Hit us up there, save us there and spreeker.com. Make sure you do that as well. Let's bring in the brother Nevada Buck. What's up good sir? Doing great. I've got to tell you I think I've been inundated with more information about spring football this year than I've ever been before. I mean I mean it's it's I feel like we have a front seat for spring football and I'm just so I'm so excited about this team so excited about what I'm hearing and because if it wasn't great you know I wouldn't like this on people but I wouldn't tell you it was great but I'm telling you it's crisp it's sharp it's pro style it's like they're preparing for games now not just going to spring football and it's different I'm just

2:05telling you it's different than it's been this is a different kind of squad really good squad veteran squad you're gonna really like this team in 2026 I'm super excited about it and and I'm getting that from multiple multiple multiple people and loving one I'm hearing yeah it's it's I like I was saying the other day they're likable even when you see them off the field or in the interview or clown and in a skit it's just like I don't know people like man so would you go to win games yes you got to win games but this team doesn't lack talent or experience or coaching ability but it's just the overall energy I don't know if all that stuff matters that stuff matters man because that goes into the locker room that goes into the field when you have that continuity and all the other stuff man so it's been fun it's been a fun spring to cover this team and to get the reports that we're getting so amen to that now speaking of that let's get right into it a really good nugget today on the Buckeye scoop board talking about the five stars of spring

3:09we're going to get into that we're also going to touch on some other things going on another black stripe was lost today we'll touch on that later but Nevada let's jump into this five stars of spring nugget and kind of giving me an introduction to that and we'll dive right into it well talking to the fifth wise man and and you know one thing that does fair repeating is that when people go to practice everybody sees different things so to you know you and I could be at the same practice and you may think five guys are great and I may think five other guys are great and I may think one of your guys thinks you know like these are opinions but these are learned opinions from somebody that I have a lot of trust in but I have a lot of belief in and it was you know I'd ask them for a series of names of people that we had really stood out to him and this is what he gave me number one was Christian Allegro you know Christian being a guy that I think a lot of people thought was being brought in his death you know obviously you've got you know we've got linebackers

4:13we've got Riley Patajon we've got Peyton Pierce you've got Tarvers off you know we've got guys that are here and you know maybe they're looking at him is like a depth piece and I don't know how much well people remember him but he was like I broke his arm against us and then like taped it up and came in in the second half with an airplane I mean so this is he's that dude and they call him for and he's a guy and according to the fifth wise man he thinks he's one of the five best defense defense players on the team already that he thinks he he thinks he's an absolute sure fire starter for a high estate and that's not a knock on Pierce that's not a knock on offer then certainly not a knock on Petajon who Petajon even though Petajon is injured you know Petajon is very careful he's going through the drills he's going through this stuff you know he's wanted to turn it he's not like detached on the team he's right there but he's just saying Allegro looks like an absolute dude and a guy that you know I I had always noticed when we put

5:14against Wisconsin got that made plays on a Wisconsin team that was pretty you know underband he was a guy that always stood out and I you know a guy that we think is going to be a starter for us they certainly notable certainly one of the big five stars is framed for all safe up all 2026 yep I was listening to that story I put the picture this is the thumbnail but that's a picture of Christian Allegro coming back into the game after breaking his arm against Ohio State I believe I'm pretty sure his story was it was against it was against Ohio State and he just got it wrapped up came right back out you see it on his arm and yeah so he's a tough kid I mean he he sounds like a tough kid he looks like a tough kid you know I'm saying he looks the part for sure and that's I mean you know you can't just breeze past breaking your arm and going back in and playing linebacker I mean that's pretty tough and that obviously really got Ryan Day and James Laird Knight is his

6:16attention and James Laird Knight just thought he was a good player on film tough physical he's experienced but interesting Nevada not completely interesting but still interesting I heard he was he said he's been playing mostly outside linebacker a lot of will in the spring and I know they cross-train but I was thinking he would be playing more green dot more Mike although I know they're going to try him there what was your thoughts on that well I think Ohio State could very well be looking at multiple linebacker sets you know because they've got guys that are so versatile and and and Christians particularly that that rushing the quarterback you know you know some guys have a knack for doing that and not everybody does not it not every linebacker is a good pass ruster but a leg grow is and I think they like what you know he brings from that spot as well so I think for Ohio State they're seeing the versatility they really like him he's a guy that you

7:17know could could play any if you play all three positions you know I'm the for the linebackers but you know we've got a good linebacker James Lornais has done a heck of a job because I'm telling you I don't want to you know to rail the nugget but tarves all fours of dude as well all fours really good and obviously you know how I feel about Peyton Pearson while he pediged on so we've got some guys that can play they're all versatile they can all do different things but Christian a leg of guy you're just these are the types of guys you want to add in your room veterans tough guys guys are gonna you immediately integrate into the culture what you're doing guys that can help you win right now it's really really excited about what he brings to the football team this season yep this man James Lornais who I just again I love that we have him on the staff I've told y'all it before great dude great coach he checks all the boxes literally I mean he's future head coach material honestly he might low key be more future head coach material than Brian Hartley

8:18like real talk love this guy with that said yes he mentioned offer today and said he's gotten so much better just talked him up and I mean we like you said we got some guys man I know we haven't seen production from some of them but they looked apart it sounds like they're doing their part so yeah very excited about this line linebacker room and also Allegrio bringing in his experience and toughness to this room and I want to see Peyton Pierce Peyton Pierce to me was solid to okay last year he didn't blow me away but he wasn't like bad he was solid I want to see him step up and be like the leader like the guy so I'm looking forward to that tune about him well I mean look I I felt about Peyton Pierce a lot about how I kind of felt about Arvo Reese in 2024 you know I'm saying thought it was a good player you know like them a lot you know I'm saying but was I looking at him and going oh yeah the surefire top of the draft you know no way you know I'm saying no no way

9:21no out but we've got some really good looking young linebackers on top you know you're remembered since they're John I mean we we've got a lot of guys now and to your point about Laura Knightis over Hartmine as they I think the only thing Laura Knightis has got that's going against him in terms of being a head coach is he's a defensive guy and I primarily prefer to have offensive guys as a head coach just oh that's a personal deal flavor of mine and when you consider the greatest you know coaches of all time Sabin Belitech were both defensive guys it doesn't necessarily need to be that way just a personal preference of mine but in terms of deportment and just kind of how he carries himself and his demeanor no comparison between Laura Knightis and in Hartmine Laura Knightis and he's a plus plus just he's super super super super solid and a guy he's absolutely going to be head coach somewhere in the future could it be at Ohio State not that's not the craziest thought in the world yeah I agree Laura Knightis

10:24will have to come in and he would have to hire a fire offensive coordinator obviously but yeah he has all the chops outside of that what we're used to for sure for sure and there's Peyton Pierce but um yeah so what else we got man I know Will Smith Will Smith Jr. I know that really I told you I love the story of his dad and God rest his soul Will Smith Sr. who was murdered I believe in New Orleans and like a traffic incident just ridiculous sad and tragic and now you have his son who a lot of fans thought was just a legacy throw-in is turning heads he made plays last year as a freshman and now he's making more plays taking on double teams um you know destroying blocks I mean man Nevada I don't think this is being talked about enough in my opinion to have a kid like Will Smith Jr. to have the potential to be a record and an actual impact player after what his dad did here

11:28for those who are too young Will Smith Sr. his dad was here for the 2002 national championship he was a key cog on that defense and that defense was full of cogs but he was a monster on that defensive line and so to me this is just a fantastic story I'm rooting for Will Smith Jr. To be good because I want my team to be good but man the story Nevada if he really just steps in and does what we think he's gonna do well I think people are a lot of people are too young to remember in my opinion and I know this is kind of having these discussions about the greatest of all time and different positions you know it's all your perspective but to me Will Smith Jr. was the greatest defensive end to ever will Smith you know so it's a greatest defensive end to ever play at Ohio State no argument I won't argue you know what I mean I mean that's that's how that I guess every better than chase young better than the bosses that I mean I just think that's where he sits on the Mount Rushmore mine so um his son didn't really know a lot about him

12:31coming into Ohio State and thought you know early on people were saying yeah he can contribute good player now they're saying he's to do and and to the fifth wiseman he's got him above everybody on the defensive line not named Edgar Houston or Kenny out of Jackson that's that's where he's got Will Smith you know and he just thinks Will's gonna be terrific not not a depth piece not an occasional guy not a guy that can contribute but a guy that can like ball out a guy that can like handle you know first team reps for Iowa State and in national championship season that's how good Will Smith has been and um again one of the great stories here you know in the season not only surprising because he did flash some last year but he's certainly taking another step noticeably bigger noticeably thicker and uh absolutely spout at the point of time yeah man you you may get some arguments from some of these young fellas about uh putting Will Smith over the bosses but listen and it's not the bosses were great chase young was great

13:33go back and watch Will Smith man not only could he and I might pull his numbers out I don't remember how many career sacks he had but he was a terrorist on that defensive line against the uh rushing the quarterback and stuffing the run like both he was the elite at both so I don't know get me fired up and that was my guy man that brings back great memories watching Will Smith play for how steak so let's kind of move on um Earl Little he still he still gets I mean he's still getting the praises I mean he's just handling his business it's just it's like sometimes a kid comes in and you're just a dude it's just like everybody just sees it like man as dude is he's just he's just a guy like what do you say to that he's making all the tackles he's hitting cats he's do it because it's one thing Nevada to come in and be physical and aggressive all he can hit but also know where you're supposed to be listen to instructions and follow through the coaching he's doing all of that from what we're hearing Nevada well yeah and I think he's just I know some

14:38people who thought he'd be in the in the slot or I think he's I think he's the second starter next to McLean I mean I just think you know the broker story is a great story and maybe maybe he edges them out um you know you know who knows but Earl Little's really get you know Earl Little's really is really good and the players know who the players are and they're like man this this guy's really good player you know obviously coming from the program that he did and he's well credentialed he's experienced he's a veteran he's been there before and um I I I was excited about him when we got him I'm really excited about him now because I've heard it from about four different sources that are all talking about Earl Little like there's like no question in their mind that he's a starter they've got him in starter and ink coming into the fall you know obviously short of injury or some craziness like that but I think I think he's going to be terrific bars I think he's going to be a key cog and he's the prototype of what you're

15:39going after in the portal veteran guys from big schools that been in the games before know how to conduct their business can step right in no he's not Caleb Downs but really good player and uh I really can be a really productive piece for the 2026 defense right and that's a good point I mean he's not Caleb Downs but we have to we kind of have to get over that uh and I'm talking to myself we've been so spoiled he may be the best safety at least he's in the amount rush more of our stay safe these offer it like that's not even a debate we can debate who who is better Mike Dawes or him I still think he's better than Mike Dawes and I love Mike Dawes I don't say that lightly I want y'all to hear me I'm like I love Mike Dawes okay you can't tell me nothing about Mike Dawes you talk about smacking a cat coming up in the box and smacking and then also playing pretty pretty solid coverage Caleb Downs is unreal and so yeah man we are still going to be really

16:40really good on the back end because I've been saying McLean does not get enough love I keep saying that he's really good now he needs to take another step okay but what we've seen so far as a true sophomore was very impressive so yes I like it I like it all right Kyle Parker all right now I know your source is a saying they think he's the number two receiver right now which to me makes sense I think seeing him on film and also his production I can understand him put him in front of in his being is now we expect in us to break out this year and take another step but Kyle Parker I mean go watch his film at LSU I mean he looks like the second most reliable receiver on this roster if you just look at the film and then honestly McEwan Devon McEwan is like right there as well some of these other guys we see the potential and the flashes and they're coming but they got

17:44to produce and but Kyle Parker has produced at LSU and so I'm excited about this kid and I think he's going to do a lot of damage especially underneath quick screens stuff like that Nevada yeah no um and and keep in mind you know when I was asking about the White receivers um and this is just full disclosure here like my source loves bringing in it's just thinks Kyle Parker is going to be a little better yeah it's going to be a little better um I had good things to say I'm about McEwan had great things to say about Chris Henry um was excited about the Brock Boyd hype but thought it was a little bit of hypey hype on Brock Boyd he's like he's a good player but but let's cool our jets a little bit on but this is again this is what makes it's great is that people have opinions you know right everybody has opinions about everybody's not great everybody's not the best everybody's not ready to contribute but um he's like Kyle Parker in his opinion was

18:44the clear number two obviously right now like they lined him up right now you know obviously you've got the the taradactals James Smith um literally the Marma Duke whatever we want to call him but uh he said he had Kyle Parker's too and um you know obviously there's a lot of football up to be played but you know I like the fast the the fact that we're faster at that I feel like we've been just lacking some speed on the outside and that's not to say our guys are slow but that you know that we're just you know lacking those boners and um just nice to have them and you know I think that from what I'm getting from everybody it sounds like Chris Henry Chris Henry's trajectory is going to be more kind of Marvin Harrison which you remember like Marvin Harrison waited till the end of his freshman year and then broke out in the Rose Bowl that year when when a lobby and Wilson were out and then kind of went out you know what I'm saying I think that's kind of the expectation for Chris Henry it's not like he's going to hit it game one

19:48and BJJ Smith you know what I'm saying but that doesn't make him a bust that doesn't make him a disappointment that doesn't make a let's write him off look it's just everybody's got a different arc and look this is all subject to change but that's kind of the trajectory that they they they look at Chris Henry they're like Marvin Harrison Jr and if anybody's disappointed by that comparison then I really don't know what to say you know I'm saying you crazy crazy so um but yeah so Marvin Harrison is only going to be or Chris Henry's only going to be Marvin Harrison Jr that's that's quite a diss isn't it yeah listen let's let's keep trying to guide Buckeye nation into a safe space mentally because yes okay there's your source want me to to dial back the hype behind should I take away the uh played at a funky music bro should I should I dial that song back now is that too much hype but I think I said we lean into that man we just get on with it to that I'm sorry it's

20:48in my head it's it's rent free in my head um so listen even with the boy thing it's just like we're not expecting him to come out year one and just you know be a monster we just hear and everybody can see that this kid was underrated very skilled he's doing all the right things right now and he he should be really really good does that mean he's going to come out this year and be Anthony Gonzalez or whatever our signs in Baka in his third fourth year um no I mean look let's be on Anthony Gonzalez was an Anthony Gonzalez's first year exactly you know Anthony Gonzalez was just a guy buried on the depth chart that frankly nobody really knew a whole heck of a lot about you know what I'm saying so it's like yeah I mean look even Chris O'Lava or he was nobody knew Chris O'Lava wasn't they blocked that timing as mentioned him exactly I mean he went through it he went through 11 games and nobody even knew his name casuals no offense but there are casuals that exist did not know we knew who he was because he made a couple catches

21:51during the season like he made some catches like okay the freshman like he made a catch but that Michigan game people was like 17 who was this kid like I mean we you know we follow recruiting but the point is Marvin Harrison broke out and was I stud and the role is about the end of the year his freshman year O'Lava became an instant household name and stud against the team up north at the end of the year maybe Chris Henry Jr. will you know emerge sooner than that in the season but the point is don't expect JJ Smith arc from Chris Henry Jr. He's just JJ Smith is a class five mutant okay all the mutants there's different levels to this and that's all we're saying about him no and I said this before but there was one person a predicted Marvin Harrison to have three touchdown catches in the Rose Bowl big go that was you buddy I remember that I'm like you have three touchdown catch me like three touchdown catch me

22:51I got one three touchdown catches now did you wait your net did you make anything off of that no I didn't I wish I would have I did yeah I did yeah I didn't I didn't have fan duels I didn't have those like props that I could do anything at the time and yeah that was 120 what year was it yeah yeah remember when it was yeah I remember twenty one twenty two whatever was but you know those Rose Bowl's always confused me too because it's like it's like the end of one year and the beginning of the year so it's like is it is it this year or do you call it this year what it's right so confusing yeah I think it was uh I think it was a 2022 year going into 2023 I think it was played in 23 I don't know who cares anyway you now to know I wish you would have made some bread off of it but it's all good um so the fifth cat here and this name has been buzzing with us in buckeye scoop dominated Kelly the corner out of Georgia remember Nevada when we did a show weeks ago when we first got him I don't know if I'll put the screenshots on the screen or if I read it off my phone but Georgia fans were salty that he left and went to a house

23:59you know how some guys like oh you can have them even if they're lying and Nevada like they try to play like you can have them you know who cares just to say face Georgia fans on their message boards Nevada and everyone was salty they lost this kid dominated Kelly I mean to me like he's already he's turning ahead he's very impressive Devon has interviewed him Devon interviews everybody I mean he's great at that um you know he's been in contact with his pops so the Kelly family you know and scoop have linked up but listen this kid is nice man he has the he has the length the size the athletic ability he played in eight games as a freshman at Georgia you know I'm saying at Georgia Kirby smart defense Georgia so this kid man I think we really got his one Nevada with dominant Kelly I think he's I think he's our number three cornerback right now it's crazy you know it would which is kind of crazy kind of crazy but not really that on it like it's like you said

25:02and that's kind of the position you played in Georgia last year yeah Georgia plays they play some defense you know I'm saying so this was a really good get for a house state one little thing kind of a side nugget not really related Dominic Devon I'll move it back down to Kelly is I'd say you're asking our number one cornerback is right now it's Devon Sanchez over Jermaine Matthews I can see that there's one for you right there's I think you know and again that's not that remains been bad I think Devon's making a move I mean I think Devon's becoming the guy that we all want him to be the guy that we all thought he would be he's starting to be that and last year I know he had some games where some things happened and it wasn't exactly the way you'd want it to happen but that happens sometimes a freshman I can remember Antoine Winfield giving up a touchdown pass in the in the Rose Bowl against errors on a state and you know that's that's what happens you know I'm saying but I think for for you know we've got we're blessed we've got Sanchez and Matthews back but Kelly's your third man this kid this kid's gonna be good he's

26:06gonna be really good definitely has the swagger definitely is the it factor a confidence and a an experience and a maturity that goes way beyond his years so I I think if you say who was the home run hit of the portal season for a high state I think it's dominant Kelly I think that's you know a lot of great hits you know a lot of guys that are gonna do it but I think he's I mean he's gonna be special and and super excited to be having one with him yeah and when y'all get a chance go check out the interview Dev did with Dominic Kelly I'm not sure if it was on both channels book our school and book our boys either way check both and and and if Dev if you're out there let us know check out the interview he's very impressive very impressive kid and so I'm looking forward to hopefully Dev and my jumping of gun I'm hoping his pops will get on the show you know I'm saying I want to hear from his dad get his perspective he obviously raised a great young man so I'm very excited and then yes I see it was that

27:08still he maddened chat uh who said yeah ten minutes yeah I mean we got some some young corners who are turning heads and getting real respect from guys like JJ Smith JJ Smith straight up said ten minutes is going to be special here JJ Smith said that like I don't know to me that that's that's significant for the best receiver in the country number one overall NFL draft pick probably talking about a freshman corner is going to be special here I thought that was great so yeah we got some we got some young guns man and I'm very excited about a Nevada well yeah and it's I mean this is a position that you know young guys can play they can come in and do stuff right off the bat and I think you know for a high estate look you need to have you really need to have three number one corners you know what I'm saying like you need to have three guys that can go out there and lock down um you need to have statues for versatility but you got to have those three corners and you can't get away with two and you certainly can't get away with one so I I think dominant Kelly in my opinion consider what we lost in the portal might

28:14have been our most important addition in terms of doing it and and just because you've got to have you don't have that third guy man you can get exploited over and over again oh yeah I think he's a guy that he's doing that that can absolutely plot yep that is huge all right so we're going to shift gears to some announcements and some things going on and you know what spring and like strike lost and also some clips some funny clips that I want to share with you but before we do wanted to shout out our good friend Toledo geo great friend of the show um he is asking for some assistance if for those who want to donate towards his brother's funeral services here is his cash app right there I put it on the screen so you can see listen funny dude always has us cracking up with super chats constantly here just going back before you know doing this thing our condolences are with you Toledo geo for your loss first and foremost so um we appreciate you and so anybody interested in donating I know I will when I get

29:16off of this live I will do that myself but wanted to show love to Toledo geo we appreciate you and we pray and I know I'm praying for your family brother anything on that Nevada yeah um just you know I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm not I'm not sure if it was his son or his brother oh I'm sorry I'm sorry only son I see it there sorry I think I think it was and just just terrible just you know I'm gonna I'm gonna help out as well and anybody that can we're a family here and anybody that can help out encourage you to do and just just so start for your loss and and break breaks my heart absolutely and again my apologies for that Toledo but yes his only son which is I can't even imagine man can't not even imagine but again our hearts are with you Toledo geo and your family all right and if y'all need me to put this back up later I will

30:17um but just let me know all right so we mentioned a black stripe being lost by a player okay for those who don't know I'm gonna show you who that was gonna pull this up so we can take a look and again this black stripe thing is interesting hold on quay all right so that was quay rassal quay rassal who lost his black stripe Alabama okay so which is interesting again me and Nevada talked about this the other day with the black stripe so it's funny James Smith has been a buzz in spring camp I mean

31:20everybody talking about him how he's you know just killing it doing well whatever but yet quay rassal lost his black stripe before James Smith and it goes back to what we were saying that losing your black stripe I don't think should be minimized as oh just whatever there's something to it but to me I think it's a strategy eat I was told by someone in the coaching staff the the coaching the actual uh the coaches for each room like they have a big say and who gets their stripe off you know I'm saying like Lachlan has a big a big say and legend beg gets his stripe removed because that's his position coach and there's certain things that coaches want to see for their players that they feel like they need to be pushed a little further even if they've been killing it all they've been really flashy they've been doing but there's something else they want to see them do or they feel like they need to push them a little further before giving them that you know to take the black stripe off because it's going to be beneficial for them not a lot

32:20it's just coaching so anyway very interesting but what's your thoughts on quay rassal losing his black stripe number one and then losing it before James Smith it's just something you know something like I always say it's just it's just something I think it you know look they like both those guys from Alabama they they think both those guys can play both those guys can contribute you know I'm quay I'm thrilled about it because I know James Smith is a dude I know he can play I'm not sure if quay rassal can play but this makes you feel better about him is ability to play and I think he's a guy that I think there's mixed reviews on um you know formal high estate I there's some guys are really high on them other ones are like not so sure now I I got to say these are the same people that I'm I vividly remember when will cast Merrick came to a high estate and I'm like hey what what about this will cast Merrick him and like uh just just a guy you know just just a guy you know and then he turns out to be

33:23a will to be stopped there you know and one of the most valuable players so yeah you just never know but really glad to hear um but he's got his stripe removed really excited to do because he he's a pass fresh guy and if we've lacked anything in recent years it's been pass fresh and I think one of the keys to this year with Patricia Patricia's going for more chaos he's going for more negative plays more tackles for losses more turnovers more sacks you know and a guy like this he's a guy that can kind of bring it some I was really excited to see him lose his black stripe yeah and and here we again for those who are new to the show we have a resident Bama fan road tie for life okay he said every night shout out to road tie for life man shout out to to this cat um you know just for all you do such a nice do he's a Bama fan but he rocks what is heavy and I love that he said we saw as more talented in Smith I follow both of Alabama Rassau missed five games last season because of injury he will have a great

34:24upcoming season if he could stay healthy now he told us this a few weeks ago about the injuries and and how Rassau was just had a higher ceiling but like Nevada said that's just amazing because James Smith is getting all types of praise from coaches players media everybody and so and then he follows up with uh Rassau as a freak athlete who's very versatile so I mean because again a lot of people thought okay well Rassau okay well we'll take him to and you know he might be all right so this is just this is just great great great news for sure so um yeah I'm happy about that who we did who was our guesses our our guesses were James Smith to get the next black stripe James we both said James Smith and Chris Henry Joe here you said Chris Henry Joe you're it and then I said offensive player did I say McEwen you said quay Rassau that's it you said B you said quay Rassau and I'm did I say quay Rassau no but I just wanted to be I wanted to make you feel good

35:27I don't think I did that go back and check the archives like am I am I a genius am I getting no I forget I think I said McEwen but uh but we were both wrong quay Rassau look at that so my next guess let me see let let's try this again we struck out I'm gonna go Chris Henry Jr now I didn't say that you can't still you can't still you can't still you can't still everything the board is representative out of the board is oh my gosh this is terrible this is oh man but there's like there's a good one dev in a chat this mentioned somebody who who's an obvious guy we just mentioned next you can still that one can you see that's why you can't see the chat I can't see the chat this is what he said Dom Kelly oh yeah yeah I see I see I see for some of us I forget the guys haven't had their black stuff removed yet you know I'm saying yeah I'm gonna steal I'm gonna steal Devon's answer and move him off the board and go with Dom and Kelly and this one

36:30and Devon's gonna pick another guy yeah no I like it I like it um be Moses going out in the limb one out whatever hey look hey don't you want all I know is sweet sweet victory when he gets that black stuff removed um okay okay all right so look couple more things where we get to these super chats which are starting to come in couple a nice funny things here man like first of all I was very pleased to be able to see the personality well actually I could use this intro for both of these clips I'm gonna show but for this one the personality of the OC from the Pittsburgh Steelers Arthur Smith cannot believe you wear tights I mean I just that's important we gotta get this like there's two new guys with tights like how are you gonna be a pretty nasty physical line and you're wearing tights come off the ball patience little patience there it is that's it back don't cut this is major PhD guy in economics right I mean the other guy tights look at this

37:38they might go we're a back clapped in my gambling he's just he's just a goodie guy from Finley Ohio it's all grit you know I mean it's old school other than the fact that he a hundred percent got a spray tan the other day we get the kevans they're tough in your seat yeah yeah no man yeah it's just this and curls when we come out here he'll doesn't wear tight y'all I'm saying Phil it's a real man's man that's I'm gonna get to you guys in tights he was awesome he's the best today mate good day mate good to see you buddy look it in look it in give me the next group ready push the ball good we're good no way match volume is wearing tights I love it man I absolutely love it it's funny because I didn't know nothing about Arthur Smith before he came here and about I'm not a Steelers fan I knew who he was I knew he existed I just didn't know much about him and so seeing his sit down interviews with the media he really didn't give much he was you know it's like okay I'm fulfilling my obligation you know he was

38:41on some Martian Lynch I'm just here so I don't get fine type stuff but in that video I mean that was legit like fun and funny and he was just you know getting aftroom I loved it man Nevada is that your first time seeing that I did you see it earlier I have seen it but it was great and you know I mean Arthur Smith was the offensive alignment himself he played the position you know so he's got an offensive line first mentality and you know I've got a nugget coming tomorrow but I'll get guys little preview nice our offense lines our offense lines are really good our offense line give it really good and and I'll go through it tomorrow but like our second team offensive line could start for over half the teams in the big time that's that's how deep we are that's how good we are it's gonna be the running game is going to be vastly improved this year vastly night and day convert a lot share yeah I'm I'm excited man I'm so excited about that

39:43looking forward to the nugget and if y'all have not got a subscription to buckarscook.com go get you one now go get it now these nuggets are aplenty nuggets galore information galore great discussion galore I'm gonna keep using galore till you get annoyed galore galore galore it's a lot okay make sure you do that and I'm excited about this nugget tomorrow in Nevada was you about to jump back in no just um yeah again I I do I'm just loving when I'm here and I'm loving when I'm here and and and uh you know I just I'm excited to see the Arthur Smith influence on an offense I think having an adult call the offense is gonna make a big difference for our state absolutely all right now for our next clip of someone showing their personality I absolutely loved this this is your man's Jeremiah Smith and his new commercial freaking hilarious hold on it's taken us a little bit of time to adjust since JJ came back into

40:47the office man not on your last year of cool but I don't know he's making all weird for some reason you know what's up boss I know you started a game last night in my parlay almost uh hit you're tired you're tired now I have to answer to a 12 year old he just bullies me all the time excuse me mr. O'rod you mind uh doing a release for me yeah I do this release wait that is a good release he overworkses we haven't been home in over a month and we ask him why he always says because what's our company motto love it absolutely hilarious well done it reminds you of

41:48the old school ESPN commercials great marketing great commercial I love the tie all of that Nevada wish your thoughts bro yeah it's just it's fun to see JJ kind of spread in his wings and Adam you know he's a quiet dude and you know he's a guy that doesn't say much um you know he that that's why he's so that's why he loves Chris Henry Jr. because Chris Henry Jr. maybe quieter than JJ like Chris Henry don't say anything which is kind of funny when you consider you know who his dad was and who he's raised with the Pac-Man you think he'd be like out there chatting on like he didn't say anything so those guys have a lot in common from a uh from a talking standpoint so it's just fun to see JJ do that and kind of come and into his own and um I'm already missing him I know he's only got a one year left here and we got a whole year to go through but um it's going to go too fast seems like he just got here yesterday and dropped his first pass remember that he's dropped that first pass from yeah from uh from Will Howard could have taken it out so that that tunnel screen and uh he the kid turned out okay turned out okay I was at that game

42:54I was there in the stadium and uh you know when you see when you see a play from the stadium perspective is much different than and uh when you're watching on TV because you can see the open space you can see the green I saw the green the Nevada's not exaggerating that was lit that was a straight up tuddy if he catches that easy now you talk about head swollen like you can't get no better than that he would have scored uh he would have been all right you may live you wise but yep he definitely turned out all right okay let's get to some super chats um still he mad thanks for the one I know Swiss Miss Doppler and chunky buck have you weighed yourself in Nevada uh have have you dropped any pounds so far you just kind of down to 223 down to 223 so uh making some service I'm wondering how much of that was like water weight from the week you know I'm saying like that as it's like you know I mean I because I just don't believe you can lose this much weight this quickly it had to be something I think was stress eating and water weight and and

43:59depression after losing you know over time I'm still a little depressed about that not going to lie but I'm getting I'm about 99% over it so I just thought I want that lie from a I'm a big Austin Powers guy remember what fat bastard was like I eat because I'm not happy you know but you don't put that lie yeah and then he farted and then they looked at it like you just go fart after that like anyway sorry we're moving people here okay especially comedies anyway all right we'll be gotten next geo did thanks for the five at the combine the ass sunny styles it was the next breakout linebacker the season he without hesitation said Peyton Pierce yes I have also brought this up absolutely you can't get no more of a stamp of approval than that and so I just want to see it I want to see Peyton Pierce step up and just be a dog he was solid last year but let's see him step up I have full confidence you will especially with James Lorenight is coaching him but yeah about anything on that well again just just look at the context clues look at it and kind of go okay

45:06how good and just good talented whatever you want to call loaded was the 2025 defense and you know you could probably you know you can make an argument for being best in school history you know I'm saying I mean you know what one of the best ever and and who played you know who played more Peyton Pierce Riley Patigian Charles it was it was Peyton Pierce yeah so the context clues are there and you know that was Maddie Patricia and James Lorenight is his opinion of who they wanted to put out they chose him for a reason so I think you know he's a good if you're betting on horses that's a good horse to be betting on I mean they're all good but I think you know Peyton you know certainly a guy that it's certainly going to be watched because he was certainly the leader in the clubhouse last year in my opinion absolutely yep like you said it's all there this the stage is set he just needs to step on it and take it to another level and I have confidence he will still he mad thanks for the one I nine Will Smith 2002 and 2003 big 10 defensive player of the year

46:08legend yeah if y'all don't know who Will Smith is go watch you to go watch the Miami game the one they're still crying about that they did not atone because they did not raise a national championship trophy yeah you beat us in that game but you didn't win the trophy at the end like we did so you we still broke yeah Miami fans but anyway yeah go check out Will Smith Jr. Not even just the Miami game but just all his career he was a monster Nevada I said it before but there is nobody ever in the history of costume all this been held more than Will Smith was he was held he literally was held on every play every single play he was that good he was that impactful for yeah for the younger people go back and and watch him because that was the golden era of Ohio State defense you know 2002 2003 and defensive player year both years I mean come on it's unbelievable yep unblockable I mean but listen he was a monster but go I mean he was just manhandling Miami's offensive line and y'all have to understand the context Miami just won

47:14a national championship the year before in dominant fashion we were what 13 well we might as 13 Nevada in that game well they they'd won 35 games in a row yeah yes yeah so yeah they were they were they were on quite quite the quite the burner there and they already had flyers remember the whole they had party flyers out to celebrate before the game I mean we were like they like David Goliath like for real our offense it was a trestle offense Clairette was cooking but he was a true freshman Krenzel was a you know a tough gritty guy but he wasn't CJ Stroud you know me like nobody expected as the one outside of Columbus and our defense just absolutely destroyed them dudes and Will Smith was at the lead shout out to that 2002 defense man C Grant you out there man what up bro Matt Wilhelm just I mean I can go on and on and on and on just great defense Mike Dawes
