So I mean I'm like the offseason the offseason 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 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 seventh eighth night. 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 You know lost in Miami and boom at 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

5:11As 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 Fogo to get the Buckeye's 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 um In Brian's crib You did okay, yes 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've just thought you were going to drop by and grab the Buckeye's and bang out But I'm glad you got to go in there because it's definitely a sight to see in about him Yeah, that sounds I mean look sounds great and um Yeah, this is uh, the 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 um yeah, let's get into this great nugget from the scoop board

6:18All right, it's talking about the the buzz And uh, you know, a lot of good intel head into the spring And um, 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 cuz it's just so earth shattering. I just thought it was dope But wish your thoughts on the uh the nugget from the helping technician about some things Arthur Smith and Julian saying duo Ryan Day You know uh some players highlighted wish your initial thoughts on that nugget in Nevada Well, it's just gonna it's really gonna 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 offensive than you do You know, certainly is it you know stands and start contrast to where he was last year in 2025 and you know Arthur Smith has already come in Couple things that I noted and it was a bunch in there but there's a couple things that I'll highlight

7:20Maybe it won't say maybe they're not but one was You know, Arthur Smith now giving Julian saying the the ability to change protections up front Something he didn't have um last year and and you know part of that's You know, he's an experience you're part of that His bright heartlines and experience, but he was not able to slide protections Um to where he thought your pressure was gonna be coming from and now They you know Arthur Smith's already coming to look we're gonna we're gonna do this and this is gonna be one of the early installs in terms of the springs That's what they will expect to see You know throughout 2026 football You 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 gonna 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

8:24So I think it's it's gonna 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 um The second thing was you there was like a little saying that I thought was was great which is When in doubt put four in the route and um, you know last year they had a couple times where they would run And they'd run two-man routes or they'd run three-man routes and what what they're finding is when you run four-man routes It and one of those four men is JJ Smith it puts just so much pressure on the defense Um to cover like they can they may be able to cover move. It's a two-man route They may be able to cover into three-man 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 Say look, I know this puts some of our pressures on our guys up front But I think we can handle it I believe our quarterbacks mobile enough to be able to move around I think offensive one has been enough to block them up But we're gonna be putting four guys that are out with regularity and that is another change from last year's offense

9:28That'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 run it around him because he was the freshman hadn't played before this year He's the centerpiece. He's the trigger man. They're running everything through Julian and I'm excited to see you You know again spring football starts Tuesday, you know four days away We're all gonna get a chance to see it here relatively shortly But I think the Arthur Smith thing is gonna be a huge ad for Ryan Day and certainly a huge ad for the Ohio State offense I definitely agree and speaking of ad We have in addition to the coaching staff you mentioned online being better Well, this gentleman is going to help that Mateo Camboy Camboy 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 um the assistant who left

10:30He's gonna replace him. So remember we could have multiple coaches multiple assistants now So this young man will be coming in to help out in Nevada. I 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 filled by Mike Brewster You know great former Buck guy, you know the guy but then but look Arthur Smith's gonna bring in his guys This is a guy that Arthur Smith's had experience with He's comfortable with him. He's coached under him before and 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 map of churches 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 is 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

11:33But yeah before we kind of move on to the next part to the nugget that I told you I was excited about Julian saying um again, it's just funny Nevada. I 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? No, 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

12:35Some 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 first for a first year starter I can't even imagine how much better he's going to be this year, bro I mean 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 Keynes, 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 QB rating of 177.5 completion percentage 77%

13:36While also being third in the nation in yards per attempt. So like And getting and remember at the beginning of the year I'm like hey, Julian saying it's going to get invited to the Heisman ceremony in New York That was like the wildest thing. That was like oh Nevada's been drinking again Nevada. What's going on? I mean, he has a freshman eligible quarterback that invited to the Heisman ceremony Like how many how many times does that happen? I guarantee it's not not been often right I mean, I ought to go back and you know, you hit the Google machine or the rock machine or whatever But I have an a freshman eligible quarterback at the Heisman ceremony. I guarantee it hasn't happened that often I guarantee he's never happened for an Ohio State quarterback before ever So yeah to say he had a good see 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 It's kind of I mean 77

14:38Yeah 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 or Because I can't I'm telling you like I you know, I follow you see all the football I follow you see 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 as wacky in terms of crazy expectations You know fire Ryan Day Jim Nol sucks chip Kelly isn't any good You know, I mean this this kind of stuff I just I just hear this stuff and I'm like I just have to shake my head. I Is this Ohio State thing or is this just a crazy person thing? um I think we're among the the top of the food chain as far as the the crazy takes I remember Sabin always railing on fans and media at Alabama

15:43Right like the crate remember he used to talk about the crazy expectations So I think we're up there at in that air But yeah, the UCLA's an even USC can't compare To um the craziness here because USC and UCLA well you say LA 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 Where 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 but the high IQ in our fan base is great We have 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 dollars That's how much money and refunds the IRS flagged for possible identity fraud

I'm trying to explain that to what I what I see in this fan base We have great fans and I think herb she talks about the uh What is it the two the two percent? Um, I forget what you called it um Well, trust a problem is trust trust a problem miserable

18:49Yeah, he did and then he should have never walked that back. He should have said nope that I said what I said I'm politics 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 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, but It's just we discussed some some Goofies in our fan base man who have unrealistic expectations They'll try to pine 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

19:57Ridiculous with some of the expectations. So anyway Nevada you got anything on that well Yeah, just because I just look at like Julian Sandin like What more could you've asked out of a first-year starter at quarterback in Ohio State than what he did You know, I'm saying he should have been 78 percent He should have thrown no interception like like what where you know, where does it fall in there? You know like um I mean he had 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 run out of superlatives when you talk about the guy um All when he wasn't thinking and dunking down the field side is I just I mean I understand that there's a everybody's you know I always get this Nevada. I'm entitled to my take and I'm like yeah, you're done in your take, but if you're take stupid I'm going to say it's dumb So replaced Julian Sand just um, man, I just thought I'm just thought Even understanding and when he's gone when he goes the NFL Like I really hope the next guy is as good as he is

21:00Um, but because the standards can be really really really high In that quarterback room. Yep, 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 I that's one of the first things I said He's going to he needs to improve Ryan Day in 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 You 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 quarterbacks going to miss that could he know and have a better fill of the game of 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 uh Who's up next and I don't have any any trust in him

22:03Is 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 uh, I was like, yeah, this is dope is the new tradition Um from a 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 I 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 things but the the gold pants are an act I totally right I think that that should be a thing it should be you know during the time when you know

23:04When guys are gonna be there when you're in a position to get it and um 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 you know been here. He's the one of the elder statesman in the big 10 and in college football and in in general And he's totally comfortable changing when they do You know the fun the the band thing during Michigan You know, he's changed. You see in your tackle. I mean he's changed a lot of things about the traditions run Ohio State Um Yeah, because he didn't feel like it was kind of appropriate to the time and recognize the change But I like the gold 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 a little another run and I'm not sure when the next time Michigan's gonna be able to

24:04To step up and play with us when I think it's gonna be a bet Yeah, I definitely agree um, and they deserve another run Uh up on the scoreboard for sure after everything that transpired And then also a part of the nugga's 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 Okay, man. What 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 I would say the most complete prospect in the draft Some are saying the smartest matter fact. Let me pull this up. I'm not going to play the clip But you got you know, uh, Matt Patricia On interviews talking about how he's in it. Matt Patricia would know Matt Patricia would know he's been around some smart football players

25:07Okay, and he calls him the smartest player he's ever seen Um, you know coming out of college and so I would love to see Caleb Downs go and and do great numbers and and run the 40 and But I'm not tripping if you don't work out Nevada. I think he's going top 10 regardless Uh, 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 there was a picture of Caleb Downs Like a body shot of Caleb Downs of the uniform in this little sequencer with Matt Patricia Do you have that that it can you freeze on that? Oh, yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about Is like is this due to action figure? Like you Trying to Let me go back. It's right here. Okay, stop. We're all good. Yeah Well, one. Yeah, he's an action figure with two I can't get over the fact that they don't wear knee pants. There's a big thing wearing shorts out there

26:10Did you know I'm saying like that? That's like like like be Moses Langian 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 Yeah, now he he he certainly like yeah, he certainly looks the part, but um no. Yeah, he's definitely gonna be I absolutely think it'd be a top 10 pick. I there's actually a proposition that you can make on Whether Arval Reese is gonna be the second pick in the draft because you know, Mendoza is gonna be the first And there's a lot of noise about Arval Reese to the jets with the second pick and I think I think that's what I'm gonna go with as well

27:12But yeah, it's it's gonna be a very top heavy draft for the butt guys. I mean, it's gonna 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 gonna 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 But boy, we were deep in 2025. We had so many really good players and You know, gonna miss them, but none more than Caleb Downs and Caleb Downs was truly was the it's kind of a trade expression The old coach on the field expression, but he really was the coach on the field You know, he really was the guy that got everybody else in the right spot was you know

28:12I he might have missed one tackle at Ohio State and tired, you know, maybe you know, I mean like he was the human eraser Maybe miss one thing. I mean he he just saved so many big plays Um, and I just think he's just gonna be absolutely a fantastic pro, you know for some team and hopefully it's one of the teams that I root for because uh, he's just a fantastic athlete and fantastic player Definitely and real quick, uh, you mentioned Arville Reese to me Yes, you know, I'll stay up because I see comments like well, of course you guys you get all these five stars Listen man Arville Reese and Kaden Curry to me Nevada are the poster children for the prime examples of development Arville 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 hey, you know what? I think he could be a good football player out of Indiana

29:14He's nice like he was a good prospect, but not a five star camp miss guy and again before last year Thank you for calling the bombas comfort line bombas makes socks slippers tease and underwear made with the highest quality material Press one for comfort two for style three for donation You chose style bombas of styles for whatever you enjoy You can run in bombas lounge and bombas dress them up dress them down But always give back in bombas because with every item purchased another is donated bombas comfort worth calling for Go to bombas dot com slash audio and use code audio for 20% off your first purchase That's the oh mba s dot com and use code audio You're a pro at running your life at committing to your workout at showing up every day at bombas We're pros to pros at making socks our sport is urban has specialized socks for whatever sport you're committed to running hiking golf Pilates and so much more made with sweat wicking yarns Blister fighting details and targeted art support bombas sport is pro level socks from the pros of socks for another pro

What do you think his staff on his staff his draft projection was before the 2025 season for Kaden Curry just off the head

31:17I mean if I'd be honest, I would say undrafted free agent Yeah, that's my point exactly Yeah, my point exactly and now we don't know yet, but what do you think His highest Um, round he can go in The highest maybe the third Okay, okay, I agree. I think he could be a third-round pick to me. That is um, is that not amazing? Nevada For Kaden Curry to go third He's just one of those one of the guys that you know I think a football player like Kaden Curry somebody's going to get a steal there because he's a guy That's productive and you know, I I prize 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 Consistions 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 six

32:22It's first-round picks and undrafted free agents. So guys can come from all over the place and make teams And I think Kaden's gonna he's gonna be a later pick for some team And he's gonna be super productive and people are gonna be going wow where did this guy come from? Well, we know we've been saying it all but you were the one I mean in fairness I wouldn't that high end. I liked Kaden a lot as a person But I didn't think he was gonna be a great player in 2025 You did you were like I really think Kaden Curry's gonna 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 gonna go back and watch the games again Just because I'm just I'm crazy. I'm a crazy person But I went back and watched all of the games and I saw Kaden Curry making plays He was around the ball

33:24He 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 So I wanted to make the point that Ohio State is not just pushing out five stars who 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 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 gonna do wonder I mean not that Ohio State doesn't have a high enough brand profile with recruits But this one's really gonna put a stamp on it that you know The 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

34:27Like is it four in the top 10? Absolutely could happen it. I expect it to happen and that's just that that's insane that we're talking about it Yep, and then one other thing before we move on to Buckeye basketball Kenyatta Jackson Kenyatta Jackson you mentioned this yesterday and I think it was um 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 gonna 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 lineman But I think there's another level and I think he's he was knocking at the door last year And I think he's gonna 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 and The idea that he could take it from there were games where he did it well to where he dominates the whole season

35:31I 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 to 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's like oh great Kenyatta Jackson coming back I think it's a huge thing for a house that these back and I I expect them to have a massive season for us in 2026 Definitely definitely definitely I agree Excited spring ball starts next Tuesday March 10th.

That's B-O-M-B-A-S.com and use code audio Definitely I agree So listen what else is all an awful lot of fun is the fact that our Buckeye basketball team is peaking at the right time According according to the famous Joe Lanardi We are off the bubble For those asking because they're still debating about a are still people who are still trying to fill Oh, we got to win three more games 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 you see a lay maybe two teams that we both beat

39:46I 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 scorer on a holiday 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 you a nice scene in the big 10 tournament Go out with a bang as far as playing at home I think tomorrow's a big day for the dealer Bruce Thornton in this program for where they're at right now Nevada. What you got Yeah, no, I think it's it's been great. It kind of reminds you how fun it is when Ohio State basketball's playing good Because you know March has relevance again because when frankly when we're not in the tournament

40:49I know people love March bad is but when we're not in the tournament I'm you know my interest level goes down about 95 percent You know, so Yeah, I'm excited that you know that we have a chance to not make the tournament But I think we could surprise some people because you know lower seats have made ones 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 you know We're the kind of team that could give people problems Um in the playoff because we're playing so well right now and you know, that's yeah, that's that attribute to the coach and coach dealers We got the guys going and I don't see a start for the years you're senior point guard and having Bruce have a chance It's fitting that he become the all-time score The one thing I wish I wish we had A better home court advantage. I wish you know, I you know, I don't understand How a school like Ohio State Can't just have the most crazy basketball environments

41:50Out there I just I just don't understand it You know, like it's it's foreign to be understood my my background is professional sports specifically You know minor league sports where minor 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 they they can't just choice to come to that. I don't have state you how many how many kids you have on the campus Right 50 50,000 or what are you doing? Like you've got a captive audience of people there that are always looking for something to do And if you give them something to do and then make it fun and I thought and it's written in sport event There is absolutely no reason that bass you know, Ohio State basketball shouldn't just be mayhem every night Because I tell you my only baseball we can never control whether we want to lose In fact our teams and Dayton lost way more than they won, but we sold out every game You don't have to have it doesn't need to only be about winning of course winning helps

42:53But 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 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 shot in St. Zarina 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 I 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 and that's just the facts So there's that about it. I mean, I think that's the biggest thing is the venue difference, but you know

43:55Business wins in these situations Yeah, but you know, I know and I agree with you 100% I mean You know one of the biggest things that I when I advise majorly teams when I biggest things I say is always to cut back on seats You know, you know make them group areas do whatever you want to do but coach 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, I'm saying I remember when when Cleveland had you know old municipal stadium or what are you know? Yeah 80,000 seats and you know, they they fill up like one time a year for like fourth of July and other than that It was like empty you know, 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 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 It's kind of scary because you're right, but man we were right on top of the court And what a great basketball venue and I definitely think They they lost something when they moved from from St. John so the shot for sure

44:59Yep, they did know what that said You mentioned them making a run And it's funny because I saw a thread started on Buckeye scoop Sort of scoffing or kind of making fun at the Buckeye scoop twitter account For suggesting that this team can make a run 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 your thoughts on that? No, I don't I don't like you you're really gonna have you you gotta 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 like 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 strappy little team You know That to me is a something if we get hot if we're shooting the ball long we shot the ball extremely well and have been lately and 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

46:02I 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 mobility had 21 Byron on 14 royal 12 tillie seven against Michigan State Thornton had 32 tillie had 10 everybody else had single digits now. We didn't have royal and in a mobility That's a big deal But again Penn State Mobily on fire eight from nine from three 28 points Thornton 18 byron 14 royal 14 tillie 10 well spread out balanced 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

47:05Then 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. Mobily 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 a tournament and I'm excited for Bruce Thornton and respect the Jake Okay, because again You know all the criticism all the man is team sucks here we go again. He just kept they just team kept pressing kept pressing and now they're right there Um, I think it's like a 87% 80% chance to make the tournament. They're going to be Indiana tomorrow And I'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 going to beat them tomorrow and we're going to punch our ticket and I'm excited Nevada

48:06Anything on that before we go to superchats. 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 madness is just better when the buccas are in it and Yeah, I just I'm excited about march madness for the first time in a bit and then No small measure because Ohio State certain shoot the basketball so well. Hope that continues tomorrow Same here Still in math things for the one and nine trick daddy Billy D Moses head coach of the Jesus. I like it That's like a denarius Targaryen uh, you know announcement First of all first the rename uh, what what some of the andaws the unburnt the you know Just all the names that uh, we're giving but no that's dope once again still the mat coming through I got a question for you in that like yeah, how like like you know the guy that wrote like You know the thing like how does he come up with all these different

I mean just like okay Be 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 not even talking about the the the places Winterfell and all the different places that you come up with and the and the things that Happened in these places and very distinctive to these play. It's amazing

50:13Look at the book the book of the Kings 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, yeah, you are trick you are trick daddy Billy D Daddy Billy D I agree I still got to do I still got to do that edit man my Billy actually I tried to do a Billy D edit, but I didn't like the picture.

I'm one of those people It's a big deal, man So I'm prayers for Patrick and his family as he's here in the city and again shot out to Brian Fogel What a great guy Brian Fogel is a great dude He's just that he you know you can't sit out about everybody Nevada and so He's just he looked out for me and my son show showed my son love when we came through And um, so good dude he hooked them up with a chain too made him made him a custom Buckeye chain So shout out to Brian Fogel and God bless you Patrick Nevada you got anything on that? Yeah, God God bless you and God bless your mom and um, yeah Those are the hardest things ever you will get through it. You'll never forget But you can't move on but you never forget and it's always there with you

54:31Absolutely Geo did thanks for the five Julian saying it's QB1 period some of Buckeye nation needs to stop for real. Yep Yep 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 Boyle 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 cute like he's QB number one in all college football man Forget Ohio State. He's 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 route. Thanks for the one ninety nine. These fans thought CJ was a bum then McCord came Yeah, but we know it's funny Nevada. I remember

55:31That after the Minnesota game I had fans buddies who wanted CJ Stroud Bidged for Kyle McCord And I was just like Just listen man Look CJ Stroud got so much crap here um, I've already talked about this. I'm not gonna go in a long spill about it But CJ Stroud 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 route 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

56:34Thinking 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 bear nobody got more views more than JT bear it and JT bear it was one of the great You know college quarterbacks there and yeah CJ in in recent years I mean, I guess we're you know, and I just I just pushed 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 or holding to high standards that really makes a High-state players and coaches break 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 risked the fanbase, but 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

57:35Right, it's the it's the entitlement. It's the misguided entitlement But it is what it is Geo did thanks for the five the entire QB room Will be better and more prepared because Arthur Smith is our OC When during the St. Leaves Taven and St. Clare 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 St. Clare I think he has all the tools. I think we'll he'll get some valuable reps this year, you know coming in as some of these some of these games And so yeah, I agree anything on that Nevada 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 saying that they know for sure What way that's going to go right now is just kidding There's those because they don't know But I think that's going to be that that's going to really speak by it If they go with the developed quarterback another again

58:36That'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 David St. Clare then they really believe Because you know that that would be the most ringing endorsement you could possibly imagine Yeah, it's a new era. It's nothing against TSC. I mean he is just where we find ourselves now but I don't know what we're we're going to 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 Stilly Matt. Thanks for the one and I shot it to the scoop family. You're so awesome. Yes. Yes, you're are. I agree Buckeye scoop families dope y'all bendo will always be dope Best chat in the land got love for y'all in Nevada Well, yeah, and shout out to steely map because steely is is a special dude And the fact that he's always in here winging it and doing so just don't think we don't appreciate it because we do

59:39We notice it. We appreciate it and and we you know like we appreciate it more than you know We appreciate it Matt. Thanks, buddy Absolutely stilly Matt the model of consistency and good character. Appreciate you Geo did thanks for the five. I equate Caden Curry to Pete Warner at a certain level Mid-Four-Star kids who got better every year Pete Warner turned himself into a second-round pick CC a third round to me. Yeah, I like that. Yeah, Pete Warner He definitely I still remember him smacking at Nebraska player at Nebraska. 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 went out there and did it and sat terrific NFL career and really I yeah, he was a really underrated player in the Ohio State underrated and underappreciated I definitely don't think the fan base tape is due because he was he was a heck of a ball player Yeah, he was man, and he's been doing well in NFL

1:00:41All right 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 dealer 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 and for this team This team has won the most in 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 especially if they make the tournament Nevada Yeah Yeah, I I'm struggling that mute button again. No, um, I I look I think he's I think he's a lot to come back

1:01:43um, 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 will 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 now's my time I could then you could make a move on up, but short of that sort of sort of having urban the urban Meyer of college basketball in your hip pocket I think you give one or You give a deeper more time and And I and I think he's certainly worthy of it Yeah, I agree and like I said before I'm not banging the table for deeble to stay I'm not team deeble. 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 Deeble is gone Fine if that mean excuse me deeble stays with more resources more NIL more intentional

1:02:49Then cool just fix it. So that's how I see it, but right now today I'm team Buckeye basketball and Bruce Thornton making this tournament. That's where I'm at So all right, let me see geo did once again. Thanks for the two blast for me I never watched Game of Thrones laugh out loud my bad. You got to watch it and and give it Listen every show is going to you got to give the show a chance I don't think it starts slow per se But just watch it get into it and trust me. You'll be hooked Nevada Yeah, like I was the last person to watch gaming. I didn't watch it when it was like on I I only watched it in life after either that you know But it is the best series that's ever been on television I mean it is I mean and and that's coming from somebody who was not a throny not a person But yeah, you're right. We'll give it three four five episodes or whatever it is, but it's um It's an incredible show and it's it's it is the best show that I've ever seen in life. I've seen a lot

1:03:54But you know, it's the one that kind of let me wanting more and can't wait for the movie adaptation And I watch the night of the seven kingdoms every Sunday night now and I can't wait for the house of the dragon So it's it's pretty pretty intoxicating for sure Yep, the only one of the only other ones that compare is breaking bad Breaking bad is is up there great show um But yeah, Game of Thrones is just amazing. It's amazing And so Yep, you got to watch it got to watch it. All right Um, Dennis more and thanks for the 49 how about our lady bucks big game them are yep They got UCLA the one seed UCLA Tomorrow big game they look good. They've been they've been pretty consistent. They've been more consistent to the men's So shout out to them And there's another one from Donald Seals for thanks for the two lady buckeye's a rock and oh H Nevada I owe Yep definitely be uh, we'll be watching or checking out that um score at the very least

1:04:55Um to see how they do but yeah I'll be rooting for the lady bucks as well and about Yeah, I I need to get into him more. I haven't paid as much attention to him as I should but I definitely uh definitely Definitely need to be doing that and and I'm glad I'm glad they're doing well Definitely absolutely. Well listen listen listen Hope everyone has a great Friday night a fantastic Saturday buckeye's play And I was thinking about going to the game tomorrow and maybe I still might. I don't know. We'll see 530 tip off at the shot against Indiana senior day Bruce Thornton is 12 points away from breaking the all-time record uh become of the number one uh Scorer in a buckeye history. So huge game tomorrow uh tournament seeding implications Tomorrow can really seal the deal and solidify A tournament uh, you know spot Uh a way better seeding than anyone could think we would have had

1:05:57Two weeks ago in the big 10 attorney and because remember we still got a chance to get like even up to a seven seed Depending on how everything falls out. So Just to kind of leave y'all on that this buckeye basketball team Has went from dang man. They on the bubble. They might not make it again to If they win tomorrow, they can really solidify some things and be in a in a good spot for them And uh, I'm very grateful for that any last words on that Nevada. Yeah, now seven seed would be I mean look I'll take any seed but if it's somehow they slipped into a seven then Going in the sweet 16 would not be crazy at all, but um just get in there They're gonna be a problem to start with winning tomorrow. So go win tomorrow. You should go to the game to be Yeah, I was thinking about taking bj to the game. He hasn't been since he was like a baby And it's the last home game Um Now obviously I wouldn't I wouldn't be on the pod tomorrow unless we went later, but um, I don't know what we'll see I'm thinking about it. You think I should go. I'm really thinking about it man. I think you should go

1:07:00I think you should go and uh and bring the heat bring bring bring the enthusiasm cheer him on the victory and uh lead us into the tournament I might have to do that man. Let me hop on stub hub or whatever after the show Yeah, tick tick tick pick and tick pick the awesome sheepticket span like yeah, I'll see what's up, man You might even even even smarter be wait till about two hours before the game.
