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.

We are back for the Fourth of July week, and for this newest episode of Hangout in the Holy Land, we are talking about all things Ohio State Athletics because a lot has happened.

We start with the most important topic. Is the Fourth of July overrated? Or, at least, are fireworks overrated?

It is a big week for Ohio State recruiting as the Buckeyes await Justin Hill’s decision. And is Oregon becoming a problem? After that, we stick to the LGHL’s theme week and discuss some burning questions that we have heading into the football and basketball seasons.

We also discuss Ohio State men’s basketball landing a commitment from 2025 top-100 Dorian Jones, Carmen’s Crew return to TBT, and Neal Shipley’s play at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

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.

Marijuana is legal in 24 states and it is now no longer a banned substance by the NCAA. Regardless of your stance on marijuana, it is becoming destigmatized, and it is also no longer banned by the three major sports leagues in the United States. Do you think athletes should be allowed to use marijuana? Let us know in the comments. 

We’re getting closer to the July 19th release date of EA Sports College Football ‘25 and EA is slowly releasing more and more information. This week was ‘rankings week’ as the developers released three sets of rankings, the 25 toughest places to play and the top 25 offenses and defenses in the game. Dante and Jordan have major beef with the rankings, this game may be a love letter to college football but the developers don’t know ball. There are too many legacy picks and hype picks including Colorado having a top-25 defense and offense in this iteration of the video game. 

In their weekly pitstops, Jordan is annoyed with the New York Yankees infielders as the team continues to slide losing a bunch of games in the past couple of weeks. Dante gives a shoutout to Men’s Mental Health Month. It’s important to prioritize your mental health, we hope you all take care of yourself whether through therapy, exercise, meditation, or any other healthy activity.

Josh and Justin are back for the latest episode of Hangout in the Holy Land, and we are talking about the Buckeyes getting hot on the recruiting trail.

A busy month of June for Ryan Day, Mark Pantoni, and Company... And thus far, it has proven to be a fruitful one. OSU gained 7 new commitments from the class of 2025, highlighted by Faheem Delane, Quincy Porter, and most recently, Zion Grady.

The latter is a top-10 edge recruit from Alabama, making him the second top-75 player from that state to commit to the Buckeyes, joining corner Na’eem Offord.

Then, in honor of this week’s Land Grant Holy Land theme, we discuss some OSU athletics records that we think may never be broken. Or will they?

A lot has happened this offseason on the Ohio State football front, and we’ve reconvened to discuss much of it. We start this show with a discussion of former Buckeyes around the NFL. Michael Hall Jr. has signed with the Browns, and there are new homes for Gareon Conley and Steele Chambers. Which are in good situations?

There has been a lot of talk recently about Caleb Downs taking snaps at running back? Is this a good idea? We talk about the things Chip Kelly has said and debate whether or not a two-way Downs is the way the Buckeyes should go.

Nigel Porter is headed back to Northwestern via the transfer portal after a short and unsuccessful career at Ohio State. We never got to see what he could do, but maybe that’s the point.

Some of the 2024 kickoff times have dropped and we talk about the Buckeyes opening up the season with an afternoon and evening game of MACtion against Akron and Western Michigan, as well as why Ohio State may not have many night games. Speaking of the schedule, Grambling has replaced UConn on the 2025 OSU schedule. A less-than-stellar contest has taken the place of another.

What’s the deal with Billy Fessler becoming an analyst with the Buckeyes? Chip Kelly knows him well and we think this is a good move that will make Kelly more comfortable.

Ohio State commit Tavien St. Clair had a big performance at the Elite 11. We talk about him winning the accuracy contest and how his career might unfold in Columbus.

Finally, we break down Phil Steele’s preseason All-American teams, which include seven Buckeyes across his three squads. We discuss who was maybe too high, too low, or snubbed altogether. It’s all conjecture, of course, but it makes for fun debate.

We’ll continue coming at you monthly in the college football offseason, 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.

Be sure to subscribe, rate, review, share, and follow the show over on Twitter at @SilvrBulletsPod.

As always, thanks for listening!

The sports world lost two legends over the past couple of weeks with the passing of NBA legend Jerry West and MLB and Negro League legend Willie Mays. Both guys were two of the flag bearers for their leagues making it what it is today. Willie Mays helped break the color barrier in Major League Baseball and is one of the greatest players to ever play the game with over 3,000 hits and more than 600 home runs to pair with more than 300 steals. No player has come near those numbers, May was one of the best all-around players we’ve ever seen. Jerry West was a pioneer on the court, recognized for his impact on and off the court and his likeness being used as the NBA logo. West was successful on and off the court being pivotal in creating the Shaw/Kobe Lakers and the Steph Curry Warriors dynasty. The sports world will miss these titans of the industry. 

In the news recently the Big 12 conference has had conversations around naming rights for their conference. Could we soon see the ‘Allstate 12’ conference? Money is important, especially as the sport changes but there should be a better way to get money than naming your conference after another brand. Marketing is a major issue in the sport right now including in the NBA as the league has an issue marketing its future stars focusing only on LeBron James even during the NBA Finals. The NBA season has come to an end with Jaylen Brown leading the Boston Celtics to an NBA Final over Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. The guys break down the finals and Jaylen Brown wins the Finals MVP over Jayson Tatum who is the bigger household name.

In their weekly pitstop, the guys discuss Angel Reese and her transition to the WNBA. Reese after logging 16 points and 18 rebounds broke the WNBA rookie record with seven straight double-doubles. Despite many doubts about her transitioning to the league Reese has shown she belongs in the league, Can she turn into a star?

“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.

Connor and Justin are back for episode 122 of the Bucketheads Podcast, and for the fourth time in the show’s history, are joined by former Ohio State basketball player Joey Lane.

Lane was in Columbus this week for alumni week, and we asked him about what he saw. We discussed the culture that Diebler is trying to instill, the differences between the three coaches with alumni, and specific players like Bruce Thornton, Meechie Johnson, and Juni Mobley.

Before the Joey Lane interview, Justin pops in for a quick news update, including the injury to Taison Chatman and its fallout, Darryn Peterson scheduling an official visit, and the date of the Texas A&M game having been set.

Josh and Justin are back with this week’s Hangout in the Holy Land, and this week, Josh is putting Justin on the spot.

The Land-Grant Holy Land theme this week is This or That, so Josh is asking Justin questions about the men’s basketball team and the football team and whether he would rather have This or That.

Before that, we discuss Neal Shipley finishing as the low amateur at the U.S. Open and the Masters Tournament, and Justin goes on a small rant about access to professional golf for amateurs. And it’s alumni week for the men’s hoops team.

Josh and Justin are back this week for Hangout in the Holy Land, and we are discussing What-If scenarios.

This is always an interesting topic because you can find examples from any season. However, we recently picked out two for football and two for basketball to discuss how, if a couple of things went differently, the history books could look different.

Before that, we discuss the U.S. Open, Dan Hurley staying at UConn, and the BOOM! that Ohio State Football just landed and why Tim Walton is such a successful recruiter.

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.

Disclaimer: This is not betting advice! We do not bet so don’t bet your money on us. In this episode, we play a game. Dante has a hypothetical $1,800 and must bet $100 on each team in the conference. Oregon and Ohio State both have win totals set at 10.5 and they play each other, can either squad go 12-0 this season and exceed their win total? Penn State and Michigan are at 9.5, are both programs set for a step back this season? Indiana, Illinois, Michigan State, Minnesota, Northwestern, Purdue, and UCLA, all have win totals under six wins. Someone from this group is sure to exceed their projected total and make a bowl game, who would you put your real or hypothetical money on?

In our news segment, we break down the new College Football Playoff schedule. Our main takeaway, this is not sustainable. We’re both excited for the 12-team playoff and more games but this calendar is awful and makes no sense. There is almost no chance this calendar will stay the same when the new contract begins in 2026. The first thing they need to do is start the season a week earlier and ensure that the national championship game is held before the spring semester starts at most colleges and universities across the country. 

Former Ohio State Quarterback CJ Stroud was recently asked which career he would rather have, Aaron Rodgers or Eli Manning. Stroud answered Eli Manning and it has sparked a debate on the internet and the sports TV news cycle. The guys break down the numbers to see if Stroud was right in preferring Eli’s career over Rodgers.

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.
