Drafting the best players, coaches and traditions -- the Untouchables of Ohio State football Jun 09, 2021

Show notes

On this episode of Buckeye Talk, it’s time for another draft, and this one combines a little bit of everything.

Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means draft eight rounds of Ohio State Untouchables. The parameters -- take one recruit from the Class of 2022; one player each from the Class of 2021, Class of 2020, Class of 2019 and Class of 2018/17; one current assistant coach; one Ohio State tradition; and one wild card.

So in the same draft are Garrett Wilson, Larry Johnson, Quinn Ewers and Hang on Sloopy. There is some cutthroat drafting going on here -- so think about who or what you would take No. 1, then prepare for one of the most fun drafts on Buckeye Talk yet.

Could Braxton Miller have been an NFL QB that was some version of Lamar Jackson? Jun 01, 2021

Show notes

On this Buckeye Talk, Doug Lesmerises welcomes a special guest to talk about one of the most dynamic players in Ohio State football history.

Beau Bishop, veteran of radio and TV in Columbus and Cleveland, and current host for 97.1 The Fan in Columbus, joins Doug to discuss Braxton Miller and what might have happened if he hadn’t injured his shoulder in the Orange Bowl at the end of the 2013 season and if he had remained a quarterback.
