Bucknuts Morning 5

We are happy to welcome Doug Lesmerises from Cleveland.com to today's show to discuss the Ohio State beat and all the drama that goes along with it. Doug recently did a 2-part, 4-hour podcast examining the beat, including interviews with many writers on the beat, and he offers his main takeaways on today's show. Why did Doug want to do the podcast? What part do message boards play when covering a team like the Buckeyes?Also, how did Doug become a sportswriter? What were his initial impressions of the Buckeyes' beat when he joined it in 2005? How has it changed? Has he ever gotten into shouting arguments with other reporters? Does Ohio State have the largest beat in all of American sports, including pro sports?
