UC or OSU?

[Pablo's Brother]

Alright, this is a tough one. Pick your favorite:

[Tardy Turtle]

I think the poll is missing "Hydrogen-filled dirigible crash."

[XUglow]

My favorite team is whoever is playing UC.

[BBC 08]

Meteor! Meteor! Meteor!

[Snipe]

The Ohio State University.

My kids keep asking what happens if we play UC in the Championship.

If we both win, both teams will be two games away. Absurd as it is, it captures the mind.

This city would never be the same. And they said they wanted to ban the Shootout. What if it was for the National Championship?

[Michigan Muskie]

I'm pulling for an XU vs. UC rematch so we can zip 'em up again.

[xudash]

The online edition of the Enquirer has a PD article about Cincinnati - it's own thing inside the beltway versus considering itself a part of Ohio. That old schtick. It's about tOSU not wanting to play anyone in Ohio in hoops. It goes into mostly UC versus Ohio State stuff given their game tonight.

The comment section below it is entertaining and predictable, to say the least.

[MCXU]

I'm rooting for the newly found uc fans to be disappointed. Go OSU.

How small time does Cincinnati look that in a huge week that has them in the sweet 16 and with a shot to advance farther in the tournament, that the only thing they can focus on is that Ohio State does not want to play them in the regular season. At least Thad get's it. As he said, Ohio State is just happy to be in the sweet 16 with a chance to advance. Why can't UC and the Cincinnati media understand that? Why do they always seem to have little man's syndrome and take shots at everyone else to validate themselves?

[XULucho27]

As a Michigan fan I can't really root for OSU. So in that spirit, I'm not rooting for OSU, I'm rooting for the B1G! Go B1G!

[DC Muskie]

To paraphrase Charles Barkley...

PDoc is turrible.

[gladdenguy]

Come on Buckeyes....this is one of the only days I will cheer on the Buckeyes.

[xubrew]

I'm rooting against Ohio State. That's not the same as rooting for UC.

Think about it, though. What annoys me the most is the fans. Ohio State has fans all year long. UC only has them when they're good late in the year. It's clearly the lesser of two evils.

I saw that. I wonder how many times Doc has now written that column? Ten? Fifteen?

The answer has to be Ohio State. They aren't coached by St. Mick.

[Juice]

OSU because I actually root for them because of Thad and because I hate UC. It's a double win for tonight if the Buckeyes can do what they're supposed to do.

[drudy23]

For some reason, my gut is telling me to go with UC in this one....almost like an out of body experience.

[LadyMuskie]

I don't just want Ohio State to win, I want them to crush/destroy/annihilate any dreams that any uc fans might have. I dislike Thad Matta. I hate uc.

[smileyy]

My bracket has OSU in a position they should find very familiar: losing in the finals.

Amen...plus... if UC wins tonite and we don't win Friday night, I don't want to awaken Saturday knowing they're still in and we're out. My bowels couldn't handle it. But an XU-OSU final, by God: OSU beats UC but loses to little X for the NC. Holy crap that would be perfect.:eek:

[boozehound]

Come on Buckeyes....this is one of the only days I will cheer on the Buckeyes.

+1. Even being a Michigan fan on top of a Xavier fan isn't enough to make me root for UC over OSU.

Meteor or Nuclear Bomb wouldn't be too bad though.

[Kahns Krazy]

I feel like I've said somewhere before that I hate Mick Cronin and UC. If the matchup tonight was UC/Herpes, I'd root for Herpes.

[Masterofreality]

Go Luckeyes....

Never, evvvvvvvver cheer for your hated rival....not in any sport.....

Got that Sniper?

[xeus]

Go Bucks.

And please no meteor - my wife will be at the game.

[LadyMuskie]

If the matchup tonight was UC/Herpes, I'd root for Herpes.


Let's be honest, uc has already fought and subsequently lost that battle.

[BandAid]

With Syracuse beating Wisconsin and michigan st down by a considerable amount to Louisville the big east circle jerk is about ready to go into hi gear. For that reason alone I wil be cheering for OSU.

Death to the big east.

[SkyWalker]

I understand this perfectly and I am in the same boat. It's easy to root against Ohio State and their fans.

Ditto.

[waggy]

Borecats with an early 7-6 lead. Beautiful floater by someone from OSU.

[waggy]

HaHaHa! OSU tells Mick that they don't need them for in their OOC schedule on a nationally televised S16 game. Pathetic grovelers.

[Xavier24561]

THey had to show the fight again and talked about how Mich handled it.. Made me throw up in my mouth...

THink UC pulling off hte upset tonight would give X a bit more pep in their step to beat Baylor...

Well they do have an adowable 10 year old coach!

[Jesuit4Life]

UC and OSU playing in Boston?
Too easy.


And please no meteor - my wife will be at the game.
My condolences.

[Juice]

Go Bucks.

And please no meteor - my wife will be at the game.

Take one for the team bro.

[xavierj]

Mick taking Thad to the wood shed in the 2nd half.

[xavierj]

Wow uc might go to the final four.

[Kahns Krazy]

Mick taking Thad to the wood shed in the 2nd half.

Yeah, WTF. C'mon Thad.

[Juice]

You would think OSU has a run left in them.

[xsteve1]

Uc is crushing OSU this half. If they win this they'll probably be in the final 4.

[xavierj]

I hope UC loses by less than 7.5.

That's a lock.

[Kahns Krazy]

I hope UC loses by less than 7.5.

I am not rooting against your bet, but I hope they somehow lose by 4,416.

[GoMuskies]

I don't care if Matta's foot is paralyzed, it makes me want him to DIAF when he complains about not getting an intentional foul call.

He's Crafty.

If Sibert can't time ahead of this Scott clown, I don't think anybody wants him.

[waggy]

Almost time for Nancy to get a job.

[Pete Delkus]

Aaron CrAft, with only offers from BG, Miami, dump, and UT, is one of the best recruiting decisions Thad has ever made...He's just so solid at every aspect.

On the flip side, one of the worst recruiting decisions Bruce Pearl has ever made

HaHaHa! OSU tells Mick that they don't need them for in their OOC schedule on a nationally televised S16 game. Pathetic grovelers.

Did you notice that Mick said "local rivalries are important"? I almost soiled my trousers.

Then Verne, who I usually like, says Gates reached out to Frease. Which is of course a lie. Gates specifically said he had no intention of apologizing to Frease or contacting him, because Gates is obsessed with Frease and hates him. It was King Kenny who displayed sagacity and royal grace by contacting "Yates" and burying the hatchet.

Nice Paul Keels shoutout though. I like Verne and Raf a lot. Especially when Raf is clearly itching to get a pop or ten in at the end of a blowout and the losing coach is fouling.

[American X]

Tip of the hat to UC on a solid season. Sometimes you have to look at pure evil perpetuating despair, disease, and depravity and just say 'well done'.

Glad I have Ohio State as my champion. They looked the part tonight.

Oh, and Yancy Gates is a psychopath.

[waggy]

Verne only repeats what he's told. That bs comes from on conference high.

[Masterofreality]

Ohhhhhhhhhh...........Ohhhhhhhhhhhh............Ohh hhhhhhhhhh..".bump, bump, bump, bump............,


u SucK!!!!!!!!!!

[pimpinthebox]

God, I hate that program and that scary little weasel Mick Cronin. The drive down to Atlanta tomorrow morning just got a lot more enjoyable. Still number one in the city. Go X!

[coasterville95]

Last night: I watched the first half. OSU was hammering UC.

At halftime I switched over to the Florida game. After watching for some time I noticed on the score bar at the top of the screen the second half had started, but the Florida game was more compelling and I waited for the media time out.

By the time the media time out came, and I switched back to uc/OSU the lead was cut to 3. Stayed tuned to uc for the rest of the game and they slid back down the cliff.

[RealDeal]

What was worse, the camera angles or uc's hideous uniforms? Headache city.

[coasterville95]

I dunno, after seeing Baylor's unis, those UC uniforms look downright reasonable.

The helicopter cam thingee has to DIE. Or as I saw it called on Twitter the "If I Had Crappy Seats And Was Drunk" Cam. Or the "If I wanted to watch a game hanging upside down from the center scoreboard Cam"

[BandAid]

So.. Next big question - OSU or Syracuse?

I know who I'm pulling for

[PMI]

If Sibert can't time ahead of this Scott clown, I don't think anybody wants him.

I've actually heard dayton is interested in Sibert. No joke.

[Masterofreality]

Paul Keels went to Xavier? Did not know.

Yep, he did.

He's talked about how tough it was calling the UC/XU game when Lenny Brown hit the shot. He was the SucKS radio guy but a Xavier grad. Outside he had to take the Borecat's side but inwardly he was all giggity.

[paulxu]

Thanks for reminding me!
