Atlanta, Georgia – Cornered in a hotel hallway by a Michigan fan disguised as a CFP press member on Monday night right after Ohio State’s victory over Notre Dame, Ryan Day confirmed that he would indeed trade the National Championship he just won if it meant he could put an end to the Buckeyes’ four-game skid against archival Michigan.
The scene, eerily reminiscent of the climactic Danny Ocean-Terry Benedict confrontation from the heist movie Ocean’s 11, was captured on closed caption video and shared exclusively with CFB News Now.
“What happened Day, you get beat by Michigan again or something?” the faux CFP press member said passing Day in the hallway.
“Stop,” said Day, approaching the press member from afar. “I’m going to give you one chance,” Day threatened quietly. “How do I beat Michigan?”
“What if I told you I could get you a win against Michigan, if you would give up the natty…what would you say?” the Michigan man queried.
“I would say ‘Yes,’” Day responded after a brief pause.
“Psych, you’re never beating Michigan” the fan exclaimed, pulling open his jacket to reveal a maize “M” logo on a blue t-shirt. “GO BLUE!” the man shouted before running off down the hallway.
As of press time, Ryan Day and Ohio State athletic representatives haven’t responded to requests for comment. Updates will be made as they are received.
