ND- OSU post game thread

[tussin]

I can’t get over that Ryan Day interview. Lou Holtz is 86 years old! Think about the elderly 85+ loved ones in your life and imagine using anything they say as the basis for a rant on national TV.

Coaching cost us that game.

MF better find a way to get the kids up for next week, because this isn't a typical Duke team. If we win next week than we are going to win out, with the possible exception of USC.

If we lose next week, we go 8-4 and lose to Clemson and USC.

Also, if you care about the thoughts of an 86 year old and/or need the thoughts of an 86 year old to motivate you and your team than you are insecure as fuck.

I hate Michigan. Like as much as I hate anything on the earth. But, I hope Harbaugh and company run over Ohio St. like they are Phil Leotardo’s lifeless head.

I'll be back in Saturday. But, I am not sure how much I am going to read/post before them. That one hurt as much as any loss since BC '93.

Piece of sh*t he is

I live in Columbus and he is not loved. 1-2 vs UM. Etc. The whole "Ohio against the world" victim culture is strong I guess and appeals to their fans.

 

[ThePiombino]

Agree with most of what you said but your last paragraph is bullshit. Freeman defended his end of game strategy in his post game presser. If he’s in denial about his failures he ain’t fixing what’s wrong.

I don't think what he said in the PC is at all significant. All that comes down to is a man taking responsibility for his team. He wasn't about to throw anyone under the bus in public. I will guarantee you that a mistake like that is never made again on a Freeman-coached football team. That was a painful lesson learned, but a lesson learned nonetheless.

 

[NDPhilly]

Worst loss of my 27 year life, considering I was too young to appreciate the bush push game.

That was the being said, it’s hard to not see the progress - ND outplayed an elite program for the first time since when? OSU should have won the NC last year if they convert a 4th down vs UGA in the semifinal.

Season isn’t over, win out and we’ll still make the playoff.

He’s definitely a POS but I also think it’s hilarious.

Freeman should do the same next big win he has. “JOHN COOPER… WHERE YOU AT YOU OLD BAG OF BONES???!!!”

He is a first class jackass. I had always thought of him more as a bumbling doofus type—but I guess I wasn’t paying close enough attention.

God damn, I hope the stars align somehow to see that team again this season.

 

[Kingbish01]

Walking out of the stadium last night was like walking out of a funeral. Biggest gut punch ever, felt every bit if not worse than BC in 93 or SC in 05. I honest to God felt bad for every fan there, as we showed up and showed out. I know nobody wants to hear this, but OSU fans that I encountered before and after the game...were all pretty great. What a bummer, but in the grand scheme of life....it's whatever.

Also, you have to practice fourth and short…

Many learning on the job coaching 101 basics

If we win out and they win the Big Ten we could well see them in the playoffs. And all we'd have to do is not beat ourselves again.

 

[Free Manera]

I can’t say it’s worse than Bush Push that was just a different level. USC was an absolute bohemoth for a few years already and an ancient rival.

And the game looked won on the play before. Fans were rushing the field. Then they put time back on the clock.

This is tied for second with the FSU game for me.

 

[PutuporShutup]

Much better chance osu improves more than nd does throughout the season… we played them at the right time and completely blew it

Hate to say it, but they're not letting an 11-1 ND in.

Isn't Ryan Day from New Hampshire? He should know the rest of the world doesn't even really think about Ohio.

 

[IrishTusker]

That's unlikely, I think. It's more likely that UM and OSU both go 10-0 going into their game, and the loser still gets in, like last year.

 

[PutuporShutup]

Hate to say it, but they're not letting an 11-1 ND in.

Most years I’d agree, our schedule is too good and tough this year, 11-1 with that loss and we’re in vs other 1 loss teams

 

[PutuporShutup]

Freeman’s slogan BS is getting old real quick too… “our full potential” over and over and over… it’s sounding stupid instead of a good coaching tactic after last nights bonehead job

 

[Sherm Sticky]

He’s definitely a POS but I also think it’s hilarious.

Freeman should do the same next big win he has. “JOHN COOPER… WHERE YOU AT YOU OLD BAG OF BONES???!!!”

You made me literally LOL. Thanks I needed this morning!

 

[Grahambo]

360 yards of offense on 7 real drives is actually quite good. The lack of points was an issue with execution and coaching. ND did not have a problem running the ball, as shown in the second half, and in retrospect they came out too pass happy.

Both 4th down calls hurt. Hartman got lucky on the first one but had no idea where the first down marker was. MF made the right call to go for it and you have to back him up and fight for that first down.

That second 4th down call…ugh.

 

[stlnd01]

If Michigan loses to Ohio State they'll have beaten who, exactly? We'd have wins over USC and Clemson and should have beaten Ohio State. Much stronger resume.

Fair enough. I guess the bigger concern would be other teams, e.g., Texas, taking that fourth spot.

Yep, take a damn timeout there if ever

Or a delay of game penalty punting, seriously, allowed them to set up block and us to rush punt and not have a good one

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Freeman and team need to apologize to Lou… everything Lou said about osu was accurate, and nd was dominating the lines to end the game then the staff on O and D went full moron and handed the game to osu.

Osu was physically soft but mentally tough enough to win, our staff and some players aren’t ready, they need to be identified and moved on from. We all know who they are

I was pretty shocked at what Lou said at the time, but looking back it was genius.
He truly fucked with Day and the whole team's head.


We won that game in every way, except unfortunately, the only one that matters.

And to know they could have cashed out on those tickets and saved that walk of shame.

They absolutely would let an 11-1 ND in.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

The team and Freeman are trending in the right direction.
How many heartbreakers did Kirby endure before finally breaking through at UGA?

I believe in Freeman.

 

[stlnd01]

Yep. Texas and FSU are more likely to box us out than a Michigan that loses to Ohio State.

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

Okay, I logged out right after the game and turned off TV seconds after the TD. So this 10 man ordeal I didn't even realize. That is so lame.
