Here are the other two that jumped out at me:
  • Day says the "number one" priority at Ohio State must be the development of the players. "Certainly there's gonna be opportunities with NIL that were never here before. ... But where are you gonna be in three to five years?
  • Day says players have "a lot of flexibility right now" in college football, and that "there are a lot of things going on right now that I know are hard for guys to walk away from. ... We're doing everything we can to do the right thing."
Where are you going to be in 3-5 years? You can't try and sell development alone to compensate for a weak NIL game and the "do the right thing" stuff pops up all over the place. It's the wild west, there are no rules or enforcement in place right now. Go compete. The boy scout routine is an excuse at this point imo.

It is an excuse, but I also think they're genuinely surprised that kids took the money to go somewhere else. I also feel like they realized they were wrong, but it was too late to do anything about this cycle. Maybe that's a hopeful projection on my part.

I do think there's a line to walk for NIL. You're not gonna accomplish your goals with a team of mercenaries, but you gotta be able to pay the guys you want to be here.

His hands are also tied by Ohio State laws.

.. so firmly in the "we're always going to suck without JSN" camp.
I guess "next man up" mentality doesn't work in 2020s.

Stop twisting what I'm saying. You can adjust all you want, but it doesn't replace the best player you lost. How is this a hard concept. You really think they're going to run the exact same plays formations and schemes without him when they have time to install new things in the offseason?

Fleming isnt that good yet. He runs go routes and csnt make contested catches. So you have 1 great WR 1 good WR, him and a TE that is struggling to make catches. That's an elite receiving corp? Its not hard to adjust on defense when you only have to worry about 2 guys.

If Fleming is just a guy, why weren’t the heralded recruits playing? Xavier Johnson became a godsend for this Team. I love what he gave the team but nobody in the WR room gave them anything ..Ballard a little in blowouts.

This is the biggest game for an Ohio State head coach in a long time. Probably since Tressel and the Rose Bowl against Oregon where there were starting to be questions if he/ the program could win big games on the national stage. If he gets blown out, after two very bad losses to Michigan, after getting blown out by Alabama the last time they played an SEC team in the playoffs, after a disappointing finish to the recruiting cycle to say the least...yikes. He really needs this to be a competitive game at worst.

Coming up just short isn't going to do much I don't think. It's too late for that.

I disagree…..blowout loss and the temperature gets hot.

Close loss where most of OSU nation is expecting a multiple score loss and I think he’s given some rope.

Honestly, I think he’s a great coach heading into the new format in 2024….so a short sighted reaction to Harbaugh and 7th year seniors the last few years would be idiotic but I get there’s a different side to the coin.

It hasn’t sucked getting elite QB’s and WR’s every year. Understand we need to fix some areas ASAP as well.

I don't think he's going to get any official heat one way or the other. I think the unofficial heat from the fanbase isn't going to get any better no matter the form of L.

Hopefully we don't get to find out.

It's an all or nothing thing for Day to redeem himself, no doubt.

The horror of possibly losing that rematch is a little overwhelming. Not going to lie.

I personally don’t think we are prepared for that fight right now.

As a UFC fan, Michigan would be the top class wrestler that applies all the pressure. We are the talented striker with limited grappling skills…..you put your money on the wrestler/BJJ guy nearly every time because fights get messy.

It will take time for us to overcome what Michigan is currently…the good news is I think we can get better in some areas and I don’t think Michigan can sustain what they have in some areas.

I've been wondering that as well. Fleming has so little experience that I think he can be great but right now isn't.

I think it's just a case of young talent not being ready to play at an elite level. The guys are there but they need a year of training.
