Buckeye Talk, with Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- On the latest episode of Buckeye Talk, Nathan Baird, Stephen Means and I ponder the question of whether it’s fair to view the coming season of Ohio State football as a national title or bust kind of year. We go over five reasons why that might be the case and then reveal the results of a text subscriber survey on that topic.

Then it's on to the proposed transfer rule change in college football, which could create a world where players in all sports (not just some, as is the current rule) get a one-time transfer in their career with immediate eligibility. We also have the results of a survey on that on whether fans support it -- but are there potential unintended consequences?

Then it’s on to subscriber questions and the things that annoy fans about Ohio State football and things that annoy them in life. From bandwagon perceptions to paranoia about media conspiracies to lots of complaints with bad driving, it’s time to get some things off your chest. Then at the end is a little basketball talk.

It's a long Buckeye Talk, but this week is really broken up like three separate podcasts, so you can take it all in or pick and choose the parts you like best. However you listen, thanks for making Buckeye Talk part of your week.
