Ohio State's head coach Ryan Day found himself at the center of social media buzz over the weekend when an NSFW photo of him made the rounds online. Just before the anticipated face-off with No. 1 Texas on Saturday, a snapshot of Day wearing a black polo shirt stirred speculation about a possible new piercing near his chest.
The unexpected photo triggered a wave of reactions from college football fans. "Ryan Day is definitely in the Epstein files," one fan tweeted, while another chimed in with, "That’s a championship nipple ring." The comments kept pouring in, each more colorful than the last, as fans shared their surprise and humor.
“Didn’t expect Ohio State’s own Eminem to have their nipple pierced but here we are,” another user humorously noted.
Despite the online chatter, Day remained focused on the task at hand – leading the Buckeyes in their quest for another national championship. Since taking over in 2018, Day has maintained an impressive record, guiding Ohio State to a 70-10 count, with a 6-4 bowl game score.
In an interview on ESPN's "College GameDay," Day addressed the pressures of defending a national title. "There are so many things out of your control... What matters is what we do in the stadium," he shared, emphasizing the importance of staying grounded and focused.
The Buckeyes are starting their season with a new quarterback, Julian Sayin, as Day navigates the transition following Will Howard's move to the pros. Meanwhile, the coach recently paid tribute to veteran analyst Lee Corso on "College GameDay" with a custom Buckeye helmet, honoring Corso's final time on the show at 90 years old.
As the game against Texas unfolded, Ohio State took the lead with a 14-0 score, delivering an optimistic start to their season. With Day at the helm, the Buckeyes aim to continue their winning streak and defend their national title successfully.
