Description
The Ohio State Buckeyes are the most interesting team in college football, and Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis love talking ball and having fun with the fans of the defending national champions. Doug and Bill combine for more than three decades of on-the-ground experience covering Ohio State, and they've been talking Buckeyes on podcasts since 2015. On The Bill and Doug Show, the goal is to have a good time, provide insight, look at the big picture of college football, put fans first and fight Southern CFB bias. Thanks for riding with us.
