Welcome to our first Cleveland.com Ohio State football podcast of the 2016, 2017 season,

Doug Le Maurice, along with Ari Wasserman and Bill Landis, we are your coverage team.

From Cleveland.com, we called this The Bad Podcast last year. We might be

renaming that. We're kind of stepping it up a little bit on the like being

real journalists front at least when we talk so we'll see how that goes.

That was a very professional opening.

Well I did a Twitter question.

I'm trying to gauge from people what they want to see from our coverage.

And I asked people about the podcast and I'm flying high

because one of the possible answers was yes I listened to it and it's awful and that

only got 2% and I can't believe it I thought

awful would get like 20% the possibility too is that only 2% of people are

listening to which is bad well no because the other one was yes I like it or yes it's awful or no I've never heard of it and I think yes I like it and no I've never heard of it the two possible two best possible.

Yeah, no I never heard of it is like way ahead which is why we're maybe trying to change things a little bit so we

hope to make this a little easier to find on iTunes we hope you guys can subscribe to it

this year you can do it now on our Cleveland.com sports podcast channel it's

on a specific Ohio State channel but you can find us there but we want to make this

more accessible and we want to talk Ohio State football. So we are going to do that.

The Buckeyes report for camp on Saturday. Their first practice is Sunday and this is a completely different team and Bill Ari and I were just talking about this.

I think it's possible that this is going to have a completely different vibe.

We know they're replacing six completely different

We know they're replacing 16 starters. I think it might feel almost like a completely different I don't want to say program because Ohio State has the things that it does.
