This just shows how serious the coaching staff takes the rivalry. What a joke.
December 21st, 2020 at 1:54 PM ^
at least he didn't mention the school down south by name....
December 21st, 2020 at 1:54 PM ^
Making an out for next year’s loss.
December 21st, 2020 at 1:57 PM ^
Meanwhile, on the OSU blog, they are trying to make something out of Buckeye team members now following Josh Gattis.
December 21st, 2020 at 1:59 PM ^
Sounds like some transfer portal pickups to me
December 21st, 2020 at 1:59 PM ^
Boo fucking hoo. I don't want to hear the sob story for OSU or anyone else in the conference. So sorry you had to play with some precautions to keep people safe.
December 21st, 2020 at 2:00 PM ^
He's right and this is a class move.
December 21st, 2020 at 2:06 PM ^
Your post history wreaks of OSU fanboy troll playing like a Michigan fan. Nowhere is there a Michigan fan that finds a way to defend or build up the Buckeyes as consistently as you.
December 21st, 2020 at 4:19 PM ^
I defended the Buckeyes? When?
If you think hating Dabo is defending the Buckeyes, you are not watching enough Clemson football. The act is just old.
Also, making everything about OSU 24/7 is getting tired. People get bashed for making dumb posts but the truth is that it's hard to make good ones when you are expected to blame OSU and MSU for everything or you are down-voted into hell. Let's be honest, all anyone wants to do here is shit on OSU/MSU. This place has become a vacuum of hive-mind and if you don't go a long, you get trashed. Even the good posts turn into an OSU 'bag men' session eventually.
Jesus, you can't say anything without a thread being hijacked and turning into a bitch-fest about OSU. They are one team. They aren't the problem. Let it go!
As for the playoff, Warren fucked up and everyone knows it. I just think it's dumb to make the entire conference look stupid so OSU can't play. That does nobody any good.
I apologize if using a bit of reason is seen as 'defending the Buckeyes' to you.
December 21st, 2020 at 4:38 PM ^
"Fuck the buckeyes"
That's all you had to type to redeem yourself.
December 21st, 2020 at 4:47 PM ^
Here and over at 11W. Less than a month on the board and he has no less than a dozen posts about OSU himself. Douche.
December 21st, 2020 at 2:02 PM ^
Man this regime needs to go. This may or may not be actually pandering but it optically looks like a weak move. To say no one has had to endure more is disingenuous at best. That's not something you can quantify so it just smells slappie, OSU slappie. Then he follows it up with calling the Michigan fanbase that says it's shit selfish. Fuck off.
December 21st, 2020 at 2:11 PM ^
Nobody:
Gattis: You leave them Buckeyes alone!!
Giant STFU to Gattis.
December 21st, 2020 at 2:04 PM ^
Nope, not a fan of this at all. It's weird. It's also unnecessary since OSU is already in the playoffs, and whether fans like it or not that isn't going to change. Is he going to tweet to defend them if/when they get clobbered by Clemson? Let those bums defend themselves.
December 21st, 2020 at 2:06 PM ^
Uh no. I hope Clemson goes ham and beats OSU like a rented mule.
Just because Gattis thinks a thing, doesn't mean he should say that thing.
December 21st, 2020 at 2:09 PM ^
I hate this playoff. Hats off to the teams who made it, but I detest Ohio State and ND both, and I am sick of Alabama and Clemson in the playoffs. I have literally no one I care to see win this thing. It sort of takes away any enjoyment of watching when you are rooting against all the participants.
December 21st, 2020 at 2:09 PM ^
Josh Gattis needs to stop licking OSU's ass and concentrate on coaching up his overrated " Speed in Space " offense
Gattis is a BUM!
December 21st, 2020 at 2:11 PM ^
I actually think OSU wins this game but a small margin, then gets rolled by bama
December 21st, 2020 at 3:04 PM ^
Clemson owns OSU like they own us. It's in their head. It's the one team they don't get any breaks against and their tiny brains can't figure out why
December 21st, 2020 at 2:14 PM ^
-1 for "THE". Not part of the name, why would you ever give them that credit? I don't get Michigan fans that give them the 'T'. It's just an asinine thing to credit them with...
December 21st, 2020 at 2:17 PM ^
Dude, really? It couldn't possibly be that I was mocking Gattis for going on social media and propping up our rival?
December 21st, 2020 at 2:23 PM ^
Awww... I'll cop to my hatred of that practice from UM fans for blinding my view of your sarcasm. I will reinstate the MGoPoint I took, and offer my apology.
Just don't ever let me see you using the word 'cause' as a short form of because. That neg will stay!
December 21st, 2020 at 3:05 PM ^
LMAO. To be fair I have seen Michigan fans do this unironically so I can understand the confusion. All is forgiven.
December 21st, 2020 at 2:17 PM ^
Now the coward has deleted. He must really feel strongly about it. Except maybe not or he isn't up for getting heat. Sad either way.
December 21st, 2020 at 2:52 PM ^
I don’t have a Twitter. Did he really?!
Now that looks worse. Ugh can’t even coach right in the off season
December 21st, 2020 at 3:01 PM ^
Yes. His site said the tweets were deleted then he took down his twitter from non followers too. I don't follow him directly. I went to his site a minute ago again and it is fully unlocked now and the tweets are gone.
December 21st, 2020 at 2:19 PM ^
We must really be out of things to talk about if this is getting people all upset. A giant nothingburger.
Bring on December 25, basketball will save our collective sanity.
December 21st, 2020 at 2:24 PM ^
The fact that Gattis is tweeting this means only one thing: he's joining OSU's coaching staff.
December 21st, 2020 at 2:27 PM ^
It’s one thing to say this when asked at a press conference to avoid locker room material. It is a whole other matter to voluntarily tweet praise of our arch rival. MSU and OSU coaches would never do that for us.
December 21st, 2020 at 3:44 PM ^
Looks like somebody agrees with you, Toby.
December 21st, 2020 at 2:28 PM ^
Shut up and get back to work, Josh.
December 21st, 2020 at 2:28 PM ^
I have decided that I do not like Josh Gattis.
December 21st, 2020 at 2:35 PM ^
Someone will undoubtedly expound on the consequences for the Big Ten as a whole if OSU is yet again destroyed in the CFP. They may discuss our standing and image in the conference, that we might be seen as a collection of also-rans at best, and the like.
I just want OSU to get destroyed, that's all.
December 21st, 2020 at 4:25 PM ^
I'll add extirpated, vanquished, annihilated, crushed, obliterated, slaughtered, exterminated, decimated, liquidated, laid waste to and razed, resulting in extreme humiliation.
Fuck them.
December 21st, 2020 at 2:54 PM ^
They'll likely get wrecked but this is the right take and also a strategic one; the Big 10 needs to be taken seriously nationally and the attempts by the SEC and, well, Clemson to undermine that credibility should be defended against.
December 21st, 2020 at 3:08 PM ^
Conference reputation means nothing in the modern day. OSU received no respect this year because they played literally 6 games, looked average in half of them, and their best win is Indiana at home. It's valid to ask why that's a playoff resume. In a normal year, they have 13 wins, and a handful of them are against ranked teams. They're getting in this year based on reputation alone. Conference prestige is a myth made up by lower tier power five schools to explain why nobody wants to watch their shitty team play. OSU and Michigan could play in the Mac and would still make the playoffs if they went undefeated, just like ND does when they win out
December 21st, 2020 at 4:25 PM ^
Well they are also getting in case the teams behind them have flimsy ass resumes as well.
December 21st, 2020 at 3:12 PM ^
Great. Awesome. Guess what?
No OSU coach would EVER say the same thing if roles were reversed. You can say how Harbaugh played in the game and blah blah blah but this is just more proof that the entire program doesn't take the rivalry as seriously.
Makes me want to puke.
December 21st, 2020 at 3:51 PM ^
I’m not certain that an OSU coach would never say something like this. There’s actually a fair amount of respect between the two programs despite the rivalry.
Now Sparty, they would not. But that’s because they are Sparty. That’s not something for us to emulate.
December 21st, 2020 at 4:56 PM ^
You think Ryan "We'll hang 100 on you" Day or anyone on his staff would say something like this? Not a chance.
December 21st, 2020 at 3:12 PM ^
Read between the lines... this is less about OSU endorsement and more about the excuse of how hard the Big Ten was this year due to COVID and the reason M put out repeated piles of shit.
December 21st, 2020 at 3:38 PM ^
Exactly. Thinly veiled passive aggression toward Big Ten admin, along with a healthy dose of sour grapes for teams in other conferences.
December 21st, 2020 at 3:15 PM ^
Hating them hasn’t helped us any. This isn’t a big deal. We are never going to hate them as much as they hate us — their fan base is much more tribal than ours.
December 21st, 2020 at 4:27 PM ^
Pass me a spear. I'm good with the hate for them.
December 21st, 2020 at 3:17 PM ^
He's not doing this right.
December 21st, 2020 at 3:24 PM ^
LOUD NOISES!!
but seriously bad look Gattis
December 21st, 2020 at 3:41 PM ^
The hell
December 21st, 2020 at 3:53 PM ^
Don’t care. Being petty in public would just earn us more criticism, especially when you have a public narrative that we tried to sabotage their chances.
December 21st, 2020 at 4:27 PM ^
Not saying anything can't be construed as petty.
December 21st, 2020 at 3:54 PM ^
SO FREAKING WHAT!!!! Let the man have conference pride. The SEC does it every year. They root for each other as long as the SEC wins it all.
