Any conversation with Ohio State defensive coordinator Matt Patricia is a good time, and Dillon Davis and Tim got their questions in along with others after a Buckeyes practice this week.

The D is gonna be different, replacing seven starters from last year, and Patricia seems to embrace the challenge of molding.

Plus, while Dillon and Tim name their preseason national top five and their Heisman favorite, they play a conversation with OSU center Carson Hinzman.

His take on QB Julian Sayin is worth the listen.

Arthur Smith has been on the job for eight months as Ohio State's new offensive coordinator, and he seems even more excited than he was on the first day.

The former Atlanta Falcons head coach and otherwise longtime NFL assistant has taken the play-calling reins of what promises to be one of college football's elite offenses, headlined by receiver Jeremiah Smith and 2025 Heisman Trophy finalist QB Julian Sayin.

Also, there's a conversation with vital transfer safety Earl Little Jr.

Plus, Tim takes a shot at those taking shots at fourth-year wide receiver Brandon Innis, who seems poised to have his best season yet if the ball occasionally heads his way.

When in doubt air it out.

Adam Rittenberg of ESPN.com, considered one of the elite national college sports reporters, joins Tim to talk Big Ten, Ohio State, a little SEC, and, of course, the on-hold Protect College Sports Act as the lawmakers in Washington DC take their summer hiatus.

OSU quarterback Julian Sayin talks about the weapons he has at his disposal and about the sometimes chippy atmosphere on the practice field so far in camp.

And tight end Nate Roberts, who got his foot on the field primarily as a fullback last season, is perhaps the leader of a restocked tight end room this preseason. He discusses that and other things as OSU's camp heads into its second week.

Enjoy!!

Ohio State, the No.1 team in the country according to the coaches' preseason poll, opened camp this week and has leg fans in - for a fee - to check out things, along with the media.

'Double D' Dillon Davis joins Tim again to talk about developments, including the splash transfer WR Devin McCuin has made in the first couple of days.

Plus, there's an extended interview with second-year CB Devin Sanchez, the former 5-star prospect who leaves no doubt that he wants to be great. Now is his time to take that step, and he is embracing it.

The greats just keep coming.

Ohio State enters the 2026 season loaded with championship expectations—but is Ryan Day’s team truly ready for another College Football Playoff run?

Sporting News senior writer Bill Bender joins Tim May to break down the Buckeyes’ biggest questions, including the offensive line, Arthur Smith’s impact, Julian Sayin, Jeremiah Smith and the players who must emerge on defense. They also debate college football’s greatest teams, examine the Big Ten championship race and identify potential surprise contenders such as USC, Washington, Wisconsin and Penn State.

Plus, Tim previews Ohio State training camp, the critical development of Bo Jackson and Isaiah West, the Buckeyes’ brutal schedule and the growing push for federal legislation to stabilize college football.

Watch The Tim May Show on FanStreamSportsOhio.com for expert Ohio State football analysis, Buckeyes news and Big Ten coverage.

With Ohio State about to open preseason camp with a team once again considered capable of winning a national championship, 8th-year head coach Ryan Day talks about the value of having arguably the best player in the country, 3rd-year receiver Jeremiah Smith, stepping forward and speaking up as a leader.

Day also talks about the tough schedule the Buckeyes face, including trips to Texas, Indiana, Southern California and Iowa while hosting Oregon and Michigan, and how it could hone the team for a College Football Playoff run.

Jeremiah Smith agrees, saying that wasn't the case last year. Plus, attorney Luke Fedlam, an expert in the realm of NIL and transfer portal things, speaks on the pluses and minuses of the proposed bill in the Senate which would put some guardrails on college athletics.

Bottom line, there's a good chance college athletics are going to have Feds looking over their shoulders if the bill goes through.

Straighten up! Fly right!

A year after locking in with Tim on the Tim May Show featuring Clay Hall, Clay has opted to step away and, among other things, enjoy his new backyard - including a water feature.

Tim wishes him well, then brings in long-time Ohio State purveyor Doug Lesmerises for a transitional chat about a LOT of things vis-à-vis college football.

Don't worry, Doug is still locked into the popular Bill and Doug Show; he just came over to play with Tim for an afternoon.

And they had fun talking Ohio State football, college football, pending (?) Congressional legislation, and the new-age Big Ten.

Kick back!

Big Ten Media Day nuggets.

Quarterback Julian Sayin taking charge in the QB room, Day's Buckeyes leaving legacy & AD Bjork driving new revenue.

Tim May with illuminating reporting from Chicago's Big Ten Media Days.

He quizzes 'em all:

Eight-year Head Coach Ryan Day, Impeccable receiver Jeremiah Smith, Heisman Finalist Julian Sayin, perhaps the next Caleb Downs, safety Jaylen McClain, & Director of Athletics Ross Bjork.

Former Ohio State and NFL cornerback Marlon Kerner joins the show to talk about a lot of things.

How is Ohio State football-wise?

The Buckeyes stand just over a week away from the opening of preseason camp.

Kerner shares his thoughts on Ohio State cornerbacks Jermaine Matthews and Devin Sanchez, and the challenge for second-year defensive coordinator Matt Patricia.

Clay and Tim enjoy the give-and-take with Kerner, one of those fellas from the original Ohio State talent pipeline from Brookhaven High School.

It's a doubleheader Friday, with Tim first talking with Phil Steele about his coveted preseason college football magazine, considered the "bible" of the sport.

They talk Ohio State, Big Ten and the national scene, and they have a good time doing it.

Steele's take on Ohio State, for example, is spot on.

Then Tim runs down author (The Gales of November, New York Times Best Seller) and Michigan football purveyor John U. Bacon. They discuss the latest happenings in the UM athletic department.

Like others, Bacon heavily criticizes the school's refusal to release some kind of copy of the $11 million internal investigation that, among other things, has led to the removal of athletic director Warde Manuel, but not until the end of the calendar year.

Hahaha. That's right.

He's supposed to play a role in the cleanup of the mess he helped create within the department.

Huh?
