He didn’t like recruiting when he was here the first time. What makes anyone think that would change now?

We created this game thread for a reason, so that people like you could say all sorts of nasty things about the team that you allegedly root for. There were very few things that you could have said in this thread that would get you banned. Unfortunately for you, calling us "fragile bitches" was one of those things. See you in three days if you'd care to come back. If not, we're not exactly going to miss you.

I live in SC. I would rather see the Gamecocks in the playoffs than this team I watched today! SC would hammer this team. Just calling it like I see it. Until we stop spending the NIL money on receivers and QBs, and start spending on the line, I don’t care if this team wins another game. Give me 22 guys from Ohio when we play TTUN. Tressel and Meyer knew how to get the job done. Day is another Cooper!!!

Wow some strong words from the ABC team about us getting punked in the Shoe and us being sore losers.

Wrong glass, Sir.
Unless big time boosters step up, and most of ours aren't football donors, money is kind of an issue. We have revenue sharing coming up along with Carter's pledge to continue to keep all 36 sports with their scholarships intact. We're not strapped, but we're not going out and paying 15M for a coach and 5M for coordinators.
The one realistic can't miss option out there is Lanning if Uncle Phil kacks out.

The thing is both Bjork and Carter are terrible people to have in place for a coaching change.

The end of the Ryan Day era will unmask several issues inherent with the current environment at Ohio State. It has been a creeping thing since the end of the Urban era, really.
The environment is too corporate. So long as it's going well, everything is great. When that first real bump hits, when the talent level alone can't carry the day, it gets rocky to the point of not being able to settle down and just play. Expectations are one thing but it's deeper than that.
Tressel teams had that fire in them but it was business as usual on gameday. Urban's teams did and they never ever talked about how they had it. Maybe they would end up losing, but the fight was always there except in certain cases.
Day's teams talk about it, but you only see it in spurts. It's like the focus is always on "toughness" and "passion" and "fire" to the point where they don't develop the actual acuity for those things - that they just show up when you need them. That's not how it works. Ever. You either have it or you don't.
This team doesn't. Really the end of the Urban era didn't have all that fire part either but they were so talented and tough it, it carried them through for the most part. They would have some of those odd, flat, nothing works type games.
Day hasn't had those games for the most part, and if his team did, like say, nebraska, they still found a way to win it. Until today. In a game that you shouldn't be flat or not having things that don't work. They didn't find a way to win the game, they found ways to lose it.
It was his first loss to an unranked team. That shows two things: Remarkable consistency and remarkable consistency.
Remarkable consistency in that his teams are always able to bring enough to the table to beat all of the clearly inferior teams, usually handily and without much fanfare.
Remarkable consistency in that his teams are always good enough (usually) to hang with anyone on the field, but they always lack that extra push at the end of to get the job done.
Today is just a microcosm of an environment (I think it exists in the basketball program too to a certain extent) where, in the end, it lacks any type of edge. Killer instinct. Whatever you want to call it - this group lacks it.
And Booger McFarland can go fuck himself.

Head Coach
Heart breaks for the seniors. Especially on defense. They gave it their all. It wasn't a question of effort. Just a fucked up vibe and mental block after the last 3 years.
I really like Day. Great guy, great coach. He's someone you want recruiting and running a program. Unfortunately I don't think anything less than a total reset is going to fix whatever is fucked mentally with him and the team.

Wrong glass, Sir.
To me, Michigan has NEVER mattered more than it has after Harbaugh and cheating and Ono and Mullings. I have never hated them more.
I was kind of take the Bucks or leave them in college. I lived overseas in the 90s, and didn't really get wrapped up in the Cooper years. I returned to Columbus for a couple of years and then Chicago for the last 20 Those years made it easy to take The Game casually. Right now, it's never meant more and I've never hated them more.
