The Universal Stepping Stone of Cincinnati
It is so sad to see our little doe-eyed comrades in Clifton get repeatedly used as a stepping stone to bigger and better things. Especially at Christmas time. I just want to wrap them in a blanket and give them some (laced) cocoa.
Stike that. At least Notre Dame is bigger and better, but leaving a (not the) University of Cincinnati for the permanently mediocre Michigan State? Ouch. Being second best in a region is something UC is used too.
Football coaches using UC like Tiger uses a cocktail waitress (sorry, hostess) is one thing, but UC basketball getting used to get to moribund basketball programs at Kansas State and Ole Miss? What the hell is this - beg, borrow, or steal a plane, train, or automobile to the get f out of Clifton? (I know, the answer is obviously steal.)

Yikes. Some drink to remember, some drink to forget.
Did the women's swim coach bail for Stanford too? The baseball coach for the night shift at Fedex/Kinko's? UC is left behind more than a quadriplegic at a track meet.
That stone is getting pounded so hard it is going to hit magma soon. If this season goes well, Mick Cronin may leave to take over the girls' team at St. Ursuline.
