  • Michigan Fan

    The title says it all. And everything one would infer about a Michigan fan’s perspective of OSU applies. I hate them but the program is a model of sustained excellence. My respect for Stephen elevated when he questioned the hiring of Matt Patricia (also a Lions fan). Keep the honesty 💯 and I’ll keep listening.

It’s an alright podcast for news and coverage but there are much better pods if your looking for people too enjoy listening too, (such as Buckeye Huddle) Buckeye talk does have a text subscription service that I have been apart of for years and It’s definitely worth it, so I would suggest subs... more

Bo Jackson, Arvell Reese and evaluating Ohio State's running back and linebacker rooms
Q: Stefan, exceeding, meeting or failing short of expectations for the running backs?
I think I'm going to go with meeting expectations just in a very roundabout way and maybe not the way we necessarily predicted it to happen.
Bo Jackson, Arvell Reese and evaluating Ohio State's running back and linebacker rooms
Q: Andrew, starting with the running backs, bunch of different guys ended up getting a lot of carries. Were they exceeding, meeting or falling short of expectations?

Jeremiah Smith, Devin Sanchez and evaluating Ohio State’s wide receiver and cornerback rooms
