00:00My favorite thing that I've seen this week was the story about how much the Ohio State
00:08fans actually hate Ryan Day and want them to lose so that he gets fired.
00:15Yeah, it is amazing.
00:19And we've discussed this a lot.
00:20We've played all these clips of him still talking about the Michigan game, even though
00:25he's got Tennessee on his doorstep doing push-ups tomorrow night in the college football playoff.
00:30But yeah, the stories are out there.
00:32Their fans, they hate him.
00:34And some of them, you might say, are rooting for them to lose in the playoffs so that they
00:40can whack Ryan Day afterwards.
00:44Here he is, believe it or not, not talking about Michigan, instead saying that the Buckeyes
00:51are battle-tested to go on a run in these playoffs.
00:54Well, I think we've played some good teams this year.
00:59We've had three top five opponents, and we've gone, obviously, toe-to-toe with everybody
01:03and won two of them and came up short, obviously, at Oregon.
01:08But they have good players, too, and they've made plays.
01:13But we know what our capability is, and we want to make sure that we're playing our best
01:18game on defense, our best game on offense, and obviously taking care of the football.
01:22And then, obviously, on special teams, you've seen us really make a major impact in the
01:28second half of the season, special teams.
01:29So we have the capability to do that.
01:31I think you've seen that in some of those games, as well.
01:34I wonder what's going on behind the scenes in Columbus with this guy, because they do
01:40not like losing to Michigan, and it's been four years in a row.
01:46And I guarantee you that, I mean, the knives being thrown at this guy's back have to be
01:52just in large-scale numbers.
01:56There are backstabbers everywhere, I guarantee you, trying to get him out in Columbus.
02:01Meanwhile, he's trying to focus on getting his team ready for the playoffs.
02:05A lot of people think that they're the favorite to win it, to win it all.
02:10They think Ohio State's going to win it all.
02:12I still don't believe that.
02:14I really don't.
02:15If that happens, honestly, I'm going to be miserable.
02:18I cannot bear to watch them win a national championship after they can't beat Michigan.
02:24Honestly, I can't.
02:25And they lost to Oregon.
02:26I can't watch them win a national championship.
02:29I just won't be able to tolerate it.
02:31I really won't.
02:33I won't be able to tolerate it, either.
02:35It would be very tough to take.
02:37Look, I think the winner of this game, whoever it is, is going to be in trouble anyway against
02:43Oregon in the next round.
02:46Whoever gets through this.
02:47Now, this is back to seven and a half for Tennessee at the SHU tomorrow night.
02:52Forty-six and a half is the total.
02:55So the lowest total out of our four first-round games is in Columbus on Saturday night.
03:00Yeah, that's the thing.
03:04I think it's too many points to begin with with the spread.
03:08And I think both of these teams can score.
03:11So I'm not afraid of that number.
03:15And you know, what I'm afraid of is them going in there and laying an egg in the cold weather
03:20in Columbus at the SHU and not showing up.
03:24I mean, they don't play in cold weather either.
03:26And that's just all there is to it.
03:28And we'll see if they're man enough to go in there and dance with them.
03:31You know, a crappy seven and five Michigan team showed up because it means something
03:37to them.
03:38It has to mean something to Tennessee, like you're in the playoff.
03:41Here you go.
03:42Here's your chance.
03:43Hypo.
03:44Don't screw it up.
03:45I just cannot believe I can't even fathom the number seven and a half.
03:49That team's too good.
03:50They're playing.
03:51Yeah.
03:52I'm going to take a shot with Tennessee.
03:55I know it's it's true.
03:58But Ohio State has been pumped up all year long with stuff like this.
04:02You know, people you know that the books pump Ohio State up.
04:06I actually think that the key to this game is Tennessee's defensive line.
04:11I think they're very good and they're very physical.
04:14And I think that they're going to get in Will Howard's face.
04:17And that's going to cause a major problem.
04:19Maybe they can get themselves a turnover.
04:21Things like that.
04:22Short field.
04:23I'm going to go seven and a half with Tennessee and I'll be rooting for them to win the game
04:26outright along with it.
04:28I think it'll be a lot of fun.
