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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

-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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
