Big Me Kickoff

Ohio State Buckeyes Basketball 2021 is in the Big Dance as the No. 2 seed in the South and will get things started later this week against Oral Roberts. But before we get too deep into tourney talk, let’s wrap up the recently completed Big Ten Tournament that saw the Buckeyes come oh-so-close to cutting down the nets, despite a slow start and finish in the championship game. In this episode of the...

In this episode of the BIA, we are joined by Ohio State class of 2022 tight end commit Bennett Christian as we talk about all things recruiting and a whole lot more. The Buckeyes picked up two very talented tight ends in this recruiting class and while there is a ways to go until National Signing Day for the class of 2022, there does not appear to be any second thoughts when it comes to Christian...

Ohio State Buckeyes Recruiting got some huge news over the weekend with the commitment of '22 Rivals250 wide receiver Kyion Grayes out of Arizona. It was a huge pick up for the Buckeyes as the team now has pledges from two top wide receivers with Grayes and Caleb Burton. In this edition of the BIA Podcast, Kevin Noon and Joseph Hastings talk about what the Grayes commit means for the team as well...

We had a special guest drop in for this edition of the BIA Podcast with the nation’s No. 10 overall prospect, linebacker CJ Hicks stopping in to talk about recruiting and a whole lot more. For the Kettering (Ohio) product, Ohio State is something that has been part of his life from day one, but this five-star is making sure that other athletes are well aware of just how special that Ohio State is...

Ohio State Buckeyes Basketball is down to its final four games of the regular season and still has a Big Ten title in its sights after a big win at Penn State. Now Chris Holtmann’s team has three big home games left with Michigan, Iowa and Illinois as well as a road trip to the Breslin Center to take on Michigan State. Does this team have what it takes to navigate that minefield and finish this se...

The NFL crowned the Tampa Bay Buccaneers champions just a few short days ago and the NFL calendar is already shifting to some incarnation of the scouting combine as well as pro days and the culminating with the NFL Draft at the end of April. As with any other NFL Draft, there will be plenty of Ohio State interest with players like Justin Fields, Wyatt Davis, Shaun Wade and others all looking forwa...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – National Signing Day 2021 is in the books and the Buckeyes are sitting with the nation’s No. 2 class, but things are not done with one more player sitting out there and Ryan Day’s Buckeyes are in a good spot with a talented lineman out of the Pacific Northwest. In this edition of the BIA Podcast (BuckeyeGrove Instant Access) we talk about the class of 2021, even if Wednesday was a...

Plenty to discuss today as we are at that odd intersection of getting ready for "winter conditioning" with the football team, the traditional February signing day and the basketball season is in full-swing. Kevin Noon is talking about all of that in a solo show where we talk about the two major targets left on the Ohio State board, the upcoming QB battle that will be in place with the departure of...

Plenty going on as we talk about Greg Mattison's decision to retire and what's next there with the Ohio State coaching staff. Plus NFL decisions are in, how did the Buckeyes fare? Plus, should we expand the CFP field? We talk about that and much more.

Ohio State Buckeyes Basketball is now sitting at 11-3 on the 2020-21 season and ranked in the top-25 but there is a very long way to go for this team with at least 11 more regular season conference games to go in a super-competitive Big Ten Conference. Chris Holtmann’s team is coming off of an impressive road win at Illinois, down a pair of point guards and on the back of a hot shooting afternoon...

The Big Ten has made it to the finish line, barely. We are here on the eve of the Big Ten Championship Game and the Buckeyes and Wildcats are set to compete for a league crown as champions of their respective divisions. The path for each of these teams have been very different however as the Buckeyes have run through their schedule putting up a bunch of points, maybe allowing a few too many as wel...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – We are all still reeling from the news that “The Game” has been called off for this year and the Buckeyes are still looking for a dance partner for this weekend. There is a lot of significance when it comes to getting to six games for Ohio State, or any team in the Big Ten for that matter. According to rules that are currently in place, there is no opportunity to be in the Big Ten...

It has been a week of highs and lows for the Ohio State program and we are going to try and talk about a few of them in this edition of the BuckeyeGrove Instant Access (BIA) podcast. A couple of wins and a big commit on the basketball side of things and a second game canceled for the Ohio State football team and a lot of uncertainty moving forward as we are unsure what the future may hold in terms...

Ohio State Buckeyes Football 2020 is off to a 4-0 start so far this season but the most recent against Indiana had a weird feeling to it as the Buckeyes got up big, saw the Hoosiers not go away and really needed to take it to the final possession. Andy Anders joins Kevin Noon on this Monday edition of the podcast to talk about what we know and what we don't know.

The Buckeyes entered the 2020 season as heavy favorites to win the Big Ten season and has changes and alterations to the schedule took place as the conference had an on-again, off-again approach to things, the biggest fear for Ohio State fans was that COVID would be the biggest opponent in the grand scheme of things. As we learned on Wednesday, COVID has taken a bite out of the Ohio State season b...

The Big Ten has lost its third game of this shortened season and unfortunately, it will end up costing the Buckeyes a game as Maryland is dealing with an outbreak and will not be able to move forward with the previously scheduled game. We talk about this breaking news and did the B1G put its teams in a bad spot by waiting so long to get things started this season? All of that and more in this emer...

We are still a little bit more than 24 hours from the start of the Ohio State versus Rutgers game and while this series has been anything but competitive, you can't look past any opponent. Just ask Michigan about that and Rutgers in 2014 (a 26-24 shocker by the Scarlet Knights). No, this game has the Buckeyes as better than a five-touchdown favorite as former coach Greg Schiano brings a mixture of...

Kevin Noon and Jacob Benge talk about the big 38-25 win over Penn State this past weekend including a dominating game by Ohio State's defensive line and yet another huge game in the air with Justin Fields finding Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson, early and often. Is there concern though about how the team could not put Penn State away? We talk about that and a whole lot more. Plus, Kevin talks about...

An announcement from Johnny.

We are talking Penn State with Nate Bauer of BlueWhiteIllustrated.com as we find out what happened to the Nittany Lions last week against Indiana, talk about what kind of team we might expect to see here in week two and what Penn State has to do to win this game.

We are wrapping up our final thoughts on the Nebraska game from week one, what did the Buckeyes do well and what needs some work.

Justin Whitlatch joins us, our terrific analyst over at BuckeyeGrove.com. Check out what he has to say about both games and where he feels...

On today's first show he talks about what impressed him about Justin Fields in game 1, some elements of Buckeyes play that need to improve, and why Buckeyes shouldn't read into everything they saw i...

The good, the bad, and the ugly. It wasn't perfect, and you may have been upset at times, but there's reason to be encouraged by what you saw. Putting some things in context. #GoBucks
