Ryan Day’s demeanor on Wednesday was about as laid-back and cheerful as you’ll see him at a press conference. In fact, the only times he seemed this way throughout last fall and winter were following the Michigan and Penn State games and during the early signing period on Dec. 18.
This time, he stood at the podium and told Jerry Emig, the football program’s sports information director, and reporters about how this media availability wouldn’t be nearly as long as his last one on Jan. 16 – his first press conference following the Fiesta Bowl loss – in which he answered 59 questions in a 42-minute span.
