In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss this week’s conference call with Ryan Day. They talk about the lengths the Ohio State football program has gone to in order to keep the players in football shape. They also discuss the recruiting successes and why Day believes it’s happening. The fellas have a conversation about how much…

Big Ten football programs are going to have to wait a little longer than previously thought to get back onto the practice field. Friday afternoon, the conference announced that it was extending its suspension of organized team activities through at least Monday, May 4.
When it comes to today’s college football, almost every aspect of a player’s life is regimented. Their days start at the football facility for breakfast or workouts or meetings or practice and their nights end at the football facility with more meetings or tutoring or a late bite. In between there are classes. After, there is often somebody that just wants to go home and sleep.
Yesterday, Tom and I were taking part in a teleconference about water coolers when I mentioned to him that a better version of a water cooler would have Diet Dr. Pepper in it.

Last year, work was completed on some new digs at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.

Everything under one roof with the hopes that players would spend as much time at the WHAC as possible.
Like many of you, Ohio State head football coach Ryan Day is working from home these days. With the OSU campus shut down, and the football facilities along with it, Day is running the Ohio State football program from his home office.
