    Please take that commercial off of that woman who sounds like she’s in the middle of intense sex. It’s nauseating.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Does It Seem Like Ohio State "Always Loses Out" On Top Recruits?
Q: Why does it seem like Ohio State always misses out on the top tier kids?
The hosts explain it's less about Ohio State losing to one rival and more about competing against a large field of programs; timing, perception, and roster-building realities (like NIL and quarterback depth) all play roles, and while misses happen, the program also secures significant targets and top players.
What Kind of Runner Does Julian Sayin Need to Be?
Q: What would be a reasonable season-high in rushing attempts for Sayin, without sacks counted?
A couple more carries per game than last year, with a total around a handful per game and a 4-6 carry range in several games, but not aiming for heavy workload like Will Howard; overall, enough to keep defenses honest.
What Kind of Runner Does Julian Sayin Need to Be?
Q: What does more QB run look like for the Ohio State Buckeyes this year?
They'll use Sayin as a plausible threat to pull the ball and run, mainly to extend drives and add a plus-one in the run game, while keeping most carries modest but strategic.
Ohio State Football Insider: Can Linebackers Maintain Their Standard?
Q: How does the coaching staff expect the linebacker room to handle being on edge and competing for starting roles?
The staff stresses relentless competition, mental engagement, and readiness to play multiple spots, with leaders like Peyton Pierce and TJ Alford reflecting a culture where players must push each other and stay prepared for any assignment.
Ohio State Football Insider: Can Linebackers Maintain Their Standard?
Q: What would James Laurinaitis know about getting someone like Allegro to become a productive NFL player and a college All-American?
Laurinaitis cites proven multi-positional versatility and toughness as indicators of what Allegro can become, emphasizing the path from under-recruited beginnings to high-level play through practical experience and leadership in the linebacker room.
