Being the coach of the local team at any institution, you're going to get a lot of heat. At Ohio State, Urban isn't free from the Twitter fingers — especially when you spot Penn State 14 points.
Intro
Prior to the bedlam that ensued Saturday night inside Ohio Stadium, the week leading up to the game had some brief noteworthy mentions. The intro is short because Urban's mentions this weekend were a nuclear dumpster fire and then a public display of affection and we need to get to as much of that as we can.

Congrats to the lucky couple that got married on the bye week. I'm not sure anybody would have made it had you had it Saturday, but enjoy your honeymoon!
OSU PERPETUALLY OVERRATED.

YOUR FOLLOWING—FOLLOWER RATIO PERPETUALLY GARBAGE.
hey @OSUCoachMeyer come with me to Bulls after the Penn State game Saturday
— Nick Davis (@NickEDavis) October 23, 2017
Ohio State would burn to the ground if Urban Meyer was ever up on the platform inside Bullwinkles, wearing the Urban pullover, khaki joggers and some black vans.
Things that should never happen no matter the concept:
@OhioStateFB @OSUCoachMeyer All Red for Michigan next year??
— Frank The Tank (@frank_makinbank) October 24, 2017
Dwayne Haskins should not play quarterback again for Ohio State this year. Let his time come.
@OSUCoachMeyer We just have to make sure that we try to go down the field from the get go. I think that might open up the run game a little bit. Do you think we will see Dwayne Haskins at all on Saturday? I don't think Penn State would be prepared for that. Go bucks!

Gameday — Things Got Weird, Wild and Victorious
I just want to thank the special teams and Urban Meyer for letting his team know to give up a touchdown to open the game and then have the Nittany Lions go up 14-zip.
Urban and I had some telekinesis before the game and he told me he was looking out for my #content. Nonetheless, it was a wild ride ladies and gentlemen, so strap in, or risk the whole "click it or ticket" thing if you're bad.
Saquon Barkley housed the opening kickoff
@OSUCoachMeyer should walk out of The Shoe and resign immediately #Clown #embarrassing

When Penn St. Was Winning & People Got irrational
Hey, @OSUCoachMeyer, why dont you East-West pass your way into retirement? Oh, and take your bullshit offensive coordinator and special teams coach with you.
— The Nihilist (@SoCynicool) October 28, 2017
@OSUCoachMeyer coach, you are responsible for this loss. It would be a 14-13 score right now and not 28-10 if not for stupid K/O strategy
— Urb Heisenberg (@NewsBucks614) October 28, 2017
Heisenberg isn't completely wrong here. I'd rather the Buckeyes just get what the kickers they have on scholarship are good at — kicking footballs very long distances in a straight line through goalposts and not on a line to a corner of the field.
@OSUCoachMeyer See you in the Hall of Fame Bowl, Urban. If I'm awake that early. Very poor coaching today. Maybe the game has passed you by?
— Dave Kolar (@dako420) October 28, 2017
@OSUCoachMeyer please let go of JT Barrett! He may be a leader but he is not our best quarterback.

If @OSUCoachMeyer doesn't make a QB change next week there needs to be a coaching change next year @OhioStateFB
— The Chief (@_CATDOG__) October 28, 2017
If J.T. Barrett doesn't win the Heisman this year there needs to be no Heisman winner again ever — period.
@OSUCoachMeyer should donate whatever the hell he got paid for this embarrassment to some charity. He sure as hell didn't earn it
— Damon Hicks (@damonhicks) October 28, 2017
Urban Meyer gets paid a lot of money to will his teams to win in big football games, Damon.
@OSUCoachMeyer @OhioStateFB for the team to fail against so many good teams in a row, has to be a lack of culture. #shame #BuckeyeNation
— Ryan (@RomDom1205) October 28, 2017
@OSUCoachMeyer Wow even arm chair idiots knows what u r calling! Coack like Cooper. 2 conservative. Barrett in no QB like I'm no model
— J.Farmers (@19Calaban70) October 28, 2017
Please call Jim Tressel for coaching assistance (especially special teams and discipline)
— Misty Pejic (@MistyPejic) October 28, 2017
This is so completely unrealistic, but I'd low-key be okay with Jim Tressel being the ghost special teams coach for Ohio State. Just a consulting friend, giving us a little of his #QuietTime.
This many mistakes by an @OSUCoachMeyer team after pretty much shutting Barkley down is unacceptable. Have fun at practice, buttholes
— Joe Pastorek (@JoePastorek83) October 28, 2017
Yeah, buttholes.
After they did the thing and won the ballgame
But first
You do not beat @OSUCoachMeyer on a bye week..
— Tiff Fido (@Tifffido) October 29, 2017
This is true — you cannot beat Urban Meyer on a bye week. It is actually impossible to do. Yeah, so they don't have games on bye weeks, but who's counting, actually?

Sorry for over reacting @OSUCoachMeyer you got this. Great win guys!!!!

Ah yes, the "I overreacted after we lost to Oklahoma" tweet drawback. It's okay @mmenke14, come aboard the newly-dedicated S.S. Joe Thomas Barrett IV, there's plenty of room.

@OSUCoachMeyer My week: Heart attack, 99%blocked LAD, repair, home at 330 2day. Amazing win for my second lease on life! #gift #Buckeyes #TY
— Shure Studios (@ShureStudios) October 29, 2017
I just want to take a second to acknowledge first how good I feel that this guy will be getting to watch Buckeye games in the future. But second — wut? Can you imagine having a heart attack, having a 99% heart blockage repaired and then getting home at 3:30 for this game and living to tell the tale? Somebody give this guy a medal.
What flavor ice cream will @PennStateFball make for @OSUCoachMeyer ???#Buckeye?#Collapse?#Revenge?#BlockedPunt?#GoBucks?

Lastly, I am going to save you a lot of financial hurt. Do not ever allow Johnny Finan$e (@WallstreetCloza) to ever make a financial decision for you. 8/10 brand strategy though, Mr. Finan$e.
I was dead wrong OSU in the playoff impressive will join ND and Bama UGA winner and OklaorMIA;

And Because there had to be this guy
@OSUCoachMeyer get some integrity and admit that game was fixed. Good try at hiding it until the 4th qtr. But still way to obvious.
— George Minton Jr (@GeorgeMintonJr2) October 28, 2017
J.T. Barrett went 13/13 for 170 yards and three touchdowns in the fourth quarter because the game is fixed, apparently.
Nah, bud.
Urban just sent his son out there and J.T. Barrett buried the Penn State defense in the north end zone where their souls and chances at a national championship will stay until Nov. 23, 2019 when Penn State next comes to Columbus.
