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

[BuckeyesGunn]

I think what happened is apparently this:

We don't have a Stroud, Fields, or Haskins.

We do have a defense they never had.

Things have flipped. Perhaps we will get another QB like we had in the recent past.

Anyone considered that covid and the skip year created some kind of "Man in the High Castle" version of reality where the Nazis won, except in this case it's that FB team and now everything is backwards?

That fucking balanced broom opened the door and the goddamn dress opened the dimension....

 

[Jaxbuck]

I also find it interesting, given everything, how we, as a fanbase, used to make fun of the "Michigan Man" mantra around the time of Brady Fat Boy Hoke, that here we are talking about "Ohio men" as the only ones that "fit the mold"....

Do carry on.....it's, interesting....

nearly as interesting is to compare the DFBIA defending their optimism in Rich Rod to current defense of Day.

Seems remarkably similar to my untrained eye.

 

[BuckeyesGunn]

I don't want Day fired. I do however want him to OWN tunc. Right now THEY own HIM.

and I want to own Alba's snatch.

How many times do we fail before we wake the fuck up to reality?

Next year doesn't matter, at least not for The Game. Even if the NCAA does nothing, they're pretty much losing their whole damn team. They'll come in to The Game with 3-5 losses. Day could hang 50 on them and it won't mean anything. This was his shot. Be blew it. Football is a hard sport.

Wait a minute Day beats TCUN and it won’t mean anything? If that’s the case then why the F are people wanting him gone if it won’t mean anything

Let's set easy bar's for the disabled kids to jump.

Half the board would hurt their neck sucking their own dicks next year if Day beat 85 high school kids.

Because the coaching records are totally comparable....not to mention the culture shifts...right.

I realize you're a Day hater so to forestall saying anything I'll regret, we aren't going to agree.

Before the new format

You're right. We aren't there yet.

But just one more loss and he ties Coopers consecutive losses against Michigan!

So we are way fucking closer than we should be.

If he loses next year, I’m right here with everyone with pitchforks calling for Days job. But, that’s more based off of sentiment/emotion than reality. Honestly with the new format, I just want deep runs into the playoffs/NCs. I would love to beat Michigan every year and it doesn’t feel right winning it all unless we do. But this is the last edition of “the game” in the sense that’s its the end all. Yall do realize we could literally play them three times next year (and the foreseeable future) regardless of we win this weekend lol? We just need to win when it matters. Hell, we might still get in this year…

It's getting really annoying the last decade how that is working out. 2019 is the year we had both every other year it's been one or the other

It'll always mean something for the program. For Day as a coach, it's going to take a lot more than winning once against a heavily depleted Michigan team to say he's more than Cooper 2.0

 

[osubartender23]

This.

People don't understand what could happen.

Exactly. I’ve asked a number of people who they would hire if Day was out. No ones been able to give a name that would be equal or better.

 

[Captain Buckeye]

My grandmother.

Go ahead and tell me how unqualified she is like you would with any other name I put in here like it would matter to the task at hand.

Day isn't good enough folks. Time to man up and deal with it.

Yeah I just don’t know what to make of Day…

He’s winning 11 games a year but is losing the last 2 game’s basically every year which happen to be our most important 2.

It’s a mental block at this point. Luckily Michigan loses half their roster (literally) and they’re going to more than likely get drilled with sanctions this off season too.

It’ll be those things that eventually give us the edge next year. We all knew this year was a long shot but the fact we came so close doesn’t make it feel any better.

In the snatch scenario? Endless amount of times

 

[bigdog3300]

Lanning, DeBoer, Elko, Klieman, Leipold, Fickell, Whittingham.

None of those are more insane than doing the same shit all over again and expecting an entirely different result.

I know some people are in a different head space, but if you think any of those outside of Lanning, and maybe, maaaaaybe Whittingham, are better than Day you need to take a deep breath and re-evaluate. I see a lot of flavors of the month in there, some real solid coaches, but lowered expectations have a way changing perspectives.
