Bill O'Brien to OSU it appears...quite a unique combo between Day and O'Brien. Should also help Corey Dennis in his coaching development. O'Brien can coach QBs.

Wow...that didn't age well. Corey will bounce back, and I'm sure he'll be in high demand. The guy can recruit and has been pivotal coaching quite a good line of QBs at OSU.

There were reddit rumors around their bowl game of coaches no-showing team meetings, etc. He was listed as one of the presumed AWOL coaches, so I was surprised this wasn't announced sooner if those rumors were actually true.

Yeah, I won't get into that as I have heard zero about that.

Reading OSU's fan reaction that Corey did a terrible job with Kyle McCord and he won't be a loss is hilarious. McCord finished with the #8 QBR rating in the country. Higher than Caleb Williams, Michael Penix, Drake Maye...all projected first round picks. He's also credited for recruiting some of the best offensive talent on OSU's roster. OSU fans are insane.

So what I'm hearing is you screaming ..

Yeah we have good coaches on that side of the ball but always room for one as good as you say he is. Heck, we could make him a get-bak.... ah, I mean an offensive analyst.

Bingo, would be great to already have him on staff once Buster or Weinke are ready to move up.

No truer words.

Great minds, yeti. Having your coords do well enough to move up is a good "problem" to have, but it's a problem we should plan for.

I wasn't gonna say that part out loud. It's like Beetlejuice or CandyMan. Say their names too many times and you end up in the transfer portal with Snow White here ..

Pretty sure she ended up going from P5 to NAIA.

Snow White was never P5.

I thought I was the only one bothered when they decided to put “The” in from of Ohio State, like they were the only university in the state. Still sets my teeth on edge when I hear it. It was such an SEC thing to do.

I know y'all Southerners probably don't have to interact with Buckeye fans that much, but I promise you, they are truly the u(sic)ga fans of the Midwest. They're annoying, insufferable, and obnoxious; plus they think of themselves as a way better program than they actually are.

That doesn’t bother me. I refer to Tech as The Georgia Institute of Technology all the time. It’s right.

tOSU folks are just really smug to me, like they’re very entitled to never lose a game.

The Georgia Institute of Technology has history, and, as such, is an accurate name.

Ohio State did a modern ad campaign to make “The” official. Like I said, it was an SEC type of marketing ploy. Give them credit, it worked, but still seems cheesy.

Snow White was never P5.

Fair. Scouting report wasnt kind to her.

Weaknesses
- Runs with a bad crowd
- Situational awareness
- Questionable nutritional choices
- Falls asleep in coverage

Definitely belonged at the NAIA level.

Their mascot is a tree nut. Hard to take the hill jacks too seriously.

Her fight song was questionable too.

They also took the whole matter to court.
Weird flex but in character. .

She gets a bad rap but its not on her. What could anyone reasonably expect from her with such a diminutive line? Those guys averaged 4’-5” and 102 lbs.
We all know that you can’t be ELITE with dwarf offensive linemen!

All of the Ohio State schools throughout Ohio are actually part of the Columbus campus, so there really is only one Ohio State University.

Bad form: you are accurately reporting the dwarves' sizes. We all know that the correct way to whinge about this is to under-report their physical stats, viz.: "those guys averaged 3'8" and 85 lbs."

Bill O'Brien to OSU it appears...quite a unique combo between Day and O'Brien. Should also help Corey Dennis in his coaching development. O'Brien can coach QBs.

One thing I find interesting is the spin on this. Check out this headline:

With Bill O'Brien hire, Ohio State appears to be declaring 2024 as title or bust | FOX Sports

Ohio State is certainly giving every indication – via both words and actions – that 2024 is capable of being one of those special seasons in program lore.

www.foxsports.com

Tech was rumored to be considering BoB for HC or OC at various points over the past 6 years. Had we hired him a year ago, show of hands - how many people think we would have gotten a headline like even "Georgia Tech is gunning for the ACC Championship and beyond with their new hire"?

Instead, I imagine there would have been lots of critical analysis of the hire in the press, much like went on on this message board.

I guess it's easy to be insufferable as a fanbase when the world continues to blow that much smoke.
