Went off on Xavier players and coach. She was not happy at all. I am hoping they cancel the game. Brings out worst in everyone.

 

[TheLivingLegend]

canceling the game would be idiotic. People are alll overreacting, good lord.

Exactly, everything is being overblown. I imagine once suspensions are given out and we wait a week it will be fine. I mean how many people are talking about the Georgetown fight that happened over summer? That was much much worse

 

[Thegreatone]

The game brings nothing. Fans act like fools and players fight every year. I am not interested in keeping the game going. Life will go on without the shootout.

I am ready to scrap it. It is a pissin match...

 

[more cowbell]

Not much of a match If one team wins 4 of the last 5. I can see why she would want to stop if UC's prospects are not improving.

 

[Thegreatone]

Exactly my point.

 

[TheLivingLegend]

Terrible idea.

Letting these few "punk players" win is dumb. This is a storied rivalry, it should continue and it will.

Plus, X needs at least 17 more years.

 

[Thegreatone]

I am talking about me personally. I would rather the teams not play. It has a little to do with the players and a lot to do with the fans.

I enjoy college athletics for what they are. THis game has lost that.

 

[TheLivingLegend]

Attending the crossdown shootout last year was an awesome experience, as im sure it was this year for xavier fans.

 

[Thegreatone]

I agree it was fun and should have been for X fans this year. For a small percentage of my UC and XU fans it is a great game.

The majority of the game has turned ugly IMO. Maybe I am missing something. Maybe being on campus and the fight skewed my opinion. I will reserve judgement to change my mind.

 

[TheLivingLegend]

Maybe you just have become a tweener... A UC/XU fan who is unsure who to root for

 

[Thegreatone]

Lol, maybe.

I go to almost all the UC coaches show.

I travel to watch the football team at least 2 times a year and 3 of 4 most recent bowl games.

I have season tickets for UC football and basketball.

I am a cheif moderator for a bearcat website.

90 percent of my tweets are UC related.

I go to XU. That is it. I am sorry if I try to look at things from an objective view. I wish more people could look at things without their teams colored glasses on.

I don't want to say end it, but obviously, security needs to be tighter.
The bench clearing can't happen again, and if it's going to be Xavier, punching head butting and throwing blows every year, then yeah. End it.
We get literally nothing out of it.
Tradition means very little, in contrast to keeping stuff like what happened yesterday from going down.

 

[UCalum08]

Its always been a lose lose for uc. Every year Xavier is allowed to act like thugs and get away while we have to just take it. Its a damn joke how unfair this match up has been the past 10+ years. I'm not opening a Huggins debate but he had a strong point in not wanting to play those classless punks.

 

[TheLivingLegend]

I dont wear glasses.

As a kid the excitment that surrounded the crossdown shootout was awesome. The city needs this game, it creates a buzz... It brings the casual fans out. UC needs all the fans it can get right now.

 

[UCalum08]

Drop the Xavier game and replace it with a real top tier school. One who doesn't start sh!t and play cheap and no integrity. There are 24 other teams I would rather see uc play than The wanksters in poorwood.

The city is an apathetic $hit hole, and always will be.
We need fans to show up, but honestly, they aren't even at this game when it's at Cintas.
Some fans...

You're right, but UC has still managed to get some W's. I understand the Xavier program is light years ahead of UC's, but UC will be back. No need to stop this match-up because it's been "unfair."

This is all we get from shootout talk. Never quality. Always pissin matches.

I do not want this to become Michigan OSU or Auburn Alabama. Those people have lost control. I can see it turning that way. For me, personally, I am not interested in that.

I've wanted to cancel the game for over 10 years. I don't know any UC fans that get enjoyment out of it. Xavier is like an annoying fly buzzing around your face. And their fans, coaches, and players don't know how to handle success with class.
