Urban Meyer promised to get a tattoo if Ohio State won the national title
You may see Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer at a Columbus, Ohio, area tattoo shop soon.
According to USA Today, Meyer told several of his players that he’d get a tattoo if the Buckeyes won the College Football Playoff National Championship. The promise was made after OSU’s Sugar Bowl upset win over Alabama and now that the Buckeyes are national champions, his players definitely won’t let him forget about it.
Time to follow through on that promise, coach.
“He promised us after we beat ‘Bama in the locker room that if we won the next one, he’d get a tattoo,” tight end Jeff Heuerman said. “I’ll supervise it,”
Heuerman said Meyer’s new ink was the “first thing that went through (his) head” after the win.
“Trust me. I’m going to be right next to him,” Heuerman said. “Coach Meyer’s getting a tattoo.”
Defensive end Joey Bosa said he’ll be “bugging him” until he gets it done. Meyer even mentioned that the tattoo could end up being the school’s Block O logo.
“I’ll go with him,” Bosa said. “I’ve already got my Block O. We have core values, and honesty is one of them, so he better not be lying.”
The 50-year-old Meyer did not specify where he’ll get the tattoo, but we’re expecting to see it on social media soon. Don’t let us down, coach. Rick Pitino did it. You can, too.
