College Football Fans React To Ryan Day's Wild Michigan Game Admission
11/26/2024 01:24 PM
The Michigan-Ohio State rivalry is as heated as they come in college football and if you're wondering what it means to Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day — its more than you can imagine.
After dropping each of the last three matchups to "That Team Up North," a lot is on the line for Day this Saturday. If his No. 2 Bucks can't take care of business against a 6-5 Michigan team, it could be the end of the line for him in Columbus (despite a 66-9 record and national championship appearance).
Speaking on the matchup in the lead-up to this weekend's game, Day admitted that losing to the Wolverines is the worst thing that's happened to him outside of his dad's passing.
"We've gotta have that edge and we will because we know what's at stake. We've felt what it's like to not win this game and it's bad. It's one of the worst things that's happened to me in my life, quite honestly — other than losing my father and a few other things. For my family its the worst thing that's happened. So we can never have that happen again," Day said. "Ever."

Fans reacted to the coach's comments on social media.
"This certainly sounds like a man that would go to any length necessary in order to beat Michigan. Say, like, hiring a private investigator to look into why he's been getting stuffed in to a locker every year," a Michigan fan replied.
"Hahaha wtf is wrong with this loser.. Hope we curb stomp his [expletive].. This guy literally bought his team this year to try and win," another laughed.
"If Ohio State loses on Saturday, Lou Holtz is gonna go on a Linsanity run of trolling," College Sports Only predicted.
"4 years of pent up anger is coming out saturday," a Buckeye supporter said.
"I love Ryan Day's passion and commitment to Ohio State, but on a human level, this is heartbreaking."
Day will get his chance to exact revenge come Saturday at 12 PM ET on FOX. Ohio State enters "The Game" as 21-point favorites.
