Speaker 1 (00:05):
Oh yes, yes, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I didn't know what you were doing over I thought
you were working on a pardon for Ryan Day.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
That's the thing.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
I think there are a lot of people right now
who are going, man, can he get one? Because there
are a lot of people just really going after him
right now. He is part of our best Buckeye coverage
and I'm bringing him up. Roy Hal Roy, welcome again
to the Mark Blazer Show. And how are you doing?
How was your Thanksgiving? How much food did you eat?
Speaker 5 (00:47):
Oh? Man, Thanksgiving was absolutely awesome. The hardest thing is
not about how much you eat on Thanksgiving is how
long can you go eating these leftovers? That's the debate. Like, know,
Thursday is pretty solid, but you know the food is
best today after thanksgiven that day after that, that's probably
when the food.
Speaker 6 (01:06):
Is the best. But then you got.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Saturday, Sunday. Here we are on Monday. Yeah, Like, if
you still eat leftovers on Monday, you probably need to start.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
To schedule that trip to the hospital. I mean, he
probably you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Like, yeah, you know.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
So I'm trying to figure out exactly what I'm gonna
do because I still got a couple of things left
but overall was excellent.
Speaker 7 (01:25):
Man.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Yeah, man, that's it, and that's the that is the
debate every year. It is a lifelong debate how long
can you eat those leftovers? Because I'm telling you, Roy,
I work with a guy back in rock radio a
whole long time ago who that guy would take it
to the limit. I mean he was I told him.
I would always tell him, like, man, you are crazy
(01:48):
with how you roll the dice. He wouldn't let anything go.
I mean we're talking, you know, Brad, when it has
mold on it, He's like, I just tear that part off,
man to keep eating, you know, or whatever. He is,
He's one of those people. But man, I maintain he
had a stomach of steel because this guy would eat
the hottest hot sauce where I would I would literally
like dip my pinky in it and taste it and
(02:11):
the end of my tongue would be numb for like
ten minutes. And this dude is like dumping it on
his food. And it was crazy the way. But but
that's what that kind.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Of reminds me. I always think of him.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Mo is my buddy, my partner in crying back when
I did rock radio. He was a guy who would
eat leftovers. I'm going, man, the regular mortal man wouldn't
even think about nine days after Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
You know. He's like, all you gotta do is smell it.
Speaker 7 (02:37):
You go, that's it right there, that's what he said.
It's it when the queen comes over, get here, smell this.
I know it's good. I don't need to take it. Go.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Yeah, listen, here's two things on that. Number One, that's
the type of guy you don't want to shake their hands.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
You fitz bump that guy.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
You don't, don't shake his hand, Smoke it with your foot. Yeah,
you fitz s bumped that guy. And number two, you
learn at an early age not the smell thing, like
in middle school, high school, you know, smell fingers and
do all that. It's disgusting and weird. It's just weird, man.
So like, no, you just use wisdom. You don't use
the smell test to determine whether or not something is
(03:14):
healthy or good to.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Right, right, I understand Roy Hall part of our best
Buckeye coverage joining us now, So all right, I didn't
speak to you before the game. We did not exchange
texts or anything to try to get your take on
so this is fresh for me. I didn't and if
you put anything out there, I did not hear any
of it. But your initial when the last seconds ticked
(03:39):
off on Saturday and you saw that the Buckeyes were
on the losing end of a thirteen to ten score
in our house versus that team up north, what were
your immediate.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Thoughts right there?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
And just keep in mind we only have about well,
we don't have a little more than an hour.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Like when you start.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Talking about this, you know, like there's a couple sides
of it that there's there's you kind of get as
a former player, you get split and half there's the
how do I feel as a player, how do I
feel as alumni? Then like how do I feel as
a human? Right And so, listening to coach Day's comments
before the game, if you remember what he said in
(04:16):
one of his interviews, he said, you know, losing three
straight to Michigan, it comes in second only to his
father passing away, and so it kind of lets you
know how weighty it is on him, his family, the
people that love him and people.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
That care about them.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
And from a human standpoint, immediately I went to, holy crap,
you know, how is my guy doing right? Like you,
just the weight of a million people or a million
two million plus in this city comes down on you,
especially when you lose a game in that fashion. Twenty
three and a half point favorite can't become a Big
(04:51):
ten champion now because we can even competing in the game.
Just everything that went into a twenty million dollar roster,
all the stuff that we can read on headlines. From
I'm a human standpoint, I always take to take time
to step back and think about how those those coaches
are feeling, how those players are feeling. You know, those
tiers are real tiers. That that burden and that that
anxiety is real, man, Like that stress is real, Like
(05:14):
it takes.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
Years off your life.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
And I'm not complaining for him, right, you make ten
million dollars a year, like you're built to be in
that position. They're compensated to be in that position. However,
I started thinking about that, man, like, no one wants
two million people pissed off at you, Like I don't
like when one person's mad at me, let alone two
million that can google your address, right, And so there's
that side. From a football perspective, it was hugely and
(05:38):
largely disappointing to say it, even like that's not even
putting putting in the right perspective. It was the worst
feeling ever to lose in that fashion, to watch and
then to watch what happened post game. It just didn't
represent who we are as buck Eyes. We did have
the opportunity to fight on the field, it didn't happen,
and so it was just an ugly look for us. Man,
(05:58):
here's the bad part about it overall, Blazer, is we
have to sit in this thing for two weeks. I
don't know if you were ever a little kid and
made a mistake and uh maybe like pee japants and
had to sit in it or got God forbid, you
took a dump on mistake, like you sharted or something,
you know what I'm saying, and you had to sit
in it, and you just had you on the school
(06:20):
bus and you're like, man, I got thirty minutes before
I get home. I know they could smell it. Like
it's just awful, bro, we gotta sit.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
At this We gotta sit in this thing for two
or two and a half.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
Weeks and play another football team now. Was terrible, man,
It's awful. Man, So hopefully, hopefully we get out of
this thing soon.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Man.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
So, Roy, would you defend the block oh, in the
middle of the field the same way? I feel like
based on an answer kind of what you were talking
about earlier, the answer is no, you would have not
done that.
Speaker 6 (06:49):
Listen.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
So coach Trussell, you know, it would have been a
couple guys and went, I'll defend that block over. But
when Trest found out who it was, you would have
been sitting right there. Would have been an immediate you
are know, like it would have been an immediate like
Coach Trust used to always say, remember who you are. Now,
we got some cats that would have went out there
and risked it all like cool. And maybe those cats
(07:09):
would have been dudes that maybe it wouldn't have been
suspended because they was the first round draft pick or starter.
With me, Bro, I wouldn't going out there to defend
nothing like Listen, I would take my abuse something. Listen,
we beat I have I got four pair of gold pins.
So my point is we didn't even have to be
in position to defend the middle of the field because it.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
Never happened to us.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
And that's where it's that's where it's your time to fight.
You've seen Carmen Ohio. You go in the locker room,
you hear about them planting the flag after the fact,
and you hold on to that at the following year, man,
like it's just one of those things. And now with
these guys making so much money and all of that stuff,
you risk injury. What if one of our main stars
had a got hit in the face with a helmet,
a broken risk or something because they wanted to argue
(07:48):
over a little flag?
Speaker 6 (07:49):
Man, do nobody care about that flag?
Speaker 5 (07:50):
You can't even plan a flag on the.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Field, turf field anyway.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
It's it's just a thing, man. So it's like, ain't
no sense to turn it into a gangster just because
you listen to King Vonn and all that crazy music. Listen,
he had an opportunity to fight when he was on
the field. They said take your lumps, go to the
locker room, feel that pain, and hopefully take it out
on the field in the playoff game.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
So after the hit on Will Howard, do you feel
like he was the same after that. I know that's
being floated out there, but you know, I can't help
it just being you know, observing and watching.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
It's just like what happened?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
And you can only kind of look back and think, man,
maybe something was happening there, because everybody kept saying why
are they handing it off over and over and over
and running into the strengths of a otherwise not very
strong Michigan team, Like why are they doing that? There's
so many things that were like a head scratcher, And
(08:44):
maybe I'm looking too much into it, but did you
think about that at all?
Speaker 5 (08:48):
I don't really think so, because that would be the
undermine like our doctors and trainers and all that. That
puts us in a tough situation to say that the
trainers allow one of our best athletes to go on
the field with a concussion, knowing just to be able
to beat that team up North. And so you open
up to a whole another can of worms if they
say he was fine, he was fine. I think it
was just a matter of best on best. You know,
(09:10):
last year they had you know, their cornerback Will Johnson,
who was actually on the field healthy last year, go
up against Marvin Harrison junior, and we didn't back down
at testing those guys. Now here's the thing, Will Johnson
had an interception last year too, when we went best
on best, I think they felt like our five or
so was better than their down four or their four
down linemen in their linebacker, and so it just didn't
(09:33):
work out that way. Like whenever coaches have a plan,
the plan is not to get stuffed two yards in
the backfield to get hit, you know what I mean
down low. You've got to be able to run the
football now, you know, as the guys that are sitting
on the couch, like throw the football. Yeah, I want
to see the ball go up to Jeremiah Smith Moore.
I want to see the ball go to a Mecca
Buca Moore. But the way that they were playing that
shell coverage, they literally just took away pretty much everybody
(09:54):
except Cartnell Tate, which is why he had six catchers
or five catchers in the first half, you know, so
we'll it looked the exact same in the second half.
I'm not sure why they pushed the ball up the
field if he was a problem throwing the ball players. Honestly,
I think they would have put in Devin or put
in uh, you know, somebody like that, but they didn't,
So I'm assuming we went with the best option.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Man, it just didn't work.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Out your thoughts on one hundred thousand dollars fine for each.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
School man, I ain't no money, man.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
That's what the average in IL do is right now.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
They laughed at that front.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Listen, what they said was we like seeing it's good
for ratings, showing they all fighting in the middle of field,
like like like crazy people Like one hundred thousand dollars
is no money, bro, Like there's no I When I
say no money, I mean I know it's a lot
to us, but it's no money to the university. They're
twenty million dollars roster, one hundred grand.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
They're like, oh right, we'll knock that out. That's cool.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Nobody got suspended, nobody got hurt. One hundred thousand and
they just showing this over and over and over and
over and over.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Here's the thing. The thing is, they gonna.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Show that fight at middle of field, but every Ohio
State Michigan game moving forward, in those pre game highlights,
they're like, got good content. We taught of shit on
David Boston and Charles Wild fighting at the game's great.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Now, Yeah, I'm absolutely in agreement with everything you just said.
And the one hundred thousand dollars. You know what, I
would rather see the Big Ten show me what they're
gonna do with it for me school. You know, I
think it's so it's a ridiculous penalty. The school don't care.
The school could write that check with their toenail. One
hundred thousand means nothing. But what is the Big ten
gonna do? We're trying to show you how to act
(11:25):
like good people, and this is bad. What is a
Big ten gonna do with two hundred thousand dollars? I
would love to see the league justify that. Yeah, what
they're doing with that money?
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Hey, they're gonna They're gonna spend it on leftovers.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Leftovers, and I'm doing hospital bills for everybody who five
days and to day leftover?
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Hey, uh what?
Speaker 4 (11:45):
And so you know the whole coach day thing. And
I know this is out there too, but he wins
a Natty. Somehow, some way, the buck Geyes end up
winning a national championship. I feel like the answer to
this because I put you know, I scribbled down all
forgiven question mark, I feel like the answer still is
most of most of Buckeye Nation is like, Nope, it's
(12:05):
not forgiven. Because this game is more important than a
national championship to the average Buckeye fan. Would you agree
with that it's more important than a national championship to
the average Buckeye fan?
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Man, I disagree, do you okay?
Speaker 6 (12:18):
Completely? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (12:20):
No?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I'm just swe to win.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
And if we win a national championship and lose to Michigan,
it does lessen it just a little bit. But listen,
if you if you a sixteen year old and you're like, hey, Dad,
I want a Tesla and he was like, no, son,
I got you an S five eighty Mercedes, You're not
gonna be like, oh man, It's like no, bro, Like
you didn't get exactly what you wanted, but you got
a national championship. So yeah, it's gonna be bittersweet. We
(12:42):
lost to Michigan, but we also get to host that
trophy and that's what it's about long term. Now, obviously,
our first goal is to beat Michigan, then become Big
Ten champions, then become national champions. We don't beat Michigan,
we can't beat Big ten champions. But if we could
be a national champion, are you kidding me? Like, you
still go down as a legend now you're still gonna
(13:02):
be legendary for being wanted for losing against Michigan. Right now, however,
you're gonna have a ring on your finger, and we're
gonna still do a parade and have a ceremony or
celebration in the shoe like you gotta one. At this point,
it's about hope. Like, listen, man, we lost the Michigan.
You either can get over it. You're still gonna.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
Watch the game.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
And when we win that national championship, don't turn around
so well we didn't beat Michigan. Like yeah, let them
people in Michigan say that. All right, we lost the Michigan.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
It sucks.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Feel that pain. Go sit in the room in the dark,
get angry, whatever you need to do. But when we
get on that field for the playoffs, if you're a
real buck our fan, not.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
An average one.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
If you a real one, you're trying to win that name.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
So what do you say to people who say coach
Day has gotta go after this one?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
What do you say to them?
Speaker 5 (13:45):
Listen, listen, I'm not gonna talk to because a lot
of those people aren't black people. So like, I know
a lot of it's just too many of y'all out here.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
Blaze, I am talking to all of them.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
I'm just talking to certain certain people. I'm not gonna
direct it at everybody, you know.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
I speak for a living. I ain't gonna get mad
at everybody, you know.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
But what I will say to people considering firing coach
Day for the offenses of losing four times in Michigan,
I would say, look at this overall record. I would say,
look at the fact that, yes, this was a terrible loss. However,
give us an opportunity to make a run in the playoffs,
Give us an opportunity continue to build this roster. Give
us an opportunity. What roster twenty billion dollars. Yeah, give
(14:25):
us an opportunity to continue to build the shift the
culture like college football is moving and let's see what
he can do. Who you gonna bring in, You're gonna
bring in Mike Bravey. Who you want to bring in?
Speaker 6 (14:35):
You want to bring in Eddie.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Do you want to go eight and four in their
first year? Or you want to go a nine to
three in their first year? Beat Michigan and not make
the playoffs, or beat Michigan and lose in the first
round just because you beat Michigan. You could be two
and ten beat Michigan. That doesn't make it a successful season.
Michigan's going home, they're happy they beat Ohio State and
we get to go on and try and within a
national title. So the whole fire Ryan Day thing, like,
(14:57):
I'm over that nonsense, and like who you want to
replace them with? Like who you want to bring in?
You're not bringing back trust, You're not bringing back Urban.
We've only had like five or six coaches here. Who
do you want to bring in just to beat Michigan.
This whole thing is bigger than just beating Michigan. You
got sixteen games you gotta win to win a national title.
Like we lost to Oregon Cool by a point or
two or whatever it may be. We ran through the
(15:19):
Big ten. Everybody was on board. We lose the Michigan
Not everybody want to jump ship. Listen, man, I'm about
people who are loyal. Loyalty is not loyalty until it's tested, man,
and we getting tested right now. So I'm staying loyal
and we're gonna keep rocking and rolling as long as.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
He's the head coach. I got his back. And if
they decide to move off other than it.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Maybe not all right.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
I'm gonna get him a sweater vest for Christmas.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
That's good. That's good.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
I think that might help. Psychologically.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Roy gonna need an excel and if it's going to
get over his chest, you might need a.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Two X.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
Coach.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
I wear a large on purpose. I wear a triple medium.
I need my stuf tight.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
He got that medium.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
What's smell like?
Speaker 6 (16:01):
That's terrible? Hey, hey, you should never have never had
that question to another.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Roy.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
He's part of our best buck eye coverage.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
We'll be listening man as the Buckeyes mounted charge here.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Hopefully they can.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Pull off the you know something really really special here
to kind of get that sour taste out of everybody's mouth.
But Roy, you're fantastic as always. Thanks brother for jumping
on with him. Appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
See you man.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Next time he's on. You need to point your sisters.
He's so shy as his introduction music right,
Oh yes, yes, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I didn't know what you were doing over I thought
you were working on a pardon for Ryan Day.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
That's the thing.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
I think there are a lot of people right now
who are going, man, can he get one? Because there
are a lot of people just really going after him
right now. He is part of our best Buckeye coverage
and I'm bringing him up. Roy Hal Roy, welcome again
to the Mark Blazer Show. And how are you doing?
How was your Thanksgiving? How much food did you eat?
Speaker 5 (00:47):
Oh? Man, Thanksgiving was absolutely awesome. The hardest thing is
not about how much you eat on Thanksgiving is how
long can you go eating these leftovers? That's the debate. Like, know,
Thursday is pretty solid, but you know the food is

you still eat leftovers on Monday, you probably need to start.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
To schedule that trip to the hospital. I mean, he
probably you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Like, yeah, you know.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
So I'm trying to figure out exactly what I'm gonna
do because I still got a couple of things left
but overall was excellent.
Speaker 7 (01:25):
Man.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Yeah, man, that's it, and that's the that is the
debate every year. It is a lifelong debate how long
can you eat those leftovers? Because I'm telling you, Roy,

man to keep eating, you know, or whatever. He is,
He's one of those people. But man, I maintain he
had a stomach of steel because this guy would eat
the hottest hot sauce where I would I would literally
like dip my pinky in it and taste it and
(02:11):
the end of my tongue would be numb for like
ten minutes. And this dude is like dumping it on
his food. And it was crazy the way. But but
that's what that kind.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Of reminds me. I always think of him.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Mo is my buddy, my partner in crying back when
I did rock radio. He was a guy who would

Speaker 3 (02:35):

Speaker 7 (02:37):
You go, that's it right there, that's what he said.
It's it when the queen comes over, get here, smell this.
I know it's good. I don't need to take it. Go.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Yeah, listen, here's two things on that. Number One, that's
the type of guy you don't want to shake their hands.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
You fitz bump that guy.
Speaker 5 (02:53):

one of his interviews, he said, you know, losing three

father passing away, and so it kind of lets you
know how weighty it is on him, his family, the
people that love him and people.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
That care about them.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
And from a human standpoint, immediately I went to, holy crap,
you know, how is my guy doing right? Like you,
just the weight of a million people or a million
two million plus in this city comes down on you,
especially when you lose a game in that fashion. Twenty
three and a half point favorite can't become a Big
(04:51):
ten champion now because we can even competing in the game.
Just everything that went into a twenty million dollar roster,
all the stuff that we can read on headlines. From
I'm a human standpoint, I always take to take time
to step back and think about how those those coaches
are feeling, how those players are feeling. You know, those
tiers are real tiers. That that burden and that that
anxiety is real, man, Like that stress is real, Like
(05:14):
it takes.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
Years off your life.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
And I'm not complaining for him, right, you make ten
million dollars a year, like you're built to be in
that position. They're compensated to be in that position. However,
I started thinking about that, man, like, no one wants
two million people pissed off at you, Like I don't
like when one person's mad at me, let alone two
million that can google your address, right, And so there's
that side. From a football perspective, it was hugely and
(05:38):
largely disappointing to say it, even like that's not even
putting putting in the right perspective. It was the worst
feeling ever to lose in that fashion, to watch and
then to watch what happened post game. It just didn't
represent who we are as buck Eyes. We did have
the opportunity to fight on the field, it didn't happen,
and so it was just an ugly look for us. Man,
(05:58):
here's the bad part about it overall, Blazer, is we
have to sit in this thing for two weeks. I
don't know if you were ever a little kid and
made a mistake and uh maybe like pee japants and
had to sit in it or got God forbid, you
took a dump on mistake, like you sharted or something,
you know what I'm saying, and you had to sit
in it, and you just had you on the school
(06:20):
bus and you're like, man, I got thirty minutes before
I get home. I know they could smell it. Like
it's just awful, bro, we gotta sit.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
At this We gotta sit in this thing for two
or two and a half.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
Weeks and play another football team now. Was terrible, man,
It's awful. Man, So hopefully, hopefully we get out of
this thing soon.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Man.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
So, Roy, would you defend the block oh, in the
middle of the field the same way? I feel like
based on an answer kind of what you were talking
about earlier, the answer is no, you would have not
done that.
Speaker 6 (06:49):
Listen.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
So coach Trussell, you know, it would have been a
couple guys and went, I'll defend that block over. But
when Trest found out who it was, you would have
been sitting right there. Would have been an immediate you
are know, like it would have been an immediate like
Coach Trust used to always say, remember who you are. Now,
we got some cats that would have went out there
and risked it all like cool. And maybe those cats
(07:09):
would have been dudes that maybe it wouldn't have been
suspended because they was the first round draft pick or starter.
With me, Bro, I wouldn't going out there to defend
nothing like Listen, I would take my abuse something. Listen,
we beat I have I got four pair of gold pins.
So my point is we didn't even have to be
in position to defend the middle of the field because it.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
Never happened to us.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
And that's where it's that's where it's your time to fight.
You've seen Carmen Ohio. You go in the locker room,
you hear about them planting the flag after the fact,
and you hold on to that at the following year, man,
like it's just one of those things. And now with
these guys making so much money and all of that stuff,
you risk injury. What if one of our main stars
had a got hit in the face with a helmet,
a broken risk or something because they wanted to argue
(07:48):
over a little flag?
Speaker 6 (07:49):
Man, do nobody care about that flag?
Speaker 5 (07:50):
You can't even plan a flag on the.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Field, turf field anyway.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
It's it's just a thing, man. So it's like, ain't
no sense to turn it into a gangster just because
you listen to King Vonn and all that crazy music. Listen,
he had an opportunity to fight when he was on
the field. They said take your lumps, go to the
locker room, feel that pain, and hopefully take it out
on the field in the playoff game.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
So after the hit on Will Howard, do you feel
like he was the same after that. I know that's
being floated out there, but you know, I can't help
it just being you know, observing and watching.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
It's just like what happened?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
And you can only kind of look back and think, man,
maybe something was happening there, because everybody kept saying why
are they handing it off over and over and over
and running into the strengths of a otherwise not very
strong Michigan team, Like why are they doing that? There's
so many things that were like a head scratcher, And
(08:44):
maybe I'm looking too much into it, but did you
think about that at all?
Speaker 5 (08:48):
I don't really think so, because that would be the
undermine like our doctors and trainers and all that. That
puts us in a tough situation to say that the
trainers allow one of our best athletes to go on
the field with a concussion, knowing just to be able
to beat that team up North. And so you open
up to a whole another can of worms if they
say he was fine, he was fine. I think it
was just a matter of best on best. You know,
(09:10):
last year they had you know, their cornerback Will Johnson,
who was actually on the field healthy last year, go
up against Marvin Harrison junior, and we didn't back down
at testing those guys. Now here's the thing, Will Johnson
had an interception last year too, when we went best
on best, I think they felt like our five or
so was better than their down four or their four
down linemen in their linebacker, and so it just didn't
(09:33):
work out that way. Like whenever coaches have a plan,
the plan is not to get stuffed two yards in
the backfield to get hit, you know what I mean
down low. You've got to be able to run the
football now, you know, as the guys that are sitting
on the couch, like throw the football. Yeah, I want
to see the ball go up to Jeremiah Smith Moore.
I want to see the ball go to a Mecca
Buca Moore. But the way that they were playing that
shell coverage, they literally just took away pretty much everybody
(09:54):
except Cartnell Tate, which is why he had six catchers
or five catchers in the first half, you know, so
we'll it looked the exact same in the second half.
I'm not sure why they pushed the ball up the
field if he was a problem throwing the ball players. Honestly,
I think they would have put in Devin or put
in uh, you know, somebody like that, but they didn't,
So I'm assuming we went with the best option.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Man, it just didn't work.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Out your thoughts on one hundred thousand dollars fine for each.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
School man, I ain't no money, man.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
That's what the average in IL do is right now.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
They laughed at that front.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Listen, what they said was we like seeing it's good
for ratings, showing they all fighting in the middle of field,
like like like crazy people Like one hundred thousand dollars
is no money, bro, Like there's no I When I
say no money, I mean I know it's a lot
to us, but it's no money to the university. They're
twenty million dollars roster, one hundred grand.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
They're like, oh right, we'll knock that out. That's cool.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Nobody got suspended, nobody got hurt. One hundred thousand and
they just showing this over and over and over and
over and over.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Here's the thing. The thing is, they gonna.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Show that fight at middle of field, but every Ohio
State Michigan game moving forward, in those pre game highlights,
they're like, got good content. We taught of shit on
David Boston and Charles Wild fighting at the game's great.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Now, Yeah, I'm absolutely in agreement with everything you just said.
And the one hundred thousand dollars. You know what, I
would rather see the Big Ten show me what they're
gonna do with it for me school. You know, I
think it's so it's a ridiculous penalty. The school don't care.
The school could write that check with their toenail. One
hundred thousand means nothing. But what is the Big ten
gonna do? We're trying to show you how to act
(11:25):
like good people, and this is bad. What is a
Big ten gonna do with two hundred thousand dollars? I
would love to see the league justify that. Yeah, what
they're doing with that money?
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Hey, they're gonna They're gonna spend it on leftovers.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Leftovers, and I'm doing hospital bills for everybody who five
days and to day leftover?
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Hey, uh what?
Speaker 4 (11:45):
And so you know the whole coach day thing. And
I know this is out there too, but he wins
a Natty. Somehow, some way, the buck Geyes end up
winning a national championship. I feel like the answer to
this because I put you know, I scribbled down all
forgiven question mark, I feel like the answer still is
most of most of Buckeye Nation is like, Nope, it's
(12:05):
not forgiven. Because this game is more important than a
national championship to the average Buckeye fan. Would you agree
with that it's more important than a national championship to
the average Buckeye fan?
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Man, I disagree, do you okay?
Speaker 6 (12:18):
Completely? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (12:20):
No?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I'm just swe to win.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
And if we win a national championship and lose to Michigan,
it does lessen it just a little bit. But listen,
if you if you a sixteen year old and you're like, hey, Dad,
I want a Tesla and he was like, no, son,
I got you an S five eighty Mercedes, You're not
gonna be like, oh man, It's like no, bro, Like
you didn't get exactly what you wanted, but you got
a national championship. So yeah, it's gonna be bittersweet. We
(12:42):
lost to Michigan, but we also get to host that
trophy and that's what it's about long term. Now, obviously,
our first goal is to beat Michigan, then become Big
Ten champions, then become national champions. We don't beat Michigan,
we can't beat Big ten champions. But if we could
be a national champion, are you kidding me? Like, you
still go down as a legend now you're still gonna
(13:02):
be legendary for being wanted for losing against Michigan. Right now, however,
you're gonna have a ring on your finger, and we're
gonna still do a parade and have a ceremony or
celebration in the shoe like you gotta one. At this point,
it's about hope. Like, listen, man, we lost the Michigan.
You either can get over it. You're still gonna.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
Watch the game.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
And when we win that national championship, don't turn around
so well we didn't beat Michigan. Like yeah, let them
people in Michigan say that. All right, we lost the Michigan.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
It sucks.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Feel that pain. Go sit in the room in the dark,
get angry, whatever you need to do. But when we
get on that field for the playoffs, if you're a
real buck our fan, not.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
An average one.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
If you a real one, you're trying to win that name.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
So what do you say to people who say coach
Day has gotta go after this one?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
What do you say to them?
Speaker 5 (13:45):
Listen, listen, I'm not gonna talk to because a lot
of those people aren't black people. So like, I know
a lot of it's just too many of y'all out here.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
Blaze, I am talking to all of them.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
I'm just talking to certain certain people. I'm not gonna
direct it at everybody, you know.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
I speak for a living. I ain't gonna get mad
at everybody, you know.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
But what I will say to people considering firing coach
Day for the offenses of losing four times in Michigan,
I would say, look at this overall record. I would say,
look at the fact that, yes, this was a terrible loss. However,
give us an opportunity to make a run in the playoffs,
Give us an opportunity continue to build this roster. Give
us an opportunity. What roster twenty billion dollars. Yeah, give
(14:25):
us an opportunity to continue to build the shift the
culture like college football is moving and let's see what
he can do. Who you gonna bring in, You're gonna
bring in Mike Bravey. Who you want to bring in?
Speaker 6 (14:35):
You want to bring in Eddie.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Do you want to go eight and four in their
first year? Or you want to go a nine to
three in their first year? Beat Michigan and not make
the playoffs, or beat Michigan and lose in the first
round just because you beat Michigan. You could be two
and ten beat Michigan. That doesn't make it a successful season.
Michigan's going home, they're happy they beat Ohio State and
we get to go on and try and within a
national title. So the whole fire Ryan Day thing, like,
(14:57):
I'm over that nonsense, and like who you want to
replace them with? Like who you want to bring in?
You're not bringing back trust, You're not bringing back Urban.
We've only had like five or six coaches here. Who
do you want to bring in just to beat Michigan.
This whole thing is bigger than just beating Michigan. You
got sixteen games you gotta win to win a national title.
Like we lost to Oregon Cool by a point or
two or whatever it may be. We ran through the
(15:19):
Big ten. Everybody was on board. We lose the Michigan
Not everybody want to jump ship. Listen, man, I'm about
people who are loyal. Loyalty is not loyalty until it's tested, man,
and we getting tested right now. So I'm staying loyal
and we're gonna keep rocking and rolling as long as.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
He's the head coach. I got his back. And if
they decide to move off other than it.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Maybe not all right.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
I'm gonna get him a sweater vest for Christmas.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
That's good. That's good.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
I think that might help. Psychologically.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Roy gonna need an excel and if it's going to
get over his chest, you might need a.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Two X.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
Coach.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
I wear a large on purpose. I wear a triple medium.
I need my stuf tight.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
He got that medium.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
What's smell like?
Speaker 6 (16:01):
That's terrible? Hey, hey, you should never have never had
that question to another.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Roy.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
He's part of our best buck eye coverage.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
We'll be listening man as the Buckeyes mounted charge here.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Hopefully they can.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Pull off the you know something really really special here
to kind of get that sour taste out of everybody's mouth.
But Roy, you're fantastic as always. Thanks brother for jumping
on with him. Appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
See you man.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Next time he's on. You need to point your sisters.
He's so shy as his introduction music right,
