Go Irish. Beat up on those Beavers! Heading to a bar soon with about 15 drunken friends who all will be rooting against ND. That should be interesting.

bowl games on a weekday during office hours should be against the law

I would be curious to see how many of these transfer QBs have done well. Watching Devon Leery (sp?) of Kentucky and there is no way they can't be disappointed in his performance all year. We hear about the Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels and Travis Jordans of the world, but how many have been busts?

Really hate seeing Will Shipley being carted off the field.

That Clemson-Kentucky game was indicative of the chit I said happens in these crazy ass Bowl games. What a 4th Quarter! Not pretty, but sure was exciting. As far as this ND and OSU game, OSU sure is hurting as to they have playing, and see ND is doing exactly what they should be doing. Looking forward to the Missouri-OSU(the "other" OSU ) game this evening!

Obviously I was pleased by ND’s performance today. They looked good in all phases. I know Oregon State was down a bunch of players but so was ND. I’m guessing that Agelli will use today’s performance to try to land a starting QB position elsewhere. But hey, at least he can say his career record as a starter at ND is 1-0.

Lack of discipline by Mizzou front line. Cost them dearly when they should have gotten the ball at midfield. Stupid, stupid stuff.

Ummmm...#88 for Ohio State slapped the shit out of his head and he retaliated. It could not have been more obvious OSU benefitted from a ref call. Should have had to punt!! If they would have shown more looks, you will see what I am talking about. He basically punched the Missouri defender in the head, yet Missouri got punished!!

And damn it, they get called for delay of game! Shit, that would’ve been the most interesting moment of the first half of what is a 3-0 game.

I took the video down as I didn't realize it was going to constantly play, but you get the drift that the OSU player smacked the chit out of the Mizzou player.

I get it, but you have to have your cool. It would have been at least decent field position. Ohio State defense playing lights out. Mizzou facing a totally depleted Buckeye offense. This is one of the most awful watches I can recall since the infamous Auburn 3 Miss State 2 game.

Getting real hard to watch this game. It’s so hard to watch that I can’t stop watching. I have to see who wins this ugly thing. Mizzou has a nice drive going in between the undisciplined penalties by both teams. And every Ohio State tackler is going for a WWE knockout hit. I should be in bed but I’m hooked.

And that was a hell of a drive.

And that was a hell of a drive. It sure was. First sign of life in this game for quite awhile.

Luther Burden must be hurt. Haven't seen him do much of anything.

Mizzou has suddenly come alive.

Now Mizzou hits a big pass when the Buckeyes jumped offsides.

Two 90+ yard TD drives for Mizzou. I thought the 15 yard penalty was a little gift. But doesn’t take away the rest of it. They’ve put together 2 impressive drives during clutch time.

Attendance 70K. Pretty damn good. Imagine a very big Mizzou turn out and Ohio State travels well. If Orange Bowl has half that I will be surprised. Peach will do well...Ole Miss and Penn State travel well and locals in Atlanta love CFB.

Looks like the Mizzou Ballgame.

That will officially do it. Good win for Mizzou.

The Tigers from Missouri looked pretty good tonight. One excuse used was the Buckeyes were down to the 3rd QB. If that is the case, how about FSU.
But back to the Tigers - Cody Schrader sure looked good. I liked his comment - if the pros are looking for an athlete - then they better look someone else - because I am a football player. And a heck of a good one, IMO.
