UC vs West Virginia at PBS

[Fred Garvin 2.0]

It's November 12. Now I think we run the table but we are gonna need all hands on deck. Who can I count on besides Snipe and Kahn's?

[Fred Garvin 2.0]

GladdenGuy is gonna be there scouting WVA's coach so Michigan can find another loser who can't beat the Bucks.

[gladdenguy]

jim tressel has made the buckeyes irrelevant again just like the 90s when we made OLIEO are bitches......get ready to start it up this year......suckeyes will be lucky to be. 500 this year

[drudy23]

Get this effin crap of a thread out of here!!

Really?

I see where yer coming from. So you think I'm putting the cart before the horse and looking past the game with South Florida. Fair point.

I just hope that this year's players keep their gold pants they'll get for the inevitable victory.

[coasterville95]

I don't have tickets to W Virginia, but I do have tickets to Lousiville. (User ducks). I'll be sitting towards the top of sec 321.

[Cheesehead]

I don't care about UC Football.

UC Sucks!

[xsteve1]

I'm heading down for the Louisville game. The tailgating is a good time even if I could care less who wins. Plus usually there's a few hotties.

[Xavier]

OSU gives out gold pants for beating Michigan? I thought it was for winning the Big 10?

[94GRAD]

I could give a rats a$$ about uc football or any other sport they have!!!

[X-band '01]

OSU gives out gold pants for beating Michigan? I thought it was for winning the Big 10?

The gold pants are just for beating Michigan. How much money the players make off of the pants are anyone's guess.

Right now, I don't see Michigan losing to them this year.

[boozehound]

Right now, I don't see Michigan losing to them this year.

I will say this about OSU this year: They actually looked pretty good against Nebraska with Braxton Miller in the game. After he went out and they were stuck with Bauserman things got ugly. With their defense and an improved Braxton Miller I could definitely see them beating Michigan. Michigan is a pleasant surprise this year but we aren't there yet. The defense still has some significant holes and Denard throws too many picks.

The thing about the OSU-Michigan game this year is that you have no idea what OSU players are going to be eligible to play by that point in the season. At the rate that they keep finding out new information about no-show jobs and improper benefits OSU may have to forfeit because they may not have enough eligible players to field a team.

I remember when before they exposed Tressel for the fraud that he is, everybody talked about Tressel's recruiting being the key to OSU's success, and how he "locked down the state of Ohio". I guess now we know how he did it.

To keep it on topic regarding UC vs. WVU, both schools, and their current and former coaches, suck.

[ballyhoohoo]

Any Xavier fan you uses the word "we" when referring to anything UC deserves a kick in the nuts. There is a clear line in the sand, for Xavier or for sUCks.

Those who root for sUCks football and claim to be X fan deserves a one season ban from Cintas Center.

[Masterofreality]

It's November 12. Now I think we run the table but we are gonna need all hands on deck. Who can I count on besides Snipe and Kahn's?

Last time I checked, SucKS is a mortal rival. That means that any true fan must cheer that their mortal rival fails epically in everthing they do.

Think that Villanova fans cheer for Temple football? Uh no.

Success in anything by your rival raises their profile and helps their cause. The Borecats need to lose....horribly.....at everything.

No props.

[SM#24]

At the rate that they keep finding out new information about no-show jobs and improper benefits OSU may have to forfeit because they may not have enough eligible players to field a team.

At the rate Ohio St is going, they'll probably have to forfeit the game whether it's played or not. Who knows what we'll actually find out this winter about those players that actually get to play.

[Kahns Krazy]

Ahhh, the annual "I'm a bigger Xavier basketball fan than you because I hate UC football" argument.

The nice thing for you clowns that continue to make this argument is that with the birth of the Flea Party Movement, it's only the second stupidest idea on earth now.

[Masterofreality]

Ahhh, the annual "I'm a bigger Xavier basketball fan than you because I hate UC football" argument.


Not "bigger Xavier fan".

Just that those who subject themselves to the sham of Borecats Football, (remember those epic BCS Bowl games?) have significant mental defects and must seek professional help. :D

Oh, and we all see how SucKS football is being courted by the big BCS Conferences to relocate....:rolleyes:

I'd rather watch a good high school game- and there's plenty of that in Cincy.

[coasterville95]

professional help? Maybe we can get together at halftime on Saturday and work through our issues over some ice cold beer.

What's wrong with spending a Saturday afternoon watching live college football while downing some beer? Watch the Big East crumble around you at no extra charge.

Actually, it has nothing to do with being a bigger fan. I just really don't want to see any of their teams do well. I attended and graduated from Xavier. Why would I care about their football program? It makes perfect sense to most of us on this board. I am not advancing any argument. I am reminded by the mantra at Dana's, high above the ceiling, it reads "UC Sucks!" I concur.:logo:

Your implication was that in your eyes, I am not a true fan. If that's not telling me you're a bigger fan than I am, I don't know what is.

My take:

1) Grown men without kids on the team who attend high school football on a regular basis creep me out. It is an event for high schoolers.
2) As a resident of Cincinnati, success of UC's programs, both academic and sporting benefit me. Clifton is a critical part of the ongoing development in Cincinnati. As long as the success doesn't come at the expense of Xavier, I'm all for it. Rooting against all things Clifton would be a bad move for me.
3) Any dig on UC for conference affiliation in football is as much or more applicible to Xavier in basketball. I prefer not to throw stones in my house.
4) There isn't anyone I hate in college sports more than Mick Cronin.

[GoMuskies]

Is it creepy for me to take my four year-old son to high school football games? He says he loves football and wants to go to games, and I am working to cultivate that interest (read: find a good reason to tell the wife that I am being a good dad by sitting on the couch and watching football for hours on Saturdays and Sundays!).

If you can say this.....I guess any grown man who takes their kids to college games on a regular basis creep me out. It is an event for college kids.

Give me a frickin break. Just because you went to a POS high school doesn't mean you have to call people "creepy" who go to high school games.

More people in this city go to high school games then sUCks could ever get at a football game. That is just ridiculous.

[X-band '01]

Single guys who go to Little League games are creepy. Single guys with no connection to a particular high school or community are probably going because they're got money riding on the games. I don't have a problem with parents taking kids to high school games, especially when said kids will probably wind up going to that school down the road.

[coasterville95]

Just a datapoint - the big move to PBS for this week's game - and their stretch goal for attendnace, according to the Enquirer is 40,000, that's just 5k more than Nippert, and what do they get in exchange? A rent check from Mike Brown, and the ESPN cameras showing a 2/3 (if that) full PBS rather than a packed Nippert. In fact, the big difference is this might let more Louisville fans into the building.

College "kids" >18 = Adults
High School kids <18 = Minors

It's not just an arbitrary definition, it's a legal one. If you can genuinely say that you don't see a material difference in both the crowd attending a high school game and the quality of the football played, then you are either not paying attention, or you are lying to yourself to justify your own creepiness.

I go to one high school football game every 5 years during my reunion. Every time I do, I am reminded of the creepy words of David Wooderson:
That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.

By the way, my "POS" high school has 2 rings in the last 6 years and 5 out of the last 7 GCL all sports trophies, what about yours?

I have no idea what high school football is like where you are. I was primarily referring to men attending games without children.

[nuts4xu]

That means that any true fan must cheer that their mortal rival fails epically in everthing they do.



Or what? What happens if I root for UC football? I won't be allowed in the Cintas Center?

That's stupid.

[GoMuskies]

I'm with ya. And people are a little "too" into it here as well. I think that happens in places where there's not much else going on. The game I took the son to was 42-0 early in the third quarter, and our local high school's best showing came from its kickass marching band playing Bon Jovi at halftime. But Johnny enjoyed the popcorn.

[bleedXblue]

I generally dislike anything that has to do with UC.

Primarliy b/c I've grown tired of their fans force feeding all the BE bullshit for so many years.

Will I go to an occasional football game ? Yes, on a free ticket if I have absolutely nothing else to do and hope like hell they lose 86-0.

I know I should be a little more mature about the whole situation, but I just can't get myself to root for anything red and black.

[waggy]

Isn't buying a ticket to a UC football game supporting the big zombie? At least indirectly?

[Fred Garvin 2.0]

Clifton sucks. I hate The Barrett Center. I hate Shriners. I hate that hospital that helps children. And then there is that one for veterans.

Also, I hate Macovers and being 5 minutes away from Div.1 football. I hate The Esquire, much rather watch John Travolta's latest blockbuster at the Mason mutliplex.

I'm only gonna support Xavier. Then i'm gonna move to the exurbs and campaign for Rich Perry.

[Fred Garvin 2.0]

Also, Isiah Pead is a genius for choosing UC over OSU. The Eastmoor Academy grad couldn't be bought and is representative of the young men in the Bearcat football program.

[Fred Garvin 2.0]

Circle your calendar for Jan.1 when Bengals host the Ravens. Kahn's is making a sign welcoming back Bearcat great and current Raven Haruki Nakumura.

[ThrowDownDBrown]

Pead never had a scholarship offer from OSU, he never had the choice of going there unless he wanted to walk on.

[Fred Garvin 2.0]

Don't be bitter. It's not my fault everyone is defecting from OSU. Not to worry, the next coach played some DB for the Cats. Coached a little at Florida too. I guess it's gonna take a UC alum and some Catitude to bring glory back to OSU.

[Masterofreality]

And also former St. Edward Eagle great!!!

[Masterofreality]

That would now be Herman Cain.

Don't be racist now, Freddy. :p

[coasterville95]

Well, for those who were curious who would draw more to Paul Brown Stadium: Bengals or Bearcats, the Bearcats drew 40,971 today, which ESPN said was just 179 shy of what the Bengals drew last week.

The Bengals are at about 42,600 average, but Bearcats do have the West Virginia game.

[Fred Garvin 2.0]

Another BCS coming when we down the Mountaineers! Woo hoo! I told ya Pead was the man. Defense been stout last two weeks. Bring on South Florida. We should get together to watch it. It's at noon so won't have to miss Musketeer Madness.

Bengals had 52,068 today and the next home game may sell out with Pittsburgh coming to town

Damn, that tough louisville team who lost to Florida International actually should have beat sUCks this weekend. sUCks will be lucky to win even the terrible Big Least.

[RealDeal]

It probably will sell out, with 30,000 pitsburgh fans in attendance.

[Fred Garvin 2.0]

Some friends and I will be at the Original Montgomery Inn Wed. for the Butch Jones Show. Ribs, onion straws and Bearcat football. 8 sharp. See ya there.

Also, let's get together at the Rookwood Bdubs for the Sat. noon start vs USF.

[GoMuskies]

I don't expect UC to win the Big East this year. I wouldn't expect Michigan to win the Big East if they were in it, either.

[Fred Garvin 2.0]

Skip Holtz is gonna get a beatdown. I hope his phony daddy gets to witness the shellacking.
I bet Butch picks up some of the Miami/Overton recruits with this signature win.

[Fred Garvin 2.0]

I'm worried about a letdown at Rutgers after the West Virginia win.

[Fred Garvin 2.0]

So it is BW3 at noon in Rookwood, right? Xeus is buying and you don't want to disappoint a badass like Xeus. I mean the guy had his rehearsal dinner at Club Ritz.

[coasterville95]

Sorry, can't make it to BW3, but that reminds me that the buffalo chicken tenders I had at PBS last Saturday, may be the best thing to eat outside of the clubs.

[Fred Garvin 2.0]

I'm predicting our stout defense forces B.J. Daniels into 3 turnovers. Can't believe we are 3 point dogs when all they've done is beat Notre Dame.

[Fred Garvin 2.0]

Fred, did you see Syracuse crush West Virgina?

[Fred Garvin 2.0]

Sure did. At this point you'd have to say we are the class of The Beast. BCS here we come. What a feather in this city's cap.

[Fred Garvin 2.0]

West Virginia should hire Kerry Combs cuz they got no D.
A Colerain man, not one of those GCL namby pambys.

[Fred Garvin 2.0]

Flagship!

[gladdenguy]

the fact that the big east gets a bcs bid is just ridiculous....i dont care if in one game they play better than the acc......top to bottom that league is pathetic.......wow its bad

[Xavier]

Sure did. At this point you'd have to say we are the class of The Beast. BCS here we come. What a feather in this city's cap.

Don't you find it sad that the class of the Big East got murdered by a team thats 0-3 in the SEC?

[boozehound]

the fact that the big east gets a bcs bid is just ridiculous....i dont care if in one game they play better than the acc......top to bottom that league is pathetic.......wow its bad

If they are both going to continue to have auto-bids then the Big East should play the ACC every year in their bowl game. That way you don't ruin 2 bowl games, just one.

I don't think that their is anything wrong with the Big East, or with being a Big East football fan, but they have not proven themselves to be competitive on a BCS Bowl Game level, IMHO.

[gladdenguy]

Don't tell that to GO.


Tennessee crushed sUCks and Tennessee is weak. South Florida hopefully pounces sUCks today.

[Masterofreality]

Sure did. At this point you'd have to say we are the class of The Beast. BCS here we come. What a feather in this city's cap.

A feather in the cap until the Borecats get boatraced by 48 by a legit BCS team in January- then it is merely #embarrassing

Being the "class of the Beast" is tantamount to being the US Putt Putt Champion then playing in the US Open at Oakmont.

[Fred Garvin 2.0]

UC vs Clemson should be good. I think some of you are consumed with Envy. Don't be a hater.

[Fred Garvin 2.0]

Don't you find it sad that the class of the Big East got murdered by a team thats 0-3 in the SEC?

The SEC is the toughest conference so your comparison is unfair and idiotic as usual. That said, I say we'd murder U.K.

Xavier, how is that latent homosexuality working out for you?

[Strange Brew]

UC vs Clemson should be good. I think some of you are consumed with Envy. Don't be a hater.

It is disgusting to see an X grad voraciously defend UC.

[GoMuskies]

I've got USF -3 today, so I still need some help from the Bulls. USF generally stinks away from home (except in South Bend, I suppose), but they're usually very tough at home.

So we embarassed the A-10 when we got thumped by UCLA?

[GoMuskies]

So we embarassed the A-10 when we got thumped by UCLA?

More like when we got thumped by Miami.

[Strange Brew]

So we embarassed the A-10 when we got thumped by UCLA?

No Cronin, you are the only thing embarrassing Xavier in this thread.

Are you tellin me UC wouldn't win the A-10........in football

Sad, maybe a lifetime ban from Dana's is in order. :D

[GoMuskies]

Damn, thought I'd pulled a cover out of the fire there. Oh, well.

[Fred Garvin 2.0]

What a huge reception by Thompkins breaking off his route.
George Winn is a force. The next Jamal Lewis. Bring on Pitt.

[Fred Garvin 2.0]

Rep me if you got Gratitude for Catitude.
