McMurphy throws shade at OSU fans

OSU fans have absolutely been intolerable on social media these past 24 hours
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:02 PM ^
And our WD is on there saying we should nuke the buckeye nation LOL. Press the button!!!
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:18 PM ^
Sorry, no. Suggesting the mass murder of millions of people, even in jest, isn't a good look.
It also wasn't really funny. :) Sometimes it's best just to take a step back and let OSU people be idiots. No sense dropping to their level.
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:27 PM ^
Yeah, because he has access to nuclear weapons. This world we live in nowadays. Do you really think he was talking about actually killing people?
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:32 PM ^
"Nuke" is an expression that doesn't have a literal meaning. For instance, when I got back from vacation I told my wife I was going to "nuke" our pool with shock because it had turned green. She didn't stop me and say "but that would wipe out the whole population of southeast Michigan!"
And yes that was a humblebrag.
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:39 PM ^
I'm fairly certain there's a difference between "nuking" the pool and the population of an entire state. :) "Nuke the Horseshoe" -- I wouldn't have reacted, even if it's still hyperbole.
Michigan fans should be better than this, though. "Nuke the scUM" is a Buckeye thought. Better to feel sorry for them -- can you imagine having to go through life as an OSU fan? -- than to act like them.
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:49 PM ^
It's not just any state. It's Ohio.
August 23rd, 2018 at 2:02 PM ^
Lots of Michigan fans live in Ohio.
August 23rd, 2018 at 1:34 PM ^
When you're in a hole... stop digging
August 23rd, 2018 at 11:47 PM ^
No, Ohio should be nuked literally.
August 23rd, 2018 at 3:56 PM ^
In the interest of world peace, I pledge never to NUKE a delicious Hot Pocket snack again.
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:40 PM ^
Look I agree on not dropping to their level but if you can’t tell that that is nothing more than a joke, idk man. It’s harmless, chill out.
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:59 PM ^
Yes, it was a joke. It just wasn't funny. :)
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:47 PM ^
Everybody nukes...
August 23rd, 2018 at 1:12 PM ^
Perfect!
You win the internet for today, sir!
August 23rd, 2018 at 2:28 PM ^
Maybe he was just suggesting they need to be warmed up in the microwave.
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:35 PM ^
I am so glad to have blocked that Devoter kid so many years ago.
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:02 PM ^
And yet even after all of that, Herbie still reverts back to Buckeye Nation when the chips are down.
A cult will do that to you.
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:31 PM ^
If you remember how high-pitched his voice was throughout the 2016 Game it shouldn't be a surprise.
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:42 PM ^
What telecast do you watch? That game was on fox and herbie was not announcing.
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:50 PM ^
2016 was Fowler and Herbstreit. Last year was Fox.
August 23rd, 2018 at 1:44 PM ^
That's right. They both eventually agreed this was a terribly blown call. After Herbie saw the replay he had to walk back his homer BS. Fowler: "Oh my goodness!"
August 23rd, 2018 at 3:47 PM ^
I can't watch this. I made the mistake of watching the 4th down replay last year and it nearly killed me.
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:02 PM ^
Intolerable these last 24 hours?
As opposed to the rest of their occupation of the internet?
I almost wish Al Gore had never invented it.....
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:30 PM ^
We would definitely be better off without the internet. No doubt about it.
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:41 PM ^
I’m gonna disagree on that. Yes, it’s a platform where people can say bad things anonymously, but the benefits of it outweigh that negative by a factor of 1000.
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:18 PM ^
Please, God, let McMurphy have or find one more big bullet to fire!
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:26 PM ^
Finding the deleted text messages would be a good start. Folks who lived in Detroit in the 2000's know how damaging text messages can be for people in power.
August 23rd, 2018 at 1:39 PM ^
Do you really think that would matter? If the OSU BOT didn't fire him or Smith after the shit ton of evidence they already had, what would one more transgression cause them to do? These people are without standards or any ability to feel ashamed.
August 23rd, 2018 at 2:01 PM ^
The obvious answer is that if the texts contain evidence of NCAA violations, that would certainly open up OSU to a whole 'nother world of hurt.
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:19 PM ^
It's like everything else seems to be nowadays - blindly partisan as long as your guy is winning. Ignore the facts, call it fake news, stonewall, and get back to winning. Sports, politics, etc. It's tiresome
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:27 PM ^
Makes the movie Purge seem more realistic every day.
August 23rd, 2018 at 4:33 PM ^
Everywhere I look it's powerful people cheating/lying or worse and other powerful people covering up said cheating/lying/other crimes and their sycophants using the "everybody cheats/lies/commits crimes," defense. It's depressing.
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:26 PM ^
Was gonna post a GIF but yeah, nope. Not gonna happen apparently. Even on desktop can't figure this thing out anymore.
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:29 PM ^
That first reply made me laugh. Brett was not laid off due to performance. It's called a budget cut, OSU fans. Pretty simple to understand.
EDIT: Also, that reply makes no sense whatsoever. Brett's report/investigation uncovered a scandal at their precious THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Ohio State University, which resulted in a suspension of their dickhead coach (pun intended, of course). I'll bet ESPN would have loved to have one of their own reporting that.
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:30 PM ^
Speaking of fans, I looked at OSU's schedule and Urban will be pretty insulated from hostile (non-hypocritical) fanbases until bowl season.
The only road games he'll coach this season:
PSU -- (Sandusky/JoePa scandal)
Purdue -- (LOL @ hostile Purdue fans)
MSU -- (Nassar, Auston Robertson, and housing serial litterbugs)
MD -- (Their coaching staff literally has blood on their hands)
I'm convinced he would have coached the TCU game if that was neutral site or at home. They want to shelter him from a hostile environment for as long as possible.
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:34 PM ^
OSU fans will travel pretty well to those games anyway. That bunch is as close to English hooligans as any fanbase in the States.
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:41 PM ^
Don't ever compare OSU trolls to English hooligans. Hooligans are way classier than Buckeye fans even while breaking windows in a local town square, or urinating in public.
Plus Russian Hooligans have taken the crown in recent years. The last Euro Cup featured 150 Russian MMA fighters funded by the government to randomly attack foreigners.
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:31 PM ^
This is getting old.
If he has more stuff, bring it out. If not, I don’t need to hear about McMurphy having twitter wars with Buckeye fans.
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:34 PM ^
Good thing you don't hear anything on MGoBlog, then, unless there is an audio version I am unaware of.
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:37 PM ^
I read the replies and now I want to die.

Not sure if we can edit MGoPosts, so I amended OP's post to what OP doubtless intended.
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:40 PM ^
McMurphy did what he could but there was just no way Meyer was going to be fired. Michigan is not on a level playing field with OSU and MSU because they are not willing to get their hands dirty and do whatever it takes to win.
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:59 PM ^

Thank God.
August 23rd, 2018 at 1:13 PM ^
This is an extremely poor excuse for losing to them.
August 23rd, 2018 at 2:43 PM ^
It wasn’t an excuse for losing to them, it’s a fact. He didn’t say we lose to them because we won’t stoop to their level. He didn’t even mention winning and losing. He just said we aren’t on level playing fields.
It is a fact that both schools are shitty places to go to school and they only care about winning. They are both comprised of morally bankrupt assholes that trade student safety and the safety of women for football wins. We won’t be on a leve plying field because we are better people than them. It’s pretty sound logic
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:42 PM ^
Would it be too much of a "dick move" to have McMurphy as an honorary captain, and bring him to Columbus with us in November?
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:43 PM ^
Maybe Courtney as a "Co-Captain" as well
August 23rd, 2018 at 12:59 PM ^
McMurphy was just on Jim Rome. Rome just spent a whole hour with the most epic takedown of Meyer and OSU and their fans. Rome sometimes grates on me and can be obnoxious at times, but this was a fantastic take.
