Really can't say it much better. I've been constantly on the record of saying Day is my guy, but he can't keep losing The Game. I do not take back anything I said regarding that, but the criticism was the farthest thing from personal...it was strictly a matter of fact that you cannot lose 4 in a row to tcun, especially this year.
With that out of the way, there are so many parts of this title run that are going to be a chapter of this season. But genuinely, I cannot describe the joy I felt for Coach Day once the final seconds ticked. Nobody can deny how much he cares about his players and the program. The title trophy is for the players, the coaches and the fans...but as someone that has suffered defeat and fought back to redemption, this entire game made me happy to see Day just be himself. In game management and demeanor.
I said after The Game that if Day didn't win a Natty, then I don't want him back. Only because of The Game results, so deep down I was rooting for him to win the Natty because I want him here. There is no question that he is staying unless he wants to leave on his own accord.
Not going to even comment on that for now, let's give the huge congrats to Day that he deserves for regrouping this team and leading them to the title in the first expanded playoffs. Not an all caps guy but I will be here....FUCK YES RYAN DAY. Way to prove everyone (myself included) wrong. We've got the monkey off the back, let's go back to work after a well deserved enjoyment of a national title.
