Game Thread 2017 Cotton Bowl: OSU vs. USC - 12/29/17 @ 8:30 ET (ESPN)

Won't be mad if USC wins. Props to their players for competing despite their high draft stock

I’d rather he sit than play not to get hurt. I know I am old school but Woody and I don’t want him near the team.

Ward doesn't owe us anything, and Woody never coached a kid who stood to lose millions of dollars.

 

[Zander42]

That’s absurd

A few years ago we would have said the same thing about bowl games.

8 NATIONAL TITLES. DONT GET IT TWISTED

 

[GovTressel]

We’re already short 3 commercial breaks.

I don't care. I just said I respect USC's players more

 

[ORD_Buckeye]

OK. Last game of the season calls for good stuff. Let's do this.

No we wouldn’t have. If you stop playing mid season then you’re a quitter and no team in the NFL will want you. If you skip an exhibition game then you’re just smart.

Hey it’s an exhibition so just make all draft eligible players ineligible.

We'll see.

Hopefully Barrett and Dobbins put on a show for the folks back home in Texas.

You go JT....Captain....Captain.....Captain

If your team is already out of contention for a national title halfway through the season, then the remainder of the season is essentially an exhibition.

After Ohio State lost to Iowa I guess none of the rest of our games really mattered

 

[Bestbuck36]

I got JT getting 373 total yards tonight. If that includes no TO's, then we'll roll.

Hope Dobbins and Weber add up another 300 on top of that!

 

[TooTall]

That’s not a coin, that’s a hockey puck!

 

[buckeyebri]

Ha ha nice toss!
