Land-grant Holy Land: For Ohio State Buckeyes Fans

It was supposed to be the toughest test to date for the Ohio State Buckeyes, and maybe it was, but Ryan Day’s team took care of business quickly and efficiently during Saturday night’s “blackout” game to the tune of a 52-21 drubbing of the Wisconsin Badgers. We didn’t expect quite such an easy win, and it remains to be seen how good this year’s Wisconsin team actually is, but it was nice not to have to sweat out a night game against a marquee opponent. We broke down how the evening in the Horseshoe unfolded, checked in on our score predictions to see how close (or far) we were, and went through the stats sheet to see if our picks to click on offense and defense clicked or not. We then welcomed Greg Patuto, the managing editor over at SBNation’s OnTheBanks, to the show to get us ready for Greg Schiano’s Rutgers Scarlet Knights on Saturday. Greg (Patuto, not Schiano) did a great job of getting us up to speed on what’s new with the Knights, what Rutgers has been doing well, and where the team still has some grow

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 today’s episode, Matt and Jami get into just how freaking fun it is to watch the 2022 edition of the Ohio State football team. Despite all of the winning that the program has done over the past two decades, many of the games have been difficult to get through for a variety of reasons. Not this year though, as the team is dynamic, exciting, and loaded with potential on both sides of the ball. They also talk about Saturday's "Wear Black Game," alternate jerseys, the potential end of games on ESPN and ABC, and the new season of "The Great British Baking Show," Holly Rowe’s farewell from Ohio Stadium: htt

Welcome to a new episode of Land-Grant Holy Land’s I-70 podcast. On this show, we talk 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. Welcome to the newest episode of the I-70 football show. Week four has come and gone and taught us a lot about the Big Ten while setting up some major games in the future, some as early as week five. Ohio State ran Wisconsin off the field going up 28-0 before Wisconsin got off the bus. It wasn’t until the fourth quarter that Wisconsin's offense showed up and by then it was far too late as the game was already out of hand. Minnesota had a similar experience against Michigan State dominating them in every facet of the game in a victory that proves they’re a true contender.  Illinois continued its winning ways while Nor

Land-Grant Holy Land’s flagship podcast ‘Hangout in the Holy Land’ is back! Join LGHL’s co-managing editor Gene Ross alongside his co-host Josh Dooley as they cover everything from football to basketball to recruiting and more! On this episode, Gene and Josh recap Ohio State’s Week 4 victory over Wisconsin. The Buckeyes entered the contest with a bunch of injuries, including once again missing top receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba as well as three scholarship cornerbacks, but it was no problem as they dismantled the Badgers in Columbus, 52-21. C.J. Stroud continued to excel in his Heisman campaign, Cade Stover proved once again to be a reliable offensive weapon, and Jim Knowles’ defense held Paul Chryst’s squad in check. Ohio State is 4-0 to begin the season, and there is a lot to like about Ryan Day’s group on both sides of the ball.

The Ohio State Buckeyes who took the field against the Toledo Rockets is the one we’ve been expecting. Offensively and defensively, the Buckeyes showed up and, for the most part, dominated. There were a couple of defensive hiccups but nothing consistent as Ohio State continues to adjust to a new coordinator on that side of the ball. We break down the key plays and players from the Buckeyes’ 77-21 thumping of a Toledo team that is expected to challenge for the Mid-American Conference title. We compare our score predictions to actual events and see whether are picks to click actually...err, clicked. To prepare us for this Saturday’s Big Ten opener against the Badgers, we welcomed Rohan Chakravarthi from SBNation’s Wisconsin blog, Bucky’s 5th Quarter. Rohan got us up to speed on what’s different about this year’s Badgers, how that vaunted Wisconsin defense is going to deal with Ohio State’s offense, the maturation of quarterback Graham Mertz, and where the team is strongest and weakest. Big thanks to Rohan for j

On “The Dotted Line”, Land-Grant Holy Land’s Matt Tamanini talks to recruiting experts, LGHL’s recruiting analysts, and prospects themselves to get a unique perspective on the players that will be a part of Ohio State’s future. On today's episode of Land-Grant Holy Land's recruiting-centric podcast, we are taking a brief break from football as Chris Holtmann and his Ohio State men's basketball team are expecting to land another major commitment on Tuesday, Sept. 20 at 8 p.m. ET in the No. 31-ranked player in the country, four-star combo guard Taison Chatman. The Minneapolis native is down to five schools, OSU, Kansas, Xavier, Minnesota, and Virginia, but all of 247Sports' crystal balls place him as the fourth member of Holtmann's 2023 class. On the episode, Matt Tamanini and Justin Golba discuss how his presumed commitment came to be, what role George Washinton III's decommitment last week had on Chatman, and what this does (or doesn't) mean for the recruitment of Bronny James.

Stroud, and offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson discuss the team's 77-21 blowout victory over the Toledo Rockets.

This conversation includes a deep discussion on how good the offense was today, and an in depth look at how Cade Stover is the best tight end in school history. Chris and Justin also talked about the front seven and even though they are playing well, there are still some missed opportunities and plays being left out there.
