Sounds like you have been sharing Cronin's watering hole. Respect will come when he stops asking for it and it is deserved. Til then, it will only be given grudgingly. He will get his due if it is warranted. There is no grand conspiracy to keep Cronin down or UC out of the national arena.

nice try bro. this guy a xavier fan or something? ban the haters of the program imo.
keep putting words in my mouth too.
again, lets recap the "big" wins cincy has had this year and tell me if this is, or is not what weve heard after the games:
XU by 20: Tu just had a bad game, team couldnt make shots and this is a downyear for XU. They arent very good. Lost a lot of games in non conf. etc etc. Then they crush the A-10....hmm...
@ St Johns: SJU isnt a good team or top of teh BE type team. They go on to beat ND, pitt, duke and rarely losing a game at home all year
vs Ville: lousville just had a bad night. Siva didnt play well.
@ Gtown: well, chris Wright got hurt. despite the fact they were down double digits in the 2nd half when he came out and played 24 minutes, seems to go largely unnoticed.
@ Marq: well, marqs just a bottom tier BE team. Theyre a bubble team at best for ncaa tourney. Beating them isnt a big deal, even if its on the road.
vs Gtown: Well, chris wright didnt play, so ya.
Vs mizz: yancy gates was hitting 3's. What else could you expect to happen. Besides, Mizz was a 9-9 team in the B12 that was inconsistent all year. (this when they opened as a favorite according to the vegas lines, despite kpom predicting UC from the get go)
really the more i read this, this guy has to be a troll/fake account. Theres no way. Very good job trolling though, i admit to that bc everything you imply is beyond infuriating, including your tone.

You don't think respect is warranted right now? You're joking right?
The type of long term respect he is looking for, no. Not to say he is not to be applauded for this season because I think he deserves some due. Respect through national exposure however, jury is still out on that. Constantly asking for it is not going to help his cause either. Sorry. My opinion, it takes a track record to grab that golden ring. Time will tell if he is a marathon man or a sprinter.
Above all said and good, I am confident he has our boys digging the respect card and they will come out with a 2 by 4 on their shoulders as always. I am predicting a win by 5.
Now, would someone mind making me wise to the trolling/fake account business. Seems I have been granted admission into that fraternity without a proper introduction.

Not a troll. Just a Cronin hater. Just can't get over the fact that he left to go to Louisville. Kills him that they are doing well, because it doesn't fit the agenda of hating Cronin. No question he is hopeing that Cronin is a one year wonder. Funny, though, he said earlier that basketball isn't his sport, football is. I guess he is back to stir the pot.

Fact.
You can like the statement or hate it, but the fact of the matter is this. UC must continue to win YEAR in and YEAR our to bring back the national recognition. A great NCAA run will bring out everyone in cincy, Ohio. But national respect is earned by winning at a high level multiple years.
What kind of respect does having your drunk barfing police video shown on ESPN Sportscenter get you? What about losing in the second round 8 out of your last 9 seasons?
BTW, Mick has UC in the 3rd round of the NCAA tourney this year!

Again has nothing to do with bob Huggins. Your hatred towards a man who personally brought greatness to UC is comical.

There are two legit sides to this and I would hope both can be debated without resorting to childishness.There is a difference between long term respect and respect for the body of work you've done in a season.
UC has won 26 games this season and should receive some attention for the job they've done. There is a legit gripe when you finish ahead of, and beat people, and they are appluaded and your not. Mick Cronin should be recognized for the job he's done as well.
However, long term respect comes with consistent winning. But you can't have long term success without first having that first years success. This program now has something to build on and has taken that first step toward attaining the type of respect they cherish for the name Cincinnati Bearcats!

Well said Jeff. Do people really want Mick to shut up about this? If he does it gives off the appearance that he doesn't care or believe in his kids. I always wanted my coaches to be an advocate of me and my teammates.
Here is another example of people dismissing UC still. Thursday night I watched Sportscenter waiting to see the UC highlights and hear Jay Bilas or Dickie V talk about how great they were that night. I saw UCONN highlights. I saw San Diego St highlights. I saw all the buzzer beaters. You know what never showed up: UC highlights. I kid you not. It was the only game that was not shown on Sportscenter. These kids like to see themselves on Sportscenter. They grew up watching it for crying out loud. In the world of recruiting it is out of sight, out of mind. I would rather have my coach sticking his neck out and making comments instead of sitting back with his feet up.
There is a big part of me that is glad that this team is being overlooked in the media because they play their best ball when they feel disrespected. I expect them to play this game with a big chip on their shoulder and I hope to see them play hard and focused. I think we will.

Youve already directly contributed to highjacking/getting a thread locked in the past 48 hours http://bearcattalk.com/showthread.php?p=32753#post32753
now youve hijacked this one that was made with a playful notion of coming up with some headlines.
lucky for us, youve already showed why no one should listen to a word you say. In your own words
sounds like youve closely followed the season....oh wait
Mick is getting the national respect, excellent article on Mick:

No respect is a great card to have in your pocket at times... It has worked out well for the Cats. Being the "underdog" is one type of style, handling success is completely different.

I really try to not get into the middle of these things, but I don't think Cronin is begging for long term respect, he's wanting respect for this team and these players.

Now Buc, I know you got the memo stating that you and I were to play nice. Guess in your supreme arrogance, you came to the conclusion that rules only apply to the peasants. Seeing how I too am royality, I will join in your fray as always. I would hate to see you become bored. My motivation to posting is really none of your business and your assumptions are about as worthless as most of your post. -Tosses the ball back into Bucs court-
Now to finish with a headline. "Bearcats heading to the Sweet Sixteen due to sufficating defense. Cronin demands key to the city".
