No absolutely not. This guy claiming to be “hardcore”, when in reality he’s probably never left Ohio. Speaking as a born and raised Ohioan, as well as a lifelong fan and graduate of Ohio State, believe me this guy does NOT speak for our fans. The rivalry absolutely matters, it’s such a part of our culture that we can’t escape it. But the greatest prize in CFB is a national championship. Shame on Rich (but also genius) for using this clown to further his narrative. I got so disgusted listening to this guy speak for our fans lol.
Winning the Natty is definitely the bigger prize. Congrats to the buckeyes for achieving the biggest of three goals. It also shows us just how magical that 2014 season was.
Very well said. This Micheal guy is an absolute joke. Just a bafoon. I'm proud to call Ryan Day my coach. It's an absolute honor. People need to realize and understand that the 1970's are over with. Woody and Bo are long gone. This is no longer a one game season.
The loss to Michigan was brutal in the moment, but National Championships trump all. To go from the lowest of lows to the top of the mountain just a few months later showcased incredible resiliency from the team and staff. Not being able to enjoy a National Championship because of a loss to a rival is absurd. You think Chiefs fans spend even an ounce of energy thinking about losing to the Raiders on Christmas last year after they won the Super Bowl?
Trumps the Michigan loss, yes. Erases it, no. The 2014 season with the win over Michigan followed by the destruction of Wisconsin to win the Big10 title followed by the Natty was a MUCH more satisfying season. This season, the buckeyes went 1 for 3. The natty is the bigger achievement of the 3 possible achievements, but the buckeyes fell short on the other two goals. It was still a fine season.
National championship trumps everything. The rivalry will still be there, not to the extent it was, but, had they not had that loss, in retrospect, I don't think they win the championship. What a great story about overcoming adversity! AND I AM a Die hard Ohio st fan!
Buckeyes fan here, he is an A+ recruiter … so he has off the charts talent everywhere. Of course he’s gonna beat doormats and win 90% of the time. But in big big games. He usually (this years title run aside) comes up short
This is the equivalent of the dodgers winning the world series last year but still wanting Dave roberts fired because we lost the in season series to the padres. Insane
Doesn't matter if he went to school at OSU. I agree his assessment of Ryan Day is a joke, though. Ryan Day is a great leader and a great coach. For those who don't think so simply do NOT know athletics or leading young people.
Im from Ohio as well... and that Michigan loss hurts but I would rather have the Championship than not... and he would be looked @ differently in a good light... had we beat Georgia and then TCU and he would be a 2x Champion 🏆
Bro I hate these fans…. I guarantee this is a Browns fan who also wants to fire their coach every season and a half… and he still wonders why is team is a laughingstock!
I am a OSU alum and have family that are born and raised in Ohio. I understand the rivalry as much as anyone but as one person here said I would rather lose to Michigan and win the national championship. One thing that is rarely mentioned in these talks is that 3 of the 4 losses to Michigan are under question in terms of the NCAA. Let’s see what happens when that case is finally settled. The lose this year was on Ryan but I want to see if the last three losses will even be counted against Ryan’s record. Time will tell and if they get wiped away Ryan’s legacy will be ever better and then we can assess things from there. I played and coached football and know if you know the plays before they happen that puts you in a much better position to win the game. So let’s see what happens when the NCAA finally settles the sign stealing case. As for the fan he accurately said he is on the fringe and does not speak for me. I am a proud Ryan Day supporter and would love to revisit this conversation once the infractions process concludes and the letter they sent to Michigan goes public and NCAA has their final say on the ruling of that case.
Buckeye fan who never thought Day should be fired. I'm not stupid. That said, winning the Natty did not redeem him. ONE of the expectations is that THE Ohio State Buckeyes will win a Natty every decade or so. I understand why a Corn and Sadness fan wouldn't understand that considering you have only won 2.5 since the poll era began and had to cheat to get one of those. Day lived up the highest of the expectations this year, but he hasn't lived up to the minimum expectation. If he doesn't get the mental block out of his head about TTUN, he could have 10 championships and will still go down in history slightly above Cooper as "that coach who couldn't beat Bitchagain".
Rich's enthusiasm is awesome, but I don't know about the weight of the rivalry in the terms he expressed. I look forward to Michigan and Ohio State play because I know it will be a heated, spirited game but I don't feel like the match-up transcends other rivalries.
Two things that made Ohio state winning the natty tolerable: first, notre dame fought hard and it wasn’t a blowout. I appreciated that. Second, this senior class never beat Michigan. So screw em. That’s going to hurt for way longer than the happiness of winning a natty will.
Ohio State got screwed in 2019 by the refs against Clemson. 2020 Ohio State made the championship game but over 20 players were missing due to COVID. 2022 Ohio State lost to Georgia on a shanked FG to win the game in the semi final game. This year we finally broke through beating 4 playoff opponents in the toughest bracket to win the championship and hopefully we never look back From here on out.
Buckeye QB Will Howard is probably the happiest player on that team. In one year since her transferred to Ohio State he managed to 1) Take revenge on Penn State since they did not recruit him as a Pennsylvania native 2) Defeat two SEC teams including Texas, whom he could not beat in 4 tries at Kansas State 3) Defeat #1 team Oregon at the Rose Bowl, decisively 4) Win a National Championship and 5) Sharpen and expand his QB skills at the highest levels against powerful teams, preparing himself to a career in the NFL
I'm a Purdue fan. I couldn't give two shits about Michigan or Ohio State or any of their whiny, entitled fans that think they are somehow great yet clutch their pearls any time they lose.
I live in Ohio and someone told me the same thing this guy said with a straight face. Stupid. I'm a hard core broncos fan, and I HATE the chiefs and raiders. I'd happily get swept by both if it meant a Superbowl. I'd LAUGH in winning. Super dumb to genuinely care about that game over the CHAMPIONSHIP
That’s not the same thing. No NFL rivalry is on par with Ohio State Michigan. The only pro rivalries that compare with that one might be Red Sox Yankees. MAYBE.
Im not “lunatic fringe”. Im an OSU fan who has never lived in Ohio (have an aunt there). And I agree with this caller….. maybe i dont agree that sports is all about hatred for the other - that’s not true. the truth is your team winning is usually the biggest thing. But “the game” is a huge deal…and alot will still want him gone unless he wins in that game a few times in a row at minimum
I've said it once and I'll say it again: college football is for America what soccer is for most of the rest of the world. Base instinct, irrational, and completely insane, and I'm here for all of it.
Who cares about the Michigan game? Seriously. This isn't the 70's anymore. Woody and Bo are long gone. This is no longer a one game season. These idiots who call themselves Buckeye fans need to WAKE UP. This "fan" that just called into the show is an absolute moron. He needs to cheer for a different fan. Buckeye nation neither wants or needs idiots like him.
What about the idiots who cry about flag planting and try to get legislation passed to make it a felony for college kids to celebrate on your field? Seems like yall got a lot of idiots to disown in that fan base lol
UM fan....The Game will diminish in this format. The memory of the real rivalry will fade with us older folks sadly. It will always be bitter but it's significance is diminished.
The fact that people care about regular season wins more than what kids come to college football to do (win a natty) is crazy to me. These fans are too wrapped up in ONE regular season game that doesn’t determine the outcome of your season. Yes the game still holds weight and it’s the best rivalry but to say that he’s not a good coach and that he’s still using that born on 3rd base thing is wild. He doesn’t have anymore of urbans recruits. He built the staff and the roster. How does he not get credit for any of that?
@ we are in a time where it doesn’t ruin your season. That’s a reality. The game still matters. But like I said, it doesn’t ruin your season anymore so it doesn’t mean as MUCH. And you don’t need to attend either school to know that
It's not that hard to grasp. You have 3 objectives at Ohio State. 1. Beat Michigan 2. Win the Big Ten 3. Win a National Championship It's in that order for a reason... You don't win a championship every year. It's just not feasible. Nick Saban has seriously poisoned your minds... On average an elite team/program will win a championship every 5 to 10 years. That's the very best programs. So the audacity of some folk saying this championship just wiped the last 4 years away and let's us just forget it, proves to me that this new generation of Ohio State fans are clowns. YOU NEVER ACCEPT LOSING TO MICHIGAN.... EVER. Those of you saying "the rivalry doesn't really matter anymore because Ohio State will always make the playoffs regardless" are spineless losers that are basically just saying "yes. We accept defeat. We can't beat Michigan. But hey, maybe we can rattle off a miracle like we did this season every season moving forward!" Do you hear how delusional that sounds? Having Ryan Day as a head coach is like being in a relationship with a girl who has cheated on you for the past 4 years... But as soon as you are about to break up with her, she wins the lottery. Are you still staying with her just because of a new found riches?
Uhhhh it’s in that order not because of priority, but rather the sequence in which those things occur lol. Your view is far too regional if you place The Game above a national championship. Ideally you win both but the natty is objectively more important.
@ReggieAprile nobody is putting the national championship below Michigan. Clearly you missed the entire point that I just laid out. You don't win championships every season. That's not realistic. It is realistic to demand to beat Michigan every year and win big ten titles. Ohio State has done all 3 of those things on a consistent basis well before Day took the job. It's not that hard to grasp. You have to beat Michigan. Period. That's it.
A lot of these pseudo, delusional, fair-weather fans who insist that The Game is all that matters seem to take their cue from Woody, who lo and behold each year around Thanksgiving time always said the same thing- but guess what- in Woody's day if you didn't beat Michigan the season was automatically over and you didn't- and except for very late in his run- couldn't appear in a bowl game, because there was only one that you were allowed to compete in and it was up to the wire services to determine if your win in The Rose Bowl was big enough for a vote. So in his mind the first and most important step was winning The Game. Do you really think, delusional fans, that Woody would have felt bad for winning this Natty after losing to Michigan? Woody would have almost certainly tossed his headset into the stands before celebrating his Gator-Ade shower.
OSU Michigan is in fact the best/strongest rivalry in all of sports. Yankee-Red Sox might be the only comparison but I’d still put Michigan-OSU ahead. 3rd I’d go UNC-Duke.
Sadly ther really are some of those fans around. I don't get it. Yes, every OSU fan wants to beat mich. I've been a fan since 1989 and lived thru the 90's and then the turn around in the early 2000's. They can feel however they want but the sad reality is the playoffs have diminished the overall value of thee game as we seen this year it did nothing to derail OSU's title run. It is what it is. For me, like Scott Van Pelt said, gimme a gold trophy over gold pants and I believe the majority of OSU fans feel the same. Afterall isn't the National title the ultimate goal for every college football team? How many other rivalry teams/games in football do you think would say gimme the rivalry win vs the title?
Anybody outside the rivalry calls us nuts, but real fans know that The Game is everything. I would go 1-11 each year if it meant beating OSU every year.
Oh my goodness, Ohio State fans man. YALL JUST WON THE NATTY. Just Be happy!! Do you know how many other teams would love to be in your position or even just being ranked in the top 5 every year? Day finally won you a Natty. He already beat Michigan in his first year. Just be happy and move on without trashing your coach!!
Caller Michael is right, Ryan Day does have this tendency. As soon as his team is 2 TD ahead. he orders his team to stop playing, both on Offense and Defense. He is always playing scared and very conservative in big games. There are many of us, Buckeyes, who share Michael's remarks and even more than what he said. Ryan Day lacks the Killer's Instinct. Against Michigan he was obsessed with proving he has a tough team, rather than using his excellent receivers to win the game. His mindset is almost always "play not to lose," NOT play to win or win big and decisively
Completely untrue. If you are "always" playing scared and very conservative in big games, then you don't throw a deep ball on 3rd and 11 with less than 3 minutes on the clock and the game on the line. You would run the ball and punt it away on 4th down and force Notre Dame to try and score. That would have been the conservative game call. Against Tennessee (one of the most important games in Day's career), Ohio State was up 28-10 in the 3rd quarter. They were up by 3 scores. But what happened next? Ohio State TD at the end of the 3rd quarter to make it 35-10 and then TD in the 4th quarter to make it 42-10. That's not "ordering his team to stop playing." Against Oregon, Ohio State was up 17 points in the 2nd quarter (up by 3 scores). What happened next? Ohio State TD to make it 24-0. Then another Ohio State TD to make it 31-0. Then an Ohio State FG to make it 34-0. That is called a killer instinct.
As an Ohio State fan, we do not claim Michael
No absolutely not. This guy claiming to be “hardcore”, when in reality he’s probably never left Ohio. Speaking as a born and raised Ohioan, as well as a lifelong fan and graduate of Ohio State, believe me this guy does NOT speak for our fans.
The rivalry absolutely matters, it’s such a part of our culture that we can’t escape it. But the greatest prize in CFB is a national championship. Shame on Rich (but also genius) for using this clown to further his narrative. I got so disgusted listening to this guy speak for our fans lol.

Winning the Natty is definitely the bigger prize. Congrats to the buckeyes for achieving the biggest of three goals. It also shows us just how magical that 2014 season was.

@@The_General_Zubasyes! Now keep that M flag planted in your stadium forever 😂
Scott Van Pelt had me laughing when he said, " you know what's better then gold pants? A gold trophy"😂
Day has cemented his place in OSU lore period.
I couldn’t imagine my coach being 70-10 in 7 years and not being in love with the guy. Goodnight y’all are insane
Buckeyes fan here, he is an A+ recruiter … so he has off the charts talent everywhere. Of course he’s gonna beat doormats and win 90% of the time. But in big big games. He usually (this years title run aside) comes up short
"Yeah he won a national championship, but...." enough said stop complaining
This is the equivalent of the dodgers winning the world series last year but still wanting Dave roberts fired because we lost the in season series to the padres. Insane
This guy is a joke. Probably didn’t even go to school there. Guy is living in the basement living and dying on message boards.
Doesn't matter if he went to school at OSU. I agree his assessment of Ryan Day is a joke, though. Ryan Day is a great leader and a great coach. For those who don't think so simply do NOT know athletics or leading young people.
As much as "The Game" means to me, I'd happily lose to TTUN every year, if that meant we also would win the Natty

Lunatic fringe. I know you’re out there. You’re in hiding.
This man isn't a true Ohio State fan. This man would rather beat Michigan then win a national title. Delusional
Technically, a REAL Ohio State Buckeyes fan wants BOTH!! But winning a Natty does feel a lot Better!!!
There’s tons of fans like that on both sides, dummy. I guarantee he’s more passionate than you’d ever imagine being
Alabama vs Auburn is a pretty solid rivalry
Ryan Day needs to get the hell out of that place.

This fake fans would rather acept 10 years for beating TTUN but losing in national championship. then to win 5 natty but losing 5 years to TTUN.

Against Oregon, Ohio State was up 17 points in the 2nd quarter (up by 3 scores). What happened next? Ohio State TD to make it 24-0. Then another Ohio State TD to make it 31-0. Then an Ohio State FG to make it 34-0. That is called a killer instinct.
Well ask the 6 top 10s they beat about that “killer instinct” ask Oregon and Tennessee who were beat by halftime about it.
