Day After Deconstruction Jan 12, 2021

Show notes

Ohio State made it to the mountaintop. Unfortunately, Alabama was already there.

Devonta Smith keyed an offensive avalanche that buried the Buckeyes in a 52-24 title game win on Monday in Miami.

How are we processing the end of what can only be described as a WHACKY five-month or so ride since the season was canceled? Wait ... what?

Duane Long is here to offer his postmortem on both the game and season before we take a peek at the massive personnel changes ahead in '21.

Dave & Dan's Championship Preview Jan 11, 2021

Show notes

The day has come. Back in August when the B1G braintrust canceled the season this was not even a dream. But it has become a reality.

Ohio State meets Alabama tonight in the CFP National Championship. After slaying one demon in Dabo and Co., the Buckeyes are in Miami to face off against the top-ranked and (heavily) favored Crimson Tide.

Should Ohio State even show up? Do they belong on the same field as the vaunted Fighting Sabans?

Yes ... yes, they do.

Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin break it all down for you as time stands still for about another 10 hours or so.

National Championship Game Preview Edition Jan 08, 2021

Show notes

All right, it's not the morning. But the Big *Ten* has 14 teams in it, so we're not going to get too caught up on details. Well, unless those details include thoughts on Ohio State-Alabama in the CFP National Championship Game. We have plenty of those.

Our Patrick Murphy joined Trey Scott from 247Sports and Charlie Potter from BamaOnline for a special podcast that breaks down what you need to know about the Buckeyes and Crimson Tide facing off for all the marbles in Miami.

'This is a bad matchup for ... Alabama' Jan 08, 2021

Show notes

Alabama is an 8-point favorite, Ohio State might be without players due to COVID-19, and therefore the Crimson Tide have the obvious edge over the Buckeyes in the national championship game, right? Not if you ask our Jonah Booker.

JBook joins Dave Biddle on the Friday 5ish to discuss the matchup with Bama, thoughts on Justin Fields' status for the game and much more.

Show notes

Admit it: In your wildest Buckeye dreams you didn't think it would go that well.

It did.

Ohio State hammered Clemson, 49-28, in New Orleans on Friday night. Yes, the Sugar Bowl was teeth-achingly sweet, indeed. Justin Fields anchored a performance for the ages and the Buckeyes move on to face Alabama for the College Football Playoff national title.

But this morning is about basking. It's about making Kerry Coombs confetti angels. Dave Biddle and The People's Champ - Matt Baxendell - are here to gloat .. err ... break it all down.
