Land-grant Holy Land: For Ohio State Buckeyes Fans

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. The Ohio State women's basketball team looked like their early season selves on Monday, in a trip to the Michigan Wolverines. In the 74-61 Buckeyes rivalry win, Ohio State clinched a top-four spot and a double-bye in the Big Ten Tournament and showed that they can compete and win against ranked Big Ten teams. Following the victory, head coach Kevin McGuff and guard Rikki Harris spoke to the media at the Crisler Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Coach McGuff applauded Harris' 23-point night, leading Ohio State in the win. Also, the adjustments the team had to make early in the first quarter, the effectiveness of the full court press and how Taylor Mikesell and Cotie McMahon made their presence known for moments of the game. Harris follows the coach and talks about her impressive night, how she came into college as a scorer and is now getting back to t

Welcome to a new episode of Land-Grant Holy Land’s I-70 podcast. On this show, we talk about all things Big Ten football and basketball. After every week of action, we will get you caught up on all the conference’s games and look ahead at the matchups, storylines, and players that you should be paying attention to in the next week. My name is Jordan Williams, and I am joined by my co-host Dante Morgan. After a week off we are back with our final 2022 season recap. We talk through the dreg of the Big Ten focusing on the five teams that did not make bowl games. Many of the five teams are in different places in their program. Indiana and Northwestern should enter the season with coaches on the hot seat. Pat Fitzgerald is a Northwestern legend and it’s unlikely he’ll be fired despite going 1-11 but Tom Allen will need to improve after going 4-8 in 2022.  Nebraska fired Scott Frost mid-season and struggled to find an identity or consistency on either side of the ball as the defense took a significant step back fro

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. The Ohio State women's basketball team got back into the win column with a trip to State College, Pennsylvania. After the 67-55 Thursday night victory, head coach Kevin McGuff, guard Rikki Harris and forward Cotie McMahon spoke to the media. In the latest Uncut Podcast, coach McGuff breaks down an all-around sloppy victory for the Buckeyes, including a fourth quarter where the Nittany Lions cut their 29-point deficit down to 12 points, thanks to 18 points by guard Makenna Marisa. McGuff also discusses a big night for Harris, McMahon leading the charge for Ohio State and the strategy of guard Taylor Mikesell who defenses aren't allowing to find any open space offensively. Harris talks about getting back into a good shooting rhythm in only her fourth mulitple three-point shot game of the season, adjusting to Mikesell's limited productivity and getti

On today’s episode of “Buck Off with Christopher Renne,” I’m joined by Jordan Williams to discuss Ohio State burying any remaining respect the Pac-12 had for itself. We start the episode with our week’s ahead and some news around the sport. I get into a discussion about my new found career of wizarding and Jordan discusses his weekend plans visiting friends. After that, we turn to Ohio State football to discuss the biggest news of the week. Ohio State cancelled a their home-and-home series with Washington in 2024 and 2025, as you know Washington Huskies fans are not taken the news well. We discuss the reasoning behind this move and how the changing landscape of college football will create more game cancellations like this one across the country. After that our discussion continues forward and we transition to talking about Ohio State’s staff hires not included in the 11 full-time coaches on staff. This includes Mark Pantoni’s recent recruiting staff hire, Gene Smith’s hire to his leadership program, and a ce

Bucketheads’ is the only men’s basketball-focused podcast in the LGHL family of podcasts, co-hosts Connor Lemons and Justin Golba give the latest scoop on the Ohio State Buckeyes as well as all the other happenings in the college hoops world. ‘Bucketheads’ will be released every Thursday morning throughout the regular season. The main topic on last week's “Bucketheads” podcast was the idea that if the Buckeyes beat Northwestern and Michigan State then they could put themselves back on track to make the NCAA Tournament. Since then, they lost to both of those teams and are now 11-14 and 3-11 in the Big Ten conference with their only hope of making the tournament is winning the Big Ten tournament or winning out in the regular season. So Connor and Justin talked about the 2023 season and why they are still giving the coaching staff a vote of confidence heading into next season. Also, they looked back on their preseason Final Four predictions and checked in on how those teams are doing. Connect with the Podcast: T

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. It's gone from bad to worse for the Ohio State women's basketball team. Not only because of theri 83-59 home loss to the No. 2 Indiana Hoosiers, but a growing list of injuries coming at the wrong time of the season. Following the Buckeyes' defeat, head coach Kevin McGuff and forwards Eboni Walker and Cotie McMahon spoke to the media about not only the loss but Ohio State's recent form. Coach McGuff specifically called out the moments in the first half that allowed their deficit to balloon up to 27 points, and what the team is doing when games get tough that didn't help against a well-balanced Indiana side. Also, McGuff gives updates on guard Jacy Sheldon and forward Rebeka Mikulášiková, both of whom missed Monday's game. Following the coach is Walker and McMahon. After Walker discusses what the team needs to do to get back to their winning ways, M

Ohio State football news never sleeps, even during the off-season. There’s a lot of ground to cover since our last show, which capped a season that ended a bit earlier than we liked, and we’re here to talk about it. We start by recapping Ohio State’s NFL Draft declarations and decisions to return, including who the biggest surprises were on both sides of the issue. That led to discussion of which Buckeyes will be taking part in the NFL Combine this spring. The transfer portal was also a busy “place” after the last game of the season and we talked about some of the comings and goings via that route as well. The death of Dimitrious Stanley at age 48 was a blow to some of us ‘elder statesmen’ in the Buckeye fan base, so it was worth revisiting his legacy and put some respect on the name of a guy who may not have the huge numbers or the most famous name in OSU history, but he was integral to the success of a great 1996 Ohio State team. The Ohio State coaching staff hasn’t exactly been shaken up so far this off-se

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. Following Ohio State’s lopsided, comical loss to Michigan State Sunday afternoon, we spoke to Tom Izzo, Chris Holtmann, and Bruce Thornton about that game and the state of Ohio State’s program in general. Izzo spoke at length about Holtmann and the Ohio State program. He mentioned that “once you build the monster, you have to feed the monster” meaning that once you establish success at this level, you have to figure out how to sustain it. Izzo said Sunday’s game was a “rock fight” but that he had several players contribute in other ways than scoring. Thornton talked about the losses piling up and was also asked about social media. He said there are a lot of “hate comments” thrown his way, but that he’s had to stay mature and just learn to ignore people on the internet. Holtmann talked about how Izzo’s Spartans slowed the pace down quite a bit from

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. Following Thursday night’s loss to Northwestern, the media spoke with the head coach of the winning team — Chris Collins — and the losing team — Chris Holtmann. We also spoke with Justice Sueing and Bruce Thornton. Collins spent most of his time relating Ohio State’s current struggles to the struggles of some of his Northwestern teams over the years. He said that Ohio State has been in most of their games, but “It’s hard to get back up and compete when you’ve experienced so little joy.” Collins said the Buckeyes have several playmakers, but that his team’s resolve and positivity on the road helped get them the win. Sueing and Thornton didn’t have a ton to provide, other than dismissing the idea that something “was up” with Brice Sensabaugh after his worst game in college thus far. Sueing acknowledged that he’s played better, but that it doesn’t ma

On today’s episode of “Buck Off with Christopher Renne,” I’m joined by Jordan Williams to get into everything around the sports world this week and then some. We start the episode with a discussion about the Buckeyes at the NFL awards including Garrett Wilson, Nick Bosa, and more. This leads to a trip down memory lane discussing the differing skillsets of Chris Olave and Wilson, and discuss their memorable rookie seasons. Then we discuss the Bosa Brothers’ tale of two seasons. And this turns into a discussion about getting into someone’s head. After that our nostalgia kicks in and we discuss LeBron James and our favorite video game memories from childhood. We talk about the scoring record of LeBron and how it was such a big sports moment that needed even more appreciation. This leads to a conversation about the NCAA basketball video games and how we can’t wait for the next college football video game. Then our conversation turns to our Super Bowl preview and you have on hots on each side of the matchup. We de

During episode 65, Justin and Connor return to discuss an Ohio State team that’s now 3-9 in Big Ten play and all but eliminated from the NCAA Tournament with a month still to play. It took some time, but it seems that Chris Holtmann has finally hit the point where he just wants to play the guys who play the hardest, limiting the minutes of some in favor of guys like Gene Brown and Tanner Holden. While the Buckeyes aren’t mathematically eliminated from the tournament, they’ll have to go on quite the run to make it, plus win a few games in the B1G Tournament — or win the B1G Tournament outright. It’s been quite some time since Ohio State has won consecutive games, so the odds of that are s

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. Following Ohio State’s 77-69 loss to Michigan in Ann Arbor, the media was able to speak with Bruce Thornton, Justice Sueing, and Chris Holtmann about the loss, the losing streak, and what needs to improve to finish the season on a positive note. Thornton spoke more than Sueing and was asked about the career-high 22 he scored in the loss. Thornton said he felt like he and the team were able to play “more free” than before, but that did not lead to a victory. Sueing insisted that this is a talented team that just keeps coming up a bit short. Holtmann spoke about his team’s defense — or lack thereof — saying that his team was in a position several times to tie the game or make it a one-possession game and could not. He said there were several stretches of really good play, and the team brought good energy and motivation into this game. Despite that,

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. Following Ohio State’s 65-60 loss to Wisconsin, the media spoke to Greg Gard, Chris Holtmann, Zed Key, and Isaac Likekele about Ohio State’s eighth loss in their last nine games. Gard, the winner of the game, was able to discuss Wisconsin shaking off a bad stretch and winning a game on the road. Gard praised his players for “not letting the outside noise get to them” and refusing to let a slump (Wisconsin had lost six of seven heading into Thursday’s game) continue. He praised Brice Sensabaugh’s ability to create shots at any time, but said it was much easier to guard him on Thursday since he was in foul trouble the entire time. Key and Likekele did not have answers for why Ohio State did not come out with enough “bite” or “energy” in the 22nd game of the season. Key stoutly rejected any notion that the team dislikes or resents Sensabaugh for his

On today’s episode of “Buck Off with Christopher Renne,” I’m joined by Jordan Williams to get into the offseason storylines and the media availability of the Ohio State coaches. We start the episode with a discussion about some of the national stories and get caught up around the country. NBC announced a new media team for their Big Ten football broadcasts. Then we break down the spring practice unavailability report, and break down the importance of each player on the list. Once we get through the opening, we get into the meaning of James Laurinaitis returning to the Buckeyes as a GA on the coaching staff. Our conversation gets into the impact having a former player with the experience of Laurinaitis can only provide value in his current role. After the break, we get into who’s calling plays for the Buckeyes in 2023 and why Ryan Day allowing Brian Hartline to call plays in the Spring. This gives Day enough time to evaluate the staff in their roles, and will also give him the time to truly evaluate if Hartlin

Bucketheads’ is the only men’s basketball-focused podcast in the LGHL family of podcasts, co-hosts Connor Lemons and Justin Golba give the latest scoop on the Ohio State Buckeyes as well as all the other happenings in the college hoops world. ‘Bucketheads’ will be released every Thursday morning throughout the regular season. For episode 64 of the “Bucketheads” Podcast, Connor and Justin take a look at the Buckeyes' disastrous January, and ask a simple question: Is there any way this thing gets turned around? The Buckeyes currently sit at 11-10 and 3-7 in the conference, but with seven of their last 10 games at home and games coming up against Wisconsin and Michigan, can the Buckeyes finish strong enough to make the NCAA Tournament? And if they don’t, where do they go from here? Also, the guys take a look at the 2023 recruiting class, and answer some listener questions to wrap things up.

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. The Ohio State women's basketball team played three tough opponents last week and came out winless. The now No. 10 Buckeyes spoke to the media following the 73-65 defeat to the Purdue Boilermakers and what went wrong. Head coach Kevin McGuff discussed how the Scarlet & Gray weren't ready compared to their opponents, a tough day guarding three-point shots and a team that lost its identity. He also answers questions about the return of injured guard Jacy Sheldon and if maybe the Buckeyes are tired and hitting a wall. Following the coach are guards Taylor Mikesell and Tayor Thierry. Mikesell discusses shots not falling, the impact of Sheldon's absence resonating for weeks and not just Sunday and how the adversity is coming at the right time for Ohio State. Thierry also added comments about a tough Big Ten conference and fouling out of the game. Plus

Welcome to a new episode of Land-Grant Holy Land’s I-70 podcast. On this show, we talk about all things Big Ten football and basketball. After every week of action, we will get you caught up on all the conference’s games and look ahead at the matchups, storylines, and players that you should be paying attention to in the next week. My name is Jordan Williams, and I am joined by my co-host Dante Morgan. The NFL season is winding down as the conference championship games were yesterday! Dante and Jordan predicted the Eagles and Chiefs winning their games, setting up a highly anticipated super bowl. Brock Purdy may be the future 49ers quarterback of the future but Jordan doesn’t think he’s ready for this type of environment. Dante doesn’t believe Mahomes will lose to Joe Burrow again, especially with how Travis Kelce has played recently. Before breaking down tier two the guys also talk about former Carolina Panthers interim head coach Steve Wilks's potential lawsuit after being passed up for the job by former Co

On LGHL’s "Play Like a Girl" podcast, Megan Husslein and Jami Jurich welcome in friends from around the LGHL, Ohio State, and sporting worlds to talk everything from Ohio State sports to advocacy for women in sports and all the happenings in between. OSU women’s basketball had back-to-back losses this week (their first had taken place as of the recording of this podcast), but that doesn’t mean they’re not the real deal. In this week’s episode, Jami and Megan are all about the joy the OSU women’s basketball team bring to the court each game and why those who are sleeping on this team should wake up. Plus, college football season might be over (and yes, they do have to dissect the National Championship game), but football news isn’t. The duo breaks down what C.J. Stroud’s departure and Jim Harbaugh’s decision to stay at TTUN mean for the Buckeyes before turning their attention to the NFL playoffs with recaps, predictions, and more.
