Is it me, or does McMid seem shook in this interview clip?
Based off his play and body language all year it doesn’t surprise me Kyle McCord said this in an interview.

(Not to mention the COMMENT itself— “At the end of the day, it’s just a football game.”)
November 23rd, 2023 at 12:07 AM ^
That will get you run out of Ohio!!
November 23rd, 2023 at 8:18 AM ^
It's just their way of psychological coping with the new paradigm. When they were winning easily it was a huge rivalry. Now that they're on pace for 100 point over ~5 years, "it's just another football game". They need to focus on their new rivalry with Rutgers.
November 23rd, 2023 at 10:20 AM ^
No doubt. I live here and can absolutely verify that they’re nuttier than squirrel turds. If they lose on Saturday it’s gonna be like one gigantic black clouded funeral set up over the state.
November 23rd, 2023 at 12:04 PM ^
I cackled with glee at this comment.
November 23rd, 2023 at 12:10 AM ^
Nervous, and ignorant to the energy, emotion, and craziness surrounding this game. He is going to get slaughtered.

Well, he’s not wrong. I live in Ohio, and a lot of their fans would be best served by remembering this. Still—you don’t say it out loud on the week of The Game. Like I just did. 🤣
November 23rd, 2023 at 9:53 AM ^
Isn’t that kind of reminiscent of Harbaughs first 3 years here when he said in 2015 “it’s just another week.” And we know what happened then.
November 23rd, 2023 at 11:18 AM ^
Isn't that what Rich Rod said about OSU -- at the end of the day, one game isn't more important than another. That didn't work out so well for him.
November 23rd, 2023 at 11:45 AM ^
Clearly he does not actually live in Ohio. Must be taking his classes virtually.
November 23rd, 2023 at 12:07 AM ^
McCord seems like the kind of dude who will be little more than an obscure trivia answer in 10 years. I'm sure he'll make a great analyst for Toledo or Youngstown State.
November 23rd, 2023 at 12:40 AM ^
could also be a therapist
November 23rd, 2023 at 12:48 AM ^
Well if that is the case, he'd have my respect. More power to him.
November 23rd, 2023 at 2:05 AM ^
sorry but i was trying to make an arrested development joke and it backfired
November 23rd, 2023 at 3:12 AM ^
An analrapist?

Haha my apologies! I haven't seen much of Arrested Development and I think highly of therapists!
November 23rd, 2023 at 2:03 AM ^
Massage therapist*
November 23rd, 2023 at 12:08 AM ^
Saturday circa 4pm should hopefully be a very good time.
November 23rd, 2023 at 12:08 AM ^
Proper body language...
November 23rd, 2023 at 12:21 AM ^
You’re reaching.
November 23rd, 2023 at 8:12 AM ^
May be a reach but he doesn't exactly look poised and confident, but I suspect your point is that he isn't used to speaking under a white-hot spotlight. (Few are.) So maybe don't read too much into it.
November 23rd, 2023 at 12:13 PM ^
True. Don’t care what he says on camera, just hoping his lack of experience is exploited by our defense.
November 23rd, 2023 at 8:47 AM ^
Buckeyes in the comments don’t think he’s reaching. Calling him John Cooper’s son and whatnot.
November 23rd, 2023 at 12:49 AM ^
Already preparing to lose. He will not be defined by this loss, according to him.
November 23rd, 2023 at 1:03 AM ^
Exactly this. Spot on imo.
November 23rd, 2023 at 1:04 AM ^
Stroud said the same things. This is Ryan Day's program: a bunch of mercenaries who are just marking their time. They don't have the culture we have.
November 23rd, 2023 at 9:00 AM ^
The difference is Stroud was insanely good.
November 23rd, 2023 at 10:20 AM ^
Stroud was and remains elite. He is going to break the OSU QB curse in the NFL in a big way. Which is why it's insane that we were able to contain him as well as we did for 2 games.
November 23rd, 2023 at 1:13 AM ^
It’s just you and your laziness. You took a clip from twitter that is clearly cut off mid response and assumed the worst to fit the narrative you want to believe. We rail on others for doing that to us, so do better. If you listened to the whole interview, or even just the full response to this question, the statement is not close to being “shook”. It is simply press conference speak for, “I’m focused during the week on preparing so we are ready come game day.” This is a nothing burger.
November 23rd, 2023 at 2:57 AM ^
Exactly.
The need some people have to post every last thing they encounter to this board in order to draw guffaws has been another unfortunate side-effect of Stalionsgate.
November 23rd, 2023 at 7:14 AM ^
We rail on others for doing that to us, so do better.
100%. the posts here are exactly what you’d see at RCMB, and i mean exactly. change the names and you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.
November 23rd, 2023 at 8:17 AM ^
Yes, but you said it yourself: it was a very “mid response”
November 23rd, 2023 at 8:22 AM ^
Totally agree. When I watched the clip a couple of days ago I thought man he’ll get crucified by the OSU wack jobs for saying it’s just a game and sure enough that’s what you saw in the YouTube comments. You are talking about a kid with a bunch of microphones jammed in his face. I also thought that our fan base wouldn’t try to shred the kid for his interview unlike those on eleven warriors who quite frankly are deranged to a large degree. Unfortunately, it appears we have some of those same type A over the top commenters as well. Thank goodness though its nowhere near as bad as 11w.
November 23rd, 2023 at 1:15 AM ^
Maserati Marv and Honda McCord.
November 23rd, 2023 at 1:35 AM ^
Hondas are reliable.
November 23rd, 2023 at 8:03 AM ^
Xaserati Xarv and Honda XcCord.
FIFY
November 23rd, 2023 at 1:17 AM ^
McMid? Do better.
November 23rd, 2023 at 8:57 AM ^
For real, MidCord rolls off the tongue way easier
November 23rd, 2023 at 1:23 AM ^
No way to tell anything from that. Come on, lets keep posts to something actually informational or interesting
November 23rd, 2023 at 3:09 AM ^
It's actually surprisingly refreshing for someone over there sounding like an actual human. He is right.
November 23rd, 2023 at 12:16 PM ^
Hey this is much better and smarter than “I didn’t see anything in the film that impressed me” or whatever that guy Denzel said. That was just a dumb thing to say.
November 23rd, 2023 at 5:57 AM ^
If I were coming to Michigan Stadium, playing against this defensive line, against this defense, in the biggest game of the season, possibly the biggest ohio vs Michigan game ever, knowing this team and fanbase is really pissed off, I'd be shook too.
November 23rd, 2023 at 7:00 AM ^
Kenneth Grant and Mason Graham can give you pause as a QB and focus on big picture.
November 23rd, 2023 at 7:33 AM ^
they might even make his life pass before his eyes.
November 23rd, 2023 at 7:11 AM ^
how’s about we agree as a group to not, under any circumstances, use “mcmid” as a joke name? pun nicknames are the wet farts of heckling in general, and they almost never work (the brilliance and simplicity of “cryin’ ryan” being the current, obvious exception), and you shouldn’t use them, but at least come up with something clever.
November 23rd, 2023 at 8:05 AM ^
Sure thing crappy blue
November 23rd, 2023 at 8:27 AM ^
lol. +1 to you, sir.
November 23rd, 2023 at 8:14 AM ^
How about “McOrd(inary)”
or “McBored”
or “McKyle”
or “McGregorispavingthisguyintothedirt”
?
November 23rd, 2023 at 10:31 AM ^
Or you could just use his name, he's a college kid, not some smarmy coach who sabotaged a rival program to buy more time for himself.
