Interesting that the ratings basically sucked for the game despite 2 high profile programs. Far worse than last year.

I'm thinking it's because many non-fans of either team figured the game would be a blow out. People at work and who I play tennis with who are basically non-fans basically were congratulating me on the title days before the game. And when it got to 21-7 at the half I assume people stopped watching.

Longer playoffs probably hurt the ratings for the national championship. Buckeyes and ND's typically bring the ratings, however, non fans are probably over watching the Bucks and the Irish 4 games in.

There was also an inauguration in the news that may have preoccupied half the nation.

Multiple things probably contributed to it.

Part in there about MoC is interesting to hear.

We have a lot to discuss on this season on BP but this was a great clip. I can't wait to hear the whole story, but the part that hit home to me is that you bring guys in that have lived the Ohio State experience at a high level. That means bring in Tress, MoC, UFM, everyone that made titles happen because they have already lived what Day was trying to accomplish up until Monday night...the gauntlet was brutal and we did it, but deep down I think having everyone from years' past was really important.

The players and coaches got it done, but by leaning into years of wisdom from true Buckeyes. I love it.

i can see, for example, the clear immediate impact of bringing in tress.

i can see day sounding more like tress with his speaking rhythm, his filler words and pauses, and some of his facial expressions (raising eyebrows for showing emphasis or squinting to show gravity / seriousness, etc.). when he goes into story-telling mode he, he channels tress.

same with the impact from urban... but you can tell that when day's channeling / mirroring urban, he's in a different headspace. he's in the "be resilient", "keep swinging" "hold everyone accountable" hyper-competitive side of his personality. and, just like with tress, when day is channeling urban, his facial expressions, his tone, his cadence and word usage change slightly.

day is "code switching"... conscious and intentional, or not, i don't know. but it shows a clear and direct influence of tress and urban mentoring him.
