Man that's a close family.

And I have to say I think Herbstreit did a huge disservice to by calling people who wanted him fired the lunatic fringe.

The more and more we hear come out. The lunatic fringe is people telling his wife he should kill himself. People telling his kids their dad and should leave Columbus. People threatening his family. I realize some of us here ran with it in good fun. But that shit is the shit that is uncalled for and deserves to be shouted down and prosecuted when it warrants it.

If that defines the lunatic fringe, then a much larger group of people were convinced it was time for him to leave after the TCUN game. That team sat him down and sorted him out. He didn't rise to the "be a tough guy" challenge again. He played to his strengths.

What many of us wanted was for Ryan Day to become the best head coach that he could be. This NC has given him the freedom and confidence to do that. And the good news is that he can potentially become exponentially better. When you look at what he delivered in this final run, then you can't help but be impressed by the change.

I am excited to see him and his team go into Ann Arbor and wreck them.

Ryan Day Awards Himself the Season’s Final Brick in Video Recapping Foundation-Laying 2024 Tradition for Buckeyes​

"And the rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew and beat against the house. Yet it did not fall because it had a foundation on the rock."
Regardless of what one believes, for a team with so many Christians, it's fitting that Ryan Day chose one of Jesus' parables in the Bible to emphasize his team's foundation and practice habits throughout the year. The above quote is from Day in a new video released by Ohio State on Wednesday, recapping his team's brick-laying practice tradition in 2024 and how it paid off with a national championship. It's a near-verbatim reference to Matthew 7:24-27, a parable about two men, one who built his house on sand and one who built it on rock.

The video starts by taking viewers back to Aug. 2, when Day first introduced the brick-by-brick concept to his team. Starting in preseason camp, after each practice, a Buckeye was awarded a brick to lay neatly in their growing well-formed pile of them constantly left outside to brave the elements in the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.
"How do you build the house? First thing is, you have to work in the offseason," Day said. "The summer. The spring, right? You've got to work in the winter. The big games are coming and the big storms are coming. So we've got to build this foundation."
Storms certainly swept in for the 2024 Buckeyes, who lost to Oregon and Michigan before going on the greatest College Football Playoff run ever in the first 12-team playoff. There were storms in those four CFP games, too. But after Ohio State claimed college football's ultimate crown, Day was able to reflect with his team on the payoff of all the bricks they laid.
"We said along the way we were going to build a foundation," Day told his team in the locker room after the title win. "And every single brick that was put in had to withstand a storm along the way. We didn't know what storms they were going to be. But we had to withstand storms. And the only reason that we were able to withstand the storms that came is because of the foundation, the people in this room right here."
Day then pulled out one last brick, painted gold unlike the others.
"Guess who gets this brick," Day asked his team, then shouted, "Me."
Everyone cheered.

This!
I think the entire fan base, including the “lunatic fringe” actually liked Day as a man, and I’d say even more so than Urban. Problem is, many took him to be too nice and wanting to be accepted by the fan base instead of just going out and being the coach he was hired to be and playing to his creative strengths, but also bringing out the no nonsense leader side of him. that 4th loss to scUM, imo gave him a “let your balls hang” mentality as it’s called where I’m from. Meaning, you stop caring about outsiders and do what got you to your position. Im praying that he realizes that next year in the last Saturday in November. Because the current version of Day beats scUM by 4TDs easily this year and probably wins by at least 2 next season if the team looks like how many of us expect. Cut the mental tough guy routine, remember that you have one of the best young QBs in the country throwing to #4(as well as 17 and 11), and one of the most talented defenses in the country.
