Could you imagine a HC who was not on the sidelines for 6! games during a season winning COY? I’ll vote for it but that’s nuts.

After reading about the third consecutive Punic war win ('23M) by Rome in the Siege of Carthage (osu) and seeing the similiarities of Sherrone Moore at Age 37 and Scipio, The Younger at Age 37 ...

There should be an award for "Coach's Career who most resemble History". Sherrone would definitely win it. I made a spreadsheet bc there was too many.

 

But basically Ohio is Carthage (soft and crazy, but has good players).

Scipio The Younger, rises up the ranks through battlefield promotions (Moore and Matt Weiss/ Connor Stallions).

They both beat their rival in the third installment . 2021 = 1st Punic war. 2022 = 2nd Punic.

Scipio The Younger was youngest ever Consul to win war vs nemesis. Sherrone Moore youngest ever HC to beat Ohio State.  

Scipio The Younger, was bastard grandson of last Roman Legend (Scipio Africanus) to beat Carthage in the 2nd Punic war. Sherrone Moore is the bastard coaching son of Jim Harbaugh, last Michigan Legend to Beat the Buckeyes in 2022.  

Age 34 they both won the highest awards they could win at their respective ranks (Mural Crown/Joe Moore Award Winner).

Scipio started as soldier volunteer and was killing people at 17, Moore was Guard for 2007 Oklahoma killing MLBs for D.Murray and Sam Bradford at 21. Both versatile in battle coaching all over different positions (calavlry, supply runs, ambush, siege, naval, etc)

Scipio scaled a fort wall and murdered everyone and then flew the Roman Standard as a signal. Sherrone moore led the OLine into hostile territory '22 and murdered buckeyD and then planted the flag in the horseshoe.

Both got emotional after victory and cried and gave a memorable quotes.

Both burn Nemesis to ground. Scipio after carthage and salting the earth. Buckeye fanbase after 3rd consecutive loss want to burn the program to ground and got salt in their eyes bc there's no excuses left. 

Carthage ruling elites were soft from luxury trade goods like their purple dye. Buckeyes soft and like luxury LV cleats. 

Carthaginians worshiped bronze idols of Bhaal. Ohio State has the most bronze Heismans.

Carthage was top dog in the Meditteranean before this 3Peat Punic war. OSU was top dog in big10 before our 3Peat  in '21'22'23.
