For him not to recognize this as a wake up call is revealing and obtuse. I fear the next close game for this team as their leader is not equipped to guide them through the obstacles because he hasn't done it enough yet.

It should be through the roof as half of the team stated goals would be gone or in jeopardy. We will see how good Day is at managing the pressure for sure.

Just blitz more

I think Day is overanalyzing and needs to be more instinctual. Analyzing plays too many times screams uncertainty in your own skills.

They may win out but PSU took the big step today OSU did not in Day's words. A 2 loss team still likely makes the playoffs but anyone really excited for that given the makeup of this team? Zero confidence in Day to win a big game.

Agreed. Kirby Smart is picking his chops to get a game against either of these coaches, both sucked.

Maybe, but Ryan Day fucks up again. This loss was a coaching loss. Period. Guys played hard, scheme tucked. Period. Ryan Day is not the guy. Lost last 3 to Michigan regardless of scandal that is TBD. Lost last 2 to Oregon. Lost last bowl game and multiple playoff losses. Dude ain't it. Period.

OSU looking spotty in areas and Autzen is a tough environment so I think there is a better than 50% chance they lose. Self inflicted wounds will decide the game and right now we are losing.

I have the distinct feeling he will either get the credit or the blame after this game.

I like Will I just kept getting recurring feelings of not sure about his passing prowess under duress. He makes some shaky throws sometimes and against a good D he could have a bad game. I am looking forwardto his performance in this game as it will dictate how far OSU will go this year.

Howard should throw deep more, he doesn't have to be super accurate if it is one on one coverage. Look at the receivers making plays around the cou try today, not just Smith and Williams. My opine is if you have one on one and no safety help go ahead and air it out and the down side is minimal.

Do we know when the 90 day window or clock started for response to NOA?

I don't care about the first 3 games. I do not think we get better playing these kind of teams. I care that we said we wanted to start fast and waited for the second half to do it. I see a repeating trend here with Day's teams so hopefully they can actually start fast next week.

Is anyone really surprised? One, Howard and this show have long figured out idiot OSU fans will watch if the show dogs them. Two, Ryan Day was born on third until he wasn't. Show you can win it all and pundits will pick you, but at the end of the day who cares. Go win games.

Ohio state has looked bad against Michigan the last 3 times out cheating or not and we were spoiled by Urban. Day is Cooper 2.0 until he isn't. If we make the playoff every year, which we should going forward, but do not win a championship in next 2 or 3 years, will that convince people? I hope he does win but ask any coach in college who has the most talent and has not produced championships the last 3 years.

Hawk tuah

40,000 posts and a slap on the wrist, don't we look a little silly

Not sure if this was posted but this is an excerpt from CBS article. Loser: Mid-level department bloat As of Sept. 30, 2023, Ohio State's Human Resources database lists 139 athletic department employees with salaries exceeding $100,000. That's just one example of the bloat that infiltrated programs around the country as they searched for a place to deposit the annual fortune generated from high-profile college football. A weighty chunk of Power Four revenue is now expected be used to pay the players, which could mean trouble for the army of associate, executive, assistant, deputy and senior athletic administrators employed by most power conference schools. Basically stating this settlement will hurt the management departments at schools and I think we all knew ohio state had a ridiculous budget but this is silly all the people they are paying.

I read this story and it can come across two ways, one they are getting hammered which is why he left or two he left and there is no hammer to drop because he is gone. As well the NCAA wanted phones and records which were later dropped as per the story. Listening to a lawyer discuss the situation it seems the NCAA has little left to do since Hairball left. Unfortunately if any of the thoughts or opinions in this story and book are remotely true Michigan is going to get a slap on the wrist.

Hopefully they throw Northworstern out of the BigTen by then.

Wow, Michigan beat writers protecting the school and not reporting the bad stuff. This sounds so familiar to another situation but I can't quite put my finger on it. Hmm.

Gene will advise that we overpay for whoever they hire. Maybe we should ask Gene to help with the buyout of Holtman.

The buyout is ridiculous, everyone thank Gene for hamstringing the program money wise once again.

ND will maintain its independence, go to the SEC or the BigTen and in that order. ND has said they do not want to be the third team from Indiana in the BigTen. SEC is intriguing probably because they have the Chicago market and is a northern school so they help in that respect. I do not see them doing anything.
