One of the best parts about Ohio State’s upset win over Alabama in the Sugar Bowl on Thursday was having to see ESPN analyst Mark May eat some crow about the Buckeyes.
May is notorious for being an Ohio State hater who mocks the Buckeyes, disparages them and refuses to give them credit. But the guy is a major personality at the network broadcasting the college football playoff games, so he was on hand to witness the game and even had to interview Ohio State players in the postgame show.
May didn’t say anything negative about the Buckeyes after the game — and what could he really have said anyway? — but Ohio State fans were eager to rub in the big win.
Take a look at some of the tweets from Buckeyes fans directed to May:

So @mark_may, care to explain yourself? Because it appears to me that OSU deserved to be in the playoff, but that's just me.

Of course, we get to the real reason why May dislikes Ohio State:

May may have said “hats off” to Ohio State for the win, but you know he’ll have fun picking Oregon to beat them.
