're just to the top four, teams not for conference Champions,
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: georgia they're gonna If alabama doesn't win THE, Sec georgia
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: is going to be eleven to one without playing in
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: THE Sec championship and getting a bye, week so they're
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: practically only going to play fifteen.
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: Games they're going to be the most healthy team in the.
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: PLAYOFF i Know Ohio state's playing less snaps than, anybody
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: but they're going to be the most healthy team in the.
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: Playoff AND i am scared to Play. Georgia SO i,
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: guess how do you feel about? That, well it's. Certain,
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: yeah it's definitely a flaw in the. SYSTEM i think.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: THAT i, mean there's a huge flaw in the system
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: right off the rip when you can make it to
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: the conference championship and if you, lose, well now you
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: need to play seventeen. Games, yeah but you made it
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: to the conference championship and the guy that didn't he's
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: only got a sixteen game. Road so that was a
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: flaw that was built in right off the. Rip then
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: you got that flaw that albeit it's not something that
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: would happen, often but you know it's there right there this,
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: year in year number, two and it looks like it
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: could very easily. Happen but as far As georgia, GOES
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: i THINK i was just talking about this. Yesterday to,
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: ME i was talking On twitter right, NOW i think
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: that this Is Ohio state as As team ONE a
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: And georgia As team ONE b is the two best
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: teams right. Now the way they have not only were
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: resilient enough to get through all those, games those one score,
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: games they won. Them all that. BUILDS i mean we've
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: seen that As Ohio state. Fans how how much camaraderie
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: and confidence that. Builds and in addition to, that you
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: Got Gunner, stockton who's really coming around like he's turning
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: Into like if he was playing like this to start the,
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: year he'd be right up there in The heisman. Conversation
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: he already, is but not quite as not quite as
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: close as As Marcel reid And mendoz And Julian But
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: i'm you, know their defense not as good as it
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: used to, be but people are pretending like it's a bad.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: Defense there's still the twentieth rank defense in the. Country,
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: yeah they don't get, sacks they don't you, know they
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: don't have the flashy uh numbers in the flashy big
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: men that they usually. Do but you, know it's always
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: gonna be well. Coached, offensively they look so much more
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: dangerous than they ever have And i'm gonna tell you the, truth, Though,
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: TRENT i want, Them that's WHO i. Want, YEAH i,
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: LIKE i. DON'T i don't want to get through this
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: playoffs without facing. Them and this is kind of HOW
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: i felt last year When Ohio state lost the. GAME
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: i Wanted Ohio state to have the very, most the
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: most difficult draw they could, have BECAUSE i didn't want
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: anybody to be able to say word boo about. It
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: and they got the most difficult draw and they got through.
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: It and now this, year you, Know i've been on
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: if you listen to, me LIKE i want the passing
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: of the. TORCH i want it to be complete Because
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: georgia has been that it team for a couple of,
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: years and since like twenty twenty, one they've been the.
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: Team they've been kind of the standard bearer of college.
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: Football buckeyes win last, year should have beat them in twenty.
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: Two if they can go through them this, year, yeah
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: knock them out this. Year it's. Official Ohio state is
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: the number one unequivocal program in the. Country SO i want.
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: HIM i think The buckeyes can beat, him AND i
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: think it'll be an amazing. Game everybody's gonna want to see,
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: that BECAUSE i do Think georgia is about to continue
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: this hot streak.
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: Here, yeah AND i hope we get to The Big
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: ten title because that was My christmas, gets was getting
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: tickets for that, game AND i don't want to have
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: to sell, them so hopefully we get. There but, yeah
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: another QUESTION i had BEFORE i got, YOU i want
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: TO i want to keep you for too. Long so
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: my dad just turned, forty so he grew up with
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: The Lake cooper era and the trestle, era and constantly
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: this year when we are watching Our Ohio state, games
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: it is constant complaining and, whining how how this looks
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: like trestle, ball and how it's super.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: Slow BUT i WAS i was.
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: Talking to him like a week, ago AND i was
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: talking about How julian saying about how ACCURATE i thought
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: he was one of the better quarterbacks we've had in
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: the last twenty. Years and he made a comment he,
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: said you, know he really reminded me Of Craig Crimsle
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: AND i, said there is no way you just Put
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: Julian sayd in the same conversation As Craig. Crinsle AND
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: i guess he was talking about How Craig crimsle is
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: he was. On he can never do no.
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: Wrong he was just.
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: So he maybe not been the most, explosive but he
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: was just. Perfect he could always read, defenses he was.
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: Super he never made. Mistakes he would never have like
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: a two to three interception. Game AND i, SAID i
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: Think Will howard is more Like Craig crimsle Than Julian
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: Sand and then he, said, No Will howard is more
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: of a playmaker Than Julian sand And Justin fields and
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: all these other.
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: Guys i'm, LIKE i don't.
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: KNOW i don't know what you're talking, about but that
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: that seems crazy to. Me but, YEAH i was born
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: in two thousand and, eight SO i never got to
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: Watch Craig.
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: CRINSLE i, guess how do You how do you feel
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: About Craig. Crimsle so if your dad is, forty then
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: he was just ABOUT i don't, know sixteen, seventeen When
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: Craig crinsel was playing straight up. Bro he Misremembers Craig.
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: Crinsle he, misremembers but that's, okay because you, know he
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: brought us a national championship and and because of that
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: he has fond. Memories Craig krenzel was a very frustrating
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: quarterback BECAUSE i felt he was more like, McCord more
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: like McCord than. Anybody wasn't even anywhere near that good
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: of an arm not like McCord would smoke, Him like
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: if we were, TO i, MEAN i don't want to
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: look up the. Numbers it'd be. Embarrassing but, No crenzell was.
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: NOT i, mean he came up clutch. Man he won
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: a national, championship but he was a bit of a,
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: gamer and he certainly was more like if you you,
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: know you would definitely describe him as more Like Will.
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: Howard you, know he would run the ball quite a.
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: Bit he was a pretty decent, runner pretty decent. Athlete.
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: Uh the biggest compliment any announcer ever said About Craig
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: krenzell was that he was From michigan and he was
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: a molecular engineering student across the line like. That, yeah
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: he wasn't a he wasn't a good. Quarterback, yeah but
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: he was a good buck. Guy. YEAH i GOT i think,

• 59:25
  Speaker 5: Soon, okay, right number number, Two let's say coach day
• 59:33
  Speaker 5: avengs all of our past few year qualms with him
• 59:37
  Speaker 5: during the, game Smashes, michigan and then runs through the
• 59:41
  Speaker 5: playoffs and goes back to Back Natty champs two years
• 59:44
  Speaker 5: in a. Row, yeah he then decides to go off
• 59:47
  Speaker 5: to THE. Nfl who do you hire to replace? Him?
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: Oh my? Goodness you, Know so with all this talk
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: of hiring coaches, RECENTLY i personally like that there are
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: so many people who, feel you, know you need a
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: sitting head, coach a guy who has done it, before et.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: Cetera and when we look at the successful coaches in college,
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: football like so many of them were not head coaches,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: first and that like that's the first. Thing the second
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: thing IS i know that you can get just about
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: anybody At Ohio state. BEFORE i don't know if it's
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: so easy now because, now like even when we look
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: to talk about The Lane kiffin, situation he's probably gonna
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: end up Leaving Old, Miss but really does he need
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: to Leave Old miss to reach all his? Goals he doesn't,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: Anymore like so many schools where you can actually win
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: a national championship where they support. You like even if
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: you you look At joey McGuire At Texas, tech do
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: you think he'd leave, anywhere would leave to go anywhere right?
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: Now like he's At Texas tech and he'd probably stay.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: THERE i don't think anybody he could lure them, away
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: because you can just buy your way to having everything
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: that you need to be able to go. Compete but
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: when you talk about hiring a, coach to, me it
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: is so much more about the. Man it's so much
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: more About like IF i could sit across from you
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: and you can check all these boxes as a competent,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: individual AND i know that people will follow, you LIKE
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: i feel so good about. It, honestly as we watched
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: day step in For, URBAN i don't know THAT i
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: would feel uncomfortable at all moving from that. Direction To James,
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: laurnidis it ain't gonna be, Heartline it's larnitis.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 5: From, Okay LOOK i Have.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: James. Laurnidis when you are around this, guy it is
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: LIKE i can't even describe. It, man there's a different
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: energy when anybody is. Around it's just like people are
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: in awe of this. Dude and it's not because he's obviously,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: physically but he's just a different kind of of. Magnetism
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: he's number. One he's, brilliant he's super, smart he can
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: work anybody in a. Conversation he's got it. ALL i,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: mean he's got it. All guys want to follow. Him
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: heart on the other, hand very similar in a lot of.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: Ways but just to, me they both want to be head.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: COACHES i know that for a. FACT i feel Like
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: heart would. Be people would say, he's you, know next,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: up because he's been doing it. Longer BUT i think
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: there's gonna be one that's gonna be, better AND i
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: think it's gonna Be. James and to, me that's a
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: can't miss right. There it's a can't not you can't
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: it's can't miss right, there you can't.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 5: Miss So i'll just say it's. Funny what was it
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 5: a few years?
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 4: Ago the rumor was they didn't even have the faith
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 4: In James lernidis to give him the linebacker, position, right
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 4: so linebacker, coach excuse, Me so he's really climbed the.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 4: Ranks And i'll say he did turn around the linebacker
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 4: room in just a few.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 5: Years so, Yeah i'm not really hating on your.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: IDEA i think that was MORE i think that was
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: more about there was a conversation about can we potentially
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: bring in can we Keep james around for one more
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: year under this role and bring in a second defensive
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: line coach who is a big name kind of defensive line,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: coach but you couldn't bring a guy like that wouldn't
• 1:03:34
