tOSU vs Missouri, Goodyear Cotton Bowl, Friday Dec. 29, 8 ET on ESPN

[BuckeyeNation36]

The Cotton Bowl will have a lot of backups needing to fill in for the guys leaving for the draft or portal. Hope they can still show up well and win.
$ ruins bowl games outside of the playoffs.

Things have changed, it’s different it’s semi pro with no rules. Each program sets their own rules. The playing field is wide open. Old Alma mater is for graduates. The Buckeyes football team are not a college team like the fencing team. The name on the front of uniform has been marginalized.

I don't know that it's been marginalized but I agree that it should be looked at as a lower tier pro football league now. It has nothing to do with the Universities other than letting them use the name.

Once people come to grips with that new reality, hopefully it can help with frustration levels.

 

[Bestbuck36]

They'll get at least 3 points every drive they make it past the Bucks' 40.

Forgot about that mule

 

[Bestbuck36]

No longer meaningless. A lot of things to find out now

McCord leaving makes this a lot more interesting game. Let see the O ball…

 

[Jake]

I think it's strange how some folks are talking about this like it's the Spring game. There isn't even any hitting in the Spring game.

Yeah it is more interesting for sure now that is essentially turning into a live game QB battle for 2024. After the end of the year and playing a meh opponent in the Cotton Bowl, I still have trouble getting very excited for this one. I will watch and of course want to see us beat an SEC school, but really the player development and one extra game film heading into next year is all that matters at this point. Hate to sound negative but when you have a championship caliber team (which we did) and not even have a shot at it in the CFP, it is hard to get excited for this one. Maybe if we were Iowa or Minnesota it would be great, but we're not. Excited to see Brown and Lincoln get their shot at QB.

All I know is Katzenmoyer hit Corby Jones so hard a couple decades ago he rightly should get credit for a handful of tackles here in a couple weeks just for sitting on his couch.

 

[DaiMonMoore]

Hu?

You aren’t going to watch?

That attitude is insane to me. I couldn’t imagine knowing the bucks are playing and then choosing not to watch.

Nope. It's a meaningless game. Can't wait until next year when every good team will be in a real playoff.

Obligatory

So be a fair weather fan and not support the team in every game. That's your choice. The rest of us will enjoy watching our beloved Buckeyes one last time before next September.

Unreal attitude.

There’s only 12-15 games every year and you aren’t going to watch because we lost one game…

 

[OregonBuckeye]

Have you seen him throw the ball? Why would you want to see that? We want to see Lincoln.

Have you seen Lincoln throw the ball? I've seen Devin throw some dimes. He has a live arm. Let's see how he does with all the 1st-string practice reps

I don’t have any inside knowledge but I could see McCord landing at Louisville to play for Jeff Brohm. They had decent success with a similar style QB in Jack Plummer. Brohm likes pocket QBs and is know for developing decent QBs.
