2 Bald Nuts

Ohio State fires their head coach and goes out and beats the #2 team in the country Purdue (Purdont) Boilermakers. We're just as shocked as anyone, but how long does that energy boost last before the emotional collapse? Casey is on the Jake Diebler bandwagon, and optimistic OSU has a chance to make a run and get into the NCAA tourney, I do not. We talk about some of the football coaching staff additions and extensions. And David Silver, NBA commissioner, makes some interesting comments about college basketball and NIL. All that and our now infamous tangents are just a click away. 

What a day! Chris Holtmann is finally out as Ohio State men's basketball coach. We've been calling for this for several years now, some were late to the party, but this had to happen. Timing was a bit sooner than expected but this gives Ross Bjork and OSU time to do an extensive search, and we breakdown the candidates and our pick. Conversely OSU women's basketball continues to dominate up to #2 in the country, and we talk about a little thing called the Super Bowl. 

The Big Ten and the SEC decide to collaborate and discuss the state of college athletics... or they are working to separate themselves officially from the other conferences. They must have listened to our show! Buckeye basketball continues to suck, but the women are playing well and have a huge game today against Indiana. Bill O'Brien could be headed to Chestnut Hill to take the Boston College job, but could be more of a family decision than a football decision, which we would support. All this and more, with a little help from our friends.

Another game, another loss by Buckeye basketball, same story, another season under Chris Holtmann. Will new Ohio State AD Ross Bjork force his way past Gene Smith to get rid of him? He should, this program is going backwards. At least the #8 ranked Buckeye women keep winning. Casey and I take the gloves off and throw fists over Group of 5 conference schools creating their own playoff/championship. We talk NFL, as the SB is now set between the Niners and Ravens. 

Buckeye basketball hits rock bottom with an embarrassing 25 point loss at Northwestern, and it really wasn't that close. Women's team on the other end of that spectrum picks up a road win at Illinois in a potential trap game after their big win against Iowa last Sunday. Wrestling continues its dual-meet wins streak with a big one over TTUN and the #1 Women's hockey team dominates with another weekend sweep. NFL Conference Championship Sunday has arrived, the last "true" football games of the season. 

Buckeyes continue to hand out big bags of cash in CFB free agency, I mean the transfer portal,  as they should. Buckeye women get a huge win over Caitlin Clark and Iowa, Men's team continues to suck. We preview the NFL conference championship games and Casey gives his picks for the weekend. Tangent heavy as we wind down football season and get into the thick of basketball.

Ohio State introduces a new Athletic Director Ross Bjork, who is he and what does that mean? Buckeye basketball still sucks, this just copy and past each day as their January slide happens again. NFL enters the second round and some good and yet strange matchups, we discuss those and more. Let's get Nuts!

Winter has finally arrived as it's damn cold here in Columbus but the sun is out, blue skies and a light dusting of snow but the show must go on! NFL playoffs are underway and CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans put on a show. We also break down the college football post season player movement and coaching changes. Buckeye basketball continues their January descent. Buckle up, it's going to be a wild ride!

Welp, we didn't see some of these coaching changes, including the greatest college coach of all time Nick Saban retiring... for now, we don't think he's done, where do we see him landing? Buckeyes and Day making coaching changes as well and some more player movement and some juniors decide to come back for another run at scUM. And stay tuned for our breakdown of the Golden Girls... yes, that Golden Girls! 

Well, that was an embarrassing performance on Friday in the Cotton Bowl by Ohio State, specifically Ryan Day and the offense. It's not that they lost, they looked completely incompetent and ill-prepared in doing so. Clearly changes need to be made, we give you our take on what those should be. We also talk a little NFL as the Cleveland Browns clinch a playoff spot, and Buckeye basketball tried to give a game away against WVU.
