Urban F. Meyer (Former OSU, CFB and NFL coach)

URBAN MEYER'S FINAL GOLD PANTS SPEECH TO THE OHIOSTATE BUCKEYES

https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio...a-rivalry-urban-meyer-final-gold-pants-speech

"Humbled to be in front of you again. I’ve been part of this rivalry since I was this big [holds hand up to waist]. So I get really upset when I see people come into the program and they don’t appreciate it, they don’t respect it, and, uh, that bothers me.

And I can speak on behalf of you guys who have been here. I cannot speak on behalf of you guys in the back because you don’t yet. Some of you know a little bit about it. But this is a rivalry that in the 10-Year War, there was guy named Bo Schembechler who was the coach at the Team Up North, he’s actually from Ohio. And then a guy named Woody Hayes, and he was the coach here.

And I lived that rivalry in 1986-87 when I was a coach here and I lived this rivalry away coaching in other places. Came back here and, and I’ve been at USC vs. Notre Dame, Florida vs. Georgia, Florida vs. Florida State, and all due respect to all of them out there - that ain’t anything like this.

So it really bothered me when I heard a player for the other team come out and guarantee wins, and Revenge Tours, and shit like that, and I remember those days and my head almost popped off my shoulders. That’s disrespecting the rivalry. And I think - everyone listen real close, this is in our DNA, this will never change: How do you really show respect for a rivalry?

Think about it. Very simple question, complicated answer. How do you show respect for a rivalry?

Is it a tee shirt, is it uh - some guy, that Kamara (Ed. Meyer likely meant Michigan running back Karan Higdon, not Saints running back Alvin Kamara) that asshole that said they were going to win the game and said “I guarantee it” or that defensive end, really good player, Revenge Tour Almost Done so he’s going to group us with Wisconsin or Penn State or something like that?

How do you really show respect for a rivalry? And all due respect, maybe some up there don’t understand that. You work that [expletive] every day. Every day. You walk in that staff room - this is for the new coaches, you know who they recruit. You know what they’re doing every day. What I ask Mark Pantoni - who are they recruiting? Who are they going after? What is their practice schedule? What are they doing? Are we outworking them?

So I’ll say this again. How do you respect a rivalry? You work it every day. You don’t shoot your mouth off. If I ever hear, whatever’s going on, I hear a player take a shot verbally at them - that’s a problem. How do you show respect for a rivalry? You work it every [expletive] day. Not by tee shirts. Not by bullshit.

When I see people giggle about how we don’t wear blue in here - I don’t laugh about that. We don’t have blue pens in here. That’s not funny. This is Nike vs. Adidas, this is Coke vs. Pepsi, this is Ohio State vs the Team Up North. This is our livelihood.

So if you're new to the program - welcome to the program. Understand where you’re at. This is not a game. This is not silly. This is a way of life. There’s a bunch of former players in the back [of the room] that lived it. As you move up, you live it. This is who you are.

You never lose to those pricks. Ever. Ever. And you work it every day. And I don’t give a shit if you’re from California or Texas or whatever, as soon as you say you’re a Buckeye this is part of your life for the rest of your life - and you don’t lose to those pricks. You beat them every day. Every day.

This will always be a player’s program. What you guys did in that game, to put a beating on that team like they’ve never had a beating before in the history of that program - very good program, by the way - you notice how we talk about them, right? Is that a good program up there? Great program. Good players up there? Great players. Great coaches? Great coaches.

That’s the way you respect a rivalry. Then you outwork them and then you kick that ass like it’s never been kicked before. And that’s what you did."
Wow. Finest coach ever to run out of the tunnel. I hope that "Mouth Hart" and that Higdon asshole saw it. Now......if DeWine will grow a pair and fire Drake and his ass lickers, Day should be fine.:urban2:

Well if he can ever get his health in order, he’ll make a king’s ransom and then some at some place.


4 years from now, Day has won all he can win at the college level and moves on to the NFL. Someone well versed in the science has cured whatever exactly the hell is wrong with Meyer's dome.

He comes out of retirement to coach another 5 years before handpicking his next replacement.

Mass suicides break out across the state up north.

A man in south east PA dies of a schadenfreude priapism one happy mofo

Without the cyst, she would have fought like hell for him, and he'd still be there, Courtney Smith, McMurphy and Drake be damned.
odd, though not terribly surprising, that courtney is mentioned but not zach. on the list of reasons that urban is no longer osu's coach, courtney is at least 20 spots below zach and 21 spots below urban.

and if you're expecting a sportswriter or a university suit to report and clean up a mess to your liking, well...

And that's what a good spouse does......hey, a thought.....does any BPer have contacts with an IVY school? Get them to recruit Drake as Prez, a 'promotion' for him, and tOSU can get a chancellor that can appreciate the marketing/economic clout that tOSU football is, and not only funds the most collegiate programs (NCAA eligible or not) for students, and also kicks in, what, $20 million to the general fund (not sure of the current amount), rather than leeching from the general fund. Go Bucks!

They brought Drake in because of his background in healthcare administration. The Wexner Medical Center produces about $3 billion in revenue for the University every year.

Athletics is about $200 million in yearly revenue.

Yeah, but how many natties does the Wexner Medical Center have?

Just kidding. $3 billion is awesome.

Nope, wasn't expecting that at all. They all covered their asses pretty well, thanks to ESPN'S false reporting. The sportswriters and suits are the reason things are the way they are. PC is the law of the day.
