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

I know that a lot of people have written off this game, but they shouldn't. This one could shape up to be a very good one. Push aside the self loathing/coach bashing and remember what first made you love OSU football. Just flip the game on and be a fan, this is a Bowl game and there's plenty on the line.
The helmets. The bowl game helmets covered in Buckeye leaves. '97 Rose Bowl after the TD I said "Take that Jake the Snake!" na na na na, my mom, who is a bigger fan than me, didn't love that.

Many have been conditioned to believe the season is over if no 4 team playoff. That will change next year but the Cotton Bowl still means something to Me. New QB going forward .

I like all the bowl games and will watch as many as possible, being retired. I enjoy college football .
Yep.One last chance to watch the Bucks before the too long off season, and I've always found some of the Bowl Games to highly entertaining. Especially the smaller ones where I really have no rooting interest and can just enjoy the game.
Can you say 'CHEEZ-IT"!?

Me and my dad hugged each other to the ground after that Boston TD, and he never let me curse but let me do it against Jake the Snake in that moment. One of my best Buckeye memories and one of the first that I can remember.

With all the players we have choosing to play, I count this is as one that matters more than bowl practices now. Seemed like we wouldn't barely have a roster, really glad that isn't the case.

Kinda thought that Day & Co has been waiting to see how many of the current Buckeyes are gonna wanna stay another year, before he goes off and offers portal players. Does it speak volumes that OL guys are not rushing to play for Frye? This bowl game is the last shot for current guys to show out prior to the draft. Only a couple have said that their NFL 'grades' were good/so so, etc. So they're looking to impress. tOSU has lost almost half a recruiting class in the portal, mostly guys with 2-3 years of eligibility, so hope alot of the upper classmen stick around to give the current frosh/sophs some time to gain experience before being thrown into the fire. Believe that Mizzou has a darn good O, with Mookie (former Buckeye), and Burden (almost ? a commit, but pursued heavily) teeing it up. Big challenge to our CBs. Comments appear to indicate that the CBs have been spending time watching film, and hopefully will be ready. Looking forward to the performance of our green QBs. Go Bucks!

The players have largely made that decision for us -- and not just Ohio State.
I get the math and business decision, but if all your best players routinely opt out -- it is the end of the season.

I've been more excited for this game as i see more and more players, who are likely headed pro, saying they will play.
