Shakeup on Buckeyes' O-line? Aug 13, 2025

Show notes

We have been touting Ohio State's offensive line as a strength all offseason and we still feel that way. But it is interesting that Austin Siereveld is exclusively repping at left tackle right now, with Phillip Daniels and Ethan Onianwa apparently battling it out for the right tackle spot. Onianwa is also receiving some reps inside at guard.

The media spoke with OL coach Tyler Bowen yesterday to get his thoughts, and this situation is the main topic of today's show with Dave Biddle and Matt Baxendell. We also take a look at other notable happenings with nearly two weeks of camp in the books.

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

Were Phillip Daniels and Max Klare, for example, misses the first time around or great pickups at the perfect point?

We dive deep on 'crootin vibes, NIL and Ohio getting rolling on the high school gridiron ... and MORE!

Ever wonder what it would be like to be the boss at Ohio State?

Well, Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter get to play that out on our podcast today thanks to our Front Row message board.

We asked for questions and got some great ones. The Dean and Grand Poobah took the queries in stride.

It led to a rollicking discussion before our video peek at the only Class of 2028 commitment currently pledged to the Buckeyes.

Is Ohio State best in Big Ten? Aug 06, 2025

Show notes

Is Ohio State ready for another season of excellence?

Sure. But how excellent?

There are goals at Ohio State. One never changes: Conference supremacy. While last season saw Ryan Day and Co. hoist the BIGGEST possible trophy, there was no Big Ten title.

Who stands in the way of that goal this season?

Matt Baxendell is the right source for this because he's been previewing the conference weekly in his Sunday column - The Bucket of Bullets - for several weeks.

Dan Rubin subs in for Dave Biddle was tackle the season ahead in the Big Ten and much more!

Top targets left in '26 cycle | Guest list rundown | Texas unicorn with Ohio ties? Aug 05, 2025

Show notes

With the season less than a month away, one might think our focus has gone totally away from recruiting.

Wrong!

We always have recruiting on a front burner here and today is no exception. Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here to touch on the following topics:

* Three top 60 prospects remain uncommitted in the Class of 2026's Top247. Ohio State is theoretically in the mix for all three. We dive deep on Bralan Womack, Darius Gray and Savion Hiter with their commitments scheduled for later this month.

* Ohio State's season opener against visiting Texas is a prime time for the Buckeyes to entertain recruits. We peek at the burgeoning guest list while acknowledging some challenges in building attendance.

* There is 300-plus pound prospect from Texas the Buckeyes have offered that boasts Ohio ties. He also lines up as Wildcat quarterback at times. We have video prove it. Meet Jalen Brewster.
