Xavier article

I wrote another article for Cincy on the prowl, here is the link if any of you are interested:http://cincyontheprowl.com/2013/12/3...emy-territory/

Nice article JJ!

I'd also like to add that I hate Xavier. I find a large portion of their fan base to be a bunch of condescending, self-righteous, pompous d-bags. The cintas center has all the comfort and security of a prison riot. I chuckle when it's pronounced eggsavier. I root for everyone they play against. If Dante could re-write the Inferno, he would probably add a 10th circle of hell reserved for Xavier fans.

I don't hate Xavier, I actually don't really care about them either way. I only think about Xavier for about a week before the game, and maybe the day after. Something in the rivalry was lost when Xavier became a good program and Huggins left. Now, the only reason why I want to keep them on the schedule is because I know they are one good program that is willing to play UC in the OOC and help the SOS.

Some of your obsessions (including writing an article about them) is just pathetic, IMO.

It was a humorous article, I enjoy trading jabs with Xavier fans. Nothing mean-spirited, I live in Norwood so I'm used to hearing from Xavier fans. It's a rivalry game, there is
nothing wrong with having some fun and trash-talking. We are both in the same city, we go after the same recruits, we both have tradition, why not make fun of our arch-rivals? Lighten up, I guess Santa forgot to give you a sense of humor for Christmas.

Keep up the good work, JJ5. It's a blog article. You can say whatever you so desire. It doesn't have to have substance or provoke deep thinking. You're OK in my book. I grew up not far from X, too. Passed by the campus all the time. It was/is a great rivalry. The game is always hotly contested (except maybe this year) no matter which team is ranked ahead of the other. The game used to be played at Cincinnati Gardens way back when. I remember one year one of their players, Joe Pangrazio, grabbed a crutch from some front row fan, and threw it at Raleigh Wynn (one of our guards). we won in OT. Think it was in 1967. Keep writing.
Go Cats!

You and I have a VERY different idea of what humor is. Maybe next time you'll write a good one. Keep trying!

I usually try to write more factual stuff, but I
thought people might enjoy a change-up. I enjoy this site because there are so many different opinions and for the most part, we can all respectfully disagree.
