  • S1E71 - Fiesta hangover; Browns blow it up again; Urban's NFL challenge; Forgiveness isn't routine, but it's necessary (and so is a routine)

    Thanks for listening. Please let your friends know about our podcast. If every subscriber would tell one friend -- and you know you all know someone who would enjoy this podcast -- we would double our growth overnight and be much better-positioned to continue. Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks to Get Better Each Day, Ma#123 and Brian Bleil for reviwing us in the past week. Every new review really helps us gain traction on iTunes.

    Today:

    Bruce is back from a 2,000-mile drive home from Arizona, which he turned into a mental toughness test the Spielman Brothers would be proud of.

    We still have some Fiesta Bowl hangover lingering

    Joe Burrow's season is perhaps the most-astounding we've ever seen

    Harbaugh needs a QB. The fact he keeps taking transfers isn't wrong. But the transfers he's getting aren't the answer.

    The Browns are starting over again.

    Does the structure owner Jimmy Haslam outlined make sense?

    Mike McCarthy was the first interview. He should have been the last.

    Would Urban Meyer work in the NFL?

    Luke Fickell wins 11 again. Can he get the OSU job from Cincinnati?

    Don Brown's defensive strategy is dumb, given Michigan's talent

    Routine gets a bad rap. Bruce missed his, and is glad to get back into it

  • S1E70 - Monday blues over Fiesta frustration; Freddie's farewell in CLE; Be strong/be kind

    Thanks for listening to our content. We hope you will share it with those you know who may enjoy it. Growth is a function of awareness, so if you can help us in that regard, we'd appreciate it. Also, please review us on iTunes. It helps us with sponsors and helps us know what you like.

    Today:

    Lots of Fiesta fallout, including where the game was lost

    Was it the fault of the refs or the Red Zone?

    In every great game, and this was a GREAT game, there are a bunch of plays that you forget. Here are some.

    Have you ever seen a game where as many star players had to leave the field for at least one play?

    The Fiesta Bowl had everything but on-field chippiness, which testifies to how great both programs are

    Dabo and Lawpaid tribute to OSU, which took class

    Ryan Day struck exactly the right tone afterward

    Who's leaving for OSU and what is the schedule challenge in 2020?

    Freddie Kitchens gets fired, and it's the right move.

    Baker Mayfield needs to realize he can be great, but he can also keep himself from being great

    Faith corner shares our favorite verse and how it shapes our conduct and reactions to others

  • S1E69 - Immediate reaction: Clemson 29, OSU 23. Buckeyes had chances; Replay conspires against them

    Thanks for listening. Please review us on iTunes and let your friends know we exist. That would be greatly appreciated.

    It's 4:27 a.m. in the East after OSU's 29-23 loss to Clemson in the Fiesta Bowl.

    The replay overturn of Jordan Fuller's scoop and score will be lamented forever.

    Was this a great game or just a close game?

    Did the two teams prevent each other from playing well enough for it to be a classic?

    Can we appreciate it as a classic, given the fact OSU lost?

    J.K. Dobbins ankle injury could have changed the game

    So might his touchdown catch on the screen pass that he dropped.

    And replay overturned a J.K. Dobbins TD, but that was the right call.

    Trevor Lawrence is no joke.

    Neither is Travis Etienne.

    Neither is Justin Fields or Jeff Okudah.

    Mr. Spielman will join Monday afternoon and we'll get his perspective.

    Until then, OSU hoops is also ranked second and has a shot at the national championship, too.

    What are the two areas where Clemson could be vulnerable to OSU?

    What is the one thing OSU fans should be concerned about with Clemson?

    Andy Dalton may be playing his last game as a Bengal Sunday against the Browns

    Freddie Kitches better be coaching his last game with the Browns on Sunday against the Bengals.

  • S1E67 - OSU arrives at Fiesta; Dabo scouts Buckeyes; Urban's future; Browns could learn from @CantGuardMike; Christmas is a gift to you

    Thank you for listening. We hope you will share our content with friends and leave us a fresh review at iTunes (all reviews recycle every 48 hours).

    Today:

    Buckeyes land in Valley of the Sun and go straight to the practice field

    Dabo scouts OSU and it looks very, very familiar to him

    The job Dabo and Ryan Day have done with their teams is pretty remarkable

    Another NFL Sunday means more rumors and reports about Urban Meyer's future.

    Speils works an offensive barn-burner in DC. Did he suffer flashbacks to his ESPN days?

    The Browns give us more examples of their dysfunction

    The Browns also give us a stunning lesson in clock mismanagement

    Bruce says the nonsense makes the decision on Freddie Kitchens' future an easy one

    Baker Mayfield gets a figurative scolding from a bygone era of Browns greatness

    Cleveland should emulate former Buckeye Michael Thomas.

    Andy Dalton rallies the Bengals, who nevertheless remain the Bengals

    Congratulations, Bengals, you are on the clock

    Joe Burrow will be a Bengal. He's already a great example of using your platform to benefit others

    Christmas is more than giving and getting gifts. It's about the gift you've been given and whether you'll choose to accept it.

  • S1E66 - A deep dive on key match-ups OSU vs. Clemson; Could Andy Dalton work as Joe Burrow's backup?; Plant good seeds, get a good yield in all things in life

    Thank you for listening. We hope you will share our content with your friends so they can become regular listeners.

    It would really help us if you would review our podcast on iTunes. You can find a tutorial at http://pleasereviewmypodcast.com/spielman-and-hooley/

    How much prep is too much prep for Clemson?

    Does Clemson have an edge, significant or slight, because this is its fifth straight Playoff appearance?

    Someone -- now, who could that be?? -- asked Ryan Day a question about Urban being 46th on ESPN's list

    Interesting how Chase Young likely gets matched up against Ohio 5-star Jackson Carman

    Does Clemson come up with a contingency plan or just trust Jackson Carman on Young

    Spiels says if Young is as good as advertised, he needs to win one-on-one matchups

    How Clemson will test Ohio State in a way it hasn't been tested yet

    Watch out for this Clemson dude who hasn't been able to play all season. All regular season.

    Ohio State's defensive transformation is amazing; how does Clemson compare?

    Clemson routinely puts a linebacker on opposing slot receivers. Could that work?

    Ohio State wins the 10-year Big Ten title race, by a loooooooong way

    Would Andy Dalton work as Joe Burrow's $17-million backup?

    Without the Transfer Portal, think of the stories we would be denied in College Football this year

    Win a free year's membership for you and your spouse to Premier at Sawmill Athletic Club

    An emailer blames ESPN for the rise of Clemson's football program

    Leagues need dominant legacy programs for that league to be relevant. So, get with it, Michigan, USC

    The essential ingredients for college football programs to dominate over time

    Remember Tom Herman, OSU's offensive coordinator in 2014? Well, he better get busy/

    Plant good seeds, get good crops. In friendship, work, life and faith.

    Thanks for joining us. We appreciate the time you spend listening. It would help us if you'd tell your friends, so they know about us.

    Spiels is home in Ohio, Bruce is on the road in Arizona

    National Signing Day...Spiels memories of his own

    Watch out for the non-headliner in OSU's class. Often, they become a great player.

    Iowa legend Hayden Fry dies at age 90. He has some interesting Buckeye history, and Spielman-related history

    Coaches are so impactful on players' lives at every level.

    Speaking of coaches, we have to speak of Freddie Kitchens, and whether he should remain Browns head coach

    More items for our Browns Dysfunction calendar
