As Ohio State ‘hater,’ Michigan player admits Cotton Bowl was still 'tough to watch' https://t.co/LexJxaywRx
Michigan DT Kris Jenkins on Ohio State's Cotton Bowl debacle: "Yeah, no, I didn't like that at all. That wasn't the team we played. I mean, I'm a hater, so I don't really like to see them win, but I don't want to see them go out like that, either, That was rough."

11-2 Mizzou. New Year's Six Bowl win. Will finish solidly in the Top 10. I know they won the East in 2013 and '14, but this was their best season since joining the SEC.
Great job #Mizzou ... well-deserved

Mizzou’s biggest bowl game since Jan. 1, 1970, results in a win over Ohio State. Quite a season for the Tigers with 11 wins.
Former Division II running back Cody Schrader finishes with more than 1,800 yards rushing and receiving and Mizzou about to finish 11-2 with a Cotton Bowl win over Ohio State. Helluva job all around.
Special season for Missouri. Good to see
