Welcome to a new episode of Land-Grant Holy Land’s I-70 podcast. On this show we talk all things Big Ten football and basketball. After every week of action, we will get you caught up on all the conference’s games and look ahead at the matchups, storylines, and players that you should be paying attention to in the next week. My name is Jordan Williams, and I am joined by my co-host Dante Morgan.

We are a few weeks away from the 2022-2023 football season, so it is time to switch gears from talking season and dive in headfirst into real football content. What better way to start football season then ranking teams and picking games? In our season preview we rank the Big Ten into four tiers, the non-bowl tier, the low-bowl tier, the NY6 bowl tier and the contender’s tier. We also predict records and finishes for all fourteen teams leading to 168 games picked.

In this episode we discuss the three or four teams, depending on who you ask, that will make lower ranked bowl games. Jordan believes that Mike Locksley, an overall bad coach, will stumble into back-to-back bowl games on the shoulders of his talented quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa and his pass catchers Rakim Jarrett and Dontay Demus Jr. While Dante disagrees, they both agree that after a shocking 5-7 season the Fighting Illini will reach six wins and make it to a bowl game in the second year under Bret Bielema. There may be a ceiling to what Illinois can be in the Big Ten but behind Chase Brown and Josh McCray they will be a tough team to face.

While Maryland and Illinois may be happy about being placed in this tier the same cannot be said for the next two teams. After winning the Big Ten West and facing Michigan in the championship game Iowa takes a step back. Their defense will be good as always but with some losses on offense and without a change on the offensive staff this team should lose more games than last year. Penn State makes the final team in this tier. Their ceiling will remain limited with Sean Clifford as their starting quarterback. They should have a renewed James Franklin but losing Jahan Dotson, Jaquan Brisker, and Brent Pry will be tough to deal with. This team should be better in the future but with a tough schedule will not contend for the Big Ten East crown.

In their weekly pit stop Dante gives a shout out to the Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell new contract extension. Jordan expresses anger about the Deshaun Watson suspension and the overall process.

On today’s episode of “Buck Off with Christopher Renne,” I am joined by Jordan Williams, and we get into our Big Ten conference preview for the 2022 season.

Before we get into the preview we get into some news and notes with the start of Fall Camp on the horizon. We discuss the impending football season and how last year goes into the dumpster when Fall Camp starts. We also get into the stories we’re most excited about for the first day of camp.

To start our conference preview with Big Ten West and discuss how all seven teams will fare this season. We start with the teams projected at the bottom including the lifeless Northwestern program and the steadily improving Illinois program. We then get into the discussion about the middle of the pack programs and teams looking to improve including Nebraska, Minnesota, and Purdue. We then discuss the division champs Iowa and why Wisconsin should be the safe bet to reclaim their conference thrown. (13:33)

After the break, we get into the Big Ten East division and how this division should have a defined pecking order once again. Indiana is getting a lot of 6th place hype which we disagree with whole heartedly, and we discuss why Rutgers can be a bowl team this year. After that we discuss Maryland who exists in the middle on their own and what they can do to have a successful season. We then get into Michigan, Michigan State, and Penn State discussing how they can be better or worse than last year. We don’t get into Ohio State because we will be doing an in depth preview closer to the season. (1:04:39)

To close out the show, we make award predictions including conference MVP, offensive player of the year, defensive player of the year, and biggest upset to close out a loaded show.

Land-Grant Holy Land’s newest podcast, ‘Bucketheads’ takes you on a journey across the college basketball landscape every episode. The only basketball-focused podcast in the LGHL family of podcasts, co-hosts Connor Lemons and Justin Golba give the latest scoop on the Ohio State Buckeyes as well as all the other happenings in the college hoops world.

We are back and we have a BOOM! for Ohio State hoops. The second-ranked player in the state and main priority for Chris Holtmann and his staff, Devin Royal from Pickerington Central, has made his verbal commitment to the Buckeyes. We discussed this, Scotty Middleton’s commitment on Saturday and Dailyn Swain’s plan to drop his top-five on Friday — conveniently right before Middleton’s decision.

Also, we were joined by Davis Moseley of Rivals to talk about Royal, Middleton and more. We talked about Ohio State recruiting, Big Ten recruits and some national prospects folks should keep an eye on during the 2022-2023 season.

Throughout the year, Land-Grant Holy Land will be bringing you uncut audio primarily from Ohio State press conferences, but also from individual interview sessions.

During this episode, we heard from Ohio State men’s basketball coach Chris Holtmann leading up to his team’s trip to the Bahamas, which is set to take place from Thursday, August 4th through Tuesday, August 9th. The Buckeyes will face the Egyptian and Puerto Rican national teams at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. Unfortunately, there will be no way to watch or stream Ohio State’s games in the Bahamas.

Holtmann also discussed the health of players who have been nursing injuries, including Seth Towns, Justice Sueing, and Gene Brown. Neither Sueing nor Towns will play in this week’s game action.

Ohio State’s sixth-year head coach also discussed November’s Maui Invitational for a bit, but was noncommittal on if he would wear a Hawaaian shirt or not during and of the Buckeyes’ three games at the Lahaina Civic Center in Maui.

Welcome to a new episode of Land-Grant Holy Land’s I-70 podcast. On this show we talk all things Big Ten football and basketball.

We are a few weeks away from the 2022-23 football season, so it is time to switch gears from talking off-season to diving headfirst into real football content. What better way to start football season than ranking teams and picking games?

In our season preview, we rank the Big Ten into four tiers, the non-bowl tier, the low-bowl tier, the NY6 bowl tier, and the contender’s tier. We also predict records and finishes for all fourteen teams leading to 168 games picked.

Last year Jordan won the competition with a record of 95-73, while Dante was close behind with a record of 93-75. Looking to improve on last year, the guys both agree that Indiana, Northwestern, Rutgers, and Nebraska will not make bowl games in the 2022-23 football season.

Not all tiers are created evenly as Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano and Northwestern’s head coach Pat Fitzgerald are safe even with a poor season. On the other hand, this should put the nail in the coffin of the Scott Frost experiment while Tom Allen hopes his administration will show him some love and give him another season. Maybe he will end up with the Jim Harbaugh, “prove it” contract.

In their weekly pitstops, Jordan is tired of the Yankees not spending money. It is time to bring back the Yankees who operated with a blank check and would do and pay anything to win; it is no coincidence they have not won since they closed the checkbooks.

Dante is tired of the double standard in the NBA where players are expected to be loyal to teams while teams are anything but loyal to their players and will lie to them or trade them in a heartbeat.
