Catitude

[Fred Garvin]

Woo hoo! We control our destiny, baby. What resiliency. I'll admit I thought taking the safety was a little too cute. But hey, WV executed. They scored, hit the 2, got the onside kick and nailed a 52 yarder.

Kerry Coombs has developed a sick D. He provides an intensity you wouldn't get if you hired a coach from Elder or St. X.

Bummer: gonna have to skip the Xu opener in order to watch my Cats head to Louisville next Friday. The 'Ville has been our bugaboo.

I can't wait.

[sylvester]

Go away. Louisville sucks. UC sucks. Big East blows. It's the start of basketball season finally and I do not want to hear anymore about the UC football team. That is all.

[Fred Garvin]

Sly, this is the off topic board. Moron.

And who told you people that Gilyard was the next Peter Warrick? Ah, that would be moi.
Did you see him return that opening kick for 6?

[wkrq59]

It isn't all until we say it all, we fed up Bengal few!:D

[Fred Garvin]

Reds blow. Bengals blow. UC hoops blows. All we have is XU hoops and now Bearcats football. And in no way does it come at the expense of XU. How can you begrudge me that?

The fates have been niggardly when it comes to our local teams. I'll take success where I can get it.

[BENWAR]

That was a huge win for Cincinnati football. I really enjoyed watching the West Virginia fans rush back into the stadium only to see them lose!!

It looks like the game against Pitt in a couple of weeks will decide the Big East title.

Go back to Clifton loser.

What contradiction? My seat is already paid for. I'd give it away but I really don't think a rational person would watch a "buy game" vs watching Big East football.

Well, consider me and about 95% of this board irrational. Big East football is not nearly as illustrious as you try to make it sound.

[PM Thor]

Woo hoo! We control our destiny, baby.

I can't wait.

I'm the dolt?

You are the one openly rooting for UC doofus. This is pretty easy here. You come onto an X board and hype UC. Yes, check again. You are rooting for UC on a Xavier board.

You started a thread about UC football on a Xavier board. I weep for you, and hope you realize your sad ways.

I know you know better. Wake up young man. Wake up.

I HATE dayton.

[BBC 08]

I too would chose X basketball over pathetic UL football. This coming from a guy who is from Louisville.

[Fred Garvin]

Except I was opting for UC, not Louisville. But I'll take the bait. Didn't UL win a BCS game not long ago? What else does Louisville have? You can't go to Six Flags in December. Do they still have Andy "My Cousin Vinny Vertrees" and the Lousivlle Speedway?

I guess Louisville did give the world that criminal draft dodger who libs in the press portrayed as some icon. When in truth he was just frightened of the Nation of Islam.

Everybody knows Churchill is a dump and Keeneland is the place to be.

Hunter Thompson, I'll give Louisville that.

[PM Thor]

Except I was opting for UC, not Louisville.

That makes it worse. You openly admit skipping a game, ANY game for Xavier basketball, and then refer to UC football as "we"....

Pathetic. I hope you put your kids up for adoption because I wouldn't want them raised in a world of such two facededness.

I HATE dayton.

[GuyFawkes38]

Wait, so is Fred Garvin not joking. He really likes UC football.

[PM Thor]

Yeah, he does. No joke. He takes pride in skipping X games for UC football games. He admitted it.

I HATE dayton.

[sylvester]

Sly, this is the off topic board. Moron.

I am aware as to where this topic is being discussed. My beer and I figured that regardless of what board you choose to discuss UC football, it sucks. You suck. UC sucks. I win.

[Fred Garvin]

Yeah, he does. No joke. He takes pride in skipping X games for UC football games. He admitted it.

I HATE dayton.

Is your problem that I am gonna skip the game or that I'm gonna skip for UC?

[PM Thor]

Is your problem that I am gonna skip the game or that I'm gonna skip for UC?

What's the difference? You started a thread hyping UC, and freely admit skipping the X game for a UC game, then refer to UC as "we".

You are a sellout and I have no respect for someone who openly disregards X games for things like UC football games. You need to learn about perspective. X first, most, and always.

I HATE dayton.

[GuyFawkes38]

Let me defend Fred Garvin for a moment here.

UC does have a great college football program. Notre Dame, Ohio State, Michigan, etc.. are all on the decline. And schools like UC, Ohio university, Wright State, and Illinois State will take their spaces.

And lets admit it right now. Big East football is awesome. West Virginia has an incredible football program. Syracuse should eliminate their basketball program because the football team is so superior. And Louisville is simply awesome.

And I love to tailgate at UC. Not only do I anticipate the thrill of victory, but also the thrill of not getting mugged.

[Fred Garvin]

So you think you're the biggger fan. Tell me, what about Snipe and Kahn's Krazy? I remember years ago X had a crucial game against Temple. Those two skipped the first half to watch Wake vs UC at the Shoe after getting tix from Skip. Why don't you tell them about "perspective." In hindsight I'm sure they feel pretty good about their decisions. You know, perspective and all.

I could care less. They aren't starting threads manloving UC like you are.

Fred Garvin loves UC.

I HATE dayton.

[Fred Garvin]

All three of us have been loyal to UC football over the years.

I think I just realized the stupidity of Thor and his I Hate Everything UC ilk. It's that Thor isn't from Cincy. Well I grew up in Cincy and didn't hate them til Huggins. As a kid I'd go down to the Coliseum with my dad and watch Jelly Jones, Puffy Kennedy, Junior Johnson and Pat Cummings.

My point is that UC is a big school and part of this area's fabric no matter what. Thor,you do realize that there are XU adults who have wives and other family from UC, Dayton, etc.?

[GuyFawkes38]

In all honesty Fred, I don't mind seeing UC win in football.

Yet, I have to say that there's something unauthentic about UC football. Maybe it's being in the Big East (which is god awful in football).

I think what I'm trying to say is that you can maximize your love for college football much more by attaching yourself to Ohio State.

[PM Thor]

Oh poor Fred. Labelling people.

I was born and bred and have lived in Cincy for 30 out of my 36 years. I am a product of CPS. My father was a principal, my mother a teacher for Cincy and both graduated from UC. All five of my brothers went through Cincy schools. I work for Cincinnati.

I am Cincinnati.

I don't hate UC. I just don't go out of my way, like you, to root for UC. I could care less, and it irks me when people like you would usurp X for UC in any form.

Deny it all you want, you would rather go to a UC football game over going to a Xavier basketball game. You admitted it. You freely enjoy saying that UC is part of who you are.

Well, I guess we are different then, because I am about Xavier in every facet, and I won't let another college undercut that in any way, wheras you obviously would.

Again, you are a sellout, and I stand by that. Fred is a UC manlover.

I HATE dayton.

[GoMuskies]

Big East vs. Big Ten has pretty much been a toss up in recent years (not this year; the Big East blows).

[GoMuskies]

The Big Ten blows this year too, of course. Just not quite as much as the Big East.

[Fred Garvin]

In all honesty Fred, I don't mind seeing UC win in football.

I think what I'm trying to say is that you can maximize your love for college football much more by attaching yourself to Ohio State.

And you connect yourself to more people by attaching yourself to OSU football. Especially in Ohio. I go to the bank with my pink OSU cap and the manager gives me the "GO Bucks."

Never once did I think of responding "I'm sorry sir, but I am exclusive to Xavier University. You see there is a fireman with too much time on his hands who has informed me that I must be all things Xavier University."

[PM Thor]

I prefer "firefighter" or "roughneck" if you are trying to insult me.

Fred Garvin Loves UC and he freely admits not going to an X game in order to attend UC football.

I HATE dayton.

[Strange Brew]

Garvin, there comes a time when we all must choose sides. You have chosen yours and it was a poor choice.

No, you may root for the Bucks, Irish, Trojans, Gators, etc. But never, ever, ever, ever, ever, UC. You should immediately head to Quatman's for a special and then make your way to Dana's. It is the only way to clense your spirit.

[Fred Garvin]

Well, I am do for a Danas. In fact I saw 94 leaving the arena last night but I ducked him because I haven't put in my Dana's hours.

Who posts here that works there? I know XU Irish was once there. I might drag my dad over there for a low key midweek lunch.

[Strange Brew]

Sartre, spare me the Existentialism 101.

Garvin, I had writtien a mean obnoxious retort but then I read your reply. Any friend of '94 is a friend of mine.

[PM Thor]

Garvin still has a mancrush on the UC football team.

Skipping the opening game for X for a UC football game?

Reprehensible.

I HATE dayton.

[Strange Brew]

Garvin still has a mancrush on the UC football team.

I agree it was an egregious mistake however he has stated that he will atone for his sins by taking his father to Dana's. I believe that a UC sucks burger and a couple of beers will make him see the error of his ways.

[waggy]

,, however he has stated that he will atone for his sins by taking his father to Dana's.

And in the next breath he's looking for them to pick up the tab.

[PM Thor]

Ok, I will cut him some slack. I understand. Being a Bungle fan, I too would look for any football team to win.

My horses are attached to St. Ignatius of Cleveland....not like I would ever miss even a media show of X for them though...snap. Yeah, kind of weird. But like Fred said, I have too much free time.

I HATE dayton.

[Fred Garvin]

I was just reading the fanatics on the AC/DC thread. Those guys don't tour all that often. Atl is gonna take his 11 year old. 95 is gonna hit the Cincy show on the 11th.

But what if that show was on the 10th. Is 95 a lesser fan if he opted to see AC/DC instead of X vs OU?

[Fred Garvin]

Furthermore, I feel no obligation to attend "buy games" till they are discounted.They should be priced as to their entertainment value. If X needs to pay down the debt interest on that arena then they should jack up the costs of Muskieman's fancy seats.

[Strange Brew]

Well kind of but it is not as bad as attending a UC game. UC IS the enemy, the abyss, the root of everything unholy in the world. I can feel the bile churning in my stomach just thinking about that cesspool.

You see the AC/DC concert would be considered a mistep (only if one had tix to an X game, otherwise I'll be there. They are friggin' awesome). Attending a UC game and not openly rooting for the other team? Have some respect for yourself. Show some integrity and pride.:D

[PM Thor]

Of course you shouldn't feel an "obligation" Fred.

It should be an honor.

X only takes the floor what? 15-18 times at home? Who cares who X is playing? Early in the season is when you get to know the new guys, see how the coaching staff is adjusting, plays, defenses, stuff like that.

I say it this way, the more people see the team, the better insight they have.

Are you willing to not know about this Xavier team Fred?

I HATE dayton.

[mr. zimpher]

Woo hoo! We control our destiny, baby. What resiliency. I'll admit I thought taking the safety was a little too cute. But hey, WV executed. They scored, hit the 2, got the onside kick and nailed a 52 yarder.

Kerry Coombs has developed a sick D. He provides an intensity you wouldn't get if you hired a coach from Elder or St. X.

Bummer: gonna have to skip the Xu opener in order to watch my Cats head to Louisville next Friday. The 'Ville has been our bugaboo.

I can't wait.

You are dead to me.

[Snipe]

That was a big win last night. The biggest stories in Cincinnati sports in the last year are Xavier Basketball and UC Football. Coach Kelly is going to be a hot commodity if he keeps this up. UC has a tough road down the stretch.

I root for the Cats but I will be attending the Xavier game. Lousiville is a big rivalry game for UC and I don't think they have beaten them in five years. Kelly doesn't even know what the keg of nails looks like.

Fred Garvin is a Vichy Frenchman cheering for the Luftwaffe but against Das Heer.

Hey Go, atleast we have St. X football to fall back on since UL is sucking a big one.

[D-West & PO-Z]

I cant believe UC might actually be in a BCS bowl game. That is a joke. Who are they even going to compete with? Would the Big East winner play the ACC winner? Thats the only chance UC would have. Two awful conferences.

The computers have the Big East and the ACC each above the Pac 10. Granted, neither the ACC nor the Big East has a USC.

Yeah, the ACC champ always goes to the Orange Bowl. UC would definitely have a shot against Wake or North Carolina.

[GoMuskies]

Hey Go, atleast we have St. X football to fall back on since UL is sucking a big one.

Did you catch the special on CBS yesterday about the St. X/Trinity rivalry? Pretty cool to see that for someone who lives out of town and hasn't been to a St. X/Trinity game in almost ten years.

[Juice]

I dont think the ACC is as bad as people think it is this year. Is there a top team that can play with the big boys? No, but the conference is pretty solid in its depth. Duke is even somewhat respectable this year. I would say the ACC is definitely better than the Big East and might be better from top to bottom than the Pac 10 this year.

[gladdenguy]

I support the UC football Bearcats and would like to see them in the Orange Bowl.

Second to the Louisville/Wake Forest game, UC against the ACC winner in the orange bowl would be the worst BCS game to date. The least watched, etc. Stadium will not even be close to full unless Florida St. can win the conference.
Wow, UC in a BCS game would be hilarious. That should be the end of the BCS right there.
The Big East sucks this year.
On another note, I knew Kahns was a poopy-head but skipping half the Xavier game to watch Wake/UC really solidifies himself way beyond a poopy-head.
Also, UC will lose at least once more, maybe twice. They will not be in the Orange Bowl.

[BlueGuy]

I cant believe UC might actually be in a BCS bowl game. That is a joke. Who are they even going to compete with? Would the Big East winner play the ACC winner? Thats the only chance UC would have. Two awful conferences.

Even worse, how many fans would travel to Miami for the game? What did they have 10,000 at the Bullsh!t.com bowl last year? They can't even fill their own stadium most of the time.

[GoMuskies]

Second to the Louisville/Wake Forest game, UC against the ACC winner in the orange bowl would be the worst BCS game to date.

Louisville/Wake was awesome. Half of Louisville was in Miami. It was beautiful.

[Kahns Krazy]

Wow, GG, Obsess much?

I had an opportunity to see a former Xavier coach and friend beat Bob Huggins and a current Xavier coach and team playTemple in the same day. Unfortunately, X laid a big ol' egg that day. The times overlapped a bit, but I went to both. It was a great day to be a X fan. It was also one of the last times I talked to Coach Prosser, and it's a treasured memory of mine. If that makes me a jackass in your book, then I'm proud to be a jackass.

Cattitude? fukkin cattitude?? Really. I know I really want to revel in UC football on this board, its why I come here, truth be told. Gag.

There isn't a board for this somewhere else where one may go and roll around in bearcatpiss and leave us alone? May I have another, please, Mr. Garvin?

[DC Muskie]

If you ask nicely, Snipe will sing you the UC fight song.

[jdm2000]

I'm excited by the possibility of (1) UC making the BCS and (2) UC being paired with the Buckeyes in the BCS. How will that happen?

Keep in mind these rules:

1. The BCS can only take two teams from a single conference.
2. The BCS is only required to take one non-BCS team that finishes in the top 12, not all non-BCS teams in the top twelve.

So here's the scenario. There are 10 open slots (Rose, Fiesta, Sugar, Orange, Championship)

Championship: Texas Tech v. Alabama (or some other Big XII v. SEC game)
Rose: Penn St. (B10 champ) v. USC (Pac 10)
Sugar: Florida (SEC connection) v. Utah (non-BCS)
Orange: ACC rep (they have a connection to Orange) v. Big XII (the Orange has a long history with the former Big 8, with Okla. and Neb. going there a lot)

So, you're left with two slots. One for the Big East (assume UC for the sake of argument). The Fiesta ends up with UC, then has to choose between a second non-BCS school or Ohio St. (There are no other likely BCS at-larges in the Pac-10, Big East, or ACC.) Who do they take? Boise St. or the Buckeyes?

(My only caveat here is that I'm not completely sure how it all works with the conference affiliations. The Rose is affiliated with the B10 and the P10, the Fiesta with the BXII, the Orange with the ACC, and the Sugar with the SEC. But I think that since the Fiesta's "host" team of the Big XII is in the title game, it could probably choose whoever it wants, whether from the Big XII or not.)

[Juice]

Here is Stewart Mandel's predictions on SI.com:


Jan. 1 Orange: North Carolina (ACC champ) vs. Cincinnati (Big East champ)
Jan. 1 Rose: Penn State (Big Ten champ) vs. USC (Pac-10 champ)
Jan. 2 Sugar: Alabama (BCS at-large) vs. Utah (BCS at-large)
Jan. 5 Fiesta: Texas (BCS at-large) vs. Ohio State (BCS at-large)
Jan. 8 BCS Championship (Miami): Texas Tech (BCS No. 1) vs. Florida (BCS No. 2)



• The Fiesta Bowl will select 11-1 Texas to replace Texas Tech and, with the first at-large choice, take 10-2 Ohio State as the Longhorns' opponent.

• The Sugar Bowl will take 12-1 Alabama to replace Florida and, with the second at-large choice, select 12-0 Utah over the Big East champ (which I'm projecting to be 10-3 Cincinnati).

• USC will win out, while Oregon State will stumble once, sending the Trojans to the Rose Bowl where they will meet Big Ten champ Penn State.

• North Carolina will beat Wake Forest in the ACC title game. (To find out how I reached this conclusion, send me a self-addressed stamped envelope and I will send you back a 36-page flow chart in which the league's top six teams all finish either 9-3 or 8-4.)

[jdm2000]

The only thing I'm not 100% sure of is whether the Fiesta and Sugar have to take their conference reps., or they will just want to.

On second thought, though, if they get to pick replacements before any at-larges are picked, then it makes an OSU/UC game almost impossible (unless one of them picks Utah or whoever over the remaining Big XII or SEC teams, which won't happen). So forget my previous post, I guess.

[xu95]

I don't believe the Fiesta bowl is affiliated with any conference. As for the Sugar, in the year they aren't the Championship game, they have to take the SEC team. Same holds true for the Orange and Rose bowls.

Where I am confused is the extra game. Did I just wake up from a Rumplestilskin sleep or something? Wouldn't the Miami championship game be the Orange Bowl?

Florida's going to win the national title.

I understand rooting for UC football in the absence of any real football team here in Cincinnati and do not begrudge anyone on that.

But referring to any University of Cincinnati team with the pronoun "we" is so utterly wrong.

i saw the end of this upon getting home from the X game. What was the deal between the two coaches? No handshake, and the announcer said they were arguing before the game? Anyone have any idea?

[Cheesehead]

UC traditionally prays prior to the game near or around the 50 yard line but they always stay off the other team's logo or mascot and apparently UL coaches felt UC was intentionally disrespecting UL and words wer exchanged with both head coaches trading words. Kelley wanted no part of the handshake afterwards (reminded me of Gillen and Thuggy).

UC's gonna win the Big East and Ohio State is gonna play Oregon State in the Rose Bowl. And you'll notice this requires a little help from a former UC coach.

Seriously, how great are the Cats? Gilyard= Peter Warrick. Mickens will be playing on Sundays. And Connor Barwin is a monster.

X fans publicly rooting for UC without shame. Isn't that the seventh sign of the apocalypse? I'm deeply concerned and worried.:)

We're all Bearcatty about Cincinnati!!!

Let's go Cats!!

I'm not, and will not root hard for the basketball team but see no conflict of interest in supporting UC's football team. They have something good right now and it is worth my time to take interest.

UC is one win away from essentially being locks for the Orange Bowl. Unreal. Even more unreal is that they'd probably be favored against anyone the ACC has to offer.

I support UC football and would like to see them do well, but there are several teams from the ACC that I think would beat UC. I actually saw conference rankings today and the SEC is third behind the Big 12 and the ACC.

The ACC doesn't really have a single really good team. But they don't have any bad teams, either. It's weird. But UC will be favored in the Orange Bowl if they beat Pitt (Miami might be the exception since it would essentially be a home game for the Canes).
