said a lot of people the past 2 years

when the fuck does it end?

Once the bar is set lower (expanded playoff, "yeah! we're good again!!"

Fuck my life. This is a millennial. Millenial's are going to be the death of all of us.

They are the harbinger of doom of a generation and we're married to one

If this is the worst thing that happens to you today, then you’ve had a “good day.”

Perspective, look into it.

I’m not even sure. I didn’t want to face this question. Not after the cheating story. And not after losing to an interim coach but here we are.

The hesitation on 4th down when you should just have a killer instinct to say “screw it, stop us” is so concerning. The team has an emotionless panicked feel - at the start and the end of games. The eye test is clear to me.

That said…You almost have roll with Day in this era. He’s going to recruit and win enough games to get the Bucks into the playoffs. At that point you’re looking to roll the dice on a 3-4 game run. He’s gotten the team up against Clemson and Georgia before.

No man’s land but you hope he figures it out.

Day has been fuck it lets go the last 2 Michigan games and was crucified for it when it didn't work. What he took from that was be more conservative instead of just fuck it sometimes we'll fail but I need to live with that. It's cost him twice in the last 2 years with settling for long field goals he needs to learn a balance

Putting this wish list for 2024 season here as it seems early for a thread dedicated to next season.

1. I don’t want to see any starters playing after the first half of at least the first three games. Those are all money games and there is no reason not to be up 21 points at half. Start using our depth and get them meaningful game experience. It is going to be a long season with the playoffs.

2. Have a scary special teams. And I mean one that scares opponents. A return game that could break one at any moment. Some punts blocked. And a kicker that is automatic from 50 and in.

3. Finally, I really would love to see Hartline as something closer to a true OC. Let him call the plays. This allows Day the ability to be a game day head coach.

It’s a short wish list. Besides Oregon I don’t see anyone who can stop OSU during the regular season, besides themselves.

Oh gee thanks.

Someone to remind me it isn't real life.

I had never considered that.

(when you pearl clutching condescending fucks want to teach the rest of us a morality lesson about the way we post, maybe consider the possibility that none of us simple sonsofbitches let this spill into their real life no matter how much you really smart guys think it does).

Ok. I’ve spent the past couple of hours defending Day in the game thread. Well defending him from being immediately fired at least. That said here are his must dos:

-Fire Fleming or reassign him to whatever position he has been retained for. Because its not special teams, that’s for sure. We are OSU - if we want to spend mid six figures on a non-coach recruiter, then so be it.

-Agressively fill in positions of need for depth. Example - OL. I’m not faulting Frye because we improved over the course of a season, but we were too young and untalented on line coming into this year.

-Have a QB on opening day that is improved from McCord’s current ceiling. Maybe it’s Kyle, maybe it’s one of our other QBs. But I think we can agree that being a top tier QB in our conference should be the floor, not the ceiling for us.

-Retain Knowles. I think the hate given to him in game thread was unwarranted. It’s 2023 and giving up 31 points spotting them a 7yard drive and requiring them to be perfect on 4th down isn’t the reason we lost.

That’s it. Yeah he is 1-3 in the Game, but fix the above and how easily that changes.

Bonus points if he mentors Hartline and cedes some play calling to him.

Look, I'm not at all happy with the past few years either. But there's a lot to consider with Ryan Day.
  • He's dealt with the absolute peak of Michigan football the past few years. That's over now.
  • Michigan also cheated the previous 2 games and quit in 2020. This cannot be ignored.
  • The Big Ten is removing divisions next season. This means OSU will be playing in the Big Ten Championship Game 9+ times a decade.
  • The CFP is moving to 12 teams next season. This means OSU will be in the CFP 9+ times a decade.
  • Gene Smith retires in a few months. He's not firing Ryan Day in his last act as AD.
  • A brand new AD is not going to fire Ryan Day in his first act as AD.
Look, I said this last year and I'll say it again: if it were up to me, and Mike Vrabel wanted to come home, I'd seriously consider it. At this point, I'd probably even do it.

But being realistic, it just isn't going to happen now. Ryan Day will be our coach next season unless he decides he'd rather coach elsewhere.

My 10 year-old relative who has stage 4 cancer, whose parents are HUGE sports fans, would easily convince you otherwise.


If it causes you this much misery then why continue to engage in it?

Vrabel has said he hates recruiting and NIL makes it even worse.

I am legitim;y sorry for your family but that's the point. You keep acting like anyone who criticizes this monkey is forgetting how sick the real world is.

No one does that, this is juts football so the perspective checks are a waste of time.

Again, my best wishes for the child. Fuck cancer.
