The latest episode of Land-Grant Holy Land’s flagship podcast is here! Join LGHL’s Josh Dooley and Chuck Holmes as they discuss Ohio State football, recruiting, and much, much more! Come for the hot takes, stay for the warm ones.
On this episode of “Hangout in the Holy Land,” Josh and Chuck do their best to react to a confusing, disappointing, and frankly embarrassing Cotton Bowl loss for Ryan Day and the Ohio State Buckeyes.
With Michigan, National Signing Day, and even the loss of their starting QB at least temporarily in the rearview, Day and his OSU football squad had an opportunity to turn the page and roll into 2024 with some momentum. Instead, the head coach looked overwhelmed and underprepared, leaving Buckeye Nation with more questions than answers.
Questions such as: What the hell happened in Arlington, TX? Where does the football program go from here? And should Day be the one leading it?

“Bucketheads” is LGHL’s men’s basketball podcast, hosted by Connor Lemons and Justin Golba. In every episode, they give you the latest scoop on the Ohio State Buckeyes and everything else happening in college hoops.
This is episode 121 of Bucketheads, and for an impressive third time, we are welcoming Kevin Sweeney of Sports Illustrated and Field of 68 to help us recap everything that has happened this offseason.
We start with some general Big Ten talk, with a preview of the four teams joining the Big Ten, the retooled roster of Dusty May and Michigan, and who the team to beat in the conference is.
Then, we discuss Ohio State specifically. Which of the four new transfers could be most impactful? What are his thoughts on Bruce Thornton? What is this team's ceiling?
To close, we get his thoughts on the always underrated Kent State Golden Flashes.

The latest episode of Land-Grant Holy Land’s flagship podcast is here! Join LGHL’s Josh Dooley and Justin Golba as they discuss Ohio State football, basketball, recruiting, and much more! Come for the hot takes. Stay for the warm ones.
After a week off and Josh relaxing in Florida, we are back for another episode of Hangout in the Holy Land. This week, the theme is players to watch. Who are some players on offense and defense that we are watching this year for Ohio State, and why are they on our minds?
Before that, we discuss Ohio State men’s basketball hiring Talor Battle as their final assistant, the upcoming Olympics, and the Memorial Tournament in Columbus this week since Justin will be on site.
And, of course, some banter that has nothing to do with anything on topic.

Hangout in the Holy Land: Who are some players to keep an eye on this year for the Buckeyes?

Welcome to a new episode of Land-Grant Podcast Network’s I-80 Football Show. On this show, we travel down I-80 to talk all things Big Ten Football. This is the only Big Ten Podcast that’ll cover all 18 teams. After every week of action, we will catch you up on all the conference’s games and look ahead at the matchups, storylines, and players you should be paying attention to for the next week. My name is Jordan Williams, and I am joined by my co-host Dante Morgan.
Unless you care about court cases or early season television schedules it’s been a slow week in the college football news space. Slow for everything not related to the new college football video game. EA Sports allowed a bunch of journalists to play the new game which led to massive new drops in features, gameplay, sights, and sounds. First things first, EA College Football ‘25 is a horrible name. Like Twitter, we will stubbornly be calling this game by its old name. With all of the time and effort spent making the game, unfortunately, they won’t just pay for the ‘NCAA’ branding. Aside from calling it by its rightful name, we would accept another “Madden” where they name the game after one of the best coaches of all time. Saban ‘25 has a nice ring to it. 
So far EA Sports is winning the press conference, it’s naive to believe that this game is not going to be similar to Madden in any way seeing that they are both built on the same Frostbite gaming engine but if the reports are to be believed it is a unique product. Despite the positive news we still have questions, namely, will there be any sort of cut scenes and replays like the old game? How will the crowd noise affect gameplay? Plus, will the actual gameplay suffer due to the focus on visuals? If you care about the new video game and even if you don’t sit down with us as we walk through all the news and brainstorm the potential downfalls of trusting EA Sports to make a good game on the first try.

I-80 Football Show: I Will Not Call This Game By It's Name

As the college football off-season rolls on, it’s the part of the year when less news out of the program is likely better. However, there are still some eventful things that have taken place since our last episode.
We start this show with a discussion of the Buckeyes who opted out. Six players are departing via the transfer portal after spring practice. We discuss those leaving and what it means for Ohio State. Dallan Hayden has to be the primary name among those leaving, and his was likely the brightest future in Columbus.
Following out transfer portal departure discussion, we check in on the 2024 recruits who are arriving on campus this summer. Although most of the incoming class arrived in the spring, there are some summer arrivals that fans shouldn’t sleep on.
While much of the discussion about transfers has to be devoted to the multiple folks leaving, there was a key arrival in the portal as well. Keenan Nelson was added to the Ohio State roster and he could be an upgrade in the depth department.
Ohio State will play the Northwestern Wildcats at Wrigley Field on Nov. 16. We’re not the biggest fans of the idea, although there isn’t a great substitute for games on campus in our view. Still, this one doesn’t excite us in the way some people seem to be fans of the announcement. We talk through this upcoming football game in a baseball facility. 
Finally, we talked about a trio of former Buckeyes who were selected in the recent NFL Draft and have signed their first professional contracts. Marvin Harrison, Jr., Cade Stover, and Tommy Eichenberg are getting paid well to play football on Sundays now.
We’ll continue coming at you monthly in the college football off-season, with plans to return to our weekly schedule in August 2024. We’d love to hear from you, so please reach out with your feedback and questions below in the comments section or send us an email.

As always, thanks for listening!

Silver Bullets Podcast: Outbound OSU Transfers, Incoming Freshmen & NFL Buckeyes

Welcome to a new episode of Land-Grant Podcast Network’s I-80 Football Show. On this show, we travel down I-80 to talk all things Big Ten Football. This is the only Big Ten Podcast that’ll cover all 18 teams. After every week of action, we will catch you up on all the conference’s games and look ahead at the matchups, storylines, and players you should be paying attention to for the next week. My name is Jordan Williams, and I am joined by my co-host Dante Morgan.
It has been a heavy news week for college football as the sport continues to change in front of our eyes. In a landmark decision, the NCAA and the Power Five conferences have agreed to a settlement that will change the face of college athletics and let student athletes be paid. While there is not much information out just yet there will be more to come. Speaking of athletes getting paid EA Sports has finally released information about EA College Football ‘25 including its release date of July 19th, 2024. The game will also be bundled with Madden, it’s still early but there will surely be more information on the way soon.
TNT Sports, which is on its way to losing the media rights to the NBA, has agreed to sublicense College Football Playoff games from ESPN for the next five seasons. In non-football news, the WNBA has announced Toronto as the city for its 14th expansion team. The hope is for there to still be 16 teams before the 2026 season.
The 2024 season is getting close and while it’s not quite preview season it is a perfect time to look ahead at which games we’re looking forward to this year. In this episode, we rank the ten games that have us the most excited including Ohio State vs. Oregon and Michigan vs. USC. Whether we think it’ll be good games or we want a team we hate to lose this list of games already has our attention in May. Which games are on your radar this early?
