I can appreciate a bias for the known over the unknown, there is a false dichotomy here on this topic. I didn't know who Tressel was or who Herman or Day were, or who Hafley or Dantonio were. But I know what Day is as the CEO of the program. Our goals are not to beat Indiana and Rutgers.
I'm getting neg'd but that just tells me you didn't see Moore's presser.. listen to him talk about being aggressive is for the kids, he is paid to be aggressive & how being conservative in games like this cheats them working their ass off all year for this game.
You don't want that?
Not being serious that I want THAT guy, but, something that sounds and coaches like him. I'd take a General like Tressel or a Swamp King like Urban, but give me someone who wants to make the grass grow with blood against scUM.
This is nuts to pin it on one player.
It's definitely Day. You know, the guy whose in charge of hiring the coaches and targeting the players we recruit and coming up with/hiring the guys who come up with the game plan.
Yes. It's very sad to see. And I actually agree with them - they do WANT it more.
Barton mentioned how the Cleveland boys and the Santino Holmes would have cleaned up that mess with Tress. I believe that too. Those were some dawgs. We are pussy right now.
So you think we have no talent that the next 2 to 3 years are no chance to win it all? Or am I misreading that? I don't agree with this world view.
You had me until the last line. That's a bridge too far.
You think Day is the guy to string together 3 or 4 wins in a row to win a playoff series? scUM and The Game no longer matter the way they did, the TV Networks have made sure of it and this was the last version of The Game as we know it. We could have righted every wrong by just playing to our own abilities and strengths. BITTERLY DISAPPOINTED. I know the hardcore's will cringe but this is the truth, case in point: next year, we would have a rematch with them. Great job Ryan Day. Buck stops with him.. you can blame Knowles (who hired him?) you can blame McCord (a kid, who is coached by who at his position and plays are coordinated by who?) you can blame Stallions (a schizotard who will burn the program down he loved so much) but the buck stops at Ryan Day.
It does seem to be different when you're not born into it. I don't know why, but, the coaches even talk about having to teach the national recruits about The Game. If Days QB is saying "just another game" my guess is he hasnt been told by Day that it's more than just a game here in Ohio. Unfortunately thanks to Day sucking in these big games I do have to question if he "gets it". I wanted to believe.
So long Woody, goodbye Woody
