After looking rather pedestrian offensively in the first half last week against Akron, will the Buckeyes be a dominant force against the Broncos? Western Michigan gave Wisconsin a tough game in Madison last week, so they are no pushover. However, it will...

Who's in? Who's out? Like ... for real. Is it flip season already? We let the live viewers steer today's show with Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter. Many subjects were broached. No feeling hurt or animals injured during production. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!
