Hangout in the Holy Land: Ohio State

The Big Ten has sent a team to the playoff both years we’ve had one, and with Michigan getting a ton of preseason love, Ohio State set to promote a zillion four and five stars, and with Michigan State fueled by white hot DISRESPECKT and Malik McDowell, there are multiple candidates to get the conference a playoff bid for the third year in a row.

But all three of those teams, along with other would-be Big Ten contenders, have significant questions about their roster. Is it possible that this is the year the elite of the Big Ten beat each other up a little bit, and keep the conference out of the playoff? Could the ACC be the first conference to get two teams in the Final Four of college football.

It’s a possibly, and one worth exploring, so Matt and Colton broke it down in our latest podcast. Other topics in this episode include:
A quick rundown of the latest in Ohio State, and Michigan, recruiting news (SPOILER: It’s good for Ohio State).Is Michigan a legitimate Big Ten championship contender this season?Who is going to win the Big Ten West?Our predicted order of finish for each divisionand more!

Matt and Colton finally put down their phones long enough to record another podcast, since they've been so preoccupied by Pokemon Go. After catching everybody up on their Pokedexs, they also chat about the latest developments in Ohio State recruiting, what that means for the future of the QB room and depth chart, and just how many players the Buckeyes can take in their historic 2017 recruiting class. Big Ten power rankings and vacation plans are also discussed.

Ohio State is blowing up on the recrutiing class. Could this be the very best class ever? Matt and Colton discuss, along with the following:

Could a national approach to recruiting hurt Ohio State in Ohio in the long run?

What is the state of Big Ten coaching?

Hey, Rutgers is recruiting pretty well, how about that?

What positions still need to be filled in this class?

Colton's wedding problems

Never skip leg day

It's been a hot second since our last podcast, so let's chat again, shall we? Matt and Colton take a look at Ohio State basketball attendance figures, how Big 12 expansion could impact the Big Ten's TV deal, what's going on with recruiting, Tulane's dope new uniforms, and more.

The spring game has come and gone, and now only the NFL Draft stands in our way of the long, vast offseason. Matt and Colton break down the biggest takeaways from the Spring Game, including how wrong we were about getting 100,000 people to show up, why you shouldn't put too much stock in Torrance Gibson's performance, the state of the OL and the DL, and why you, yes you, should really learn how to cook this summer.

Ohio State's Spring Game is this weekend, and it's the last football-like substance we'll all have for months. Matt and Colton break down all the major storylines on what to expect, like which players and positional groups we'll be watching. They also discuss Urban Meyer's hope for 100,000 people to show up, whether that's possible, or if 100,00 should even go in the first place, since are we sure this is even going to be fun? The latest Ohio State basketball recruiting stories are covered as well, along with the other biggest OSU stories.

Should Ohio State fans be MAD ONLINE right now? Matt and Colton discuss the latest news in the Landon Young recruitment saga, and discuss if he, Urban Meyer, or anybody else is in the wrong in the situation, or if folks should be mad. They also discuss the transfer situation with Ohio State basketball, their expectations, the state of the program and what the roster may look like next season. Professional wrestling and the dad life are also covered.

We had a woman at the scene of the NFL Combine, and now that all the drills are finished and the measurements taken, we take a moment to catch up with Alexis to get her final thoughts on the event. We discuss what covering the Combine was like in person, which Ohio State Buckeyes exceeded her expectations, and which ones still have work to do to move up in the NFL Draft, as well as the potential NFL fit for multiple Buckeyes that worked out.

Now that recruiting is "over" for a little bit, Matt and Colton take a closer look at Ohio State basketball's situation, where thanks to a key injury and lackluster play, an NIT bid appears likely. The two figure out if this season is a failure or not, their chances at making a run deep in the NIT, and whether the future is bright for Ohio State basketball or not. They also, as you'd probably expect, talk a little bit of Pokemon.

National Signing Day is in the books, and Matt and Colton take a look at the next big Ohio State storylines. We take stock of what happened on NSD, discuss a BREAKING NEWS new Ohio State 2017 committment, and the big stories for their current class. We also discuss the new S&P+ preseason projections, and where they have Ohio State, the Big Ten, and other national storylines. Also, there's some fast food discussion, and why Colorado needs to step their crap food game up.
