The Buckeye Weekly Podcast

In this listener questions episode of the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr address some key Ohio State topics, including who Buckeye fans should be rooting for in the College Football Playoffs.

Should you root for Michigan? What do you think? What about Cincinnati? Would it be okay for Ohio State if Georgia wins it all? Or should Buckeye fans root for their old nemesis Alabama?

The fellas also answer questions about the future of college football. How will the game look in five years? What about 10? There is also a question about the transfer portal and where the players go if they don't go anywhere.

In today's college football, NIL is being talked about more than ever. It seems that some programs are beginning to weaponize it. How will Ohio State keep up in this kind of arms race? Do they even need to?

This is one of the listener questions that Tom Orr and Tony Gerdeman answer in this edition of the Buckeye Weekly Podcast. They also discuss the possible narratives should Cincinnati and Michigan both win their games. They also answer a question as old as time -- how do you fix officiating?

Big Me Kickoff is here, and we are looking at the Big Ten games for the upcoming bowl season. No, we are not talking about the Rose Bowl for Ohio State or the Orange Bowl for Michigan, there will be plenty of time for that as time goes on.

Instead, we are talking about the other games that start on December 28th and run through New Year’s Day. With opt-outs and other moves, will the Big Ten have a winning record or does the fact that the Big Ten gets three teams into the New Year’s Six cost the bottom of the bowl teams as everyone has to punch above their own weight?

It is the Big Me Kickoff show, join me and let’s talk some bowl games.

Ohio State has had another player head for the transfer portal.

Former Top 100 defensive end Darrion Henry-Young is transferring from the Buckeyes. What does this mean for the Ohio State defensive line in 2022? Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss Henry-Young's departure and why it made sense for the young Buckeye.

There is a discussion about potential Rose Bowl opt-outs as well. Which opt-out possibility is the most likely to play?

The fellas also discuss the cancelation of a couple of OSU men's basketball games and talk about when the Buckeyes should be back on the court again.

Buckeye Weekly LIVE is here on the start of the bowl season as two games kick things off with Ohio State's Rose Bowl game still more than two weeks away but rapidly approaching. Join Tom Orr, Tony Gerdeman and Kevin Noon as they take your questions here on Buckeye Weekly Live. We know Cameron Brown is coming back but what's up with other Buckeyes players? What can we expect out of bowl season? All of that and more, don't miss out.

Ohio State has signed another top recruiting class full of a varied group of players.

In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr make some projections on what they see from this class, discussing topics like which Buckeye signee is most likely to be an All-American, who will be All-Big Ten first, who will be the first to start a game, who is the most likely major award winner, and many other similar categories.

It's bowl season and it's also still bold season as Tom Orr and Tony Gerdeman continue to make some bold proclamations, this time looking at the first week of bowl games starting on Friday.

The fellas also look back at their bold predictions from Championship Week to determine if anybody knows what they're talking about.

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day met with reporters on Wednesday to discuss the Buckeyes' 2022 recruiting class. Day spent some time answering questions about a handful of players but was also asked about the impact of the NCAA's new NIL rules on OSU's recruiting and college football as a whole.

In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tom Orr and Tony Gerdeman recap what they learned from what Day had to say about his recruiting class, NIL, the transfer portal, and much more.

Wednesday is early signing day around the college football world and there are still a number of Ohio State targets (and commits) a bit up in the air.

Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss those targets and commits in this episode of the Buckeye Weekly Podcast.

The Buckeyes are in on three top defensive line targets. Will they hit on all three?

Will they lose any of their current commits? What will they be watching for on Wednesday? Are there any surprises lurking for Ohio State?

The fellas discuss all that and more.

Big Me Kickoff is here and starting off the week with some talk about the recent Heisman Trophy ceremony. Sure, CJ Stroud did not win the biggest individual award in college football but he handled himself over the weekend like a real professional, even if someone else in the public eye did not. We will have more on that as well as who we like to be on that stage once again in a year for the 2022 edition of the award.

How do you get the Ryan Day to wherever rumors to stop? We have an idea and it is a pretty simple one but it ain’t going to come cheap.

And we are talking a little college basketball to round out the show as the Buckeyes are once again a top-15 team.

Be sure to join Kevin Noon for his Big Me Kickoff here on Friday at BuckeyeScoop and don’t miss a single thing.
