Vomit. You people live in a fairy tale world. I'm sure if someone wanted to kick your ass you'd prob say; Oh please sir. Can't we just all be friends. Thats a nice shirt youre wearing. Get with it. Its the real world.

Present facts back and not personal attacks. It lessons your argument. So figure out how to have an actual debate.

It depends on how big the guy is, and what were fighting about. If he's small, and I'm pissed, I'll rock that midget right in the grill like a boss. But If he's bigger than me, or just plain mean looking, I probably will do what you said. I may even run. Seems logical enough, right? That is living in the real world. (Fwiw, I'm totally joking. I'm 32, I aint fighting anyone unless they did something just plain awful. And even then, I may get one of bigger friends to do it.)

"Present facts, not attacks." Simply awesome. We either are fortunate enough to have the reincarnated Johnny Cochran on here, or someone who just watched a shit ton of Jackie Childs Seinfeld episodes. In all seriousness, I'm totally borrowing that line. Not even kidding.

Oh, I almost forgot, who prefaces a statement with "Vomit."? A.) A 14 year old girl. I have never heard someone with testicles say "Vomit..."

I was replaced by Peter Warrick.

Great win by the Bearcats!
GO UC

Guys I don't get why some won't admit there have been some issues exposed with this team. That's not a bad thing, it's good. The non conf games didn't challenge them and now they are being challenged. The good thing is they can now fix it. This team has responded to coaching and criticism well and that makes me believe they will continue to do so and get better. It was a good road win but some things need fixed. 17-3, 4-3 in conf, two home games looming, even with the issues not a bad place to be.

UC 17-3, Cincinnati Champs 66-46, MMVC Champs, Mick is a great coach.

I'm not going to lie, I am enjoying this thread way too much! It amazes me that ready2go is still trying to argue his point, which seems to always be the same in every post he/she makes. I think most people on this board are ok with criticism, hell we all bitch and complain during games but in the end the result is all that matters to us. For fans such as yourself winning doesn't seem to be enough for whatever reason. You expect perfection every game, which is extremely unreasonable.

As for the entire OSU football thing and UC basketball thing. I agree with the above posters. Have you ever attended OSU or UC? Did you somehow have season tickets for both for years? Did your daddy ween from childhood to follow these two vastly different schools and programs? It just doesn't make sense to me as a UC alum and an Ohioan. I mean Cincy fans get more $hit from everyone in Ohio than any other fanbase in the state, how could you possibly like both? Its kinda like having your cake and eating it too, its extremely bandwagon.

Oh and P.S. I played for a coach with over 780+ wins, and that doesn't mean $hit because his assisstants are the ones who should get all the credit, he couldn't coach himself out of a cardboard box! Point is, just because a head "coach" wins, doesnt mean he is the one who is doing the coaching!

Who won't though? Ralph? I haven't see anyone try to say otherwise, that they haven't been (more than) exposed in areas. Personally, I think our team is an everyday middle of the pack team. I think at best we sneak in as a 6-10 seed, and we have no real chance of accomplishing a great deal in the post season. I have no illusions about this team, and again, I don't see many that do.

I do see someone going out of their way to rip them though. It's as plain as day. Here's how one entered the discussion (verbatim, I didn't alter the intro)

Big win... ya da da da da da

This teams is in serious trouble.

Does that not seem like someone who is really annoyed with people saying big win, or the win itself? It was a pretty big win, which doesn't mean it was greatly played win.

True. Good coaches surround themselves with great minds. When the coach however is surrounding himself with his former players, it speaks volumes about the coach. And also when that coach has 4 former players coaching on NFL Staffs, one of them being a D coordinator, he is on a whole nother level.

Regardless, the only way to get better is to work on the things that arent working.

I am a UC Basketball Fan. Its frustrating to watch the same mistakes over and over

For me personally I would rather lose a hard fought game than to win a poorly played one. Atleast after the game you could look yourself in the mirror and say I left it all on the court.

This quote right here says everything anyone should ever need to know about where your views are coming from. You would rather lose respectfully than win any way necessary! Plain and simple.

 

[bearcat jeff]

Yeah that's a bad way to enter a discussion. Everything is about perspective.

Most of us know this team is mid pack. Personally I think they can finish in that 5-7 range. Understanding that we want to see the team take the next step and that's the NCAA Tournament. Getting back is big for us. This program has been to the abyss. A lot of us have stuck things out so forgive us if we think all the chrome not being polished is alright.

If by meaning that I like to earn things, not have them given to me. Then yes, I am that person

Hahaha, great response, way to spin you enjoy losing rather than winning. And who is to say that this team didn't leave everything on the floor? You? Don't try to complicate winning ugly with freeloaders who just happened to be handed something without working for it. Man you a thick-headed

 

[bearcat jeff]

In order for someone to give a game away someone has to take it. UC did enough to win. R2G you need at minimum to give them that much credit. Every game is not a masterpiece.

MDW79 is more than willing to criticize the team when it is necessary.

I have enjoyed this thread.

I do agree we should press more but we do need to get to make baskets to set up the press.

 

[ralph1950]

An ugly win is still a win, Mick is a great coach, he out coached Steve Lavin all day long. How about the great play Mick came up with at the end of half 1.

 

[ralph1950]

Rick Minter has 3 former assistants that are head coaches in the NFL, the Steelers Mike Tomlin, the Jets Rex Ryan, and the Ravens John Harbaugh, yet Rick had a losing record as head coach.

just a side note...it is banter in threads like this that made me stop reading BCN...come on Bearcat Talk, we are better than this

exactly. this is clownlike.

 

[MDW79]

Allowing people to mock someone who openly roots for that turd of a football program in O$U is a really nice feature to this site.

Seriously, is it not obvious enugh he hates the current program? What's wrong with giving him a hard time? If we have to read "Big win...Ya Da Da Da Da" to open his discussion, where's the harm in calling him out?

They did not play under Rick Minter. That was my point there Ralph

........One of the coaches is coaching in todays games

I believe I add an element to this site. That being more traffic. In result, more adds. In result more money for the site. In result more time to allow people to bash my fanhood and beliefs. But im a team player and will gladly allow everyone to hop on my shoulders
