It's sucks for sure bout the Cats, but they are students which are not paid to play in the league...

With that said, all my complaints are directed towards league...it has gotten worse each year... They waited 45-50minutes after tip time to make any announcement...I really feel like my donation went towards the officials as they make so many foul calls at the league, that the games are hard to watch...don't know if I will "donate" any more money to the league this year after their the lack of organization they showed today...

Watching Behanon play today, it was obvious that Gates had more skills overall...if he only had the drive/motor...

Go Bearcats!

I know they aren't paid to play in the league, but that is no excuse. In my household, if you sign up to do something, you honor your commitment. If you don't want to do it, then just simply don't sign up. The league, as you mentioned, also must be better organized. But these guys aren't babies, they world doesn't revolve around them/their schedules, they are college kids, it's time to grow up and act responsible......
 
Glad I didn't drive down to see that.
Practice, weight training etc. can make you feel sore but playing a game of basketball, really shouldn't be that big of a deal.
These are 18-20 year olds... I know, they don't owe anyone anything but still, have a little pride.
:mad:

They should all owe us the $3 we are forced to "donate" to watch xavier and Louisville players while our guys are sitting in the AC at University Park Apartments. There were family's with little kids in UC shirts on excited to support their team and we don't even have a player show up. Embarrassing. There was one kid with a Slats shirt on but not sure who he was. I don't have twitter but I sure hope someone calls them out bc that is some immature punk 'ish.
 
They wanted to play today. They couldn't find a ride to Woodward. No big deal.

That is even more embarrassing. They only had all day to have a ride set up, they go to a school where everything is paid for and you're telling me they didn't have a ride? That is a poor a$$ excuse on so many levels.
 
They deserve to be called out on this. I know basketball can be a tough game, but stop whining that you are sore. Do you know how many people with real jobs go home sore everyday and aren't pampered basketball stars on scholarship? Fans pay to come to this stuff, so if you sign up to do it, then the least you can do is show up. If you are too lazy to show up or don't care, then just don't sign up to play. Or if you are going to forfeit, they should've said something yesterday. I hope they show up to UC games next year, I doubt Coach Cronin will take their sorry ass excuses of being sore as a reason to skip. Stuff like this makes me appreciate the stars who do care about the fans and don't just play the game to help their egos-I hate the Yankees, but Mariano Rivera is a great example. He shows early to games and talks to the fans, he is really passionate about the game, etc. Nobody says that these players need to do that much, but sheez, if you sign up to do something, follow through with your commitment and don't be such candy asses.......

They missed one summer league game. Lets take a step back from the ledge a little bit. You have no idea why they didn't show up. You know nothing of the situation and you take these 17-18 yr old kids out to woodshed. Calm down.

They have been on campus less than a week. The only other people they really know are the other players. None of the veteran players who would usually give them a ride played today. Again, not a big deal.

I'm talking about athletes in general, Jack, I get sick and tired of this. So many of them have huge egos and don't care, it is a widespread problem across many sports.

That very well may be true but you dont know that is why they didnt show up. To make that assumption about our guys when you know NOTHING of the situation was a major overreaction.
 
Yeah these guys have not made a good first impression on me. Not only did the freshman not show up but none of the other UC players on the other teams were there, unless someone played in the first game which I missed. I feel bad for the league honestly because fans for the most part are only going down to watch the X and UC players and when the UC players pull crap like this it only brings the league down further. The league has seemed to be getting worse every year as the talent level seems to get worse every year. Players obviously aren't taking it seriously. I really want to see these newcomers play, but I'm hard pressed to think I'll drive down there and waste my one day off a week to see them not show up. I might have made my last trip down to the summer league.
 
Kevin Johnson has lived here is whole life, Im sure that at least he could've gotten a ride. Not one player showed up, not a single one....

JJ you called it. Saying they didn't have a ride is wrong on so many levels. They are a bunch of freshman babies. I mean if I knew that while I sat there and wasted my time I would have drove a picked them up.
