Category

SportsTranscript
00:00 Ohio State has basically already said we do not care what happens at the Cotton Bowl.
00:07 The Cotton Bowl, we laugh.
00:09 We laugh at the Cotton Bowl.
00:10 Kyle McCord already entering into the transfer portal.
00:15 Head coach Ryan Day basically, I assume, took him to a meeting and said, "Buddy, we are
00:21 going to get someone.
00:22 We're going to have someone who's better than you as our quarterback next year.
00:26 So you can go play at Tulane or wherever you want, but you are not welcome here anymore."
00:30 So they are going to have one of their backup quarterbacks playing.
00:33 Ryan Day hasn't even said which one.
00:35 Could be Devin Brown, could be Lincoln Kiteholes.
00:37 We'll see.
00:38 Emeka Iqbuka, probably not going to play.
00:41 Marvin Harrison Jr., probably, I would actually say 0%, is Marvin Harrison Jr. going to be
00:46 playing in this game?
00:48 This will be the opt-out bowl.
00:50 On the other side, Mark, everyone from Missouri is going to play.
00:53 Missouri having a chance to win the Cotton Bowl.
00:55 This is like the Super Bowl if you are from the University of Missouri.
00:59 Yeah, and look, I think Missouri is going to end up closing a favorite when it's all
01:03 said and done.
01:04 This is a game I already bet because I knew this number was going to move and move fast.
01:08 There was no way Ohio State had any interest in playing in this game.
01:11 And look, I would argue that let's just say everybody else is playing other than Marvin
01:15 Harrison Jr., I still would bet Missouri in this game because the motivation factor.
01:20 And guess what?
01:21 Ohio State without Marvin Harrison Jr. is a pretty pedestrian offense.
01:23 So the defense is pretty good, but you guys have heard me tout the Missouri drum all season
01:27 long and Brady Cook and how good he's been.
01:29 Yes, this is a huge game for the program, a huge win for the program.
01:33 They're going to go all out to do this thing.
01:34 Eli Drinkwits has kind of turned this whole thing around for Missouri and made them actually
01:38 relevant.
01:39 That's what happens when you get good quarterback play, guys.
01:40 And Brady Cook next year is a guy that should be in the Heisman conversation when the season
01:44 starts because he's going to put up huge numbers there along with Luther Burden for Missouri.
01:48 So showcase game for all those guys.
01:50 And certainly Missouri, I think, is the side to go here.
01:55 (upbeat music)
