Summary

On this Monday Madness edition of Buckeye Talk, Doug Lesmerises and Nathan Baird dive into two ideas about Ohio State football and college football before getting to Whatcha Watchin’, Whatcha Eatin’, Whatcha Thinkin’ at the end of the pod. First (0:30), it’s possible that the 12-team college football playoff starting in 2024 will eventually mean the entire college football schedule moves up, with the regular season starting and ending a week earlier. That would mean, among other things, Ohio State-Michigan sliding to the week before Thanksgiving instead the week of Thanksgiving? What do Doug, Nathan and the Ohio State text subscribers think? Then (31:00) there's a brief conversation about calendars and whether people work more or sleep more in a week. Then (39:28) there was a betting controversy with college sports that started with a bet placed in Ohio. What should and shouldn’t be legal when it comes to betting on college sports? Finally (1:03:43) the guys run through ideas from baby birthday parties to a celebrity that annoys one of them. Thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hey, hey, where you been, but got talk is about to begin, hey, hey, hey, come on in.

0:25.4

Welcome back to your Monday, what kind of talk? Doug Limerese and Nathan Baird on a Monday madness,

0:30.2

which means at the end, we're going to get into some what you're thinking, what you're eating,

0:35.5

what you're watching kind of stuff. But we have two topics that we're going to talk about first.

0:38.9

The second one will relate to sports betting and what should and maybe should not be allowed

0:48.4

when it comes to certain college sports. This is a particularly an Ohio discussion

0:54.7

because gambling was legalized in Ohio in January first and there's an incident that has happened

1:02.2

in Ohio. But we understand not all of you listening or in Ohio, so it's a bit of a broader discussion

1:07.1

about college betting and we also understand that some of you don't care and some of you actively

1:12.4

dislike that discussion. So we're not going to start there. We're going to start Nathan

1:17.4

with something that I think all Ohio State fans care about. I sent it out to the

1:20.5

textures on a survey and I just looked at the answers and I will say I was moderately surprised

1:25.4

but moderately pleased and the discussion is this should the entire college football

1:32.2

schedule move up and the specific part of that would mean the regular season ends a week early

1:40.1

and Ohio State Michigan are no longer Thanksgiving week. The idea we can get into it, it's about

1:46.0

figuring out when the playoff games are played. Do you stay away from NFL playoff games? Can you

1:51.7

land things on New Year's Day better? But the real ramifications Nathan would be

2:01.2

that instead of Thanksgiving week being the last week of the regular season, Thanksgiving week

2:06.7

would now be conference championship game week. So you sit down, you have your Thanksgiving dinner

2:11.6

on Thursday and then Friday night, Saturday, those are the conference championship games. The big

2:16.1

10 championship game would be that Saturday and Ohio State Michigan would be the week before.

2:20.8

Let's go to those specifics first Nathan. It's an Ohio State podcast with an Ohio State audience.
