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 was a busy news week for April, something we’re not used to at all! First, we give our respect to a legend as WNBA Superstar Candace Parker has decided to retire from basketball. Candace Parker was one of the first WNBA players to cross into pop culture breaking down barriers and ushering in this new generation of women’s basketball stars. Candace Parker was a one-of-a-kind player who was an instant success becoming the only person to win Rookie of the Year and MVP in the same season. 
Continuing the news, there are reports from NBA insider Brian Windhurst that LeBron may opt out of his contract and become a free agent. Is it just a formality that LeBron will resign with the Lakers and retire in the purple and gold or is there a chance he will test free agency? NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell broke the news that he is hoping to get rid of another pre-season game and create an 18-game NFL season with two bye weeks. While players may hate it, it may be great for fans as this would push the superbowl to Presidents Day Weekend allowing fans to enjoy the superbowl and have the next Monday off for work. Lastly, Deion Sanders and his son Sheduer get into childish arguments with former players on Twitter over how they were treated in the Colorado program. 
In a span of a few days, the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers were bounced from the playoffs in the first round. The torch is officially being passed in the NBA as LeBron James, Steph Curry, and Kevin Durant are all done playing for the season. In the case of all three superstars they may be forcing their careers too long and it may be evidenced by the unhappiness with their coaches. Throughout the season there have been leaks about all three players being unhappy with their coaches but all three teams made similar sacrifices to allow their stars to continue playing with friends and compete instead of building complete teams. It’s not the coach's fault this time, it’s on the players. It may be time for all three of them to join Candace Parker in retirement.

Hangout in the Holy Land: Four Buckeyes get drafted into the NFL

There’s been a lot of news out of Ohio State since our last episode. The annual OSU Spring Game took place, multiple Buckeyes either got selected in the 2024 NFL Draft or signed undrafted free agent deals to attend various team camps, transfer portal activity continues, and the team got a new running backs coach.
We start with a look back at the Ohio State Spring Game. Chip Minnich attended and updated listeners with the latest on what the game day experience is now like for attending the event. Plus, we discussed which players showed well in the scrimmage, and we agree that the running backs, defensive backs, and a couple of linebackers stole all the headlines. We also discuss the quarterback situation and whether the Spring Game changes anything about the pecking order.
After our breakdown, we had to go through the list of transfer portal departures. We know where Dallan Hayden and Cedrick Hawkins are going next, but we’re not so sure as of the recording of this show about Ja’Had Carter.
The Buckeyes have a new man coaching the running backs, as Carlos Locklyn has joined Ryan Day’s staff. We discuss what he brings to the team in terms of his own work ethic as well as look back upon what his most recent team did running the football.
We ended the show with a look at where four former Buckeyes will be trying to lock down a spot on an NFL roster. Marvin Harrison, Jr., set another school mark on his way to the NFL; Cade Stover will be reunited with C.J. Stroud, Tommy Eichenberg is going to a place that seems like it’s well-suited for him, and Michael Hall, Jr., is staying in the state of Ohio. Plus, a look at where those who weren’t drafted will be trying to make their case for an NFL roster spot.
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.

Silver Bullets Podcast: Spring Game, Buckeyes in the NFL Draft, and more

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!

In the newest episode of Hangout in the Holy Land, Josh and Justin talk about the upcoming NFL draft. Where do we think former Buckeyes Marvin Harrison Jr., Mike Hall Jr., Cade Stover, and others might hear their names called, and where could be their best fits?
Also, it has been an interesting week for the hoops squad. Felix Okpara announced he would be entering the transfer portal, and Roddy Gayle is staying in the Big Ten, taking his talents to Ann Arbor.
