Welcome into another Buckeyes Daily Blitz with Jeff “Tito” Thitoff as he reacts to a busy stretch for Ohio State basketball and football.

Tito starts with the Buckeye men’s 88–80 home loss to No. 13 Illinois: the empty seats at Value City Arena, Bruce Thornton’s 34-point explosion, and the sloppy, unnecessary fouls that helped cost OSU a chance at a statement win. He explains why this team can still be dangerous in March but has to clean up mental mistakes with a brutal Big Ten and non-conference schedule coming (West Virginia in Cleveland, then North Carolina in the CBS Sports Classic).

Then it’s on to Ohio State football, prepping for the New Year’s Eve Cotton Bowl against Miami or Texas A&M. Tito touches on Brian Hartline’s USF trip, why one bad game plan isn’t all on him, and then digs into the kicking game drama after Jaden Fielding’s costly miss and the disturbing social media abuse that followed. With transfer kicker Jackson Courville waiting in the wings, Tito wonders if Ryan Day might turn to him in certain situations – or stick with Fielding down the stretch.

He also reminds fans that in big games, special teams mistakes can end seasons just as quickly as offensive or defensive breakdowns.

eff “Tito” Thitoff is back with another Buckeyes Daily Blitz, and Ohio State fans are riding high.

Tito opens with a quick look at Ohio State hoops: the women absolutely destroy Niagara and crack the Top 25, while the men suffer another buzzer-beater heartbreaker to Pitt before both programs gear up for Big Ten play vs. Northwestern.

Then it is all about Ohio State 27, Michigan 9.

Tito breaks down how the Buckeyes dominated in the Big House, snapped a four-game losing streak to Michigan, and why this win means everything for Ryan Day. He dives into:

• Why Ryan Day is the perfect modern college football coach
• Matt Patricia leading the best defense in college football
• The massive gap now between Ohio State and Michigan in the Big Ten
• Why Michigan might be closer to the middle of the pack than the top
• Clearing up the Carnell Tate “agent” rumors and praising this tight-knit locker room
• Why Ohio State is the premier program in the country right now
• Early thoughts on the B1G Championship showdown vs. Indiana

If you love Buckeye football and hate Michigan excuses, this is your show.

The Buckeyes are rolling at 4-0 in basketball and undefeated in football, and Jeff “Tito” Thitoff breaks down another busy week in Columbus. Ohio State’s men’s team survived a tight battle with Notre Dame, the women hung with top-ranked UConn early, and both programs return home this week for key matchups.

Then it’s on to football. After a dominant 48-10 win over UCLA, the Buckeyes now turn their attention to Rutgers in the final home game of the season. Tito dives into the injury situation with Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate, why Ryan Day is staying cautious, and how Ohio State is preparing for what’s really ahead - Michigan, the Big Ten Championship, and a push toward the College Football Playoff.

Tito also breaks down the new CFP rankings, why Michigan isn’t built to handle this Ohio State defense, and why the Big Ten is unlikely to get four teams into the postseason.

It’s Ohio State talk every day - this is The Buckeyes Daily Blitz Podcast with Jeff “Tito” Thitoff.
