Hey, hey, where you've been?

Bucket talk is about to begin.

Hey, hey, hey, come on then.

Welcome back to Buckeye Talk. I'm Steven Means and that's Stefan Christnick, and this is a Monday leave, no doubt pod. It's been a while since we've done a leave, no doubt pod because it's been a while

since we've seen football games.

Ohio State had the spring game on Saturday to wrap up the 2026 spring schedule.

And now they'll head into summer workouts, hoping to get everybody healthy, helping to have

a full 105 man roster ready to go by the time they take the field

for fall camp, which will probably be first week of August, last week of July, sometime around then.

The next big thing in the college football world, I know there's like June camps and recruiting

stuff, but in terms of football stuff, the next big thing is Big Ten Media Days, which is in

Chicago and late July. So, Stefan, obviously yesterday I was just like on 10 in a lot of different ways. Like everybody's like, you know, Thorpe Awards. I was holding up signs of Tavian St. Clare. Listen, I was having fun with it. That's it. I think that's okay. Yeah, it's okay to have some fun with some things. But I do, maybe we can revisit some that stuff and maybe we can have more conversation about these things because we both did rewatch the game, at least the first half of it before it became, we're going to do whatever Ryan Day says we're going to do. That's part of the entire game for Ryan Day. It's the first day. Yeah, the referee being like, listen, we're not here to actually do our jobs today.

It's Ryan Day. It's Ryan Day calling the game. When we got the like rundown of how the game was going to go, it was like 15 minute first quarter, 12 minute, second quarter. And then the second half would be like 10 minute quarters and the clock management is via Ryan Day. Yeah. So like, Ryan Day's like, no, I'm not the offensive coach.

I'm not the defensive coach.

I'm not even the head coach.

I'm the the offensive coach.

I'm not the defensive coach.

I'm not even the head coach. I'm the guy who's going to tell you when we're getting out of here. That's all we're going to do. There was one point, either late in the third or late in the fourth, where the clock was running and the referee was like, please stop the clock. and it's like, well, you're the one who told them it's a running clock.

Yeah, this is on you, Day.

Okay.

I guess we can start with uh st clair and have a more reasonable conversation we got stats we did not have stats at the time that we were recording on saturday uh we do have stats now taven sanclair nine of 166 yards, and a touchdown plus two carries for 14 yards.

They didn't include the sacks.
