Buckeye Bombast with Belhaven & the Boy

WARNING - We mention the word Mathematics in this episode.   I know.  I know.  When you were browsing the catalog and selected Buckeye Bombast, no one told you there would be any math.  We try to dummy it down.  We only say the word 3 times, I believe.  So, if you can get beyond that (and the random stroll through the way back machine with mention of Steve Bellisari)...

I know we are only about .500 for the year for our picks.  However, you know there are people getting paid money for worse.  

After a sound pummeling of the Scarlet Knights, we turn our attention to a far more menacing creature....the Terrapin.  This link will tell you all you need to know about the Maryland Mascot (https://umterps.com/sports/2018/6/7/school-mascot.aspx).  However, I still wonder how that conversation went.  "I think 'Old Liners' is just not quite menacing enough.  I am thinking we ne...

who'da thought that Rutgers would be a good gauge on defensive improvements.  We also talk hog and dogs, meatchicken and the sausage fest, and we throw in some Irish lucky charms

In addition to giving our picks for Week 3 games, the boy and I also display our gift for the obvious.  Our analysis for Tulsa?  Stop sucking on defense and gut them like a pig with the offense.

the Bombast is thrown about like candy at a parade.  What more can be expected when Ohio State chooses to not play defense.  um yeah....that was a defense full of 4 and 5 star recruits.

Its a preview of the upcoming game with the Oregon Ducks.  Additionally, you get to hear us say really dumb things (we call it bombast).  However, there are some gold nuggets in here if you really know where to look.

The boy and I face off again this year with our weekly picks.  If you're a gambler.....may want to seek advice elsewhere.  But, at least listen to the show anyway because it is, like, good and stuff.

The boy and I regale you with our extremely insightful preview of the Ohio State / Gophere matchup.  It will be as palatable as the last thing your dog decided to lick up off of the floor.

"Jeb!  Bring me that daggum fryfogle!  I'm fixin' to fix the plow!"

There's a feeling I get, when I look to the west.....wow.....two different songs referenced there!  anywho, here is the Big 10 West Preview.

12 apostles, 12 months in a year, 12 donuts in a non-baker's dozen.....12 team playoff?  We're talking playoffs?

We have come to know that there are many who are pining for the awkward sensation that is Buckeye Bombast.  Whether it's the strange pauses, the heavy breathing, or just the dulcet sound of our voices, the clamor for another episode has been louder than the cicadas just outside my door. 

We return with our much sought-after midwest mellow smoothness. Recruiting, Coaching....Late Winter Buckeye fun!

Yeah yeah yeah....whatever.  So, we said Ohio State should win.   We shan't lose sleep.

The time is drawing near.  We know you're all over the place looking for every last morsel for this game.  You need not look any further.  We have built for you a beautifully bombastic breakdown.  Just a few more hours......

Before tuning into this amazing episode, please do the needful......and prepare yourself  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUZNXgIXM1c Truly moist and satisfying!

Time has moved quickly from the conference championship games and we are on the precipice of the playoff.  You could go and listen to all the national pundits over-analyze these playoff games.  However, we know that your grandest desire is to hear what we have to say on Bombast.  for *ichigan fans, this will be the closest you will get to the playoffs.

Why Ohio State shouldn't be in the Playoffs - by Jimbo Fisher, Dabo Swinney, and Brian Kelly Jimbo: "Ohio State shouldn't be in the playoffs because they only played six games "and Texas A&M played nine games." Brian:  Wow, that's great. Jimbo: "I think that everybody should play at least nine games. "That is a good number of games for the playoffs. "I don't think that a team that only pl...

Welcome to Jimbo Fisher and Dabo Swinney's college football, where losing to good teams is preferred over victories...where playing more games against mediocre/bad competition is more admirable.....more noble....than staying undefeated and winning against ranked teams.

...phrase uttered by the College Football Playoff committee after the question was asked "Could anything be more pathetic than ESPN's College Football Power Index"?  We bombast on the CFP in this abbreviated episode.  Technical difficulties prevented us from bringing you our breakdown of the upcoming Ohio State/Northwestern game.  Suffice to say, the boy and I believe the Buckeyes w...

uttered by the smooth, disarming, and dulcet voice of Ed Orgeron.  However, his voice is so weak and fragile, that it could not be heard over the whining cries of Dabo and Mullen as the lay prostrate on the floor, pounding their fists and screaming "but, but, but, we played more games than that undefeated team from the Big 10!"

"Listen, I know that Ohio State gets all the fancy ladies, the clothes, the free creams and lotions, but Indiana's life is good: reeeaally good. They get to wake up every morning, 5 am, make some soup! It's the beeeest! They lav it.  They get to lay in a bed by themselves, all of their life. It's fantastic. Look. Go awaay! Read some books."

When Barry Alvarez was asked about how the discussions were going with the Big Ten regarding Ohio State potentially not having enough games to qualify for the Big Ten championship game, his response pretty much sums up the moronic and lethargic lack of leadership in the conference...."We haven't those discussions yet."  Really???  Everyone else has been talking about it for a few weeks a...

While the ACC attempts to rig their championship to improve it's chances at 2 playoff teams, the Chanticleers and BYU are showing what real courage should look like in the time of Covid.
