Land-grant Holy Land: For Ohio State Buckeyes Fans

On today’s episode of “Buck Off with Christopher Renne,” I am joined, as always, by Jordan Williams for the fourth episode of Ohio State’s offseason and we discuss why ESPN thinks Ohio State will be national champions. We begin the show by talking about the NFL MVP (recorded before the awards) and we discuss a former Buckeye foe. We then discuss the value of the MVP award and why it has become a postseason award as well. After that, we discuss ESPN anointing Ohio State 2022 national championship with their Production Return Rate stats and the number one SP+ ranking. We talk about the last few leaders in these rankings and why Ohio State is poised for a huge year with all the weapons on the current roster. We then discuss the finalized Michigan coaching staff and why lightning doesn’t always strike twice. The Wolverines hired a new defensive coordinator and we discuss the reasons this might not be the best move which relates closely to Ohio State. After the break we discuss the promotions from within in their

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 week’s episode, the guys begin part one of what will be a two-part series in breaking down what Ohio State’s depth chart will look like for the 2022 season, kicking things off with the starters on the offensive side of the ball. While guys like C.J. Stroud, TreVeyon Henderson and Jaxon Smith-Njigba can all be written in sharpie atop the depth chart at their respective positions, there are still many spots up for grabs after the Buckeyes lost a number of key pieces to the NFL Draft this offseason. Before they get into all that, however, they hit on a pending 2023 commitment and the latest injury update from Chris Holtmann.

On LGHL’s Play Like a Girl podcast, Meredith Hein welcomes 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. Welcome back, folks, and thanks to Jami for crossing over from the Stick to Sports podcast for an episode this week.  And what a week it was! We’re just a few days into the Winter Olympics, but already have seen some exciting gold medal performances (looking at you, Zoi Sadowski-Synnott), renewed rivalries (hello Team USA hockey vs. Canada) and more Buckeyes on the ice than we realized! Plus, the pair, both with Chicago connections, talk their gold medal “dibs” performances and other things that feel like Olympic sports but aren’t.  Also this week, Jami and Meredith got into their Super Bowl priorities, and strongly advise against trying to have your romantic Valentine’s date on Sunday night this year.  Connect with Jami Jurich Twitter: @JamiJurich Contact Meredith Hein Twitter: @

Welcome to Land-Grant Holy Land’s I-70 Football show where we discuss the entire Big Ten from Rutgers to Ohio State. You can catch us every Monday breaking down the major games, storylines and previewing the next weeks slate! If you love the Big Ten, pack a bag, jump in the car and enjoy the ride!  Dante is back! in this episode we start by discussing all things, Jim Harbaugh. How did he not get an NFL job when he had personal connections to four of the jobs? What does it mean for Michigan that he was flirting with the NFL; do they believe he won't keep looking each off season? Plus is Harbaugh lucky this happened in Michigan? What would OSU fan's do in the same position if it was Ryan Day trying to get an NFL job and begrudgingly coming back? In our post season tiers we discuss Rutgers, Maryland, Minnesota and Purdue. Rutgers and Maryland slightly exceeded expectations by making a bowl game. Their coaches have taken steps towards relevance, can they improve in the 2022 campaign? Minnesota and Purdue had grea

Throughout the season, Land-Grant Holy Land will be bringing you uncut audio primarily from Ohio State press conference, but also from individual interview sessions. In this episode you will hear from both head coaches — Chris Holtmann and Danny Manning — as well as select Ohio State players following Ohio State’s 82-67 victory over Maryland Sunday afternoon in the Schottenstein Center. Manning spoke first, repeating several times that Ohio State has several guys who can really make you pay, and that allowing a team to shoot 60% in the first half isn’t going to win you many games. Then, Justin Ahrens — and later Zed Key — step in to discuss Ohio State’s tenth home victory of the season in 10 tries. Ahrens took questions alone first, as Key was held up speaking to his adoring fans as he tried to exit the arena floor. Ahrens talked about the stress of going through the tough stretch he went through, and the vitriol some fans had been showing him lately. Key also sang Ahrens praises and expressed how happy he wa

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, whether that’s pop culture, social media trends— you name it. On this episode of Land-Grant Holy Land's "Stick to Sports" podcast, LGHL's resident Winter Olympics guru Jami Jurich gives Matt a breakdown of all of the Buckeyes competing in Beijing over the next few weeks. Surprisingly, all but one of them is a current or former women's hockey player. Jami also attempts to convince everyone to watch more of her favorite Olympic sport -- and perhaps favorite sport in general -- curling. The two also discuss John Daly's pants, screw up basic European geography, and recommend two true crime/true crime-adjacen

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 this episode of LGHL's recruiting-centric podcast, Matt and Shane "@BuckeyesCrootin" Bailey look back at Wednesday's surprise-free National Signing Day and assess that Ryan Day and his staff (new and old) were able to put together in a defense-heavy class. They also use the opportunity to turn the page and begin assessing the needs for the 2023 cycle and look at what players fans should keep an eye for potential BOOMs and longterm recruiting battles.

On today’s episode of “Buck Off with Christopher Renne,” I am joined, as always, by Jordan Williams for the fourth episode of Ohio State’s offseason and we discuss the return of JIm Harbaugh to Michigan who never left, but sure acted like he did. We begin the show by talking about the impact of Jim Harbaugh leaving Michigan for the NFL, and the fall out of him having to return after not receiving an offer. The discussion heads into how a staff recovers from the instability and if Harbaugh is serious about his words that every offseason won’t be this way. After that conversation we discuss the introductory press conferences and we get into our favorite moments. We talk Justin Frye’s approach, Perry Eliano’s confidence, and why we think Tim Walton will be a star for the Buckeyes. We close out with Jim Knowles and how he is an architect in football coaches clothing. After the break, we get into the player introductions and our infatuation with Devin Brown. We also discuss Tanner McAlister and how the young guys

The only 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. At first it looked like a good old-fashioned ass-beating, but the No. 16 Ohio State Buckeyes (13-5, 6-3) orchestrated a furious comeback this past weekend in Mackey Arena, falling just short of the Boilermakers, 81-78. The guys talk about why it’s okay to feel good about some aspects of that game, while also not giving the Buckeyes a pass for the things that clearly cost them a huge road victory. Connor and Justin also examined what the expectations should be for Ohio State men’s basketball on a year-to-year basis. Are the Buckeyes a blue-blood that should be competing for a natio

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 week’s episode, Gene once again lets Josh have the floor to talk about his Bengals making it to the Super Bowl with help from a handful of former Buckeyes. The guys then discuss Ohio State’s battle with Purdue at Mackey Arena on Sunday, in which we learned a lot about Chris Holtmann’s team moving forward. Finally, we hear from all of Ohio State’s brand new assistants for the first time in addition to some roster updates from Ryan Day, including one former starter who will no longer be with the team. Hangout in the Holy Land’s will now return to one episode a week during the offseason, dropping every Wednesday (don’t hold us to that). Be sure to download and listen in wherever you get your podcasts, and leave us a review on Apple to let us know your thoughts and how we can make

On LGHL’s Play Like a Girl podcast, Meredith Hein and Megan Husslein talk everything from Ohio State football to all the happenings in the sports world today. Welcome back, folks! If we were expecting a letdown after the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs, we were sorely mistaken. This week, Megan and Meredith talk the latest slate of games ahead of a surprising Super Bowl matchup. It didn’t hurt that three former Buckeyes had major plays on defense to secure the win for the Bengals.  Plus, where would we be without more entertaining moments from our favorite once-upon-a-time Ohio State quarterback, Joe Burrow? The NFL wasn’t the only thing in action this weekend. Meredith and Megan also discussed the Winter Olympics, opening this week, plus more on the Australian Open.

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. In the second ever solo episode Jordan gets into what the Big Ten could look like without divisions. In what will be a major off season for the Big Ten that includes a new media deal and expanded playoff negotiations there is now a potential removal of divisions. Since 2014 the Big Ten has been split into two - seven team divisions based on geography. With an expanded playoff on the horizon and lopsided divisions the conference is doing the smart thing by getting rid of them. In this episode Jordan gets into why the Big Ten would remove divisions and how they could do it in a way that makes sense. He also walks throug

Land-Grant Holy Land’s Stick to Sports is unlike any podcast you’ve heard on the Ohio State beat.

On this episode of "Stick to Sports," with the football offseason now fully in effect, Matt and Jami look back at their favorite Ohio State athletic memories. From historically nicknamed plays to national championship victories to legendary roadtrips to looking like an idiot at basketball games and more, the pair discuss the highlights of their Buckeye fandoms. Then, with Matt heading to Columbus in a week, they talk about all of the changes that have happened on campus in the years since their respective tenures as OSU students. Then, as alwa

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 this episode, Matt Tamanini is joined by LGHL recruiting columnist Caleb Houser to preview Wednesday, Feb. 2's official National Signing Day. As has been the case in recent seasons, there is not much left to be done for the Ohio State Buckeyes on Signing Day as they mostly have their classes signed, sealed, and on campus following the Early Signing Period in December. However, there are two important Buckeye commits who still need to sign on... the dotted line (see what we did there) on Wednesday. So Matt and Caleb discuss the latest on Carson Hinzman and Omari Abor as they try to figure out if they will officially join OSU's 2022 class or not. Then the pair discusses the feverish recruiting pace that Ohio State's newly reconfigured coaching staff has been keeping up on the road, wh

On today’s episode of “Buck Off with Christopher Renne,” I am joined, as always, by Jordan Williams for the third episode of Ohio State’s offseason and we are feeling the offseason blues hard. We begin the show by talking about our least favorite offseason topics and why we hate how people grade coaching staff hires in January. We also discuss the importance of assistant coaches and why there are more important things than names. Then we keep on complaining because we have problems with the Hall of Fames of major sports league and some issues about the college football Hall of fames. Major League baseball is the vehicle, but we still talk about Ohio State in this segment. After the break, we get into the B1G’s plan to move away from dvisions. We talk about how it might work and why it’s beneficial for everybody involved. We move forward and discuss the NIL dominance by Ohio State and ponder why anyone ever had problem with this. We talk about some of the deals that were exciting to see and what cars we’d want

Welcome back, folks! For as many blowouts as we saw in the Super Wild Card Round of the NFL Playoffs, we saw as many thrillers in the Divisional Round this past weekend. The four games we were treated to Saturday and Sunday did not disappoint, and Tia and Meredith talked everything from quarterback drama to field goal drama to overtime drama — because what’s a playoff weekend without a healthy dose of dramatics? The NFL wasn’t the only thing in action this weekend. Meredith and Tia also got into two of the spectacular women’s college basketball performances ever (both of which came this past week) and the 50th anniversary of a historic brawl they’d never heard of before.  Contact Tia Johnston Twitter: @TiaJohnston_ Contact Meredith Hein Twitter: @MeredithHein Learn more about your
