  • Best of the Best

    Not only does Doug provide the best temperature tests on feelings around Ohio State football, but Bill also provides the best game breakdowns/analyses on the beat. And then you put these two personalities in the same room (so to speak), and you find yourself laughing half the time. It’s the perfect combination of knowledge and entertainment for Buckeye football fans.

  • Best in the business

    Bill and Doug have always been my favorite on the osu beat because of their football knowledge, unbiased analysis, and professionalism when it comes to journalism. I can’t recommend these two more. The highest praise that I can give is these two have managed to win the heart of my (TUN graduate) gf who has previously been uninterested in football. Such great hosts with great chemistry. They seem like very genuine down to earth people as well

  • This is the best Buckeye show

    Doug has a unique ability to consider stories from different angles. He and Bill play well together. I’m sad that their other program, Kings of the North, didn’t have staying power, because it was also terrific.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ohio State preseason practice No. 7: How Matt Patricia says the Buckeyes' defense will fit together
Q: How much are they going to be in a 4-3 with the third linebacker in the field?
Patricia suggested that the base will likely feature more three-linebacker looks than last year, and they will use the front in a way that allows multiple players to contribute, sometimes reducing the reliance on a fixed trio of linebackers.
Wild Legend Bey, Chris Henry Jr. predictions; Ohio State players to watch in camp: Around the Shoe
Q: Make the wildest prediction you can about the opener against Ball State.
Prediction centers on Legend Bay making a noticeable impact early, potentially as the top offensive playmaker in the opener, with the expectation that he earns touches and contributes to explosive plays even if not the feature back from game one.
Ohio State edges Oregon as Big Ten preseason favorite in Bill and Doug Show poll: Around the Shoe
Q: Who do you think is going to win the Big Ten this year?
Most voters favored Ohio State to win, though some still considered Oregon or Indiana strong contenders depending on schedule and health; consensus leaned toward Ohio State with caveats about losses in Big Ten play.
Is this 2026 Oregon team Natty or Bust like the 2024 Buckeyes? Ohio State Schedule Preview Week 10

Q: How much will Luke Wayfold and the 2026 recruiting class impact USC this year?
The top-heavy class has immediate contributors in the mix, and while not every freshman will play, the depth and talent at the top end are expected to accelerate USC's ceiling this season, potentially easing the burden on Maiava.
