Sorry about the extra next in my post, I don't want to be branded an illiterate Cronin loving dummy.

BCat that's not accurate. Attendance has been rising.Mick is going to be here for awhile. Is this really how you want to approach each season. Arguing about the coach.

Not arguing. It is what it is, just disappointing this is the state of our team I really want to support. Just don't think I can shuck out the money for this product anymore.

Believe me I'm not one to toss money away. Unless you count my reds tickets this year. Lol! I'm just a huge baseball fan. By the way the Cat baseball team has won 9 straight.

Getting back to my point. This could be a very nice season. You seem like a real fan of the game. This isn't the time to throw away your tickets.
 
I still to this day follow Bob H. and don't know if we will ever get to the level that we were at in the 90's but Cronin has put a product on the floor that I think is more than respectable. How long has it been since we have had an incident ( guns on campus- fights, not on the courts- grades- cheating- etc) that's more important to me now 25 years later.

You're right man. Instead of having off court issues, uc now just sucker punch and stomp players on the court.

Uc image is never going to change. They will always be viewed as so called thugs, or whatever. You have to accept this. Cincy could have 50 years with no issues, but 1 issue happens they will be called thugs.

It is what it is.
 
And you will get older... and new students/fans will come in... and it will be forgotten. Hell, before I got to UC I didn't know who Huggs was, this was a few years ago too. The echo chamber gets very heated here though, you'd think this topic was of great importance to the majority of people.

I think Mick was at odds with the administration and went out to UNLV as a angry employee. It would have always been tough for him to leave. He always intended to give UC last chance and that's how it worked out. I'm not buying the whole mid life crisis thing but if others see it that way fine. They are not going to air their dirty laundry in public. Again my opinion and I have no inside info. just drawing on my own real life experiences. UNLV was leaking information since They met in Washington.. They have no one to blame but themselves for the egg on their face. They have a dumpster fire of their own. Players are up and arms because they want Stacey Augmon and have made it clear that if he isn't hired they are leaving. Again I have no inside info just giving my opinion. Glad things turned out as they did but like most could have lived without the drama.

So even though Mick stated publicly he wasn't at odds with the admin you still claim he was. Interesting.....

I'll assume your argument is that if Mick was at odds he wouldn't admit it publicly. Good point, but since Mick didn't accomplish a raise or any promises to upgrade your so called facility issues then I guess he has no backbone since he came crawling back without getting any of the demands you told us for days he was seeking.

A UC fan who spent the last few days talking about how shitty our program's support of our coach is. I think you've shown your true colors Waite and have lost what little credibility you ever had to begin with.

Keep on keeping on though, as long as you have a keyboard, Internet connection and a bottomless pit of false information to support your tired agenda you'll always have a home here at Bearcattalk.com.

much of that has to do with the coach. Our perception was formed awhile ago. When I lived away from Cincy it was all about Huggins. You coulD hear his 4 letter expletives when coaching his players in the cheap seats. It was a running joke how the older fans in the stands would just shutter. When Eric Martin was throw off the bench in the middle of the game was another issue. It also didn't help when video surfaced and reports came out that. he was caught and let go after being falling down drunk behind the wheel. Our graduation rate sucked. We had players carrying guns and torturing other students and quite a few others. It wasn't just about one incident. There were many but we all loved winning and looked the other way. Huggins was colorful.In many ways we earned our reputation. Heck I think it worked to our advantage in so,e circles. I know I bragged how tough our coach was and you didn't mess with the Bearcats. Much younger and dumber in those years I guess. That's one reason I always get tickled when people say Mick is whiney. The conduct of our coach and players is light years better then when BOb was here. We may not be as talented but we definitely are better behaved. For some that matter for others it is a non issue.

oh your talking to me again. How nice. I'm glad to know I'll always have a home. My true colors. LOL! I'm not running from my comments. I still believe what I said is accurate. I also said I don't have any inside info. I'm not trying to mislead anyone. In my mind this is classic cover up not only by Mick but Bohn as well.Gee I hate I lost my credibility. By the way are you speaking for everyone? i'll still be here tomorrow and so will you. Have a nice evening.

Thought L-T would appreciate this...
 
Not sure if this has been posted but here is the AD of UNLV speaking about Cronin.


Cronin told them even before getting on the plane that he was going to sign the contract with UNLV

that explains all the twitter talk from ESPN talking heads regarding UNLV feeling good about Mick, because they were literally thinking they had mick locked up.

Strange; either Mick got to cincinnati and planned on leaving UC and was talked out of it by his family or ONO/Bohn or he just lead on UNLV with zero intent.

I think he we planning on leaving and UC made some closed door deals with UC that they agreed to not talk about.

What a horrible picture...he looks like someone who can't speak who's trying to alert someone of something terrible going on
