I was just 6 years old but I distinctly remember watching that Tennessee / Miss State game with my Dad pulling hard for Tennessee to lose.

One of my earliest football watching memories, actually. The others were my Dad raging during The Game nearly every year :sad:

You have no idea of how "should of" that year should have been if you weren't of age yet. That team was the most compete, experienced and talented since probably the prime Woody years. There were no weaknesses on paper, except at head coach.

Fucking Cooper

I get a knot in my stomach thinking about it all these years later. '98 MSU was the most devastating loss I have ever experienced as a fan.

That team was so good that he couldn't even Cooper the end of the season. I believe* that was his only time winning the final two games of the year.

*Scratch that - it was. Wasn't so hard to look up the only other time he beat Michigan in 94 and that was year we lost to Bama in the Citrus.

Easily the toughest loss in my lifetime. I was only 10 years old but remember it vividly. People throw around the term coaching negligence and Cooper wrote the manual on it in that game.

After the game, we met with family for dinner at some local joint. My dad and I spoke zero words and ate in silence. We just nodded and ate chicken while my mom apologized for our behavior. My mom was so mad at us and we just didn't care. When things go well for us, I have to remind myself that I've earned the right to enjoy it due to that very game. And I remember that my mom should be a verified saint putting up with us on certain Saturdays in the 90s.

Enough of that shit though, let's go win a Natty.

Sadly, I didn't need to look that up.

I was in 7th grade. So once we were ran off the field by Penn State, I don't know how much I followed rest of that season other than the Game. The 95 and 96 teams were when my scar tissue really started to form. I'm going to go cry now.

I was a 16 year old kid and in the beginnings of the full bloom of youth and fandom when earl Bruce won The Game in 1987.

I was a 30 year old father when Jim Tressel went up north and won The Game 2001.

I saw all of two wins vs tsun in the meantime.

So when people act like it's no big deal, fuck them.

I know I'm putting the cart way before the horse here, and OSU has a big game to play this week. But if Day and company somehow can put it all together and get it done this game and in a potential title game, he would be the 3rd straight head coach to win a national championship at Ohio State (I don't count Fickell, he was always going to be an interm/stop gap solution for 1 year). Has that ever happened in the history of College Football?

Just off the top of my head, Saban/Miles/Orgeron did that in 2003/2007/2019.

It has NOT been done at Bama, Oklahoma, ND, Texas, Nebraska, or USC. tCun claims titles with 3 straight coaches in the ‘30s and ‘40s, but at least one of those is bogus.

Cryami did it with Schnellenberger/Jimmie Johnson/Dennis Erickson in the ‘80s.

I don’t think I need to check any other programs in the poll era.
