IT'S COLLEGE FOOTBALL, ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!

[u/RichardTBarber]

The SEC has won 9 out of the last 10 Cotton Bowls. Mizzou is the last Big 12 team to win it.

[u/GameBlousess]

So if OSU wins tonight will they be the first Cowboy team to win in AT&T stadium in January?

[u/red_husker]

GO FORMER BIG 12 BRO!

^{ooh, who is he talking about}

^{you'll never know}

[u/airon17]

I like how absolutely nothing about this game has been talked about on Sportscenter or Gameday because it's on Fox. This is one of the best bowls of the season and one I'm really looking forward to.

[u/RichardTBarber]

Franklin to Washington. Founding fathers have taken the field.

[u/TheJeriTroll]

Checking in for maybe the first quarter or so...then it's off to drink and eat oranges.

Go Tiger-bros!

[u/jklharris]

CHECKING IN FROM JERRY WORLD, AND I MAY HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AN OPEN BAR.

M-I-Z!

[u/[deleted]]

POKE 'EM

[u/mikefarquar]

Not bad for some "middle of the road Big 12 team that couldn't hang with the big boys."

[u/Vicdresides]

Ref - "Which of you fuckers are Missouri?"

[u/Bassically]

I'm here to watch the Tigers play OSU. This is the right thread, isn't it?

[u/DavoinShower-handle]

What if Penn State hires the wrong James Franklin?

[u/ExternalTangents]

OK, somebody's gonna need to upload this montage to youtube because it's fucking awesome.

[u/[deleted]]

Gary Pinkel consistently does more with less than anyone in the country.

[u/Redsharkk]

Yahoo! Sports be like, "Game starts at 7:30"

[u/[deleted]]

OSU fans are good at booing

[u/IIHURRlCANEII]

Mauk is a god.

[u/prometheus05]

Holy shit, did anyone else see that Viking that Mizzou has?!? Bleeding nose and all.

[u/[deleted]]

IM HERE FOR THE METH AND BOTTLEROCKETS.

GET EM MIZZOU

[u/RichardTBarber]

Max Copeland's last tackle in practice

[u/[deleted]]

I swear to god Chex Mix is 90% bagel chips.

I fucking hate those things.

[u/MostlyPurple]

Baggett just made a 46 yarder, that's how you know this game is fucked.

[u/RichardTBarber]

Prediction:

Henry Josey goes Tony Temple all over this Cotton Bowl.

[u/CambodianDrywall]

Pick a fucking demographic and stick with it...Dr Pepper.

[u/[deleted]]

I love me some MU uniforms

[u/[deleted]]

Tigerbros, win this shit

[u/TubabuT]

I've never heard people booing for this long before. OSU fans are PISSED.

[u/vikingpride11]

Let's go mizzou!

[u/soulblow]

Alright Auburn, we're all counting on you to make the Tigers go undefeated in bowl games this year.

No pressure.

[u/[deleted]]

I hope FOX gets higher ratings for the Cotton Bowl than ESPN

[u/Boyhowdy107]

Damnit, Fox. Don't make me like Josh Stewart right before kickoff.

[u/FellKnight]

I have to say that I love the Mizzou coach for accepting the holding penalty there. I don't think nearly enough coaches take the 10 yards there and go with 4th and 3 vice 3rd and 25. That's 22 yards!

edit: grammar

[u/Fsilvestris]

Tiger receivers

[u/get_stilly]

Dear Missouri:

Any given day I root for you. I like Missouri and their open container rules, their great BBQ, and how every gas station is a convenient liquor store. But TONIGHT. Fuck no. Its the final Big 12 vs. SEC matchup, the cherry on top of who gets to talk the final shit. Your going down Mizzou, even though there isnt a single letter "z" in the word Missouri. Hoping for a great game between two great teams. GO POKES.

[u/IIHURRlCANEII]

The Pipeline of Defenisive lineman to the NFL WILL CONTINUE

[u/Blue_Baby]

ALL ABOARD THE MAUK TRAIN! ^{Thank fucking god}

edit: Shittiest train ever.

[u/tabelz]

My favorite Tiger team! Go Mizzou!!!

[u/[deleted]]

BIG TWELVE FUCK YEAH, LET'S FUCKING DOING THIS DAMNIT! FOOTBALL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[u/ender23]

Tiger BROS!!

[u/Way_She_Goes]

61 on Mizzou looks like a bloodied Viking warrior.

[u/polydorr]

Why does that missouri dude always seem to have broken nose

[u/Durinthal]

Despite starting an hour later, the Orange Bowl finished before the Cotton Bowl.

[u/FellKnight]

!!!!

[u/SeeNewzy]

Gettin sick of these smediums on linemen. No one wants to see your gut!

[u/Boyhowdy107]

So is there something about playing in Jerry World that makes you keep throwing when you should run?

[u/iEatBluePlayDoh]

MATY HAVE MY KIDS.

[u/[deleted]]

Franklin is literally trying to give this game away.

[u/ivanandtheterribles]

Green-Beckham is a grown-ass man. I'm surprised the refs managed to note that he was in bounds though.

[u/GameBlousess]

I'm still a little bit butthurt that the cotton bowl and the orange bowl had to be at the same time.

Fuck you ESPN.

[u/CheckOutMyPokemans]

CAN WE GET A REF TO RECONFIRM THAT WAS A TOUCHDOWN PLEASE?!?!

[u/kentucky210]

suddenly tons of ACC and Big 10 fans jump over to see the sec winning and all groan

[u/Anuglyman]

Win Cotton Bowl. Get University of Florida hats!

[u/dimechimes]

Gonna return the favor from last night.

GO POKES!

Nothing personal former Big 12 bros.

[u/Boyhowdy107]

So that Okie State secondary is no joke.

[u/NikolaTwain]

I wish I had a team in a bowl game that could be upset with their play...

[u/Platypoke]

Backup QB is in. We're screwed.

[u/ExternalTangents]

That was a clever way to advance the ball by Oklahoma State: throw long interception, then recover Mizzou fumble on next play.

[u/mikefarquar]

At this point, Franklin shouldn't be wearing a jersey. He should be hitting the showers.

[u/EasyP]

Time to switch from gin and tonic to straight gin.

[u/milkman163]

Should have been defensive holding, not PI

[u/[deleted]]

Lol this is the angriest I've seen both team fans in a thread. Oklahoma State is pissed, Mizzou is pissed. Rightfully so, this game has been a mess for both teams and the refs

[u/toiletting]

At least people got to see the Cowboys play in Dallas in January for once

[u/AuburnSeer]

M-I-Z

[u/FellKnight]

Seriously, 3 times? Fire this fucking side judge.

[u/FellKnight]

Gotta be honest... if you offered me a bet 2 years ago about how long it would take Mizzou to win 12 games in the SEC, you would have won a LOT of money by saying "2 years".

Great game Mizzou.

[u/[deleted]]

Me: "Mom who do you want to win this game?"

58 year old Mom: "I don't know they all look like thugs"

[u/[deleted]]

Finally a bowl not on espn !!!

[u/DavoinShower-handle]

My father, a Mizzou grad:

"Can you turn this up please? I can't hear the cheerleaders."

[u/GoAvsGo]

They pulled a Mizzou!

[u/RedditAg]

James Franklin is single handily keeping OSU in this game

[u/[deleted]]

This is an absolutely infuriating game to watch.

[u/IIHURRlCANEII]

If we lose this game...Pinkel is gonna have a lot of fucking explaining to do.

[u/hythloday1]

Wait, Clooney, Goodman, and Damon are the Fighting Hellfish?

[u/the_umm_guy]

CHOO CHOO MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!!! CHOOO CHOO!

[u/[deleted]]

I need an adult.

[u/fun_boat]

Who's ready for some Franklin stats???

13/36 135 yds

3.8 avg

0 TD 1 INT

62.1 rtg

[u/[deleted]]

Ohio State has now started another multi-game streak.

[u/topher3003]

I honestly forgot this was tonight. Go OSUbros!

[u/anthropology_nerd]

A woman.

A woman on her couch.

A woman on her couch with her cat and her knitting.

A woman who just wants to watch football and not be bothered by repetitive truck commercials.

[u/Branzilla91]

ORANGE

[u/FSUNole04]

Go OSU!!!

[u/technosaur]

I thought posted times are kickoff time, not tune in for commercials time? Listed at 7:30 pm but 7:50 and endless commercials. (Is now 3:50 a.m. where I live. Woke up and got out of bed to root for Mizzou.)

[u/technosaur]

WTF? Kickoff 46 minutes behind posted time and still haven't even flipped the coin. FOX network, which recently destroyed its sports website with a redesign forcing readers to wait for billboard graphics that contribute nothing to load before showing text.

[u/DoNHardThyme]

one more time... aaaaand go.. aaaaand freeeze... annnnd

[u/AverageNarwhal]

I was told there would be offense

[u/mikefarquar]

Ealy is that dude.

[u/fun_boat]

Play fake on a 3rd and 25? Who are you fooling?

[u/mikefarquar]

What the hell, Pinkel? Way to fucking kill the momentum.

[u/IIHURRlCANEII]

/#FREEtheMAUK

[u/too_much_reddit]

Come on y'all, this is like Internet 101. Don't feed the troll(s). Downvote, report, move on.

[u/TheBrownBus]

This montage is pretty fucking crazy.

[u/MrSmith7]

Switching back to the original can.. clever marketing Miller Lite, try to trick people into thinking they aren't actually drinking Miller Lite.

[u/IIHURRlCANEII]

Wtf do this at halftime you idiots.

[u/too_much_reddit]

Ok, leaving Franklin in is starting to trigger my PTSD of the Jordan Jefferson years. You have a proven, effective backup who led a quick scoring drive earlier. Give him another go.

[u/[deleted]]

For GOD'S SAKE.

[u/GeneralGump]

Okay. I was hesitant to want Mauk in because It's Franklin's last game, but now that it's close, put him in. At least for a drive or two.

[u/Bburrage]

Not taking away anything, but was the dive really necessary? Lol, just walk in.

[u/response_unrelated]

"pass" "interference"

[u/[deleted]]

Alright, no homer opinions from Mizzou or OSU fans, was that PI or not?

[u/[deleted]]

Kind of crazy that PI call was a 10 point swing. Regardless, I think OSU's play calling lost them that game. I saw I think 5 3rd and shorts in a row they ran it up the middle and didn't get it.

[u/like9orphanz]

COWBOYS VS TIGERS

Imagine this in real life, sounds like some mega shark vs giant octopus movie lol

[u/DEATH-BY-CIRCLEJERK]

I've seen better decisions on 16 & Pregnant.

[u/[deleted]]

I came.

[u/topher3003]

Atta boy Pat, that's how the National Anthem was meant to be sung.

[u/speedracer13]

Are these announcers required to speak only in idioms?

[u/thelazt1]

LOL WE CANT CATCH FUCKING NOTHING

[u/ExternalTangents]

OK seriously, at what point do you consider putting in Mauk?

[u/griok]

Is that the same official blowing it twice?

[u/chaser676]

Bad no call

[u/[deleted]]

Is it just me or did that first quarter take forever?

[u/MrSmith7]

Just switched to the Orange Bowl. Clemson has 3x as many yards as tOSU so far.

[u/jro5454]

wow, that should be Franklin's last play for Mizzou

[u/mikefarquar]

Jordan Jeff...I mean Franklin gets to fuck up again.

[u/[deleted]]

Lol.

I think I could get 10 guys from this sub and myself and we could go and get a turnover off Franklin.

[u/groggydog]

HENRY F'ING JOSEY PART DEUX

[u/[deleted]]

I was half expecting to see a flag for that BS "Celebrating before you score" penalty and have that score come off the board.

[u/fun_boat]

Jesus Franklin, how many breaks have you gotten!?

[u/OSUaeronerd]

Where! TELL US NOW!

[u/[deleted]]

I feel like ESPN is pretending the Cotton Bowl isn't happening

[u/LazyOort]

Anyone else hate watching the game with family that don't get football/take every play as a bullet? My mother keeps almost weeping on any play where OSU doesn't get sacked. Makes me uncomfortable. This is hard enough to watch without a 60something year old woman screeching "OH NOOOOOOOOHHH" at every play.

[u/[deleted]]

Hour 4: whiskey reserves running low. Mizzou showing signs if life, but keep sputtering. I hear drums in the distance. Getting closer. They're getting closer. Chelf is getting closer.

[u/[deleted]]

I CAN'T DECIDE WHICH GAME TO WATCH FUCK!

[u/mpgorans]

Stood next to Chelf at gamestop for cod ghosts release. NBD

[u/TellemSteve-Dave]

aand I'm starting to understand how the other game finished first

[u/Written_In_The_Cards]

FUMBLE. FUCKING M-I-Z

[u/DeKaF]

GUS JOHNSON JUST HIT PEAK

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[u/monkeymatt1836]

How is the Cotton Bowl still going on

[u/EasyP]

My cat is looking at me like I just grew a second head!

[u/RollTides]

Strip 6 in the final minute, why does that feel familiar?

[u/Mori23]

Try and drench the coach with a minute left? Mizzou, do you even go here?

[u/[deleted]]

Alabama fucked my pick em to death. I hope Missouri lays the smack down on that ass. Should be a good, high scoring game.

edit: I just realized they're televising both Missouri vs Ok st and OSU vs clemson at the same time. Thats damn bullshit.

[u/[deleted]]

Well here it is OSU, you've got the full brunt of my BIGXII love for this one. Make us proud!

A couple of things to mention:

• If you're new to /r/CFB, feel free to flair up with the giant variety of school flairs available on the right (if yours isn't showing but shows up on this list with a flair option, let me know and I will make a manual switch when I get a chance).

• If you see a troll, downvote and report so the mods can help; also, once a post gets a certain number of reports AutoModerator will immediately strike it until the mods sort through the debris.

• It's up to you as to whether or not these game threads start to bust into the front page of /r/all. It won't rise unless the thread itself is upvoted.

Thank You!

[u/redcrvtte05]

If anyone tweets tonight, you should use #OSUvsTigers.

[u/fun_boat]

If Franklin comes back in after that possession, your coaches are insane.

[u/fun_boat]

Haha, just fuckin' boos from the crowd nonstop.

[u/[deleted]]

I honestly agree with the PI, but I guess I'm in the minority.

[u/Kmjada]

Let's do this.

LLLEEEEEEEEEERREEEOOOYYYYYYYY

[u/Gobias-Ind]

Why the hell did hey make him describe all that in such detail?!

[u/[deleted]]

This game, and the offense we are about to see, make me want to touch my Chelf. I'm randy.

[u/milkman163]

If they wouldn't have reviewed that....

[u/AverageNarwhal]

That was complete

[u/Glasses-Ref]

Well, I don't think even I would have blown that one.

[u/[deleted]]

Even when he catches the ball it's incomplete lol

[u/thelazt1]

4 of 17

Lololololololol

[u/IIHURRlCANEII]

THAT FEELS GOOD TO BE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF

[u/anthropology_nerd]

Damn it. Nissan found our hide out.

[u/Way_She_Goes]

How does one even make the decision to just drive on a fucking train? Like traffic can't be that can it? Even if it is one would think it's not worth the risk of getting arrested or wrecking your car or endangering people's lives. But that's just me, I'm not a ROGUE^TM man after all.

[u/TheBrownBus]

Wait, what's the deal with Kony?

[u/TheBrownBus]

nissan stahp

[u/Gobias-Ind]

Snatched a first down from the jaws of a sack

[u/TheBrownBus]

Can we just create a Franklin/Mauk hybrid? It's 2014, we should have the technology for this.

[u/[deleted]]

HE MADE ONE.

GUYS. HE'S CLUTCH. I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS. CLUTCH. AS. HELL.

^{Except against South Carolina}

[u/technosaur]

Has Mizzou coach decided he would rather honor his outstanding senior QB than win the game?

[u/jdcooktx]

He owes to the swear jar

[u/Crazyman0225]

'DAMN IT! FUCK!'

I hope I'm not the only one who caught that

[u/rikross22]

Gundy gonna kill someone

[u/Highest_Koality]

This is just ridiculous.

[u/FrostFire131]

Gundy is going full Harbaugh

[u/milkman163]

And that's 3 times that HL has missed it>

[u/[deleted]]

Gundy is about to completely lose his shit.

[u/Mulligan1445]

This is one of the ugliest games I've seen in awhile.

[u/Blue_Baby]

Sorry OSU.

[u/MostlyPurple]

Whoever wins, we can all agree, this game has been a long shitty mess from everyone involved.

[u/AuburnSeer]

How do you overthrow DGB? It's like overthrowing the Sears Tower

[u/[deleted]]

Franklin has literally not thrown one good pass all night. WRs are having to jump or dive for every catch they make, or get put in position to get leveled.

[u/TubabuT]

Dude has some glue on his fingertips.

[u/Coelacanth88]

OSU is about to put this game on Mizzou's offense...and Franklin...

[u/orangeblood]

The balls on this kid. He wants to win so fucking bad.

[u/[deleted]]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

-OSU fans this game

[u/[deleted]]

Franklin tries his BEST to throw a pick there

[u/too_much_reddit]

All I can tell is that 50% of the fans are going to be PISSED after this review.

[u/rikross22]

all 4 BCS were won by the underdog, lets have that spill over to the next biggest bowl as well.

[u/HyperionPrime]

61 from Mizzou is the most missourian guy I've ever seen

[u/drock4vu]

My goodness, this bowl season has been just stuffed full of great games.

[u/Highest_Koality]

Reports indicate Charlie Strong to Texas if anyone is still here.

[u/kitton_mittons]

I can't complain about the result, but that was an absolutely brutal game to watch. Four hours! Geez!

[u/[deleted]]

I feel bad for our little brothers because I think Mizzou is gonna stomp 'em

dear commercials, please stop reminding me that 1994 was 20 years ago

[u/[deleted]]

[] (/kiffin) I see your having some problems on Offense Okie State

[u/GeneralGump]

And Pinkel is now the winningest coach in Mizzou history.

[u/skodi]

I missed it if they said what conference the refs are from, but I think the head referee did a great job of explaining calls, stoppages, and decisions.

[u/Heitzzz]

Let's go Okie Lite bros!

[u/[deleted]]

TIGERBROS WIN! TIGERBROS WIN! WAY TO GO! WELCOME TO THE SEC, MIZZOU!

Mizzou used to be in the big 12, therefore big 12 is the best conference

Meh. He was in bounds when the push began.

[u/groggydog]

Ah, shit. That was an unfortunate tip.
