  • S6E5 - James Franklin's failures; Luke Fickell takes his shot; A unique World Series; NIL in high school...no thanks
    Oct 26 2023
    10-24-23 We Tackle Life show notes:

    James Franklin is 1-9 against Ohio State...how does Penn State put up with that?

    Luke Fickell takes his shot at OSU on Saturday night.

    Ohio State hoops gets an exhibition win over Dayton. What are the Buckeyes' prospects this season?

    The Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers both lost 100 games two years ago and were way under .500 last year. Tell me again how we need to be patient as Reds and Guardians fans.

    Name, Image and Likeness payments to college athletes...should they be secret or public. And what would be the impact of NIL coming to the high school ranks?

    If you want to attend the Ohio prep football playoffs, it will cost you a lot more to pay in cash than to buy a digital ticket. Why is that?

    In the faith portion of the podcast, take care of the most important thing in life before it's too late to do so.

  • S6E4 - OSU vs. USC, Texas or OU...Buckeyes' All-American Sammy Sasso victimized again, this time by media corruption
    Oct 10 2023
    10-8-23 Show Notes:

    Ohio State rolls Maryland, but how would the Buckeyes do against Texas, Oklahoma or USC, after all three played epic games on Saturday.

    Hey, Browns...draft that Arizona kid

    Why you never draft a running back early or pay him twice

    USC has Caleb Williams, who may win the Heisman Trophy again, and looks like he deserves it. But was that a character win for the Trojans against Arizona that revealed the presence of character or the absence of the same

    Hey, YouTubeTV....if you're going to have 55 key plays, make one of them the one that decided the outcome.

    Williams' two most spectacular plays show that he can do what no one else in college can do. At least, not both.

    A Travis Etienne memory OSU fans won't like

    NBC's coverage of the Ryder Cup now looms even worse than it was in the moment. And that's really bad.

    Ohio State All-American wrestler Sammy Sasso nearly died when two teenagers car-jacked him in mid-August. Now Sammy is in a wheelchair and fighting to resume his career, which gave the Columbus Dispatch license to victimize him all over again in the name of tolerance and sensitivity.

    Accountability matters...or should.

    The faith portion of the podcast discusses prayer...what it is and what can happen when it's visited upon a seemingly-impossible situation.
