And for those who may have forgotten, the week of The Game Senior starting QB Steve Belasari got picked up for OMVI.

JT started an untested sophomore named Krenzel to deliver on his "promise".

I was just a young kid then, but when I saw that I knew we were in good hands. Still gives me goosebumps

Was going to use those exact words, still gives me goosebumps. I watched that live and I think I was in 5th or 6th grade when JT gave that speech. I was smart enough to know I was glad we got rid of Cooper but didn't know much about JT (like most I imagine). When I heard that speech, I knew we had a great one in Columbus and he totally brought this rivalry back to what it should be.

Funny thing is I used to be on a kid's TV show in Ohio and I got to interview JT the year after we won the NCG against Miami. In the weight room, there is a countdown clock showing "Days until we beat *ichigan". I finished the interview asking him how many days until we beat *ichigan and he was off by one day. I corrected him after the interview and he made us bring all the cameras back in to reshoot that and made me swear secrecy. I guess JT will have a hit out for me but it was pretty awesome :lol: Cool thing was that he didn't even have it on his schedule and I was camping at OSU for the football camp when we did the interview. He still dropped everything he was doing to do the interview for a teenage kid. JT was the freaking man.

Anyways, got off track. Fuck *ichigan and every last thing about it. Ann Arbor is a whore that I can't wait to deflower, it never gets old.

You have to ask what Day's been smoking? A bowl full of this:

Humbled to be in front of you again. I’ve been part of this rivalry since I was this big [holds hand up to waist]. So I get really upset when I see people come into the program and they don’t appreciate it, they don’t respect it, and, uh, that bothers me.

And I can speak on behalf of you guys who have been here. I cannot speak on behalf of you guys in the back because you don’t yet. Some of you know a little bit about it. But this is a rivalry that in the 10-Year War, there was guy named Bo Schembechler who was the coach at the Team Up North, he’s actually from Ohio. And then a guy named Woody Hayes, and he was the coach here.

And I lived that rivalry in 1986-87 when I was a coach here and I lived this rivalry away coaching in other places. Came back here and, and I’ve been at USC vs. Notre Dame, Florida vs. Georgia, Florida vs. Florida State, and all due respect to all of them out there - that ain’t anything like this.

So it really bothered me when I heard a player for the other team come out and guarantee wins, and Revenge Tours, and shit like that, and I remember those days and my head almost popped off my shoulders. That’s disrespecting the rivalry. And I think - everyone listen real close, this is in our DNA, this will never change: How do you really show respect for a rivalry?

Think about it. Very simple question, complicated answer. How do you show respect for a rivalry?

Is it a tee shirt, is it uh - some guy, that Kamara (Ed. Meyer likely meant Michigan running back Karan Higdon, not Saints running back Alvin Kamara) that asshole that said they were going to win the game and said “I guarantee it” or that defensive end, really good player, Revenge Tour Almost Done so he’s going to group us with Wisconsin or Penn State or something like that?

How do you really show respect for a rivalry? And all due respect, maybe some up there don’t understand that. You work that shit every day. Every day. You walk in that staff room - this is for the new coaches, you know who they recruit. You know what they’re doing every day. What I ask Mark Pantoni - who are they recruiting? Who are they going after? What is their practice schedule? What are they doing? Are we outworking them?

So I’ll say this again. How do you respect a rivalry? You work it every day. You don’t shoot your mouth off. If I ever hear, whatever’s going on, I hear a player take a shot verbally at them - that’s a problem. How do you show respect for a rivalry? You work it every shit day. Not by tee shirts. Not by bullshit.

When I see people giggle about how we don’t wear blue in here - I don’t laugh about that. We don’t have blue pens in here. That’s not funny. This is Nike vs. Adidas, this is Coke vs. Pepsi, this is Ohio State vs the Team Up North. This is our livelihood.

So if you're new to the program - welcome to the program. Understand where you’re at. This is not a game. This is not silly. This is a way of life. There’s a bunch of former players in the back [of the room] that lived it. As you move up, you live it. This is who you are.

You never lose to those pricks. Ever. Ever. And you work it every day. And I don’t give a shit if you’re from California or Texas or whatever, as soon as you say you’re a Buckeye this is part of your life for the rest of your life - and you don’t lose to those pricks. You beat them every day. Every day.

This will always be a player’s program. What you guys did in that game, to put a beating on that team like they’ve never had a beating before in the history of that program - very good program, by the way - you notice how we talk about them, right? Is that a good program up there? Great program. Good players up there? Great players. Great coaches? Great coaches.

That’s the way you respect a rivalry. Then you outwork them and then you kick that ass like it’s never been kicked before. And that’s what you did.

Meet JT at the Colerain Booster Stag a month after the Fiesta Bowl vs. Florida. Urban Meyer’s dad was there. had a great conversation with him. Was telling him about my best man in my wedding and his wife who was suffering from seizures and could not be there. I got him on the phone and JT talked to him for 5 minutes. just an incredible human being. the man genuinely cares about people. except scUMers. Fuck *ichigan
