Some news never gets old!
November 27th, 2021 at 10:53 PM ^
Fuck Ohio. On the other hand, you can spell Got Your Ass Beat without using the letter M.
November 27th, 2021 at 10:54 PM ^
Day is a clown just like his predecessor!
November 27th, 2021 at 10:54 PM ^
Gotta love our Coach. When I first heard him say this, I did not catch his drift. Brilliant.
November 27th, 2021 at 10:58 PM ^
What did the soup Nazi say to the Buckeye?
NO PLAYOFFS FOR YOU!!!
November 27th, 2021 at 10:58 PM ^
Ooooohhhh snap!!!

Harbaugh is fully weaponized again - look out football world
November 27th, 2021 at 11:02 PM ^
This. Is. Awesome.
November 27th, 2021 at 11:03 PM ^
I do think Day is more often than not a great play caller, but he was handed the keys to a fully loaded Ferrari and all he was asked to do was not drive it off a cliff
He was never asked to build a program or build a culture from the ground up. To ask a team to buy in. The entire foundation was built for him by Tressel and Meyer. He just had to not fuck it all up. Now that he’s been dickslapped by Harbaugh, his ability to lead the program has been challenged. We’ll see how good a coach he really is.
To be fair, I do not think OSU as a whole is turning on him. He’s still going to recruit like gangbusters, but there are very, very noticeable holes in the armor right now.
November 27th, 2021 at 11:34 PM ^
Excellent take here. I am not necessarily taking a shot at Day. I think he is a fantastic offensive play caller and designer. But that would be one example of a handful of crucial elements to build a nationally successful football program. Pretty much all of the other elements were already in place when Day was handed the keys. Harbaugh was handed... not that. But he kept working and grinding towards this goal, even after he failed and was snarked at after 5 attempts, and today he did it. That requires a certain level of perseverance and mental toughness that demands respect and was never even asked of from Ryan Day.
Make no mistake, this OSU offense is a load for anyone to handle. He got his team prepared and inspired to accept the challenge in the face of overwhelming odds. If he wants to take a lap and make sure people acknowledge that, well he's earned it.
November 27th, 2021 at 11:40 PM ^
Hey guys, shhhhhhh!!! Don’t say anything we don’t want Day to leave! He’ll be Harbaugh’s,”John Cooper!”
November 28th, 2021 at 12:14 AM ^
I actually wonder if Ryan Day is Ohio State's Don Brown. When he has the talent (and Ohio State always has the talent), he runs a scheme that is hard to beat. But much like the NFL and Patrick Mahomes, the book on how to beat his scheme has been written (play cover 2 with deep safeties and prevent the deep pass, force them on long, exhausting drives) and now teams are going to bash him over the head with it. The key, as it was with Harbaugh and Don Brown, is whether they adjust to teams downloading their schemes and can they adapt and change to meet the new challenges. Don Brown couldn't, but Jim Harbaugh did. Now the ball is in Day's court as to whether he figures out how to change his offense now that teams won't let him throw it over their heads 10 times a game.
November 27th, 2021 at 11:38 PM ^
Lee Corso said today that Day is going to bolt for the NFL as soon as he can.
November 28th, 2021 at 12:21 AM ^
Lee Corso doesn’t know his ass from his elbow at this point.
How’d his prediction turn out today? About 15 years ago Corso was funny and his stuff was unique - he stayed about 10 years too long
November 27th, 2021 at 11:39 PM ^
Day has a .500 record against Michigan. Pretty shitty record for an OSU team with all the advantages.
November 28th, 2021 at 12:01 AM ^
Yeah, Day most likely isn't going to be a Larry Coker whose program slowly declines. They're probably going to be a monster program for years to come, especially how they're recruiting.
But he had an absolute golden opportunity to win a national title in 2019 or 2020 and let it slip away. I'm not sure Urban Meyer would have come up short with those teams.
I also don't think we would have outrushed a Meyer-coached team 297-64.
November 27th, 2021 at 11:03 PM ^
Day said he was going to hang 100 on Michigan. No matter how we view what Harbaugh said, what Day said was 10 times more vile.
And I agree with Harbaugh. With all that talent, OSU should never lose and yet they did.
They can shove that Kevin Wilson Chaos offense up their ass. What they have is just a B12 team with no defense.
Go Blue!
November 28th, 2021 at 12:21 AM ^
Ryan Day is a reflection of the Ohio State fanbase nowadays. Entitled, smug, pompous, douchey, and arrogant. They had a historical run of success (with a bit of luck thrown in) and they felt like it never end and that they alone deserved the unbridled success. But Harbaugh doubled down on his personal scheme for winning football, turned over his staff and filled it with young, bright minds and punched Ohio State right in the mouth and won.
Urban is an asshole, but he earned the right to be one. Day was gifted a program at the peak of the mountain and acted like he built it. Harbaugh 100% hit the nail on the head and they can't handle it
November 28th, 2021 at 7:40 AM ^
How is Day arrogant or smug? Harbaugh wins against his most hated rival one time in seven tries and throws shade @ the opposing HC, that’s not arrogant? After giving up 63&56points the previous two meetings?
November 28th, 2021 at 10:40 AM ^
How is Day arrogant or smug?
"Next time we're gonna put 100 points on 'em."
That ring a bell?
November 28th, 2021 at 12:22 AM ^
I believe Day's comment was behind closed doors however. Harbaugh comment was public in a presser.
November 27th, 2021 at 11:04 PM ^
He's back in more ways then one, he beat them with Harbaugh manball stuff.
November 27th, 2021 at 11:07 PM ^
Day is an asshole. He’s lucky there was no post game handshake. He deserves a slap.
November 28th, 2021 at 12:07 AM ^
Oh yes, if anyone deserved a "What's your deal?" redux...
November 27th, 2021 at 11:09 PM ^
LMAO fuck Ryan Day and his sleazy, Seth Macfarlene-looking ass. Jim is 100% on the money—Day is a punchable, rich kid whose scumbag daddy handed him a fully-functioning Death Star.
Meanwhile, Jim came in and had to totally rebuild and change the culture of a Michigan program that was coming off a dark age of multiple mediocre and shitty losing seasons, embarrassing losses (and wins, frankly) that had been decimated by two previous poor coaching hires.
November 27th, 2021 at 11:13 PM ^
Ryan Day's response at the press conference...
November 28th, 2021 at 7:23 AM ^
That thing looks just fucking like him, wow that's uncanny
November 27th, 2021 at 11:28 PM ^
Honestly Ryan Day can eat a bag of d$&@s.
November 27th, 2021 at 11:37 PM ^
Nothing more cringe-worthy than seeing the whole state refusing to say Michigan, or putting an X everywhere instead of using the letter M. It honestly just seems pathetic and petty to a point that is painful to see.
November 28th, 2021 at 12:57 AM ^
I agree. That stuff is pretty stupid.
November 27th, 2021 at 11:51 PM ^
Ryan Day is a smug douche with a crappy beard and huge bags under his eyes.
I would bet he has a wet handshake and smells like salami.
November 27th, 2021 at 11:58 PM ^
If you can’t grow a full beard fucking shave Eddie Munster.
November 28th, 2021 at 12:06 AM ^
Jim should absolutely talk shit. Day is one of the luckiest guys in all of sports, given what was handed to him. MacDonald had never coordinated a defense before this year, and he took Day's vaunted offense behind the woodshed for a whooping. Let it all hang out, Jim
November 28th, 2021 at 12:15 AM ^
Suckeyes have fun losing do the Ducks ? again in the Rose Bowl.
November 28th, 2021 at 12:16 AM ^
F$*& all the OSU Bucknut losers. May they all rot in the proverbial Ohio piece shit of state down south.
November 28th, 2021 at 9:10 AM ^
Harbaugh’s absolutely right, too. Day sure got badly out-coached this game, for example. M defensive pressure and cover 2 deep most of game, snowing and cold = bad conditions for pass-happy game plan. He had to change the plan—that freshman RB can do damage too—and he didn’t. On D, too, though less so: they were getting pounded and he needed to bring more help against the run. They did not bring enough, although here having meh LBs didn’t help and M was so balanced we were getting them either way. Still, they had to bring whatever it took to stop the run, especially in those conditions, and they didn’t. He isn’t a great game day coach; he just inherited tons of talent and a CFP system that amplifies it as long as he doesn’t wreck it. Hope they had a long sad drive back to our southern armpit
November 28th, 2021 at 9:30 AM ^
He didn't have anything to bring up to help! If he moved the safeties up, McNamara would have slaughtered them through the air. All those throws he hit? The receivers were WIDE OPEN! The OSU secondary could not match the speed of Michigan's WRs. Sainristil, CJ, Wilson, Henning, and Edwards all outran coverage on middle and deep throws. Bring up the safeties and put those corners in man and they would've looked like M-MSU last year.
The offensive game plan Gattis ran was the best one I can ever remember as a Michigan football fan.
November 28th, 2021 at 10:14 AM ^
I did say that defensively the beat-down was more defensible on their part, but still, by the 4th quarter, they had to sell out to stop the run or they were going to run out of time to have a chance. Didn’t make the right decision in that pick your poison, is what I’m saying. Day got out-coached on both sides of the ball, albeit less badly on their defense than on their offense. They needed to go more run-heavy on both sides, especially offensively. He’s not a great game coach. May be great recruiting, but has had so much advantage, hard to tell.
(Also, M game plan has been there before: how does O’Korn led team be within a possession late in game? Great coaching & game plan. The difference this time was even better plan & coaching, maybe, and something magical about this year’s team’s spirit and heart, definitely!)
November 28th, 2021 at 9:13 AM ^
Honestly, whatever fires someone up and keeps that intensity going works, anyone have any good bulletin board material to confirm Ferentz said Iowa will hang 150??
