Ohio State-Washington predictions | What gives us most confidence? Sep 26, 2025

Show notes

Ohio State heads on the road for the first time this season and the Buckeyes will be facing a very good team in a hostile environment. Washington might be the most underrated team in the land.

Translating what Day said about Eddrick Houston, Bo Jackson, more Sep 24, 2025

Show notes

Football coaches can only reveal so much to the media. So, it is our job at times to basically translate what they said and what it means for the team moving forward. On Tuesday, Ohio State head coach Ryan Day held his weekly press conference and answered questions about Eddrick Houston, Bo Jackson and more as the Buckeyes prepare for their game at Washington.

Dave Biddle flies solo on today's show and reads between the lines of what Day said yesterday on many topics. That and more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Buckeyes to flip Hoosier commit from Ohio? | Angelo Smith makes name for himself Sep 23, 2025

Show notes

When Ohio State hosted Ja'Dyn Williams for the Ohio game 10 days ago, many felt the Indiana commitment would receive the coveted Ohio State offer shortly thereafter.

Maybe it depends on your definition of 'shortly thereafter' but that offer came yesterday. Our Garrick Hodge had the story you can read HERE.

Now what? Will Williams flip? Where would he be utilized as a Buckeye?

There's no better source on this than Mark Porter and The Grand Poobah hogs the spotlight all show long ... thankfully.

We also dive deep on new commitment Angelo Smith. Accepted because of his older brother (see: Jeremiah)?

No. Angelo Smith earned his spot. We have the video to prove it.
