WATCH: FOX’s Charlotte Wilder gets ‘recruited’ by Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann

This is a fun little production starring Ohio State hoops coach Chris Holtmann and player Kyle Young!

The Ohio State football team is welcoming in Oregon on Saturday. If anyone didn’t tell you, it’s a pretty significant game in the grand scheme of things. It’s a top fifteen matchup and one that could go a long way towards catapulting one of these programs to a pretty special year.

Because it’s such a game that has heightened meaning, the team at “FOX’s Ultimate College Football Tour, sponsored by Dos Equis” is in town. That includes former Ohio State basketball player and media personality Mark Titus who was reflective upon his return to Columbus. He brought with him his co-host Charlotte Wilder who is ready to take in all things Ohio State for the first time.

One of those things that Wilder got to experience was some time with head basketball coach Chris Holtmann. You see, Wilder had a special time at the team’s first stop in Wisconsin, and she’s being heavily recruited as a five-star fan. What type of pitch does Holtmann, along with current player Kyle Young have to sway Wilder?

Well, you’ll have to see for yourself. Watch below as Wilder is taken on on a tour through the Ohio State basketball facilities and program. It’s a pretty fun little journey through the Schott.

Welcome to the fan club Charlotte. It’s a beautiful place to be.

Mark Titus reflects on time at Ohio State, comes home with co-host Charlotte Wilder as a part of the ‘FOX Sports Ultimate College Football Road Trip’

You are going to want to read what Ohio State still means to Mark Titus to this day. Oh, and he brought his co-host Charlotte Wilder with him to show off OSU as the two prepare for the Oregon game.

Stop what you are doing and take in this public service announcement. If you haven’t gotten on board with FOX Sports’ new “Ultimate College Football Road Trip sponsored by Dos Equis,” you might want to get the memo, digest it, and take action. It is co-hosted by former Ohio State basketball walk-on and media-savant Mark Titus. His partner is Charlotte Wilder and together they both also co-host the “People’s Sports Podcast.”

Now, they are both taking their show on the road with the “Ultimate College Football Road Trip,” and visiting eight college campuses this fall to take in all the sights, sounds, pageantry, and emotion that is college football. The first trip saw the duo visit Madison, Wisconsin to experience college football being bringng fans back. The two went behind the scenes with the Wisconsin band, made other appearnacnce, and of course, got to witness “Jump Around” first hand.

Now Titus and Wilder are taking their talents to Columbus, Ohio for the Ohio State vs. Oregon game and that means “Mr. Rainmaker” is back where it all started. I originally started this piece believing that it would be about what the sbow was all about, what kind of cool features the two will show us, and what kind of wacky situations they could get themselves in. And, to be fair, there is certainly plenty of that, but it became clear to me that their efforts and desires to go to campus like Ohio State is about more than that.

Wilder painted a picture of wanting to help people through what we’ve all been going through with the pandemic and showing everyone how much these types of gatherings and college football in general mean to so many.

Titus echoed very similar thoughts, but began to get emotional and reflective on what Ohio State has meant to him. How coming back has really brought back a flood of memories and gratefulness for the people of Ohio, and what the place Buckeye Nation will forever have in his heart.

It was — and is — refreshing to say the least. College football is back, and these are the type of people and shows that make you forget a little about the state of the world. And who couldn’t use a heaping dose of that right now?

Here are the highlights of what Titus and Wilder (who have amazing show chemistry together by the way) had to say about their work on “FOX Sports Ultimate College Football Road Trip,” and what it means to visit THE Ohio State University.

All as we prepare for the tussle on the gridiron between Ohio State and Oregon Saturday.
