No Way... Ryan Day and "TOUGH"

You can't spell tough without o... Nevermind.

Keep swinging slugger! I like feeling that cool breeze.

Chicagoans may remember this: there's a radio station in Chicago, WXRT, that is the de facto coolest station in the city. Back in the early 90's, they hired an advertising agency to do a campaign for them. The head writer was a loathsome character (a friend of an advertising colleague of mine, who is now a big time Hollywood screen writer) who thought he was the coolest by coming up with the tagline, "WXRT: Move Someplace Cooler." Well, I about had a conniption fit. If you really are the coolest, you don't have to tell people, you can just ride the unspoken wave of your unparalleled coolness. By telling people that you're the coolest, you've just become uncool. 

It's kind of like when you go to a restaurant and they have the word "Gourmet" on the sign or a hotel that says "Luxury".  Chances are the restaurant isn't Gourmet and the hotel isn't luxurious.

He really listens to his critics, doesn't he?!

This man is a gift that keeps giving.  I'll miss the sheer entertainment value of his tenure when he's fired.

Why did they leave out the part to the right that says "Loss" from the picture. That's misleading.

Not only are they soft but they can't install ceiling panels properly.

Can we steal that sign, then paint in maize and blue?

Day still watches Lawrence Welk

We are in their head, perhaps even more than we'd like to be.

Them turning signal-gate into a crusade was about not being able to process what's happening.

I obviously don't want them to win this year, but if they do, maybe they'll tone it down some.

Honest advice:

Instead of putting "tough" up on that wall, put "you can't beat Michigan" up on that wall.

I'm legitimately not trolling. The culture problem with that program is they're constantly telling themselves they've earned shit they haven't earned. You have all the talent in the world, try challenging it rather than flattering it.

He will be fired before the press conference when they lose four years in a row against Michigan 

If you have to tell people how tough you are…

Any man who has to tell people his team is tough does not have a tough team. 

I hated Urban Meyer and I still do, but he never had to tell anyone how tough his teams were. You took one look at them and knew that win or lose, you were going to get beat to hell over the next 3.5 hours. 

Ryan Day is strong independent man!  He's empowering other men to be super duper tough.

Maybe 'Tough' is just an anagram, such as:

'Ought', as in Ought to have been tougher the last three years.

Is that real?  

That's a terrible job hanging that.... should not have that crease between the "G" and "H".  Probably thought the word sounded tougher with a hard consonant sound at the end.

That Ryan Day sure is Toug!

The comedy of Ryan Day trying to become a baby Harbaughin his own way, considering the life and career trajectory of Ryan Day before he got ground up by real Harbaugh teams, is seemingly limitless.

You keep saying it Ryan!  You got this!

The lack of self-awareness is amazing.

Day is looking more and more like a truck driver. An unhappy truck driver. No offense to truck drivers.

Every time I read it in Ryan’s cracking and crying voice from the end of the Notre Dake game

He might as well replace "TOUGH" with "INSECURE"

I'm assuming that on the other wall, it says "I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHERE LOU HOLTZ IS NOW."

Hey Ryan, Ford called and wants its Tough back.

My name is James. It looks like they are trying to pull the "THE Ohio State University" thing on my given name.  I will have to see if it is now trademarked and I will need to change.  I may pull a Chad Ocho Cinco and change it to Tres Cero a Dos Quatro Gilipollas.

He's had a tough day, coaching running backs, so give him some space.
