Tato, pembicaraan sampah, dan buckeyes: adegan dari pertunjukan Joel Klatt Live di Columbus
Columbus was buzzing Thursday night ahead of this weekend’s heavyweight clash between No. 1 Texas and No. 3 Ohio State, and “The Joel Klatt Show” brought the energy straight to Buckeye Nation.
Broadcasting live from the Browning Amphitheater on the Ohio State campus, the sold-out show delivered a mix of football insight, fanfare, and unforgettable moments.
With former Ohio State stars like Cardale Jones and TreVeyon Henderson joining the stage, passionate fans packing the seats, and one diehard even getting a national championship tattoo live on air, it was more than just a show — it was a celebration of Buckeye football.
Here are the top moments from a wild night in Columbus.
Lifelong Buckeyes fan Andy Nero shocks the crowd by getting a “2025 Ohio State National Champions” tattoo on stage.
While Ohio State hasn’t played a snap this season, Nero’s confidence in the Buckeyes is now inked in bold lettering on his upper right shoulder.

During the Q&A portion of “The Joel Klatt Show,” a fan asked Klatt and Jenny Taft who their favorite Buckeye players were from a coverage standpoint.
“J.K. Dobbins,” Taft said. “He was so special.”
Jenny Taft described her life as a sideline reporter.
Jenny Taft spoke with Joel Klatt from Columbus and revealed why she loves being a sideline reporter.
Taft said her greatest challenge is to leave her mark in such a short glimpse of time. It’s about the fans and the stories, she said, never about her. She’s so experienced that she goes off instincts and lets the game breath.
“I love the rush of being on the field,” Taft said. “I just want to make sure I get all the stories to you guys.”
Joel Klatt, Jenny Taft and Cardale Jones shared their best Urban Meyer stories.
Cardale Jones, Joel Klatt and Jenny Taft shared their favorite stories about former Ohio State Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer from Columbus, Ohio.
Taft said Urban Meyer, who coached Ohio State from 2012-18, was “the hardest coach to interview.” Taft would approach Meyer, and he’d instantly be angry, counting down the amount of time the sideline reporter would have to interview him. The funniest part, Taft said, is that they’re best friends now.
Jones described Meyer’s intensity by recalling a play from the 2014 national championship game. As Jones jumped over a defender to get a first-down on a fourth-and-1, his eyes locked with Meyer’s eyes.
Klatt recounted the first time he met Meyer — how they walked to ‘The Shoe,’ where Meyer stared at the 2014 championship banner.

Dua legenda negara bagian Ohio – Treveyon Henderson dan Lathan Ransom – bergabung dengan pertunjukan langsung.
Baru membantu memimpin Buckeyes ke kejuaraan nasional musim lalu, Henderson, yang sekarang menjadi anggota New England Patriots, dan Ransom, yang sekarang menjadi anggota Carolina Panthers, disambut oleh sorak -sorai besar dari umat Buckeye.
Ransom juga berbagi kegembiraan tentang tim tahun ini. Dia percaya Jermaine Mathews Jr akan mengambil langkah berikutnya sebagai punggung defensif.
“Ini mungkin salah satu sudut terbaik yang pernah saya lihat sejak saya pernah ke sini,” kata Random tentang Matthews.
Ransom juga dipompa tentang peningkatan linebacker Arvell Reese dan Sonny Styles.
Lathan Ransom menjelaskan bagaimana Jack Sawyer meyakinkan bintang -bintang untuk kembali untuk menjalankan kejuaraan.
Ada dunia di mana Buckeyes utama yang memimpin tim ke Kejuaraan Nasional CFP 2024 yang tersisa untuk NFL setahun sebelumnya. Henderson, Ransom, Emeka Egbuka, dan lebih banyak lagi yang cukup berbakat untuk melakukannya, tetapi akhir defensif Jack Sawyer memastikan semua orang tinggal selama satu putaran terakhir.
“Dia ada di telinga semua orang memberi tahu kita apa yang bisa kita lakukan,” kata Ransom tentang Sawyer. “Kami tidak ingin keluar seperti itu – keluar dengan kerugian.”
Lathan Ransom memuji Jack Sawyer sebagai alasan utama pemain Ohio State Buckeyes yang kembali untuk kejuaraan mereka musim lalu.
