Why Do Biased Fans, Media, and Gurus Think CJ Stroud is Terrible?
10/26/22 • 35 min
College football seems to be overanalyzed more than every other sport! So what’s left to do besides analyze the analyzers?! CJ Stroud is terrible. That’s what Buckeye haters, media folks, and even some so-called gurus will have you thinking. Is it true? Is it fair? In this episode of Buckeye Focused we discuss CJ Stroud, stepping into a throw, the evolution of the quarterback position, and dealing with the outside noise.
We also get into:
- The debacle that is Iowa Football–offensively speaking. The Iowa defense is strong.
- Should Iowa fire their offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz
- Jim Tressel and his statement on leaving the program
- Are there concerns with Ohio State’s running game
- Zach Harrison and his statement game vs Iowa
- Defending a pocket passer that suddenly runs the ball
- The upcoming Penn State game (OSU -15.5 and o/u 61.5)
- Ohio State hate — why so hurtful?!
As always, Buckeye Focused is hosted by former Ohio State Buckeye, Nate Oliver (IG). And Eric Kasimov (Twitter).
Nate played for the Buckeyes mostly under Coach Jim Tressel between 2007-2011.
Eric is the founder of KazSource, Inc, and the creator of this platform, SportsE+.

Tribalism in Sports x Player Mindset | Buckeye Focused 8
Fan psychology and player mindset play an enormous role in sports — especially when we add tribalism to the equation. Tribalism in sports is nothing new. It’s just that we see and deal with it more than ever because of social media. And when it comes to Buckeye sports (football) we see it weekly! We have to talk about it...
In this episode of Buckeye Focused we discuss fan psychology, tribalism in sports, and player mindset – we even get into those Buckeye losses (Virginia Tech, Oklahoma, Michigan State, Iowa, Purdue, Alabama). That 2014 National Championship season. And way more.

Accept Responsibility for the Position You Are In | by Jimmie Bell | Buckeye Focused 10
“One of the hardest things for most people is to look in the mirror and accept responsibility for the position they are in.” – Jimmie Bell
What Jimmie Bell shares in this episode is not only a hard truth but told in a way that compels you to actually look in the mirror. There are people we come across in life that have this immediate and profound impact on us. For Nate Oliver and now me, one of those people is Jimmie Bell. And we hope now you. By listening to this episode, you will understand what Jimmie Bell means by accepting responsibility for the position you are in. And I believe it will make a difference.
Jimmie Bell (JB) deserves to be heard — he needs to be heard. And we hope you will listen to what JB has to say. We promise you will be affected by this conversation no matter your background.
While this is “Buckeye Focused”, a buckeye here and a buckeye there spawned this conversation. But this conversation goes way beyond football and buckeyes. I’ve always said “sports bring people together” and this episode proves that.
