..but please, stop smiling. "Can you explain what it's like on the sideline in this stadium once the game starts?" So RR talks about loudness and focus..."You don't think it's a unique place when Michigan shows up?"

Why does he have to beg the question?

Fans of the Game on both sides don't give a shit if you are a nice guy and end up losing in another blowout. Stop joking and being lighthearted. Yes, it will add to the rivalry if there is not hot water in the locker room, but damn, show a tense edge. Act like you are gonna throw down with the first Buckeye fan that looks at you sideways. Mention tradition. Talk about blood and sacrifice and leaving everything on the field. Get angry, and don't just wait till you are in the locker room on gameday.

Live that shit.

I'm sure he saves the snarling, fiery "take no prisoners" speech for gametime. What he says in the locker room and what he says for a TV or internet viewing audience are not the same thing.  The walkthough videos are always light. RR seems quite comfortable in his own skin, with his own style. Quit trying to make him into somebody he isn't.

You're trying to turn him into someone who acts the way you think he should act.  And how do you know that the fire and intensity of the Game don't run through his veins? Just because he doesn't say or show what you think he ought to in a fluff piece on the internet doesn't mean he isn't fired up and intense about the Game.

If he wins, does it really matter if he does or not? Some people choose not to show any lockerroom info, maybe this is his way of doing it. Plus, I have seen him on the sidelines looking rather fired. He doesn't have to throw down any buckeye that looks at him wrong, do it on the scoreboard and I'm sure everyone will be happy, yourself included.
