After every Buckeye football game, Eleven Warriors dives 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 back at Urban Meyer's final game at the helm.
Ohio State was a heavy favorite entering its Rose Bowl matchup against Washington, and through three quarters, Dwayne Haskins and Co., looked the part as the local squad built what turned out to be an insurmountable 28-3 lead.
That didn't stop the Huskies from making things interesting as they scored 20 fourth quarter points and were an onside kick recovery away from having a chance to steal Meyer's Rose Bowl Trophy and storybook sendoff.
Blown covers aside, Meyer got the win he was hoping for in his last game as Ohio State's head coach, and before he handed his whistle over to Ryan Day, Buckeye fans showed out on Twitter with their appreciation.
Let's dive into Meyer's mentions.

So many of you cried. I'd judge if I hadn't weeped when Cleveland beat Golden State in the 2016 finals.

@OSUCoachMeyer & the squad are coming for blood. Gonna be a long one for the huskies

It certainly looked that way early, but Chris Petersen is too good of a coach to stay on the mat for 60 minutes.
I hope this game lasts forever. Pls dont go @OSUCoachMeyer

With a run time of nearly four hours, it felt like it lasted forever.
Ok see u later Meyers

This tweet reminded me of the kitchen manager I worked for at a Carrabba's during college. I requested a night off to take my lady friend to a John Mayer concert (I am extremely good at romance) and for the next year I had several conversions with my boss about "John Meyers." Still bothers me to this day.

As a staunch and devoted lover of bourbon, I'm embarrassed that over the last seven and a half years I never once thought of "Bourbon Meyer." Cheers Todd, but take it easy on the ice.
Don't underestimate @OSUCoachMeyer as a candidate to coach the @Bengals.

— Jack Torry (@JackTorry1) January 2, 2019
I'm on record as a man who believes Ohio State would beat the brakes off Notre Dame and Oklahoma on a neutral field.
Giving @OSUCoachMeyer the thanks and goodbye he deserves. Thank you Coach for the incredible job you've done for us! #RoseBowl

The Eleven Warriors servers would've exploded in a majestic fire-cloud if Meyer pulled that one.
Cannot say Ive ever seen a @OSUCoachMeyer team get this conservative.
— Mike Hood (@hoodm3) January 2, 2019
That wasn't a fourth quarter to remember, but the good guys still came away with the dub.
Easiest 75 dollars Ive ever lost. Thanks for nothing @OSUCoachMeyer
