The Buckeye Weekly Podcast

In this edition of the Big Me Kickoff, to take a page out of Johnny Cash’s playbook, we’ve been everywhere. This job has its perks and getting to see road games is one of those perks, covering the Ohio State football team.

But we know that we are not the only ones who get to go on the road as Ohio State fans are known far and wide as some of the most dedicated fans when it comes to traveling with the team and turning road venues into their own versions of The Horseshoe.

So, as we are still months away from the season, it got us to thinking about the upcoming road schedule and venues like Penn State and Michigan State, among others.

Where have you been? Where would you like to go? Do you try and stay as close to the stadium as possible, or do you stay in the middle of all the action?

This will lead us to a later question down the road about traveling, but for now here on the Big Me Kickoff, we want to hear your answers as to where you have been, what you like and what you don’t like on the road. Join Kevin Noon and spend the next 25 minutes or so talking about life on the road.

In this episode, Tom Orr and Tony Gerdeman discuss Harbaugh's current situation and then break down 11 different candidates and the possibilities that they could end up in Michigan, as well as what kind of fit they would be there.

It's the Big Me Kickoff show and we had so many other things planned for National Signing Day, even with the Buckeyes only signing two players on the traditional date. No, news out of Ann Arbor (Mich.) has us all a flutter to talk about the potential loss of head coach Jim Harbaugh. Why exactly do the Vikings want him? Is this good or bad for the Buckeyes? Who are the Wolverines going to look at? We don't have a lot of answers but here on the Big Me Kickoff show, we have plenty to talk about with host Kevin Noon.

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day met with reporters on Monday for the first time since the Rose Bowl ended. He took time to discuss his recent coaching hires and what went into his decision to overhaul the bulk of the defensive staff. The new coaches also spoke with reporters afterward. Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr recap much of what was said on the afternoon and discuss what it means for the program moving forward.

In this special bonus mini-episode of the Buckeye Weekly podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss the latest with Jim Harbaugh's pursuit of an NFL head coaching job.

He didn't get the Las Vegas Raiders job, but interviewed with the Minnesota Vikings over the weekend, and is apparently in the running for the Miami Dolphins' spot as well.

What does it mean that he's been in the running for so many different spots, and how likely is it that he'll end up coming back to Ann Arbor?
