0:00.0	Hey, hey, where you been, look I talk it's about to begin, hey, hey, hey, come on in.
0:26.5	Thursday, Buck, I talk it's nuggets, Nathan, it's Stephen and it's rapid fire, but really we're just
0:31.6	twisting rants. So you guys listen to the Wednesday pod where we get rants and takes from our tech
0:36.4	subscribers. There are so many good ones. I did not do a separate Q&A rapid fire call out,
0:41.6	but we're going to take some of those rants and turn them into questions that Nathan and Stephen and I
0:46.3	will answer together. And we're going to start Nathan, which with going back to a podcast we did,
0:53.5	I don't even know when this was more than a year ago, I think when we when we declared the 2023
0:57.8	Ohio State football team, the greatest college football team of all time. And some people are
1:03.8	questioning that, which is reasonable from the 614. I'm worried that if Ohio State cannot win a
1:09.9	championship with this exact team, it's hard envisioning them ever winning one in the next two or three
1:14.8	years. This collection of talent with a proven quarterback seems hard to ever match moving forward.
1:21.8	You used to talk up 2023 as being some sort of super team, but with the lack of offensive line
1:27.1	depth, looming large next year, this feels like Ohio State's best shot. I don't know. Ohio State will
1:34.9	continue recruiting well. This just feels like a team where everything is coming together. Nathan
1:39.6	is this right now with the Highest Mentor. Hopefully favorite quarterback is this the super team,
1:46.8	not next year. Very possible. But I think we've framed it that way from the beginning because
1:53.3	anytime you're talking about, well, next year, this team could be amazing. You have to remember that
1:58.6	that team, that amazing team will more or less be intact, but also have some even better players
2:04.0	or some some important players that wouldn't be there in 2023 will be here at the end of this season.
2:09.2	And the development and progression that happens over the course of season. I mean, we just
2:12.9	look at Ohio State history. It's 2014. That's what you've said all along that you could pinpoint and
2:17.9	look ahead and say, boy, 2015 looks like they're going to be loaded, but they got 30 into 2014.
