THE SCRIPT: A Podcast on THE Ohio State Buckeyes

Ohio State Recruiting Camp, Jett Harrison, Top QBs. Bo Jackson Snubbed by ESPN, Dusty May Gone

On this week’s episode of THE SCRIPT, Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells, and host Dave Holmes are back with another loaded show. Dave returns from Seattle just in time to celebrate Team USA advancing to the knockout stage of the FIFA World Cup, and we find out that both Cardale and Beanie are fully on board the USA soccer bandwagon. After talking fútbol, the conversation shifts back to football as Ohio State welcomed several elite recruits to Columbus last weekend, including some of the top quarterbacks and prospects in the country. We break down the biggest visitors, who stood out the most, and what it could mean for the Buckeyes’ future, including discussions on Jett Harrison and Brady Edmunds. Presented by Buckeye Basement Solutions, the guys react to Ryan Day’s recent comments about Ohio State needing to improve in fourth-quarter situations. Cardale and Beanie share their perspective on what it takes to finish games and how the Buckeyes can be better in crunch time this season. Later, the crew debates whether Bo Jackson was snubbed after ESPN left him out of its top 10 running backs list. Do you agree? Let us know in the comments if Bo belongs among the game's great backs. Then, thanks to KEMBA Financial Credit Union, we revisit Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby and discuss whether he has what it takes to hear his name called in the NFL Supplemental Draft. Plus, why this could be the most exciting time for Ohio State men’s basketball in years, and what exactly is going on with former Cincinnati Bengals star cornerback Sauce Gardner?

Ohio State All-Americans, Sayin Snubbed? Cardale & Beanie Glory Days Stories, Browns Tank?

On this week’s episode of THE SCRIPT, Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells, and host Dave Holmes kick things off by breaking down Phil Steele’s Preseason All-American teams, where six Buckeyes earned recognition. Who made the cut, who got snubbed, and should Julian Sayin be ranked even higher? Let us know your thoughts in the comments. The conversation then turns to one of Cardale’s favorite debates: should he have three national championship rings instead of one? It’s a discussion the guys have had plenty of times off-camera, and this time they’re bringing it to the show. Agree or disagree, you won’t want to miss this one. Thanks to our friends at KEMBA Financial Credit Union, we also dive into the latest Ohio State recruiting news. Which top prospects are trending toward Columbus, and in today’s NIL era, can any recruit truly be considered a lock? Later, the guys check in on Ohio’s NFL teams, where the Cleveland Browns’ quarterback situation remains as complicated as ever. With Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders reportedly splitting reps, Cardale and Beanie discuss what the Browns should do moving forward. Thanks to Buckeye Basement Solutions, we ask the big question: Watson, Shedeur, or tank for Julian Sayin? The show also celebrates Ryan Day after his induction into the New Hampshire Sports Hall of Fame. That leads to a fun conversation about coaching, leadership, and whether it’s easier for players to take direction from someone who’s been in their shoes. To close things out, Cardale and Beanie take a trip down memory lane, sharing some legendary high school football stories from their playing days that you won’t hear anywhere else.

Big Ten vs. SEC: Which Conference Is Really Better? Transfer Limits, Salary Caps & Sorsby Drama

On this week's episode of THE SCRIPT, Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells, and host Dave Holmes are back after a two-week hiatus—and we didn't come empty-handed. Thanks to our new sponsor, KEMBA Financial Credit Union, we've got fresh shoes, new merch, and even a custom cake. You'll have to watch on YouTube to see it for yourself. That's right—THE SCRIPT is celebrating Season 2 with a new sponsor, and we're grateful for all of our partners, including KEMBA Financial Credit Union, Dr Pepper, and Buckeye Basement Solutions. We kick things off with the biggest debate in college football: the courtroom battles shaping the future of the sport. Should there be transfer limits? A salary cap? Restrictions on coach poaching? We break down all the offseason drama and take a hard look at the growing push for regulation. We also discuss Nick Saban's recent comments on player compensation and whether it's fair for coaches who benefited from the old system to now advocate for limits on athlete earnings. Later, we dive into SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey's claim that the SEC remains the best conference in America. We aren't buying it. Is the SEC still the unquestioned king of college football, or are those days over? We also discuss the conference finally moving away from late-season cupcake games in 2027 and what that means for the sport. Thanks to KEMBA Financial Credit Union, we check in on some major local headlines, including the Cleveland Browns trading future Hall of Fame defensive lineman Myles Garrett. Did Cleveland get enough in return, or is it another questionable move by the Browns? The conversation then shifts to Texas Tech quarterback Brandon Sorsby, his gambling controversy, and his eligibility status. After reports surfaced that he wagered thousands of dollars on his own team, we discuss why he's still eligible to play and whether college football is sending the wrong message. Sponsored by our friends at Buckeye Basement Solutions, we break down every angle of the story. Finally, Beanie and Cardale are forced to make an impossible choice: if they could only pick one Ohio State quarterback of all time, who would it be? Plus, will the Chicago Bears really leave Illinois and move to Northwest Indiana? All that and much more on THE SCRIPT! #sports #football #NFL #nfldraft Thank you to our sponsors: Dr Pepper - It's a Pepper Thing!

Urban Meyer Joins the Show! Cardale's Infamous Tweet, 2014 OSU Best Team Ever? 24 CFP Teams?

On this week’s episode of THE SCRIPT, Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells, and host Dave Holmes welcome legendary Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer to the show! Coach Meyer — now co-host of The Triple Option alongside Rob Stone and Mark Ingram — joins the guys for an unforgettable conversation filled with stories, laughs, and plenty of Buckeye football talk. The episode kicks off with Coach Meyer immediately getting on Cardale for showing up late, making it very clear that wouldn’t have flown during his time at Ohio State. Naturally, the crew also revisits Cardale’s infamous “We ain’t come here to play school” tweet and what Meyer thought about it at the time. The guys also ask Coach Meyer what he really thought after J.T. Barrett’s injury in 2014 and whether he believed Cardale could lead Ohio State to a national championship. His answer might surprise you. Later, Beanie asks where the 2014 Buckeyes rank among the best teams Coach Meyer ever coached. Of course, the rivalry comes up as the crew discusses Meyer’s undefeated record against Michigan and whether that stands as his proudest accomplishment in Columbus. The conversation then shifts to the Wolverines as Coach Meyer shares his thoughts on his longtime friend Kyle Whittingham reportedly taking over in Ann Arbor. The crew also gets Coach Meyer’s take on the proposed 24-team College Football Playoff. Is expansion getting out of control, or is bigger actually better for the sport? After the interview, Cardale, Beanie, and Dave react to Arvell Reese calling the moment he lost his black stripe the greatest feeling of his football career. That leads to a fun conversation about the defining moments from Cardale and Beanie’s own Ohio State careers. To close out the show, the guys react to CBS Sports ranking the top defensive players in college football — with zero Buckeyes making the list. They discuss which Ohio State defenders are primed for breakout seasons under new defensive coordinator Matt Patricia.

The guys dive into Ryan Day’s son, RJ Day, committing to play for Chip Kelly and the Northwestern Wildcats, react to Ohio State’s brand-new Tunnel Vision uniforms, and celebrate the historic NFL Draft success of the Buckeyes’ 2024 national championship defense. Plus, they discuss the lasting impact of Ted Ginn Sr. on generations of Ohio State athletes and debate whether LeBron James should return to Cleveland to finish his legendary NBA career. Will RJ Day thrive under Chip Kelly in Chicago, or could things get awkward between Ohio State and its former assistant coach? Cardale and Beanie give their thoughts on one of the more fascinating offseason storylines in college football. The crew also has plenty of fun reacting to Ohio State’s new uniforms and shares their favorite Buckeye jersey combinations of all time — along with what they’d love to see next from the program. After a historic NFL Draft that saw all 11 starters from Ohio State’s 2024 championship defense get selected, the guys reflect on what made that defense so special and what it means for the Buckeyes moving forward. Later in the show, thanks to our friends at Buckeye Basement Solutions, the crew discusses proposed changes to the college football calendar, including conference championship games, the exclusivity of the Army-Navy game, and possible scheduling changes across the sport. Plus, Julian Sayin made headlines with his recent comments on The Triple Option with Urban Meyer, and the crew breaks down everything the future Buckeye QB had to say. And don’t miss next week’s episode featuring special guest Urban Meyer.
