This big Wednesday episode is like three Buckeye Talks in one. First, Doug Lesmerises and Nathan Baird do a round of rapid fire questions from text subscribers, including how far quarterback Justin Fields is from reaching his upside and which out-of-business chain restaurants they miss the most.\nThen Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith makes his first Buckeye Talk appearance for a half-hour interview, as he and Doug talk about the Buckeyes' involvement with the Black Lives Matter movement, whether Ohio State should have more black assistant coaches, what Smith's career as a black college football administrator has been like and how OSU athletes might continue to show some form of protest, including possibly kneeling for the National Anthem in the fall.\nThen, the podcast ends with three big, meaty questions from text subscribers, all related to the Big Ten chasing the Buckeyes:\n\nWhich Big Ten fan base should be the most discouraged?\n\nWhich Big Ten team will be the next to beat Ohio State?\n\nWhich Big Ten team would you like to see jump up and become a College Football Playoff contender?\n\nThere's a lot happening on a lot of different topics on our weekly flagship episode.
