On Land-Grant Holy Land In Conversation, we talk to people in and around Ohio State athletics, and the sporting world at large, to bring you a different insight and perspective to the teams, athletes, and university that you love.
On this episode, Matt is in conversation with Dylan Spilko and Sam Oshtry from LGHL's SBNation sister site Testudo Times, which covers everything Maryland Terrapin athletics. The three of them preview this Saturday's football game between Ohio State and Maryland by talking about Maryland's surprisingly turnover-heavy game last week against Iowa, who Taulia Tagovailoa will turn to now that his No. 1 receiver -Dontay Demus - is out for the season, and how the Terp defense will look to stop the Buckeyes' top-rated offense.

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 about 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.
For years we’ve been lied to about women’s sports. The line was that investing in women’s sports was bad business because no one watched women’s sports. Despite the success of the USWNT, they were making less than the men and there was no support for a US-based women’s professional league despite their being a men’s league that had a lot less success nationally. Now they can’t tell this lie anymore as the past few years have shown that people watch women’s sports and it is good business to invest, they just didn’t believe in women’s sports. 
In the past few years, Women’s basketball has been on the rise and it has officially exploded due to stars like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. This year’s March Madness was run by the women with the women’s tournament outselling the men and significantly outperforming them in television ratings. We are finally starting to get invested in Women’s sports as people begin to realize there is always good if not better play in women’s sports. There just was an intentional decision not to sport them by execs, businesses, television companies, and marketing firms. Truthfully, there has also been a lack of investment from WNBA leadership at times. 
In this episode, Dante, Jordan, and our guest DaNaysia have a passionate discussion about the future of the WNBA and women’s sports. While facing this major boom of interest in the sport the WNBA must capitalize on the interest and turn people into long term fans. One of the biggest concerns facing the WNBA is the lack of teams and roster spots which does not allow for many college stars to make the team. We all agree that the WNBA needs to expand, and Jordan believes expansion is the first step to creating a more sustainable product and capitalizing on the interest. Dante believes the WNBA needs to fix its internal issues first and that expanding without doing that is bad business. 
Let us know which side you agree with!

Hangout in the Holy Land: Its NFL draft week, so where do we think the Buckeyes are heading?

“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.
In episode 118 of Bucketheads, Connor and Justin are back to recap a busy week for Ohio State men’s basketball. Once thought to be key returners and pieces to the 2024-25 team, Felix Okpara and Roddy Gayle Jr. are officially no longer Buckeyes.
Okpara entered the transfer portal over the weekend after originally saying he would be returning to Columbus for his junior season. We discuss what the Buckeyes need to do now with two spots available moving forward and how to fill those after losing Okpara and Gayle.
In the second half, we welcome John Fanta from Fox Sports to talk about all things Ohio State. We talk about the hiring of Diebler, why it was a great move by Ross Bjork, the Buckeyes three transfer additions thus far, and how he sees the Buckeyes performing next season.

Bucketheads Podcast: Welcoming back John Fanta of Fox Sports and Roddy Gayle is heading to TTUN

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.
The guys are back and there is a lot to talk about. The spring transfer portal is open and while there are not many key Big Ten players in the portal the portal isn’t going anywhere. The NCAA just approved unlimited transferring which means players finally have free movement. While we agree that the players should be able to move freely Jordan thinks there needs to be a few guidelines in place to protect the players. Most of the players who transfer more than once are not going to be headed to the NFL, what obligation does the NCAA have to protest them academically?
The NFL draft is around the corner and there are a bunch of current or future Big Ten schools represented in the first round. Led by USC’s Caleb Williams the top of the draft will have representation all over the board. Ohio State’s Marvin Harrison Jr. and Washington’s Rome Odunze are at the top of the boards while Penn State’s Olu Fashanu is one of the highest-rated offensive linemen in the draft. It may be a bit of a reach if you ask us but Michigan JJ McCarthy is projected to hear his name called in the first five picks! Stay tuned as the Big Ten will be heavily represented in the top ten picks. 
The NBA playoffs are here, does anyone have a chance to stop the Nuggets and Celtics from making the finals? Plus are Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic on track to be better than LeBron James? Dante thinks so.

I-80 Football Show: NFL Draft + NBA Playoffs

“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.
On episode 117 of Bucketheads, the Ohio State men’s basketball team is so back.
The Buckeyes and head coach Jake Diebler has secured a commitment from Kentucky center Aaron Bradshaw, a former McDonald’s All-American, and the No. 4 overall recruit in the 2023 class. We talk about Bradshaw's fit on this team and how he works next to Felix Okpara.
Also, the Buckeyes secured a commitment from Northeast Ohio five-star 2025 guard Marcus Johnson, the cousin of Meechie Johnson. Johnson is a huge pickup and the first five-star to come to Columbus since D’Angelo Russell.
To close, we discuss Zed Key committing to Dayton and his fit there and more transfer portal updates
