What if Ohio State hadn't hired Ryan Day to replace Urban Meyer? A Buckeyefly Effect Mar 10, 2021

Show notes

Trying something new here on Buckeye Talk, as suggested by a text subscriber. It's time to dive into changing one decision in Ohio State history, and figuring out what would have happened. We're calling it Buckeyefly Effect (like Butterfly Effect) and we're starting with Ryan Day. What if the Buckeyes had not hired Day to replace Urban Meyer when Meyer resigned in December 2018? Who would the Buckeyes have hired instead? What would have happened to the program? And what would have happened to Day?

That's what Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means discussed on this episode, with great insight offered by texters, and survey results explaining how fans have adapted to the Day era and what they would think if it had never happened.

It's a great discussion of what could have happened that tells you a lot about what did happen. Thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk from cleveland.com.

Zach Harrison? Josh Proctor? Teradja Mitchell? OSU defenders who can raise their games this season Mar 09, 2021

Show notes

This is the second part of the Buckeye Talk that dropped on Saturday. That one dealt with the top five offensive players that need to raise their games for the 2021 season. Now Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means dive into the same question on the defensive side, with five Buckeyes who need to raise their games, and it gets a lot more complicated. With fewer sure things on defense, there are at least 10 candidates for this discussion and they've present at every position. So where do players like linebacker Teradja Mitchell, defensive tackle Taron Vincent and cornerback Cam Brown fit in this discussion?

Doug, Nathan and Stephen break it all down. Thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk from cleveland.com.

Show notes

For this weekend Buckeye Talk episode, Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird, Stephen Means and the Ohio State text subscribers ranked the players that Ohio State most needs to raise their games on offense in the 2021 season. It could be a jump from average to good, from good to great or from great to the best in the country. But who would make the biggest difference? The guys agree on some players and disagree on others, so listen in, and then come back for the Tuesday podcast as they'll do the same thing on the defensive side of the ball.

Threat Level Buckeye Talk: Which Big Ten teams are the greatest threats to Ohio State football? Mar 03, 2021

Show notes

On this big Wednesday Buckeye Talk from cleveland.com, Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means tackle two questions with the help of the OSU texters: Which Big Ten teams are the greatest short-team threats to the Buckeyes, and which Big Ten teams are the greatest long-term threats to the Buckeyes?

Doug, Nathan, Stephen and the texters rank the other 13 Big Ten teams in both categories, and that leads to interesting debates about the futures and ceiling of teams like Michigan, Penn State, Northwestern, Minnesota, Illinois and Maryland.

With a change in the weather and a change in the calendar to March, it was time for Buckeye Talk to dive in headfirst to spring football discussions. Our text subscribers sent us their No. 1 question for the spring and we compiled them into a top 10 list. Obviously a lot of people wanted to discuss the quarterback competition and structural changes in the secondary. But we also delved into defensive back development, what happens at Sam linebacker, where the next defensive line breakthrough may come from and more.

Which teams besides Alabama and Clemson should Ohio State fans worry about in 2021? Feb 27, 2021

Show notes

The top three programs in college football are not in dispute as the offseason ramps up into spring practices. However, could there be another team lurking in the weeds as LSU did in 2019, ready to spoil the party and make a run at "Super Team" status? Doug, Nathan and Stephen give their criteria on what attributes such teams need to have, and which programs seem poised for a peak in 2021.

Also, they discuss the changes to Ohio State's season tickets and giving policy and what that could mean for fans and the athletic department.
