Oh, and one more thing @NYGoldenDomer.

Like you, I was still super pissed when I woke up, but those two posts had me laughing so hard, they made me feel just a bit better. So thank you for that! You’re the best! 😁

I try, brother

You think he's got stock in just for men beard dye? Just spray paint the shit douche bag. What a clown.

Wow, what a game that was. You could not ask for a better matchup, especially if you didn't have a dog in the fight. Games like this is what college football is all about.

Ryan Day didn't lose the game for Notre Dame. It's easy to use him as a scapegoat but perhaps we should look at Marcus Freeman for only playing 10 defenders on the last play. For goodness sakes, take the penalty and trot an 11th player out there.  Yes the difference of a half a yard is slightly easier to achieve but that 11th man might have just stopped OSU. I get its easier to take down Ryan Day for his comments but let's not forget there was 60 minutes of great football prior to those comments. This loss is on Freeman, not Day.

Every single time he was on camera I was riveted by the beard dye.  It was hypnotic.

@OFan you come in here after that and…. You’re absolutely right.  Rats.

I don't see any issues with it, as long as they're respectful, which @OFan has been.

I absolutely agree.

The reason I joined this is to hear another perspective. If I want to hear how great OSU is I would just stay in an OSU chatroom and hear all about rainbows and puppy dogs. I think its better to hear and converse with the opposition.  I think an unbiased approach is best. Overall I think both teams gained alot from this game. Yes, easy for me to say with a W however ND has shown tremendous growth since last year. I like your coach, obviously. If this game is played 10 times, I think its split down the middle. And to share an unbiased opinion of my own, I was cringing a bit when Day was going off on Holtz. Can I live with it, sure. It really doesn't impact much moving forward but if I had a choice if he said it or not, Id go with not.

And thank you Texas Domer. 

And one last thing, my brother in law (and best man at my wedding) is an '89 ND grad. We talk college football all the time. ND was my favorite college team at one point until I went to OSU.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t blame him I just don’t like him. FWIW he is in esteemed company with Kelly and Shaw in my hallowed halls of dislike.

 

I liked Tressel, I liked Fickell, I don’t like Day.

Lou Holtz is a legend and can say whatever he wants, but nobody should give him a microphone.  Been that way for years.

[InLikeFlynn 261]

@OFan Welcome to the board sir and I mean this with no disrespect but that "Ohio vs the world" comment is a joke.  Thats all.  Have a great day sir  🙂

[NYGoldenDomer 2,046]

Ryan Day is a friging clown.  And Lou Holtz was 100% right.  Day's teams are nowhere near what Meyer's teams were.  Hence ND running all over them the other night.  Hence Michigan running all over them the past two years.  Hence Alabama killing them in 2021.  I'll give OSU all the credit in the world for being in the mix every year.  I wish Notre Dame was as much as OSU was.  But once OSU gets there those teams haven't gotten it done either.  I hope ND gets another shot at OSU this year.

I agree with all of this!

And would love a rematch, because eff Day and his weak arse!
