Crosstown Shootout at US Bank!

ralph1950 · 05-22-2012, 08:08 AM

Once again UC fans get the short end of the stick because of the bad behavior of XU fans and players.

UC should cancel the game rather than throwing bones to XU.

Maybe if enough season tickets holders complain UC will decide to cancel.

I will be emailing Whit to express my feelings.

X is just terrible.

Beat their crappy team by 30 this year and end the series with those losers

This was UC's decision 100 percent.

I think the traditions could be a blast amoung my group of friends.

I think this has the potential to be a good thing. The chance to tailgate and have a split crowd could be a lot of fun as long as fans aren't too over the top. I know this isn't an apples to apples comparison but the SEC football championship is always on a neutral site with highly enthusiastic fan bases together with relatively little problems (at least I can't think of any at the moment). We should be able to pull this off.

Are concession revenues split among the schools in this scenario?

I honestly want to keep the rivalry as long as it can be safe for both teams. If something happens this year then it should be cancelled. Mick will make sure nothing happens from the UC side. I just hope Mack can handle his players. This rivalry has meant a lot for the city barring last year.

The only way that I would stop it is if we could get an annual series with IU, Kentucky or OSU.

College basketball should be played on campus, period.

Neutral site games are becoming more and more popular.

You know I think we need to be careful not to cast too many stones, yes fans at X have done some bad things, but to think no UC fans have done similar is turning a blind eye. College kids are college kids and they do stupid things at times. Also to say UC gives in by not taking their home game this year is crap, someone had to give at some point so UC took the lead good for them.

I for one have been to the game at both arenas the past 10 years or so and never had any issues with the crowd. Now I did have Dez wells yell at me during play this past year but that's another story.

Hopefully this will be good for both schools, this game needs to be played. There may be a debate as to whether or not it needs a cooling off period after last year, but it needs to be played, it is one of the best local rivalries in the country period. I'm glad they have found a way to make it happen, I just pray there is no bad behavior on either side of the court next year on or off the court.

I forgot all about this claim. I remember at one point UC fans claimed Frease actually hit the AD's wife, and said that UC was already pressing charges. In fact, I made a bet with someone here that it would never happen, don't know who I made it with. Can't believe people actually believed that story.

2 things, it wasn't the AD's wife, it was Coach Davis's wife, and he didn't hit her, he smacked her cell phone out of her hand. It did happen, that is a fact, but hardly a reason to press any charges.
