How coaching carousel impacts OSU | 'CFP committee made wrong choice' | Disrespect from Clemson?

December 11, 2019 13:53 - 23 minutes

It is Wednesday and there is plenty on the agenda for today's show. The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, joins Dave Biddle to discuss the following and more: * Is it now looking like Jeff Hafley will remain at Ohio State and not take the Boston College job? * Might Kevin Wilson leave to be the head coach at Colorado State? Or is Butch Jones still destined for that job? * Did Ohio State get the shaft by the College Football Playoff committee? Or is the No. 2 seed what the Buckeyes deserved? * W...

Good getting Clemson first | 'Best quarterback class ever'

December 10, 2019 14:31 - 20 minutes

Did you heart drop when Ohio State was revealed as the No. 2 team on Sunday?  If it did, that's understandable. But Duane Long is here today to tell you why the drop could actually benefit the Buckeyes. We explain. Also: * Chase Young wins Nagurski Award. Shocker. * Young, Justin Fields, Jalen Hurts and The Plains' favorite son were nominated and get a NYC trip. * What scares Duane most about Clemson? * If C.J. Stroud opts for the Buckeyes, where would the Stroud-Jack Miller combo rank when i...

Reaction to Buckeyes getting No. 2 seed, matchup with Clemson | Hafley to BC?

December 09, 2019 14:13 - 15 minutes

What is reaction to Ohio State getting the No. 2 seed in the College Football Playoff and its matchup with No. 3 seed Clemson? Bill "Bank" Greene joins Dave Biddle on today's show to talk about that, plus: * Did Bank think the Buckeyes were going to get the No. 1 seed? * Did the committee overreact to one bad half of football from the Buckeyes? * What are insights regarding the matchup with Ohio State and Clemson?

Bucknuts Almost Live: Who's No. 1?

December 08, 2019 14:25 - 21 minutes

Yeah, it wasn't easy. But Ohio State persevered. The Buckeyes defeated Wisconsin, 34-21, in the B1G title game on Saturday night in Indianapolis.  What does it feel like to be behind by two scores? Ohio State found out for the first time this season and responded. The second half was a return to form and ended with another B1G crown. What did we think of the effort? What does it mean to Ohio State's CFP ranking? The Dean of Ohio State Recruiting Bill Kurelic is here. The People's Champ Matt B...

Style points needed for Buckeyes in B1G title game to keep No. 1 ranking?

December 06, 2019 12:33 - 14 minutes

Win and they're in? Of course. Win and they definitely keep the No. 1 seed? Well, it is not so clear. Ohio State will play Wisconsin in the Big Ten Championship Game, and if the Buckeyes want to retain the No. 1 ranking heading into the College Football Playoffs, do they need style points against the Badgers? Presuming LSU looks good against Georgia in the SEC title game? Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for his usual Friday visit to give his answer to that, plus: * What are thoughts on this re...

Indy expectations | Taking from Texas, California

December 05, 2019 14:57 - 18 minutes

Ohio State is readying for a trip to its second home ... err ... Lucas Oil Stadium for Saturday's B1G title game tussle with Wisconsin. Your Buckeyes will be about a 20-point favorite by kickoff ... and deservedly so.  Why will it be different this time? Ohio State handled Wisky, 38-7, on xxxx.  That's a question we ask Indy resident and 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong.  Wiltfong also dishes on his specialty - 'crootin - as we discuss Donovan Jackson, C.J. Stroud, Greg Schiano...

Mauling in Ann Arbor

December 02, 2019 14:11 - 17 minutes

It was an absolute mauling of Michigan by Ohio State in Ann Arbor on Saturday, and we are here to talk all about it on today's show. Bill "Bank" Greene joins Dave Biddle to review The Game, plus: * The Wolverines have 24 commits in their 2020 recruiting class. Zero are from the state of Ohio. Is this one of the biggest reasons Jim Harbaugh is failing? * The Buckeyes' offensive line spent Saturday afternoon doing nothing but pushing UM's offensive line all over the field. We liked it. * What a...

Bucknuts Almost Live: Northern Exposed

December 01, 2019 14:33 - 31 minutes

Some shows can be tough to put together on a Sunday morning. This is not one of them. It was labor of love after what we witnessed Saturday. Ohio State continued its pure mastery of Michigan, smashing the host Wolverines, 56-27, to complete an undefeated regular season at 12-0. Urban Meyer never lost to Michigan as head coach of the Buckeyes. Ryan Day is off to a similar start. So what gives? Why has Ohio State pulled so far ahead in a matchup that used to inspire much competitive drama? How ...

Will Buckeyes make it eight straight over Wolverines?

'Obviously, I think Ohio State will win'

November 27, 2019 13:55 - 18 minutes

The Game is just three days away and The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, joins Dave Biddle on today's show to talk all about it. Ohio State, which returned to the No. 1 spot in the College Football Playoff rankings Tuesday night, is favored by 9.5 points over Michigan. How will the game play out? Where do the Buckeyes have advantages over the Wolverines? Are we concerned about Justin Fields' health at all after he seemed to injure his left (non-throwing) thumb against Penn State last week? If...

MEGA-POD: Duane Long on The Game | Dane Brugler on NFL Draft

November 26, 2019 15:09 - 57 minutes

There are pods and then there are MEGA-pods. This falls in the latter category. It's Tuesday, so that means our usual bread breaking with Duane Long.  We get into: * The addition of Miyan Williams.  * How can The Fighting Khakis threaten the Buckeyes? * Ohio State DBs vs. Wolverines WRs: Who wins the tussle? * How will they try to handle Chase Young? * Will Justin Fields and J.K. Dobbins be lagging from workhorse performances vs. Penn State? Then, we are joined by the best in the business: NF...

November 25, 2019 14:18 - 16 minutes

It is The Game week and Bill "Bank" Greene joins Dave Biddle on today's show to talk all about it. * What might concern Ohio State about Michigan? * Where do the Buckeyes have a big advantage over the Wolverines? * If OSU loses to UM in a close game, but wins the Big Ten championship, will the Buckeyes still make the College Football Playoff with a 12-1 record? * What is Bank's take on Ohio State finally landing their 2020 running back: Miyan Williams? Are the Buckeyes now done with RB recrui...

Bucknuts Almost Live: Adversity calls, Buckeyes answer

November 24, 2019 16:01 - 27 minutes

What a Saturday. Ohio State came through when it counted and walked out of The Shoe with a 28-17 victory over B1G foe Penn State. With the win, the Buckeyes clinched the B1G East and a spot in the conference title game two weeks from now in Indy.  The big W wasn't without drama, however. For the first time this season, the Buckeyes led by less than a touchdown after halftime ... briefly.  Also: Chase Young. What do we make of the win? Then there's this: The long, at times seemingly interminab...

Weathering the storm? OSU-PSU thoughts, predictions

November 22, 2019 13:37 - 14 minutes

Rain is in the forecast for Saturday's Ohio State-Penn State clash. How might this impact the Buckeyes' offensive game plan? Could we see a conservative approach like OSU used in the rain against Wisconsin? Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle to discuss that, plus: * Thoughts on the OSU-PSU game and where the No. 2 Buckeyes (10-0, 7-0 Big Ten) have the biggest advantages over the No. 8 Nittany Lions (9-1, 6-1). * Final score predictions on the game. * If both Ohio State and LSU win their next th...

The weekend we've all been waiting for

November 21, 2019 14:51 - 16 minutes

It's the biggest game of the season (so far). It's the biggest recruiting weekend of the season (by far). Penn State is coming. So is every other college football media outlet known to man. It's a big deal. Your Buckeyes are big favorites. Do they deserve to be? The last two Penn State tussles have been epic. Does this impending meeting have similar potential? 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is here to not only break down the expected red carpet attendees but share his thought...

What is Buckeyes' path back to No. 1? What can be done about ticket prices?

November 20, 2019 13:20 - 17 minutes

'It's on like Donkey Kong'

November 19, 2019 14:34 - 18 minutes

The waiting is over. The stretch run is here. Penn State comes calling. Then a trip to Ann Arbor. After that? It's about raising banners. How will Ohio State respond? Are the Buckeyes in the sprinter's stance ready to run for a few big titles? After trouncing Maryland and Rutgers, this Big Ten foe - Penn State - should offer more resistance. How does Ohio State match up?  Duane Long and I break down key tussles to watch and where the Nittany Lions strengths and weaknesses lie. Plus, the Colle...

November 18, 2019 14:12 - 17 minutes

After a bye week and then two "game weeks" that felt more like bye weeks, it's finally a big-game week for Ohio State. The Buckeyes are favored by a whopping 18.5 points over visiting Penn State, and Bill "Bank" Greene joins Dave Biddle to talk all about the matchup. Also on the docket: * What does Bank remember about the recruitment of PSU quarterback Sean Clifford from Cincinnati St. Xavier? * Are the Nittany Lions trending the wrong way? * Dare we say Michigan is suddenly looking like a go...

Bucknuts Almost Live: Jersey Sure

November 17, 2019 14:51 - 28 minutes

Ohio State went to Rutgers and got the job done: Easy W, no injuries. Now the season really starts. Penn State is coming. So are FOX and ESPN with their cavalcade of talking heads. It's about to get serious. A star-studded case of possible future Buckeyes will be in town.  So today's show is less game review - see: uncompetitive, Rutgers - more let's put everything in context for the stretch run. We are joined by The Dean of Ohio State Recruiting Bill Kurelic and The People's Champ Matt Baxen...

Buckeyes' week-in-review: 'A nefarious act by an anonymous person'

November 15, 2019 12:11 - 13 minutes

It is Rutgers week so we did not exactly expect an action-packed week here at Bucknuts. Boy were we wrong. From the Chase Young situation getting resolved, to Ohio State dropping a spot in the College Football Playoff rankings despite winning by 59 points, to the latest developments in 2020 running back recruiting.

'The good news is Ohio State could easily move back into top spot'

November 13, 2019 13:20 - 14 minutes

Ohio State fell one spot to No. 2 in the College Football Playoff rankings, which were released Tuesday evening. It is pretty rough to drop in the rankings when you win by 59 points as the Buckeyes did against Maryland. However, the new No. 1 team in the land, LSU, did go to Alabama and knock off the Crimson Tide, so the Tigers jumping OSU was not a big surprise. The good news, per the People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, is Ohio State has a very good chance of moving back into the No. 1 spot if t...

Young vibes | When hyperbole is true

November 12, 2019 15:23 - 28 minutes

Ohio State is in an interesting spot these days. An unquestioned national title contender, the Buckeyes are in the midst of tussles against overmatched foes.  Maryland is awful. Rutgers wishes it was Maryland. So the competitive aspect of this weekend's trip to New Jersey is ... well ... non-existent. Yet, there is plenty to talk about. Among the topics Duane Long and I cover on today's show: * Chase Young. How many more games? Does it even matter? Who turned on him? * PT strategy. How much p...

Latest on Chase Young | Jahmyr Gibbs trending Buckeyes' way?

November 11, 2019 14:05 - 14 minutes

What is the latest on Chase Young? Specifically, how many more games will Ohio State's star junior defensive end miss? Bill "Bank" Greene joins Dave Biddle to give the answer to that, plus: What is the latest with 2020 running back recruiting for the Buckeyes? How did Jahmyr Gibbs' visit go this weekend? Could Gibbs perhaps now be trending OSU's way? Will Ohio State drop to No. 2 in the College Football Playoff rankings after LSU hammered Alabama? Should people really be that surprised that M...

Bucknuts Almost Live: Cruising through chaos?

November 10, 2019 15:36 - 32 minutes

Well, that was quite an interesting Saturday. It started with the news Chase Young would not be playing against Maryland. That story only took off from there. We get into ... like really get into it. Ohio State then destroyed visiting Maryland, 73-14, in front of a packed Shoe.  Elsewhere, Joe Burrow did it again, Lovie Smith did it again, and the season outlook nationally got even cloudier. There's plenty to discuss and we brought in two big-time discussers: Bill Kurelic and Matt Baxendell. ...

Emergency Chase Young episode

November 08, 2019 16:43 - 11 minutes

Not the way you expected to start your day, huh? The Chase Young news has ripped through Buckeye Nation and we are still dealing with ourselves.  So ... what happened? Will Young miss more than Maryland game? Why now? Is Ohio State prepared? Who replaces Young on the field? Lots of questions and we took a crack at all of them.

Flip watch? | Second QB signs | Turtle soup

November 07, 2019 14:38 - 19 minutes

The Class of 2020 is nearing completion. But there's a few key spots left ... and you know them: running back(s) and second quarterback. Oh, and Ohio State hosts Maryland this weekend. So there's that.  One running back from Georgia will be here. Is he on flip watch?  Ohio State has offered another quarterback. Does that mean C.J. Stroud is out? Will Chase Young take a second half snap against his home-state foe? Can the Fighting P.J. Flecks turn the B1G upside down? Can Super Joe turn back t...

No. 1 with a Bullet

Second QB shuffle | Knighton time? | Playoff reveal feels

November 05, 2019 14:33 - 14 minutes

Ohio State is fresh off a bye week and readying to host Maryland in a return to action. But there is plenty of action of the field as well: * The College Football Playoff reveal is tonight at 9 on ESPN. The Buckeyes will one of the top four teams. But where exactly will Ohio State be ranked? * The dumpster fire that is Florida State football has added some drama to Ohio State recruiting with the decomittment of Jaylon Knighton. Have fences been mended enough for Knighton to once again be a pr...

Where will Buckeyes be in first College Football Playoff rankings of 2019?

November 04, 2019 14:05 - 15 minutes

The first College Football Playoff rankings of 2019 will be released Tuesday evening and it will be interesting to see where Ohio State is ranked. The Buckeyes (8-0, 5-0 Big Ten) are ranked No. 3 in the AP poll and No. 4 in the Coaches poll, but those polls have zero impact on the four teams that make the CFP. Might Ryan Day and Co. be ranked No. 1 the CFP? Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle to discuss that on today's show, plus: * The Buckeyes are favored by 44 points over visiting Maryland th...

November 01, 2019 11:20 - 19 minutes

As the Bijan Turns

October 31, 2019 14:03 - 19 minutes

Running back drama? The Buckeyes? Well, if it's the Class of 2020 recruiting cycle, there's been more drama than needed. We thought Ohio State had basically settled on two targets: Ohioan Miyan Williams and Georgia native Jahmyr Gibbs). But an 'old' name popped up again recently. Bijan Robinson told 247Sports he is still in contact with Ohio State's staff despite his Texas commitment. The heck? 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is here with the latest. Plus, we asked Bucknutters...

October 30, 2019 13:30 - 17 minutes

The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, joins Dave Biddle for today's show to talk about the Buckeyes' national title hopes and much more. Entering a season with a "national championship or bust" mindset is setting yourself up for serious disappointment. But after eight games, with as impressive as the Buckeyes are looking, does Bax have a n...

Juggernaut season continues in full force for OSU

October 28, 2019 13:01 - 15 minutes

Juggernaut (JUG-ger-naut): "A huge, powerful, and overwhelming force or institution." ... "A force regarded as mercilessly destructive and unstoppable." Yes, that perfectly describes the 2019 Ohio State Buckeyes through the first eight games of their season. They were expected to be tested by Wisconsin. And they were; for one quarter. Then they blew the doors off the Badgers 38-7 and the score very likely would have been a lot worse if not for the rainy conditions. Bill "Bank" Greene joins Da...

Bucknuts Almost Live: Drowning in domination

October 27, 2019 14:28 - 32 minutes

Chuck Norris is deathly afraid of Chase Young. That's what type of Saturday it was in The Shoe yesterday as the Buckeyes hosted Wisconsin in a 38-7 trouncing.  It rained. A lot. But Ohio State's winning parade went on ... in impressive fashion. Who shined? Yes, Chase.  But others did, too. Ohio State simply solidified its national standing and likely strengthened it. Bill Kurelic is here. Dave Biddle is here. Spend some of your Sunday morning with us, 'Nutters! To learn more about listener ...

Red carpet rundown | Badgers come calling | Irish the pick?

October 24, 2019 13:36 - 15 minutes

Wisconsin is licking its wounds and prepping for a Saturday meeting with host Ohio State.  Those Buckeyes have a few guests expected to visit for the noon kickoff. Sure, the early start limits the attendees and the Penn State home game on the horizon gives coveted recruits another date as option. But that won't make the red carpet laid out this weekend any less plush. 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is here for his routine Thursday appearance to breakdown who is coming to Colu...

Making up concerns for Buckeyes

October 22, 2019 13:17 - 15 minutes

Now almost two months into the season, Ohio State is 7-0 and beating opponents by an average score of 50-8. Is that good? So when you're asked: 'What are Ohio State's real concerns?' ... what do you say? The real answer: Not much. At. All. But how long would that show last? That would be a BM1. So Duane Long joined today and we racked our brains to come up with real concerns about Ohio State. Did we channel Chet from 'Weird Science'? Sort of. But we managed to craft a few. Also:  * What to ma...

Bucknuts Almost Live: The beat goes on

October 20, 2019 13:57 - 30 minutes

Now that you've had an extra day to revel in it, what did you think of Ohio State's decimation of Northwestern on Friday night.  Ohio State won, 52-3. Sometimes the final score is not indicative of the game. This was. Total beatdown in Evanston in front of a national audience (at least those who get BTN, but we digress).  What did we think of the game? What happened on Saturday that affects the Buckeyes? Here to talk about all that and more: Bill Kurelic, Pat Murphy and Matt Baxendell. Spend ...

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.

October 15, 2019 13:10 - 13 minutes
