Ohio State @ Notre Dame

Screw tepid optimism. Go all in! Lol.

I made my sacred Buckeye Mexican bean dip this morning. I mixed a can of black beans into the refried beans for extra power. If the Irish don't experience the power of those beans, the people sitting around me at church tomorrow will.

Ohio St is going to beat the Catholicism out of Notre Dame. By the time the Buckeyes are done with the Irish tonight, Notre Dame will convert to Islam, become a madrasa, and the fathers will be imams.

Enjoy fellas. :)

Well, the beans worked.

My heart was ripped out three separate times in the last several minutes of the game.

On both sides of the watch no doubt.

2:50 remaining, ND had just gotten a first down and was moving the ball well. Minute left and McCoy is trying to give the ball to the green. Still a second on the clock, ND gets one last shot.

The only thing separating ND from a win was Joe Montana had used up his eligibility.

Well, I think both Irish and Buckeye fans have a higher opinion of the other team's defense and lines of scrimmage - and entire team really.

I knew ND's OL was a really good unit and I knew that Estime was a beast, but I underestimated the quality of the depth and talent behind #7, as well as the TE/WR group.

Sam Hartman was what I thought he was. Very accurate, capable of dinking and dunking down the field. But I don't know if he couldnt/wouldnt/ wasn't allowed to go downfield, but I expected more attempts at those types of explosive plays.

Anyway, plenty of player and coaching errors on both sides that could have changed the game dramatically in either direction, but when it was do or die, Kyle McCord and his guys did when they easily could have died. But those were 2 very good teams that went at it. I imagine that if Hartman had the ball last and needed a TD, it would have been Buckeye Nation waking up with a headache.

Will be interesting coming up, albeit, the transitive analysis normally doesn't work. ND plays Duke and USC. Will be interesting to see if they return closer to their 40 per game avg. Of course I know what most of us think about USC and semblance of defense

You ever see a coach going from job to job and wondering how he keeps getting hired because you perceive he is bad at coaching? Alex Grinch is that guy for me. When he got hired at USC, I just laughed.

Ryan Day is a head. Most of the OSU fans on this site have said the exact thing but you want to get butthurt when an 86 yr old man mumbles those same sentiments.

That 86 year old man has looked like a moron in many regards in the last 7 years, both on tv and off. The fact he had become a true sweetie isn't new

He’s 86 and if Ryan Day needed that as motivation, he really is a terrible coach.
 
I know Lou is a clown at times, but his comments surprised me, given his connection to OSU. I'd say he's burned that bridge, not that he probably really cares. And I have no problem with Day's comments. He's just defending his team and I'm guessing they're all tired of hearing it. Got the win, now move along.

Yeah, they’ve heard it from Ohio St fans. And now the OSU fanbase wants to act indignant over Holtz agreeing with them.

Well,he has many thoughts recently, Holtz that is, that defy facts and reality....football included but not exclusive. He has become an sweetie
 
Whether you agree with Day’s response or not, Holtz said what he said. And I wish people would stop with the ‘poor 86-year old man’ act. I don’t care how old he is. If he makes a decision to go on McAfee’s show and drop a piping hot take, then he should be able to handle the public blowback from Day. He’s clearly using this to motivate his team and create a narrative to rally around in the locker room moving forward.

If that’s what he needed to motivate his team, he is soft. Again, half you on here have said the same thing.

but you're ok with the pitymypoorohioass routine? GTFO I've seen your posting and no way do I believe that. Day needs grow some manballs, ignore and move-on or go back to New Hampster.

Lets look at this. Here is what Holtz said.
Ohio State loses big games under coach Ryan Day because the Buckeyes aren't sufficiently physical.

"Ok Day, if not that that, then why DO you lose the big games?" That's what a journalist with their head not up theirass would followup his ranting responses with.

Man response looks more like this
Holtz is a legend. His words motivated us.

or
ignore and deflect any question regards the words, much as his QB did in the on-field post interview.

I was watching PM's show when Lou said it, it didn't bother me. You know how pre-fight boxing press conferences are? Sometimes it's pure hype and a show to try to sell tickets - and sometimes there may be some genuine animosity, but regardless the press conference is being done to promote the fight. I took Lou's comments as that kind of thing.

Agree to disagree. I get that you don’t like it, but it didn’t bother me. 🤷‍♂️

Now I just hope he channels that ‘pitymypoorohioass’ energy into his play calling.

Frankly, I’ve never embraced this physicality obsession from Day anyway. My posting would support this stance. Who cares if they’re a finesse team. That’s how they’re built. Not like TTUN, Georgia, etc. Throw it every down with those weapons. Embrace it.

And if Day’s lack of ‘manballs’, and crazy ranting motivates the dudes in the locker room, then I’m fine with it. Let him be the heel. Maybe next time he’ll take out the postgame interviewer with a folding chair.
 
You can sense the extreme pressure on Day in that post game interview. Did not bother me one bit. He is fighting for his team who went on the road and won a big game in a hostile environment. Lots of frustration, perhaps some indirect, unleashed on Holtz.

I have been critical of Day, but that last 1:25 was masterful. Hats off.
 
I'll tell y'all something, I'm a big fan of Freeman. Saw him play on Friday nights and watched him on tv on Saturday's playing for the Buckeyes. I'm a big fan. He handled the post game presser like a champ. As mush as it hurts to say, as long as he's the coach of the Irish, I will root for them as long as they're not playing the Buckeyes and maybe the Vols. ROTFLMAO!

Hope ND gives him (Freeman) a lifetime contract. Having 10 players on the field for the last 2 plays of the game (inexcusable), and the play calling under 3 min. to go was insane, just run the football make OSU burn their time outs. If OSU would have made those blunders the fan base would have Days head on a pike.
 
Glad JTT finally made his presence known at the end of the game without those last 2 plays he made on defense, Bucks don't win. Hopefully he can do that more consistently the entire game (being a disruptor).

Wow. I didn't know how perfect you are and have never made mistakes. Good for you. I bet your wife (or life time partner) is really proud of you.
