Nick Saban Brutally Rips Ohio State Buckeyes Fans
The Ohio State Buckeyes are preparing to face the Oregon Ducks in the Rose Bowl and may have the opportunity to play for a national championship next month.
However, some Ohio State fans are still hung up on their fourth straight loss to the Michigan Wolverines.
The Buckeyes were upset by Michigan in Columbus during the regular-season finale, which, for some Ohio State fans, has put a damper on the team’s College Football Playoff run.
Former college football coach Nick Saban—who is no stranger to winning championships—thinks that Buckeyes fans are being a bit ridiculous.
“These Ohio State fans have a psychotic obsession with Michigan and they need to go get therapy or something to try to get it fixed,” Saban said during an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show. “They have a chance to win the national championship and here you are, nobody’s excited about their opportunity to play [against Oregon] because they lost to Michigan, which was a tough game.”
The Ohio State-Michigan rivalry is one of the most fierce in sports, so you can understand why the fans take it so seriously.
But Saban has a point.
The ultimate goal is to win a national title; not to beat Michigan. It’s almost as if some Buckeyes fans would rather beat the Wolverines but not win a championship rather than vice versa.
That being said, Ohio State was widely expected to beat Michigan last month, as the Wolverines went just 7-5 to finish the year and had miserable quarterback play throughout 2024.
For that reason, Buckeyes fans are still a bit hot. But hopefully, that will all be pushed to the side if Ohio State defeats Oregon on New Year’s Day.

Why artists are dropping out of the Great American State Fair
Musicians cancel appearances at the Great American State Fair after questions over Freedom 250 and claims the July Fourth event is nonpartisan.
As several states pull out of the Great American State Fair in Washington, D.C., questions are coming up closer to home — Is Ohio still participating?
Massachusetts and North Carolina won’t participate in the fair, according to USA TODAY. Reports also indicate that Connecticut, Illinois, Maine and Oregon are also expected to skip the event, with some states citing a combination of financial and political concerns as reasons for opting out.
Here’s what we know about Ohio’s role in the event so far.
Is Ohio skipping the 2026 Great American State Fair?
Ohio has confirmed its participation with a booth titled “Ohio: The Heart of it All,” which showcases state parks and childhood development. The governor’s office began the planning process for the booth in February, shortly after the Great American State Fair was announced, said Lisa Peterson director of communications in the governor’s office.
The Great American State Fair, organized by Freedom 250, is a 16-day exposition that will be displayed on the National Mall from June 25 to July 10.
Additionally, Ohio will host a stop from the “Freedom Truck,” a traveling exhibit tied to Freedom 250. The exhibit will appear at the Ohio State Fair in Columbus. Organizers describe the Freedom Truck as a mobile museum that visits existing fairs and community events, not a version of the Great American State Fair itself.
When does the ‘Freedom Truck’ stop in Ohio?
The Freedom Truck is scheduled to be at the Ohio State Fair from July 27 through Aug. 10, 2026 at the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus.
The exhibit includes interactive and historical exhibits about the founding of the United States, according to organizers.
The mobile museum will be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends, with the final day closing at 6 p.m.
What is the Great American State Fair?
The Great American State Fair is a 16-day event planned for June 25 through July 10 on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Organized by Freedom 250, the fair is part of a broader effort to mark the nation’s 250th anniversary with state exhibits, food, entertainment and cultural programming, according to USA TODAY.
President Donald Trump announced he will headline the Freedom 250‑organized Great American State Fair and hold an “America Is Back” rally, the publication reports.
America250 vs. Freedom 250: What’s the difference?
The Great American State Fair is part of Freedom 250, a Trump-backed initiative to celebrate the country’s 250th anniversary.
That effort is different from America250, the official, congressionally-authorized program coordinating nationwide commemorations. Meanwhile, America 250‑Ohio, the Ohio Commission for the U.S. Semiquincentennial, is the official state-level partner to the national America250 effort.
