Just trying to gauge how Ohio State fans feel about their Bowl game Dallas is a FUN place to go. Not as fun as New Orleans. I never had more fun than watching Texas beat UGA in the Sugar Bowl a few years ago, in a J6 bowl. The Sugar Bowl tickets now cost 3X what we paid for those. I won't be attending in person. That said, after doing some searching... I DID in fact purchase a $50 ticket on Texas in Vegas in September, before the Bama game... It was 24-1. I had forgotten about it. I buy one EVERY year.... I'm due. |

Im a little worried about the Buckeyes in the Cotton Bowl. They started as a 6.5b favorite and within days Missouri is now a 1 point favorite. OSU has seen 13 players enter the portal including starting QB Kyle McCord and running backs Chip Tryannum and Evan Pryor. Mayan Williams is already out due to injury so the Bucks are very thin at running back. Most of the other portal players were special team and buried on the debth chart but if Marvin Harrison Jr and Emeka Egbuka opt out - offense could be an adventure, get ready to hear Carnell Tate and Brandon Iniss as replacements.
Our daughter and son-in-law are taking us out to dinner the night of the game to thank us for their recent wedding. This was set before the bowl schedule came out and we don't have many other options as they are moving to Singapore in early January - she got an amazing offer to run a couple companies over there for a couple years. The dinner may spare me the agony of watching the Bucks look really bad against Missouri. Hopefully all the defensive players will decide to play.
On a separate note, I hate what college football has become. I've loved college football since the first game I ever watched but the portal, NIL, conference reallignment, fans with unrealistic expectations and quite honestly, all the talking heads who call themselves experts have done serious damage to the game I used to know. Just my 2 cents worth.

So what is there fun to do in Dallas? Just curious. If someone went to the Cotton Bowl, what is there else to do in Dallas?

We went to Dallas a few years ago for the OSU/TCU game and had a great time. We stayed in Grapevine at an air b & b and it was a couple blocks away from their annual wine festival which was a lot of fun. We did the JFK tour and went to the Stockyards in Ft. Worth. AT & T stadium was very cool and the Buckeyes won, all in all a great weekend! |

These PSEG lines (and games themselves) are soooo impacted by the 'opt' outs.....and I don't blame draft prospects for avoiding them one bit. The Exhibition post season needs to be replaced by a full scale inclusive playoff, where the top players are more likely to be loyal to old state u. The championship divisions of NCAA football figured this out decades and decades ago.

Just trying to gauge how Ohio State fans feel about their Bowl game Not excited at all. It will almost like watching the spring game. We will be without 75% of our offensive skill players and playing Mizzou does not excite anyone. |
