I am beyond angered, for our program.
People say that last year angered our players. I think this year should anger them further.
The units are not presently nine strong. Some showed out and balled out, and other areas remain the chinks in the armor.
It remains of great importance that this off season is spent evaluating and adjusting what's wrong with those weaknesses, as they remain glaring. Yes, there is change in personnel, but really, some of it is approach and philosophy. Frankly, I am wondering if it's too much vegan-kumbaya, when "Silver Bullets" were always "meat-and-potatoes". And yeah, I just gave a veiled statement here..This isn't BigXII where you can get away with leaving elements that are defective alone. This is The Ohio State University, where margins for neglect and error are null. The secondary (no offense to those playing there) remains porous.
And it is angrily glaring, when one re-watches game-reel for The Peach Bowl. Georgia should NOT have been hoisting the hardware. It should have been OUR GUYS instead. And the anger from this should fester.
As for Buckeye support, in terms of NIL? All of this is something that both HC Day and AD Smith should consider. That's even if they are taking the NIL issues seriously. No serious hitters are going to part with their hard-earned money, on incomplete programs, and laisee-faire DCs that don't appear to be publicly taking it seriously.
That's right, Knowles. You're not presently worth the 1.9 Million Dollar per annum appraisal. I don't know if it's the "new age" crap, or the "Don Brown" act, but no one is serious enough to invest in NIL, if you're not serious about fixing what were glaring issues, naming-ly, the secondary.
