'Mr. Third Base' Quantified
Ahoy folks!
If you could represent 'born on third base' graphically, what would that look like? This tweet gives us one answer:
Mr. Third Base is apparently THE most Mr. Third Base in college football.

Posted in Lookalike diary, but Ryan Day isn't happy with this tweet...or anything for that matter:
November 20th, 2023 at 5:38 PM ^
MY EYES!!!!!
November 20th, 2023 at 5:42 PM ^
Edit: I misunderstood. I thought my post/tweet was posted in a diary.
I no longer deserve every moment I have to look at the GIF.
November 20th, 2023 at 5:37 PM ^
Nice. Especially the base lines.
November 20th, 2023 at 6:09 PM ^
Was expecting a shitpost…this is incredible analysis
November 20th, 2023 at 10:30 PM ^
Not flattering to Willie Taggert
November 20th, 2023 at 5:39 PM ^
Also : Jedd Fisch is a coaching god.
November 20th, 2023 at 5:47 PM ^
I've watched 4 Arizona games this year, and they look really good. He would definitely be one of my top choices if Harbaugh ever left. He would be deadly with JJ
November 20th, 2023 at 5:57 PM ^
He lost three games by one score or less. One in over time and two to Washington and USC (iirc). Can make the playoff if Oregon loses (wont happen).
November 20th, 2023 at 5:57 PM ^
He's done an A+ job at Arizona. They are legit top 15 now.
Also Leipold, once again. Done an A+ job at every stop he's had
November 20th, 2023 at 5:59 PM ^
I was thinking Lance Leipold could wreck some shit with good talent.
November 20th, 2023 at 6:10 PM ^
I was genuinely sad when he left Michigan. Dude never played football, but dude can certainly coach football.
November 20th, 2023 at 7:27 PM ^
Brohm from the minors to the B1G CG in five years, too.
November 20th, 2023 at 5:41 PM ^
I'm pumped but nervous as shit for Saturday. My credit card and wife is going to hate me if we lose.
November 20th, 2023 at 5:46 PM ^
Did anyone else hear Bruce Feldman tell Colin Cowherd that the NCAA could suspend Jim Harbaugh for "the bulk" of the 2024 season? When is this going to end? I'm very nervous about Saturday, but I'm even angrier at Coach Third Base and the NCAA.
November 20th, 2023 at 5:50 PM ^
Definitely some bullshit, Then we'll just have to win it all. JJ comes back with Harbaugh and runs the table again next year!
November 20th, 2023 at 6:15 PM ^
I don't care if they suspend him for the whole season. We should still offer him a lifetime contract as the highest paid coach in the big ten.
November 20th, 2023 at 5:54 PM ^
You would think that Warde and the regents put their foot down if that happens but they didn't with the Pettiti thing even when the Uncle T thing sounds like it's now bullshit.
November 20th, 2023 at 6:02 PM ^
Saw Colin Cowherd today. I keep wondering, for what? For the things that are already out there? Really?
November 20th, 2023 at 6:05 PM ^
He’s been suspended 3 games for each “scandal”. What the fuck do they want. Fckin losers. This is all just a threat so Harbaugh doesn’t sign an extension, hopin he runs off to the nfl. Pathetic bitches
November 20th, 2023 at 6:17 PM ^
With the recruiting issue, the hiring of Shemy Schembechler, the failure to properly instruct or oversee the efforts of Colin Stalions and Chris Partridge ... WTF is going on in that athletic department? It's clear that someone needs to manage the non-coaching elements of the football program, so that Harbaugh can focus on the coaching without having to continue to serve suspensions for things he himself didn't do.
I'm not in the Fire Warde! camp. Indeed, I think it's quite possible he's been doing a wonderful job behind the scenes. We didn't, for instance, have victories taken from us or be declared ineligible for the postseason, even though both were at least in principle possible. And who knows — maybe that's because of Warde. Who knows? But someone has to step up and end this constant shooting of ourselves in the foot. And Warde, the buck stops with you on this. No more of this nonsense, please.
November 20th, 2023 at 6:55 PM ^
Killing time on my phone and came across this BS post. Logged in just to downvote. What a dumbass post…
November 21st, 2023 at 8:08 AM ^
A word from Jim Stapleton. Transparent.
November 20th, 2023 at 5:43 PM ^
Apparently born in Plainwell MI and then got banished to ohio.
November 20th, 2023 at 6:01 PM ^
I live in Plainwell. Up until recently third base had a live bait vending machine. Good place to stop for beer and bait on your way to the lake.
November 20th, 2023 at 5:43 PM ^
Ryan Day likes to eat peanut butter from Urban Meyers asshole
November 20th, 2023 at 5:46 PM ^
Not sure what's worse - the baby gif or this mental image.
November 20th, 2023 at 6:26 PM ^
An oddly specific mental image at that
November 20th, 2023 at 7:08 PM ^
If that's where the peanut butter comes from, I don't want to know the source of jelly.
November 20th, 2023 at 7:09 PM ^
Not jelly or syrup? Anyone else remember this from Chris Rock?
November 20th, 2023 at 5:47 PM ^
What's with the "Mr."? Has he earned even that prefix?
November 20th, 2023 at 5:54 PM ^
Thee born on third base
November 20th, 2023 at 7:25 PM ^
I assumed it was an homage to Mr. Worldwide.
November 20th, 2023 at 5:50 PM ^
Granted we are 2nd base
November 20th, 2023 at 6:27 PM ^
Harbaugh ends up on 2nd base inheriting a team that went 5-7 in 2014……hmmm
November 20th, 2023 at 7:51 PM ^
Maybe the cupboard wasn't fully aware that it wasn't completely bare or full.
November 20th, 2023 at 10:55 PM ^
I think in this way the chart misidentifies the analogy. It sorts by team and then sub-categorizes by coach. It should sort by coach and only look at where they began as a head coach. San Diego isn't 2nd base.
Ryan Day wasn't even a full-time OC at Ohio State when Meyer abruptly left him as the HC. I'm pretty sure the only reason he got it was because Kevin Wilson still had the stench of scandal on him. Despite the fact they're undefeated, I bet their fans would be much happier with Schiano right now. At least he's not a pusillanimous crybaby.
Jim Harbaugh intentionally started at the minors and worked his way up. He could have used his connections to skip ahead—and no one would blame him given his experience in the NFL—but he took losing teams and turned them into winners every step of the way.
November 20th, 2023 at 5:53 PM ^
Look at Lance Leipold! What a coach!
November 20th, 2023 at 5:57 PM ^
Man I just don’t see Ryan day and osu losing to us without Jim. Jim coaches circles around day. Those fuckers really got what they wanted.
November 20th, 2023 at 6:05 PM ^
Good thing he's part of the game plan all week
November 20th, 2023 at 5:58 PM ^
I feel that has always been the case with OSU. They are just always good. Even when they "suck" they almost beat Georgia in the cfp.
I hate that we are the ones embroiled in a scandal and not them. That being said, they did weather scandals from Tressel and Meyer and didn't miss a damn beat.
Why? Why can't they suffer?
November 20th, 2023 at 6:16 PM ^
Ikr? They are the last big time school that hasn’t wandered through the wheat field. They need a 5-year saunter through said field to humble their sorry asses. Those idiots don’t know how good they’ve had it.
November 20th, 2023 at 8:01 PM ^
It’s been that way for at least 60 years! They’ve never been terrible. Their worst season was the Fickell year, and I think cooper went 4-7 one year in his first year or something. But never more than one year without a winning record. And never have they wandered around being mediocre for any sustained period. Hell, just 3 consecutive years of being 9-3…could you imagine what that fan base would do? Holy shit they’d lose their minds!
November 20th, 2023 at 6:08 PM ^
Does this mean that Brian Brohm and Lance Leipold are really good coaches?
Does this also mean that perhaps the great Lincoln Riley is.......not so much?
November 20th, 2023 at 6:12 PM ^
A few observations:
- Lance Leipold, Jonathan Smith, Mike Elko, and Jedd Fisch have definitely done a lot with a little.
- You definitely also have to give a nod to what Chris Klieman (KSU) and David Braun have accomplished thus far.
- Given where Illinois started, last year was incredibly impressive. This year makes more sense.
- Jimbo Fisher sure knows how to F-U a program
- Also lol at Lincoln Riley.
- Man, FSU really tanked under Willy Taggart...
November 20th, 2023 at 6:19 PM ^
I watched Northwestern play their first game of year this season and they honestly looked like one of the worst D1 teams I have ever seen. To get to where they are now, that dude deserves everything he has coming his way.
Also, Jimbo Fisher - LOL
November 20th, 2023 at 6:40 PM ^
Same for Eliah Drinkwitz at Missouri. It might be a one-year aberration—his previous four years at Mizzou were mediocre at best—but they've been a sound team this year.
I bet the people in Columbia are worried he's going to be poached by a bigger program with deeper pockets.
November 20th, 2023 at 6:15 PM ^
This may be just me being a sicko, but nothing would be finer than hearing the big house let out a mocking chant on Ryan Day like the Fenway crowd did to Daryl Strawberry in the 86 world series, as long as we're winning.

yeah not sure if you watched the ending of that whole thing ...
