They so soft, chapter 3,024 - OSU coach snipes at Roman on Twitter
See tweet embed below.
FWIW, I probably didn't need to post this. I mean, I did check to make sure that no one else had beat me to the punch and no one had, but really - you didn't need me to tell y'all that OSU coaches are so mentally fragile that they pick fights with people either 30 years older or younger after games.

I am quite surprised to see the OSU coaches are drinking their own koolaid. First Day saying now they know what happened the last two years and now this genius still trying to say that was an INT.
I don't know why they are trying to will that into existence. Clearly a touchdown. Go cry to the Big Ten again
November 26th, 2023 at 1:57 PM ^
To the victors go the spoils. They can embarrass themselves for 364 more days. Enjoy. Every. Minute.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:16 PM ^
365 more days. 2024 is a leap year.
November 26th, 2023 at 3:06 PM ^
370. The calendar and the game combine for a slightly later (11/30) occurance next year. Enjoy an extra 5 days of sucking on it clowns. :)
November 26th, 2023 at 4:30 PM ^
Sorry, he was right. It's 52 weeks times seven days a week till we play again. Leap year has nothing to do with it.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:06 PM ^
Yeah never a good look for a coach to message a player, no matter what the situation is.
While the play is close, once RW had possession and was past the goal line, the play is dead and the result is a TD. If every contested catch was determined by who ends up with the ball after the play is over, we’d basically be playing rugby out there.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:24 PM ^
You just made Mark Datoni mad
November 26th, 2023 at 3:03 PM ^
How can you tell?
November 26th, 2023 at 5:31 PM ^
The scowl turns into a smile.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:19 PM ^
I'm okay with them moving to a permanent position where they're whining and complaining about being jobbed. That means they're losing.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:36 PM ^
When did Ohio State turn into Michigan State? I expect Sparty to whine. They have to live up to being the ne’er do well red headed stepchild. OSU? You have won a ton. You’ve been there before. Act like it.
November 26th, 2023 at 7:57 PM ^
BRD. Before Ryan Day. They had been there BRD.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:38 PM ^
What goes around, comes around. We hated the JT Barrett 4th down call. Cuts both ways. So be it, we will enjoy this as much as they enjoyed that.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:42 PM ^
This was not like the spot. It was the correct call before and after the review. It was a td the second he caught it and crossed the goal line. Otherwise you could just do all kinds of things after in ends zone which makes zero sense
November 26th, 2023 at 3:23 PM ^
Sure, the call is different. There was no injustice in the call.
But it is in the same category of suck it up, stop batching. The game is over.
November 26th, 2023 at 3:41 PM ^
This is nothing like that. In 2016 the spot call was an accumulation of an entire game where the hometown Ohio refs were, not only favoring Ohio, but openly trying to help them win and sabotage Michigan. One thing is not like the other.
November 26th, 2023 at 8:52 PM ^
The spot was at least a close call (and was Zaprudered like crazy without a lot of certainty). However, I remember pausing the game, backing it up slightly and pointing out to my then 13 year old son the flagrant holds that were going uncalled. I'm not exactly Football Sherlock and even I saw them. It was ridiculous.
November 26th, 2023 at 5:29 PM ^
I agree it was the correct call. My Buckeye fan brother sitting next to me thought the call was correct as well. The argument, as I understand it, is that Roman Wilson never secured possession as a catch and since the ball never hit the ground and OSU DB ended up with the ball, it should have been ruled an Int.
November 26th, 2023 at 7:58 PM ^
That's the argument. But that's not the truth.
November 26th, 2023 at 3:29 PM ^
One play was reviewed while the other play was not reviewed. One call was clearly correct while the other call was controversial.
November 26th, 2023 at 3:35 PM ^
Both calls were reviewed. Just sayin’.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:30 PM ^
Walked right into Roman’s plan. 😏
just by responding, you sir have just proven you are in fact….soft
November 26th, 2023 at 1:50 PM ^
Oh no this is worthy of a post. Bitchmade soft is that whole squad. Actually, I take that back. They have some tough dude on that team that no doubt work hard.
it’s the coaches. Self entitled asshats that think they just deserve to beat Michigan for no other reason than “just because we are THE”.
November 26th, 2023 at 1:51 PM ^
Take your L, sir. Roman had possession and crossed the goal line. Hitting the ground (aka being down) caused the ball to come loose.
November 26th, 2023 at 1:54 PM ^
Also, as long as he possessed it at the moment the tip of the ball broke the plane of the Endzone that’s a touchdown. There could be a convenience store robbery in the end zone after that, and it wouldn’t make any difference.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:03 PM ^
Yep yep yep and not even the retired ref commentator mentions this fact
November 26th, 2023 at 3:29 PM ^
Dean Blandino is an $EC and NO$U Sycophant.
He acts like the rules don't apply to any of those teams. He's a joke.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:07 PM ^
Tell that to the refs in the Fiesta Bowl...
But, sir, you are correct!
November 26th, 2023 at 3:28 PM ^
There could be a convenience store robbery in the end zone after that
don’t give OSU any ideas.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:12 PM ^
Took two steps and his butt was on the ground in the end zone before the OSU player grabbed the football from him. In what universe would that ever be called an interception?
Get the f*ck over yourselves, Buckeyes. Don’t be acting like this play was the equivalent of a gift extra yard ala 2016 or Mike Lantry’s made field goal being called wide right.
November 26th, 2023 at 5:15 PM ^
He caught the ball with one foot on the far side of the 5 yard line. These people are delusional.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:33 PM ^
I had like 6 friends across pac 12 schools text me “that’s a tug for sure, shut up Klatt “
November 26th, 2023 at 1:53 PM ^
@timwalton18 is not the coach for OSU, this isn’t him sniping at Roman
edit: it appears it is
November 26th, 2023 at 2:04 PM ^
The screen cap seems to be from Instagram (I don’t have insta or Twitter) where timwalton18 definitely appears to be the same OSU coach. https://www.instagram.com/timwalton18/?hl=en
That said, if this was a fake then I apologize and would ask this post be taken down.
November 26th, 2023 at 1:53 PM ^
After Ryan Day gets fired, where does this genius think he is getting a job? People do look at the internet when screening job applicants
November 26th, 2023 at 2:09 PM ^
::looks around the general direction of Schembechler Hall and sees Wild Stallions and Shemy Schem::
Do they, though?
November 26th, 2023 at 2:37 PM ^
It would be stupid to fire Day. He’s 56-7. They’d be crazy to think they’d do better than that, except maybe if Meyer came back. Half the people here wanted Harbaugh fired after 2020. Michigan wasn’t going to do better. Remember Matt Campbell?
November 26th, 2023 at 3:32 PM ^
It would extra stupid since we will most assuredly take a step back next year and we will have to play at the shoe.
November 26th, 2023 at 1:54 PM ^
JT was short.
November 26th, 2023 at 1:57 PM ^
I was there. I saw it. He was short.
And the refs were swayed. Not deliberately, not consciously, but it looked to me that they simply didn't have the fortitude to defy the braying crowd.
November 26th, 2023 at 3:21 PM ^
They didn’t have the fortitude to defy that crowd the whole game.
November 26th, 2023 at 5:47 PM ^
Huh? They were known OSU homers. It was the one thing everyone knew about them.
November 26th, 2023 at 1:54 PM ^
i dont get the fumble/interception in the endzone agruement... he had the ball in the endzone ... the play is over at that point I dont care if it was wrestled away afterwards the plays over once he crossed the goalline...
November 26th, 2023 at 2:05 PM ^
Literally made no sense to even review it. As soon as he crossed the goal line the play was over and it was a TD.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:48 PM ^
Joel Klatt was super annoying about it too…😒
November 26th, 2023 at 3:34 PM ^
Can we talk about the completed catch/fumble ruling? That was bullshit too. That was one of those calls that was never going to go our way. Had we recovered it, they would have called it incomplete. Head ref was out to job us yesterday.
November 26th, 2023 at 5:01 PM ^
They mentioned it on the broadcast. The initial bobble of the ball delayed Roman becoming a runner after the catch. He re-established control and then took what appeared to be enough steps to qualify as a runner again and then all he had to do with cross the plane with possession. Let’s say he wasn’t able to become a runner again and then went down to the ground. He would have had to survive the ground with possession which he didn’t because he was ripped out. A review was probably necessary to look the establishing yourself as a runner angle and regaining possession. It was closer than most here will admit but they made the right call
November 26th, 2023 at 5:36 PM ^
This was my thought as well...and it was close enough that I was worried about it being overturned because these things tend to go against M more than they go for them.
November 26th, 2023 at 8:38 PM ^
The ball being super glued to the receiver's hands and not moving a nanometer has never been the standard for possession. We have numerous examples of even more tenuous control of the ball count as catches (Roman's own pinning the ball on the back of the defender's helmet comes to mind). I don't think it's consistent with precedent to interpret a slight shift in how he possessed the ball as a bobble.
