Summary
Who are the biggest Buckeye villains of the 21st century? Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr rank the five people Ohio State fans have had the most reason to be angry with this century. The list includes painful losses, controversial calls, Big Ten decisions, playoff heartbreak, Michigan drama, and a few names that still make Buckeye fans shake their heads. They also discuss some honorable mentions, including past Michigan stars, a memorable Illinois quarterback, a Michigan State special teams dagger, and whether one entire rivalry scandal should be blamed on the man in charge. 00:00 — Show open 00:32 — Welcome to the Buckeye Weekly Podcast 01:14 — What makes someone a Buckeye villain? 02:12 — Honorable mentions from the past 02:58 — A few more names Ohio State fans remember 04:17 — A special teams dagger from 2015 04:53 — The first spot on the list 06:22 — How quickly things changed after a championship run 09:08 — A controversial hit in a playoff classic 09:56 — Tom’s personal connection to the aftermath 11:54 — A Big Ten villain enters the discussion 13:44 — The fight to save the 2020 football season 16:16 — A replay decision Ohio State fans will never forget 18:10 — Why the call still makes no sense 20:51 — The top spot and the Michigan years 23:13 — The scandal, the fallout, and the cost 26:47 — Did we miss anybody? 28:25 — Wrap-up and YouTube hype reminder Who would be No. 1 on your list?
