Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to buck Slide.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Our number two Matt McCoy, along with coach Bill Conley,
Jeff Logan, and Roy Hall is now here. As we
talked Buckeyes with you. It is a primetime game and boy,
the weather should be beautiful as Ohio State plays Ohio.
You it is a helmet strike game, guys, in terms of,
you know, trying to do things to jazz up the

(00:23):
stadium where one section is supposed to wear one.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Color and another section is supposed to wear another color.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
We'll see how it all pans out. The bell ringing thing,
it's going to be Clark Kellogg this week ringing the
victory bell before the game. So those are some of
the pregame things. Are any of those stuff taking hold?
Like how was coach Cooper ringing the bell before the
Grambling game?

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Bill, Yeah, that's Coach Coop. I mean it's different. You look,
you looking look at that video screen you know when
they do it and stuff like that, and it's not
exactly the greatest video system in the world doing that thing.
I think the same with Arch.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
They got to get the bell out in the crowd, yeah,
instead of in a well.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
Well, it's a bad idea. Yeah, I don't know, man,
Like I guess they're rolling out the names right now.
I mean, like it's probably availability too. So love Clark,
but when you think about how State football, the first
name you don't think of is Clark. Kellark.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yeah, he just went into the basketball Hall of Fame,
which maybe why they did it.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
Yeah, but if that just happened, did they say, Okay,
since he's going in, we can honor him by that.
Did they push somebody back or you know, like at
what point, like who like who qualifies to be able
to do it? So it's just interesting. I get, I
get trying to I mean, you have to change. Has
just changed, right, you got to try new things. I
will say this, You're not about to tell me what

(01:52):
to wear the game.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Man.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
You know, like if I'm sitting in a certain section,
you can't say I have to wear reds because I'm
sitting in the red part of the stripe. It will
look cool if everybody does it, Thank goodness.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
It is why, to be honest with you, they should
it should.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
Be lined up to make sure if you want to
line up the crowd, you know, you need to make
sure you give.

Speaker 5 (02:15):
T shirts away, you know, at Penn State when they're
doing the white out. Everybody in the building knows you're
supposed to wear white. And the only thing that the
only people aren't is the opponent you know, that's coming in.
By the way, this is just in the South Stands,
just so you know. So this whole stripe thing, it's
not the whole state. No, it's just for the south
end it South Stands, and so at least the students

(02:35):
might listen.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Yeah, I mean, there's a chance. But here's the thing, though,
you didn't mention t shirts. There's no way because that
goes against what we're trying to do. For that that
costs money to get everybody.

Speaker 6 (02:47):
All that money and fly in towels.

Speaker 5 (02:49):
Yeah, with instructions, with instructions on it on how to
waive a towel.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
We did, Yeah, it does.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
I actually saw the instructions.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
Did you ever see it?

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Okay, grab the corner of the towel and wave uh.
And then it said bring back to next game.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
So and tell everybody what we witnessed on Lane Avenue
last week.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Man, not a whole lot of towels coming back.

Speaker 6 (03:12):
How many did you see, Matt?

Speaker 1 (03:14):
I don't know if I saw any Bill. I remember
Bill said we.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Saw not Okay, I'll tell you what. I'm not sure
that I didn't see Jeff using his to clean off
his witch.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
Let's take it on my golf bag.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
I mean you sat up in the press box. Matt
and I had previous commitments. We couldn't attend the Grambling game,
and we apologize. But did you happen to notice whether
or not anybody was waving their flag?

Speaker 3 (03:40):
I did not see one.

Speaker 5 (03:41):
And if anybody, if our listeners are out there, textas it's, uh.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
What's your your Twitter at Mandelcoy Radio?

Speaker 5 (03:49):
Yeah, and let us know if there were actually flags
going on.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
I got an email and uh, this is from Chuck
and you can email me at McCoy at iHeartMedia dot com.
A few thoughts to ponder is the Big ten, the
Big three, and the Little fifteen. It seems to be
Ohio State, Penn State, and Oregon have separated themselves already.
Did you see Michigan's melt down against Oklahoma? Their superstar

(04:15):
freshman quarterback fought with teammates on the sideline and was
served a slice of humble pie and one from the
NFL A meccag Buka has taken Tampa Bay by storm
and is arguably their best receiver already. It made me think,
how good is Jeremiah Smith because Buca was the second
best receiver on Ohio State last year. And that's from Chuck.
I think it's too I agree that Ohio State, Penn State,

(04:40):
and Oregon. I mean, they're all in the top five.
Looked like they're the best teams. I wouldn't like write
off Illinois. I think they're good. Might be too early
to say it's the big three in the little fifteen.
I would say those are the three best right now.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Right off Michigan. I beat us last year, and Michigan Michigan,
no doubt about it. This is not about me, not
because I can't stand that team up north either. But
I thought Underwood on the sideline going back and forth
with his teammates, I didn't think that was a bad thing.
I thought as an eighteen year old, and I'm willing
to like go at my people and tell them what

(05:14):
to do like that's to me, that's leadership, like I'm
not about to allow you to just do. And then
afterwards they dapped up and they were cool like in
those moments like you normally don't.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
See young quarterbacks that are way controlled.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
Oh absolutely right, Like so I'll know that Julian has
control of the offense when him and Jeremiah Smith get
a situation on the sideline where he doesn't throw the
ball or whatever, and Julian stand up and say, I'm
not gonna take that from you just because you're who
you are. Like that, at that point, you recognize who's

(05:47):
in control of the team because if you look at
the offense, who's the offensive leader right now? Right now,
it's alwa, It's Jeremiah Smith because what he's the best receiver. Well,
Brandon In's got voted captain, so until Julian emerges as
the guy who can say what he needs to say
to his guys, like we don't really have a true
offensive leader right now. So when I look and I

(06:07):
saw it, of course, I was laughing at it, like yeah,
keep you know what I mean, Like, yeah, get into it,
like go for it because y'all gonna lose anyway, like
you're rooting for him to lose. But it struck me
as you know what, like, man, he's trying to take
the team over. You know what, I mean, he needs
to be able to do that for those guys to win.
So Michigan is definitely not out of that conversation.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
I would agree with that too, and he's going to develop.
As we talked about Julian sand developing as the ear
goes on, he will too. Sideline confrontations are they that unusual?
I mean, you know, nowadays with cameras you certainly see
probably have you ever have you ever like in a game,
like always gotten into it with somebody and you know,

(06:48):
and then as Jory said, dapping dapping up always here in.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
The huddle all the time too. It doesn't go to
the sidelines. It's usually in the huddle, you know, a
miss block or a missed assignment or you know. I
always loved that we were an eye formation, all right,
and back in the day and Pete Johnson it was
the full back, all right.

Speaker 6 (07:07):
Pete's ass was this wide, all right, and you.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
Have to get you have to describe because to the
people in the radio, they don't know how it's really wide?
Is it? Is it? Two computer monsters one?

Speaker 5 (07:19):
So in an eye formation, he's in he's in front
of me, all right, and I could barely see around him.
I couldn't see over him very well, but I'm in
that back of the eye. And Pete, God bless him,
leading scorer in Ohio state football history and a terrific
football player. Pete could never remember the count. All right, now,
break the huddle, you say back of the day. We're

(07:41):
either going on one or we're going on two. He
get down in that stamps all right, and then he'd
start mumbling, what's the count?

Speaker 4 (07:52):
Here? I am in the eye formation. We got a
real opponent over there, live opponent. I don't know if they.

Speaker 6 (07:59):
Heard to ask for what the count was on every
play and I just do.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
He's facing the other way. You can't like hill him
his stance and look at you. Yes, so you had
to say it, but.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
Not enough, and it happened on almost every play.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
But we had guys, you know, I don't need to
say the names, but sometimes you had guys come out like, hey,
what do I got on this? And this is where
you figured out whether or not you were a good teammate,
because if you're a bad teamate, wrong thing, if you
know they up absolutely time for me. But then but

(08:42):
then if you tell them the right route and they
throw them to football and they score a touchdown, You're like, man,
that was supposed to be mine. Man like you, and
you get no glory for telling them what to do.
They're not gonna get in the press conference like I
know what to do and Roy told me what to do.
It was just like so those things happen all the time. Yeah,
And I know one.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Thing for sure, quarterback want their offensive line to know
how to turn her protection. Yeah, so if that communication
has to take place, the quarterback will get it right.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
What uh in Meka Bouka does that surprised you that
he's not one dunched into the NFL and been, you know,
not one as good as he is.

Speaker 6 (09:17):
He's talented.

Speaker 4 (09:18):
So here's a question. I'd argue that one of the
reasons why Jeremiah, I mean Jeremiah's obviously awesome talent. I
argue that a Mecca might have been our best receiver
last year, mostly because Jeremiah wasn't expected to do those things.
But the things that a Mecca did so well, Like

(09:38):
you had to pick and choose, and they constantly took away,
and they didn't think that this guy would keep showing up,
and he kept showing up. Now, if you look at
six three, two fifteen freshman. Look at what he did
and this and this and this, but at the same time,
like a Mecca without those numbers and gaudy, Like if
you take Jeremiah off, that team of Mecca has fourteen
hundred yards receiving, Like it's not even close. But you're
talking to top seventeen or so pick with stats where

(10:02):
you're like, well, they weren't as great, but look at
this guy. But he's built. He's built different, looks like
a running back out there, and he's always been that way.
I mean, he's a big, thick guy and running great routes.
It's awesome to see how because Mike Mike Evans, their
leading receiver all time, is kind of on the back
end his career and Chris Godwin, who's their number two,

(10:24):
is still not playing right now. They got to rely
on somebody with some new blood who's coming in there
and taking jobs, and it's great to see him doing
so well so early.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
They also, if you listen to the Buccaneers and if
you followed it, they talk about how smart he is,
like he's advanced. He's like an NFL veteran who is
a rookie. I think back, and I don't know if
any of our listeners saw this, but in the National
title game, do you remember this clip where in the
third quarter of the game, they're on the sideline and
Ohio State captured it of having an offensive meeting and

(10:55):
Jeremiah I'm sorry a Mecca Abuka looks at the eye
and he says, to you know, whoever the other receivers
and the offensive coach, we need to run a go
route on number whatever number. He was, number twenty nine.
Look at how he's look at where his leverage is.
You know we can get him and that later in
the game. That was the third and Jeremiah play that

(11:18):
guy that route that he and the ability to see
things like we talked about that with Caleb Downs on
the defense that they talk about his football acumen and
Mecha Buka clearly added it at that stage of his career,
even though he's a rookie in the NFL.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
Yeah, he continues to just surprise. I mean, I loved it.
Two touchdowns in your first NFL game and one of
them was the game winning touchdown. Reception pretty strong and
you can't beat that.

Speaker 5 (11:40):
Yeah, that's when you call your agent on the way
out afterwards and say, did we do a good enough job?

Speaker 4 (11:44):
Yeah? Already for sure.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Jeremiah Smith got going last week.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
I mean, did he really?

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Do we really know that? That's what I was going
to say.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
He was the offensive player of the week for Ohio State,
But he really did? I mean that touchdown which was
I don't understand, which was like the second longest in
Ohio State history.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
What how?

Speaker 4 (12:06):
First of all, if you if you watched it like
the guy, it must have been covered too. But the
safety got there so late. It was almost like he
saw Jeremiah catch it and he just dove out of
bounds just to make himself look like he wanted to
get into play. But if there's one person that I
am not going to allow to beat me, I used
to say this last year, why would you just not

(12:26):
take him away? Just put three people over there? And
but if you're going to score seventy anyway, why allow
him to be part of the seventy? Yeah, just the
fact that I don't I don't.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
I just in a corner. Then't do any to collision
him or anything. You just get around.

Speaker 4 (12:44):
So I started thinking about this, Jeff, I'm like, all right,
if I'm at Grammy. All I know is that's Jeremiah Smith. Man,
that's Jeremiah Smith. Hey man, we got Jeremies. Like, you're
actually a fan.

Speaker 5 (12:55):
I'm gonna tell my grandkids you're a fan covered jeremih fan.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
Like it's different than like if you have Michigan or
a big tip Alabama, who you play, It's like, yeah,
I know who you are, but whatever, Like I am
who I am because I'm at Alabama or wherever you're at.
But if you're like a Grambling or Ou and you
got kids from Ohio that two years ago were in
school here, they got some Pickerington guys on their team
coming back home, man, Jeremi Smith we get to go
in the shoe like, it's like it's more like fandom

(13:21):
than it is, like we got a football game to
go in and beat these guys. So I think that's
probably what it was from Grambling And then they're probably
trying a jersey swap. Can I give one of your towels?
They probably taking the towels from the game, And I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
Man, I'm gonna stick up for one kid on the
Grambling football team, the long snapper number forty seven. He
made a tackle on a punt return. Now nobody block
him going down the field because you're not run faster
than anything. He makes a tackle. He runs from the

(13:55):
thirty five yard line into the end zone in front
of the small grand section, jumping up and down. There's
a penalty on the play. Take it back. Hey makes
another one. The next playing he's jumping all over the
field sideline. The long snapper he had the game of
his lifetime. Next time he missed the guy.

Speaker 6 (14:18):
You know.

Speaker 5 (14:18):
One of the areas of concern you talk about the
long snapper and Grambling for Ohio State is punt return.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Called it a red flag area.

Speaker 5 (14:26):
And so here we go again with special teams that
are not so special. They lost forty seven yards is
what Ryan Day said of balls on the ground in
punt return. And again, some of them are tough to
get to. I understand that, but dine out of ten.
You've got a field, you've got a fair catch him

(14:47):
in come some way, you know, shape or form. You
got to make that happen. As a as a punt returner,
I can tell you they're not always pretty.

Speaker 6 (14:54):
You got to catch the football. Let they get on
the ground.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
It's silly more of your comments coming up. We continue
to Buckeyes with you. Bill's no Thine Enemy on the
ou Bobcat back on bocks Line, Matt McCoy, Roy Hall,

(15:25):
Bill Conley, Jeff Logan. Bill's coming up with no Thine
Enemy on the ou Bobcats. It's a seven o'clock game
this week. Our best Buckeye coverage pregame show, Live from
the Ozone will start at four o'clock. I got this
email from Lisa. I don't know if you guys saw
this week, but some of the Ohio State players had
went to campus and had another testimonial event. And I

(15:47):
don't know Roy if you were involved with that, but
I got to a lead a comment from Lisa here.
I want to commend Ryan Day for the kind of
players he's brought to Ohio State. They represent Buckeye Nation
well on and off the field, as Evan nine evidenced.
Excuse me by their on campus devotional this week. I
remember the same event last year. I think it's wonderful
that these young men are willing to proclaim their devotion

(16:07):
to Christ and share it with other students. Go bucking
that go boxing. That's from Lisa. I bring that up
because I know Roy, you're involved with the program a
lot in that.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Where did that? It's two years in a row that
they've done this. Where did that come from?

Speaker 4 (16:20):
So the rumor, you know, they're confirmed nor deny, but
the rumor is Cam Bab.

Speaker 6 (16:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
Cameron Bab, who was.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
Obviously there are a few years back, came to the facility,
had a conversation with the leaders last year. I was like, man,
we should do an event. I feel God is telling
us to do and use our platform. Here's kind of
what I'm thinking. And he got with some of those
leaders last year, Gee Scott and a Mecca and different
guys like hey, man, you think we could pull this off?
Then one conversation leads to another conversation leads to another

(16:53):
conversation leads to how can we and then you know,
you get last year and you get this year. The
blue print is there now for guys to be able
to show people who they really are. And to be
a football player is a privilege. To share your faith,

(17:14):
I believe is a responsibility because people only know you
via stats. They don't know where you who starts your life,
so to speak. And if those guys wake up every
day starting in prayer, starting in faith, and that's who
they really are. Not only is it a responsibility to
share your faith, to lead people down the same path,
hopefully based on how you live your life, but it

(17:37):
also holds you accountable to where this is who I
say I believe or what I believe, This is who
I say I am. And because of that, this is
why my character shows in these particular ways. And here's
the deal. Whether I'm an All American or we win
a national championship or not, my faith is my faith.
And so you know, I talk to those guys all

(17:58):
the time and hey, man, look, God doesn't you nothing.
And I say it just like that, he don't if
he doesn't do anything else. But he's already done enough.
And so when you get a chance to walk in
that type of conviction and that type of power, like
every day that I'm here is a gift. Everything that
I have is a gift. Everything that I have is borrowed.
It's not mine anyway. You can go out and cut
it loose on the field and in life. So I'm

(18:20):
super proud that those guys lead it. If you notice
nobody else is up there, those guys lead it, and
they lay it out the agenda. They're like master event
planners now, and it's really really cool to see.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Yeah, and they had a great crowd. I think they
did it on the South Oval.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Look.

Speaker 4 (18:34):
Yeah, man, it's a situation, man, they get out there.
They always said the way that they baptize in people.
Could you imagine you just show up to see the
Buckeyes and you're like, I feel I feel God, I'm
going to get baptized right now. And you know, you
just encourage people to take off the Jordans or whatever
they got on. Man, you got some expensive stuff on.

(18:54):
Take your cell phones out your pocket, you know what
I mean. But go ahead and get in that water.
It's really really cool.

Speaker 7 (18:59):
Yeah, being baptized by like Scott who's home from the
Patriots or something or down baptized me and then like
what do you mean he tackled you, Like, no, he
actually baptized me.

Speaker 4 (19:13):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
It is great.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
And you know that, uh, that culture is something that
Ryan Day and Urban Meyer have built for a long time.
And you know, and again taking the I don't want
to say taking the faith part out of it, because
you can't show that. However, I believe that that culture
and the togetherness of that team and standing for one

(19:37):
another and as Bill, you know, playing for your brothers
and all that. All that and glory to God had
a lot to do with what happened last year. You
don't lose to Michigan when everything could fall apart and
recover and win four.

Speaker 6 (19:50):
Games in a row.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
If there isn't a culture within that program that allows
you to do that, it could have gone the other way.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
Very easily and understandably.

Speaker 4 (19:59):
Ja.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
I mean, you lose a game like that, it can
devastate you see it do it at times.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Doesn't mean there's anything wrong with those kids. It just
tears you apart.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
But the opposite happened for Ohio State, and I believe
that you know that event we saw is part of
that culture and why they were able to do what
they did last year.

Speaker 6 (20:17):
Well, it doesn't guarantee you and he wins.

Speaker 5 (20:22):
It doesn't you know, guarantee that you're going to win
a national championship if you use that platform, all right,
because I promise you that across the field last week,
there are men of faith on that grand football.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
Absolutely every day.

Speaker 5 (20:36):
I'm sure that got down on their knees just like
everybody else didn't say, you know, God saved my rear
end today, you know. But it's to Roy's point. You
can say it, but how are you going to perform it?
And I don't mean on the field your act. You're
living your action. Speak so loud, I can't hear a
single word you say. We've heard that so many times.

(21:00):
A few weeks ago, we run out of time. A
few weeks ago, there was an arrest made of a
former football player, all right, that was charged with.

Speaker 6 (21:13):
Abuse of his.

Speaker 5 (21:15):
Spouse, messtic violence, all right, And that doesn't get on
the news. And this is a former walk on long snapper.
This isn't Jeremiah Smith. But why does it get on
the news because of your connection? To your point, Roy,
it's a privilege, it's an honor.

Speaker 6 (21:35):
If you blow it, it's your fault.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Yeah, for sure, it is time for Bill Conley's no
Vine enemy. And by the way, thanks for the email
a Lisa. It was a great to talk about check please,
but we all know I feel like we know a
lot about Ohio. You I promise you Bill will tell
you something that you didn't already know. On All Ohio

(22:08):
Battle coming up on Saturday night, The Buckeyes and the
Bobcats in the stadium seven o'clock. Our best Buckeye coverage
pregame show will start at four. This is Bucks Line,
Jeff Logan, Roy Hall, I'm Matt McCoy with you. But
we turn it over now as we do every Thursday
night at this time, and we will, by the way,
next week, even though there it is a bye week,

(22:29):
we do have a show, and so Bill's gonna have
to be creative because there is no enemy.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Next week.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
We'll make any Bill will figure it out.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
But we do know thine enemy.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
It's the Ohio You Bobcats and Bill Conley take it away.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
Hey, it's an important game, guys. Do you realize that
Ohio State has not lost to another college in Ohio
in one hundred and four years?

Speaker 6 (22:58):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (22:58):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (22:59):
Was it Oberlin?

Speaker 3 (23:00):
It was Oberlin College beat up? And then in nineteen
twenty four, in nineteen twenty four we ty Wooster. Okay,
but we have never lost a team that now in
the MAC during that time.

Speaker 6 (23:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
Good, the last team that in the MAC. I don't
want to steal your Thunderbill, but I just saw this
this week, a current MAC team, the last MAC team
that beat Ohio State Akron in eighteen ninety four.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
That's right, So it's been leads me into this go ahead.
They've been playing football since eighteen ninety four university. They've
won over six hundred games. They even have won they
don't do this anymore, but a small college national championship
in nineteen sixty. They went ten and zero. And you

(23:48):
know who the coach was, goy but named Bill Hess.

Speaker 6 (23:50):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
Bill Hess had been on Woody's staff. And they've had
some outstanding coaches during the years. I'll tell you what
their colors are, Huntered green and white, not just green
and white, Hunter green and white. The mascot is the Bobcat. Now,
that was in nineteen twenty five. In nineteen sixty, they

(24:11):
actually picked the name for their bobcat named Rufus. And
that's the one that Brus, a Buckeye, demolished.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yes, Rufus attacked Brutus.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
And Brutus wanted to bite.

Speaker 6 (24:23):
Yes, all right.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
They'd had twenty eight different head coaches. The winningess was
a guy who probably never heard named Don Peden. P
d n asked who they've named the stadium.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
Stadium, that's correct.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
Twenty one years he was a head coach, and Bill
Hess was a second link. So it's also they had
another Ohio State coach that had been the head coach
here and he didn't get fired here just kind of
you know, left here, Uh, actually named the successor, but
the name of the Carol Widows, and Caroll Widows went
down to OU as the head coach. All right, Frank Soldis,

(24:56):
of course, we know about him. Sixteen seasons, two thousand five,
twenty twenty one. Now is a guy named Brian Smith.
But they've had some outstanding players. All right, here's the name. Uh,
you won't know, Roy, you're way too young. This Costello.
This Costello the linebacker that played for the Browns and
the Giants. That's back in the the fifties, ten years

(25:21):
pro player, all right, pretty good. Kleeve Bryant, Yeah, great
quarterback and later on became the head coachair Lee Bryant,
great player. Now here's one a name you guys will recognize.
Probably did not know he was a great player. He
was a great quarterback at Ohio University or one and

(25:43):
only Chuck.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Stobart really former former.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
Coach at former Chuck Stobar.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
Receivers coach and at Michigan.

Speaker 6 (25:53):
He coached up there.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
He recruited me there young at we called him Stoby. Yeah,
I remember late Stovey came in. He went out recruiting
a kid out of South Carolina. You fly a small
plane at a small airport, and so he went out
on Friday. He got back sirty, but the game had
already started by the time he got from the airport

(26:17):
to the field. We were head like forty five tonight.
That Stowey go ahead gets from rests a right. He's
a great guy, great guy. The rivals two big rivals
they have Miami of Ohio. They called the Battle the
Bricks because of all the big buildings and brick roads
they have on those two campuses. All right, and they
had one l play as much asy used to. But
Marshall was a big because they're really relatively close.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
Same colors too, by the way.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
Absolutely it's the battle for the bell, so you win
and get the bell, all right. Traditions. Here's a tradition.
If you were a freshman football player at OU, your
job was you had to wash the locker room.

Speaker 5 (26:58):
Nowadays are probably I probably could be, yeah, but it was,
you know, as a seat right for a seasons start,
you had to wash locker room.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
And the reason that said, because we'll give all you
freshmen a clean slate.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
I like that. Cool okay.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
Firing at the cannon after a score, frank kind of
common thing. Now interesting thing here. Also, they have another
outstanding band, the band. Marching band is a one hundred
and ten, the Marching one hundred and ten. The only
trouble is they're not very good at math in ou
because there are two hundred and twenty five members in
the Marching one hundred and ten. Yes, so I don't

(27:35):
know what that's all about.

Speaker 4 (27:36):
That's true awful.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
Okay, how about some alums. Let me give some alums.
Paul Newman, Now he I didn't know that well. He
jumped around several places. He wasn't just a one college guy. Okay.
He also at Kenyon College and they brag about him
being their grab. But he played or he was on campus.
How about this guy, Ed O'Neill, Yes, Ed O'Neil, okay,

(28:01):
Al Bundy, who's he known it better as played football
for two years, then transferred to y s U. Played there.
He actually had got I don't think he had drafted.
He got a free agency with the Pittsburgh Steelers. But
he played the same as me and Joe Green. He
turned around left, he said.

Speaker 4 (28:21):
Yeah, get on TV.

Speaker 6 (28:24):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
But Arsenio Hall, oh you Grady my cousin.

Speaker 4 (28:28):
Huh, there you go, prove me wrong.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
Okay, here's one.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
Nancy Cartwright, my cousins, Nancy cart right, Is that is
that Bart Simpson?

Speaker 3 (28:41):
Yes, the voice the voice of Bart Simpson is a woman.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Yes, yes, yeah, she does multiple voices.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
Oh she does, that's right, does more than that? All right, Now,
here's one thing about ou and I can't go through it.
So it is no is one of the most haunted
campuses in the world. As a matter of fact, at
some play they say it is the one because there
is like eight or nine different places on campuses. Suppose

(29:09):
you are haunted.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Okay, now why they do a big basch on Halloween.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
Absolutely as that before after the drinking. Now, they have
a place called it's now called the Ridges, but it
was called the Athens Lunatic Asylum, and they practice electro
shock therapy and they perform lobotomies, and then they give

(29:34):
to university and they have some classes and stuff like
every suposedly all kinds of people walking.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
Around haunted place.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
Crawford Hall. Okay, down there, a student named Laura fell
four stories to her death out of a window. And
it's really strange because they went up and they found
our clothes are nicely stacked up with stuff. Boom fell
out of wind. So at night, listen for Laura.

Speaker 4 (30:02):
Yeah, I mean, I'm not listening for nobody.

Speaker 5 (30:05):
I know Laura that graduated from Ohio University, but she's
still living.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
Okay, it's not her, but Washington Hall, Washington Hall, they
used to play basketball there. A whole basketball team from
another school got killed in a bus crash going home.
And you can hear of a night dribble in the basket.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
No you can't, you can't. That's just somebody, somebody in
their backyard playing basketball.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
It's that's fine, okay, now, you know, because this is
in state school and we don't have you know, also
talk about in cities to talk about, but we do
have some festivals they have in southern Ohio and Athens
right around that area. First of all, they got the
Moonshine Festival each year.

Speaker 5 (30:46):
It makes sense Southeastie, that's right, And they have a
moonshine still demonstration how to make the moons, how to
do it?

Speaker 3 (30:56):
And really they have a moonshine bourbon pie. Yes, I
don't know, I tell you. And they have a contest
who can make the best burban pie?

Speaker 4 (31:05):
How about that?

Speaker 3 (31:06):
Pretty good? And they have obviously and this is all
was worried. But they have a Miss Moonshine pageant, and
I don't know if they they're probably staggered down the.

Speaker 4 (31:18):
Runway a Miss Moonshine.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
Well, you probably have to know how to make moonshine,
and you probably have to be able to.

Speaker 6 (31:28):
Shoot the moon.

Speaker 4 (31:29):
Do you vote? Maybe?

Speaker 2 (31:30):
Do you vote on the winter before or after you've
drank moonshine, because that could probably you know what they
say about you know, the beer goggles, so to speak.

Speaker 3 (31:38):
It could change your vote, that's true. How about a
paw pop festival? Have you ever had a pawpap?

Speaker 4 (31:45):
I mean move? But to find out.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
It's a fruit?

Speaker 3 (31:49):
Right, yes, it's kind of a tropical type.

Speaker 4 (31:50):
I thought it was like a grandfather.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
About very good.

Speaker 3 (31:59):
Yeah, these guys are city slickers man me and you
noticed stuff. Okay, Now it's not supposedly the greatest tasted
tasting a fruit in the world. Okay, it's kind of
a cross between a pineapple and a banana and a mango.
Think of it this way. You ever seen a banana,
Yeah that gets too ripe, Yes, right round banana and

(32:24):
you go to cut it up to put in your
cereal and it's nothing but mush. Yeah, that is a
taste of papa.

Speaker 6 (32:30):
Another reason not to do, not to do it?

Speaker 4 (32:32):
Baby food.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
Oh, very good, very good baby food. There you go, okay.
But they also have a Papa eating contest, how meany
can you eat? Whould ever want to? And they have
a Pawpaul cookoff, how you can do? But the one
that is close to my heart, okay, is they have
a wash board Festival. People come to play the washboards,

(33:00):
you know, scrub boards. Yeah, and they play.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
They probably have their old time country music exactly, probably.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
Have spoons, you know, and sports.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
I thought, see, you don't think I'm being funny. I
thought people came out and like washed their clothes and
see who could do it better. That sounds less music,
which music is better, That's right.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
But they have groups like the Sodbusters and the Hallie
Hound Dogs. But my favorite guy, my favorite guy is
Washboard Hank.

Speaker 4 (33:34):
Yeah, he's not black.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
Now let me ask you, guys, have you ever been
to the dump? The city dump?

Speaker 4 (33:44):
No?

Speaker 3 (33:45):
What you know? You have never taken anything to the dump.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
Surely I have not.

Speaker 6 (33:51):
I have not.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
There's a service for that. They have this thing called
trash picked up.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
That wasn't always the case. I mean sometimes you have
to take stuff to dump. Well, my question is, can
you imagine somebody falling in love at the dump.

Speaker 4 (34:10):
This is romantic time, okay.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
He fell in love with the girl at the waist scale.
I mean they see how much the trash is you're
going to weigh, and that's how much you pay. He
fell in love with it. So this is a song
the finale by wash Board Hank Love Song of the Dump.

Speaker 4 (34:39):
This is.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
Let's kind of catching whale.

Speaker 8 (34:49):
Bump thump bump, pretty girl down out the dog paints
as skinny as pump works.

Speaker 4 (34:55):
It's a wayscale down the dump.

Speaker 6 (35:00):
Angle grim, I don't be up him?

Speaker 4 (35:03):
And what show me the right?

Speaker 3 (35:05):
Then?

Speaker 2 (35:06):
Well fum the heartbread father when I saw a pretty
girl down after though.

Speaker 4 (35:10):
Ain't you skinny as jessup works?

Speaker 3 (35:12):
Us the way sails.

Speaker 8 (35:13):
Down at the dome.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
There's that washboard.

Speaker 8 (35:19):
Absolutely, I go there every morning with my garbage can
and if you don't produce me, I'll be her garbage man.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
Well though my heart blood Fama.

Speaker 4 (35:34):
I saw a pretty girl that Afterno, ain't you skinny
as Jans?

Speaker 8 (35:38):
And pump works as a way sail down at the dome.

Speaker 1 (35:43):
How do you find this stuff?

Speaker 4 (35:48):
Chat?

Speaker 3 (35:48):
That's the one wasn't at the worst, worth as good?

Speaker 4 (35:51):
Never say it my garbage A girl girl. There's the
girl down at the dom that I'm sure like to
take you to dinner.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
Well, talk hard, Pump.

Speaker 4 (36:02):
Ain't too skinny and works in the way ski down
at the dump, Dan, she works.

Speaker 3 (36:08):
Out the ways get down with the.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Washboard. Will he hank washboard?

Speaker 3 (36:16):
I'll figure it out. He must have went to the
Moonshine festival before he went to the dump. That's why
I felt, clearly that's right.

Speaker 6 (36:24):
So tell me where you met your wife? Yeah, dump.

Speaker 4 (36:27):
I love the fact that you start off saying like
you know where they go away things. I thought he
was going to weigh her. I thought, yea, not too skinny,
not too plump?

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Bill Coley does it again? Know dying enemy about the
Ohio you bobcats. Last couple of minutes of bucks line.
Remember to join us Saturday Best Buck Eye coverage pregame
show starts at four o'clock. We will be lying from
the Ozona on Lane Avenue. The game is at seven o'clock.
It's on the Peacock Network as the Buckeyes take on
the Bobcats. Bill Conley, Roy Hall, and Jeff Logan with

(37:00):
me for another minute from Twitter. From Tony, we talked
about this early in the show, Jeff, but Bo Jackson
looked like the most explosive running back on the roster.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
Has he earned more carries and meaningful games?

Speaker 5 (37:12):
He certainly has gotten the trust and the recognition or notice,
I should say, of the rest of the football team
knowing that he belongs to. Seems like he's putting in
the hard work and I think that he deserves an opportunity.
One of the questions I had in the first game
for Ohio State was their ineffective ability to get to
the second level. And I didn't think it was so

(37:33):
much the offensive line failing. I thought it was our
running backs inability to really extend to play. And this
kid seems to have it down.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
This is from Tony. Is there you guys?

Speaker 2 (37:46):
We were talking about Matt Patricia being on the sideline.
Is there a limit to the number of coaches on
the sideline? Seems like there's a lot of personnel near
at or near Ryan Day.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
Now there's no limit strictly up to hey, So how does.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
They how do they determine who's up and who's down?
Who's usually the si? Is that hiss for each particular coach?

Speaker 4 (38:11):
Is really about who's the best towe waiver? Is there's
a competition before, there's a competition on Fridays who can
wave the towe the best? And those are the guys
that get to be one.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
I'll say Matt Patricia is the first defensive corny Ryan
Day has had that has been on the field. He
started with Jeff Affley upstairs. You know, the carry Holmes
thing didn't work upstairs, and obviously Jim Knowles was upstairs.

Speaker 4 (38:36):
So I think that's like an NFL thing too. Like
those guys like to be right, they like to be there.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
That's right, that's royal. Jeff Logan, Bill Conley, We're all
going to be with you four o'clock on this Saturday,
getting you ready for the Buckeyes and the Bobcats. Thanks
so much for all your emails and your tweets, and
the phone calls
