Ryan Day on 97.1 The Fan says the loss to Texas is "behind us now."
"The question is, 'Are we going to learn from it and grow from it?' Some things got exposed, just in all areas, and so we're going to do a great job identifying those and get it fixed."
One of the defining traits of the Day era teams imo has been the lack of edge. Swagless NFL incubator teams afraid to play with passion or show emotion. Execution, discipline and predictability over everything.
The one notable exception of a guy who said fuck it? Iggy - who happened to coincide with Day’s natty and first win over scUM since 2019.
Everything from that game can be summed up with old saying “players win games, coaches lose them”
Unfortunately I don’t think our coach has ever heard it
@teepeefive Sick bookmark. Yeah I was there. After the first two games you and I probably share the same views on who should be getting the snaps at LB.
That said what do you make of this:
I understand that a college football program can't and won't win every game, but that's the expectation at Ohio State. That standard of excellence is what makes the Buckeyes the best program in the country over the last 50 years, and I'm not going to temper those expectations because college football has changed its postseason format in recent years. The sky should be falling with every loss, and anyone who doesn't want that pressure shouldn't coach or play in Columbus.
Ryan Day I beg you to learn from your mistakes last season. Do not let another weak link on the OL fester. All we’ve heard all offseason is how much depth this OL has. How much versatility they have to move guys around. So fucking be decisive and make the change we can all plainly see needs to be made.
Asked about Philip Daniels’ rough first half last week, Austin Siereveld cited nerves and jitters and said he told Daniels they have to get on the same page.
@UTFootballEdits I’d be so embarrassed to remind everyone my program got beat TWICE by a team that didn’t even need its best player. Yet here you are lmao 🤣
@dirtyd1919@TedBuckeye1 After the game every sporting goods store in Columbus had App State shirts stocked within days. Couldn’t keep them on the shelves!
College football feels dead inside because it veered off the Widespread Panic / Allman Brothers cultural spectrum. It went from being big-hearted and brash to being completely Morgan Wallen-ified. It needs less WWE and a little more Billy Strings in its soul to find itself again.
