The Tim May Show featuring Clay Hall

Many, no doubt, have dreamed of owning a golf course. Jim Cox and his wife lived adjacent to the now-Ridge Golf and Gardens when it became available several years ago, so they took the plunge. Then, a couple of years ago, when one of Ohio's highly respected courses, Darby Creek, hit the market, they waded right in and snared it, too. Two Marysville-area courses within 2 miles of each other as...

Under the auspices of the 2nd & 6 Foundation, the 1996 Ohio State Rose Bowl championship team was gathered by Ryan Miller to reminisce this week at Wedgewood Country Club. It's been 30 years - or as one of the players put it, "a blink of an eye" - since their dominant Big Ten title season, marred only by a 13-9 loss to Michigan. But they rallied to upset No.2 Arizona State in the...

Nicole Shearin of WBNS 10TV joins Tim to talk about a lot of stuff, including the move to Columbus just in time to help cover the Buckeyes' rise to the 2024 national championship. That road included going to the University of Georgia and her first major gig as a TV sports reporter in Waco, Texas, covering Baylor, high school sports, and, yes, even Joanna and Chip Gaines a little. Plus, we talk...

We gained a conversation with DeSales High School quarterback RJ Day and his father, Ryan - ahem, 8th-year Ohio State head coach. RJ has blossomed as a Power 4 prospect for the 2027 class headed into his senior season. We also talk with Brad Maendler, founder of QB Excelerate, who has helped RJ's development immensely, as well as that of other young QBs. Great conversations, especially when we...

Former Ohio State football player Obie Stillwell joins Clay and Tim to talk about a lot of things, including Obie's Breakfast Club, plus the Buckeyes, etc. Plus Clay brings video from the latest meeting of former OSU running back Raymont Harris and perhaps the best performance coordinator in the business Mickey Marotti, who speaks on the welcome challenge of prepping the 2026 Buckeyes. At the...

Bill Bender of The Sporting News joins Tim to talk about a myriad of subjects regarding college athletics. Like the Brendan Sorsby gambling scandal, the NCAA Tournament expanding to 76 teams, the proposed 5-year rule the NCAA is proposing for college athletes to play 5 seasons, what Bill thinks is now an archaic exercise known as conference football championship games, and more. It's scattersh...

Former Ohio State and NFL DE Jay Richardson joins the show again - let's call it the JayClayMay Report - to discuss his reactions to where the Buckeyes went in the NFL Draft. He has an especially astute take on not only what Arvell Reese will bring immediately to the table for the New Giants, but what he still has cooking in his kitchen. Plus Jay's takes on the other draftees, plus on curr...

The Washington Commanders took Sonny Styles with the No. 7 overall pick of the 2026 NFL draft. His older brother, Lorenzo Styles Jr., was taken in the fifth round by the New Orleans Saints. Dad Lorenzo, former Ohio State star linebacker and Super Bowl champion, along with mom Laverna, were in the wings in Pittsburgh. They have provided the impetus, guidance and support for the Styles phenomenon fo...

Carnell Tate became the surprise first NFL Draft pick from Ohio State when the Jets passed on Arvell Reese, but the Giants did not, and by NFL draft pick 11, which was the Cowboys trading up to wrangle safety Caleb Downs, four Buckeyes had gone, including Sonny Styles to the Commanders. Dillon Davis and Tim chop that up. Plus Ryan Day speaks on the great night for his Buckeyes, but then he talks a...

Ohio State expects to see four players taken in the top half of the first round of the 2026 NFL draft, possibly in the top 10. And after LB Arvell Reese, LB Sonny Styles, S Caleb Downs and WR Carnell Tate, DT Kayden McDonald has a chance to be a first-rounder, too. MMQB Albert Breer joins Tim to talk about all that and who might be next to go from OSU. Then there is a conversation with former OSU...

Ohio State has been pegged by some oddsmaking services as the favorite to win the 2026 national championship ... on, uh, Jan. 25, 2027. Is that legit? Former OSU All-America and national title-winning/Super Bowl-winning linebacker Matt Wilhelm offers his assessment after studying the Buckeyes through the spring, which for the first time included his son Mason being on that practice and playing fie...

Super Bowl-winning coach Jon Gruden wears his passion for the game like a Technicolor trench coat. Though he is quite funny at times, he's also serious as an IRS audit in the desire to see football coached and played at a high level. So we've got stuff from his appearance at the Ohio State football coaches clinic, while Clay and Tim also review the practice they were allowed to watch in Oh...

Interim CBJ coach Rick Bowness held nothing back in his post-game assessment of the Blue Jackets' efforts over the past month, which saw them fall short of making the NHL playoffs, plus leaving a sour taste with their loyal fans with the way they schlepped through the season finale loss to the Capitals. Clay and Tim react to that, and Tim asserts that a little of the Urban Meyer way of doing t...

Ohio State keeps adding more NFL experience to its coaching staff, and it’s becoming a major storyline for the Buckeyes heading into the season.

Caleb Downs is the best player in the draft, according to Tim. Dillon Davis joins, and sorta, kinda agrees. They talk about the Columbus Blue Jackets (Did we hear Taps on Thursday night), The Masters, and Ohio State spring practice. Dillon likes the way transfer safety Earl Little Jr. is stepping up. Enjoy!

Ohio State football is reloading in the secondary, and this episode of The Tim May Show featuring Clay Hall dives into two of the biggest names stepping up this spring: Earl Little Jr. and Devin Sanchez. With Caleb Downs and Davison Igbinosun off to the NFL, the Buckeyes had major holes to address in the defensive backfield.

On this episode of The Tim May Show featuring Clay Hall, Tim and Clay break down Ryan Day’s latest spring message for the 2026 Ohio State Buckeyes: “Make ’em miss or run ’em over.” It started as a running back credo, but it may define the entire identity of this Buckeye team as Ohio State gears up for another run at a national championship. The guys dive into what that mentality says about the tou...

The Final Four is upon us, so despite still talking a little Ohio State football, Bill Bender of The Sporting News, Clay, Tim and good buddy Jeff Snook go on and on about the Final Four. And as the lead-in led you to believe, Bill, Clay and Tim like Michigan to win it all, while Jeff can't stomach that thought. He's going with Arizona.

Clay and Tim wrangle an interview with former Ohio State star and now grizzled pro Paris Johnson Jr. on his life in the NFL with the Arizona Cardinals, his reflections on having a great mother, and what he sees of the potential of the 2026 OSU offensive line at the end of a visit he made recently back to the WHAC.

Then, outgoing...

Ohio State made the Big Dance after a desperate finish to the regular season, only to stumble under the pressure from TCU.

JJ Sullinger, former Ohio State player, joins Clay and Tim again to talk about the readiness of the Buckeyes as they make their first NCAA Tournament appearance in four years against TCU on Thursday in Greenville SC. Previously, JJ said the Buckeyes would go "two trips" at least into the Big Dance, and that was well before they were assured even a ticket. Now he's looking only at TCU...
