Ohio State social media team roasted for Cotton Bowl ‘desert’ post

Published:
Ohio State’s social media team has college football fans scratching their heads a bit with a recent post about the Buckeyes’ bowl game.
Ryan Day’s squad set to face Missouri in the Cotton Bowl. The game is played in Arlington, Texas at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys. The official X account of OSU football called the game a showdown in the desert, puzzling fans as the Dallas metro does not have any “desert” characteristics or features.
