The grind is real. The standards are sky high. And the competition for spots? Ruthless.

In Episode 2 of The College Diaries, our homegrown Aussie Joe McGuire takes us deeper into the engine room of Ohio State Football – where days start early, the gym numbers are off the charts, and every single rep could make or break your spot and your season.

From a special Collingwood gift for a teammate to the raw intensity of pre-season training, Joe shares what it really takes to earn your spot on the field in one of the most elite sporting environments in the world. It’s early mornings, high stakes, and big pressure – but it’s all part of chasing greatness with the Buckeyes.

This is college football as you've never heard it. The culture. The chaos. The competition. And the characters.

Joe’s got a front row seat – and you do too.

You might think you know the story of Stuart MacGill. But trust me… you don’t.

Before we get to the deep stuff, the heavy stuff, the incredible and at times confronting stuff – first, we laugh. Because he is one of the great characters. He’s sharp, he’s funny, and his stories are as unique as his bowling action.

What follows this, is raw, real and honest. A life full of highs and incredible challenges. This is a man who lived a dream and then endured a nightmare. It’s emotional. It’s powerful. It’s special.

For me personally, it’s a privilege to share Stuart’s story.

This one means a lot.
