There is nothing than returning to the podcast and ripping anything and everything to do with TTUN! On this week's show, Joe and Clair have fun with the latest in Michigan failure -- including Marie Sue Coleman's Drunk Halftime speech, Ron English's adjective to explain the type of football his former Eastern Michigan team plays, plus a Michigan fan that literally blamed all his drunken sorrows on Al Borges. Oh, and we get you ready for Illinois/Ohio State on Saturday too! Joe and Clair also talk about the current state of football through the recent bullying scandal in Miami, Where this coaching staff could end up after the season and how Luke Fickell could be a wanted commodity by more than just Florida Atlantic. One school that comes up is the winless Miami of Ohio program. This and much more on the program this week! Thanks for listening! And make sure you listen in on Itunes!

Clair and Joe talk Boilermakers and anything else that is more interesting than this week's football game!

Clair and Joe are back to talk picking off passes and turning them into six point! It's another week and the gang has yet another jam packed show for you as Ohio State looks to move their winning streak to 20 straight games on Saturday night against Penn State University. The Nittany Lions are coming off a bye week and are in stride after an overtime victory over TTUN the week before. Joe and Clair preview Saturday's game, talk targeting, Lebron James on the gridiron, and the disgrace that is the NCAA in regards to their recent ruling after a 2 1/2 year investigation into the Miami Hurricane program. We are then joined by Mark Wogenrich, who covers Penn State for the Allentown Morning Call. Wogenrich breaks down what it's like covering Bill O'Brien, the talent of true freshman Christian Hackenberg, the fanbase mindset after the recent reduction in penalties handed down by the NCAA, and how their ruling in the Miami investigation is a kick in the gut of Nittany Lion fans. Wogenrich also breaks down the game Saturday by talking about Penn State's top playmaker, Allen Robinson -- as well as the PSU coaching staff's desire to recruit Ohio, the team defense, and what it will take to win on Saturday.

What is Up Buckeye Nation? Another edition of The Buckeye Battle Cry Radio Hour is here as we get prepared for a Hawkeye invasion in Columbus this Saturday. Clair and Joe are back breaking down the latest in College Football, Buckeye News and this week's opponent. The Hawkeyes head into Columbus young and hungry -- hoping to bounce back from an offensive nightmare against Michigan State last week. Clair and Joe break prepare you for Saturday by breaking down the latest news from the bye week, gushing over arguably our favorite player in the world -- Carlos Hyde, and debating who has the ugliest uniforms in college football. Here's a hint -- it's a team that will be battling Ohio State Saturday. Clair and Joe also rip the "Ace of Mace," and how there are not many better things in life than seeing a Wolverine fan being pepper sprayed in the face. Things get serious this week, when Steve Batterson of The Quad-City Times and HawkMania.com stops by to talk about Iowa and their stout defense and running game. Batterson also shares his thoughts on how this team has been able to find a more balanced offensive attack, recruit out of state, and put together winning football by already matching last year's win total.

You know it's hate week when we are dropping F-bombs and wishing everything but the best to our opponent. And that my friends, is what this week's episode of the Radio Hour is all about!tbbc Radio Hour itunes With Wisconsin on the mind, there was only one person to bring in to remind us of the hatred we have for Bucky. It was great to have my main man Eric back on the show to break down Saturday's showdown with #24 Wisconsin. Eric is the Rodney Dangerfield of the site. Cause that dude's got no respect -- no respect for the Badgers. Eric and I look at Saturday night's game from an Ohio State perspective and also break down the latest from the department of Idiocy. Better known as the NCAA. Eric and I discuss OSU's defense against the run, the "QB controversy," whether Wisconsin is a true rival, Urban Meyers' "King of the Big Ten" comments and much much more. We then get the Wisconsin viewpoint from Bleacher Report's Andy Coppens. Coppens breaks it down Badger style (that's a scary visual image) and gives us his thoughts on the three headed rushing attack, Joel Stave's wonderment and the best defense in the B1G. Thanks to Andy and the staff at Mad Town Badgers for the great collaboration over the week. You can also find Andy's work on the Big Ten over at Bleacher Report's B1g Blog. And finally, we get the view of a Wisconsin fan's daydream during hate week. You're not going to want to miss this! Thanks for listening in this week and of course, you can always find us on Itunes!
