2016 Football Season
Phil Steele was on the Behind the Bets podcast this week...and he said "Cincinnati is loaded" and that "they are a very under the radar team". Whoa! Surprised to hear that.

Phil Steele....
I believe he also said we were "loaded" in 2013, 2014, and 2015 and look at what the results were. Fluberville will FLUB again. The over/under Vegas wins for UC is 6.5. That's a better indicator of our year up ahead and that's a horrible year when you play in the AAC.

Defense again has questions, offense depends on how Kiel performs, too many question marks for me to have any confidence in a big season.

Tough to get excited about this year and purchase those season tickets lol. I'll break down and do it most likely because I love the program and Nippert, but man there aren't any games I'm overly excited about

Talked to one of my uncles this weekend...he and a group of friends all have had season tickets for years and he said this is it. If things aren't better this year, they're all done. He loves UC more than anyone I know and is as positive about everything as you can be. So you know it's bad if he's considering not renewing his tickets. But he's tired of Tuberville.

Wouldn't be surprised if Moore starts and Trail gets some PT. Heard Trail has been a stud which I had no idea he was. If Kiel gets the starter job simply because he's senior that won't be good.

I'm a little more optimistic than most. I think we'll rebound somewhat back to a 9 or 10 win season. The defense has to get better and I'm looking forward to seeing a little more traditional offense that hopefully highlights Mike Boone more than we've done in the past. Running the ball more effectively should keep us from throwing 50 passes a game and should help protect our defense somewhat also.
Mostly, I just love heading to Nippert and enjoying the game day experience. It's always better when they win, but my support doesn't hinge on whether this season meets or exceeds my expectations for wins & loses. Go Cats! |

I'm feeling pretty optimistic as well. Really look forward to seeing what Zac Taylor brings to the offense and the QB's in general.
Still a lot of talent on this roster. |
