    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!

    Herbstreit is a joke. I realized it years back when he belittled high school recruits on Twitter for questioning who Ohio State should start at QB. I called him out, asked him to act like an adult, and like a proper DB he blocked me.

    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.

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 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

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.

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.

      @@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. Today he said that when he references the "Lunatic Fringe", he is talking about the people who send threatening messages to the coaches and players, and the fans who cause Ryan Day to have 24/7 armed security at his house. 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.

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.
