Midweek bowl games always throw off the regular schedule. This week’s Rose Bowl has delayed the Sons of Schmidt, but have no fear for we are here!

This week, the Sons put together a shorter show for the shorter week. There are no segment breakdowns, just a full-blown Buckeye discussion on the Rose Bowl Game, the passing of the torch from the 2018 Buckeyes to the 2019 Buckeyes, and even Josh Fields.

There are a few announcements to be made, in place of the Son of a Schmidt. You’ll want to know what is going on with the guys.

Let us know what you think. Go Bucks! OH!

With it being the Holiday Season, we want to wish you the happiest holiday of all…Happy Sons of Schmidt Thursday to you and yours!

As sad as it makes some of you, Brandon Zimmerman has returned to his co-host seat this week. However, this episode is HEAVY on Rose Bowl content.

The Sons spend an entire segment looking at each side of the ball for the Rose Bowl. Segment One is the Washington Offense verses the Ohio State Defense. In Segment Two, we look at the other side of the ball.

The guys also address an oft-asked #AskSoS question this week, regarding the highly touted UW Defense.

We change up the Son of a Schmidt! segment this week, and go true old-fashioned back-and-forth on a highly debated topic.

We close with some Schmidt Picks of a bowl game variety.

Welcome to Sons of Schmidt Thursday on Hayes & Cannon and The Ozone Radio Network!

As we mentioned last week on the show, our Co-Host Brandon is not available this week. That means Mike had to go to the Buckeye bullpen to get a replacement for today’s show.

Our guest host this week has a long and storied career covering the Buckeyes and is an Ohio State Podcasting legend.

This week, Mike shares the recording studio with Joe Dexter.

After welcoming Joe back in, he and Mike look back at the Ohio State season. What did Joe think about the 2018 Buckeyes? How does he feel about Urban leaving and Ryan Day taking over?

In our second segment, The Sons look at the excitement building for this year’s Rose Bowl.

We close with Joe excitingly stepping in to give a Son of a Schmidt, and some Schmidt Bowl Picks.

Welcome to Sons of Schmidt Thursday on Hayes & Cannon and The Ozone Radio Network!

Now that the Ohio State news cycle has slowed down just a bit, we can finally get to the season wrap up. As the Sons planned to do last week, the season ending awards are given out in segment one.

The guys look around the bowl schedule in segment two. There are a few games each guy would like to see and are looking forward to. Are there any that you want to see?

We end the show with our ‘Son of a Schmidt!’. Brandon recaps and explains his article from last Friday on Hayes & Cannon. Mike, who self-proclaims a love of college football, has a shocking announcement. There is a recap of the last Schmidt Picks of the season, and our first round of bowl picks are in.

Let us know what you think. Go Bucks! OH!

Relax Buckeye fans. We know this has been a slow new week, but it’s Sons of Schmidt Thursday and we’re here to help!

To start this week’s episode, the guys finally have something to say about the College Football Playoffs.

After a break, The Sons take an unexpected look at the Ohio State tenure of Urban Meyer. It wasn’t really planned as this week’s show was in pre-production, but the walk down memory lane is a fun one.

Let us know who you would name for each of the questions asked.

For segment two, Brandon and Mike look back at the Big Ten Championship Game, and Ohio State’s performance. 12-1, beating TTUN, a B1G, and a Rose Bowl trip have made 2018 a great season for Ohio State.

We end the show with our Son of a Schmidt and a look at the Schmidt Picks!

Let us know what you think. Go Bucks! OH!

The celebration following Ohio State’s B1G win in The Game may be slowing down, but the celebration of Sons of Schmidt Thursday is just getting started!

To start this week’s show, Brandon Zimmerman and Mike Meals recap their visit to Columbus and the Hayes & Cannon/Ozone Staff meeting. We had a winner Friday night, and it wasn’t anyone you’d assume would beat us all at Top Golf.

For the first segment, The Sons recap The Game. The Buckeyes earned another pair of Gold Pants this week. That is a special tradition for The Sons, as the show is named after Francis Schmidt, the father of the Gold Pants at OSU.

There were plenty of great moments and performances to talk about from Saturday. Ohio State finally lived up to the hype that has been on this team for the entire season.

The Big Ten Championship Game looms next for the Bucks. And the guys look forward to Northwestern. The Wildcats come in 8-1 in conference, and they field a much better team than the record shows.

Brandon’s Son of a Schmidt! this week finally looks at the College Football Playoff Rankings.

The Sons of Schmidt S3E12: The Game!

Finally, the most important Thursday in November is here! That is correct, it is Rivalry Week Thursday! As everyone is spending time with their families today, it is the perfect time to listen to the newest episode of The Sons of Schmidt.

To start, what does Ohio State have to do in order to move into the College Football Playoffs? Hint: win. That is the only thing they can control.

For segment one, the guys look back at the best of times and worst of times. Of course, this is the offense and defense that showed up in Scarlet and Gray on Saturday in College Park. The Buckeyes offense showed a lot of positives against the Terps. And the defense showed…that they were also on scholarship.

The Sons kick of Hate Week looking at the Michigan offense. For those of you who haven’t seen TTUN this season, they are nothing fancy. But they are darn good at it. Michigan still employees a fullback, and they will try to pound the football Saturday.

The biggest question, of course, is “Can Ohio State’s defense slow down Michigan more than Michigan’s defense can slow down Ohio State?” Brandon and Mike look into this and weigh the Buckeye options.

As always, the Son of a Schmidt! segment will get you talking.

The show closes with Schmidt Picks and a final score prediction never before heard on three years of the show.

The Sons of Schmidt S3E12: Turtle Power!

We don’t use hyperbole a lot, but the newest episode of The Sons of Schmidt contains the greatest 57 seconds of recording we have ever made.

It is Sons of Schmidt Thursday on Hayes & Cannon and The Ozone Radio Network!

To start, the Sons recap the newest College Football Playoff rankings. Not much has changed in the rankings or in the amount of time the Sons are giving them.

For segment one, Brandon Zimmerman and Mike Meals look back at Michigan State. The Buckeyes have continued the improvements first seen against Nebraska, including a dedication to the rushing attack. Did anything in particular stand out? The guys also answer listener questions.

Before segment two begins, those 57 seconds mentioned above happens. We apologize and send our condolences at the same time.

In segment two, the guys look at the Terps. There are some serious stat sheet kings playing in College Park this season, but can they continue this week against Ohio State?

As always, the Son of a Schmidt! segment will get you talking.

The show closes with Schmidt Picks and a final score prediction.

S3E11: Sparty? No!

Much like the missing Ohio State rushing attack, the Sons of Schmidt returns to The Ozone Radio Network on Hayes & Cannon.

To start Sons of Schmidt Thursday, the Sons celebrate someone’s birthday. And then they dig super deep into the College Football Playoff rankings. Or, they really don’t. It is still early, and nothing is changing unless Ohio State wins out.

During the first segment, the Sons look back at the Nebraska game. Where they happy with the close win? No. But did the Buckeyes do enough to give them hope that major issues have been corrected? The guys also take a couple listener questions in the #AskSoS portion of the show.

For segment two, Michigan State positions itself in the crosshairs. Sparty has been a consistent thorn in Ohio State’s side recently. How do the Bucks match-up this year? Can Ohio State continue to build on the momentum the rushing attack built against Nebraska? MSU does come into the game with the #1 rushing defense in the country. But they also struggle against the pass. You may not know this, but Ohio State has a pretty good quarterback, and they should be able to take advantage of this.

To end the show, Brandon and Mike give their Son of a Schmidt and make this week’s Schmidt Picks!

Go Bucks! OH!

The Buckeyes return to action this Saturday but the Sons of Schmidt returns today!

To start, the Sons discuss the inaugural College Football Playoff rankings. Spoiler alert, much like the preseason rankings, this initial ranking means little to nothing to either Mike or Brandon. For Ohio State, it is simple, win out and you’re in, drop a game and it is over.

During the first segment, the fellas look at what the Buckeyes can do to fix the team.

In segment two, the look forward to Nebraska begins. The Cornhuskers have some offensive talent and a quarterback that will worry Buckeye fans this weekend.

To end the show, Brandon and Mike give their Son of a Schmidt and make this week’s Schmidt Picks!
