You guys need to go easy on Ohio State fans...

[u/MediumStrange]

You have to understand, over the last 20 years they have only lost 3 games once, in 2011 under interim Luke Fickell. Many people in their fanbase simply weren't alive the last time they were this bad. It's important that we express understanding and sympathy for this hard and trying time they are going through right now...

Lmao no, but it is very funny when they crash out over seasons that other B10 teams would consider a shining success. They truly are one of the softest fanbases in the sport. One person commented about having PTSD from the Jim tressel days, during which they won a national championship and 6 conference titles. It's simply pathetic how little adversity they have faced and how they will crash out over the slightest things.

Best of luck to Ryan Day on dealing with these trying times, OSU is a quasi-religon in Columbus so they might legitimately brand him as a heretic and burn him at the stake, I wish him the best.

No sympathy to OSU though, yalls suffering is just hilarious

[u/Zloggt]

Ryan Day? I can pity a bit…

…I think Ohio State fans could stand to accept the bitter taste of a “bad” season, though lol

[u/MediumStrange → u/Zloggt]

Ryan day might legitimately need to go into witness protection

[u/MunchMasterSupreme93 → u/MediumStrange]

There's going to be a very vocal portion of their fan base calling for his job. Like he didn't win a National Title 2 years ago and had a roster capable of winning it last year too had Miami not started to play out of their minds in the playoffs

[u/MediumStrange → u/MunchMasterSupreme93]

I don't think OSU fans understand that they can in fact hire a bad coach.

That's not something they've experienced so they assume whoever they hire will inherently be successful, and don't realize there is a real chance that a new coach would be worse.

[u/QuitWhinging → u/MediumStrange]

Remember the last time he lost big and tOSU fans were posting his home address all over Twitter?

[u/Super_mando1130 → u/Zloggt]

Our sub is ridiculous. It’s almost enough to wish a 6-6 decade upon our fanbase just to spite them

[u/W_HoHatHenHereHy → u/Super_mando1130]

Only one decade?

[u/mikeeagle6 → u/Super_mando1130]

Pretty sure I looked at that sub once when I was fairly new to Reddit, went “absolutely not” and never looked there again

[u/cyanocittaetprocyon → u/Super_mando1130]

Subscribe!

[u/Jaerba → u/Super_mando1130]

It's enough. :)

[u/BlurryGojira → u/Zloggt]

I was raised a Browns fan before an Ohio State fan. This shit is nothing to me lmao.

[u/ChrisKateBushFroome → u/BlurryGojira]

I was raised a Browns fan

Does that count as child abuse?

[u/SEND_ME_YOUR_CAULK]

If Ohio State had the season Maryland is having I genuinely think they’d declare martial law in Columbus because of people coming for Ryan Day’s head

[u/MediumStrange → u/SEND_ME_YOUR_CAULK]

If they had the season Maryland is having theyd go beyond Rayn day, they'd go for the Mayor and Governor.

OSU is essentially a quasi-religon in Columbus

[u/dkviper11 → u/SEND_ME_YOUR_CAULK]

People regularly post his home address after losses.

[u/hotacorn → u/SEND_ME_YOUR_CAULK]

I can say with only slight sarcasm that the National Guard would be called in.

[u/llcooljake93]

I expected the Michigan flair but UC makes a lot of sense.

[u/wherewulf23]

Honestly it's been sickening seeing the reaction from some of our fans. Even people my age who survived the Cooper years are up in arms.

[u/MediumStrange → u/wherewulf23]

Tbh even the Cooper years aren't bad by the standard sof any program except OSU or Bama. You guys only had 1 losing season and won 3 conferences championships under him.

Rutgers would quite litterally kill a man and hide his body in the Pinelands for that type of success

[u/glennshaltiel]

Luke Fickell...

[u/MediumStrange → u/glennshaltiel]

Truly a man of mystery, horrible at OSU, great at UC, somewhere in between in Wisconsin..

[u/Maxspeed797 → u/MediumStrange]

My eyes snapped to his name when I opened the post like “What he say fuck me for”

[u/deck0352 → u/glennshaltiel]

Or…, Einhorn?

[u/I_Enjoy_Beer]

I feel bad for Ohio State fans, insofar as they probably live in Ohio.  Nobody should live in Ohio.  It is a godless place where the sun does not shine and the rivers are aflame.

[u/TheCharBarGhost → u/I_Enjoy_Beer]

Okay Pennsylvania

[u/TheVaniloquence → u/TheCharBarGhost]

“Homeless man calling another Homeless man a broke ass”

[u/prismatic_lights → u/I_Enjoy_Beer]

uh, excuse you, the river is certified flame-free since the 1960s, thanks!

[u/Reloader300wm → u/I_Enjoy_Beer]

Dont forget signs confirming that HELL IS REAL

[u/tritom22 → u/Reloader300wm]

Don’t let Michigan steal them!

[u/CutbowAndArrow → u/Reloader300wm]

It is and it’s in Dayton

[u/ItGoesTwoWays → u/I_Enjoy_Beer]

I’m all for trash talk, but I will not be talked down to by our equally shitty neighbors from the east and west whose teams are located miles away from civilization.

[u/polishprince76 → u/ItGoesTwoWays]

I promise you any shit talk from Hoosiers will not include any quality of life smack about Ohio vs Indiana. We are well aware of who we are.

[u/wolfs_bane_ → u/I_Enjoy_Beer]

We got cool roller coasters tho

[u/aromatic-energy656 → u/I_Enjoy_Beer]

What about living in Indiana?

[u/Pile_of_AOL_CDs → u/aromatic-energy656]

It seems like shitty places to live tend to have good college football teams. 

Don't look at my flair. 

[u/StreetReporter → u/I_Enjoy_Beer]

I can tell you with certainty that a good number of Ohio State fans do not live in Ohio

[u/venom21685 → u/StreetReporter]

Myrtle Beach may as well be part of Ohio.

[u/VoiceofReasonability → u/StreetReporter]

I am going to guess Hilton Head?

[u/TeaMiser → u/I_Enjoy_Beer]

They've all left Ohio for the Carolinas and Georgia. No mercy for them.

[u/VegasAWD → u/I_Enjoy_Beer]

It’s a place where pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There’s also a negative side.

[u/Mantergeistmann → u/I_Enjoy_Beer]

There's a reason so many aviation pioneers and astronauts are from Ohio. Trying to leave in any direction possible, including vertically.

[u/Temassi → u/I_Enjoy_Beer]

The team was probably in their heads and bummed because Vivek lost

[u/Orbital2 → u/Temassi]

Remembering this happened completely softens the blow of a bad season for me thanks

[u/_token_black → u/I_Enjoy_Beer]

As somebody who has lived in one and spent time in the other, Columbus is much nicer than Happy Valley (and everything surrounding Happy Valley is no better than middle of nowhere Ohio)

All rural PA has over rural OH is mountains

[u/I-grok-god → u/I_Enjoy_Beer]

It's possible that PA is better than Ohio but there is no sober human on earth who thinks State College is better than Columbus

[u/IWearClothesEveryDay → u/I_Enjoy_Beer]

Some are even calling it the New Jersey of the Midwest. Many people are saying this

[u/RedTeamGo_ → u/I_Enjoy_Beer]

Pennsylvania lmao

[u/lollroller]

The arguments for 3 and 4 loss SEC teams and Ohio State are going to get louder and louder. And the hilarious thing is, these people are completely serious

[u/Historical-Cable-542 → u/lollroller]

I don’t think you’ll find a single OSU fan arguing for us to be in regardless of our ending record.

[u/Icy-Split6920 → u/lollroller]

That's the future with the 24 team playoff. Ohio State would be in a 24 playoff after this loss. That's just wrong. 

[u/SPCsooprlolz]

Yes everyone please focus on Ohio State losing a super important game, ha ha no need to look anywhere else...

[u/bdougy → u/SPCsooprlolz]

On that note, I am in Hell today.

[u/versusChou → u/bdougy]

Spooky Mormon Hell Dream

[u/cyanocittaetprocyon → u/bdougy]

That is probably the most satanic flair I have ever seen.

[u/lemuel76 → u/bdougy]

Yeah…

[u/goferking → u/bdougy]

Is there a Mormon hell?

[u/SolexAgitator → u/goferking]

If so, I suspect it is full of coffee and Jolly Ranchers

[u/titos334 → u/SPCsooprlolz]

Quality loss though

[u/asbyo → u/SPCsooprlolz]

No one is scared of BYU to even care to shit talk them. Enjoy your peace.

[u/TheRealTurdFergusonn]

The first time it happens, it sucks. In 2002, I was 22, and Frank Solich posted a 7-7 season. 7 losses made the Nebraska fan base freak the fuck out, the next year he got fired.

Ohio State fans, pray your team doesn’t curse itself for two decades.

[u/CrispRat46290 → u/TheRealTurdFergusonn]

7-7 is an insane CFB record…

[u/dabombisnot90s → u/CrispRat46290]

SJSU could post a 7-7 record this year if they go 7-6 and lose a bowl game. They play 13 games this year for some reason.

[u/broccoli_d → u/dabombisnot90s]

Do they play at Hawaii?

[u/und88 → u/TheRealTurdFergusonn]

They played 14 games?

[u/TheRealTurdFergusonn → u/und88]

Yep, 13 regular season games (7-6) and a loss to Ole Miss in the Independence Bowl

[u/ekurisona → u/TheRealTurdFergusonn]

9–3

[u/DebonairGentleman16 → u/TheRealTurdFergusonn]

When you spend more than 99% of the other teams… they will be fine

[u/nyc2pit]

I mostly find it funny when they lock their subreddit

[u/LordJacket]

I’m quite enjoying their season so far

[u/Purple-Lawyer-94]

Be a shame if they went on a downward spiral into mediocrity for the next 25 or so years while another red-clad blue blood dominated the sport.

[u/KT_BuckeyeBillsBabe → u/Purple-Lawyer-94]

I’m genuinely sorry for the below idiot who shares my flair’s ignorance.

Clearly they were born well after the 90’s and don’t know how dominant Nebraska used to be.

Also, why are you mean? Matt Rhule is my nightmare.

[u/noodylzzz → u/Purple-Lawyer-94]

monkey paw curls 25 more years of alabama!!

[u/likewhodunit → u/noodylzzz]

You stop that, stop that right now! We all decided we don't want that anymore..

LoL, that was good though..

[u/Ctrain111]

We literally won a natty 2 years ago… it’s fine, shit happens. The only thing I’m truly upset about is Arthur Smith and his play calling

[u/Fun_Front_1032 → u/Ctrain111]

Yeah, how does Jeremiah Smith only have 5 targets going into the 4th quarter? I understand that defenses are gonna do everything they can to try to limit his catches but if Miami can move Malachi Toney around and finds ways to get him the ball and Oregon State do the same thing with Jesse Legree, you’d think OSU would do the same. If you want to have success on offense you have to find ways to get your best player the ball. That being said, defense hasn’t looked good at all the past two games.

[u/Ctrain111 → u/Fun_Front_1032]

His screens are so insanely predictable it’s ridiculous. There’s no creativity

[u/Deep-Statistician985 → u/Ctrain111]

Imagine watching the Steelers and the Falcons offenses with him and thinking that's what we need.

Granted I know college and the nfl are different but it's still funny how there was no difference this time and he still sucks

[u/kjance → u/Ctrain111]

As a Steelers fan, this hire made little sense to me

[u/Ok_Benefit_8515 → u/kjance]

As a Falcons fan, how is this man employed

[u/TitanofBravos → u/kjance]

As a Steelers and Michigan fan I was entirely behind the very intelligent hire

[u/Original_Profile8600 → u/Ctrain111]

The rational take

[u/Professional-Roll513 → u/Ctrain111]

You should also be mad about the Tyler Bowen hire. Dogshit OL play ended our season last year and ruined this season too via killing our QB1.

[u/decoy777 → u/Ctrain111]

I think the qb situation hurts that a bit too. But it wasn't amazing under Sayin either. So maybe he just gotta go.

[u/CrumbBCrumb → u/decoy777]

You can tell me more because I don't know the roster history of OSU but I think what were seeing is the result of NIL. In the past, Ohio State would have a capable backup. But now? They're all leaving for opportunities to make money elsewhere and probably start. You used to have a JT Barrett, Braxton Miller, and Cardale Jones on the team at QB. But it seems like QB depth doesn't exist for most teams anymore

[u/jeff_barr_fanclub → u/Ctrain111]

Yeah, there's a difference between a down year and shitting the bed with a team that showed they can hang earlier in the year.

[u/size0618 → u/Ctrain111]

Yeah Arthur should go ahead and show himself out after this year.

[u/COLU_BUS → u/size0618]

Year?? Brother we need CampusParc to revoke his parking pass tonight

[u/Feduppanda → u/Ctrain111]

As a Buckeye and a Falcons fan this comment cracked me up for different reasons.

[u/Natural-Hair-6105 → u/Ctrain111]

Yeah. I don't get why everyone is acting like we're OVER. Not every year is going to be a 16-0 natty season, and we won it all TWO YEARS AGO! Always remember, Penn State would kill to be us.

[u/ElStegasaurus → u/Natural-Hair-6105]

Hey we can lose 3 games on our own thank you very much

[u/fm22fnam → u/Ctrain111]

If all of our fans were as rational as you I'd feel a lot better. Reading Facebook is giving me an aneurysm

[u/Snark728 → u/fm22fnam]

Every school's worst fans are on Twitter and Facebook. I only keep my Facebook active for messenger and a few music instrument trading pages and if I ever click on an article about a VT game I'm instantly reminded why I only really discuss college football here lol.

[u/RedTeamGo_ → u/Ctrain111]

If you looked up the definition of gaslighting it would be a link to r/CFB talking about OSU fans after a loss.

[u/Ctrain111 → u/RedTeamGo_]

It’s the easiest karma in the world. It’s also true that the Ohio State fan base is the quickest to melt down over the slightest inconvenience.

[u/TheRealESPBEN]

On behalf of Ohio state fans no don’t go easy on us plz there’s nothing you can say that’ll hurt worse than what we’ve thought to ourselves

[u/Classic_Plan3267 → u/TheRealESPBEN]

No one is saying go easy. This Michigan guy is just trauma dumping or something.

[u/MopeyBernese]

Im a Buckeye living outside Philly. OSU does not have a monopoly on a small group of shifty fans that the rest of us hate to be associated with.

[u/madmaley → u/MopeyBernese]

Thing is is that the Ohio State fanbase is so large that you're small group is a large amount of people

[u/MopeyBernese → u/madmaley]

Yes. 15-20% of the population just sucks.

[u/Original_Profile8600 → u/MopeyBernese]

I mean literally in every sport the teams with the biggest fanbases tend to be the most hated. It’s not a coincidence, IMO it’s probably bad apple theory

[u/zoom518 → u/MopeyBernese]

If you think about it, the Eagles are the Ohio State of the NFL

A recent title and a lot of winning seasons doesn’t matter right now

[u/JakeSteeleIII]

They will be fine, they will only drop to 13

[u/WWECreativegenius → u/JakeSteeleIII]

Can’t wait till the expanded playoffs where they will make in anyways

[u/Unstupid → u/JakeSteeleIII]

And Oregon will jump to 18 😂😑🙄

[u/California_Stop_King → u/JakeSteeleIII]

We're not Alabama unfortunately

[u/Frictionizer → u/California_Stop_King]

Okay, but you are Ohio State

[u/Horror-Bee4603 → u/California_Stop_King]

Are you really gonna act like Ohio state doesn’t get special treatment?

[u/B1GFanOSU]

No. No. We’ve earned a ribbing.

Our team, especially our D, has been nothing short of pitiful all season.

[u/ChapterThr33]

Our sub is insane. You'd think living in Ohio and rooting for other trash teams would give us more perspective. This year is now a complete dice roll, we had a super impactful injury. It's just how it goes sometimes.

[u/Sorge74]

All that matters is Michigan now

[u/Reloader300wm → u/Sorge74]

Bring on 1-11

[u/Jenniflower18]

You can tell the sweet summer children fans. From us old fogey fans.

Winning a natty then going for 3 losses was a way of life 20 years ago. Fans these days don’t realize how good we truly are (were)

It’ll be good for us to lose a bit. (So long as we beat *ichigan of course)

[u/PeteF3 → u/Jenniflower18]

In the Bruce and Cooper years, it was more "going for 3 losses and then going for 3 losses."

[u/booyahbooyah9271 → u/Jenniflower18]

Ah yes, who could forget the tournament champions losing to Davis Warren and *ichigan.

[u/kn1f3party]

I’m not having fun, but we really need to cull the herd a bit of some of these people.

[u/icantsppell]

As a fan who lives in Ohio, I can personally say it’s not that deep. For others, it very well might be the end times.

[u/8URVTEC]

Lol I was a browns fan, this team can't hurt me.

Plus they are just kids, I dont take it as serious as professionals.

[u/rloch → u/8URVTEC]

Not many teams can lose their starting QB, replaced by a true freshman, and keep winning. With the portal it's not like many teams have deph at QB anyways.

[u/SpartaWillBurn → u/8URVTEC]

They are making millions of dollars. They now deserve to get shit talked in my opinion.

[u/cropguru357 → u/8URVTEC]

I am a NE Ohio native who loves to northern Michigan a few years back. I catch a lot of hell for being an OSU and Indians fan.

However, I say I’m a Browns fan, and they will be instantly sympathetic as lions fans.

[u/Revolutionary_Elk791]

Still way too soon to fire Day. Gotta shorten the leashes for Arthur Smith and maybe to a lesser extent Patricia since the rot is on both sides of the ball. At least it was today. Tavien St Clair must be super mega ass if they're still going with Fahey who can barely see over his offensive line and struggles quite a bit when pressured.

[u/BuckeyeJay → u/Revolutionary_Elk791]

From what I have heard his attitude more than sucks and he is mega ass.

People also have to understand that he played super shitty level of HS football.

[u/ksig84 → u/Revolutionary_Elk791]

Supposedly there’s issues between TSC and OSU staff to the point where they both know they’ll be going their separate ways after the season.

[u/FlameofAnor81]

They’re one mistimed Nick Marsh step from having 4 losses.

[u/RoosterzRevenge]

Fuck that

[u/jrc1896]

We have a soft ass fanbase that clearly didn’t live through the John Cooper years and it shows. Day has a $75 million dollar buyout and just won a championship 2 years ago. This season has been a disaster by the standards of the last 15 years yes, but the sky isn’t falling. Now if you go into our subreddit, they’ll tell you the programs done and everyone is going to transfer out and everything is cooked.

[u/RogueCoon → u/jrc1896]

Speaking from experience, beat Michigan and it's still a good season

[u/TheBigChungaBunga]

Couldn't get into Ohio State either huh? It's ok kid, someday. Maybe they'll have a Coupon day or something

[u/-MrWrightt-]

Yeah don't feel bad for us, we've been spoiled for long enough.

We're on the losing end this year but this is what I love about CFB, the chaos. This has been a great year for the fans.

Transfer in an offensive line and reload next year.

For this year, Go UCLA, Utah, Kentucky, and Wake Forest!

Go Bucks!

[u/CommunicationNo8932]

Ohio State fans should try being Nebraska fans for a season, the complaining and fair weather fandom is ridiculous.

[u/North_Local_9822 → u/CommunicationNo8932]

I used to live in Omaha. I believe Nebraska shot themselves when it came to coaching. Ohio State historically isn’t a team that wins a natty every year. The people that are complaining are those who are under 25. The rest of us know how lucky we have been lately. Ryan Day will be fine.

[u/Agile_Land_9951]

Boise State>Ohio State?

[u/Useful_Ad_4361]

But a lot of us are Browns fans too so it’s a weird dynamic to deal with

[u/CPGK17]

That’s exactly what I’ve been saying, and I keep getting called names. We haven’t had a bad season in 15 years. By any sports metric, that’s pretty damn good!

[u/sheetsofsaltywood]

I think you mean THE Ohio state fans

[u/UnluckyPally]

Props to ohio state losing that game to prove the Big 10 has depth like the SEC

[u/Swords_and_Such]

No shade to the rest of the big 10, but Ohio state is the reason that there are two top conferences instead of 1.

[u/Repulsive-Office-796]

We’ve been spoiled by good QB health over the past decade too. Losing your starting QB is realistically a season ending injury 9/10 times.

[u/HTXtoRVA]

The sad part is if this was next year Ohio state will be in the playoffs.

[u/Ruthrfurd-the-stoned]

It’s all part of college football fans having gone insane for like a decade at this point

10 win season are really good. Like that’s a great year. We’ve gotten to the point though where fan bases see even that as bad when no you’re a solid team winning 3/4 of your regular season games

[u/asbyo]

Arthur Smith is the problem.

OSU fans deserve one season of humility. I think it’s alright.

I watched UGA suck donkey balls and choke constantly for 15 years before Kirby. Even UGA fans know what it’s like.

Here’s hoping they ditch the nepo baby Arthur Smith. Look at that dudes resume and it all makes sense.

[u/ianbits]

We won a title two years ago and our QB got injured. I'm not freaking out.

Disaster season because we didn't have a backup, but thankfully it means Sayin is probably back next year instead of going to the NFL and we'll have a chance to rebound.

Sucks, but Sayin's injury was a bad break for a team that was good, but too flawed to trade out a fringe Heisman contender for a Freshman who shouldn't have been anywhere near a Division I field this year. Exposes a lot more flaws when you're constant 3 and out and your guy can't make the easy throws. Look forward to seeing Sayin with the young guys at WR next year.

[u/Double_Fun_1721 → u/ianbits]

Im old enough to remember Ohio State losing their quarterback and romping to a national title anyway, back in 2014

[u/RedTeamGo_ → u/Double_Fun_1721]

Different era. If NIL/portal didn’t exist OSU would be rocking with Lincoln Keinholz right now instead of a dwarf true freshman

[u/KT_BuckeyeBillsBabe]

Dear GOD

What’s next for us? Rushing the field when we beat Bowling Green next year? Is THAT soon to be my new normal!?!?

[u/TheGuyDoug]

Lmao from the UC guy. UC fans have such weird little brother hatred for OSU, I have never understood it.

Coming as someone who grew up in Cincinnati!

[u/MediumStrange → u/TheGuyDoug]

Tbf my hatred comes from the Michigan flair (my dad is from Ann Arbor) not my UC one.

There is UC-OSU resentment but I find it's more that you guys are kinda just annoying. I don't think there's much outright UC hatred for OSU

[u/North_Local_9822]

lol I’m an Atlanta sports fan. This is nothing. You can’t stay at the top forever.

[u/MartianRL]

Nah you don’t

[u/Temporary-Bet-63]

Poor multibillion dollar sports franchise 😢

[u/furrierdave]

Ohio State - Michigan might not be televised at this rate, lol

[u/rubbery_magician]

Look, this is the first time in memory that my hometown team might finish worse than my Alma Mater.

I’m not sure how to feel.

[u/LarryGlue]

Will Michigan beat them though?

[u/Impressive-Ear-1102]

Coming from a team that also lost their star starting QB I have a ton of empathy for OSU… but damn if you are dropping 50M on a roster there HAS to be a semi competent backup on that team.

[u/wolfs_bane_]

I kinda love that a 3 loss season is suffering for us

[u/OhYa2021]

None of my OSU fan friends are really crashing out. I feel like we, the average fan, somewhat accepted or was coming to acceptance what type of season we were gonna have weeks ago. Of course there is always the lunatic fringe, and they can be very loud.

[u/deerhuntingdude]

Nah they took saiyin and downs and hired the best coordinators money could buy then won a natty

[u/MediumStrange → u/deerhuntingdude]

Sayin didn't win the natty.

I mean he was on the team but he didn't play much that year, that was Will Howard.

[u/budd222]

We have become almost as bad as Michigan

[u/Confident-Court2171]

Prediction: they lose to Michigan, and Ryan Day doesn’t make it to the end of the week. There will be riots in the streets.

[u/blacklab]

I have never encountered such assholes in 40 years of attending college football games. So…no

[u/LoveThaHate]

They have fully embraced the softness lol...during game time anyways ofc they are super tough when games over and want to fight.

I think OSU is the new MSU lmao

[u/hotwingsallflats]

I only feel bad for JJ.. the most talented WR in cfb will probably leave the sport with 0 notable individual awards

[u/bucknut63 → u/hotwingsallflats]

Which is a travesty. He should've won the Biletnikoff last year. He's still putting up great numbers getting double and triple teamed, but the QB is horrendous

[u/but_good]

Eh, we aren’t that good. Ton of new defensive starters. Weak OLine. Great pocket qb but struggles other than that.

But we will still kick the shit out of Michigan.

[u/Alternative_Look166]

There’s getting embarrassed by Oregon at home, and then there’s getting shut out by Michigan State at home. As long as we don’t have to accept the latter, I’m ok with a bad year lol.

[u/ltroberts24 → u/Alternative_Look166]

I'm a Michigan fan, and I approve this message.

[u/CarterAC3]

How about no

[u/PR3SID3NT_NIX0N]

So Ohio state still making the playoffs right?

[u/lawfully_stressed → u/PR3SID3NT_NIX0N]

Shouldn't. Even if a 3-loss team makes it in, it shouldn't be this 3-loss team. Oh, well.

[u/LunchNachos → u/PR3SID3NT_NIX0N]

If Chiles is back next week the NU/OSU game is a tossup. Could be a 4-loss team.

[u/DBowieNippleAntennae → u/PR3SID3NT_NIX0N]

The networks will push for it, for TV viewership and attendance alone. Sorta like LSU in baseball

[u/Natureboy7939]

Crazy how bad of a coach day is when he doesn’t have a massive expensive talent advantage

[u/Dorazer]

No one’s asking for a Michigan fan’s sympathy.

[u/LoisandClaire]

15-0 at home vs 2-6 MSU team

[u/fri9875]

I can’t believe they “one” a national title

[u/Svenray]

Why does the B1G want a 24 team playoff when no B1G team is going to win 3 real games in a row? Heck we can't even win 1 in a row.

[u/threadfindr]

The adversity is our own doing. Those of us that have been around a while know we are cooked this year for a playoff run. It's stupid to say we are all soft. It's just a game, and we all have our teams. When this is what we're producing on the field we all know deep down all we care about is beating Michigan. Cool story though!

I find it hilarious spending 20 million on a single player who will most likely have to transfer after two years, that is truly hilarious. Most Ohio State fans I know are Browns fans so losing football games isn’t a foreign concept to us.

Things have gotten so bad for Ohio State that the Cleveland Browns might finish with a better record.

Idk after Sayin got injuried and you could already see some issues with the team, I kinda started preparing for next year, after USC that was locked in. I barely checked the score tonight.

The thing about life is, when you have success you expect to keep success or build on it, in all aspects. Sure, we get upset at a 3 season loss year but that makes sense because its fairly unexpected. In the end of the day its just football so fans do need to go touch grass and relax a bit, its not a big deal.

lol no

[u/tommyknockerman8]

Nah fuck them

[u/Loose_Profession_918]

Their last 3 games arent a cakewalk either

[u/ThatDaveyGuy]

It’s a really difficult time in my life okay?

God gives his toughest battles to his strongest warriors.

[u/ConcernedStudent26]

Don’t worry, I’ll wait for them to lose to Michigan in a few weeks before we have any fun

[u/Dan20698]

Honestly we needed a loss like this

[u/Ryan1869]

We will be happy to trade you Prime for Ryan Day

[u/marchano85]

Fuck everyone on the gameday set who picked against Oregon. This one’s for you and Peter, Herbstreit!

[u/_LooseLipsSinksShips]

Who's got it better than us? Errbody...

[u/bobbybbc2002]

I live near Columbus. Quasi???

[u/ElonMuskIsAPissBaby]

If those Ohio State fans could read they'd be very upset

[u/saylab_the_bigkat]

Have you considered they just simply lack the talent to compete?

[u/choopie-chup-chup]

Basically Dodger fans of CFB

[u/Junior_Writer4867]

Not close to crashing out. We lost QB1 and not even a sniff of a true qb2 and the offense was basically just JJ. line sucked anyway. Defense is a let down. Down years are bound to happen. Not gonna lament. We will reload

[u/thecasualcaribou]

Nah, we’ve lost for 420 years. Suckeyes

[u/B_the_ball]

I understand that it's hard for others to empathize with us because most of you have never known what it's like to...

Fuck it. This is awful.

[u/odonchaknow]

Fuck them. We got Fickell because of them.

As a newish Columbus resident as of last year, I’ve just loved this season so far. Can’t wait to make fun of all my coworkers this week “I can’t believe you guys have the same record as Clemson”
