Lot of missed opportunities in first half. Didnt get to watch second half but caught overtime. Great play to get the win.
After a fantastic win I can’t believe there are no posts on this site. For my part I am so happy with this season. We are seeing the fruits of Fickle’s defensive acumen. I think he is the real deal and if we could hold on to him (not) we would go very far - like a top 10 ranking within 2 years. On the other side of the ball Ridder is promising but needs to keep scrambling like he did at the end of the game today. Good to see find someone else to throw to other than his tight end today. Excited to see Warren get back on track next week. Go Bearcats!

Fickell definitely has turned things around quickly. We are overachieving this year, but that's the first sign of a good coach. And defensively it is night and day with anything we've seen since Dantonio was here. I'm hoping he sticks around to see a complete team and recruiting by him. Still not impressed with the offensive output at times, including playcalling, but hoping with a full implementation of his players and system that changes.

There's no QB on our team that makes us top 10 good. It has been a good season and the defense has certainly been a welcome surprise but I think most people aren't THAT excited because they know we aren't that great of a team yet, we've just played alot of worse ones.
That said, I think we could easily be a consistent top 25 team if Fickell stays.

I hope that QB is in high school and on the UC radar. Power arm and legs.
LET'S JUST WAIT!
Don't get excited, don't attend the games, don't really support the team until they get into the TOP 10---then jump on the "band wagon". Yup, that's the answer.

When your team has gone 5+ years being ass, you have NFL, MLB, MLS, and two annual top 25 bball teams in the same city yea, you do have to do something to get peoples attention back. Let's be real, UC had like a 10 year stretch in their entire history where they were a consistent top 25 team. The majority of the time UC football was an after thought in this city.

I cheer for the Cats because I grew up in Cincinnati and they are a local team. I did not attend UC. I root for the Cats first but if they are out of the tourney or are not bowl eligible I would root for OSU in football or X in basketball if they are still alive. I’m 65 years old and I think there are many fans who feel as I do. The younger fans seem to be of a different mind set. Which is fine with me.
For years X and UC were not factors in the football world. X eventually giving up there program and UC more recently trying to escalate theirs. OSU tried to be relevant in both sports.
My pecking order is Football UC then OSU and Basketball is UC, OSU then X. When I was younger it was UC, X, and OSU for Basketball.
Always been a reds fan and prior to the Bengals was a Browns fan
I think part of that thinking on my part was due to the fact that for much of my life X was the little sister and was never in my youth considered a threat to UC’s status. That has changed. OSU has never been challenged in the football world .
I guess I’m saying in a long winded way I don’t hate the other programs but would root against them if they are competing against UC.

I gave up my basketball tickets for football tickets roughly 10 years ago. Lots of reasons, and I don’t regret for a second. I still actively root for the basketball team, they just rank lower than the football team in my world.

I enjoy watching and cheering for both. Have been more of a basketball most of my life. Until Dantonio got here I really wasn't much of a UC football fan. We need Football to be a success if we have any hope of getting into a P-5 conference.
