Good afternoon Ohio State fans and if you're coming out from the West Coast, I guess it's good morning.

Thanks for turning in for a special edition of the Buck Nuts Morning 5.

We aren't in the morning but we had a chance here. I'm Patrick Murphy by the way of Buck Nuts.

We have a chance to talk with Matt Prem of Duck Territory 247's Oregon site ahead of the game this weekend.

And should be a fun one Matt, I know we just got done recording on your guys podcast.

And I think we're all kind of looking forward to seeing what will be between the buck guys and the ducks. How you doing today?

Good. It's exciting time to get ready to go to football practice actually and after I wrap up here with you.

And that's the last media day of the week for us. I don't know how it is for you guys.

But they get on a playing Thursday to head to Columbus will be out in Columbus Friday and next thing you know football.

Yeah, I was going to actually ask you just about obviously the timing of this game.

A new game local time means 9 a.m. for Oregon. You said they're flying out Thursday.

Yeah, so they've kind of geared everything to the last six weeks for from a time perspective for this.

You know, they played a 11 a.m. game last week. That was by design to have them up ready to go before they come out this week.

They leave for Columbus. I believe Thursday afternoon though they always practice in the mornings about here.

Typically their practices right now school is not in session. So it's kind of there's two different time friends when school is not in session.

They they will practice around 9 a.m. and then when school is in session they practice right around eight.

So they they're an early morning operation and they've been practicing gearing everything through fall camp for an early game.

So outside of the travel and then the adjustment that physically comes with that.

You know, this team has been practicing for the last six weeks or so early mornings to get themselves ready for the time difference.

Yeah, it's interesting. I know in the past when Ohio State's traveled out west, you know, playing some of those later games.

But I feel like, you know, your body can be especially college kid can be more geared to that.
