Ryan Day isn’t known for his flair.  The Ohio State coach could double nicely as a mattress salesman, local TV ads and all that. He’d blend into the background. That’s why it hurts so much to watch what’s happened to him.  He deserves better. Sure, he’s a millionaire many times over and has the Buckeyes on the cusp of a …
