| 0:00.0 | Hey, hey, where you've been, |
| 0:17.1 | Buckeye talk is about to begin. |
| 0:20.5 | Hey, hey, hey, come on in. |
| 0:24.6 | Welcome back to Buckeye Talk. I'm Stephen Means. That's Stefan Crickick, and that is Andrew Gillis. |
| 0:36.6 | We talked with Tyler Bowen and a bunch of large men on Tuesday afternoon. We talked with the offensive line. We found this out on Monday that Austin Saraveld is going to be potentially – he's probably going to be Ohio State starting left out the way things are going today. I'll ask this. This is what we're going to do today. We're going to spend 10 minutes essentially just telling you what we learned, and then we're going to spend 45 minutes letting Andrew and Stefan fight about whether or not it's a good idea for Ohio State to rotate their offensive line against Texas on August 30th. I also asked our Texas, 614350, 335. So I'll sprinkle some of those thoughts in it as well. There's people on both sides of that argument. I don't know how I feel about it yet. So I'm going to allow these two guys to make their best argument. And whoever I think made a better argument, that's who you decide I'm going to join because I roll with the winners. That's just what I do. I'm a winner. So I'm going to roll with the winners at all times. But first, Stefan, the most important thing you learned from Tyler Bowen or an offensive line on Tuesday. I learned that Carson Hensman studying German so he could talk trash to hero canoe and get away with it with the referees, not giving him a flag. College football is back. You've said that about a couple of things over the last 44, |
| 1:45.1 | 48 hours between that and what's going on? Like, like seven hours because we started talking |
| 1:50.1 | about Taylor Swift and Travis Kielstein. It's like, all right, football is back. That's how |
| 1:54.1 | you know football is back. Taylor Swift is back in the football news cycle and Carson Hinsman |
| 1:59.2 | is learning German and talk trash to hero canoe. Those are the two pillars of the return of football to the calendar. |
| 2:04.9 | I think that Taylor Swift conversation while we were waiting to go into the indoor was the |
| 2:09.1 | longest conversation I've ever been a part of when it comes to Taylor Swift. |
| 2:12.3 | So I do appreciate the two of you for that. |
| 2:15.2 | Andrew, what's the most important thing you learned, most interesting |
| 2:17.9 | thing you learned from Tyler Bowen or offensive linemen today? It's a good question because |
| 2:22.6 | there was a bunch of stuff. I think learning more about Ethan and Yanwa and kind of what he's |
| 2:28.7 | been doing is certainly at the top of my maybe interest list because for reasons that we're going to get into |
| 2:35.2 | here soon. I think we talked about Ethan and Yanwa, like, since he arrived, like, last winter. |
| 2:41.8 | Like, I think it was before the Tennessee game. We were, we got like 15 minutes to watch practice. |
| 2:46.7 | And we were like, wow, that guy's a big dude. And he came in at 365 and now he weighs 3.30. |
| 2:52.7 | Having, hearing about his weight loss and everything was interesting and kind of how he's |
| 2:57.9 | changed. |
| 2:58.9 | But like, he's moving around and he has not moved around. |
