Help Support BearcatTalk:

How about we try and keep it civil in here and about our basketball related opinions. I'm sure I have been disrespectful to someone on here as have others, for that I am sorry. We are going to disagree can we try and do it respectfully.
You got childish ppl in here calling me stupid, acting as if my posts dont make sense all bc I have a opposing opinion on the team and head coach. You should of said this to cincy13 and alumni13 They might be butt brothers or somethin
 
Everyone cut out the insults and keep posts on topic. Just follow those two simple rules and this can be a quality place for Bearcats discussion.

This is the thread to put all discussions that don't fit a certain topic. That includes arguments about Cronin or Brannen. If someone uses insulting language, just report the post. Responding just fans the flames. We don't need this site to be filled with "idiot", "dumbass", or "your mom".

Merry Christmas.

Dude check cincy13 and alumni13. My posts prior to being harrased we well within guildlines. Its slanted perspective on this board. For shame
 
Yeah the last thing we need are freshman guards scoring 11 plus ppg and 3 assists on 56 per shooting and 53 per from three. I agree that recruiting rankings are overrated but when you use a team as an example pick one that's actually recruited better. Last four years UC has had the better class twice and UConn twice. Uc aac class ranks 2,2,2,4 UConn 1,8,9,2.

Dude quit trying to argue with me making far fetched statements. Ill take a freshman guard but just not that one. Iowa is known for football not basketball. They've been boring for decades and the fredricks kid was passed on by a number of local schools. Im not a cronin fanboy Ive rarely brought him up all ive done is reference Brannen and thats the disconnect here
 
This is my last post to you because you're too stupid to have a conversation with. But you tried to be clever/smart and still used the wrong freaking wording you idiot.

It should have been "you're" not "your".
Man you are only showing how weak you are. Petty as hell, its ok bc when guys stress stuff like that they dont have anything else to say. You cant see me intellectually clearly and your lucky I cant see you in physical form bc i would literally slap yo mouth... But I will ignore you for now on your certainly beneath me I can tell little guy

How is anything I have said far fetched those are facts. They maybe known for football but I believe they knocked us out of the tournament last year. I was fine with Cronin he left they didn't fire him. I just find it hard to believe that in 12 games you could honestly believe Brannen can't do the job. I was referring to everyone's disrespect my own included. We can disagree without name-calling etc.

JoeRunner will take a break for a couple weeks due to repeated violations. Just to be clear, posts by other members do not excuse any behavior.

I'm not on any side of this argument because I think its silly.


But... I do feel. everyone who participated in the personal insults should have some kind of warning issued as well.

If the board is being moderated fairly then all personal attacks need to be addressed.

I got issued a warning by using the p word. I'd hope that calling other users stupid or insinuating others are stupid should be cause for the same.



BUT Man, am I glad I wasn't apart of this whole mess. Im taking this apathetic approach to UC basketball pretty serious and its beautiful.
 
I'm not going to publicly announce every warning, but I will say that JoeRunner isn't the only member who got one. He is the only member so far who has been banned because he continued after the warning.

The design of the system is to let any and all members report posts they find particularly offensive. The mods aren't here to be police or go back and read and re-read all the content that lead up to specific arguments.

If someone reports a post it will get reviewed. That's how it works. If you don't report it...you might as well assume no action will be taken
 
Tennessee lost by 20 to Wisconsin at home yesterday, hence dropping from 46 to 72 in the NET rankings. It looks there's a better chance we get a Q2 win out of beating Vermont over UT at this point.

i really didn't think that game was going to make or break our resume if it was a quad 1 win. We need a lot of wins.
 
Now that our series with OSU is over and UCONN is leaving, I would love to see a home and home with Louisville starting. I heard Brannen and Mack are friends. Was always a good rivalry.

I also assume we will be playing Dayton in the years to come. I am a big fan of regional games. Hope for more of them.

Im a big fan of regional games as well. There are so many potentially great opponents in surrounding states. we could never go more than one state away in the non conference and have a great schedule. potential opponents include UK,Lou, ND,Pur,IU,Mich,MSU,WVU,Nova,Pitt,PSU, OSU,and X just from power conferences. Throw in Day,Nku,Wku, most of the Mac conference, the other Philly teams, ball state, Indiana st etc. No need to travel.

RIP Chuck machock, 4 seasons I worked nights and couldn’t watch the games, so I listened to them on 700 wlw, he was definitely a homer but it’s not the same listening to it now without him, always sad to see a bearcat go, he’s the reason Huggins got the job and part of the reason are program is where it is today.
 
I don’t know if this was posted anywhere on here but the most recent cincy slanging podcast with lenord stokes is very good. He talks about mick’s relationship with past players and what went down with the coaching search. Very interesting to hear a former player talk about these things.

I wonder why mick didn’t embrace these guys. He was a part of the team when they were here so it’s not like they were someone else’s guys. I just find that to be odd.
 
If anyone Has not listened to Brannens press conference it’s very interesting. He gives a lot of insight on the team. Metrics, how they have made adjustments, etc..

my favorite part was when he talked about Scott and midrange shots and how its the goal for him not to take them.

Yeah, it’s a terrible shot. I’m still surprised he said to never take them. I like his approach to the game. Seems to be a lot more new age approach. We will see if it works.

I also liked when he talked about the adjustments they have made. Goes to show, he is willing to change. Takes time.
