12/10/22 • 50 min

The Ohio State vs. Michigan game didn’t turn out how we would have wanted, but... times have changed. A loss in the game does not end a season. The Ohio State Buckeyes are in the playoff. While that’s a big deal, the Transfer Portal madness is taking the college football world by storm. There are over 1,000 college football players in the portal.

In this episode, we take on the transfer portal madness, the College Football Playoffs, NIL, and how the pressure is off for the Buckeyes — and it’s time for the Buckeyes to play like it!
