Can’t say “nobody” was angry at the players after Michigan, but 99.9% of the anger was directed at Day, not the players. Zero doubt that was the worst display of coaching by OSU against Michigan EVER!
Illinois nearly did his Iowa hypothetical scenario went to Nebraska Penn st Oregon hosted Michigan and Ranked Kansas and they were not even close in the discussion at 9-3.
Buckeyes! There is no excuse for any of us to ever do that to somebody’s family especially one of our own! This team is always been there for us and we need to always be there for all of them!
The point of the playoff is to show you can hang with the big dogs. This isn't a charity. Indiana had one legitimate test all year and got obliterated. I feel like people are forgetting this is for the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. How you do against actual contenders is super important.
Here's the deal though. WHO decides on what a sos is. Who? Problem is Herby has worked under the ESECN flag so long, he now thinks just like those talking heads. Lol, Ohio doesn't get hit with tons of snow Herby says. He doesn't travel to the east and north in Ohio much in winter. He knows nothing at all of Ohio despite living in it for a bit. He knows nothing. He doesn't get the OSU fan base, doesn't understand the weather in Ohio. And when he played at OSU, he was god aweful. But he won't tell you that. He's so out of touch with the fans of OSU and doesn't speak for them. The was a reason the fans turned on him and basically drove him out of Ohio. He doesn't get it, he never has.
I want to say that I am a big fan of Andy and Ari, I thought they did a good job here. I would assume that you can't press a guest like Kirk. I used to really like "Herbie", but not anymore. Yes, I am a Buckeye. It never bothered me when he picked against OSU, I couldn't care less. I think the whole "they don't like me because I pick against their team" thing is crap. My problem with him is that he continually attacks OSU fans. He goes out of his way to paint them in the worst light. I believe that is why most OSU fans don't like him. A lot of CFB fans will agree with him about the OSU fanbase, but I think that may have something to do with OSU being so polarizing. In addition, we can be hard to take. I will not overlook that. I don't agree with any threats being made. But when the threats or "hate messages" are coming from LOverboy69 with an Avatar of Pokeman, are we really going to take that seriously? I am also willing to wager a significant amount of money, that 95% of negative social media posts were made about Ryan Day, and not the players. I tried to go into this interview with an open mind, but this is one of the more disingenuous interviews that I can recall. Kirk literally said on the 1st round broadcast that he thought the lunatic fringe made up 15-20% of OSU fans. Today he somewhat backpedaled, and explained that the lunatic fringe were the people who were sending hate messages to players. Or the people who were causing Ryan Day to have armed guards at his house. So you're telling me that 15-20% of OSU fans are sending hate messages and threats to these coaches and players? No, you were originally talking about the portion of the fanbase who jeered the team after and during the Michigan game, and who justifiably questioned if their team had the right coach after losing 4 straight to Michigan. On Saturday night, I noticed that the Steeler fans were booing. A large portion of their fanbase would like to replace Mike Tomlin. Guess who was calling the game for Amazon? It's funny that he never mentioned anything regarding Tomlin or the booing. "I was not talking about Indiana directly". Well Kirk, who were you talking about? "What if Iowa was 9-3?". Well Kirk, they weren't, they were 8-4. If he has a publicist, I hope that they tell him to chill out for a while. It would've been a better look if he just defended what he said and not backed down. Or maybe lead in with the fact that he was exhausted and tired and wasn't thinking clearly. Again, very disingenuous.
Sports are just a microcosm of society. Vocal, angry, violent people always get disproportionate attention, as evidenced by our political environment. I applaud Kirk for pushing back on these people.
Re the Texas offensive line, they worked Michigan in the opening game of the year. Have they gotten close to that level of play since then? They have dudes but it looks like they haven't scored 20 offensive points in regulation against a defense with a pulse (after the Michigan game), and I don't understand it.
I love Herbstreit, easily my favorite guy in the booth and him and McAfee make a great combo on GameDay. He has done far more back-tracking and apologizing this year than I have ever heard from someone on TV. My biggest issue with him and all the other ESPN guys saying they don't cater to SEC is that all you have to do is watch GameDay and SportsCenter and look at how much time they will devote to them vs everyone else. Big 10 comes the closest but even then its mostly just OSU, Mich, Penn St and this year they got to add Oregon. But if your team isn't in those 2 conferences or playing one of them they might get a 15 second clip on SportsCenter and good luck finding anything ever said about them on GameDay. The only way they talk about them is for a G6 team to be undefeated or have someone like Jeanty making a possible Heisman run. So while the big wigs aren't outwardly going up to them and saying talk more about them...the producers and the on air talent sure as hell don't do anything to step out and try to cover the other schools with even 1/10 of the effort that they put into the SEC
Andy and Ari I know you guys can see through his bs I can he was pushing for another sec team! Why does he keep talking about IU? Why doesn't he talk about smu?? I mean they were the last team in!!
While people need to be careful how they project their emotions. Fans should be allowed to voice their displeasure when their team loses because unlike Kirk we do not get paid to watch. When a team lays an egg it makes you feel you wasted your time and money.
I can counter almost every single thing herbie says in this interview but its not worth wasting the time. Why did Tressel ban him from the Woodie ??? It goes on and on
Ari, you’ve got to put the phone down. I do the same thing. It costs me so much time replying or getting worked up over things that are just people being emotional. Think about it from a business perspective, if replying to people or reading what people say is helping your business grow. I’m right there with you.
Yeah Twitter and the rest of the apps comment sections are a hellhole. It’s like everyone tosses out what they know about human interaction and just say bait you into being mad. Boggles my mind
If Kirk watches alot of film and so many college football games, then why he is wrong so often? In the end, all the SEC teams they hyped up this year finished the season limping. I picked Ohio State to beat Oregon by 2 scores, Notre Dame to beat Georgia and Arizona State to beat Texas (that should have been targeting). My picks were based on watching all of these teams.
I largely agree with you. The thing that gets lost in translation are the millions of troll accounts on social media. You know the ones that have a handle similar to CFBFAN6969? The ones that have an avatar of Pokeman? So when those accounts send hate messages, although it is wrong and I don't agree with it, it's not real life. I have a hard time believing that there are "tons" of actual real life accounts who send hate messages to these people. Are there crazy people on Twitter? Sure, but there are also a lot of crazy people in real life. I am not making light of any of it, I just think we have to use common sense and stop dramatizing it so much.
Listening to Herbstreit talk out of both sides of his mouth is a joke. Bringing up Iowa and Nebraska and IF IF IF they would have won 9 or 10 games. Indiana not only beat everybody on their schedule except for Ohio State and did so rather handily. They played against ND with a quarterback that had a surgically repaired thumb and a torn ACL and loss by less then Georgia or even Tennessee. Just stop saying they were not qualified to be in the playoffs. You’re embarrassing yourselves.
Fans should be pissed when the coach puts on the worst coaching performance in the history of the program and loses to the rivals four straight times. Day isn’t out of the dog house yet.
Psycho stalkers in comments proving why Herbie doesn't use Twitter. Seeing the difference between how the CFB fans treat Herbie and NFL ones do, and it's one of many reasons big cities look down on CFB.
Kirk simply needs to stop publicly addressing lunatics. Because most fans are not intelligent enough to delineate the difference that he's not talking to them. He should speak more to the fans that are not "the lunatic fringe." It is especially magnified when Desmond Howard sits next to him and is so insanely delusional about Michigan.
@@diluvmusicman I think you're way off base here. The problem is that Kirk goes out of his way to paint the Ohio State fanbase in a bad light. No question there is a small portion of the fan base who go over the top and cross the line. But he is making that percentage out to be much larger than what it is. Why would he do that? He specifically said during the 1st Rd broadcast that 15-20% of the Ohio State fan base made up the lunatic fringe.

You're telling me that 15-20% of the fan base are sending hate messages and are threatening the coaches and players? That's exactly what he said. Most people don't care that he "picks" against their team, that's a poor excuse. They care because, again, he goes out of his way to trash the fan base. How dare we question our coach who lost 4 straight to Michigan. It's funny, during the Steelers vs Ravens game he called on Saturday, Steelers fans were booing throughout the game. Half the fan base wants an accomplished coach in Mike Tomlin gone. Did he trash them? Most people are able to delineate that they are not part of the lunatic fringe. Their problem is that Kirk is inconsistent with who he defines as the "lunatic fringe". I would bet a significant amount of money that he hates Ohio State fans. Most, if not all of them. That is why there are inconsistencies with him. He's done significant damage to his reputation this year, he just needs to shut up and analyze the games themselves. Kirk is a fraud and a phony.
Screw Kirk! The lunatic fringe is the reason Ohio State has the standards that they have. If we were just satisfied with 10 wins, that's all we would get.
@Al-Rudigor i disagree that the lunatic fringe is the reason OSU has the standards it has. I doubt that boosters and guys like you and me are writing death threats to coaches and players. I'd be willing to bet that % is less than 2%. The Standards come from that 98% that remains call for his job when you don't lose to another team beating you, you lose from having the worse game plan I've ever seen against an out manned and out matched TUN. The players didn't lose that game COACHES did, and it was fully warranted to question the leadership. Lastly, the fact that you did a 180-degree turnaround once the playoffs started is proff you knew how to attact teams but you (meaning Day) knew exactly how to use his weapons and the entire year, did not use them effectively. You spent an entire season on a self-serving prophecy to prove that you are a tough team instead of simply winning games by any means necessary. Which is what we all want, even the lunatic fringe.
Kirk works for espn which in my opinion is a garbage woke political network, you have been pushing the sec saying they were the best conference all along. Its ok to admit your a ohio st alumni.
