Throughout the year, Land-Grant Holy Land will be bringing you uncut audio primarily from Ohio State press conferences, but also from individual interview sessions.
The Ohio State women's basketball team broke all kinds of streaks Wednesday night, in a trip east. Facing the Maryland Terrapins, the Buckeyes battled for three quarters before pulling away for an 84-76 victory. It ended a 19-game home streak for Maryland and gave Ohio State its first win in the Xfinity Center since Jan. 2, 2016.
Following the game, head coach Kevin McGuff and forwards Cotie McMahon and Rebeka Mikulášiková talked with the media on a number of topics.
In a combined media format, Coach McGuff discussed the defensive changes, away from the full court press, that the Buckeyes needed to make against a Maryland team playing small lineups. Also, playing tough games in the Big Ten and how playing Maryland before facing the Iowa Hawkeyes was preferred to the coach. Plus, the trust he had for guard Celeste Taylor to continue playing in the first half despite picking up two early fouls.
Mikulášiková and McMahon talked about their impressive performances. For the Slovakian forward, Mikulášiková gave credit to her teammates on her team-high 20-point performance. McMahon discussed the motivation that put the sophomore into another level of intensity in a fourth quarter where she picked up four offensive rebounds.
That and more on the latest Land-Grant Uncut.

Hangout in the Holy Land: Who are some players to keep an eye on this year for the Buckeyes?

Welcome to a new episode of Land-Grant Podcast Network’s I-80 Football Show. On this show, we travel down I-80 to talk all things Big Ten Football. This is the only Big Ten Podcast that’ll cover all 18 teams. After every week of action, we will catch you up on all the conference’s games and look ahead at the matchups, storylines, and players you should be paying attention to for the next week. My name is Jordan Williams, and I am joined by my co-host Dante Morgan.
Unless you care about court cases or early season television schedules it’s been a slow week in the college football news space. Slow for everything not related to the new college football video game. EA Sports allowed a bunch of journalists to play the new game which led to massive new drops in features, gameplay, sights, and sounds. First things first, EA College Football ‘25 is a horrible name. Like Twitter, we will stubbornly be calling this game by its old name. With all of the time and effort spent making the game, unfortunately, they won’t just pay for the ‘NCAA’ branding. Aside from calling it by its rightful name, we would accept another “Madden” where they name the game after one of the best coaches of all time. Saban ‘25 has a nice ring to it. 
So far EA Sports is winning the press conference, it’s naive to believe that this game is not going to be similar to Madden in any way seeing that they are both built on the same Frostbite gaming engine but if the reports are to be believed it is a unique product. Despite the positive news we still have questions, namely, will there be any sort of cut scenes and replays like the old game? How will the crowd noise affect gameplay? Plus, will the actual gameplay suffer due to the focus on visuals? If you care about the new video game and even if you don’t sit down with us as we walk through all the news and brainstorm the potential downfalls of trusting EA Sports to make a good game on the first try.

I-80 Football Show: I Will Not Call This Game By It's Name

As the college football off-season rolls on, it’s the part of the year when less news out of the program is likely better. However, there are still some eventful things that have taken place since our last episode.
We start this show with a discussion of the Buckeyes who opted out. Six players are departing via the transfer portal after spring practice. We discuss those leaving and what it means for Ohio State. Dallan Hayden has to be the primary name among those leaving, and his was likely the brightest future in Columbus.
Following out transfer portal departure discussion, we check in on the 2024 recruits who are arriving on campus this summer. Although most of the incoming class arrived in the spring, there are some summer arrivals that fans shouldn’t sleep on.
While much of the discussion about transfers has to be devoted to the multiple folks leaving, there was a key arrival in the portal as well. Keenan Nelson was added to the Ohio State roster and he could be an upgrade in the depth department.
Ohio State will play the Northwestern Wildcats at Wrigley Field on Nov. 16. We’re not the biggest fans of the idea, although there isn’t a great substitute for games on campus in our view. Still, this one doesn’t excite us in the way some people seem to be fans of the announcement. We talk through this upcoming football game in a baseball facility. 
Finally, we talked about a trio of former Buckeyes who were selected in the recent NFL Draft and have signed their first professional contracts. Marvin Harrison, Jr., Cade Stover, and Tommy Eichenberg are getting paid well to play football on Sundays now.
We’ll continue coming at you monthly in the college football off-season, with plans to return to our weekly schedule in August 2024. We’d love to hear from you, so please reach out with your feedback and questions below in the comments section or send us an email.

Silver Bullets Podcast: Outbound OSU Transfers, Incoming Freshmen & NFL Buckeyes

Welcome to a new episode of Land-Grant Podcast Network’s I-80 Football Show. On this show, we travel down I-80 to talk all things Big Ten Football. This is the only Big Ten Podcast that’ll cover all 18 teams. After every week of action, we will catch you up on all the conference’s games and look ahead at the matchups, storylines, and players you should be paying attention to for the next week. My name is Jordan Williams, and I am joined by my co-host Dante Morgan.
It has been a heavy news week for college football as the sport continues to change in front of our eyes. In a landmark decision, the NCAA and the Power Five conferences have agreed to a settlement that will change the face of college athletics and let student athletes be paid. While there is not much information out just yet there will be more to come. Speaking of athletes getting paid EA Sports has finally released information about EA College Football ‘25 including its release date of July 19th, 2024. The game will also be bundled with Madden, it’s still early but there will surely be more information on the way soon.
TNT Sports, which is on its way to losing the media rights to the NBA, has agreed to sublicense College Football Playoff games from ESPN for the next five seasons. In non-football news, the WNBA has announced Toronto as the city for its 14th expansion team. The hope is for there to still be 16 teams before the 2026 season.
The 2024 season is getting close and while it’s not quite preview season it is a perfect time to look ahead at which games we’re looking forward to this year. In this episode, we rank the ten games that have us the most excited including Ohio State vs. Oregon and Michigan vs. USC. Whether we think it’ll be good games or we want a team we hate to lose this list of games already has our attention in May. Which games are on your radar this early?

I-80 Football Show: Ranking The Ten Games We Can't Wait To Watch in 2024

“Bucketheads” is LGHL’s men’s basketball podcast, hosted by Connor Lemons and Justin Golba. In every episode, they give you the latest scoop on the Ohio State Buckeyes and everything else happening in college hoops.
For episode 120 of the Bucketheads podcast, we welcome back Joe Gemma of Ohio State Athletics for the record-setting fourth time. Joe joined us to talk about his new job with the athletic department and his role with the basketball program moving forward.
We also discussed the 24 hours before and after Chris Holtmann's firing and navigating that as a social media manager. We also discussed the three weeks after the firing as Jake Diebler was the head coach and what it was like when he was named head coach.
At the end, we discuss Roddy Gayle's transfer to Michigan and then get off the rails a bit and discuss Columbus sandwiches and Joe’s hot take about a certain NFL quarterback.
