Ryan Day suggests OSU lost because the team was ill

I take this as one more small sign why Day won't be able to keep OSU at Meyer Death Star levels if he remains their HC.

The pressure on him must be pretty great as his fanbase watches us get all the well-deserved attention. Oh well. 

"Day says the sickness that was spreading through the team was "significant" during the Michigan game."

So he put sick players on the field to infect our players?

Edit: saw this in the comments...

I agree with Day.  It looks like the team came down with a serious case of vaginitis.  

Better title, Ryan Day is a douche.

What a bitch. STFU. Go Utes.

Someone send them a case of Vernors. They have 356 days to heal up.

If the comment section means anything most of the fans aren't buying that excuse.

Let's go to the video tape:

• Day says the Buckeyes don't want to bring guys in from the transfer portal unless it truly makes sense. ---------> As opposed to the teams that use the transfer portal when it does NOT make sense, "truly" or otherwise.

• On Josh Gattis's comments that Ohio State isn't a tough team, Day says "I don't really think about that much at all." ---------> "I don't think about it" isn't the same as crying-in-your-pillow not "much at all."

• "You can only feel sorry for yourself for so long." ---------> Don't worry, Binky, you can keep feeling sorry for yourself as much as your little heart desires.

• Day says that after the Michigan loss, the "No. 1 thing we recognize" is that the team must be able to run the ball and stop the run. ---------> An OSU has got such a smart coach!

•  Day says the sickness that was spreading through the team was "significant" during the Michigan game. ---------> That explains why they avoided tackling Haskins, to avoid giving him their germs.

• On Michigan, Day says "there were some things in that game that we could've done a lot better." ---------> "some things . . . could've done better" = run, pass, catch, tackle, block, coach.

• Day says he did not watch the Big Ten Championship Game. ---------> His eyeballs still have a cold.

Became ill after the game

Then maybe you shouldn't talk shit about hanging 100 on someone.  You know, just in case you're sick that day....

MSU > OSU

MSU played the same way supposedly and yet they won. I guess Tucker greater than Day?

I don't doubt they were ill, I would have been too if my rivals destroyed my season and broke my will like Michigan did to them.

= butthurt

Anybody that thinks that 27=100 is not right.

Don't pout little buddy. Making excuses is not being a big man. Mommy knows you hit a triple. Be a big boy and enjoy your participation trophy.

Their tears taste like peanut butter balls coated in chocolate.

You read that wrong. Ostensibly they had a lot of guys sick the past few weeks. I assume some type of cold/COVID/who knows. 

The real question the NCAA should ask is, if "a lot of" OSU players had some sort of infection, why  were all the starters playing last week. 

Bitchtalk? 
 

Uh huh- yes; I do believe that’s bitchtalk I hear. 

What a trash monkey. You got your ass kicked. Own it. 

What a shock! 

Pretty simple. Despite the coaching the OSU team took The Game for granted. Michigan didn't. The rest is now history, but you're looking at the aftermath of a complete failure of OSU's coaches and the success of ours. 

What's he going to say? Besides, I'll bet you 12 to 1 that, in his gut, he thought it would be a walk over too. 

I think Haskins just scored again 

Lol. That fan base, and that coach, deserve each other. Lowest common denominator across the board in character and integrity. 

Think he was just stating a fact not implying that’s why they lost. Do like that he said they don’t plan on using the transfer portal versus developing their own talent unlike MSU who is using the portal to bring in better players versus coaching their own up. Still think this will turn into a problem for Tucker down the road once recruits realize that he will regularly be looking to replace them.

Because Michigan never fell short in The Game due to some form of malady or injury?  I expected the fragility that the Buckeye fanbase has exhibited this past week faced with the new reality, but I would’ve expected the coach and players to show more grit.

You absorbed one upset in 15 years and you fall to pieces?  What a bunch of pansies.

Ryan Day is a bitch ass, and it reflects on his team. Especially his defense. I don't remember our coaches or team mentioning the fact we were on our third string quarterback in the 2017 game, or the year prior our quarterback playing with a fucking broken collarbone.

By the end of a football season, pretty much every team are dealing with injuries and fatigue, and "illnesses". I don't find our win any less satisfying because a few guys had a fever or a sour stomach. You got beat, Ryan. Just own the L until you have a chance to do something about it next year.

Thoughts and prayers 

Hey hey hey.  Go easy on the guy.  It can’t be easy knowing another guy down the road has his undefeated team in the playoff and wants Day’s job.

Soft coach, soft team, soft program. 

"Day says the Buckeyes still had a chance to win the game during the third quarter."

That's like the 2018-19 games when we had a "chance" to win - i.e., we weren't more than 2 scores down at one point.

Wow - the mighty have fallen even if just once.

Being a bunch of weak ass sissies is not an illness.

“Some people score from 3rd Base, due to an error, but think they hit a home run.”

Gotta, “LOVE IT!”

Loser-itis struck the program. Tragic. 

Day makes it way, way too easy.

 The cheer for 2023 in Michigan Stadium:

”THIIIIIRD BASE!”  
“THIIIIIRD BASE!” 
“THIIIIIRD BASE!” 
“GO BLUE!!!”
