The Reds have let us down but they're trying and they're in a sport that makes it tough for a small market team to compete year in and year out. The Bengals are a joke, I no longer pay for tickets or attend games. I got out 6 years ago and won't go back until Mike Brown is gone. UC hoops was a big winner in the 90's and early 00's and the people supported the program. The fan base was great and the shoe rocked every night. UC Football is still on it's way up and the fan base has responded in huge numbers. Give the people in this town what they crave and they'll get behind their teams. Call it fair weather, call it whatever you want but most people aren't like us. They don't get that into all sports or certain sports unless the team they like gives them a reason to. I love the Bearcats and I want to see them do as good as possible and it is possible for this basketball program to do better. Last edited by UCBearcats; 07-31-2013 at 03:23 PM. |

It's possible for the basketball program to do better; my problem though, is this standard of better was not achieved by Huggins after the mid 90s. He flaked in the tourny damn near every year. What difference does it make, to get a high seed and be 1 and done? He flat out stunk up the place in the tournament and on top of that, he did it with way more talented teams than Mick had. By that measure, I actually think Mick deserves more support. I also think the 2011-2012 team was the best we've had in the past 12 years. So, when people tell me we need to up our game, I just have to ask, why weren't they bitching from 01-05? ... Huggins achieved success and had his final four + Elite eight appearances early on. After that though, what did he do? |

But again, doesn't that deserve harsher criticism rather than lesser? Doesn't that mean he drastically under achieved? If the whole point is to simply go to the NCAA and lose, aren't we perfectly capable of that with the players we have currently? If it's about performance, you can't support Huggins' end years and knock Mick. It's logically incoherent. At that point, it's just whining for the sake of whining.
