Summary

An Ohio State text subscriber asked Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means this question; How should Ohio State (and by extension its fans) handle national championship expectations? That question created a lot more questions, and that created a lot of debate on this Friday episode of Buckeye Talk. Looking at Ohio State's history and Ohio State's current place in college football, Doug, Nathan and Stephen got into what fans should expect and how they should look at this recent run of Ohio State history, which in the last 52 seasons includes two national titles in 2002 and 2014. With the help of some interesting survey answers from Ohio State text subscribers, the guys dug deep on whether a national title is the standard of Ohio State success. This one got a little off the rails, which is nothing new, so thanks as always for listening to Buckeye Talk. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
