The Bengals and Reds will always get top billing. In the very big picture, in the general public, there is not much interest in college basketball until the NCAA Tourney starts and people put their $5 or $10 in the office bracket pool.

I can understand that but it doesn't mean we can't improve on the interest by generating good conversation on the local air waves. Especially with the Bengals season over and the draft not until April. The reds are still a couple of weeks away from starting Spring training. Perfect window of opportunity to increase interest in BB with March madness on the horizon and our two local teams almost assured of being participants.

Now, having said all of this, we are starting to see the improvements I talked about. We're in the Top 20....which will hopefully lead to a high seed. We're in first place, which will hopefully lead to a league championship. Our recruiting is on the upswing. Justin Jackson and Sanders have shown some impressive improvement. Even the offense has improved in the last month. It's this kind of season that will gain Mick the credibility with the doubters, but he needs to sustain it and make this the norm and not the exception. There are far worse doubters than me in this city. I still support the team with my attendance and my money and in every other way that I can. I'll complain on this forum about him at times, but I'm really liking where he has us today, and I'm certainly liking the recruits I'm seeing, so he should be able to sustain this success. Obviously, next year could be a challenge after losing SK, JJ and Rubles. He really needs an overachieving year and then hopefully this program really takes off as these recruits get some experience under their belts. |
