This might be the biggest version of The Game that Ohio State and Michigan have ever been a part of.

Part of the reason for that is what is at stake on both sides with a win or a loss. Stephen Means, Nathan Baird, Andrew Gillis and the Texters get into every bit of it on this almost 2.5-hour episode of Buckeye Talk.

Ryan Day is trying to avoid losing three straight games to the Wolverines, even if there might one day be an asterisk next to the first two. His first full recruiting class in 2021 is trying to live up to the hype it arrived with while also trying to get their first pair of gold pants finally. Then there’s the Kyle McCord element of this in how much this can impact his legacy as OSU’s latest starting quarterback.

This episode is all about being hyperbolic leaving no room for middle ground. It’s a chance to find out where you stand even if you aren’t the most extreme version of that stance. As Ohio State heads into the biggest game it’s played in during the Day era, it’s time to see how a fanbase feels about its head coach and football program.
