2024-25 BOWL GAME WATCH PARTY

[NDWarrior]

I know there's all this Irish swagger about playing OSFU, and we owe them a beat down for sure for two bowl game and two regular season losses, but with the Buckeyes, you never know which version of this team you'll get. Maybe tonight's 2nd half team or the one against MI, or it could be the one that came out guns a blazing against TN and OR. Besides, maybe we'll be playing against one of our future QBs

 

[GoldenBoy3]

So I just got back from dinner but I’ve seen both teams play a lot this year. While they are more talented there is something to be said about a TEAM! I’ll admit that I was a negative nancy after going down 10-0 but that was me thinking we were gassed and the injuries were finally brought us to the end of the road. But no, we adapted and overcame and won the damn game. One thing I learned is this team will not quit. Had OSU won this game 41-10 I’d probably be shitting bricks. I can sleep at night knowing Freeman will have this team in the best possible position. This team has bought into what Freeman is selling and that is a dangerous trait.

 

[JamIrish]

You want Texas here.

 

[OhioIrish]

I’m having a hard time deciding a rooting interest. Is Texas actually better than the Buckeyes? Was the Ohio State the past two weeks was a mirage?

I think human nature dictates that ND would play more confidently against Texas, seeing as they lost to Georgia twice. To me, that is worth a lot at this point in the season.

 

[Riddickulous]

Where has Jeremiah Smith been tonight?

 

[IrishWayDomer]

You want Texas here.

Agree. OSU has massive size and physicality on defense. Texas can get ran on and Ewers is not scary. These WRs would wear our DBs to the bone.

 

[NotKoon]

We can beat both of these teams and we can lose against both of them.

That being said, I want Ohio St. I want redemption for 10 men on the field. I want to watch that fanbase implode after Day loses to an alum as Tressel cheers along in an ND sweater

 

[Blazers46]

Hold maybe, PI eh… maybe not very catchable

 

[KMac151993]

O$u holds a lot

 

[NDWarrior]

Yes Kirby, was just going to say, some serious OSFU holding there they got away with

 

[NorthDakota]

Not sure if a mirage, but they sure seem to get in their own way and be very streaky

 

[IrishLion]

I think I prefer playing Texas.

I think Golden can scheme either Ewers or Howard into fits…

Difference for me is that OSU’s defensive front seven would smother Riley’s ability to improvise and find little chunks of yards because of how they play.

Texas may have a better pass defense… but with 11 days to get Love healthier, I think Denbrock is gonna lean on the RB’s and designed runs to Riley, so the Texas pass D is a moot point in the context of what ND is good at and wants to do.

Osu has the most talent and is by far more explosive on both side of the ball. They are just getting outclassed by Pete.

 

[ab2cmiller]

I still can’t comprehend a no call on that holding

 

[irishff1014]

These refs seem to get worse as the game goes on. The just screwed Texas with a no call holding by the right tackle. It’s not like is was barely and a hold it was very obvious.

Texas. No question.

Their fans are obnoxious, but they're not Ohio State levels of obnoxious.

 

[NDpendent]

Texas has to have some of the best looking girls in the country in their fanbase

 

[Dale]

Negative EPA on OSU penalties has been humongous

 

[KMac151993]

Big play.

 

[Crazy Balki]

We can beat the OSU team from tonight and against Michigan, not the OSU team that played Tenn and Oregon

Eh. I think Ohio State isn't as good as they were in the Tennessee or Oregon game, and they're not as bad as they were against Michigan.

Oregon's defense is AWFUL, and they were far and away the biggest fraud of them all. Tennessee was the one example of why SEC teams don't want to play northern teams up north in the winter. Also, their secondary is uber trash.

 

[rtrn2glory]

I really like what Texas is doing. They survived the script and have Howard and Chip confused.

If Ohio St wins Al has to take a look at what they did. They've made them look human again which gives me hope

 

[IrishLion]

I think @Dale might be right… Howard simply turning back into a pumpkin

 

[Crazy Balki]

I think @Dale might be right… Howard simply turning back into a pumpkin

Greaaaaaat timing buddy...

 

[Dale]

Tonight has basically been KSU Howard now that he’s running it

Big arm, not accurate, run threat, moxy

Real ones know I wanted two years of that before getting Hartman

 

[NDpendent]

So much for going to bed early tonight after the long night yesterday. Sucks knowing the kids will wake me up at 6am tomorrow

 

[IrishWayDomer]

Go Ahead and go into a few OTs game

 

[Dale]

Is Ewers, Wisner/Blue, Helm, an injured Bond, an injured Golden and Wingo/Moore better than NDs skill guys?

I don’t really think so

 

[Dale]

ACC refs

 

[INLaw]

Are game all flappy bird and psu taunt bullshit. And that that right there is a fucking penalty

 

[IrishLax]

That’s a bullshit call to make in that moment. A 15 yard penalty for pointing.
