Every week, Eleven Warriors will dive into the mentions of Ohio State's coaches and players to bring you the #HotTakes and ramblings of Buckeye Nation. This week, we're looking at the reactions from Ohio State's 77-31 drubbing of Oregon State.
Let's kick off the opening Buckeye B-@-tle Cry with something Ohio State didn't have in their opener — an appearance from Urban Meyer.
The three-time national champion coach watched his squad on television like most of the rest of us, but that didn't stop Buckeye Nation from tweeting at him before, during and after the game.
Here's the best/worst of the bunch.

Recent events inspired someone to create a twitter account that's solely dedicated to showcasing critical and negative College Gameday signs of Meyer.
Some people pour their time into restoring an old Chevy classic. Others travel or have creative outlets like starting a band or painting. Imagine aiming this low for your passion project.
.@OSUCoachMeyer 2 yard TD pass you guys are ahead 7-0 in 1st qtr
— Faux Pelini (@FauxPelini) September 1, 2018
This tickled me. The venerable @FauxPelini (follow him if you aren't already) chose to be helpful over critical and sent updates to Meyer throughout the game. And speaking of helpful, some out there had some ideas and suggestions for Ohio State's head man.

If you was my coach you would have been fired and the only reason why you didnt get fired was because the buckeyes are scared to lose a coach like you but my hat goes off to your replacement
Rock solid logic here.
@OSUCoachMeyer please explain why Haskins wasnt our starting QB last season
— DJ Scinta (@DJ_Scinta) September 1, 2018
Yes, Meyer, why did you choose the most statistically prolific quarterback in school and Big Ten history over a redshirt freshman last year?
Hey coach, Miss you on the sidelines. Tough to watch as a coach, bet your making notes for Tuesday. Pretty good start for first game, defensive back field needs some work. D line looks awesome.

There's plenty to work on ahead of next week's matchup against Rutgers, and there's no doubt that Meyer is checking his twitter mentions for guidance.
@OSUCoachMeyer I cant lie, this weather delay is driving me crazy. Go bucks
— DC (@dclark183) September 1, 2018
This rain is killing me. I should tweet Coach Meyer.
@ Ryan Day
It was an absolute love fest for acting head coach Ryan Day.

Well done, @ryandaytime.
— Patrick Toohey (@patricktwitty) September 1, 2018
I just love @ryandaytime! We are so fortunate to have him.
— Brit Strahler (@brittstrahler) September 1, 2018
Hey @verified can we hook the man up? Hes putting on a 3 day head coaching clinic! #soproud #GoBucks
@ryandaytime drop 100 I dare you.
— Stephen Collier (@S13Collier) September 1, 2018
The former Ohio State quarterback and Eleven Warriors favorite Stephen Collier wanted blood.
@ryandaytime has some executive hair. Fit for a boss #GoBucks
— Brodie Buckeye (@brodiebuckeye) September 1, 2018
Couldn't agree more. His hair is glorious.
@ryandaytime. CLASSLESS ACT of running up the score on Oregon State-DISGRACEFU
— John Riggins (@Bluetalefly1969) September 1, 2018
Okay, so maybe it wasn't a complete love fest. John was so disgusted by Day's CLASSLESS ACT that he didn't even have time to finish typing the word "disgraceful."
@ Dwayne Haskins
The redshirt sophomore burst onto the scene with a sensational 313-yard, five-touchdown performance in his first official start. Buckeye fans liked what they saw.

I just have one thing to say to @dh_simba7.... #5TDs #GoBucks #BuckeyeNation #tOSU pic.twitter.com/SCiaTQJYf3
— Reinstated but on suspension Curban Meyer (@smoke1playa) September 2, 2018
The only slip up from Haskins, outside of that one interception, was when he body checked his running back.
The only thing @dh_simba7 did wrong today: Celebrating a little too aggressively with @mikeweberjr. pic.twitter.com/y322R9As3i
— Brent Yarina (@BTNBrentYarina) September 1, 2018
That didn't sit well with the junior running back, who posted a career high 186 rushing yards and four total touchdowns.
I'm fighting you tomorrow @dh_simba7 https://t.co/B8fVY72KgD
— Mike Weber (@mikeweberjr) September 1, 2018
Even though Ohio State gave up a number of big plays and 31 points, junior defensive end Nick Bosa was absolutely unblockable and registered two sacks and two fumbles recovered, one of which was in the end zone for a touchdown.
Let's head to the mentions.
@ Nick Bosa
— Jonathan Katzner (@katzpajamas) September 1, 2018
Well hey, he currently has one more touchdown than Stanford running back Bryce Love, who was the odds-on favorite to win the Heisman coming into the season.

I'm scheduling a haircut now to see if I can tweet five times faster than usual. Real hopeful.
