01:59I always circle this one on my calendar the day after Thanksgiving the day after the big game. I'm joined by Big Ev
02:06And Tate, thank you guys for joining today
02:11That was a lot of reading with the ads I do want to start this obviously the big game is the number one story I
02:20Don't know if you guys had a chance to read this from 11 warriors
02:25But it's an article. You're just gonna have to bear with me while I read it
02:29Because I want to make sure it's important Ohio State's. This is November 28th
02:352024 so that what's that?
02:39Four or five days before Michigan, Ohio State played this past Saturday the game, Michigan the biggest underdog in the history of the rivalry
02:47From 11 warriors, this was a good piece by Andy Anders
02:52Ohio State seniors came back to beat Michigan and get their chance this Saturday
02:58That was the headline and here we go. Bear with me. It's a little bit long, but it's important. It's important
03:03You guys hear this perhaps better than any other player on the Buckeyes football roster Jack Sawyer
03:10Understands, Ohio State's rivalry with Michigan
03:14Sawyer grew up in the shadow of Ohio State's campus in the Columbus suburb of Pinkerton
03:20Pickerton, he always wanted to be a Buckeye and despite national competition for services
03:26He was the first player to commit the OSU in
03:302021 recruiting class
03:31That's why the last three years of losses to the Wolverines have ached him
03:36So since he all but said he was coming back to Ohio State for a senior year in the lead-up to the
03:422023 Cotton Bowl
03:44Announces return officially on January 5th and throughout the Buckeyes offseason the number one reason he stated
03:51For his decision to stay at Ohio State for a senior season
03:56Was to beat the dreaded team up north
03:59This is him now a quote when I committed to Ohio State
04:03We had just played in a national championship Sawyer said at Big Ten media games in July
04:08Coming off three or four Big Ten
04:10Championship wins haven't lost to the team up north at eight nine years and then when my class gets here
04:16It kind of reverses and I think for me being the type of guy I am
04:21I think naturally I felt like we let let not only Ryan day down, but let the city down
04:28So for me, it's all about coming back and a lot of us. We all feel the same way, too
04:33Is that we can't we weren't gonna leave here without having one more shot at doing this the right way and leaving here
04:41Better than what we came for. So he said that before the game
04:45Obviously Sawyer is the poster child for the collective return of many of the top players from his recruiting class
04:52He played as big a hand as anyone in getting them to come back and perhaps the best among them to articulating
05:00Why like because of his central Ohio background and I'll help pave the way and the Buckeyes have bigger ambitions
05:07but the team's bevy of fourth and fifth year seniors who had NFL draft stock in
05:142023 are back to beat Michigan and beat Michigan alone. They get this chance this Saturday again
05:21This is Jack Sawyer talking now everything said on Tuesday of what a win in this game would mean
05:27This is the reason we come to Ohio State growing up in Columbus
05:32I think I've said it a thousand times
05:34but this is what you do for it these games and it'd mean everything this
05:38Program and coach day and all the guys that have been here for the last four years
05:43Sawyer has rivalry
05:45Appreciation ingrained in him, but even players not from the Buckeye State have come to grasp the full importance of this game
05:53Especially as they've lost the past three renditions
05:57Senior wide receiver a Mecca Abuka hails from Washington
06:00But he too has dreamed of a pair of gold pants to set things, right?
06:05He and Sawyer pass on NFL draft potential to get alongside JT Tumala
06:11Jordan Hancock Trayvon Henderson Donovan Jackson Cody Simon Denzel Burke
06:17Tyleek Williams Ty Hamilton and LeFan Ransom
06:20It would mean a lot of Bucca said it would cap off my Ohio State career
06:25Definitely the right way not that there's not more to do after we win this game
06:29But you come to Ohio State to beat the team up north and win a pair of gold pants
06:33Just handing the gold pants to my mother is a memory that I'm really looking forward to
06:40the return of these seniors came alongside the addition of
06:43several key transfers have yet to experience the the rivalry firsthand Sawyer said the
06:49Ohioans on the team in Ohio State's coaching staff were sure to
06:53Install the importance of the game in them from their first days on campus that rings true
06:58Listen to Will Howard who replaced Kyle Kyle, whatever his name is McCord
07:04Speak on the rivalry. This is now Will Howard speaking
07:08Just feeling how much this rivalry means and how deep it runs and how deep it cuts Howard said I mean
07:14You'll look around the building and see the countdown clocks for the moment. I got here was just different
07:19It was like you don't wear blue in the building. You don't say the M word like all this stuff is like, okay
07:25This is different. It's not a rivalry. It's a way of life
07:28With the pain of the past and the usual intensity tied up in the game
07:32There will be a lot of emotion at play when the Buckeyes take the field in the shoe this Saturday
07:37Channeling those feelings properly as much a challenge as the players that oppose
07:41Ohio State is probably one of the hardest things just because you know all the history all the tradition around the game Simon said
07:49One thing I've been trying to get is younger players just to play free
07:52Like don't let this wrap you up like it's still football when you come down to it
07:57So we just got to go out there and play our game and not be afraid to make plays
08:01Ryan Day said the key to tempering those feelings is to lock in one's preparation
08:06when you focus on the process and you focus around your team and
08:11You're with your guys in the woody. It certainly can avoid distractions this week
08:16They said I think that's what we need to do to say to this team and those leaders and these seniors
08:21Want to win this game? It'd be one of the biggest understatements of all time
08:25So they don't need any extra motivation
08:28now
08:30Continuing day is another source of motivation all four of Sawyer Simon
08:35Agabuka and Howard site has fueled their fires this weekend
08:38The Buckeyes head coach opened up this weekend about hardships rivalry losses have caused him and his family calling it
08:45Aside from his father's suicide that sucks
08:47I didn't know that was case when day was a child one of the worst things ever to happen to him
08:52He added we can never happen again. Let it happen again
08:55I think a big part for me to come back for coach day
08:59Sawyer said I think no one deserves this win more than he does and to see what him and his family have gone through
09:05In the last three years falling short them
09:08It made my decision even more clear to come back and he's a guy who gave me an opportunity to play here
09:13So I thought I owed it to him to come back and get this win for him
09:17That's what we plan to do Saturday
09:20It's no secret Michigan is at the same caliber of team as it has been the last three seasons
09:25And especially not of the national winning squad in
09:292023 we won the national title last year the Wolverines have five losses in
09:342024 thanks in large part to an anemic offense
09:37But none of it matters to Ohio State seniors who have suffered three straight losses against them every year
09:43It doesn't matter what the record is our record or their record Sawyer said it's going to be a war no matter what
09:50It's already been said this week, but a win against Michigan would be a catharsis for the Buckeyes entire program and fan base
09:57But except for day that's more true for the seniors who came back for another shot at the Wolverines more than anyone else
10:04It did just be everything Simon said you really can't describe it with anything tangible
10:09But just fulfillment a lot of areas enjoyed for the team and all the seniors that came back, too
10:15I walked to my meeting room and the countdown clock is always right next to me in my reading room. It's every day
10:24That article
10:27Really
10:29Does an unbelievable job and then you see
10:32Jack Sawyer at the end of the game
10:36And I like Jack so wasn't his fault, but he's like, I'm
10:40Not gonna let him keep planting that flag in the middle of our field, bro
10:46I'm so tired of these fucking guys. It's like the boys when you can't do anything against the bully
10:56I can't believe it like sitting here. I can I can be a liar and
11:03Say I was playing possum. I thought about going that angle, but I watched this Michigan team
11:10There's no other conclusion that we can have
11:14Except that Ohio State is afraid of us
11:19that
11:20You pee on yourself when you see us the maize and blue the winged helmet comes out
11:26And you pee and you poop and you don't know what to do. I don't know what else
11:32To come of this 47 and 1 I believe is Ryan days record in the Big Ten
11:37he's now 1 and 4 against us a
11:41team that I
11:43Knew we turned a corner like I thought we would cover
11:46win
11:48But I watched that game. I saw you guys settled for the three and then I started watching and this guy
11:55Who Tate I mean?
11:58Will Howard this will Howard that he's following Kyle McCoy around in this guy's pooping on himself. He's absolutely
12:05Pooping on himself some of the worst throws. I've ever seen our guy. I expect to make bad throws. He made him all year
12:14And then
12:16The fight that your team showed we own your field the shoe is ours
12:21Like if you you know that I think Baker Mayfield said, you know fight like that on the field is yeah
12:27We plant the flag. We own you we own you
12:32These guys and what makes it crazy like I was thinking Jack so if you're a pro athlete, there's always next year
12:40these guys these seniors
12:43never
12:48Never
12:50It
12:52But Jack Sawyer who grew up in the shadow of Columbus
12:56Hates Michigan with a passion his
12:59final image on the field is gonna be shaking somebody being like
13:04I'm sick of watching them plant the flag on our field. I
13:10Fucking hate these guys
13:26It's
13:28Like a Disney movie where the bully is winning
13:34You know and
13:35Jerome comes in and he's he's cocky and he's like bring it and then
13:44We just beat you guys and I was one before
13:49Now I didn't think the game like again. I didn't think we were gonna win hand up
13:53I guess I underestimated how afraid you guys are of us
13:57How much were in your head how much that winged helmet how much we own you and how weak mentally?
14:05Ohio State is and Ryan day is I
14:08underestimate all of it I
14:11Saw Tate's blog if
14:13You win the national champion. I like I know tastes like it don't matter
14:17I I think you want him to probably lose because I don't do fire a national championship coach, but
14:27I also saw Jack Sawyer at the end. He was talking to Mason Graham. He's like
14:34yeah, but your season's over I
14:37Wish Mason's like yeah, but you never beat us. Oh
14:41You're done playing your reason for living it's all there I read the article it's done
14:48You'll never beat us
14:50You're a disgrace to Ohio State
14:53Don't that senior class?
14:56my god
14:57It what it's what makes this rivalry so great. I guess you really throw out
15:04You throw out the numbers you throw out the record books, but this team Ohio State
15:09the greatest team ever assembled on paper
15:1320 million or whatever it cost. I
15:16I saw somebody say
15:20That they think
15:22Harbaugh did the great like what they call when you get in someone's brain like psyops of all time
15:27Like where he convinced Ryan day
15:30to be tough you have to run the football and
15:34My god, how many times are you guys gonna try to run it through the tackles for no?
15:39Yeah, I was sitting there. I'm like if they go hurry up. I think they're just gonna go right down the field. Nope
15:45Up the middle and we're running it up them. It's like an up the middle off, but we can't do anything else
15:52Shout out Mullings that run with the Cape and then Kyle McCord. Oh
16:00He's in Syracuse and he's getting asked about
16:04Ohio's like hey, did you see Will Howard the guy who stomped out?
16:10Indiana
16:11Had one of the worst games a quarterback could have two horrific interceptions
16:15How do you feel like it comes full circle a little smirk on his face through for like 300 yards three touchdowns
16:21beat Clemson I
16:25I
16:28Don't know what to say guys, I don't know what to say
16:35But I don't know what to say
16:3920.5. All right go in the playoffs do your thing. I mean you couldn't win it. There's no great teams, but you can't beat us
16:51It can't beat us. All right, let's surrender
17:08You
