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.
After Ohio State’s 71-65 road loss to the Indiana Hoosiers, we spoke with Bruce Thornton, Zed Key and Chris Holtmann down in the bowels of Assembly Hall.
Thornton said that this loss stung because they know how much winning on the road means in the Big Ten, and they felt they had an opportunity to roll into Assembly Hall and pick up a win. Key said Ohio State got a lot of good, open looks and second-chance opportunities, but the shots that fall all the time for them were not falling on Saturday night.
Holtmann said one of Ohio State’s biggest struggles was getting clean, unobstructed looks below the basket. Even on second-chance opportunities, Malik Reneau and Kel’el Ware made it really tough to finish. He also said that, despite going 3-for-17, he does not think Roddy Gayle was “pressing.”

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.

This Hangout in the Holy Land episode is an unreasonable expectation theme week at Land Grant Holy Land. But what does that really mean? We discuss unreasonable expectations and the difference between bold predictions.
Then, Josh and Justin discuss some scenarios and whether those are unreasonable or reasonable expectations for the football team in 2024-25. And no, winning a national championship is not on the list.
To close, we discuss the expectations of the Ohio State men’s basketball team this year and for the program in the future.

Hangout in the Holy Land: What are reasonable and unreasonable expectations this season?

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.
The guys are back talking Big Ten football and this week it’s coaches' rankings. A couple weeks back Jordan wrote an article ranking the 18 coaches in the Big Ten entering the 2024 season. So for this episode, Jordan and Dante break down this ranking to see what Jordan got wrong. Starting with Mike Locksley at no. 15. There may have been a judgment error there as Maryland has been a pretty solid program the past few seasons. Is that because of Mike Locksley or despite his flaws as a coach? 
Where should Lincoln Riley be ranked? While at Oklahoma he has multiple playoff appearances and Big 12 championships but he did not build the Oklahoma Sooner program he inherited it. In his two years at USC, he hasn’t won a PAC-12 title or made the playoffs and wasted the last year of Caleb Williams. How much does previous success outweigh the last few years for a coach and what should we do with one-year wonders like David Braun at Northwestern?
In their weekly pitstop, Jordan wishes Dante a happy 30th birthday and bemoans the fact that from 2024-2026 their entire friend group will be turning 30 and trying to have major celebrations. Who has the time and money for all of that?
