It was a joy watching this season with you all. I will catch most of you during the off season. Everyone here has made watching Buckeye games less stressful and less lonely. Going through ups and downs of Buckeye football is certainly better than enjoying and suffering in solitude.

Much love and Happy New Year. I hope you all can find joy in things other than Buckeye football.

I’ve got a lot to say…..waiting until tomorrow to let it out….

Super embarrassed by the strategy and performance though….its hard to imagine self-scouting your performance against Indiana, and somehow getting worse…

Yet, that’s exactly what happened. I don’t expect OSU to be an unbeatable juggernaut every year….thats not realistic….yet, I also don’t expect them to trip over their own dicks every time they’re in a fight with another team that has comparable talent. OSU got embarrassed tonight….and to me (and many people with $$$) it wasn’t because of the players…..it was because of the approach to the game and the position the kids were put in.

Ryan Day saved his job with the Natty last year, but he’s shown a really soft mentality throughout his tenure (and awful clock management as well).

There were moments in tonight’s game I couldn’t believe what I was seeing….ill save it for another post.

Bummed about the loss, but not surprised. Will be hard to watch football tomorrow knowing we’re more talented than every team left in the field. Frustrating.

At halftime, would anybody not take our current situation?

They lost to fucking Louisville and SMU.

THE BUCKEYES SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN IN THAT POSITION AT HALFTIME IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Day getting pantsed by a career mid coach like Cristobal is a concern

Kirby got pantsed by Marcus Freeman last year lol. It‘s not that serious. This loss sucks but I’m kinda over it. It’s honestly a miracle the team was as good as it was given all the losses. If this team was like last year when they pretty much had everything they needed and still couldn’t get it done I’d be depressed. I think a solid OC hire and a few good portal additions are all that’s needed.

I think the OC will probably be a homerun hire but not sure how the OL situation shakes out.

Oh and change everything about STs lol.

Speaking of horrible management...

Also play with urgency next season.

You said it. When we were finally in a war we couldn’t respond.

I realize they want to limit the reps but maybe how you do that is by going up 21-0 in the first? Then you can coast.

When you have no fast ball to your change up then that’s a bad deal

That's really all I have to say about it. Boat race them with our talent and break their will. If you leave good teams in it and play as slow as we did on offense, mistakes are magnified. You get down and it puts a lot of pressure on the guys to change the game plan, aka desperation mode. It was going to bite us eventually and this was the game.

I know. I hope they find a great kicker in the portal who can consistently hit longer kicks.

I'm going to say it again for the idk-how-many-th time. Ohio State has a TOP FIVE soccer program. Offer one of those dudes a cool million in NIL to come kick FGs. Fuck the portal. Your kicker is already on campus.
