Ohio State Underdog?

[srru86]

I know "Us against the world" is the oldest motivational trick in the coaching tool kit.
But I had a little bit of a snicker listening to Ryan Day get choked up and proclaim "Ohio against the world". Because a mush-mouthed old coach with a fixation on the damn Domers says something not complimentary about the Scarlet and Gray? Really?
They might not have been in the national championship discussion every year. But they haven't been a real underdog since before Woody Hayes buttoned up his windbreaker. At least.
The next time Ryan Day takes over a program with a real history of losing he can play that card.

 

[RUTGERS95]

Day is an *** and embarrassed himself, his team, and his school. Only osu faithful see it differently.

Holt's comments today should send him over the edge though

[e5fdny]

Okay.

Because I was going to say that sure looked like more of an AI version of Lou Holtz than the real one. LOL

lol you know someone in osu is going to get upset lol

 

[RedTeamUpstream94]

I was just going to post about the same thing - WTF is Day talking about re: "Ohio vs the world"

what?!?!?!

I mean seriously, Ohio State gets all the respect in the world.

puhleeeeeaze! totally bizarre.

 

[e5fdny]

lol you know someone in osu is going to get upset lol

They just went a little too hard on the spittle part.

Tone that back and they certainly would have got me. LOL

 

[RUskoolie]

Jesus I hope the interviewer has an umbrella when Lou is talking.

 

[RUSK97]

C’mon it was flawless!!

 

[e5fdny]

C’mon it was flawless!!

Read my post above…they just went a tad too hard on the spittle.

Had me until then.

 

[ashokan]

Day played in Patriot League (NH) and he carries that aroma imo

The world that doesn’t include the SEC

Ohio against the world is a pretty well known saying in the state of Ohio.

It’s not like he just randomly came up with that, people in Ohio eat it up.

 

[cRURah]

Holtz is out of his mind! And a very sore loser! Cheating? really. Ok refs-we're calling time out now so our opponent can get their shi_ together.

If you were living in Cleveland or Cincinnati, Akron, Toledo, and not talking OSU football, I'd get it.
Basically the only place in the state that is not in decline happens to be the region hosting a major research university.

It’s an AI video lol, that’s not really him

 

[Extra Point_rivals157299]

When Day said it was OSU against the world, I said No, it is Rutgers against the world. Ohio State has most of the world on their side. We have NY on our side but we haven't given NY the opportunity to show the love yet.

 

[rob kight]

Would love to be 7-1 going into the OSU game.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

hahahahahahaha, no way Day doesn't respond through OSU media

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA! Ohhhh Lou lol!

Well it’d also help if they used a current-day representation of Holtz, not from 10 years ago.

 

[RUTGERS95]

Day is a whiny a$$

Day definitely is an ***. However, Holtz is and always has been a bigger ***. They deserve each other.

I've never heard that and I've been here since 1989.

That's some scarry shi_.

Holtz has how many natties? nuff said

Not a Holtz fan but Day can't even win big games at OSU

True but Holtz is a hundred years older. Time will tell. Anyway, championships certainly doesn’t exempt him from being an ***.

Since when did the world care that much about Ohio?

And OSU recruits nationally. They wouldn’t be a top five team otherwise.

 

[LotusAggressor_rivals]

If they're playing against the world, they should be an underdog. The world's getting better QB play.

Marble mouth has exactly one national championship. That’s it. Don’t make it out like he’s got lots of them!

Day is 49-6 as a head coach, and was runner up in the nation championships a few years ago. He is easily going to surpass the old fart when it’s all said and done.

And Holtz got it via polls. There was no championship game. Any anytime it's a poll ND has an advantage. Just look at any preseason poll

When you're a Top Dog there are fewer routes you can take to motivate your team but it always sounds silly to hear programs with all the advantages try to act like they're underdogs. WE are an underdog program, and it's actually not an enviable position at all.

Yes. Rutgers was playing Colgate when OSU was winning Nattys with Woody Hayes. This was until the Jan, 1976 Rose Bowl when Dick Vermeil taught Woody that the forward pass was now a viable option in football and could be used as a true weapon. This game ended Woody’s perceived “dominance” although Woody would continue to coach for a few more neck-punching years.

Not too many more years, if I recall correctly.

I was watching the game when it happened and was probably shocked as much as the Clemson player he hit.

For those who complain about how things are allegedly going downhill and people becoming creeps. Things were always like that. A legendary coach punches an opposing team player. 40 years ago.

It’s a saying they use in the state. Not just for football but for all things. They use it in music too.
