Wow I can't stop laughing at these insane UC fans! No way do I want to bash their team, but they're being a little too dilusional, yes they're having a nice season, I'll give them that, but do it consistently and you might be able to talk trash. Playing handicapped schools in the Big East doesn't make u relevant, its a cute story! But all of this is probably a moot point that all of us are getting angry over them because when/if Pitt beats them in 2wks, they'll be ranked in the 20's and go to the Toilet Bowl or Duff Beer Bowl and Brian Kelly will leave for {insert real CFB powerhouse here} and they'll be back to mediocre and barely getting 3,000-5,000 people in their HS stadium. I rather bash a real rival team like scUM, not the little red headed brother that's had a nice seaon.

Not to rag on Cincy - far too much of that going on IMO, but this is not unique to Cincy football. The old riverfront stadium during reds games was almost on par with Yankee Stadium when it came to obnoxious drunk "fans."

University of Cincinnati will finance practice fields | cincinnati.com | Cincinnati.Com
Further proof that Cincy is following the Rutgers model of reckless, irresponsible spending in pursuit of football dreams.
For those who don't know, UC is on extremely shaky financial ground. Even before the economic collapse, they were massively over leveraged from a campus building spree over the last decade. Their bond rating has been cut, and they have the highest debt ratio and lowest cash reserves of any public university in Ohio. AND, despite their recent football success and a BCS bowl game, their football team lost almost 2 million dollars last year while the athletic department overall lost over 4 million.
Despite this, they are going out and BORROWING 10 million dollars for a football practice facility to keep a football coach that no one outside of Cincy believes will be there in two years (two months?).
It's pretty clear that Nancy was the one voice of reason at that university, and with her gone, the cretins are in charge. When this all comes crashing down and the state has to pick up the pieces, I would hope that Fingerhut holds those responsible to account for their shameless and reckless management of a state asset.

Interestingly, no one bothers to ask the Ohio State players about the "best in state" debate. Quite frankly because they know they won't care. Serious inferiority complex down there.
I'm done raggin on UC. Gives them and their program too much credibility.
EDIT: Its also real easy to talk shit, Mardy, when you don't have to worry about playing. Hell, the guys up in Akron could say they can beat Ohio State and it would be worth as much.

I have a hard time going after this kid--or any other athlete busted for underage drinking--since I think the 21 yo drinking age is an abomination and horrible public policy. I do understand the argument that, as a high profile scholarship athlete, he is simply unable to do things that many normal college students can.
That being said, reading the UC board threads about harassing this reporter in public really shows what a bunch of idiots this fanbase is. Hey, you're ranked #5 in the country and your starting quarterback got busted for a fake id and ignoring a court order. It's going to be reported by the newspaper because it IS news. Welcome to the big time. The Enquirer is a newspaper--not a p.r. outlet for the football team.
Having read these boards for a month now, I really am beginning to understand the hilliblly mentality that led them to demonize, harass and ultimately run Zimpher out of town for firing a corrupt, drunken scumbag like Huggins. Zimpher did more to pull that university up out of the gutter than a thousand Brian Kellys, but it means nothing to these mouthbreathers. Enjoy your football success, losers.

What now? Are they really that delusional?
Edit: Scratch that, I see the thread where they talk about it more. They're number one in the top ten for grad rates among student athletes in football and basketball, which is only because the pros don't want their players before they're done.

There's apparently a list of football team grad rates for the BCS top 10. Cincy is tops at 75%. UC fan has somehow confused that to mean #1 in academics among BCS schools. I don't think they're delusional; just too stupid to understand the difference.

I agree with you about the legal drinking age, but using a counterfeit ID and ignoring a court order are another matter entirely. The kid needs to grown the hell up like the judge said.

SoCal, Baby!
What's sad about this whole situation is that UC has a true high-major legacy to build upon in men's hoop. Bearcat basketball has been excellent in many historical periods, and may be rising again under Mick Cronin (though the jury is still out on that one). Yet instead of building up that basketball program as the cash cow, which many other schools (Duke, UNC, Kentucky, UConn) have done successfully, UC is wasting taxpayer dollars by embarking on a silly campaign, attempting to depreciate tOSU while spending recklessly on football based on a flash-in-the-pan outlier season.
Very disappointing.
