Xavier Fans...

[Thegreatone]

I know some XU basketball fans get on this site. I am wondering what is your guys opinions on UC football? Is it OK in the eyes of true Xavier basketball fans to be fans of UC football?

If you dont want to be known switch your sn and reply. I am very curious to the reaction.

I'd be curious to find that out as well. Remember a few years ago for the Victory Bell game Miami tried to recruit Xavier students to come up to Oxford to root against UC? I thought that was funny. In my experience most X fans don't really have a deep-rooted hatred for UC. Of course I don't hang out with any Xavier die-hards. I would imagine the current students and recent grads probably can't root for any UC sport. I know I don't root for any of their sports. I was at an awards banquet this past weekend and Xavier was one of the sponsers and they were giving away a prize pack and I was going to be pissed if I'd have won it. I would've given it back.

All of the XU grads I know are Notre Dame football fans first and foremost, with OSU coming in second.

To all of you XU people who are from Cincincinnati, see my post on the basketball threads about why people from Cincinnati should not root for OSU ever. The fans/alumni of OSU feelings' towards the city of Cincinnati include you too. They do not respect the city/region you were born in.

I think some follow UC football out of boredom.

XU bball fans get on this site? should be good debate for the crosstown. I know some X fans that like UC football-but wouldnt be "die-hard" fans. How do you guys feel about Xavier fans being UC football fans? "They are Xavier fans- we dont want them cheering our football team" or more towards the "I like it- more fans for the team"

IMO Xavier fans that are UC football fans is a good thing- but not because it adds more fans but more due to the fact it shows our program is good. I think now that UC is good in football you see more XU fans cheering for them--6 or so years ago there were A LOT less XU fans....heck- A LOT less UC fans!

Some people might just be home town fans who like X slightly more than UC, but also follow UC football. Not everyone fits into neat categories.

I would love for my XU basketball fans to jump on board with the football team. I love that UC football fans is kind of an exclusive club that is growing but I wish more of my friends were on board to talk about UC football and go to games with etc..

One of our ticket holders for UC Football is a big XU Basketball fan.
