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.
Idk about no enjoyment, but i do and always will feel like overall and throughout the history of the rivalry its been a bigger deal to xavier than uc. Imo it really isnt that much different than if UC got to play Kentucky or Ohio State every year. Those games would be much more important to Cincy than those 2 programs.
I grew up in the cincinnati area, and when i was a kid, I dont think i met a single xavier fan that was around my age until I was in high school and even then they were few and far between. The only xavier fans I knew were grown men that were friends of my father. Pretty much everyone in my age group liked one of the following teams:
and really it was just mainly the first two schools tbh Cincinnati
Kentucky
Ohio State
Indiana
Duke
Michigan
Mich St
North Carolina
I really could care less if they got rid of the game as far as it being a "rivalry", but given they are currently a good school to have a home/home with every year I dont mind having it.
