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 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,” Josh and Chuck begin with a very important discussion on Halloween candy and fall(ish) weather in Ohio. But bear with them, the conversation is brief. The hosts then move on to more relevant topics, like initial College Football Playoff rankings, as well as Ohio State injuries and snap counts. Recording before Tuesday night’s first CFP reveal, the guys attempt to predict the top-4. How high can the Buckeyes possibly go? Will the committee go chalk? And how accurate were the hosts? Listen to find out. Finally, after touching on the health of Kyle McCord and others, the Hangout boys become Jersey boys as they preview OSU’s roadie at Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights are an impressive 6-2, but own a less-than-impressive strength of schedule. Rega

The Buckeyes went to Wisconsin after their big win over Penn State, and against the Badgers they played almost an exact replica of the game they’d played the week before at home vs. the Nittany Lions. It was a frustrating night watching the offense stall, and quarterback Kyle McCord struggled once again in the first half. However, the defense played lights out once again with the exception of one drive and part of another (before eventually putting the clamps on for a key goal-line stand), and once Wisconsin erased a 10-0 deficit and tied the game, it was all Ohio State. We break down the win over the Badgers, with the key plays, mistakes, and players involved, look back on our score predictions, and see how well we predicted the key players when we checked on our picks to click (we whiffed bigtime on the latter). After our game rewind, we take our usual look around the rest of the Big Ten to see how other teams fared. Suddenly Nebraska looks competent after three straight wins, while Maryland’s wheels have c

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 attempt to predict this week’s initial College Football Playoff rankings, before discussing a less-than-stellar outing from their Ohio State Buckeyes. At the top of the show, the Hangout boys banter about where teams should be ranked in the CFP, as well as which players should be in the Heisman conversation. The guys disagree on rankings, but only because Josh believes that the CFP selection committee will do whatever it wants in the last year of the four-team playoff. Conversely, the hosts have nearly identical Heisman thoughts. Chief among them is the fact that Marvin Harrison Jr. should be considered one of the current favorites. As for Ohio State's win over Wisconsin... Well, at least the Buckeyes have Marv, TreVeyon H

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 laugh nearly uncontrollably about the bumbling nature with which the University of Michigan football program handled its illegal spying program. Was it successful for two years? Who really knows? But the keystone cops' way they went about it makes its unraveling that much funnier. They also dive into how this has brought out the goofiest conspiracy theories from the Corn and Blue fans, reminiscent of one of Jami's favorite conspiracy theories. Finally, they talk about OSU facing Lu

On Land-Grant Holy Land In Conversation, we talk to people in and around Ohio State athletics, and the sporting world at large, to bring you a different insight and perspective to the teams, athletes, and university that you love. On today's episode, Matt Tamanini is in conversation with Jesse Temple from The Athletic. Jesse has been covering the Wisconsin Badgers since 2011 and is able to provide a unique and nuanced insight into the Big Ten West squad that Ohio State will face on Saturday. In their conversation, they get into how former Buckeye Luke Fickell’s first season in Madison has been going, what the Badgers’ new-look offense under coordinator Phil Longo looks like, how Wisconsin might try to shut down Marvin Harrison Jr., and much more.  Connect with Jesse Temple Twitter: @JesseTemple Read his work: https://theathletic.com/author/jesse-temple Connect with Matt Tamanini Twitter: @BWWMatt Theme music provided by www.bensound.com  Learn more about your ad choices.

“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 episode of “Bucketheads”, Connor and Justin welcome back for the third time Adam Jardy of the Columbus Dispatch. Adam is the men’s basketball beat reporter for the Dispatch and has the most insight into the program out of anyone. We discussed the exhibition game against Dayton, and both Adam and Connor were in attendance. What were some takeaways from the scrimmage, and also, what did we learn with the first actual gameplay from the Buckeyes? Also, what should we expect from Bruce Thornton, Roddy Gayle, and Jamison Battle? Before Adam joined us, we discussed the exhibition on our own and what we learned.

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,’ Josh and Chuck attempt to break down and intelligently discuss TTUN’s (alleged) sign stealing. Thing or not a thing? Were punishable lines crossed? And who was directly involved? In other words, who ordered the code red!? After ‘Conspiracy Hour’, the hosts look ahead to Ohio State’s upcoming road game against Wisconsin. Led by former OSU player and coach Luke Fickell, the Badgers looked like a team struggling with transition for the first month of the season. But thanks to a few gritty wins and Iowa’s surprising loss to Minnesota, Fickell and Co. are firmly back in the Big Ten West race, looking to upset the Buckeyes and set up a possible rematch in Indianapolis. Despite each team dealing with impactful injuries, both Ohio State and Wisco

The Buckeyes passed their second huge test of the 2023 college football season, outlasting the Penn State Nittany Lions 20-12 in a defensive rock fight of a game. The Buckeye defense played lights out, but it probably helped that James Franklin decided not to try to persistently run, because Drew Allar did not look much like a five-star recruit on Saturday. That could be due to the pressure of the OSU front, the hostile atmosphere, or some other factor, but despite a couple of decent early runs, Penn State curiously strayed from it a bit and became both predictable and ineffective. We broke down Saturday’s scarlet-out win and checked back on our score predictions and our picks to click to see how close our pregame imaginations came to the real thing. After that, we took our weekly stroll through the Big Ten scoreboard to see which B1G West team threw away its turn in the division’s driver’s seat on Saturday (it was Iowa). Wisconsin appears to have moved to the top of the pile out west after a complete collaps

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 Ohio State’s 78-70 win over Dayton on Sunday night during a charity exhibition match, Chris Holtmann, Jamison Battle, Bruce Thornton, and Devin Royal spoke to the media about the game, their thoughts about the team moving forward, and mental health. Holtmann spoke first and repeated over and over that the result of today’s game was the least important aspect of the event. He told his team that, “everything coming out of today would be positive, regardless of how this ends.” It took him a while to get through some questions on mental health, taking some time to hold his composure before speaking on something that’s important to him and the Ohio State program. Afterward, Battle, Royal, and Thornton spoke to the media about the results of the game, what can be improved on, and their thoughts on mental health, and what they do to keep

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 give props to not only OSU defensive coordinator Jim Knowles, but also Larry Johnson, Tim Walton, Perry Eliano and the players, as Ohio State rode their stingy defense to a second victory (this season) over a top-10 team — stifling a normally productive Penn State offense in the process. But first, the hosts discuss other goings-on around the CFB landscape, as several ranked teams played close games. Closer than they ever should have been. Both Washington and Oklahoma struggled coming off of big, emotional victories, while Iowa... Iowa’ed? As a result of the latter, the Big Ten West is unfortunately and comically wide open, and the Hangout boys are both disgusted and amused. The title race is heating up, and so is the Heis

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. What an absolutely historic defensive performance from the No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes as they dispatched the No. 7 Penn State Nittany Lions 20-12 in Ohio Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Silver Bullets played perhaps their best game in half a decade, completely shutting down an offense that had been putting up 44 points per game this season. Now, there is still a lot to be desired from the offense with drops, bad throws, red zone inefficiencies, running game issues, and poor play-calling still popping up their ugly heads, but thanks to a career-best 11 receptions, Marvin Harrison Jr. helped the OSU offense do enough to pull off their second top-10 victory of the season. Because of the wins over Notre Dame and PSU, our Matt Tamanini believes that there is no doubt that O

On this episode of the Land-Grant Podcast Network's sports-adjacent podcast "Stick to Sports," Matt Tamanini and Jami Jurich dive into the nerves that go into a major game like the one that the No. 3 Buckeyes will have tomorrow against the No. 7 Penn State Nittany Lions. They discuss their own superstitions, whether all fans nitpick their teams as much as Buckeye Nation does, and why PSU winning would be worse than losing to Michigan. They also have an in-depth conversation about the new musical adaptation of "The Great Gatsby" currently having its world premiere in New Jersey. Jami's Recommendation: "El

On Land-Grant Holy Land In Conversation, we talk to people in and around Ohio State athletics, and the sporting world at large, to bring you a different insight and perspective to the teams, athletes, and university that you love. On today's episode, Matt Tamanini is in conversation with Scott Dochterman from The Athletic. Scott covers the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Big Ten and is able to provide valuable insight into the Buckeyes' opponent on Saturday. With Penn State having skunked Iowa 31-0 earlier this season, Scott was able to get a good handle on what PSU does well, and where some of their weaknesses might be. Matt and Scott also discuss the unusual season that Iowa is having and how much the 25 points per game stipulation in offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz's contract is impacting the team and the fanbase.
