I have no issue with what they are saying, if you take the UC blinders off that all of us are guilty of wearing at times due to being big fans. I think we may lose but I don't think they will blow us out.... That was the point I was trying to make, if I cared enough I am sure I could do a break down of how they are under performing as well.... They were in a very similar situation last year that we are in right now, new coach, lots of transfers, plenty of new faces.... X is more talented than us yes but I don't think its as substantial as some may think.
I think mick vs Mack is the peak of the hate between the two programs.
There was a true hatred
I just don’t want this game to come to blows because I’d think they kick our ass this time. Steele built a tough team that lacks skill
all the tough guys are mack recruits right?
mack was/is a scumbag and really brought out the worst in mick. its good for mick to get away from this game.
There was a point that I just didn’t want to play it anymore. Especially at Cintas.
The signs about micks mom were way out of hand

I would prefer them just not beating us like a drum, like they have for the last 20 years. Would be nice to turn the tables in this game. Hopefully brannen can have more success.
They’ve lost just 40 times at home in 20 years.
So beating them is really hard
But I’d honestly settle for just winning our home Games against X. This should be a series where the home team wins
So often, UC plays so poorly against X that the game appears to be a mismatch. UC has to give itself a chance to win by actually competing. I realize beating X this year will be difficult as it is a really good team. But UC must be in the game and playing close so that it has a chance at the upset. As long as UC plays well, I will be satisfied.
yeah it was getting old when the games were basically over in the first 10 minutes because it seemed like we didn't realize a game was going on.
I think you under estimate how intense the Cintas center is on shootout games.
Fifth third arena is tame In comparison.
Zero way to prepare for that kinda environment.
This season might be close but it will mostly be due to the fact that Xavier doesn’t shoot that well compared to Mack’s teams
Agreed. The average UC student/fan doesn't view this game the way the majority of Xavier students/fans view this game.
They literally only have their Bball and there's nothing else to do there. When I was at UC most people didn't even realize the game was happening unless they heard someone else mention it. The xavier campus KNOWS the game is about to go down and get amped. It's like a high school atmosphere where everyone knows everyone, knows everyone's business, and then during games feed off each others collective douchiness and energy. It can make for a raucous environment but there's a reason there have been numerous complaints about their crowd.

Guess im the same as Xavier fans because I will never be able to not care about this game. This game is huge for me every year. I absolutely hate losing to xavier. Id rather give up my first born than lose to xavier
they did the same thing to us in the neutral site game.
they just seemed to be in our heads. hopefully we come out playing tomorrow.
Xavier fans sh*t standing up.
Brannen is about to breast feed Travis Steele.
