Jeff “Tito” Thitoff is back with another edition of The Buckeyes Daily Blitz, breaking down a huge week in Ohio State athletics.

Jim Tressel is officially headed into the Ohio State Ring of Honor, joining legendary Buckeyes coaches Paul Brown and Woody Hayes with permanent recognition inside Ohio Stadium. Tito reacts to Tressel’s emotional surprise announcement, his legacy at Ohio State, his dominance over Michigan, and why he may be the most important Buckeyes football hire since Woody Hayes.

Plus, former Ohio State guard Bruce Thornton hears his name called with the first pick of the second round in the NBA Draft, landing with the Houston Rockets. Tito discusses Thornton’s NBA fit, his potential role in Houston, and why the Rockets clearly see something in the former Buckeye.

Also on the show: Ohio State basketball’s future with Anthony Thompson, early 2027 NBA Draft buzz, and the NCAA’s new five-years-to-play-five eligibility rule.

Ohio State basketball has talent. Now it has expectations.

Tito also dives into John Mobley Jr.’s next step, Amari Williams’ offseason growth, Justin Pippen’s leadership role, and why this Buckeyes roster has no excuse to miss the NCAA Tournament.

This might be Jake Diebler’s most talented Ohio State team yet. Now it has to win like it.

Jeff “Tito” Thitoff sounds off on another spicy round of college football trash talk on the Buckeyes Daily Blitz Podcast.

Steve Sarkisian fired a shot at Texas Tech, Lane Kiffin took aim at the Big Ten, and Tito is not buying the idea that Ohio State’s schedule is filled with cupcakes. From Oregon and Indiana to USC, Iowa and Illinois, the Buckeyes’ path is anything but soft.

Plus, Washington coach Jedd Fisch has a real solution for fixing non-conference scheduling, and Tito explains why power-conference matchups — and even preseason exhibitions — would be better than watching Ohio State beat up on Ball State and Kent State.

Then it’s recruiting time: James Laurinaitis keeps stacking talent in Columbus with a major 2027 linebacker pickup in Prince Goldsby. Why Ohio State isn’t rebuilding — it’s reloading.
