The discussion extends to what is dubbed the “Lunatic Fringe”—the particularly vocal segment of the Ohio State fan base that tends to criticize the team and its leaders harshly. This group often expresses its displeasure by tearing down players and coaches alike, regardless of past successes. It creates a jarring dichotomy: they forsake the idea of celebrating victories and instead choose to pounce on any misstep. The challenge becomes one of encouraging constructive criticism while also engaging in supportive dialogue about the team.
