Welcome to the Buck Nuts Happy Hour.

We are here. I am here live from Chicago, Illinois.

We are a day ahead of Ohio State taking on Northwestern and you know, it's it's going to be a game more like most of the games for Ohio State this weekend.

We imagine this is not going to be one of the one of the games like last week where Ohio State was in a dog fight.

We don't expect anyway. If anything of that sort happens, then the buckeyes haven't handled their business.

So we're going to talk some Northwestern here in a little bit, but first I wanted to hit on some other things, some national stuff college will play off rankings.

And if you've been with us before, you obviously know how this works by now.

Feel free to grab a drink and kick off the weekend. I just got to Chicago before this game. So I have water. So the first time this year, I am not enjoying beer with you guys, but that'll be all right.

To talk some of the national scene, we've we've brought in Bill Bender this week from the sporting news bill. Thanks for jumping on with us. How you doing?

I'm doing well, Patrick. Thanks for having me on.

Yeah, good to see you. I haven't seen you enough this year. They haven't been around as much. It's been a sad press box without you there.

Well, I'll be there for there's this game at the end of the year on November 26th that we're trying not to look forward to too much that I'm sure I'll make a I'm sure I'll be around for that one.

How's Evanston is it? Are you getting rained on? I heard what's the weather like? I keep reading about that.

Yeah, we got here. We're actually in Chicago. We're going to drive up tomorrow, but it is raining not hard, but it is definitely raining. We flew in and you come down out of the clouds and it's just immediately wet on the plane.

So, yeah, I mean, on the natural grass at Ryan field, I imagine it's going to be one of those where those old school games we get the uniforms dirty and everything. I think, you know, old school type of game that should be fun.

Let me ask you as we move on to kind of talking national scene here.
