Spatula suspects | Rat poison repellant Nov 06, 2025

Show notes

Upheaval has taken root at several college football programs. Not Ohio State. What does that mean? It means your Buckeyes are here to deal with upheaval effects - specifically recruits committed elsewhere that now have a potentially new take on their future.

It's spatula season, 'Nutters! It came early this year based on all the coaching tomfoolery but hey, who are we to complain?

Garrick Hodge and Mark Porter are here to flip it up. Who are the targets and what are the chances they tumble into Ohio State's recruiting class?

We dive deep.

We also hit the film room to break down Ohio State's victory over Penn State and try and put in perspective the voluminous and seemingly unprecedented level of praise heaped on the good guys these days.

Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!
