Summary
It is a jam-packed Friday version of the show as Jonah Booker drops by for his usual end-of-week visit. Most of the show is dedicated to Ohio State football and we end with a taste of Buckeye basketball. On the agenda:
* Ryan Day said this week that the Buckeyes' loss to Michigan continues to fuel his team during the offseason.
* Day also said he knew in his gut that he needed to make a change defensively after the Alabama game in the 2020 national championship contest. The Oregon game confirmed it. And now Day has his man in Jim Knowles.
* Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson are fast. Faster that most people expected when they ran the 40 at the NFL Combine yesterday.
* The up-and-down season continues for OSU's hoops team. And "big ups" to them for their 80-69 win over visiting Michigan State and the legendary Tom Izzo last night. Izzo took a shot at Ohio State's fans and the environment at the Schott after the game. He wasn't wrong, but was it his place to say it?
All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

| 0:00.0 | Good morning, bup nutters. Welcome to the bup nuts morning 5 here on Friday, March |
| 0:29.9 | 24, 2022. I am Dave Vittel. I am happy joined by Jonah Booker for his usual Friday visit. We're |
| 0:35.5 | doing it live here on a Friday, Jay Book. Let's get into an interesting interview Ryan Day did this |
| 0:41.6 | week with the Columbus Dispatch. You're the one that pointed this out to me. You came up with the |
| 0:46.2 | agenda for today's show. I love that. Let's work for me to do. But I mean, some very interesting |
| 0:51.7 | comments from Coach Day. Let's start with, I mean, it's obvious, but it's interesting to hear him |
| 0:56.6 | talk about how the Michigan loss is motivating this team greatly this offseason. Expound on that if |
| 1:02.8 | you would. Yeah, I thought that was interesting from him. Obviously, the Michigan loss, it was a |
| 1:09.1 | integral part in the program not making the actual playoffs. So the fact that these guys are using |
| 1:15.6 | that as motivation is going to bode well for them because typically this program, they operate in |
| 1:22.6 | the space that anything any nugget that Michigan can give them for motivation. They usually take it |
| 1:28.8 | and run with it. We all knew that the Michigan loss would motivate these guys. There was a lot of |
| 1:34.5 | people wondering how the comments coming from Michigan calling a house stays soft. How that was |
| 1:41.0 | going to actually play out. But the fact that Ryan Day was able to come out and say, yeah, this is |
| 1:47.2 | motivating us. We're using this as a tool to really push our guys in the offseason. I thought |
| 1:53.2 | that was interesting for him. Yeah, and you know, he also said something else that I find even more |
| 1:59.8 | interesting than that. I mean, obviously, you lose to Michigan, especially the way they lost, |
| 2:04.3 | having lost to them in 10 years. And of course, that's going to motivate Ohio State in the offseason. |
| 2:10.0 | In fact, I don't think Ohio State's players hated Michigan. I think they thought they did. |
| 2:15.6 | But after beating them, you know, for so many years, even before they got there, you know, |
| 2:19.4 | no one had lost to Michigan. Everybody had four or five gold pants, but I don't think they actually |
| 2:25.4 | hated Michigan. They do now. But I want to ask you about something else that was very interesting |
