At the end of the day most fans find themselves in a place that is arguing is it Coaching or has the system set us up for failure. It is very hard to find a real level of expectation. That is why fans argue all the time. We are a fan base who's team has been to the top of the mountain. Presently the system has made it very difficult to achieve that kind of success. Hence the debate. |

your right. Actually a few years back you had to buy Football tickets to get Basketball seats if I'm not mistaken. They were using the popularity of the Basketball team to generate interest In Football. I always followed TOSU football and still do. I would root for them every Saturday they don't play UC. Have two that graduated from there. My son was a athlete there for 5 years. He is a lot like me he roots for UC but is a Buckeye fan as well.

I started at UC in Huggins first year....back when we didn't have a football program to speak of. Bearcat basketball has always been the top sport on my list since that time...out of ALL sports or teams. |

I never asked to be a mod. It was the other way around and when I agreed to do it, no one told me that my opinion would have become stale and vanilla in order to appease everyone. IF thats the case, I'll gladly give up the title. And I'm not trying to start fights. I read this board every single day. But its a bit discouraging when I scroll through, what I expect to be a pretty happy thread, and still see people talking about the same stuff they always talk about. The Nevada loss changed nothing about I felt about UC basketball. But it did change everything about the way I feel about some fans. I can you tell this.. I was at the game on Saturday, the people who are still unhappy after beating Xavier, clearly werent at the game. Because I've never seen such unity and collective energy around a single game in all the games I've been to. People were chanting and screaming well after the game in front of the Oscar statue. The collective whole of Bearcat fans absolutely loved that win and I can't picture anyone of them, leaving the game, to go home and then whine about Cane vs Jenifer on message boards. I totally get that being a Cincinnati Sports fan has jaded most of our city. The Reds choke against the giants, the Bengals screw ups against Pittsburgh, The UC Meltdown against Nevada, The TOMMY TUBBERVILLE years, The Xavier #1 seed meltdown...... We've collectively have been on the cusp of being great in this city for years and we always f it up. BUT, all that said, I just have a hard time getting into the headspace of over critiqueing a team that no one expected to be good. Its so weird to me what people decide to pick and choose from games. All that said, its fine. I won't mention another combative word. |

out of all the posts here you picked the 1 guy that wasn't happy. as much as you don't like the negative, and you tell people they aren't real fans for being negative, you commenting on just that 1 guy spreads the negativity. you can disagree with people, but you have to tell them they dont spend money like you, they dont go to games like you, they dont do this like you they dont do that like you. and you dont know if any of that is even true. |
