The Bill and Doug Show: Ohio State Football Talk

It's Indiana vs. Miami for the College Football Playoff National Championship on Monday night, and Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis are here to make two very different picks for the game. First, they mock the ESPN preseason playoff predictor for how ridiculous it was about the SEC and how ignorant it was about Indiana. Then after breaking down the game, Bill and Doug do Whatcha Watching, Eating and Thinking on Marty Supreme, His & Hers, dinosaur cookies, pizza sticks, disappointing sports teams and wine culture.

Ohio State director of athletics Ross Bjork joins Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis on The Bill and Doug Show to talk about everything in the world of NIL and football roster building on the last day that players can enter the transfer portal. Topics covered include: * If reality has outpaced the $20.5 million revenue share limit, what should that cap he raised to? * What's the ballpark figure for a roster now, and is Ohio State spending everything it possibly can? * If Ohio State did have a mega donor, how would that person spend money on the Buckeyes? * How should fans think about donating and what do outside collectives do now? * Does Ohio State need a contract expert? * How did the Demond Williams situation affect things and what protections does Ohio State put in its contracts? Thanks for joining The Bill and Doug Show.

The Ohio State Buckeyes and Philadelphia Eagles both won football championships at the end of the 2024 season and failed in their attempts to repeat this season. On this episode of The Bill and Doug Show, Bill Landis and Doug Lesmerises look at the Super Bowl champs for some advice that could apply to the Buckeyes. Sometimes, the best context for a champ is another champ. When it comes to new offensive play callers, the usage of outstanding receivers, pace of play, and a defensive identity that propped things up, there were plenty of things that the Buckeyes and Eagles shared this season.
