The Urban Dictionary. Welcome to a new and (hopefully) recurring piece that will be a peek into Urban Meyer’s jargon, but more importantly – what it actually means when heard by different people and their reactions to said jargon.

They will typically involve looking at his post game comments from the previous week’s game, but anything that comes out of the mouth of the great one is fair game for analysis.

Granted I am not Meyer himself (…or am I?), so there is no way to tell how accurate these analyses will be, but it will be fun to try.

We’ll start with the narrow win over Indiana this past weekend…

Urban said – “We’re turning the ball over at an alarming rate. That’s obviously a difference in the game. And at some point, that’s going to bite you. We have to fix that.”

  • The Fans – No kidding. There’s an easy fix for this, start JT…
  • The Media – So, have you settled on a starting quarterback yet?
  • The Players – We’re still 5-0, but we need to be better still…our fans expect nothing short of a 70-0 win against every team we play. Back to the grind.

 

Urban said – “The turnovers have to change right now. I mean, right now. There’s a couple of ways to do it. Just keep coaching and emphasize what we do. And second, the guys who lay it on the ground just can’t play.”

  • The Fans – The guys who lay it on the ground? What about the guy that lays it into the hands of the other team? Start JT.
  • The Media – Do you think you need to re-evaluate who should be the starting quarterback?
  • The Players – Coach is gunna be on Jalin’s (Marshall) case in practice this week…I didn’t fumble the ball twice.

Urban said – “The best thing about being 5-0 is a chance to go 6-0.”

  • The Fans – We won’t go 6-0. Unless you start JT of course.
  • The Media – With Jones in the starting quarterback role, IS there a chance?
  • The Players – Everything will be fine. In the words of Michael Thomas: #shhhhhhh

Hopefully you have enjoyed the first page in The Urban Dictionary. Feel free to disagree with any and all, or none of my reactions. Because like I said, I am not Meyer himself…

Comments

  1. I remember in a podcast earlier this year, Jeremiah mentioned that all you have to do it listen to what Meyer says. Urban-talk is the anti-Tresseltalk. Tressel was the Senator, saying all the right things without saying anything. Urban does just the opposite, saying all the right things by saying everything.

    I look forward to future Urban Dictionaries.
