Summary

It's Mark it Down Monday, and Nathan Baird, Doug Lesmerises and Stephen Means are picking the Ohio State football players they think will be first-team All-Americans this season and earn trees in Buckeye Grove. But first, they discuss check-in at the Ohio State team hotel on Sunday night and what some players wore. Then (8:59), a discussion begins about the latest Ohio State basketball recruiting commitment, which leads into a debate over whether the OSU football team or basketball team will finish with a higher-rated recruiting class for 2023. Both are currently No. 3. Then, Doug has an idea (24:20) to expand Buckeye Grove to include quarterbacks who weren't first-team All-Americans, but did finish in the top 5 of the Heisman Trophy voting. After that, the discussion about offensive skill players who could be All-Americans begins (35:40.) Then the debate moves on to the offensive line (57:54). And then the podcast wraps up (1:09:45) by looking at which defensive players, if any, have the best All-American chances. This Buckeye Talk gets into a lot, but it's smooth.

0:40.2

were you one of the like founders of move in day on the Ohio State beat? No, the late

0:47.2

tonight there was like a rumor out there that like you were involved in like why this became

0:51.8

the extravaganza that it is today.

0:55.8

So the late Jim Davidson who was just an absolutely fantastic sports photographer at the

1:02.1

ozone for many, many years and very sadly passed away recently was the guy to me who was

1:09.0

out there. He was always out there and back in the day at the ozone and I'm sure there

1:13.7

1:17.2

heavy and this because Jim was so excellent and he would go out and do it and it was like

1:43.2

moved in and oh wait, because Terrell Pryor brought a big screen TV and it was like well

1:49.4

this might be indicative. And again, not that I wouldn't bring a big screen TV if I had it,

1:54.0

but it was like most players did not bring their own big screen TV to have in their hotel room.

2:00.6

I was going to say were they moving into a hotel back then or was it just like a door?
