Ohio State’s new head coach won’t be the only Ryan Day at the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1.
Another Ryan Day will be watching the game from the stands – and he won’t be rooting for the Buckeyes.
Search for @RyanDay on Twitter, and you won’t find the man who will soon be filling Urban Meyer’s shoes in Columbus. Instead, you’ll find a senior communications manager for Microsoft who was also once a cheerleader for Washington – Ohio State’s opponent in Pasadena – and is still a big fan of the Huskies.
The Seattle-based Ryan Day first learned about his coaching counterpart in 2017, when the soon-to-be Buckeyes head coach was named the co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Ohio State, because his best friend is an Ohio State fan.
