  • Arthur Smith, 2026 Ohio State Schedule, and Transfer Portal Arrivals

    Arthur Smith, 2026 Ohio State Schedule, and Transfer Portal Arrivals
    Feb 24 2026
    We’re back with our February offseason episode, which starts with a lengthy letter from a listener. We’re always happy to hear from our listeners, and in this case, the email prompted quite a bit of discussion about Ryan Day, Julian Sayin, and other aspects of Ohio State football. We love a good conversation starter!

    We also covered a whole lot of offseason topics, with one of the primary ones being the hiring of Arthur Smith as the team’s new offensive coordinator. We discussed how it may affect the passing game and help Bo Jackson and the running game in 2026. We still expect the deep ball to Jeremiah Smith to be part of the offense, but you may experience some new flavors this year.

    There are more than 300 players heading to the NFL Combine and 11 of them are Buckeyes. We talk about who is going and the entire pre-draft process. Our discussion of Ohio State’s 2026 schedule includes the complete slate of games, and this fall looks to be a true gauntlet for the men of the scarlet & gray. The Buckeyes will have their hands full, with a lot of difficult road tests in hostile environments, and a lot of top-quality teams. If Day can navigate those turbulent waters to another College Football Playoff appearance, his team will be battle tested.

    There are a lot of new arrivals in the transfer portal, and we give a rundown of who’s new. There are exciting new arrivals on offense, defense, and special teams, and it seems Day has prioritized that third phase of the game in this offseason.

    NOTE: We are in our offseason schedule, so we will be back at least monthly, with the understanding that we may convene if we line up a guest, get some unexpectely big news, or just get a whole lot of noteworthy things to talk about. If not, we’ll see you next month.

  • Cotton Bowl Rewind and Ohio State Transfer Portal News

    Cotton Bowl Rewind and Ohio State Transfer Portal News
    Jan 6 2026
    What began as a promising 2025 Ohio State football season and morphed into an apparent historic one came crashing to earth with back-to-back losses and a suddently completely overmatched offensive line. Julian Sayin spent his second straight game spending more time looking at guys trying to sack him than his options downfield. The Buckeyes started slowly, seemed to recover in the third quarter, and then faded again at the end, just when things were looking up.

    We break down a disappointing Cotton Bowl performance that added another layer to our lack of enthusiasm for New Year’s Eve games. We looked back at the key moments in Ohio State’s 24-14 loss to the Miami Hurricanes, checked in on our picks to click, and didn’t even bother to entertain who “won” in our game predictions.

    After our Cotton Bowl rewind, we looked at one former OSU offensive coordinator returning to the Big Ten — but not to Columbus — and Brian Hartline’s successor as the receivers coach for Ohio State. Where does the best school at producing NFL wide receivers turn? To the second-best school at producing wide receivers, naturally. But who is going to call the plays for those receivers? [thinking face emoji goes here]

    Finally, we looked at the insanity that is the transfer window. Seemingly everyone who didn’t start for Ohio State in 2025 is going in, which is weird when you consider how many starters are leaving, but who knows how it will all work out. There are some successful OSU transfer stories, and a bunch of not-so-good ones. But there aren’t just players leaving. Some are already arriving as well, and we discuss what is almost certainly an out-of-date list by the time you hear this podcast.

    NOTE: We are in our offseason schedule, so we will be back at least monthly, with the understanding that we may convene if we line up a guest, get some unexpectely big news, or just get a whole lot of noteworthy things to talk about. If not, we’ll see you next month.

    0:20 - Buckeye football season comes to a premature conclusion after a costly slow start in the Cotton Bowl.

    22:36 - The college coaching carousel sees a familiar name headed to Northwestern and a new face succeed Brian Hartline as wide receivers coach.

  • Michigan's New Coach and Ohio State-Miami Preview

    Michigan's New Coach and Ohio State-Miami Preview
    Dec 30 2025
    We’re back from our one-week hiatus to get you ready for Ohio State against Miami in the Cotton Bowl Classic. The Buckeyes and Hurricanes figure to be one of the better matchups in the quarterfinals, and it should be an interesting game.

    Before we get into our preview, we discuss the latest Ohio State players to have their black helmet stripes removed. Practices between the end of the regular season and the bowls is always vital, and so it was for linebacker Eli Lee and tight end Brody Lennon, who both became “official” Buckeyes just two days before Christmas. That’s a pretty cool gift from Santa.

    Following our OSU camp news, we dive into Michigan’s hiring of former Utah coach Kyle Whittingham. As far as trying to erase the stench of the scandal-filled Jim Harbaugh and Sherrone Moore years, that school up north could hardly have found a better candidate to lead the football team in the right way. Whittingham’s teams are always hard-nosed, physical teams that run the ball and play sound defense. That said, will he be a good fit in the midwest? He hasn’t exactly moved around as a head coach, so it will be interesting to see how he adapts to Ann Arbor (and how the Wolverines adapt to him). Urban Meyer now has branches of his coaching tree on both sides of the greatest rivalry in college football.

    Finally, we go into a lengthy discussion of the Miami Hurricanes, who will present some challenges for Ohio State, especially when the Buckeyes have the ball. Indiana sacked Julian Sayin five times, and the Hurricanes’ strength is on the defensive line, so the slobs up front for Ohio State will have their work cut out for them.

    We talked briefly about Miami’s win at Texas A&M, broke down many of the key players Buckeye fans should watch out for, and discussed the critical matchups. We also provide our Ohio State player picks to click and tried our hand at predicting the final score of the Cotton Bowl.

    We’ll be back next week to see how we — and the Buckeyes — made out.
