Just want to call attention to something in this video. Look at Laurinaitis' eyes in the first minute. Watch Hartline as they come into the tunnel. Listen to the work for our love for one another rather than hatred of them. What Day has done is to build a culture that is informed by the culture of Ohio's farmlands and central Ohio urban areas, the legendary teams of the past, and something very much rooted in a holistic human development approach to these players. That is not easy to copy. Stunningly good.

This is why they will repeat.

Lane is Lane.

You take the good with the bad.

It’s not complicated……I think LSU overpaid and will be disappointed…..I think Ole Miss has way overreacted to him leaving. If Lane knocked it outta the park at Ole Miss, of course he’s moving on….

The ability to be rational amongst other fans, is just foreign at this point. It’s embarrassing.

Today’s question: What was your biggest takeaway from The Game?​

Brett’s answer: Officiating in college football keeps getting worse
I know it’s probably crazy to be crying about the officiating after Ohio State beat Michigan. That should tell you just how bad it was on Saturday in Ann Arbor. I’m still flabbergasted at how Michigan defender Jaishawn Barham wasn’t ejected in the first quarter after appearing to headbutt an official. While I know college football has a system where two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties lead to an ejection, I would think that making contact with an official would supersede the two unsportsmanlike foul system they have in place. I’ve seen players in the NFL ejected for lighter contact made with an official than what Barham did on Saturday.

Matt’s answer: Michigan Men are a bunch of bums...
From throwing shoulders in the tunnel to head-butting refs, from trying to provoke fights to embellishing meaningless contact, from protecting the M to disrupting OSU’s wireless communication, we got a healthy dose of what being a Michigan Man really means on Saturday.

From even before the game started, it was clear that the Wolverines realized that the only way they could possibly win was to attempt to provoke outrage from the Buckeyes and take them emotionally out of their game. We saw wide receiver Andrew Marsh throw a shoulder in the tunnel pregame to Ohio State tight end coach Keenan Bailey, and we saw linebacker Jaishawn Barham doing the same to multiple Buckeye players. Even before the game started, TTUN was proving that their pompous, holier-than-thou act is nothing but a bullshit facade to mask their massive inferiority complexes.

We saw it during the game when Barham decided it was a good idea to literally headbutt an official in the first quarter, and somehow, that official decided to err on not having an oversized impact on the game, and declined to eject him, despite the fact that every officiating expert in the country said he should have.

We saw a personal foul penalty waved off because a Michigan player flopped after extremely minor contact from a Buckeye, and we saw Corn and Blue players pushing and getting extra mouthy after practically every play, despite the fact that they were getting embarrassed on nearly every snap for three straight quarters.

Then, in the second half, mysteriously, the Ohio State wireless communication system stopped working. I’m sure that was just a coincidence, and no one associated with the Michigan program would ever do anything untoward involving technology during a football game. Fortunately, Ryan Day had “an inkling” that something could go wrong with the team’s comms while at the Big House, so they prepared backup hand signals and wristband calls, just in case.

Then there was their faux display of machismo after the game, where they stood at the center of the field to defend their M, just in case OSU players wanted to plant a flag, as they did at The Horseshoe last year. I know it’s been said a lot, but they spent more effort defending midfield after the game than they did defending their end zone the whole game.

I find it absolutely comical that the players likely had a conversation before the game about what they would do if they lost. They assumed that everyone was as big of dicks as they were, so they spent time planning what they would do if/when the Buckeyes won the game. Just absolutely dimwit, douchebag behavior.

Fortunately for all involved, Day had been preaching to his team to win with humility — a hallmark of his program over the past year — and he reinforced it after the game by imploring Sherrone Moore to do the right thing and get his players off the field before the situation escalated into something more than it already was.

Ohio State and its players are far from perfect, but I thank Woody above every day that I wasn’t born into Michigan fandom. Hail to those, well, you know the rest………..

Apparently all of the smoke has been on USC but I have always thought he would stick with OSU. would be quite the turn of events according to the on3 guys

I like #7 throwing the half interested shoulder.

Very telling.

By that time, their offense and coaching staff had already quit. They were in “limit the point spread” mode. Hard for the defense to give a shit.

This somehow relates to this thread

Ryan Day Says Ohio State’s Fourth-Down Touchdown Play Call is One It Had Saved For Key Moment

Ryan Day said Ohio State's fourth-down touchdown to Jeremiah Smith was a play call it had banked for later in The Game, but felt then was the right time to unveil it.

Too many posts to link, but their boards are in complete meltdown, They want the AD shitcanned, arguing with each other about whether they should just hire Terry Smith ( because he wore a "Joe 409" pin during one game). and now many think they are going to hire Brian Hartline away from OSU in the middle of preparing for a conference championship game and a playoff run. Glorious reading over there!

This whole Hartline to PSU saga is something that may have had legs a month or so ago. It appeared that PSU was in control of of their future and their AD was dialed in.

The longer this shit has played out, the more exposed these frauds have become. I know Day has to be advising Hartline to stay away from this mess and I’m sure Brian feels the same way.

PSU fans REALLY think that he wants to gamble his legacy on a gig with the entire program burning to the ground around it? Lol delusional ass fanbase.

“#WeAre… soooo fucking screwed”

Brutus in the end zone picture, printed out, framed, on my man cave wall. Boom.

I dont believe the idea that you lost to a good team has any merit. The point is you lost. The overall number of losses matters, but who they happened to (i.e., quality of opponent) doesn't really make much difference IMO. A team has to stand on their merits, that's who you beat, not who you lost to.

When losses happen definitely matters IMO. And that's exactly why Miami is behind ND. You can't lose to unranked teams later in the season and expect not to get dinged for it. I'm not on the "good loss" bs train but BAD losses definitely should have a big effect. Louisville and SMU are very very mediocre football teams.

I don't think ND or Miami win more than the opening round game if even that if they get in so in the grand scheme this argument probably doesn't matter much.
