0:00.0	Hey, hey, where you been, but got talk is about to begin, hey, hey, hey, come on in, back to your Thursday
0:27.7	book. I talked about that. The incidentally tournament starts. We're not talking about that. We're
0:32.4	talking football. We're doing rapid fire. Got a bunch of questions from our loyal tech subscribers.
0:38.5	Need to do it. It is a week here. Again, this is Ohio State is on spring break this week,
0:43.6	so there is no Ohio State football spring practice. So we don't have interviews. We don't have
0:47.5	anything to watch. We'll get back to that next week, but it's a good time. I thought, hey, you know,
0:52.8	we had two days of practice watching. We had two days of interviews with Brian Day and Jim
0:57.1	Dole's and Brian Hartline and 12 players. 14 players actually we talked to in total. 15,
1:02.4	Tristan Gebia. Sorry, man, forgot about you. So we have enough information. I think that we have

1:29.6	and secondary, but we have enough to start and we're going to start. We have a couple head-to-head
1:36.0	questions that we're going to deal with and we're going to start with expectations for 2023.
1:42.7	And I like these because they are on opposite sides of the fence here. First one from the 804.
1:48.9	Perhaps I'm overly optimistic in the off season as I have been my whole life in
1:53.6	regards to the Browns and Guardians, but I'm super psyched about this year for our bucks. Here's
1:58.9	why. The defense should be significantly better led by the corner back room. Every other defensive
2:04.1	position could be much better as well on offense. I have to believe that either quarterback can step
2:08.1	up and get close to CJ's production considering the skill guys he has to work with like the best
2:12.8	receiver in the game. The run game also has to be better due to better health and depth. I know
