Heading into spring ball spring balls right around the corner y'all. It's the 10th, I believe, which is Tuesday. That's that's close. So we're going to have a lot to talk about and observe. And then of course we're going to we're asking the question of the other be the be ball buck eyes. See I'm rocking the Jersey to extra clean Jim Jackson era grade joint. Are they going to make the tournament?

3:01We're going to talk about it. There's still some questions and confusion, but we're going to talk about it. I'm also remember when you send us one of the super chats. Helps to go towards the pay it forward, which is our military and our first responders. We're going to look out for them because they always look out for us. Nevada. What's up brother? How are you feeling on this Friday evening? You're wearing your Christian Jersey today, man. I'm liking. I'm liking that. You know, Chris. I, Chris was one of my all time favorite players. And then he, he, the game against that number. We're putting that cheating Michigan team. And, uh, and he missed that little, uh, little baseline thing right at the right. I think that's right. My mind's not betraying. I think you're right. I love me some Christian and boy Michigan. Michigan really has, uh, they've been cheating for a while and just about everything. It's been a long time. Long time. Long time. Long time. They've taken it to a new level now. But, uh, yeah, the cheating Wolverines kept us out, but not that it can't keep us out this year. We're going in. And I'm telling you to be we're a hot team right now.

4:02And where you're always looking for around this time of year is a team. You need to have a couple of digs that can defend, you know, seven footers when we have that. We have a great shooting. You know, we're shooting really well right now. And you want to have a veteran point guard and we've got that. Okay, we've got kind of the pieces to make a little mini runner. Maybe shots and people. So, uh, I'm excited for, uh, for March Madison and what spring balls five days away or Tuesday or four days away or whatever it is. So, I mean, I'm like the off season. The off season is officially over with the start of spring ball. So I am color me excited, ma'am. Definitely. We're definitely going to get back much more and to Buckeye basketball. Uh, in a little bit, we're going to start off with the spring football stuff. I got a lot to say about both. But yes, it's the 10th. So that's this upcoming. Let me, let me count today's a six, seven, eight, nine, yep, 10th. So it's coming up quick, y'all. And I'm excited. I mean, can you believe that Nevada? I mean, it just felt like we just like day, man.

5:05You know, lost in Miami and boom, it's spring. And so I'm super excited. Like I said, the weather here in Columbus was lovely today. And I'm hoping the spring game will be the same. But also before we get really get into it. Wanted to shot out Patrick Green. As we mentioned the other day condolences. You know, to him and his family, his mother pass. He's here in the city for the funeral. I was able to link him up with Brian Fogel to get the Buckeyes to pass out. And he sent me some pictures. Nevada, he got a chance. Did you ever, did you ever see the video? I posted of the tour that I took in Brian's and Brian's crib. Have you ever seen it? You did. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So he got a Patrick got the, the tour. And you know, after every tour is a, you take a picture in his living room around all this stuff. And he got that picture. I thought that was dope. Man, I just thought you were going to drop by and grab the Buckeyes and bang out.

6:06But I'm glad you got the going there because it's definitely a sight to see in the bottom. Yeah. Sounds, I mean, like sounds great. And yeah, this is a tough times. Don't last tough people do and, and glad to see things, things working on the way that they're working out. Absolutely. Absolutely. All right. So yeah, let's get into this great nugget from the scoop board. All right. It's talking about the buzz and, you know, a lot of good intel head into the spring. And I wanted you to kind of kick it off. I got some, some things I wanted to touch on. I got excited about one particular item. I'm not because it's just so earth shattering. I just thought it was dope. But what's your thoughts on the, the nugget from the helping technician about some things. Arthur Smith and Julian saying duo. Ryan Day, you know, some players highlighted, wish your initial thoughts on that nugget in the bottom.

7:06Well, it's just going to, it's really going to help Ryan Day this year in more ways than anybody will ever imagine having Arthur Smith as his offensive coordinator. And, you know, having a guy that arguably knows as much or more about offense than you do. Certainly is it stands and start contrast to where he was last year in 2025. And, you know, Arthur Smith has already come in a couple of things that I noted. It was a bunch in there. But there's a couple of things that I'll highlight. Maybe it wasn't saying maybe they're not. But one was, you know, Arthur Smith now giving Julian saying the ability to change protections up front. Something he didn't have last year and, and, you know, part of that's, you know, his an experience. You have part of that is Brian Hartlein's inexperience. But he was not able to slide protections to where he thought your pressure was going to be coming from. And now they, you know, Arthur Smith's already coming to say, look, we're going to, we're going to do this.

8:06And this is going to be one of the early installs in terms of the springs. That's what they will expect to see, you know, throughout 2026 football. Obviously, Arthur Smith, a big offensive line guy, cares a great deal about what happens in that room with those guys. And obviously realizes what an integral part that is to offensive line success. And I just think it's going to be a night and day difference, you know, on the offensive line. How they protect, you know, how we attack the other defenses, you know, up front with our winning game. So I think it's going to be a complete change in terms of offense. Not change of philosophy, but a change in terms of execution in 2026 and 20 versus 2025. And the second thing was, you know, there was like a little saying that I thought was great, which is when in doubt put four in the route. And, you know, last year they had a couple of times where they would run. And they'd run two man routes or they'd run three man routes. And what they're finding is when you run four man routes.

9:10And one of those four men is JJ Smith. It puts just so much pressure on the defense. Like they, they may be able to cover move. It's a two man route. They may be able to cover into three men route because they can, they can bracket them. But when it's a four man route, they really can't do that. And I think Arthur Smith has identified that right away saying, look, I know this puts some of our pressures on our guys up front, but I think we can handle it. I think our quarterbacks mobile enough to be able to move around. I think offensive lines be enough to block them up, but we're going to be putting four guys that are out with regularity. And that is another change from last year's offense. That's another thing that will definitely stress out opposing defenses. And, you know, look, we're trying to run the offense in 2026 through Julian saying last year we were trying to let it around him because he was the freshman hadn't played before this year. And I think that's another piece. He's the trigger man that are running everything through Julian. And I'm excited to see you, you know, again, from football starts Tuesday, you know, four days away. We're all going to get a chance to see it here relatively shortly.

10:11But I think the other Smith thing is going to be a huge ad for Ryan Day and certainly a huge ad for the Ohio State offense. I definitely agree. And speaking of ad. If in addition to the coaching staff, you mentioned online being better. Well, this gentleman is going to help that Mateo Camboy Camboy. I'm not sure how to pronounce that. He worked under Arthur Smith with the Steelers and the Falcons. He's going to replace Marcus. I forget his last name. Excuse me. The assistant who left. He's going to replace him. So remember, we can have multiple coaches, multiple assistants now. So this young man will be coming in to help out in Nevada. Wanted to update the people about this. Any thoughts on this? Well, I mean, I. You know, there's a selfish part of me that was hoping that that position would be thrilled by Mike Brewster. Great former but guy, you know, the guy, but then.

11:11But look, Arthur Smith's going to bring in his guys. This is a guy that Arthur Smith's had experience with. He's comfortable with them. He's coached under him before. He wants to bring his guy. This is Arthur Smith putting his imprint further. Putting his imprint on the OSU offensive room. I have no problem with it because at the end of the day, the offense is Arthur Smith's. The defense is mathematicians and the team is Ryan Day. And that's the way that it should run. You should those guys should be the buck stops with them. And when the buck stops with you, you get to pick your people and he's getting to pick it. I have no problem with it. I'm excited about it. Definitely. I agree. Bring your guy in. Bring him in. But yeah, before we kind of move on to the next part to the nugget that I told you, I was excited about. Julian saying, again, it's just funny, Nevada. I'm my iris to the street. And there's still people who just are downplaying. And Julian saying, I just, I laughed because he went to New York. He was in New York. Was he perfect?

12:12No, he was young and he showed his youth at times towards the end of the season against. Two really good teams. And still put up really good numbers, made some mistakes. But he was no bum by any means, but he's still learning the jump from year one to year two. Adding Arthur Smith. It's just like, all right, y'all can sell stock if you want. Go ahead and then you'll be quiet or you'll be acting like you never said it. You know, when it's time comes. To eat crow, but why would you? It's okay to say Julian made some mistakes in the games. Some young inexperienced mistakes. He needs to get better, I believe he will. Etc. You know, I'm saying you don't have to just completely just, oh, well, no, what's up with Tavy? I'm saying clear who I'm high on, who I think has a high ceiling. I think it'd be really good. But Julian saying. Is still a really good college quarterback. And I just think he's Nevada. I'm I'm tripping because he was excellent last year for a first year starter.

13:16I can't even imagine how much better he's going to be this year, bro. I mean, be it's, I mean, last year at this time, people were wondering whether he was going to be the starting quarterback or whether it was going to be Lincoln Keynals. You know, I'm saying that was an open discussion. You know, is this guy good enough to be our starting quarterback? So then so then he goes on 3600 passing yards, 32 touchdowns versus 80 interceptions, can be rating of 177.5, completion percentage, 77%. While also being third in the nation in yards per attempt. So like, and getting it and remember at the beginning of the year, I'm like, hey, Julian is going to get invited to the Heisman Server Money in New York. That was like the wildest thing that was like, oh, Nevada's been drinking again. What's going on? I mean, he has a freshman eligible quarterback that invited to the Heisman Server. Like, how many how many times does that happen? I guarantee it's not not been often, right?

14:21I mean, I ought to go back and, you know, hit the Google machine or the rock machine or whatever. I have an freshman eligible quarterback at the Heisman Server. I guarantee it hasn't happened that often. I guarantee it's never happened for an Ohio State quarterback before, ever. So yeah, to say he had a good, I mean, he was exceptional last year, absolutely exceptional last year. And you're right, he's only going to get better at the idea that he's going to improve over a 77 completion percentage is kind of, I mean, 77. Yeah. Yeah, people are wacky, man, but hey, that's what people do. I'm excited to see what you're doing. Do people do that? Or is this Ohio State thing? I mean, do Ohio State fans just have crazy expectations out of whack expectations? Because I'm telling you, like, I, you know, I follow UCLA football, I follow USC football. So I follow other programs, not the level I follow Ohio State, but I'm familiar with them. I don't remember that those people being as wacky in terms of crazy expectations, you know, fire Ryan Day, Jim Nolsox, Chip Kelly, isn't any good.

15:34I mean, this kind of stuff. I just, I just hear this stuff and I'm like, I just have to shake my head. Is this Ohio State thing or is this just a crazy person thing? I think we're among the top of the food chain as far as the crazy takes. I remember Sabin always railing on fans and media at Alabama, right? Like the Craig, remember, he used to talk about the crazy expectations. So I think we're up there in that air. But yeah, the UCLA's an even USC can't compare to the craziness here because USC and UCLA, well, UCLA is not USC. And they, they're, it's LA, you know, I'm saying like here, this is it that we are the pro team here. And so I think we're, it's a very limited group and we might honestly be the only one now. Now that Sabin's gone. So I just know our fan base to me, the top, the high IQ in our fan base is great.

16:39But the smart fans are extremely smart, but the dumb fans are extremely dumb. It's tax season. And by now, I know we're all a bit tired of numbers. But here's an important one you need to hear, $16 billion. That's how much money and refunds the IRS flagged for possible identity fraud. Here's another one.

18:44Does that make sense? I'm trying to explain that to what I see in this fan base. We have great fans and I think herb she talks about the what is it the two the two percent. I forget what you called it. But trust her. Trust her. Trust her. Yeah, he did. And then he should have never walked that back. He should have said nope that I said what I said. I understand politics on that. But but no, but no, not not to belabor the point. I think you're on to something we have the largest fan base per New York Times. Per whatever publication. That's the one thing. So we have a huge sample size. The minority of our fan base, the lunatic fringe is bigger than some fan bases. So they seem like they're dictating things when they're really not. Because they're the vocal minority. But I got said our upper echelon smart fans are very smart. They can bang with any fan base in the country.

19:46But it's just we discussed some some goofies in our fan base, man, who have unrealistic expectations. They'll try to pound it off like, oh, we have a standard. No, you don't like stop conflating that. We all have a standard. We're an excellent program. Okay. But what y'all jokers is doing is just unreasonable, a logical and just ridiculous with some of the expectations. So anyway, Nevada, you got a thing on that. Well, yeah, just because I just look at like Julian San and like, what more could you've asked out of a first year starter at quarterback in Ohio State than what he did? You know what I'm saying? He should have been 78%. He should have thrown no interception. Like, like, what where, you know, where does it fall in there? You know, like. I mean, he had the, he had the best freshman year of any freshman eligible quarterback in the history of college football. The highest QB rating in Ohio State football. I mean, I just, there's, you went out of superlates when you talk about the guy.

20:48All when he wasn't thinking and dunking down the field. So I just, I mean, I understand that there's everybody's, you know, I always get this. Nevada, I'm entitled to my take. And I'm like, yeah, you're entitled to your take, but if you're take stupid, I'm entitled to say it's dumb. Yeah. So replace Julian saying just, I mean, I just, I'm just not, I'm just not even understanding. And when he's gone, when he goes to NFL, like, I really hope the next guy is as good as he is. But because the standard is going to be really, really, really high in that quarterback room. Yeah. And the last thing I'll say on this is that again, just to bring it around, we're not saying, we're not saying, you know, see what I did there. That Julian, that Julian can't improve. That's one of the first things I said. He's going to, he needs to improve Ryan Day and Arthur Smith are saying, okay, these are the areas we can improve on Julian. Here's where we're going to help you. He's going to get better. He's not a finished product.

21:49You know, can he go, can he be a little sharper with maybe some of his reads? Maybe there's things he's missed. Sure. Freshman quarterback is going to miss that. Could he know and have a better fill of the game or when to take off and run to move the chains? Absolutely. We've talked about that at Nazim. There's little things that he can continue to get better at. But there's notion that he's a bum and who's up next. And I don't have any, any trust in him is just dumb. And that's what we're saying. So don't, don't get it twisted. That's the type of stuff we're talking about, Nevada. But on the nugget, I want to get back to this nugget. One thing, excuse me. I was, I was like, yeah, this is dope is the new tradition from Ryan Day, a gold pants ceremony. And it's going to be the day before pro day where all, you know, where everybody's back in town. I thought that was dope, you know, nice little ceremony for the gold pads.

22:49I think we're about to start another streak. Shoot, we might go 10 straight this time. What do we do last time eight eight or nine straight without cheating? Yeah, I think we're about to start a new streak. And this is a great ceremony to start their streak, Nevada. Yeah, no, I love the fact that Ryan Day is comfortable enough in his own skin to change some of the traditions to add to some of the, the gold pants aren't acting. I totally, I think that that should be a thing. It should be, you know, during the time when, you know, when guys are going to be there, when you're in a position to get it. And no, I love it. I love it. But I do think it says stuff about Ryan Day as a person, though, because he's not the same young inexperienced head coach that, you know, took over in 2019, trying to find his way. Like you can tell now, like he's the big boss band. He's the guy that's been here. He's the one of the elder statesmen in the big 10 and in college football in general. And he's totally comfortable changing when they do, you know, the, the band thing during Michigan.

23:55You know, he's changed. You see in your tackle. I mean, he's changed a lot of things about the traditions around Ohio State. I mean, because he didn't feel like it was kind of appropriate to the time and recognize the change. But I like the goal pants ceremony. I know some people that are going to that and are really excited about about going and seeing that thing and I agree with you. I think we're about to go on a little, another, another run. And I'm not sure when the next time Michigan's going to be able to, to step up and play with us. And I think it's going to be a bit. Yeah, I definitely agree. And they deserve another run up on the scoreboard for sure after everything that transpired. And then also a part of the Nuggets Caleb Downs, possibly not, you know, working out. And to me, you know, over the years, I've thought about that, you know, because some, he's like, OK, man, why don't you want to work out and show what you can do. And the question is, what's the upside to that? I mean, what is the upside to Caleb Downs working out? I mean, there's analysts who are unanimously saying that he is.

25:01I would say the most complete prospect in the draft, some are saying the smartest. Matter of fact, let me pull this up. I'm not going to play the clip, but you got, you know, Matt Patricia or interviews talking about how he's in it. And Matt Patricia would know, Matt Patricia would know, he's been around some smart football players. OK, and he calls him the smartest player he's ever seen, you know, coming out of college. And so I would love to see Caleb Downs go and do great numbers and run the 40. But I'm not tripping if you don't work out, Nevada. I think he's going top 10, regardless at this point. Do you think anything has changed with that? Or do you still think he's a top 10 pick? Thank you, struggling with the mute button. I am not struggling anymore, man. There was a picture of Caleb Downs, like a body shot of Caleb Downs in the uniform in this little sequence.

26:03Or Matt Patricia, do you have that that are, can you freeze on that? Oh, yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about. Is this due to action figure? Let me go back. It's right here. Stop. Well, one, yeah, he's an action figure with two. I can't get over the fact that they don't wear knee pants. They're basically wearing shorts out there. Do you know what I'm saying? Like that? Yeah. Like, like, like, B Moses lands him by the pool during the summers, like that. And they're like, I mean, in that crazy that they don't even wear knee pads or anything anymore. I thought about that. I mean, because back in our day, I mean, I had knee pads cover my knees fully. I mean, even as a, even as a receiver. So I mean, I get it because obviously it makes you faster. But dang, it's just like one shot to the knee with that helmet, you know, out. Yeah. But I guess it's worth, it's worth the risk to be more fluid and fast out there in Nevada. Yeah. Now, he, he, he certainly, yeah, he certainly looks the part.

27:05But no, he's definitely going to be. I absolutely think it can be a top 10 pick. I, there's actually a proposition that you can make on where there are. Arvel Reese is going to be the second pick in the draft because you know, Mendoza is going to be the first. And there's a lot of noise about Arvel Reese to the jets with the second pick. And I think, I think that's what I'm going to go with as well. But yeah, it's, it's going to be a very top heavy draft for the butt guys. I mean, it's going to be a deep draft all the way around, but. I mean, four guys in the top 10 very, very likely that that happens with Ohio State. Coming off of 14 players last year. It's just a crazy, crazy draft all. You really shows how good and how talented that Ohio State, you know, football team was last year. And, you know, it's, it's really going to set the standard for 2026 because I've said all along. I think 2026 is really the year for our state to, you know, follow up that 2024 national championship.

28:05But boy, we were deep in 2025. It's so many really good players and. You know, kind of miss them, but none more than KO down some KO downs was truly was. It's kind of a trade expression. The old coach on the field expression, but he really was the coach on the field. Yeah. You know, he really was the guy that got everybody else in the right spot was, you know, I, he might have missed one tackle at Ohio State. Maybe, you know, I mean, like he was the human eraser, maybe this was like, I mean, he, he just saved so many big plays. And I just think he's just going to be absolutely a fantastic pro, you know, for some team and hopefully it's one of the teams that I root for because he's just a fantastic athlete and fantastic player. Definitely. And real quick, you mentioned RVL Reese. To me, yes, you know, a house. Oh, because I see comments like, well, of course you guys you get all these five stars. Listen, man, RVL Reese and Kaden Curry to me, Nevada are the poster children for the prime examples of development.

29:12RVL Reese did not come in here as a five star camp miss. Oh my God. This is the guy the crown jewel of the class. He didn't. He was developed. Kaden Curry came in here as a, you know what? I think he could be a good football player out of Indiana. He's nice. Like he was a good prospect, but not a five star camp miss guy. And again, before last year. Studies show that 100% of everybody in the world wants to curl up indoors and do nothing because it's so darn cold out there.

Nobody except for Buckeye Scoot me in Nevada. We called this out on a podcast that we felt that Caden Curry was going to have a breakout year. And he did. But nobody else was. And now he's going to go, I would say before this season, Nevada, what do you think his staff on his staff, his draft projection was before the 2025 season, Caden Curry. Just off the head. I mean, if I'm being honest, I would say undrafted free agent. Yeah, that's my point exactly. My point exactly. And now we don't know yet. But what do you think his highest round that he can go in?

32:19The highest, maybe the third. Okay. Okay. I agree. I think he could be a third round pick to me. That is, is that not amazing? Nevada. For Caden Curry to go third. He's just one of those, one of the guys that, you know, I, I think a football player like Caden Curry, somebody's going to get a steal there because he's a guy that's productive. And, you know, I, I, I priced productivity over everything else. And, you know, how many times you have to see guys come into the league. Not everybody in the league is, is a first round draft pick. In fact, you know, the league is, you know, consists of two different constituencies, first round picks, and undrafted free agents. Those, that's the two highest percentages of players on NFL rosters. More so than second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth. It's first round picks and undrafted free agents. So guys can come from all over the place and make teams. And I think Caden's going to, he's going to be a later pick for some team. And he's going to be super productive. And people are going to be going, wow, where did this guy come from?

33:21Well, we know, we've been saying it all. But you were the one. And in fairness, I went that high and I liked Caden a lot as a person, but I didn't think he was going to be a great player in 2025. You did. You were like, I really think Caden Curry is going to be the, and he, you nailed it on that one, because he was, I mean, he overachieved just about everybody's expectations, but yours, but you had that one nails kudos to you on that one big. Thanks. And I'll say this. The only reason about it. I was confident enough to say that is because I'm kind of crazy. I'll go back and watch games. I'm going to go back and watch the games again. Just because I'm, I'm just, I'm crazy. I'm a crazy person. But I went back and watched all of the games. And I saw Caden Curry making plays. He was around the ball. He was doing things that were going unnoticed. And that's what kind of prompted me to say, I think he's about to break out. You can see it. He's, he's right there. So, um, but anyway, I just wanted to make the point that Ohio State is not just pushing out five stars

34:24who don't need developed. Arville Reese is going to go from, you know, four star guy who, yeah, okay, cool, Glennville. Yeah, he should be good to possibly number two, almost definitely top 10. Like, did, come on now. Will you talk about recruiting and, and this program and development? Come on, man. That's like the gold standard example right there, Nevada. I just wanted to really put that out there because that's amazing to me. Well, this NFL draft is going to do wonder. I mean, not that Ohio State doesn't have a high enough brand profile with recruits, but this one's really going to put a stamp on it that, you know, Ohio State's where you go if you want to become a premium talent, because this, this draft will be unlike any other one in Ohio State history in terms of the number of guys taken at the top of the first round. Like I said, four in the top 10 absolutely could happen. I expect it to happen. And that's just that, that's insane that we're talking about it. Yup. And then one other thing before we move on to Buckeye basketball,

35:24Kenyatta Jackson. Kenyatta Jackson, you mentioned this yesterday. And I think it was, I don't think it's really appreciated him coming back another year. I feel like it's huge for this team, like you said, but also huge for him. I think he's going to end up going first round, Nevada. I think he's going to play himself into the first round in this defense because I think he's another guy. Sure, he made plays last year. He was really good. He was one of our best liners, but I think there's another level. And I think he was knocking at the door last year. And I think he's going to explode to that next level this year and work himself into the first round. Do you agree? Well, I mean, there were games last year where he was on blockable. I mean, he had, you know, he had those games. The idea that he could take it from, there were games where he did it well to where he dominates the whole season. I don't think that's great. I mean, I think that's probably a likely outcome for him. And frankly, we need it. We need, you know, some guys to step up to be dominant players,

36:26to be leaders in that defense. And Kenyatta, yeah, I thought when he came back, I didn't think it got the fanfare that it probably should have. I think people, you know, it was like, oh, great. Kenyatta Jackson coming back. I think it's a huge thing for us at these back. And I expect them to have a massive season for us in 2026. Definitely, definitely, definitely. I agree.

I agree. So listen, what else is an awful lot of fun is the fact that our Bucar basketball team is peaking at the right time. According to the famous Joe Lanardi, we are off the bubble. For those asking, because they're still debating about it, or still people who are still trying to, oh, we got to win three more games. Nah, not really. Right now, we are off the bubble. We're projected as a 10 seed in the tournament. Now, obviously, we need to take care of business against Indiana tomorrow. And that's more so for solidifying, we can get a double buy in a big 10 tournament, which is huge, and get a favorable matchup. Maybe USC, and what was the other team? UCLA, maybe two teams that we both beat.

40:30I think that would be huge. But tomorrow is big, Nevada. Indiana, at the crib, senior day. Bruce is, let me go and pull this up. Bruce is 12 points away. 12 points away from becoming the all-time leading score in Ohio State basketball history. That's amazing to me. In this kid, and I want you to weigh in on this, but I want to give this kid his props, man, because he's going to absolutely smash that tomorrow. We know this. Senior day, really solidify and punch your ticket to the tournament, get your nice seed in a big 10 tournament, go out with a bang, as far as playing at home. I think tomorrow is a big day for the Deepler, Bruce Thornton in his program for where they're at right now, Nevada, what you got? Yeah, no, I think it's been great. It kind of reminds you how fun it is when Ohio State basketballs playing good, because March has relevance again,

41:31because, frankly, when we're not in the tournament, I know people love March's baddest, but when we're not in the tournament, my interest level goes down to about 95%. So, yeah, I'm excited that we have a chance to not only make the tournament, but I think we could surprise some people, because lower seeds have made runs, and when you do that, like I said, have a veteran point guard, have bigs, be able to treat them all well. We can do all those things, and I think we're the kind of team that could give people problems in the playoff because we're playing so well right now. And you know, that's, you know, that's a tribute to the coach, and Coach Dealers really got the guys going, and obviously it starts with your senior point guard, and having Bruce have a chance. It's fitting that he become the all-time scorer. The one thing I wish, I wish we had a better home court advantage. I wish, you know, I don't understand how a school like Ohio State can't just have the most

42:31crazy basketball environments out there. I just don't understand it. You know, I mean, like it's, it's foreign to me. There's my, my background is professional sports, specifically minor league sports, or minor league sports, you've got to get people, you've got to convince people to come to see your game, you know, and, you know, they have to make a, a conscious choice to come to it. I don't know how many kids you have on the campus. Right. 50,000 or what are you going to say? Like, you've got a captive audience of people that are always looking for something to do. And if you give them something to do and then make it fun, and I thought that it's starting to sport event, there is absolutely no reason that the Ohio State basketball shouldn't just be mayhem every night. Because I tell you, minor league baseball, we can never control whether we want to lose. In fact, our teams in Dayton lost way more than they won,

43:31but we sold out every game. You don't have to have, it doesn't need to only be about winning. Of course, winning helps, but if you make it fun, people will come out. If you make it a tradition and fun, people come out year after year. I just don't understand how we don't have a, a better home court advantage for Ohio State basketball. Because when it gets going, it's crazy, but it should be getting going every night. And I just, I don't know why we're not doing that. Well, we know St. John Arena was rocking. Oh, my goodness. St. John Arena was that deal back in the day. It's smaller. It's a smaller venue, less capacity. And I think Ohio State saw, you know, and listen, from a business standpoint, shopping scenes arena makes a lot of sense. Concerts and events. They're making money off of that. But it's not a great arena for basketball. Now, it's a nice arena. It's very, it's a lovely facility. But as far as intimidation and rocking, it just doesn't fit the bill like the St. John Arena did.

44:31And that's just the facts. So there's that about it. I mean, I think that's the biggest thing that I've ever seen, is the venue difference. But, you know, business wins in these situations. Yeah. But, you know, and I agree with you 100%. I mean, you know, one of the biggest things that I, when I advise major league teams, one of my biggest things, I say is always to cut back on seats, you know, make them group areas, do whatever you want to do, but cut. The reason why the Boston Red Sox for such a tough ticket for so many years is because they only had 34,000 tickets. You know what I'm saying? I mean, Cleveland had, you know, old municipal stadium, or whatever, you know, 80,000 seats. And, you know, they fill up like one time a year for like fourth of July. And other than that, it was like, empty, you know what I'm saying? Build them smaller, man. Control, create demand by controlling supply. I've always believed in that. I think, I think Ohio State really missed it in St. John's, because St. John's, it's a vertical building. Like, when you know when you go up the top of that, man, when you're there for like the skull session or something,

45:31it's kind of scary, because you're ready to, I mean, you're right on top of the court, and what a great basketball venue. And I definitely think, they lost something when they moved from. From St. John's, so the shot for sure, Yep. They did. Now what that said, you mentioned them making a run. And it's funny because I saw thread started on Buck eросcope. Sorta, scoffing or kind of making fun at the Buck eросcope Twitter account for suggesting that this team can make a run. Do you think it's crazy? So will I? do you think it's crazy to suggest this team could let's say make it to the sweet 16 what do you do you sneer at that or what is your thoughts on that no I don't I don't look you're really gonna have you you got to win two games to make the sweet 16 two games we just went into Penn State I know it's Penn State but we blew them up by 35 points you know I'm saying that was a game and that's been a place that we've struggled traditionally and I have you know scrappy little team you know that to me is something if we get hot if we're shooting

46:33the ball well we shot the ball extremely well and have been lately if we continue to shoot well no telling how far this I mean you know you've seen teams like George Mason make deep runs as low seeds and think why could no high-estate do it I think they absolutely can they're getting hot they're getting healthy at the right time hot and healthy is a really good combination going into the tournament and I think we're a team to be to be reckoned with for sure yep and I'll say this is what we need down the stretch the balance we saw against Purdue and Penn State Thornton had 20 I'm just looking at points now Thornton had 20 mobile he had 21 buying them 14 Royal 12 Tillie 7 against Michigan State Thornton had 32 Tillie had 10 everybody else had single digits now we didn't have Royal and in a mobile that's a big deal but again Penn State mobility on fire eight from nine from three 28 points Thornton 18 buy them 14 Royal 14 Tillie 10 well spread out

47:34balanced this is how this team is going to be able to make a run and and the bench which is non-existent they need to come in and give good minutes play good defense rebound hustle and scrap if you can't contribute points cups then contribute defense contribute good solid high IQ basketball you know what I'm saying like so yeah I do I don't think it's out of the question for this team to make a run they're playing very well right now mobility is is just crazy right now I mean he can't miss so listen I'm excited I'm excited about tomorrow I'm excited about this team making the tournament and I'm excited for Bruce Thornton and respect the Jake Debler okay because again you know all the criticism all the man his team sucks here we go again he just kept they just team kept pressing kept pressing and now they're right there I think it's like a 87% 80% chance to make the tournament they're going to be Indiana tomorrow and

48:36I'm not going I'm not jinxing them I'm not they're going to be Bruce Thornton is not losing on senior day this team is healthy Indiana's a good team but they're not a great team we're gonna beat them tomorrow and we're gonna punch our ticket and I'm excited Nevada anything on that before we go to Super Chats yeah no I agree I just I hope we stay hot I hope we're getting hot you can feel it you can feel it around the program it's like I said it just March Mass is just better when the buccas are in it and yeah I just I'm I'm excited about March band is for the first time in a bit and then no small measure because Ohio State's starting to shoot the basketball so well hope that continues tomorrow same here still amat things for the one and nine trick daddy Billy D Moses head coach of the G's it's I like it that's like a Daenerys Targaryen you know announcement first a rename what some of the andos the unburnt the you just all the names that are we're giving but

49:41not as dope once again still amat coming through I got a question for you that like how like like you know the guy that wrote like you know the thing like how does he come up with all these different you know because it's like you know because it's like you know and then we'll have a thing and the guy that's defending it will be Sir Arthur Dane who's known as the sword of the morning and his sword will be known as dawn and dawn was a sword that was forged from the players that I'm just like where did the where in the world does all this stuff come I mean it's like okay B. Moses came down and shot the basketball on score two by like how can you think of nine different levels deep on that stuff man that's exactly what I've thought it's amazing the level again for those who don't know we're talking about Game of Thrones greatest show ever there's so many layers to the storylines there's so many different characters and layers to their individual storylines and then of course we're

50:44not even talking about the the the places winter fell and all the different places that you come up with and the and the things that happen in these places and very distinctive to these play it's amazing but look at the book the book of the King's Garden and he just that that kind of throw away comment from John for you know Sir Duncan the tall all four pages he must have been quite the night Sir Jamie you know you're thinking I just but then that's the whole story on Sir Duncan I mean it's just I mean yeah crazy crazy crazy but anyway you are trick you are trick daddy Billy D trick daddy Billy D I agree I still got to do I still got to do that edit man my uh Billy actually I try to do a Billy D edit but I didn't like the picture I need to find a better picture works every time every time what is what what was it called for called 45 craving the coffee flavor you love but without the caffeine kachavas got you covered with their newest coffee flavor this all-in-one nutrition shake delivers bold authentic flavor crafted

54:55yep that's the thing is uh it can be it can be challenging we have some great fans i love our fans collectively but we we got some boil boy man we got some some some some guys and girls who are uh crazy and um so anyway yeah i feel you geo did anything Nevada uh yeah now i mean he's he is cubie like he's cubie number one in all college football man forget Ohio State he's he i mean he's the man and um and he's gonna win the heisman next year so better get excited about him already yep yep all right uh let me see mr. j root thanks for the one ninety nine these fans thought cj was a bum then mccord came yeah i but we know it's funny Nevada i remember that after the Minnesota game i had fans buddies who won it cj strowel bidged for cal mccord and i was just like just listen man look cj strowel got so much crap here um i've already

56:04talked about this i'm not gonna go in a long spill about it but cj strowel was pretty darn good and he had to play through the cheating scandal he had to deal with the cheating scandal so keep that in mind but yep i mean fans are gonna fan uh mr. j root it's just again like Nevada said you said it perfectly i'm entitled to my opinion yes you are but think listen everybody can have their opinion all right because to me it's just like we can disagree but still i thought you know what i don't really agree with that but i understand the thinking it's logical it makes sense i don't come to that conclusion some of y'all just don't be thinking you just be talking and saying stuff without actually logically thinking it through to make sure it actually makes sense and it's actually feasible and reasonable some of y'all just be talking and that's what i push back against Nevada yeah i mean like we've had a history of being tough on our quarter i'm jt

57:05bear it nobody got more views more than jt bear it and jt jt bear it was one of the great you know college quarterbacks there and yeah cj in recent years so i i mean i guess we're you know and i just i just push back on the idea that you know and i know a lot of people really believe they really believe that it's just it's these high standards are holding the high standards that really makes Ohio state players and coaches great because you know we have such high standards and it's like man it's a weight of expectation can bury people and you know and it really has affected some coaches and some players in really negative ways and i just wish the fanbase would just torn it down just a little bit we can still have high expectations without you know pillering people every time they make a single mistake right it's the it's the entitlement it's the misguided entitlement but it is what it is jio did thanks for the five the entire cubic room will be better and more prepared because Arthur Smith is our OC when uh during the saint leaves

58:06taking on saint clear will be ready to step in being with Arthur Smith for a year yep i'm excited i got told you're early i'm excited about uh saint clear i think he has all the tools i think we'll he'll get some valuable reps this year you know uh coming in as some of these some of these games and so yeah i agree anything on that divided yeah i think it's going to be really really really interesting to see do they go and try to get a veteran quarterback or do they try to continue to run with a kid developed here you know what i'm saying and i think anybody's saying that they know for sure what way that's going to go right now is just kidding themselves because they don't know but i think that's going to be that that's going to really speak by if they go with the developed quarterback another again that's really something because that's going against the grain because everybody else is going to get in quarterback some of some of the school everybody and so it'll be really interesting to see what Ryan Day and Arthur Smith do and if they do go with tabian saint clear then they really believe because um you know that that would be the most ringing endorsement you

59:10could possibly imagine yep it's a new era it's nothing against TSC i mean he he is just where we find ourselves now but i don't know we're we're we're gonna see i think TSC is going to step up and force them to say hey we're going to go with you that's my prediction we'll see all right uh stilly mat thanks for the one ninety nine shout out to the scoop family y'all are so awesome yes yes y'all are i agree book out scoop families dope y'all bendo will always be dope best chat in the land got love for y'all Nevada well yeah shout out to steely mat because steely is is a special dude and the fact that he's always in here winging it and there's how it just don't think we don't appreciate it because we do we notice it we appreciate it and and you know like we appreciate it more than you know we appreciate it math thanks buddy absolutely steely mat the model of consistency and good character appreciate you uh geo did thanks for the five i equate caden curry to pete warner at a certain level mid four star kids who

1:00:14got better every year pete warner turned himself into a second round pick cc a third round to me yeah i like that yeah uh pete warner he definitely i still remember him smacking at the braska player adding a braska do you remember that hitting Nevada? i do i yeah i mean pete pete was a bad man i mean pete was a bad man he he went out there and and did it and sat terrific NFL career and really you know i i yeah p was a really underrated player on our state underrated and underappreciated i i definitely don't think the fan base game is due because he was he was a heck of a ball player yeah he was man and uh he's been doing well in NFL all right uh geo did thanks for the two if we make the 68 the brain dealer back shaking my head so um okay wow well this we see this differently well first of all i think based off of comments from york he didn't come out and directly say it but based off of recent interview it seems to me

1:01:15dealer was getting another year anyway that's just kind of me reading tea leaves but with that said if we make this if we make the tournament i mean that all i care about right now is making the tournament for Bruce Thornton there for this team this team has won the most in uh big 10 conference games in the last four years like this is the most they've won even with hopeman so i'm willing to give him another year and you know and see what happens uh especially if they make the tournament about him yeah i i i'm struggling with that mute button again no um i i i like i think he's i think he's a lot to come back um you know i if they make the tournament and the you're showing improvement i think you've got to bring him back i mean the only thing that i would often counter to that would be if you just had some home run higher in your hip pocket and i don't know who that is you know i'm saying i would you know but if you had a guy that they'd reached out to that said i've all come

1:02:19now's my time i could then you could make a move on up but short of that sort of short of having urban the urban buyer of college basketball in your hip pocket i think you give more group you give a deeper more time and um and i and i think he's certainly worthy of it yeah i agree and like i've said before i'm not banging the table for dealer to stay i'm not team dealer he has to stay that's my guy i just want them to fix it whatever you need to do to fix the program to where we're consistent again where we're you know making a tournament competing for championships that's what i want if that means leave uh dealer's gone fine if that mean excuse me dealer stays with more resources more nil more intentional than cool just fix it so that's how i see it but right now today i'm team buck high basketball and Bruce Thornton making this tournament that's where i'm at so all right uh let me see geo did once again thanks for the two blast for me
