Ohio State head coach Ryan Day went viral before their home opener for a strange reason. On Saturday morning, all eyes were on Ohio State as they took on Texas in their home opener, and ESPN was sending off Lee Corso.
Before the game, Day gave Corso a special Ohio State helmet.
“On behalf of everybody at Ohio State, I just want to thank you for everything you’ve done for college football,” Day told Corso. “This helmet right here has your name on it, but it also has a Buckeye Leaf for every time you chose Ohio State.”

“And then here’s one more right here,” Day said while handing him a sticker, “if you need one later today at noon.”

After changing his clothes and making his way to the sideline, fans noticed something strange about Day’s nipples.

Fans immediately began theorizing that Day had a nipple piercing.

We got a clearer look at Day’s shirt, and it doesn’t appear that he has any piercings.
