Thoughts on Ohio State/Missouri Tomorrow

[swmohusker]

Definitely root for OSU. Start a streak for the big ten. It would also kill ESPN bc they would have to cover a big ten game. I am from Missouri but still want them to get beat. Not too bad were auburn would jump tosu but they need to lose. We need them to lose to help Midwest recruiting.

[waylanm]

No way can I root for Ohio State.....EVER! I understand it would make the big ten look better, but really wouldn't this kind of be a fake perception? Most teams in the big ten do need to get better. A lot better.

 

I would love to see Missouri win. To me they are still a big 12 team. They haven't been in the SEC long enough to claim they are an SEC team. I would like to see a basically big 12 offense that supposedly can't score on the "tough SEC defense", and a big 12 defense that supposedly "can't stop anyone, all they play is offense in the big 12" beat up on Auburn.

 

I would love for ESPN and the SEC lovers to eat crow, but who am I kidding? They will talk of Mizzou as a new SEC powerhouse, and not from a good big 12 conference!

Tonight is a no-lose situation.

 

If Bucky wins.......we will rationalize the whole....."good for our conference train of thought, etc."

 

If Bucky loses..............how can you not be happy when the Urbanite gets spanked?

 

If Mizzou wins......pretty much guarantees NO SEC team wins the title.

 

If Mizzou loses.........see Urbanite answer above, but extrapolate it to the entire Mizzou fan base.

 

I'm going to bed happy under any circumstances !

[JJ Husker]

I'll be pulling for tOSU because I think that would be best for the B1G. Plus I don't feel MSU is very good so being for them would be an exercise in futility.

 

I will also be pulling for Mizzou. I still like to see Big 8 teams (sans CU) do well when it won't negatively impact us. And I hate to admit it but I like their unis this year. Beats the old calf sh#t mustard they wore back in the day. I expect this to be a barnburner of a game. Both teams are playing at a high level.

Bucky is a badger and is Wisconsin....just an FYI

 

We'll accept Buckeyes, THE Ohio State University, tOSU, OSU, Bucknuts, Deez Nuts, or nuts

Have to pull for mizzou just bc espn has made it out like its a foregone conclusion that auburn will win and deserves to be in the mnc whether Osu and fsu win or not.

My mistake.......I meant as an abbreviation for Bucknuts or some such derivation.........

 

However, you really don't get to CHOOSE what others deign to label you.................just like Huskers didn't get to choose to have that idiot post the "No Pelini is better than Bo Pelini" sign behind the Game Day set this morning where it had absolutely no relevance to the broadcast and/or teams involved

[WoodyHayes1951]

yeah, gotta root for Mizzou.

 

Midwestern school and them beating the "team of destiny" would be nice.

 

Going from "team of destiny" to Cotton Bowl school would be pretty cool.

[Thanks_Tom RR]

Meh, a Buckeye title would help one program...Ohio State. The perception would change from "the Big Ten sucks" to "the Big Ten sucks except for Ohio State". A pair of BCS bowl wins helps the conference much more overall, if MSU upsets tOSU and wins the Rose Bowl, then tOSU wins whatever bowl they would get.

If Ohio St beats Michigan St, then Ohio St has a chances at the BCS NCG and Michigan St still goes to the Rose Bowl. I would think two programs that win the BCS title and Rose Bowl is better for the conference, in general, than one winning the Rose Bowl and the other winning another BCS bowl game but no BCS NCG.

[3rd and long]

A OSU win is good for the conference so I'll pull for them.

 

Have to pull for Misouri becauase if Auburn wins it will be nauseating listening to how Auburn should be in the title game.

[Hammerhead]

I'm a Husker fan, not a Big 10 fan. I'll take any NC scenario that doesn't involve Ohio State.

True, but there's no guarantee that the Rose Bowl would invite a 2-loss MSU squad that didn't win their conference

[WoodyHayes1951]

I don't think Sparty gets invited to the Rose Bowl Game.

 

Gotta be top 14 I thought.

 

1 Big Ten loss is like 2 SEC losses. If OSU wins then I see MSU dropping more than 4 spots in the poll.

[Husker66]

living in Kansas city, not sure I can handle mizzu fan if they win, let alone if OSU or FSU loses and MU goes to the natl championship...im sick we are watching other teams play today...this sucks.

[MichiganDad3]

SEC hype needs to end. I root for OSU to build the BIG brand. I root for every BIG team in the bowls for the same reason. I root for Missery because it hurts the SEC brand. if Missery wins. An average Big 12 team wins the SEC.
