Just finished reading and listening to some reactions after Ryan Day's squad was curb stomped by Oregon (?). It's getting ugly in Columbus, couches will be afire soon.

Beanie Wells had a scathing review of their D, also heard someone blasting their lack of OL development, "fire these 3 coaches", etc. I know that we as Texas fans can get livid, and our expectations are lofty (and rightfully so), but these folks are rabid. Also read one analyst who said Smith played his last game as a buckeye - just because a competitive kid was pissed off. Jeez.

There’s a good chunk of that fanbase that has never seen Ohio State have a down season like this in their lifetimes and it shows, similar to Alabama fans experiencing life post-Saban and Oklahoma fans experiencing life post-Riley. They don’t know how to act. The signs were there when a fully healthy Ohio State blew a 20 point lead in the fourth quarter to lose to Texas almost two months ago.

It would not surprise me to see them drop at least one more game, most likely against arch-rival Michigan, or in a non-CFP bowl game and not win 10 games in a season for the first time since Luke Fickell’s interim head coach season in 2011. Welcome to the NIL/Revenue Sharing/Enhanced Transfer Portal era of college football.

These are the same fans who made Herbstreit move out of Columbus because of their dipshitery. I’m not surprised at all.

We shouldn't throw stones while living in a glass house.

Agree on a large group of their fan base has not experienced that all of sudden 2 game skid, all fan bases have their social media "hysterical fingers" as I call them. Lack of perspective is a killer and couple in with that the insane dynamics these days of portal and NIL, recipe for locos.

They are playing with a true freshman QB so some people are dumb.

Message board dorks

Sounds just like UT fans after Florida loss 🤘

They were asking for Sayin to get benched after losing to Texas…

There’s speculation out there that Jeremiah Smith will hang it up for the remainder of the season. Insane downward spiral for them if true

Sounds like some peeps on here screaming to fire coaches….. even when we win 🤣

May be Day's last college season anyway. He has designs on the NFL

True. A good portion of the Texas message board mafia was calling for Arch to be benched/transfer, Sark to be fired, Banks to be fired, Flood to be fired (still ongoing) etc etc just a few weeks ago.

How are multi year issues analogous to a 2 game skid? The above have earned objective criticism.

What a cesspool.

Th0ught our fans were fair weather. By looking at other fan bases , they are all the same.

Feels like what we went through at end of Mack era. Fought, climbed mountain, won, sustained for a bit, people get comfy and entitled, holes get poked, lost QB, lost team, lost building - regime change.
It's really, really hard to sustain excellence, especially in modern era.

🤘

What did they think was gonna happen when Sayin went down?

They were barely beating people with Sayin.

he also coached tight ends like someone else we know.

Ohio St's decline shows how good Sayin is and how vital he was to their success. They still have studs all over the field yet have struggled since Sayin went down.
