HC Ryan Day (2019 B1G Media COY)

[bucknut11]

Exactly.

2019 Clemson. 2022 Georgia. 2024 Oregon. All games we never should have lost under any circumstance, but did...

The one in Atlanta where OSU was a 6pt underdog against the #1 team in the country?

Shhh...inconvenient truths are not allowed during a post-OSU loss character assassination...

Sorry, but pregame expectations don't mean squat when you establish a double digit lead in the 4th quarter and blow it. You gotta finish those, I don't give a damn who the opponent is.

 

[ORD_Buckeye]

Yep. If we can't manage to land these types of guys out of HS, there is absolutely zero reason we should not be able to go find a at least capable kicker through the portal.

If Day and Staff are looking at what we have and saying "yea thats good enough" then that's a major problem.

Or did we go after the Fredo kicker, and he felt that he wouldn't be developed to get to the NFL at Ohio State and chose Bama instead?

Left out the other part where the other team targets our star WR to take him out of the game.

 

[ORD_Buckeye]

You know it’s worse when no one can give a name of a candidate that would be a better replacement.

 

[ORD_Buckeye]

It’s not one 1pt loss…it’s 1-7 and all the losses looking pretty much the same. But whatever

3 losses were against a stacked deck
1 loss was against what will go down as Saban's best team ever (and with Fields playing with a cracked rib)
1 loss was against a generational repeat national champion that took MHJ out of the game
1 loss was by one point on the road against the #3 team in the country

Who gives a shit what the circumstances were before the game?

We all watched the game, we all know who was the better team that night and who should have won.

Talking about pregame rankings and Vegas odds might be the most disingenuous argument I've ever seen in defense of a team blowing a game.

I mean, wow. Next thing I'll start hearing about NCAA 25 simulations

In the 100+ years of Ohio State football, and hell over the 150-ish years of semi-organized football, how many hundreds of not thousands of times has the "better" team not won?

There's a reason Ohio State was 6 point dog against UGA. There's a reason they were a 3 point favorite at Oregon.

Sure thing bro.

Please continue with the character assassination then. As I've said, it's on point for the "fan"base.

 

[Onebuckfan]

Oregon was the better team SATURDAY night, Gabriel was the better QB SATURDAY NIGHT, and Lanning was the better coach SATURDAY NIGHT. Days record against good teams had nothing to do with the loss.

"Character assassination" please. I'm sorry that pointing out Ryan Day's failures bothers you, but you (and everyone else) should be uncomfortable with what continues happening in these games, particularly at the end. He is consistently failing his team in the biggest moments of the biggest games. Maybe you are content being a rich man's Penn State, but others want and expect more - and they should.

But please keep telling more about Vegas odds as if that has a goddamn thing to do with what happened during a game and how we should evaluate the performance of a player or coach. You think Vegas odds show up in their game grades? You think Vegas odds show up in coaches' performance reports?

I genuinely cannot believe such a take even exists. My God.

 

[ORD_Buckeye]

New Rule: Anyone who is holding Day's 3 losses to tcun against him will need to stfu when the sanctions come down because clearly the cheating didn't matter. You don't get to take a victory lap with the rest of the gang.
