Land-grant Holy Land: For Ohio State Buckeyes Fans

The latest episode of Land-Grant Holy Land’s flagship podcast is here! Join LGHL’s Josh Dooley and Chuck Holmes as they discuss Ohio State football, recruiting, and much, much more! Come for the hot takes, stay for the warm ones. On this episode of “Hangout in the Holy Land,” Josh and Chuck begin to shift their focus toward *ichigan, but not before recapping Ohio State football’s thumping of Minnesota, as well as the men’s basketball team and their awkward start to this ‘23-24 season. It’s (Western) *ichigan week! The OSU men’s basketball team takes on WMU today, and it’s all the Hangout boys can talk about... But really, what’s going on with Chris Holtmann’s squad? Are fans in for a repeat of last season? After starting on the hardwood, the hosts then transition to the gridiron. The Buckeyes dominated another B1G West team, and did well to not look ahead to the Wolverines. While QB Kyle McCord could have been a tad sharper, Senior Day in The Shoe was otherwise a success across the board. And now it’s time to

On LGHL Instant Recap Pods, Land-Grant Holy Land writers break down Ohio State games just minutes after the action ends. They bring you the biggest stats, storylines, and moments of the game before the players make it back to the locker room. Justin Golba and Jordan Williams join up for the first time this season to talk about Ohio State defeating Minnesota 37-3. There aren't too many things to take away from a game like this, so the recap podcast quickly transitioned to a Michigan preview podcast. What makes us feel good about the Buckeyes going into this one? What are our concerns going into Ann Arbor? Also, they discuss Ryan Day and his coaching job thus far this season and the Buckeye's improvements on defense throughout the season. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact Jordan Williams Twitter: @jordanw330 Contact Justin Golba Twitter: justin_golba Learn more about your ad choices.

Throughout the year, Land-Grant Podcast Network will be bringing you uncut audio primarily from Ohio State press conferences, but also from individual interview sessions. Following a 76-52 win over Merrimack, we spoke to Roddy Gayle, Evan Mahaffey, and head coach Chris Holtmann about what worked and what did not. Gayle was asked about the multiple dunks he threw down, but also made a point to say that Holtmann and Jake Diebler “put him in positions where he was allowed to fail,” which has been crucially important in his development. Mahaffey talked about how Ohio State wanted to attack Merrimack’s zone, which included his ability to sit in the middle and open up the floor more for others. Holtmann spoke afterwards, and was exceedingly complimentary of Gayle, Devin Royal, and Felix Okpara, who started the game but only played 12 minutes. Holtmann said Merrimack’s big man made it hard on Okpara, and that Zed Key was “just the better option tonight.” Sign up with MyBookie using our link to receive your welcome b

The latest episode of Land-Grant Holy Land’s flagship podcast is here! Join LGHL’s Josh Dooley and Chuck Holmes as they discuss Ohio State football, recruiting, and much, much more! Come for the hot takes, stay for the warm ones. On this episode of “Hangout in the Holy Land,” the dynamic duo is back together, and they’ve got some bones to pick. Josh and Chuck call out University of Michigan football coaches - as well as the university’s ‘leadership’ - for their absurd behavior. Is U of M’s response to Big Ten punishment legit? Or some form of obnoxious trolling? Next, after a quick recap of Ryan Day’s Tuesday press conference, the Hangout boys jump into a preview of Ohio State-Minnesota (on the gridiron). The Buckeyes host their final home game of the 2023-24 season Saturday, with a trip to Ann Arbor looming in the not-so-distant future. So for OSU, this weekend’s gameplan should focus on starting fast, scoring often, and hopefully sitting stars late. Please make sure to like, rate, review, and subscribe to t

“Bucketheads” is LGHL’s men’s basketball podcast, hosted by Connor Lemons and Justin Golba. Every episode, they give you the latest scoop on the Ohio State Buckeyes and everything else happening in the college hoops world. On the newest episode of Bucketheads, Connor and Justin recap the Texas A&M loss. As always for home games, Connor was boots on the ground and covering the game while Justin watched it, like everyone else, from his couch. Was the loss to Texas A&M concerning? Or one loss against a good team? What were the main takeaways from the Buckeye's loss, and how can they improve on that moving into the Emerald Coast Classic? Also, we talk about the Gavitt Games, what is going on with the Big Ten, and Justin's rant about Kent State-James Madison.

For once, it was nice to not have to sit through a frustrating first half waiting for Ohio State to put some drives together and take control of the game. The Buckeyes dominated the Michigan State Spartans from start to finish and fans got to see quite a few backups in the second half, especially in the fourth quarter. We break down Ohio State’s easy night in those cool, gray, alternate uniforms. We also looked back at our score predictions and our picks to click to see how we fared at prognosticating the game. After our Sparty rewind, we took our usual walk through the other Big Ten results, including that big game over in Happy Valley. If you like defense or hate offense (or both), that was the game for you. Of course, we had to also dive into the Michigan sign-stealing scandal and the Big Ten’s response late last week. We also had to point out the ludicrous reaction by the Wolverines after the game as they painted themselves as the victims when that’s not really how breaking the rules works. Finally, we lo

The latest episode of Land-Grant Holy Land’s flagship podcast is here! Join LGHL’s Josh Dooley and Chuck Holmes as they discuss Ohio Statefootball, recruiting, and much, much more! Come for the hot takes, stay for the warm ones. On this episode of “Hangout in the Holy Land,” Chuck finally gets his wish to run point and do (most of) a pod without Josh! He recaps a Buckeye blowout on the gridiron, a tough defeat on the hardwood, and all the other Ohio State-related news you can handle. But first, both of the Hangout boys weigh in briefly on the ongoing and seemingly never-ending Michigan saga. Did new Big Ten commish Tony Petitti handle this situation correctly? Did the punishment fit the crime? And what now? Next up is OSU men’s basketball... And finally, Chuck gets to the main course: A Buckeye football recap. After two straight good-not-great performances on the road, Ryan Day’s squad was back in The Shoe on Saturday night and put a four-quarter thumping on the Michigan State Spartans. Ohio State coasted to

On LGHL Instant Recap Pods, Land-Grant Holy Land writers break down Ohio State games just minutes after the action ends. They bring you the biggest stats, storylines, and moments of the game before the players make it back to the locker room. The Ohio State Buckeyes used a nearly flawless first half to blowout the Michigan State Spartans 38-3 on Saturday night. In what is unquestionably Kyle McCord's best game as the Buckeyes' starter, he went 24-for-31 for 335 yards and 3 touchdowns. Marvin Harrison Jr. continued to make his Heisman Trophy candidacy case with 149 yards receiving and TDs through the air and another -- his first -- rushing. The OSU defense was a bit banged up without starting safeties Lathan Ransom and Josh Proctor or captain and starting linebacker Tommy Eichenberg, but -- despite giving up a little bit of yardage early on -- held Michigan State to just 182 yards of total offense. The Ohio State special teams continue to be a problem, but we are focusing on good vibes tonight. Sign up with My

Throughout the year, Land-Grant Podcast Network will be bringing you uncut audio primarily from Ohio State press conferences, but also from individual interview sessions. Following Texas A&M’s 73-66 win over the Buckeyes in Columbus, both head coaches, as well as select players, spoke to the media about the grindy, gritty non-conference bout. Bruce Thornton and Jamison Battle spoke first. Thornton mentioned Ohio State’s struggles at the free throw line no fewer than five times, saying that if the Buckeyes had hit a few more, they’d have been in “a much better spot.” Battle mentioned that his team fouled a few too many times, which handed the Aggies free points. We then spoke to Tyrece “Boots” Radford and Henry Coleman, who both scored 20+ points in the game. Radford said the game was just “two teams hooping” and going “bucket for bucket,” but that the Aggies were the team able to string a few baskets together at the end of the game and pull out the win. Buzz Williams followed and was able to recite exactly ho

Land-Grant Holy Land’s Stick to Sports is unlike any podcast you’ve heard on the Ohio State beat. Your hosts, Matt Tamanini and Jami Jurich, will (of course) talk Ohio State sports, but the primary focus of the show will be on what’s going on around the periphery, such as weird/funny happenings in college football and the sports world at large, as well as other things that keep us interested in between games. On this episode of the Land-Grant Podcast Network's sports-adjacent podcast "Stick to Sports," Matt Tamanini and Jami Jurich call out all of the haters who said C.J. Stroud was overrated and nothing more than a system quarterback. They also look ahead to the Ohio State men's basketball season on the eve of their second game as they welcome the No. 15 Texas A&M Aggies to the Schott. They also dive into the latest -- pre-suspension -- hilarity that is this Michigan sign-stealing fiasco and their feelings on the first half of the "Great British Baking Show" season. Jami's Recommendation: "Drink Masters" htt

“Bucketheads” is LGHL’s men’s basketball podcast, hosted by Connor Lemons and Justin Golba. Every episode, they give you the latest scoop on the Ohio State Buckeyes and everything else happening in the college hoops world. On this week’s episode of “Bucketheads”, we have real basketball to talk about and dissect. The Ohio State men’s basketball team opened its season up on Monday night against Oakland, winning a closer contest than most people expected 79-73. We talk about what the Buckeyes did well and what the Buckeyes need to improve upon. But at the end of the day, a win is a win. Now, the Buckeyes will turn their focus to Texas A&M on Friday night. We preview that matchup and talk about what makes the Aggies so tough. Also, we close by talking about the 5-star 2024 center that just listed Ohio State in his final four.

The latest episode of Land-Grant Holy Land’s flagship podcast is here! Join LGHL’s Josh Dooley and Chuck Holmes as they discuss Ohio State football, recruiting, and much, much more! Come for the hot takes, stay for the warm ones. On this episode of “Hangout in the Holy Land,” Josh and Chuck overreact to losses or near-losses by both Ohio State basketball squads, injury woes for the Buckeyes’ football team, and the sense both get that this whole Michigan investigation will be fumbled, bumbled, and/or just plain f*cked by both the Big Ten and NCAA. The hosts kick things off with a little basketball talk. Because it’s been a while, and the Buckeye ballers are back, baby! Unfortunately, the OSU women dropped a tough opener to USC, while the men barely squeaked by Oakland... Of the Horizon League. Not a great start, but as in basketball and as in life, both squads will look to rebound. The Hangout boys then move on to Ohio State football, as they discuss a Scarlet and Gray squad that remains both undefeated and im

Ohio State concluded its two-game road trip with a 35-16 win over Rutgers that was far more frustrating in the first half than the second. Greg Schiano has a tough, physical football team with a sound defense and it took Ohio State a minute to figure it out. Despite trailing 9-7 at halftime, the Buckeyes found another gear in the second half after a 93-yard interception return for a touchdown by Jordan Hancock and never trailed again. We look back at another meh offensive performance, check in on our score predictions, and analyze the game overall. We also checked back on the players we picked to click and it was not a great night for our selections on the offensive side of the football. We took our usual walk through the other results around the Big Ten, where there still doesn’t seem to be anyone who wants to hang onto the lead in the B1G West. We thought it might be Nebraska, but apparently not. Iowa is in the driver’s seat now, which usually spells disaster for any team in that position. Finally, we looke

The latest episode of Land-Grant Holy Land’s flagship podcast is here! Join LGHL’s Josh Dooley and Chuck Holmes as they discuss Ohio State football, recruiting, and much, much more! Come for the hot takes, stay for the warm ones. On this episode of “Hangout in the Holy Land,” Josh and Chuck discuss a surprisingly entertaining weekend of college football, air out concerns and disagreements RE: Kyle McCord, praise TreVeyon Henderson, and make quite clear that they can no longer defend the presence or performance of at least one Ohio State position coach. The hosts kick things off by recapping a wild CFB weekend, highlighted by big-time matchups and several closely contested results. Some national contenders rose to the occasion, while others saw their CFP hopes come to an end. And in other news, the Ohio State Buckeyes played... It was not an instant classic, but OSU won and somehow covered against Rutgers. However, the team’s continued struggles and/or lack of progress - plus their mounting injuries - certainl

On LGHL Instant Recap Pods, Land-Grant Holy Land writers break down Ohio State games just minutes after the action ends. They bring you the biggest stats, storylines, and moments of the game before the players make it back to the locker room. It wasn't always pretty -- and none of them have been this season -- but not only did the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes get out of Piscataway, New Jersey with a win, but they also got a cover, which we all know that great teams do. The Buckeyes knocked off the Rutgers Scarlet Knights by a score of 35 to 16. The final score does not accurately convey just how close the game was and how much trouble it appeared that OSU was in at different points in the game. However, the defense and TreVeyon Henderson ended up showing why they are among the best at what they do and turned what was a close, contentious game into the third quarter into a runaway win. On this postgame show, Matt Tamanini and Justin Golba discuss what worked and what didn't for OSU and get into what Ryan Day and

Throughout the year, Land-Grant Holy Land will be bringing you uncut audio primarily from Ohio State press conferences, but also from individual interview sessions. Monday, the Ohio State women's basketball team held a public practice one week before the start of the 23-24 season. Before practice, head coach Kevin McGuff, forward Cotie McMahon and guard Jacy Sheldon spoke with the media. Coach McGuff talked about the upcoming game against USC, how he thinks this Buckeyes team could be special and how they aren't close to where they could be right now. Also, the scarlet and gray's leader named Rebeka Mikulášiková the starting forward following the end of the 22-23 season where the Slovakian graduate senior lost her starting role at the end of the season. McMahon talks about going into her sophomore season with a lot more preseason accolades following a breakout second half of her freshman season. The forward also talks about her growing role as a leader on the team, playing alongside people that she'll play ag
