  1. He coached in it for a couple years...I think he gets it as much as he can. He also has had Urban there stressing the rivalry. He'll be fine...

     

    Point back to Cooper all you want, but we want the best chance to win, not just someone that "gets" the Michigan game.

     

    I'm selling all this "not an Ohio guy" bull shit. Gross.

     

    Lmao. I'm assuming you're referencing my post. Give me a fucking break. It's not like I said I don't want him. I think Day is going to do a great job and I'm excited we have him. It doesn't need to be an Ohio guy. I stand by my statement that YES I do think it's hard for an outsider to understand the rivalry like someone who was born and grew up here. That doesn't mean I don't want him as coach.

  2. I just hope he "gets it" about winning but especially beating the brakes off ttun.

     

    GOD Almighty I couldn't take another John Cooper fiasco...a tie feels like a win..WTF

     

    When asked during the press conference what makes The Game special to him, his reply was something along the lines of remembering as a kid watching it with his grandpa. You could kinda hear in his voice that he was somewhat scrambling for an answer. He’s from New Hampshire. It’s hard to imagine him having the same respect for the rivalry as an Ohio or Michigan guy but who knows.

  3. Conspiracy 2

     

    tOSU somehow thinks/knows Harbaugh is leaving for the NFL. scUM had their eye on our future (Day) and Urban knew it. Urban also knew he wasn’t going to coach much longer, at best 1-2 years. Looked at himself in the mirror and did what was best for the program by stepping down and giving a guy he trusts and knows will do an outstanding job the chance. tOSU in return gives Urban a cake gig working for the University.

    *paraphrased a theory from Eleven Warriors*

     

    Do you guys think Urban even coaches this year if he doesn’t sign that extension before all that crap goes down?

  4. dan lebatord apparently is saying Urban to Oklahoma and Oklahoma's coach to green bay. interesting.

     

    I trust forum rumors more than that moron.

     

    I'm sure Urban knows he cannot continue to pull the "health" card, run away for a year then come back again. Anyone that still has respect for him will lose it. LeBron did it though when I didn't think he would and that dude is about as egotistical as it gets and seems to care more about his reputation than anything so who knows.

  5. Thankful for what Urban has done here. I think most of us knew when he was hired, at best we were getting 10 years from him. He's not a long term guy and he never has been. He's a great coach, like we discussed before possibly the greatest of all time and if not certainly top 2-3. He does not handle stress well though. He lets things linger and you can tell he keeps it on his mind and it gets to him. Whether it's the cyst thing or the scandal or whatever, the stress was his ultimate demise.

     

    I wonder if they will announce Day is their guy or if they are going to at least open it up for interviews?

  6. A 6 team playoff is probably the best given there always seems to be the playoff 4 and 2 teams behind them that are right there as well. For example, Michigan really would have no business in the playoff this year in an 8 team format.

     

    BUT for arguments sake you could...

    -Take out conference championship games, take out conference divisions and select a conference champion the classic style. This will eliminate the chances a 4 or 5 loss team gets in (like Northwestern or Pitt)

    -P5 conference champions get in (every conference is represented)

    -3 at large bids (gives a team like UCF a shot)

  7. Georgia had the tougher schedule, lost to the #1 team and the #11 team, beat everyone else easily. Didn't get whooped by fucking Purdue and didn't nearly lose to a shitty team like Maryland.

     

    This proves how inconsistent the committee is. Last year Ohio States schedule was considerably tougher than Bama’s. We had way more quality victories and were conference champs but had 2 losses to Bamas 1. Who got in?

     

    Note: I’m not saying we were better than Bama, we weren’t. But the point is their argument last year was “best team” this year it’s “most deserving”

     

    We need an 8 team fucking playoff

  8. They went with the safest pick but the worst team of the 3. Oklahoma “deserved” it but the argument they’ve always made in years past is the best 4 teams. UGA and OSU are close but I think you give the edge to Ohio State because of Meyer. I can’t be too upset just because we looked like shit most of the season. I think if we only lost to Purdue 35-20 like we should have and we beat Maryland by double digits we easily get in
  9. I'd rather win than lose.

     

    I say that, if you have the opportunity to make it to the playoff, you always take that shot, even if it's likely that you get smoked.

     

    For Ohio State, who have elite talent and elite coaching, you always want that shot.

     

    I agree with this. We seem to be playing better the past few weeks, particularly on defense. Northwestern is a solid team, they just turned it on too late. They’re a legit top 15 team but not on paper. We have a tough argument because we looked like shit all year and waited until now to turn it on. If we just lost to Purdue by less than 10 or even 2 TDs, I think we get in. Letting them run the score up when they weren’t even trying to, is gonna be the difference. You can’t lose by 29 to a 6-6 Purdue team. Unacceptable. With that said, I think we could really compete with Bama after watching them today.

  10. I've said I wouldn't be shocked if he was done after this season. Hearing that he's planning on coaching through 2019 is surprising.

    It wouldn't shock me if he was just saying that and then after everything is all said and done after the season he stepped down. It will be a sad day when Urban leaves. I think a lot of Buckeye fans take for granted what he has done here. Most people predicted him to only last 5-10 years here though from the beginning. My biggest concern is how this effects recruiting. If Day is the coach in waiting, I hope Urban teaches him his Godly ways and it's a smooth transition from winning a lot of games to winning a lot of games (and beating scUM).

  11. Urban Meyer:

     

    At OSU

    81-9

    .900

     

    Overall

    185-32

    .853

     

    Bowl games - 14

    11-3

    .786

     

    Highest win/loss percentage in a season: .933

    Championships: 3

     

    Nick Saban:

    At 'Bama

    144-20

    .878

     

    Overall

    235-62

    .790

     

    Bowl games - 22

    13-9

    .591

     

    Highest win/loss percentage in a season: .933

    Championships: 6

     

    They both are one of 3 coaches to have won Nat Championships at 2 schools. The other is Pop Warner.

     

    Saban is a great coach. One of the all time best. Definitely one of the top 2 if (I kind of agree to an extent) not THE #1 currently, but he's not god and Urban def has produced. The only thing Saban has (statistically speaking) over Urban is 3 more NCs. He has been coaching 6 years longer as well (not that that makes a huge difference).

     

    I would say that either one of them could be in the talks for the GOAT NCAAF HC.

     

    Yeah I guess after you mention that and I thought about one other thing as well.

     

    Saban has gotten the ball to fall his way more often than not where Urban hasn’t.

     

    Examples:

    2011 Alabama lost to LSU then got another shot in the NC game and won (hard to beat a good team twice)

    2012: Alabama got in over OSU due to OSU having sanctions or it would have been OSU/ND

    2015: Ohio State gets left out (despite having the most talented team in college football) because of a last second loss to a very good MSU team. No way Alabama gets left out if roles were reversed.

    2017: Alabama gets in over the Buckeyes despite not winning their conference. Refer to 2015, Alabama getting the benefit of the doubt but not the Buckeyes.

     

    I get Alabama has converted on their opportunities so gotta give them credit but the point is, they have gotten opportunities where Ohio State has not.

  12. I do like that Michigan only dropped to 7. Weird that Ohio State is only 1 spot above them, as there certainly seemed like at least 10 spots between them on Saturday.

     

    I think if Milton didn’t get hurt for UCF, they would have put Michigan behind them, still giving them an outside shot at the playoff. What putting UCF behind Michigan means to me is even with the most insane chaos this weekend, they’re not getting in. The committee is protecting themselves with Michigan as their block.

  13. What if scenario:

     

    Georgia beats Alabama

    Texas beats Oklahoma

    Ohio State beats Northwestern

     

    Final 4

    Clemson

    Georgia

    Notre Dame

    Alabama

     

    Alabama: Doesn't win it's conference 2 years in a row, yet sneaks its way into the playoffs.

    Ohio State: Wins it's conference 2 years in a row, but gets snubbed by the committee in back to back years.
