Ohio State and Penn State fans, I'm dumb and I apologize for doubting the Buckeyes and Nittany Lions

[@heartbreak25]

Thanks for taking the L. I wish ESPN would follow your lead.

[@manniefaces]

ESPN is SEC they probably have backroom hand shake deal

[@Ethandavisbaker]

This is how people who know sports should handle a bad pick. It is hard to predict sports outcomes and I don’t recall anyone who is objective who thought all the games would be this lopsided. I appreciate your transparency and honesty. Given the history of the SEC in the playoffs and the similarities between Tennessee and Michigan, I can see your data points that got you to your picks. I’m a OSU fan and you got a subscribe from me. Keep putting out good content even if you pick against my team.

[@JamesDavis-dn3wo]

The Penn State defense is elite. Abdul Carter is a beast.

[@Ethandavisbaker]

Thank you for pointing out that ESPN is basically TMZ.

Ohio State is earning their respect. One game at a time. We are better than what the nation believes. We are coming for the natty! Go Bucks.😎

Friendly reminder: Kirk made his rant about the insane Ohio State fan base, while they were playing a team whose fans literally canceled Greg Schiano from being hired

[@kdogrock77]

Firing Day is crazy. Herbstreit is a clown tho. Firing Day is crazy because their is noone else to replace him with. Herbstreit is a clown because he wants names in the playoffs and not records or earning it.

[@Pcbdude82]

He talks about his love for college football. Yet wants to destroy it by adding all these SEC teams. As a Big Ten fan. I want to see ACC teams and Big 12 teams and SEC teams. And of course Big Ten teams. They start stuffing SEC teams in there just to please ESPN and their ratings. I guarantee you a ton of fans will quit watching.

[@a3gill]

Non-lunatic, massive OSU fan, and I couldn't agree with Herbie more. It needed to be said.

[@LavitosExodius]

Kirk loses some credit on that though as he played for probably the OSU coach that Day is compared to. I.e I'm sure the same was said about John Cooper haters and they were proved right in the end. End of the day the fanbase is right to be mad and dragging Day. For comparison Cooper had a 5 year stretch where he was putting out teams as good as Days but could not win the games that mattered. The coach that followed him magnified that as well as the coach that followed Cooper is Jim Tressel so they went from they may win 10 or 11 games a year and win a rare bowl game to oh look we went undefeated and won a natty. I'm not saying Day deserves to be fired but he does deserve some heat. The beat down of UT actually proves that with how bad the Michigan loss was.

[@shermbloom879]

This is really simple. The top of the SEC is not all the strong. Once people like you see this, everything will make sense. Penn State would win the SEC this year and they are the third best team in the B10. Why would I say this? Did you see Louisville nuke UK. Did you see Miami nuke Florida. Did you see Georgia Tech outperform UGa for three quarters of a game and just blow it. Did you see South Carolina barely beat Clemson. The SEC really isn't all that much better than the ACC this year. Once you come to that conclusion. OSU spanking UT, and PSU spanking SMU wasn't all that hard to see. The SEC could have sent Bama, South Carolina or Ole Miss to happy valley and they would have been leaving with a double digit loss, and if the QBs of those school threw two pick sixes. PSU would have been spanking those SEC teams by 20 to 30. I'll concede that UGa and Texas are better than SMU, but nobody else in the SEC is. SMU is better than Clemson, which makes them better than everyone the SEC has except those top two, just based on the fact that Clemson played South Carolina even and played what was the only close first round game at Texas. Did you notice Clemson was the 12 seed, and got out gained by SMU by about 130 yards in the ACC final. SMU played horribly to start the Clemson game and came back and almost won. They did the same with PSU and got rolled. Those three B10 schools are playing big boy football.

[@anarke216]

As a Buckeye fan, Kirk ain’t wrong. We have that part of our fan base. And like you said, so do others. Having that portion of your fan base is a good and bad. Good, they’re passionate and hungry. Bad, they’re sometimes the ones that bring a bad name. But, having that portion proves you have a top tier program and demand a standard of winning or improvement.

[@NatePuderbaugh]

We have that part of the fanbase. Friendly reminder: Tennessee fans cried and screamed and stopped Greg Schiano from getting a job

[@SharpByStriking1117]

He said 20%. How did he get that number? Does he believe that anyone who disagrees with him is crazy? The problem is he likes Day way too much, and he’s taking his possible firing personal. Because of that, he did something unprofessional. He attacked this fanbase on national tv, because he has a vendetta against a large group of fans that want to see Day gone. He made up an unrealistic number, without any evidence to back it up, in an attempt to make us look bad. And why? Because Day treated his son well during his heart condition. Well, I’m sorry, but this is business. He needs to understand that and act like a professional, and he also needs to stop attacking anyone who disagrees with him like the guys at First Take.

[@martinortiz6601]

The Ohio State fans have disowned Kirk a long time ago he’s just a puppet for ESPN and the SEC he’s a Skip Balis wannabe

[@toddb5537]

The Fairweather fans is a very small but loud part of OSU. The Rivalry game and Nebraska game where the outliers. This is what OSU has been all yr. Also Kirk bashed Indiana and SMU so where is the Tennessee hate? Not a single thing said about them or that lame ass schedule they played. 3 teams with 7 or more wins. The rest under .500!!! Cmon main.

[@Al-Rudigor]

There are no fair weather fans. Our fans love our team all the time. We rarely, if ever bash the players. The coaches know the standard before they take the job. Michigan, conference, and national. We didn't spring this on him. That being said, Day has enjoyed great support from the fans. We do not take coaching hires and firings lightly. Heck, John Cooper lasted 13 years. Don't give credence to Kirk. He turned on us when his son was at Clemson. He's the wrong person to address this. Go Bucks!

[@The.ARCHIT3CT]

Just got yourself a sub bro. Rarely see “pundits” taking accountability. As for KH… it wasn’t the comments about the “fringe lunatic” fanbase that rubbed everyone wrong. It was the incessant mentioning of Day’s job being in jeopardy. He tried to cloak it this time by acting like he opposes what Stephen A said, when in reality, he’s been hating on Day and this coaching staff since his kid signed with Michigan and no one (coaches) at OSU congratulated him. Herbie is salty AF right now and it’s seeping through his pours to where even Fowler was taken aback.

[@garyklyce713]

Location, Weather and Game Time all matter in the NFL, not sure why folks thought it wouldn’t in college football. For two decades the SEC essentially got to play for championships and big bowl games with a location and weather advantage over the B1G. The CFP has changed that and some of those games will be played up north. Welcome to the new college football, SEC better learn to play in the cold or get home field advantage.

[@johngetz8585]

Dude..PSU lost to Oregon and OSU by ONE score. There you go again sleeping on a B1G team. Like OSU-Michigan, PSU made the same adjustments.

[@keananrice9173]

As a Buckeye fan. That's fair honestly.

[@Pcbdude82]

Penn State held OSU to 20 points. And he thought SMU would go into happy Valley, on a 15 degree day and get into a shoot out 😂 PSU is up there with the elite teams. Sure might not have the passing attack. But they have two great backs and a elite D

[@NatePuderbaugh]

In fairness, yes Penn State only lost to OSU by one score, but it was a "Penn State can't do a thing to us so we're just going to sit on the ball to not turn it over" type of win. Once OSU got the lead it was over

[@B.T.32]

Typical Obnoxious SEC “expert” that thinks their conference is above everyone else. Bashing on Ohio State over a “rivalry” game where all bets and rankings don’t matter. Happens to the SEC teams too. Don’t forget Ohio State had the lead against Oregon multiple times and lost by 1 point and 1 second as they drove straight down the field setting up for a field goal. People seem to forget that.

You guys look at us like a fan I grew up here in Columbus Ohio 35 years old been watching Ohio State ever since I was 6-7 years old. I don't give a damn what Kirk talking about I want to see my team win the big games F**k everything else🤷😢

[@JoshJorg44]

The biggest difference and all the difference in the offensive for OSU was the scheme and playcalling. They played to their strengths first, which was the passing game, and then used that to open up the running game. Against Michigan, we didn't see that. We saw them trying to run between the tackles repeatedly and then when it got stopped, their were forced to pass in bad situations. This is exactly how I was hoping they would play. Pass first, constantly moving the ball around to all the great playmakers with well designed plays that get the ball out quickly. You can't cover all the talent they have without at least one getting wide open, and then they always have great check down options as well. If it took losing to Michigan again to learn the lesson then so be it and never go back to playing any other way than to just be yourselves out there.

[@eyeofapophis888]

Guess what…that “lunatic fringe” subsection of fans was 100% correct. The coaching staff who designed the game plan for Michigan got it wrong. Day failed to abandon that game plan when it was obviously not producing results.

[@generalchrome]

I’m an OSU fan and actually really agree with Kirk.

[@D4nielP]

Then you’re really dumb

[@jermainesmith6315]

I felt this OSU coaching staff was in the way of the offense. The way they played vs the Vols is how we visualized this team could be with the amount of talent. Far as Kirk, he say he try to be professional, fair and unbiased. But he let his own personal emotions get the best of his in those comments. Fans have the right to be upset with Ryan Day. He 1-7 in big games which 4 of them he were favored and now he lost to unranked 21 point underdog Michigan. We all took up and had his back many of times. So if this team was holding back for the playoffs, then I apologize as well.

[@dilldowschwagginz2674]

The only thing that led to this OSU team losing to that Michigan team was horrendous game planning on the Day's part (and their kicker missing two easy FG's). If you turn that offense loose with their passing game - it's a wrap. They roll straight to a national title

[@KB3TLE]

You saw the light (?) -- after 1 game ? I doubt that very much. > Christmas break for OSU & most of their 60,000 students went home ! Not there for Gameday or tailgating or the game like normal. (?) Timing for Tenn fans to get in was ideal because of Xmas. Never played in the shoe in Dec before. - - - I was happy to see some Tenn fans get to experience our traditions during a game - especially against their Vols !!! > Buckeyes gave them a real show.

[@davidroseman4917]

I am an Ohio State fan and I doubt the team in big games simply because Day always loses big games. They always have elite talent but have 2 NCs since 2002. They have been in position to win several more but usually lose the big games

[@WeThePeopleNotSheeple]

Kudos for being a stand up host

[@marcrichcreek7416]

As an OSU fan, I agree with Herbie.

[@BuckeyeShawn007]

We hated Kirk long before this. How about 2 years ago when he said two loss Alabama should be in the playoffs instead of one loss Ohio State. The dude never misses an opportunity to take a shot at Ohio State. He hates us. He literally sent his son to Michigan this year. Don't tell us to chill on Kirk. We can't stand him and that will not change.

[@kdogrock77]

We are all dumb at times... that makes us fans

[@docweidner]

I heard less, "I was wrong about Ohio State," and more, "Please Kirk! Harder this time, Daddy."

[@JoshJorg44]

Texas, ND, Georgia, and Penn State all have great defenses, but none of these teams have as high of an offensive ceiling as do Oregon and Ohio State. And Oregon and Ohio State have great defenses as well. Those first four teams would have to win because of their defenses most likely.

[@JoshJorg44]

Im not sure the Ohio State lunatic fringe grew recently, but what did grow was the number of fans that were starting to question whether Ryan Day could get the job done as head coach. That has been for good reason though because of some of the massive failures, particularly against Michigan. That game was the worst game plan and one of Ohio State's worse losses ever. Had they called the game the same as vs Tennessee, that game would have had a similar result. So I think there's a big difference between the regular lunatics and the additional number of fans that were upset because of the massive failure. However, with the way they turned it around vs Tennessee, he is already gaining back some trust, and if he continues the same way with his coaching, i believe he can not only completely gain back the vote of confidence in these fans, but also gain confidence in himself and become a way better head coach that he wants to be.

[@andrewgr144]

It's understandable for anyone who didn't watch a bunch of Buckeye games this year to look at the UM game and conclude that OSU had some glaring weaknesses. Inexplicably, they were mainly the result of Ryan Day's decision to prove how tough OSU is, and refusing to spread the field and get the ball to playmakers in space. This would have been forgivable if he had kept to that plan for the first half, then reassessed in the locker room and come out with a more normal game plan in the 2nd half. But for reasons I can't begin to understand, he kept at it, betting the outcome of the game on the ability of his offensive line, which was without its two best, award-winning players, to dominate a physical Wolverine DLine. The result accurately showed what the Buckeyes would look like if they tried that same game plan against another team with a big, physical DLine, but it showed very little about what they would look like if they were getting the ball out of Will Howard's hands within 2 seconds to edge players on screens and in-routes and crossing patterns, which had been their normal approach against good defenses all year. I think it's true that with their 2 best players out, the OL is still a potential weakness against a strong DL, with any game plan; and I very much fear that needing to win 4 consecutive games in the post season is going to result in another OL getting injured, which will simply doom them if they do make it to the finals, if not before. But that problem was made to seem much, much worse than it otherwise would have by Day's decision to stubbornly stick to "man ball" all the way through the UM game, long after the point it was clear that it wasn't working.

But now... it seems like he purposely likes to disparage OSU and the fans.

Was the Ohio State O-Line that humming or was the vaunted SEC front 7 just that mediocre. TUN’s DLine was way better at 6-6.

[@charlesthehammer4097]
