    Gale Catlett. Damn.

    So, we do not hate them as much anymore, and police horses now live without fear.

    I too have viewed the Shootout for 50 yrs. Without a creep patrolling the sidelines for UC, it just boils down to a game we should win, and we did.

In fact, I actually kind of enjoy watching some of the guys on that team!

    I was afraid that not having a "villain" would tone down the fun, but winning was still as awesome as ever!
    If it's of any consequence, the UC fan base really seems to dislike Travis...only amplified after picking up the tab at Danas. So we have that going for us.

    I've not seen or heard anything like this.......hard to dislike Travis for anything IMHO. He's only 1 year into the job?

    I haven't either. Certainly nothing on any Cincy message board that I have seen.

    You guys are kidding...right? He is well known for paying recruits and being Mack's 'bag man' in UC lore. The only reason we have been out recruiting them for the last 5-10 years is directly related to Steele cheating. They've been quieter after the shootout but there are tons of posts on BCJ about him being a bad coach and dirty recruiter...

    yeah ok........what a few posters say about Steele does not represent what their fan base in general thinks about him. Paying recruits? Now that's funny. Who are they saying we "paid" to come to X?

    Scruggs...Sumner are a couple that have been mentioned. I find it hillarious and Keenland Dan is a big champion of the steele cheats narrative. And yes, I understand that BCJ posters don't represent the entire fanbase. He's not at villain status yet but if we keep kicking asses on the recruiting trail, it won't take long.

    Please give Travis Steele the credit he deserves. Everyone knows his bag man days go back to landing Eric Gordon at IU under Kelvin Sampson.
