Cincy's ceiling is about where Pitt is right now. They will probably flirt with 7 or 8 wins, lose some games they shouldn't and win a game or two every year they shouldn't.

In other words, they will peak at about where Minnesota peaked under glen Mason.

er, the Bearcats already surpassed the Pitt metric last year, and Glen Mason had ONE 10-win season in how many years at Minny? bad analogy. Cincinnati, due to talent base if nothing else, has the ability to field a better than average team year in and year out.

i don't get the vitriol in this thread. they're in freaking OHIO. i always root for Ohio teams.

The vitriol is due to all of the sports journalists and Cincy players and fans showing disrespect to Ohio State. It is irritating to hear all of the commentary about how Ohio State needs to play these guys every year and the like. Of course, ESPiN would love to have us inflate the importance of Cincy and the Big East by playing them yearly.

What's in it for Ohio State? A game in a 35,000 capacity stadium and how much lost revenue? Less national prominence by scheduling an Ohio team every year, who will not be at the level they are this year, instead of playing around the country and building our image with recruits in those states?

It's getting to the point that I would like to see Ohio State get a game with Cincy this year. Then, we'd see who's really whose Daddy.

I honestly wouldn't have an issue with it if it replaced the yearly MAC team/YSU game. Line them up each September. They may make the game interesting as long as Kelly is there. Hell, even the 2002 game was competitive. But, more often than not, it would probably be the same as playing a solid MAC team once Kelly leaves.

That's embarrassing for a program like Oklahoma to be playing an away game at a stadium that seats 35k. I'd be fucking irate if I were a Sooner fan.

1- Oklahoma agreed to the game.
2- Wisconsin played at Nippert a few years ago...and got beat.
2- The Oklahoma game is being played at Paul Brown Stadium.

UC does have future games down the road at Nippert with Miami-FL and Va Tech, though.

As has been said many, many times before, OSU fans do not like that UC players, administration, and fans have taken shots at OSU in an attempt to show that UC "has arrived." It's a bush league move that's typically used by programs who are trying to show that they belong on the big stage. But for those antics, I'd probably be rooting for UC. Now, not so much.

That Oklahoma game wasn't anwhere near the ass beating that the final score suggests it was. Despite the obvious athletic difference of the two teams, Grutza and Gilyard were killing OU's defense, and the game really turned on an ill-advised 4th down attempt on UC's side of the field. The ensuing drive gave OU a two score lead, and then UC's game of musical QBs started when Grutza got hurt late in the second half.

As much as the little brother syndrome from UC fans cracks me up. UC showed me more in that loss to OU, and the rest of the season's QB merry-go-round, than any of the other one-hit wonders that are being listed as proof of UC's eventual fade.

I'm still not impressed, at least not to the extent that Cincy seems to be impressed with themselves. They're a decent-good team. I've said that before. They outclassed a poorly-coached, poorly-disciplined, but more talented South Florida team. I said that would happen.

Hell, with that schedule, I think they'll go undefeated. But if they are in the national title game based purely on a schedule where their best win may end up being a road win at South f'n Florida, then we need to blow this BCS thing up.

I live in the Buckeye State and it happens to be called Ohio. That mentality is based upon a camraderie of Ohio State brotherhood. When I'm up in Cleveland, Akron, Canton, I'm in the Buckeye State. When I go down to Dayton or Cincy, I feel like I'm in an entirely different state just based on a palpable lack of camraderie.

And then, to top it off, their players and fans want to take shots at the Buckeye State. F That and F Them.

While I thought they Bearcats looked like a pretty solid team, and was especially impressed with their backup QB, I tend to agree with the above sentiment.

I mean, people are validating UCs and BSUs lofty rankings with 'signature' weekday wins vs. Tulsa and South Florida? Seriously?

Seriously? I've lived in those two places my entire, life, save the four years I spent in Columbus. I don't agree 100% with what you're saying about Cincinnati, but I understand where you're coming from. I have no idea where the Dayton part comes from. That sounds absurd.

My experience is that for as provincial as people can be down here, some people from other parts of the state do just as much on their part to divest our state of the people that make this area their home.

I've barely been to NE Ohio in my life - just a couple times passing thru. Maybe if I spent more time there I'd experience an enlightenment toward the quintessential Ohio-ness that exists there and realize just how un-Ohio myself, my family and friends have been our whole lives. :roll2:

In case some of you are forgetting, the Cincinnati area and UC are part of Ohio. So are UD, Xavier, Bowling Green, Toledo, Cleveland State, Akron, Kent State, OU, etc. - along with Ohio State. The attitude that Ohio State = Ohioan and everything else that's a part of our state is unOhioan is just wrong, and quite frankly it makes all of us Ohio State fans look like assholes regardless of where we're from.
