THE GAME, tOSU at tCun, Sat. 11/25, 12pm ET, FOX

Hardly. He put balls absolutely where they needed to be.

No one is saying he was perfect.

But he was capable of winning this game with his arm and nearly did so until the very end. There are FAR bigger issues than McCord.

We can agree to disagree

I'm hoping three straight losses to this team causes Day to consider change.

He can't blame this one on Stalions. I don't want him gone, but I think he's officially on the hot seat for next year and a lot of things within the entire program need to thoroughly be reevaluated.

Two bullies in a street fight!

Helluva ballgame.

Yes it was. A few close calls that could have gone either way; however, I actually thought we had a chance at the end, etc. The last INT was a killer though. We're 11-1 and we'll get a NY6 Bowl Game which would normally be a pretty good year if we had beaten scUM; but we didn't.

All of you defending Day and MidCord clearly were not around for the Cooper years. Period. I can see this as clear as the sky. This isn’t it. Knowles and Day have to got or another 2-10-1 is on the horizon. If you want that you all can go get fucked.

I was around for the end of Bruce and all of Cooper. I have seen much worse gaming then I saw this year by far.

Wanting to get rid of Knowles is so incredibly knee jerk. Take a look around the current state of CFB....there are very, very, very few Jim Knowles out there.

 

[Bill Lucas]

Sorry I am not the biggest McCord fan, but that fist pick was on Harrison. If he keeps running its either a PI or just an incomplete pass.

I’m sad to say but I feel the same way about the last interception.

 

[dragurd]

I recall the offense going 3 and out in the 3rd quarter after falling behind by 7 points. Needed to impose some will then.

They stopped us one drive. You realize we had only 4 drives in the 2nd half?

D not stopping them once in the 2nd half, the int, and the missed field goal was the difference in this game. This was not 2 years ago where they imposed their will on both sides.

Anyone who watches that game and thinks that I'm not sure what to think

 

[lowbuck]

Not to mention scholarship reductions, recruiting effect of a post-season ban when roughly 20 other programs have playoff hopes and...oh yeah...no Connor Stalions on the sideline. Harbaugh will either run away to the NFL or have a nice long show cause. In either case, this is his last fucking season. They're dead; they just don't know it yet.

Our consolation prize is possible NCAA vacates.

 

[jakenick06]

How many years in a row are we going to try and pretend there isn't a pattern man?

You kind find reasons he loses all these big games but at the end of it all, his record against any team that can fight back is Cooper level. Maybe worse.

You’re likely right. From my perspective it seems so clear what should be done as the head coach of Ohio State to get things right and I don’t think he sees it on his own. He’s a great human being by all accounts but is just not up to the task of running such a large scale operation…..and I really wish he were.

 

[Mike80]

We can agree to disagree

But I won't because I'm tired of seeing McCord get shat on for things out of his control by people who don't know a goddamn thing.

I’m one. And even discounting the cheating, Day would have to go 0 for his next 7 to match Cooper. And, trust me, I’ll be way off the Day boat way before then.

 

[Captain Buckeye]

I'm hoping three straight losses to this team causes Day to consider change.

Seriously what change?????

Who gets fired?

Who loses their job?

We FUCKING LOST.

At home to a team that robbed us of the last few seasons.

Seriously stop fucking blaming people we LOST!

We god damn LOST.

We failed to make the plays and we LOST.

 

[Jake]

We lost two with Stroud so McCord really didn’t have a chance. WhenDay didn’t show confidence in Kyle at the end of the half ..

There was a big reason Stroud lost. That reason was eliminated and the Bucks lost anyway.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Jax, until you can give a reasonable list of alternatives, all you’re doing is pissing into the wind.

I respect ya, but until you’ve got a real alternative that you’re not going to bitch about… all you’re doing is setting yourself up to continue bitching. If that’s what makes you happy, I guess that’s fine… but man, life’s too short to put yourself in a position to be that kind of disappointed.

I hope for you, seriously. It can’t be a healthy place to live.

I didn't have a list of alternatives to Cooper either but I knew he wasn't the guy.

That argument holds zero water my man.

 

[lvbuckeye]

Our d-line recruiting is killing us.

O line recruiting isn't great either.
