A gracious loser at OSU

Urban Meyer, the once defeated, highly paid football coach at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, who lives in a lavish home near the prestigious Murfield Golf Course, after his teams defeat in Indianapolis, Indiana at the hands of the football team from Michigan State University, refused to leave a golf cart that was parked outside the facility, that he was sulking or despondently sitting in, head in his hands, outside of the Lucas Oil Stadium, where the game was played.

He kept muttering to himself, "Why, why, why, we never lose, I promised Gene (Gene Smith, overpaid athletic director at The Ohio State University) that if they paid me more the Gee, that we would not lose a game, we scheduled teams, for two years, that we could beat, and now this, we didn't schedule this game, that's the problem, darn, darn, darn,  bad conference, bad conference."

He finally left the security of the golf cart at the insistence of his wife and boarded the team bus. He was asked by a reporter about the break in tradition by not singing "Carmen Ohio" with the team and the band, something they have faithfully done each game, to which he replied, "What, who, when, where." Apparently memories of his days as a TV reporter and sports analyst.

The coach later stated that he would rather see his team play in Florida than California, "It's a lot closer, and, Clemson is an agricultural school, we can beat a bunch of farmers."
