Monday Night Drinking Thread: A Nice Tall Glass of Buckeye Tears
I have been checking in on 11W here and there recently, and caught this forum post today noting that it's not just Honda McCord leaving, but basically every first string offensive skill player! QB1, WR1, 2, 3, RB1, TE1, more.
Looks like a rebuilding year ahead in Cbus? (Although I assume they have a stable of 5 stars 2 miles deep to draw from, and some comments noted that some of these players may not leave after all)
Anyway just imagining the potential of keeping the streak alive for the next couple years, it's a sweet long drink of Buckeye tears

They call Marv Harrison Mazerari Marv.
So someone made the joke their QB is Honda McCord.
December 4th, 2023 at 9:07 PM ^
Now calling him Yugo... Not much class down there
December 4th, 2023 at 9:14 PM ^
Pretty sure Ira Weintraub (WTKA) thought that one up. Its a stupid “insult” because Hondas are solid, reliable vehicles.
December 4th, 2023 at 9:31 PM ^
I've never looked at it as an insult. Just he's practical and not flashy.
Also, highly doubt Ira came up with it.
December 5th, 2023 at 9:38 AM ^
On the WTKA post-OSU show, someone was acting like it was their idea. Could have been Sam i guess. Not a big deal.
December 4th, 2023 at 9:32 PM ^
You must drive a Honda. You're dwelling on the positive parts, and missing the joke. It's a great insult when contrasted with Maserati Marv.
And because McCord rhymes with Accord, which of course is a Honda. They are relatively low cost economy sedans, no-frills, everyday driver type vehicles. There are no other car models that rhyme with his name better, so it's perfect.
December 5th, 2023 at 9:34 AM ^
Dude, I promise I understood the joke.
December 4th, 2023 at 9:19 PM ^
It may have been Uncle Lou.
December 4th, 2023 at 8:47 PM ^
It’s curious.
Day left MCCord kind of hanging publicly. This is your 11-1 QB who you selected as your QB1. His words were not encouraging heading into bowl practice and McCord immediately walked. Then Fleming who is the only returning WR starter walks?
Now Day needs to portal hunt a new high end QB or develop his roster. Either way if this move doesn’t work he could be writing his swan song.
December 4th, 2023 at 9:00 PM ^
Whaddaya mean, "now"? Day has probably been checking out the QB clearance racks for weeks. No need for the portal to officially open.
December 4th, 2023 at 9:44 PM ^
sounds like a nordstrom's rack. never know what you might find if you fish around long enough.
December 4th, 2023 at 10:30 PM ^
Never underestimate the good stuff you can find at Nordstroms.
December 4th, 2023 at 9:00 PM ^
Seems possible Day knew McCord was portal bound, thus he was noncommittal about him starting in the bowl.
In a now-deleted post, someone (I think a Buckeye poster) said Kyle's dad asked for a promise that his son would be the starting QB next year and Day would not guarantee it, thus he left. I've decided to accept this story as fact because I have no issues spreading baseless rumors about OSU.
December 4th, 2023 at 10:35 PM ^
Herbstriet literally seemed baffled by McCords move. Obviously he is connected to the program and said OSU has more kids heading out the door whatever that might when it comes to contributors.
Cade won a Big Ten Championship but I think it was clear that JJs potential was the future. Maybe OSU had the same thing but not if they are portal hunting. This one just seems like McCord saying fuck this shit.
December 5th, 2023 at 12:21 AM ^
Supposedly Day told McCord there will be an open qb competition next year and McCord surprised them by saying, 'cya,' and they hadn't been planning on getting anyone out of the portal before that.
December 5th, 2023 at 7:15 AM ^
And I remember the days when ohio always had three NFL prospects sitting on the quarterback roster.
December 5th, 2023 at 2:14 PM ^
All we have are third baseless rumors
December 4th, 2023 at 9:00 PM ^
My take: day was mealy mouthed when asked because McCord already told him he’s leaving.
December 4th, 2023 at 8:59 PM ^
I save my buckeye tears to use as tire dressing. Looks good, doesn't really do much.
December 4th, 2023 at 9:00 PM ^
Trayanum is a senior and Williams declared for the NFL draft today.
December 4th, 2023 at 9:16 PM ^
Senior doesn't mean much these days.
December 4th, 2023 at 9:01 PM ^
Can't wait for Cam Ward to end up being OSU's QB after obvious tampering and huge cash offer and for OSU fans to continue to call us "cheaters" and act like their program is clean
December 4th, 2023 at 10:05 PM ^
According to Buckeye Scoop (caveat emptor), OSU offered Cam Ward $2MM and was turned down.
December 4th, 2023 at 9:01 PM ^
Most Buckeye tears are high ethanol and low octane like cheap Walmart gasoline.
December 4th, 2023 at 9:03 PM ^
Michigan will lose half their roster, so lets just enjoy the rest of this year and not think to next season.
December 4th, 2023 at 9:06 PM ^
TBH watching the OSU meltdown is part of my enjoyment of this season.
December 5th, 2023 at 7:20 AM ^
You said it. After hearing it for YEARS from those buckeye fans. There's nothing more satisfying than watching them grieve.
December 4th, 2023 at 9:09 PM ^
I'm more curious what OUR two-deep looks like next year, to be honest. They're going to have talent. That's a given. I want to know who's going to be facing them across the battle lines next November.
I REALLY hope that one of them is JJ. I think he'll be the straw that stirs the drink if he comes back.
December 4th, 2023 at 9:11 PM ^
I don't drink on Mondays, well only a little.
December 4th, 2023 at 9:12 PM ^
I feel like we should send them some gold pants on their way out. You know, since they've probably never seen them irl.
December 4th, 2023 at 9:21 PM ^
Let's send them some cheap yellow polyester pants from Target. Tell them, hey, it's not what you wanted, but it is what you deserve.
December 4th, 2023 at 10:24 PM ^
Khaki pants it is.
December 4th, 2023 at 9:20 PM ^
No one likes Ryan Day.
Shocking /s/
December 4th, 2023 at 9:26 PM ^
I like how The4Letter phrased it today. TheOhioState exodus:
Ohio State was the Big Ten team with the most movement on Monday, as quarterback Kyle McCord, receiver Julian Fleming, running back Evan Pryor, linebacker Reid Carrico and defensive backs Ryan Turner, Kye Stokes and Cameron Martinez all entered the transfer portal.
December 4th, 2023 at 9:51 PM ^
"The OSU movement entered the Pringles can portal".
December 4th, 2023 at 9:29 PM ^
Can someone please fill me in on the “Honda McCord” backstory?
I asked in another thread, but it was taken down. Hope I don’t kill this one 🤣
Thanks!
December 4th, 2023 at 9:35 PM ^
Just an internet joke after Gus started calling Marvin Harrison “Maserati Marv” because Honda McCord sounds like the actual car, the Honda Accord. Maseratis are fast, Hondas are not. That’s it. Just an internet joke.
December 4th, 2023 at 9:30 PM ^
Sucks to be them.
December 4th, 2023 at 9:36 PM ^
I would never drink buckeye tears, however I am enjoying a pour or two of Old Scout Single Barrel Rye 114.8 proof.
December 5th, 2023 at 8:05 AM ^
Old scout drops some nice bottles.
December 5th, 2023 at 11:01 AM ^
Yes they do. Been looking for this ever since you sent me a sample awhile back.
Thanks again!
December 5th, 2023 at 2:16 PM ^
You still have any of the George T Stagg left? If not, I'll send ya some more to drink for the bama game. It'll be needed, win or lose.
December 5th, 2023 at 3:46 PM ^
That GTS sample was enjoyed quite awhile ago, all gone. Probably the best pour I have ever had 👍🥃. Wasn't that the 2017 release?
December 6th, 2023 at 1:19 PM ^
I'm not sure. I'll have to check again when I see it unboxed (hopefully soon)
December 6th, 2023 at 1:43 PM ^
From some of the pictures I have seen, the reno looks awesome 👍. I'm sure you can't wait for it to be done. Good luck with the progress!! Tell everyone we said hello 🤗
How was the TC port finish? Hope you are enjoying it 🥃
December 4th, 2023 at 9:44 PM ^
You...HATE...to see it.
December 4th, 2023 at 9:51 PM ^
Balvenie 12.
Hoping Team Chaos still has unfinished business in Columbus between now and that big Missouri- OS-who? game.
December 4th, 2023 at 10:04 PM ^
Depending on how OSU does in the portal, next year's squad might have the least talent in Columbus in nearly a generation. It will certainly be the least proven in that long. I could be convinced the Fickell transition year was an exception. OSU has relied forever on having talent a full letter grade above the conference, and they had accomplished coaches in Tressel and Meyer. Talent in terms of new player recruiting is tighter now, but the portal and NIL have been a great equalizer for Michigan. OSU with four and five stars behind five stars has kids leaving if they don't play. Coaching now counts a lot more, and we're a full letter grade better at that.
December 4th, 2023 at 10:44 PM ^
Belmont Station in Portland. Nice tap list and bottle shop where I just dropped $100 lol. Merry Christmas to me. A tap barleywine from Fort George named Etymology. Times two. And a smashburger.
Very telling that the Fucks are focused on their 'skill' guys and not their trenches. I have a buddy, high school trench guy, who gets so pissed off at the skill position term. He's right. Trench guys have skills too.
December 5th, 2023 at 1:13 AM ^
Love Belmont Station, one of my favorite places to pick up cans in town. Between them and Beermongers I think we have it pretty great in PDX for beer. It was nice to see Oberon show up recently as well
