    Louisville to Play at Cincinnati Next Yeaer

    Mack is taking a page from the Bob Huggins playbook, although I don't think this one is a 2 for 1. November 13 at the Shoe.

    I do respect that Mack likes to play people.

    Having said that, I still hope he loses.

    To Brannen more so than to UC. And for some reason, UC never really bothered me. Not sure why. I guess it's because since the time I first arrived at Xavier, we've pretty much dominated them. So I guess I never really went through any sort of a jealousy period.

    Jealousy period?? My hate for UC basketball runs deep, and has nothing to do with "jealousy". I am not jealous of their slimy program, or their junky conference, horse beating players, drunkard coaches, or anything else I have witnessed in the years I have been a Xavier fan.

    Sure, I would prefer we also have a final four banner or 3 in our rafters, but I am not the least bit jealous of Clifton Community College.

    I started hating them when Tony Yates was the UC coach, and the thugs (not gangsters) they used to recruit. Bob Huggins made them enjoyable to hate, as he was a walking punch line most of the time. The Huggins jokes could write themselves. He brought in a different type of animosity, especially with the questionable JuCo's and characters that filled his rosters. Most of my friends growing up were UC fans, so I can tolerate their fan base most of the time...but I can always find things to hate about their fans.

    To know them is to hate them, but there is zero jealousy at the root of this rivalry.

    I'm all for hating UC (or anyone else) for whatever reasons you want to hate them for. Just for me personally, they really don't bother me. From the time I got to Xavier, X has dominated the series and totally outperformed them on a national level. Even when we've lost, it's kind of been like "Oh well. We have more of what we want than what they do, and they've never really taken anything away from us or stopped us from getting anything. So, I don't really care about them. Louisville grinds my nerves a lot more than UC does.

    Probably the only time I ever root for Chris Mack's Cardinals.

    Whatever. I don't care.

    I especially do not want Mack on the schedule. Just don't. I don't get people who do.
