Ohio State head coach Ryan Day takes the rivalry between the Buckeyes and Michigan Wolverines seriously. How serious is it to him?
If you were to hear him explain it, losing to the Wolverines is close to losing a loved one. He, unfortunately, has experience with that. Day lost his father when he was a young child. For him, the pain of losing to Michigan feels close to that pain — which is intense.
“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,” Day stated on “GameTime with Ryan Day” (h/t On3’s Steve Samra). “It’s quite honestly, for my family, the worst thing that’s happened. So, we can never have that happen.”
