Ohio State fans are sad that their team is not playing for a Big Ten championship this weekend. No game means Buckeye Talk also missed out on one of its time-honored traditions -- our annual cutthroat draft to divvy up the postgame interviews in the victorious locker room. Nathan, Doug and Stephen use that draft as a way to talk about the most interesting players on the team as bowl season and the transition to the offseason begin.

Ohio State's greatest wins in The Game, and Michigan's greatest villains Nov 23, 2021

Show notes

On this Tuesday Buckeye Talk, Mount Buckmore is back for Ohio State-Michigan week. Rather than ranking the top four players from Ohio State history, Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird, Stephen Means and the texters are ranking top fours from the Ohio State-Michigan game.

First up are the greatest Ohio State wins in the rivalry, from 2006 to 1987 to 1968 to 2016 to 2002 to 2018 and more.

Next up -- the greatest Michigan villains. These are the players and coaches for the Wolverines who either dealt the Buckeyes tough losses or just annoyed fans. The big question -- does Jim Harbaugh belong on the Mount Buckmore of Michigan villains?

Also, the podcast starts off with a discussion of how Michigan fans might feel about Ryan Day -- how much would they view him as a major OSU villain?
