• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome to buck Eyes tomorrow morning for Friday, July twenty sixth.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I'm your host, Tom or the Akron game in thirty
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: six days, the game against Michigan in one hundred and
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: twenty seven days. Day three of Big ten Media Days
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: and twenty twenty four Big Ten Media Days on the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: whole have now ended, and did with an interview with
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Dan Lanning that got cut a little bit short for
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know reasons whatever, but the third day of
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Big to Media Days. So the two teams I think
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: that Ohio State fans would be most interested in talking
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: about there are Trival Michigan, of course, and the Oregon Ducks,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: who could very well be part of a one versus
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: two or two versus three game with the Buckeyes coming
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: up in October. Tony, let's start with Michigan. The You know,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: everyone is always trying very hard to say nothing that
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: is interesting, to make no news when they are here.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Someone asked McCarry page.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I think it might have been Bill verbin Witz of
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the Columbus Dispatch asked paccarry Page, When I say the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: words Ohio.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: State to you, what do you think?
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: And McCary page had, I mean a factual but also
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: interesting answer.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: What do you say a dub a dub win.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Win and then rivalry?
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Of course?
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Was it very short answer, and it's like, yeah, that
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: was a you know that that's a little zestier than
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: you typically get. Yeah, And when you're answering a question
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: at Big tim media is this is not, you know,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the single greatest insult in the history of college football.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: But it was like, you know that, that seems like
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: that's how Michigan thinks.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: Of the rival right, Well, I mean McCarry page is
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: now what a senior has never lost to Ohio State.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: So if he were to give you a Wikipedia answer,
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: the Ohio State game for him has meant a win
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: every time.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: That's the definition.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: So yeah, but it is always interesting to see who
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: is going to speak out like that, Who is going
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: to give a comment that will catch a little bit
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: of fire on Twitter or something, just whether for good,
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: for good or for bad, better for one fan base
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: or the other. And it's not like we're hoping this
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: happens helping somebody says something, but it does make things
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: a little bit more interesting.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: It does make things a little more interesting.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: And then you get the let me just I'm gonna
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: just do the preskin the magnificent. One fan base is
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: going to say that this is offensive and disrespectful. The
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: other one is going to say that the other fan
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: base is being soft. And Charman and co parter Cope
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: perhaps suggested the co parter living rent free almost certainly, Tony, almost.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Certainly, it's rent free right now, right now? Yes so yes,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: so that's in this economy. Boy.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's that was one of the interestings we
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: heard from McCary page. There was a lot of talk
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: about Ohio States from the Michigan players, and that's because
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: there were a lot of what was level Ohio step
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: media here asking about them. One of the things that
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: people were asked about was playing three times, the possibility
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that the Ohio State Michigan game could be played two
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: weeks in a row, that it could be played actually
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: two to three times, and you know, a lot of
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the players, Jonovan Edwards talked about it and was kind
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: of you know, like who's on the schedule. There's a
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: lot of that kind of stuff. But Charon Moore said,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you know, he had a more interesting answer.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: I think the answer was love it, Yes, let's do it,
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: and that was towards the end of the session. He
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: knew things were wrapping up, but clearly he doesn't mind
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: doing it. I don't know if Brian Day had that
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: same question or if he's had it before. Generally he's like,
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: you know, we'll play whatever and we'll do whatever. Body,
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: you know, Charon Moore ad some enthusiasm behind it, and
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: yet you know, this is the kind of message you
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: want to convey to your team, to your program, that's
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: kind of how you want to live it. So it
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: wasn't it wasn't sur surprising. But again, it's one of
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: those things where I immediately tweeted it out, you know,
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: because you're looking to it's you're looking for something you
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: gotta bite, you got a nibble. You put it out
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: there to see us see what people think of it.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: But I thought it was an it's a good answer,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: it's an interesting answer. That's one of the those things
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: where it's like, well, you know, we'll see what happens.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: It's that those are boring and plointless. We're all going
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: to see what happens. We're going to see what happens
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: about everything. But you don't always say love it, Yes,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: let's do it.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we got it.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: We got a lot more of the well, I'm not
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: that's not worth putting on Twitter this week. Yes, but
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: there was plenty of interesting stuff and a lot of
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the answers from Michigan players about Ohio State and coaches
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: about Ohio State were interesting. Sean Moore was asked about
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Tony Alford and you know, the decision to make that move.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Talked about Tony Alfred's history as a recruiter and a
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: developer and you know, great history at Notre Dame in
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Ohio State, and so you know that He was asked
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: that once on the stage during the morning press conference
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and then once.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Off the stage and a smaller breakout session later.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: He was also talked about, you know, I remember a
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: couple of years ago Ohio State players talking about how
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: they think about the what rivalry they worked the rivalry
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: every day. That's that was an Urban Meyer thing. That
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: was a you know, that Brian Day thing. I don't
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: know that we heard a lot about that.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: The question.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: You know, the questions were not necessarily set up that way,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: but now it's interesting to hear Jaron Moore talking about
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the rivalry that way.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he said, they think about it twenty four seven,
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: three sixty five.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: And is it.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: You're you're always thinking about it or talking about it.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: But when you're losing it and you say that, is
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: it some desperation? When you're winning it and you're saying it,
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: it's a it's a confidence. But clearly they're winning right
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: now and that is something they talk about they think about.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: When when they say that and when Ohio State says it,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: is it mentioned every day or how much of this
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: is just implied like you know, you're not you're not
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: ignoring it. It's in the being in the back of
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: your mind. Does that count as I mentioned, does that
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: kind as a thought?
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I think it was one of the national reporters who
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: an Ohio State player was talking about it, and you know,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: said like, we're you know, we're not living and dying
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: with the you knowast year's game every day. And then
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the reporter said, you know, I've been in the facility
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: you countdown. Well, yeah, okay, so maybe you do think
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: about it every day. So I mean, it is it
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: is very front of mind in that in that weight room,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: in that murals and you see the murals yep.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: And Michigan.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: We have seen in their facility there's a huge beat
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Ohio State.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Or Beato Ohio Beat or something like that mural on
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: the wall.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: And you know, so this is you know, as much
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: as as much as the conversation has been. Oh the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: rivalry is gonna lessoned, it's gonna be lessened. It doesn't
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: feel like it's going to.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Be less And I don't think whoever pays attention to
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: it more thinks about it more means you're gonna win it,
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: because you still comes downtime. I don't know if you
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: know this or not. It comes down to the line
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: of scrimmage and doing things. And I don't necessarily what
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: happens in the may third in the weight room thinking
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: about Ohio State or heading to a meeting. I think
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: they all think, think about this. They're only they have
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: the same number of days, they have the same number
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: of hours. Clearly it's super important to all of them.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: I don't know that you can give the edge to
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: one or the other based on who is thinking about it.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: More still comes down to the execution, and Michigan has
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: executed better down the Stritch, especially in the fourth quarter
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: of the last.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Three years, and this was something that you know, obviously
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: this is a new year. This was definitely a new
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: year for the experience of talking to the Michigan coach
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: at Big Ten media days. For years, Jim Harball was
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: always you know, everyone talks about how Jim Harwall is
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: so unique and no one can be quite like Jim Harball.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Well Sherean Moore is trying to keep some continuity in
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the program and he's trying to sort of do the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: same stuff that he that Jim Harball did. He is
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: definitely not Jim Harball. He is a much more personable guy.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: He's you know, what were your thoughts just on This
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: is the first time we really get a chance to
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: talk to him for an extended period.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: With Jim Harball, you never know which Jim Harball you
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: were going to get, whether it's going to be. I'm like,
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: before the winning streak, it was very a lot of
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: times it's uncomfortable talking to him, very dour and stilted
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: in the way he would speak. Then they start winning
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: and he's he's in a better mood, still sometimes stilted,
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: sometimes you know, lost in thought, quiet while he's thinking
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: what he wants to say, and then he comes up
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: with some story from his dad from the farm or wherever.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: But this with Sean Moore, it's somebody asked him, hey,
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: you know, Jim Harball as a recruiter would climb a tree,
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: would take a shirt off, Like what is your Jim
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Harbaugh type of thing with recruiting. He's like, well, just
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: get to know the kids, you know, I get to
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: know how how they tick and and how I tick,
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: and build a relationship there.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: That's that's how I do it. Everybody does it their
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: own way.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: But this is I'm not going to be necessarily no sleepovers,
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: no climbing trees, and really he's very personable guy. And
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: someone say, you have to really get to know Jim
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Harboff for that to take effect. I don't think you
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: really have to know Sharon Moore. I think it's a
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: pretty personable guy.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: You can see Sharon Moore in the living room on
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: recruiting visits, probably on shirt on, yes, probably playing pretty well.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Uh, you know, with with mom and dad and and
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: all of that.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: And he has some early success to sell uh on
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: those recruiting trips. So you know, we will see how
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: so much success they have this year there are a
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: lot of questions about boy, you're replacing this guy.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Boy, you're replacing that guy. Boy, you've got a quarterback.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Battle, and you know you've got five guys in there,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: and there's no no update on that. He said, you know,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: as soon as we know. You guys will know as
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: soon as we know. And then he paused and then
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: said he paused just long enough for me to hit
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: stop on the video, and then he said maybe it
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: was well, that would have been good. But so yeah,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: we will see how successful Michigan is this year. I
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: have very little doubt on how successful organ is going
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: to be. Oregon comes in maybe the only team that
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: can go really kind of toe to toe with Ohio
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: State talent wise this year. This is the first chance
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: we've gotten to talk to Landing in person. Talked to
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel in person. Very impressed with Dylan Gabriel. I
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: don't know if you've got the chance to talk to
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: him at all.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: I did not get over there for a little bit
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: with Lanning, but yeah, yeah.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: So Dylan Gabriel talked a bunch about his recruitment. There
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: was a ton of Ohio State reporters over there talking
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: to him. So there are a lot of Ohio State
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: centric questions. And he was asked about his recruitment while
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: he was in the transfer portal, and you know, you
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: obviously had talked to Ohio State, you know, didn't go
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: into he I don't think people want to go into
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of detail about talking about why they
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: didn't go somewhere, but just you know, talked about the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: fact that Ohio State, you know, he talked to Ryan
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Day some kind of got some you know, got some
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: update on that Ohio State was you know, maybe not
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: in as much of a hurry to make a decision
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: on a transfer copsquarterback. And and I think by the
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: time Dylan Gabriel, he basically made it sound like when
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: he talked to Dan Landing, it was kind of like, oh, yeah,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: this is yeah, this is this is where I want
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: to go.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: And the Oregan.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Program and the track record of development and all that
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff that was that was it sounded like
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: a very easy decision for Dylan Gabriel. He also was
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: asked about the you know, the game and obviously it's
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: going to be a big game, but has to he
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: has to give the correct answer, which is, well, there's
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: lots of games before that, and we have to deal
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: about them.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: We can't focus on the Dayada Yadam.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: There's only a few games.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so but he has to focus on that. So
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: so that is that is what he has to do.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: He is a very mature guy, which is not surprising
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: considering he's been in college for six at least years
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: and on his third school. But you know, he could
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: get some interesting and thoughtful answers to him. So that
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: was That was an interesting conversation as you can see there.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: So you can take down the banners behind us, you
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: can tell, you can tell big ten media days in fact,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: are wrapping up right now.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: There were a couple other couple other coaches that talk today,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: who are teams that talk today that I was not
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: anticipating that we were going to be talking about Indiana
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: football in this show. It was like, well, it's Michigan
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: in Oregon day, so we're just talking about Michigan in Oregon.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Kurt Signetti, you know, you talk about winning the press conference,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: and there is some question as to how much that
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: really matters, but I would say Kurt Signetti certainly won
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: the press conference today.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Well, I think it matters in this nil era and
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: this grounds well of hey give us money era. But
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: he's he's got some carnival barker to him, and he
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: acknowledges that he kept said it on stage, he said
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: it in his breakout session, that this is this is entertainment.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: It's it's still entertainment, you know, And he recognizes that
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: I had some great lines talking about playing in the
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Rose Bowl and he's like, yeah, it's it's it's great,
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: but for all the wrong reasons, and that we're just
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: going to an old stadium to beat the you know,
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: the heck out of somebody. And then he's like, but
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: know not not this doesn't that's not specific to.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: U c l A.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: That's just the attitude we're gonna have all season long.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Said that Indiana has everything that they need and the
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: revenue share is going to it's it's a game changer,
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: and so I asked him, all, how is it going?
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: What part of the game is it going to change? Like, well,
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: we'll have to see.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, yeah.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: The game done change. That's all you need to know.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Sorry, sorry he was He was also during I think
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: it was during the press conference that was on the
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: televised portion of the press conference. He was talking about,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: you know what what is successful, like what are your goals?
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: And he said, you know, no one, no one should
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: be saying, well, you know we can win four games.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, if we can get to a bowl, boy, that
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: would be a great. Boy.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: If if we don't lose ten games this year, And
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: he said, uh, I'm going to paraphrase to Tim Tony
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to say that's horse hockey.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he said that a couple of times and he
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: meant it. I asked him, does the expanded playoffs change
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: you're at tutor, change how you prepare it to?
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: No?
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Like there. He's very.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: As we've talked about him in the past, He's a
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: guy that says, if you don't know me, google me,
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: because I've been. I've been their success everywhere. I've been
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: talked about how twice in his career his team was
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: picked to finish second, second to last. The first time
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: was like twenty seventeen, and they ended up winning the conference.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: The second time was twenty nineteen and they played for
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: the conference title.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: He talked about.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: Rivalries and how in the Sun Belt, once Coastal Carolina
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: started getting good they made them the rivals for James Madison,
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: that's where he came from, and like two years and
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: like and we beat their blanks and I think he
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: gave the scores of each one.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: So he's a very confident guy.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: And I know Indiana fans love this right now, but
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: you still have to win. I think Curtis work quarterback,
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: he's he's a veteran. I think you've done a good
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: job there and just bringing in some veteran players. He
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: did say with a transfer portal, I had to bring
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: a ton of guys in because everybody left basically when
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: he came in. He said, it's more valuable to bring
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: in guys from wherever when they have experience, and that's
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: why he's got some James Madison guys. But they've got
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: years of starting of experience. He said, that's more valuable
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: than bringing in somebody from a bigger school that was
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: a thirteenth because they haven't played. And so he's got
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: a bunch of veteran guys on this team. But still Indiana.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: It is still Indiana, but it is definitely you know,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: if I feel like just I question the utility of
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: making a decision based on this, but I feel like
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I'm walking out of here thinking I bet Indiana p's
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: PNEU this year, and I did not necessarily think that
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: coming in. I don't know that I really had a
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: strong opinion on the Old Oaken Bucket rivalry because that
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: is the seventeenth and eighteenth eighteenth place game teams in the.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Conference media poll.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: But you know, it just it feels like he's talking
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: like he's going to do it, and he's done it
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: in other places before, and it's just kind of you know.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: And they also benefit from getting out of the Big
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Ten East. That is, they don't have Ohio State, or
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: they do have a high State on the schedule, but
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think they played State. Yeah, so they are
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: a team that will probably benefit quite a bit from that,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: as we have talked about with Rutgers and Maryland at
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: various points in the past as well. Last thing, Minnesota
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: has a quarterback, a new transfer quarterback. Their old quarterback,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Athan Kelly Acmanis is playing for the Rutgers Karlet Knights now,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: so they had to bring in a new transfer quarterback
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: and he has not only ties to Ohio State, but
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: also ties to Brian Day's alma Mon.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Max Brosmer, the quarterback at New Hampshire last year
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: and the second team All American last year in New Hampshire,
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: was a Walter Payton Award finalist as the FCS Player
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: of the Year. Of course, Brian they played at New Hampshire,
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: and so who is the best New Hampshire quarterback between them?
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: Brozemer didn't say either one of them. He gave the
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: actual answer like the actual record holder at the school
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: and sided with that, but clearly aware of Brian.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Day, say the Lion Bart, come on, you're supposed to
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: say you're better than Ryan Day exactly.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: Well, maybe we should have saved that for a shrewan more.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: But also Brosner's dad played club foot club volleyball at
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: Ohio State, so he grew up a Buckeye fan and
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: very familiar with Ohio State as well.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: So it's just there are so many ties.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: It's interesting, like last year talking to Hudson card per
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: new quarterback about playing with Garrett Wilson in high school,
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: Like there are a lot of true lines with all
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: of these guys. If you just you know, you look
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: a little bit and you talk to him, sometimes they're
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: very open. Sometimes it's like you know that was a
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: long time ago.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you get the people who want to talk and
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: the people who don't want.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: To talk, so and why don't they bring the people
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: who don't want to talk to media days?
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Sometimes they're the head coach of organ That's why it
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: was a very very interesting three days here, great lay
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: to kick off the season.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: We have.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: We always come home from this feeling like, Wow, we've
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: put out so much content and there's so much more
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: stuff that we have u that we can still put
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: out over the next week or so.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: And then all practice starts.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: All practice starts next Thursday, uh, August first, with four
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: open practices. We are allegedly probably maybe going to get
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: to see all four of them. We will see, uh
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: if you would like to see them, there are tickets available.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Uh those those tickets are still available apparently updated email.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: So there some there's some things that are sold out,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: but some things that are.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Not fifty bucks apiece to come watch come watch an
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Ohio State practice.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: So we will probably be there.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: We're hoping they have not. I think we've been all
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: but told that we will be there. So the uh,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: you know, this is big to me. Dy days being
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: in the rearview mirror. Now it feels it's starting to
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: feel real.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: We are.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: We are now uh seven weeks and one day away
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: from the start of the Ohio State football season, So
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: we're getting getting there. Archie Griffin will be dotting the
• 18:55
