Friday night plights? | Mookie Cooper getting raw deal? Oct 16, 2019

Show notes

What are thoughts on Ohio State playing a rare Friday night game?

The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, joins Dave Biddle to give his strong thoughts on that topic on today's show, plus:

* Northwestern is usually a tough team to play against, but this year the Wildcats don't have a quarterback who is playing well. Do they really have much of a chance of hanging with the Buckeyes?

* Who is the best team remaining on OSU's schedule?

* Thoughts on Mookie Cooper being ineligible for his senior season of high school and whether that might be a blessing in disguise.

All of that and more is coming at you on the Wednesday extravaganza.

Ryan's hope | 'Don't reach' | Purdue redux? Oct 15, 2019

Show notes

Ohio State had the weekend off. Sort of. There was no game. But there was a big win.

The Buckeyes went into Texas once again for a big commitment: defensive back Ryan Watts from Deep Elm.

Duane Long is here and he is excited. We go in depth on what the addition of Watts means for the Buckeyes.

Also: Could Ohio State actually pass on adding a running back altogether in the Class of 2020? It's possible. Duane shares his viewpoint on how Ohio State should proceed from here.

Then we had to get into this Friday night's date with Northwestern. Is the possibility for another Purdueish debacle present?

All of that is coming at you on the Tuesday extravaganza.

Watts up | OSU fresh off bye, preparing for Northwestern Oct 14, 2019

Show notes

Ohio State was off this past week, but returns to action in Evanston, Ill., against Northwestern on Friday (8:30 p.m. ET; FS1).

What are thoughts on the clash between the Buckeyes and Wildcats, who last met in the 2018 Big Ten Championship game?

Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle to discuss that, plus:

* The Buckeyes' 2020 excellent recruiting class got even better on Sunday when Ryan Day, Jeff Hafley and Co. landed four-star cornerback Ryan Watts.

* Junior middle linebackers Baron Browning and Tuf Borland are splitting snaps to a certain degree. Is it time for Browning to play even more than he has?

* Despite being a first-year head coach (not counting his three games last year) Day certainly seems to check all the boxes. Or is it too early to proclaim that?

All of that and more is coming at you on the Monday extravaganza.

Which ones?

We also welcome in Matt Baxendell for his take on how yesterday's on-field action affects Ohio State's outlook.

Long view on Sparty, QBs, RBs and Bosa love Oct 08, 2019

Show notes

Yes, it's a good time to be a Buckeye.

Is there ever a bad time? Of course not, but let's not digress this early.

It's good to be a Buckeye currently because Ohio State is undefeated, among the nation's elite and coming off a recruiting weekend certain to aid future efforts. Also, a certain Buckeye took control of the national sports stage Monday night and showed his Ohio State allegiance all at once.

Duane Long is here in his standard Tuesday spot to discuss:

* Now a few days later, Duane puts the win over Sparty in perspective

* Running back recruiting: The hell?

* C.J. Stroud: Signal called?

Bucknuts Almost Live: Big test passed Oct 06, 2019

Stakes were high. National eyes were upon the Buckeyes.

How did they really do?

What did we learn about Ohio State in its stiffest test yet?

It took almost an hour and three experts - Bill Kurelic, Matt Baxendell and Pat Murphy - to properly put the big W in perspective.
