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. Holy sh..., it’s Penn State week! On this episode of ‘Hangout in the Holy Land,’ Josh and Chuck preview Ohio State’s upcoming game against the impressive and thus far undefeated Nittany Lions.  While the Buckeyes have dominated this ‘rivalry’ in recent years, Penn State is inarguably one of CFB’s top teams in 2023. Led by a stout defense, a potent ground game, and Ohio native Drew Allar at QB, James Franklin’s squad should come rolling into Columbus with plenty of confidence. On the other side - the good side - OSU should be equally as confident. The similarly undefeated Scarlet and Gray have enjoyed a run of great success against PSU, winning 16 of the last 20 matchups. However, the Buckeyes could be missing key pieces on both offense and defense, putting them at a potential disadvan

Ohio State avoided a “Purdue Harbor” situation by running the football, throwing the ball to Marvin Harrison, Jr. and Cade Stover, and playing sound defense. The Buckeyes were hardly bothered on the road in a 41-7 victory at Ross-Ade Stadium, a house that held no horrors for Ohio State on this particular October visit. We started this week’s show with a breakdown of the Buckeyes’ lopsided away win, including some of the key drives, plays, players, and moments. We checked back on our picks to click and score predictions to see who had the more accurate crystal ball aimed at West Lafayette. Following our Purdue rewind, we welcomed Matt de Bear from the Roar Lions Roar podcast back to the show to tap into his Penn State expertise once again. Matt always has a good handle on where the Nittany Lions are stronger and weaker, and we thank him for giving us his honest answers about where his team stands at the season’s midway point. No midseason episode of this podcast would be complete without a look around at the r

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 recap Ohio State’s impressive but potentially costly win over the Purdue Boilermakers. The Buckeyes went into West Lafayette and took care of business, but watched the team’s second leading rusher and arguably their best defensive player leave the game due to injury. Saturday’s Scarlet and Gray action was available exclusively on ‘Peacock’, making it about as fun as a trip to the dentist for your hosts. The guys discuss how unenjoyable their viewing experience was, before pivoting to positives, including a surprise BOOM and of course, a decisive OSU victory. Down multiple running backs and a star wideout, Ohio State went into Ross-Ade Stadium and dominated anyway. The hosts continue to be impressed by Kyle McCord and the B

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. On today's episode, Matt Tamanini and Justin Golba are breaking down No.3 Ohio State's 40-7 victory over the Purdue Boilermakers. It certainly wasn't a perfect performance from the Buckeyes, but it felt like OSU did everything that it needed to do in order to get prepared for the challenge Penn State will present next weekend. Kyle McCord had arguably his most complete performance of the season and the defense continued to show a remarkable ability for keeping opposing offenses out of the end zone. Of course, there were a few negatives as both running back Chip Trayanum and cornerback Denzel Burke left the game due to injuries. As of recording time, Ohio State had not provided any updates as to the severity of their injuries, but Trayanum appeared to be in concussion pro

“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. We are officially less than a month away from the start of the college basketball season, and we have the media poll and preseason predictions for the season. 28 media members voted and ranked all 14 Big Ten teams and where they thought every team would finish this year. They predicted Purdue to win the conference and Ohio State to finish seventh. Naturally, we debated this. Is seven too high or too low? And can anyone take over the conference from Purdue? We also gave our rankings 1-14 and discussed those. Plus, Bryce James made an unofficial visit. What does this mean for the Buckeyes?

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 reluctantly preview Ohio State’s upcoming road trip to West Lafayette (IN) and Purdue’s Ross-Ade Stadium. Reluctantly, because it seems like just whispering “Ross-Ade” has a spooky, Beetlejuice-like effect.  The Boilermakers’ home venue has long been a house of horrors for the Buckeyes, with the latter dropping five games in West Lafayette since 2000. Including three of their last four! While Ross-Ade was also the site of ‘Holy Buckeye’, there is no doubt that Purdue’s stadium has been more worrisome than welcoming to the Scarlet and Gray. So will OSU continue to struggle at Ross-Ade, and deal with the Ghost of Upsets Past? Or is the talent gap between Ryan Day’s and Ryan Walters’ teams just too big this season? Against the

Ohio State yet again annoyed its fans with some sluggish play in the first half of a game. This time it was against the Maryland Terrapins at home after a bye week. The Buckeyes were expected to build off a big road win at the last second against Notre Dame but struggled offensively in the early going and it wasn’t until Marvin Harrison Jr. started catching passes that the offense got on track. Credit Maryland for playing hard and playing well for long stretches, but a key mistake by the Terps late in the first half allowed the Buckeyes to get to the locker room tied and Ohio State took control in the second half on both sides of the ball. We look back at our score predictions and our picks to click and break down the game’s key plays, players, drives, and calls. After that, we took our usual lap around the Big Ten to check in on other scores from around the league. Things aren’t going well for Bret Bielema’s Fighting Illini, but the Big Ten West is shaping up nicely for first-year Wisconsin coach Luke Fickel

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 try to keep it positive following their Buckeyes’ 37-17 victory over previously undefeated Maryland. But despite a win and a cover, Ohio State showed real regression on offense, as well as on the sideline. So how concerned should fans be moving forward? While Jim Knowles’ defense continued to impress on Saturday, Ryan Day’s offense did anything but... for the better part of three quarters. Problems along the offensive line were only exacerbated by the absence of TreVeyon Henderson, but both Day and Kyle McCord have to be better if OSU has hopes of winning the Big Ten or a national championship. That likely starts with better first halves. But the sky is not falling yet, as Ohio State does own a spotless 5-0 record. However

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. On today's episode, Matt Tamanini and Justin Golba are breaking down No. 4 Ohio State's 37-17 victory over the Maryland Terrapins who gave the Buckeyes all that they could handle in the first half of the game. Though the Buckeyes ended up covering the spread, the game was certainly in doubt well into the third quarter, but the OSU defense continued its lights-out play and the offense shook off a worrisome first half and an ineffective running game throughout to show glimpses of the Ohio State offenses of years past. Kyle McCord had his best half as a Buckeye especially as he leaned on his high school teammate Marvin Harrison Jr. There are certainly plenty of questions to ask coming out of this game, but for Matt, those questions lay more at the feet of the coaches than t

Come for the hot takes, stay for the warm ones. On this episode of ‘Hangout in the Holy Land,’ Josh and Chuck circle back to their preseason list(s) of Big Ten ‘Contenders, Pretenders, and Bottom Feeders’. Which teams have surprised, in either a positive or negative manner? And as a whole, how should the conference be looked at and/or evaluated roughly one month into the 2023 season? After a brief look at the current state of B1G affairs, the hosts turn their attention specifically toward Ohio State. The Buckeyes are fresh off a bye week and preparing to take on an undefeated Maryland team. Which has the Hangout Boys genuinely curious: Are these surprising Terps for real? Or have they been feasting on inferior opponents? The hosts tend to believe the former... Or the latter. Or maybe they will just disagree and argue. Either way, y

Throughout the year, the Land-Grant Podcast Network will be bringing you uncut audio primarily from Ohio State press conferences, but also from individual interview sessions.

The two discussed how their respective sides of the ball used the off week to prepare for the No. 26 Maryland Terrapins. They also dove deeper into lessons learned at Notre Dame. The head coach confirmed that Marvin Harrison Jr. was completely ready to go following his ankle injury against the Irish, and got in a thinly veiled shot at Lou Holtz to boot.

Without an Ohio State game to recap, this week’s show opens with news and notes from the Buckeyes, including some more black stripes coming off helmets, non-conference scheduling in the coming years, and a decommitment on the offensive line. We dive into these mini topics with gusto and give our thoughts on them while trying not to think too much about cupcakes. Following the opening segment, we welcome Deputy Editor Andrew Chodes from Testudo Times to give us the latest on what’s been going on with the Maryland Terrapins in 2023. Andrew provided plenty of good information on the Terps and although he said he expects an Ohio State victory, you can tell Maryland fans are itching to see if their team is for real and they’ll be using the game on Saturday as a measuring stick. Big thanks to Andrew for his Maryland-specific expertise. After getting the skinny on this weekend’s opponent, we took a look at the other scores around the Big Ten from this past Saturday, and we pose the question: If Illinois can’t get th
