Buddy. I got a certain amount of dollars set aside for paying to read coverage of The Buckeyes, and they are all reserved for wherever Bill Landis writes.

I have long maintained that both Doug and Bill offer the most genuine, truthful and unbiased coverage of the Buckeyes. The podcasting has always been a bright spot and I can’t wait to hear more of it this season. KOTN, if this is the end, “it’s better to burn out than fade away.” I thoroughly enjoyed the new angle it presented.

So happy you guys can monetize your efforts here on Substack.

No one on the beat deserves it more than you two.

Awesome! You two will kill it!

My only request is you throw in some OSU basketball talk once the football season is over.

Thanks, guys!

1. I am sorry y'all are dealing with this - top tier professionals and seem to be good guys that provide the best content out there.

2. Natural name for the site and the accompanying pod is Kings of Columbus. Historically makes sense based on the weekly show y'all did, was always unique in the OSU space without it being obscure, and just sounds cool. If you are looking to distance yourself from the "Kings of" names I get it.

3. How can I pay an extra $150 (in addition to the $50 I initially paid) to become a BAD boy? I want to support but didn't want to do an extra $200 on top of the original $50.

disregard number 3 - it was super easy to upgrade to the BAD tier and it prorated it for me.

Can you post steps to upgrade to BAD? I’m having trouble figuring it out.

Let’s go!! Awesome news. Hope KOTN can remain around in some fashion, even if it’s just the recap show on Saturday night. That Saturday night show is gold

This is a dream come true. I’m sorry Doug won’t be swinging a sword at SEC talking heads, but I’d rather have you both focused exclusively on my Buckeyes. I’ll pay top dollar for that.

I think “Borderline Dangerous” is appropriate, considering that Doug is apparently going to have to retire his collection of swords…

My two favs on the beat by a long shot. This is great news!

I vote for the "Landis Grant Bill of 1862." It pays tribute to your name, the foundation of Ohio State, and the year Doug was born

Hey Bill,

Sorry you have gone through some times here lately but I signed up specifically for yours and Dougs take on OSU. Your Kings of Columbus podcasts were my favorite to listen to, and I loved Kings of the North as well. Happy to support!

Great news, looking forward to it!

If it’s the end of KOTN, props on a fun year and best wishes for what’s next here! I selfishly hope it does stick around in some form though - I enjoy Doug making fun of the geese honking down south!
