Ryan Day’s Ohio State team is coming off a strong performance, having achieved a remarkable 45-0 victory against Purdue. However, the upcoming Big 10 noon timings have been a major concern for both the fans and the team. Surprisingly, it seems that Ohio State is actually in a better position with these noon timings. Shocking, right? Let’s see what the fuss is all about.

Today, on a recent episode of On3 hosts, Andy and Ari highlighted a much lesser-known fact about the Big Noon timings. This was in context with Ohio State getting the noon schedule for 6 straight games and saying, “They’re constantly being chosen for big noon at a competitive disadvantage because they’re not being able to they’re not able to harbor the best atmosphere possible as a result of this. Well, they are collecting the most money because the Big 10 makes the most money, so that’s the trade-off.” Now this is quite surprising.

A few days back, when the schedule was out for Ohio State’s games for the rest of the season, fans couldn’t make peace with the fact that even after holding a strong position in the league, the team is given the most odd timings. Ohio State fans not only showcased their anger over the whole schedule but also didn’t stop themselves from expressing their harsh criticism of big noon timings.

However, now it looks like all their efforts went straight down the drain with the unexpected facts coming to light. In the above-mentioned podcast, host Andy talked about Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt’s takeover of the noon kickoff timings for Ohio State. Taking it to his X account, Joel said, “Lots to talk about Big Noon Saturday. Here are some things I think you should know. Big Noon Saturday has been the most watched college football window for the last few years. Last year, our window averaged almost 7 million viewers.” It looks like the misery suddenly changed into joy for the team. Let’s see what their head coach has to say about fans’ reactions to the timings.

Ryan Day’s opinion on fans backlashes

Well, Ryan Day’s firm hold over the program is quite evident this year. The team is standing on an eight-win and one-loss streak in the season and showcasing remarkable gameplay since the start of the season. Looking at their consistency, fans couldn’t digest the fact that they were not allotted a decent time for their Big 10 kickoff. But it looks like Ohio State’s head coach, Ryan Day, is very well familiar with the advantages this timing will have on the game, as Day is not that affected by any of these changes.

During an interview, when asked about fans’ dissatisfaction over the noontime timings given for Ohio State games, Ryan Day addressed his opinion on the entire situation, saying, “I‘ve got to deal with a lot of fan backlash for other things other than times of the game.” That’s a straight fact: Ryan Day constantly gets a hard time over not being able to beat any top team in the season except Penn State. Moreover, Day also added to it, saying, “I‘m going to leave that for other people to deal with. I‘ve got other things to deal with. Whenever they tell us to play, we’re going to play.” Now, with recent revelations on the positive side of the noon timings, let’s see if fans also change their opinion regarding the same.
