I watched the giraffe abortions that were Air Force and South Carolina, so I’ll certainly watch this one. I do miss the days when Bowls mattered enough that everyone wanted to play in them, but I get why they don’t. The sport has passed a lot of us old(er) timers by, can either watch what’s there now or do something else. With the 12 team playoff coming next year, we’ll make it pretty much every year, so everyone can bitch about losing playoff games for the foreseeable future whenever we don’t win it all…which will be most years.

I think playing meaningful postseason games should be enough for most people. Don’t think we’ll see tons of guys sitting in those types of matchups. Going to be a lot more fun than what we currently have I think.

I wasn’t the one saying pedantic shit about the thread being doughboys and typing in fake toddler speak … but I think the sideshow has run its course. Certainly won’t begrudge someone for feeling differently about something, just would expect the same in return.

When was the last time Ohio State played in a pointless game?

You could say Utah Rose Bowl, but the Rose Bowl is never pointless. Against USC - but that was Rose Bowl too.

I won't lie. I probably won't make the slightest effort to watch this game.

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.

Wow. I think it's time to just step away from here for a while. This place is really starting to sound like a bunch of spoiled, entitled bandwagon fans
Did the season go like wanted? Nope. Do some changes need to be made? Without a doubt. But I remember before the season began, people both here and in the media were predicting 2-3 losses. The Bucks lost 1. Yep, it was to TCUN and that really sucks and we can point to many reasons why it happened. But all the negativity and vitriol towards staff and in some cases players is out of hand. I've followed the Bucks for over 60 years and never believed in the "Natty or Bust" mentality because almost every year you find yourself disappointed. I'll support my team regardless of where or who they play. I won't whine or complain about it. Then I'll hope neede change takes place and we see improvement next year. There is far too much negativity in the real world, I don't want to constantly read it here in a place that is something of an escape from that world.

Those that choose to feel that way, that's your choice. The rest of us will enjoy having the opportunity to watch our Buckeyes one last time before the way too long off season and next September.
Sheesh, this place is starting to sound like Bucknuts.

Totally agreed.

Shoot I was nervous about losing a few as well before we pulled out the ND game.

The season went better than a lot of fans predicted and yeah it sucks to lose the one game we couldn’t but I’ll always be excited to watch Ohio State football.

I grew up watching the Buckeyes in the 80s and 90s. The Cotton Bowl isn’t anywhere close to what the Alamo Bowl, or Liberty Bowl used to be. Our fanbase is incredibly spoiled and it’s become overrun with people who are probably too young to remember times when we weren’t at this level. For fucks sake, we lost on our final possession to the (now) number one team in the country on the road. I’ll remind you, this was a game that we were an underdog in.

Yes, not getting into the playoffs sucks, but the sky isn’t falling. Any opportunity to watch the Buckeyes play a ranked SEC team is more than enough of a reason for me to get excited to watch it.
