For the past few years, we have done a great job of faking the family culture. That is in reference to the fanbase and the team. We have the biggest game of the season next week and you couldn't even tell. The Michigan State game hasn't been over for 2 hours and Buckeye Nation has already been flipped on it's self-righteous head. The last time we lost a big game was the 2013 MSU game. Fans cried and complained but the team didn't implode. Our older players were mature enough to go about their business and look towards the next game. Within 2 hours of losing the first game of the season, we have had 2 players announce their departure. It isn't even the last game of the regular season. We have had one player publicly call out the coaching staff and another defend him. For a team with so many "leaders," we look and act nothing like it.

Secondly, I would love to hear what recruits think of going to a place where players call out coaches and fans boo for losing your first game in well over a year.
