Welcome to the J boys show hosted by Jake Crane, the fastest growing sports show in the nation.

I'm coach you freeze. This is both happy and branding ground. Hey, this is DJ Shockley. You watching.

And you're watching. Thanks for watching the J boys show. All right,

everybody. Welcome to the interview section of today's show. And look,

you know, we cover the SEC. We kind of expand a little bit. But to be able to know the SEC,

you got to know the big dogs that are outside of the conference. Then SEC teams,

most likely is going to be playing in the college football playoff, whether it's 1234 or really three.

The way it's been going lately and excited to be joined by booknuts.com,

the 247 Sports Affiliate for Ohio State. He's been covering the book us for 30 years.

So if anybody knows Ohio State, it's this guy right here, Steve Helwagon.

Really appreciate you coming on Steve. Nice to talk to somebody a little bit.

I guess up to the Northeast part of where we typically talk to.

Yeah, no problem. Great to be here. And the season will be here before we know it.

I think the countdown for Ohio State is like 73 days until they play at Minnesota,

kind of a unique opener on September the second, the Thursday night.

And Fox Network Television has never done a midweek college football regular season game.

And that's going to be the first one on Thursday.

September the second Fox Network Television.

Definitely. Well, the book I was going to be looking to shoot some holes in the boat that PJ Flex built over there.

And what they've got going. But Steve, I want to start just, you know, for our audience, because again, you know,

a lot of our audience is SEC based, but Ohio State's a huge factor when it comes down to the end.

And it's nice to know what's going on. Ohio State, we know how talented they are.
