I always enjoy these threads with guys from Cinci who are Ohio State fans, but have this weird love for all things Cincinnati.
You guys can just save a lot of typing and just write either "I'm from Cinci" or "I went to UC".
You clearly have not followed much of what I have said about Cincinnati. I have pointed out that the city's media -- not me -- is more concerned about UC football, followed by Notre Dame football, than Ohio State -- that's not how I feel, it's how it is. In basketball it's even worse with more space given to UC, XU, UK and INDIANA (for Christ's sake) than OSU.
Historically, this town has seen itself as the Capitol city in the Principality of Tri-State, the mythical Kingdom where Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky meet on the banks of the Ohio River. Result: they've been sucking hind tit on state funds in comparison to Columbus, Cleveland and Toodleydoo.
The anti-OSU sentiment grew to extremes during the Earl Bruce era leading the best Cincinnati athletes to Michigan and Notre Dame, all do to some well covered bitching by Earl about Cincinnati athletes.
I'm happy to see UC doing well and I'd love to see the Bucks play in Paul Brown Stadium if for no other reason than to fly the colors and let the folks of Tri-State know to whom they send their tax dollars.
I would also suggest that some of the posts on this thread reflect an unreal view of a world in which the Buckeyes can't be topped by the likes of UC, OU or Miami. That simply does not reflect real probability.
