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

[Jake]

Stop trying to blame 1 player or 1 unit for this loss. Or a particular coach. There were issues all around.

Absolutely true, but scapegoating is easy and fun. That's why it's so popular. This loss was a team effort, players and coaches.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Call me crazy but I give Day a puncher’s chane at matching Tressel’s one NC in 10 years.

Sometimes I think we lose sight of how good that success rate is

How about we set the bar a little lower for him and say win The Game twice in 10 years?

Holy shit. Thanks man. I need a good belly laugh.

 

[1926Buckeyes]

Meyer and Tressel have counterweights to their negatives.

What has Day won again?

I agree with that. I'm not saying he's better or the same, but I do think Tress and Urban had similar issues. Day has a lot to prove and I don't blame anyone thinking he's never getting over the hump. I just don't see a good alternative.

 

[buckeyebri]

Again, it's 1 2 throw. Marv cannot let a defender cross his face.

Yes the scUM kid made a play. But Marv barely fought for the ball.

Yes, very disappointing for the top WR in the draft

 

[Oregonbuck]

Not calling for anyone's head. Would love to see more passion for this rivalry from coaches and players. It's hard to win The Game if you don't grasp the magnitude of it. One team played with fire and emotion today. The other team played a football game.

 

[Gothmog8]

It's pretty interesting that tunc figured that Knowles weakness was covering TE's.

Yeah I will give up that on the D. A bunch of really poor tackles and the inability to stop the TE down the middle. Like, I don't think they ever did. I mean how can you not expect the other team to Stover after it worked more than 5x?

 

[sammyjenkis]

Um Wut? Even if that could have ever possibly been a thing, this fan base would have melted like butter in a kiln at bringing in a coach whose only HC experience at the time was underachieving in Cleveland.

Was joking. And today Coach B wouldn't have the patience to deal with college kids.

Sorry, missed the sarcasm font. Fuck, I can’t even see straight. Mea culpa

I'll give you the "not having a good alternative" bit as shocking as that may be to some but it isn't a reason to swallow what Gene is selling.

I don't have to be a pilot to tell you a flight sucked.

Day ain't the guy

 

[buckeyebri]

Definitely not the guy who threw them, you’re right.

Again, Marv quit on his route on the first pick. As Mike said that’s a 1-2 and throw. McCord got hit as he was throwing the ball so let’s say that was on th Oline if that makes it better for you, but yeah Marvin did nothing to attempt to stop that pick.

 

[Honor&Glory]

Holy shit. Thanks man. I need a good belly laugh.

Why are so many so eager to forget the Cooper years??? These kids are so fucking spoiled it’s sickening.

 

[Captain Buckeye]

The Cooper comparison. I don't think it is that simple. I disagree with Day's belief that you must totally keep emotion out of the game. I think it must be brought into the game in moderation. Getting a bit pissed off can help you in a football game.

If he loses next year, then I think the Bucks need to revisit the caseof John Cooper.

McCord looks very tightly wound back there. Too rushed. Too immobile. Too frightened. I would let the room know that the job will be open to other competitors.

Yes..

Too Immobile and too freighted is the key.

Seriously if our QBs aren’t dual threat? Find someone else.

That’s what’s changed since 2020.

With Justin he was a threat and with no one else they have done that

Day ain't the guy

Yeah I get that. Until Day wins there's no good counter-argument.

I mostly agree. It was 75% McCord the 1st, and a lot on the Oline on the 2nd.

No easy answers I'm afraid the worst part is that the questions will only be answered in 365 days........
