Should we heed the direction of Bushwood Country Club manager Sandy MacReady?: "I want you to kill every gopher on the course!"
That's a tad harsh, but your Buckeyes aim to treat the Minnesota Golden Gophers like Carl Spackler did. It's a night game at The Shoe. The weather is going to be sweet. Recruits are headed to town.
Who better to get you ready for such a weekend? Garrick Hodge and Mark Porter would be the duo to choose and whaddya know ... they're here!
Get the red carpet list, talk commitments and flips and a whole lot more.

Ohio State has been impressive overall through the first four games of the season, but there is the feeling that the offense has been holding some things back. Will the Buckeyes open things up against visiting Minnesota this Saturday night? The Golden Gophers are 3-1, but gave up 27 points in a loss at Cal and gave up 28 points in a win over Rutgers. Therefore, this could be an opportunity to cut quarterback Julian Sayin loose and attack deep down the field on a more regular basis.
Also, how about this OSU offensive line? It is somehow not getting enough attention. We are doing our small part to change that.
That and much more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

Those are (only a few of) the hard-hitting questions our Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter tackled on today's show.

Football coaches can only reveal so much to the media. So, it is our job at times to basically translate what they said and what it means for the team moving forward. On Tuesday, Ohio State head coach Ryan Day held his weekly press conference and answered questions about Eddrick Houston, Bo Jackson and more as the Buckeyes prepare for their game at Washington.
Dave Biddle flies solo on today's show and reads between the lines of what Day said yesterday on many topics. That and more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

When Ohio State hosted Ja'Dyn Williams for the Ohio game 10 days ago, many felt the Indiana commitment would receive the coveted Ohio State offer shortly thereafter.
Maybe it depends on your definition of 'shortly thereafter' but that offer came yesterday. Our Garrick Hodge had the story you can read HERE.
Now what? Will Williams flip? Where would he be utilized as a Buckeye?
There's no better source on this than Mark Porter and The Grand Poobah hogs the spotlight all show long ... thankfully.
We also dive deep on new commitment Angelo Smith. Accepted because of his older brother (see: Jeremiah)?
No. Angelo Smith earned his spot. We have the video to prove it.

Is Ohio State on the verge of flipping an in-state riser ... or two?
Is Matt Patricia engineering a legendary defense?

The Radical Democrats
bros, the Democrats dont care of your needs. Travesty to believe we'd ever see OSU not in the fall.
lmfbo. theyre not starting anything. theyve took over cause we let them. wake up
Its sad that liberalism plagues these schools, then they do this to them. Maybe fore were all dead, eyes might get opened by enough someday to stop it and them.
Colleges love liberalism. Reap it and weep
Democrats choices ruined Ohio State now. Just like small business owners, just like middle class workers, and many more. Hope yall get what ya ask for.
duh...because Left politicians do not care folks. Remember come November if you can get over your "Trump derangement syndrome. They cant and wont. Theyll keep destroying our lives if let to.
from a die-hard born Buckeye. LSU has played and proved they should be 1. Stupid to say diff
If they wouldn't have stupidly picked Haskins over Burrow, we'd have best college team in history
because apparently the NCAA and college football is in bed w Ttun. Only way. How else would the reigning big ten champs not be??
feel free to put your phone on silent during the podcast
good stuff dave
