'My enemy is a varmint' | OSU commit on flip watch? | Texas target time? Oct 02, 2025

Show notes

Should we heed the direction of Bushwood Country Club manager Sandy MacReady?: "I want you to kill every gopher on the course!"

That's a tad harsh, but your Buckeyes aim to treat the Minnesota Golden Gophers like Carl Spackler did. It's a night game at The Shoe. The weather is going to be sweet. Recruits are headed to town.

Who better to get you ready for such a weekend? Garrick Hodge and Mark Porter would be the duo to choose and whaddya know ... they're here!

Offense could be unleashed vs Minnesota | Buckeyes' O-line playing at elite level Oct 01, 2025

Show notes

Ohio State has been impressive overall through the first four games of the season, but there is the feeling that the offense has been holding some things back. Will the Buckeyes open things up against visiting Minnesota this Saturday night? The Golden Gophers are 3-1, but gave up 27 points in a loss at Cal and gave up 28 points in a win over Rutgers. Therefore, this could be an opportunity to cut quarterback Julian Sayin loose and attack deep down the field on a more regular basis.

Also, how about this OSU offensive line? It is somehow not getting enough attention. We are doing our small part to change that.

That and much more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

Are there obvious flip candidates from programs that have already fired their head coach?

Those are (only a few of) the hard-hitting questions our Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter tackled on today's show.
