Gene Smith didn't mince words at Skull Session Saturday.
A couple hours before kickoff between the Buckeyes and Fighting Irish in Columbus, the Ohio State athletic director delivered a strong message for his former school.
“I love my alma mater, but we gotta kick their ass tonight," Smith told Buckeye fans at St. John Arena as he finished his speech on the microphone.
Aside from Smith, Buckeye head coach Ryan Day and captain Cade Stover also spoke at the pregame ceremony, and you can check out everything all three said in the video above.
