...watching the post NC Championship interviews, the players are humble, polite, love their coach, talk about their standards, etc. Coach Day doesn't appear to be a jackass a'la Nick Saban. This game is going to be a nailbiter. Hopefully,  special teams don't blow it. 

Ryan Day is a class act all the way around. He is a very good human being. Urban Meyer was an elite HC but seemed to be pretty shitty off the field.

He's a Day Walker.  

Except we didn’t lose BOTH coordinators which is what i think will be their downfall against us. You’re never just going to be completely cohesive on both sides of the ball game one with two new coordinators. 

Ryan Day’s beard is colored on with sharpie

I was curious If Ohio State & Texas were mirror images of each other on the field so I did a deep dive on the recruiting rankings of all of the contributors on both sides of the ball to see how they match up.
