The Ohio State Buckeyes won the College Football Playoff national championship last month, but one Georgia Bulldogs player was certainly not happy to see the Buckeyes have that sort of success.
during a recent interview on the Mullets on the Mic podcast, Georgia Bulldogs offensive lineman Tate Ratledge made it really clear that he is not a fan of Ohio State at all.
“I can express this now that I’m not with Georgia football, I hate Ohio State with everything in me,” Ratledge said on the podcast. “I hate them. I always have and I always will hate Ohio State.
“My family has always hated them,” he continued. “So I was kind of [brought] up to hate them. Just never liked them. The fans are cocky. Like with [the] The Ohio State University [stuff], cut that out, no one cares. Ohio State is the last team I wanted to see win (the national championship).”
Ratledge only faced Ohio State one time in his career as his Bulldogs defeated Ohio State in the 2022 College Football Playoff semifinal when the Buckeyes missed what would have been a game-winning field goal.
He won’t get another chance to face Ohio State on the field, however, as he is entering the NFL Draft where he is expected to be a mid-round pick.
We’ll have to see whether or not Ratledge keeps up his disdain for the Buckeyes when he makes it to the NFL level.
