Feeling a lot more juice tonight than when the matchup was announced. Fun to see a new quarterback. Hopefully not a train wreck.

I'd rather be playing golf in Texas with the high of 56, but I'll watch football....

Brother has a brisket on the smoker this morning

been on vacation since the 20th but it's the last business day of the year and need to close a deal before 5pm
It's worth a steak diner at Archie's waeside on the boss

hopefully the Buckeyes and the new QB can close the deal - B1G looking good so far

been watching plenty of new QBs in bowl season

I honestly don't think I've ever been less excited about an Ohio State Bowl game than I am about this game tonight.

Part of it is simply that tOSU fans are spoiled. In 10 years of the CFP the Buckeyes went five times so the others feel like bad seasons.

Part of it is that even without Ohio State's recent successes, the playoffs suck all the air out of the room. It becomes a dichotomy where your team either goes to the playoff or doesn't. That isn't fair because there is a HUMONGOUS difference between teams like Georgia and Ohio State that barely missed the playoffs and teams that barely made a bowl or didn't even accomplish that.

Part of it is that with expansion coming next year This year just feels weird. With an 11-1 record next year the Buckeyes would obviously EASILY be in the playoffs so this oddly feels like a weird transitional year where missing the playoffs is simply a function of timing.

Part of it is the portal. The team I cheered for all year long is gone. The starting QB now wears Syracuse Orange. The star WR is prepping for the NFL combine. Another long-time starting WR has transferred. Major parts of the 2023 Buckeyes are gone.

Non-CFP Bowl games now feel like a Spring Game where the reason for watching is simply to see how the new players look and nobody really cares about the outcome. This is honestly my main interest in Ohio State's game tonight is simply to see how the projected 2024 starters look.

Bowl Game maybe but since the ND game I have had 0 confidence in consistent QB play.IMO Devin brings a little exuberance or zest other than a guy moves like the tin man after a rainstorm. In a tight game McCord played tight hopefully Brown plays with swagger

Badgers have 12 outgoing in the portal plus 2 NFL bound. 4 were starters, including RB, C and WR.

I'm excited to see what the youth bring.
