The Buckeye Weekly Podcast

Here is an episode of the newest podcast at Buckeye Huddle -- 'Around The Big Ten' -- hosted by Marc Givler and Chip Minnich.

They have been doing a series on three questions for each B1G team as spring football approaches, so we thought it would be appropriate to go ahead and include their episode about Ohio State into the Buckeye Weekly feed.
