Michigan football‘s J.J. McCarthy was on a journey not dissimilar from the legend that is Joe Burrow. Both are pro-style quarterbacks and both grew up fans of the Buckeyes. But that’s where the similarities end.
McCarthy was snubbed by his dream school while Burrow spent the first three years of college in Columbus.
J.J. feels resentment and, from the sounds of it, homicidal rage towards OSU.
“I used to love them,” McCarthy said. “Now I want to kill them.”
Ohio State made a mistake
As the story goes, McCarthy was visiting Ohio State in March of last year, excited about the opportunity to play under head coach Ryan Day and with all of the future NFL receivers.
