Cincinnati did not step up to the plate. Did they have an actual shot at beating Florida? No, but I think that they could have at least made it a closer game. There were too many distractions leading up to this game. Now, I'm not trying to make excuse for how they played, because they played terribly, but you have to admit, there was a lot on their plate. They lost their head coach in a terribly timed way, their interim coach accepted a head coaching job not a week after Kelly left and cold care less about how the Sugar Bowl ended up, and their new head coach couldn't step in until next season. They definitely were not prepared at all for this game. Again, I'm not saying they would have won, but I was hoping for more of a fight. Plus, when Tebow decides to play like Tebow again.... you can't really stop him. Over 500 total yards? Really? And do you really think OSU or any other team would have actually had a better chance of beating them? I think almost anyone they played would have lost, minus one or two teams.

By far the best post in this thread. I couldn't have said it better myself. Agreed. There are some things that you make an acception for and this is a big one. Especially when you think about how close Chad and Chris were.

And to think just a short while ago they dealt with the passing of Zimmer's wife.... this is really tough to hear. RIP Chris Henry....

Check out http://www.the-house.com They usually have pretty good deals on stuff if you don't mind having to wait for it to be shipped. Play it Again is good if you want cheaper stuff right away, they usually have a decent selection too.

Agreed. Yes, 6 Super Bowls is a big deal. I'm not taking anything away from that, but using the past to cover up the present doesn't help when you've lost to the Browns (2-11) and the Chiefs (3-10).

x2. Now if they had lost to the Browns....

Haha I didn't think so but I wasn't sure. I was like "I'm pretty sure his car's still here in Cincy because Andy talked about working on it" Well we tried to get one together last year but no one from Cincy really showed up so I think we'll have to travel up north this year for "cruises". It would be cool to try and get some sort of Cincy vs Cbus day at a track sometime, or even at an SCCA event.

Are you moving to Columbus Brandon?

Ok, let me rephrase. This side of the Mississippi (US states only)

x2 Probably some of the best snow you'll see outside of Colorado.

Yes. I agree 100%. I think he's great. Sure he's not the best receiver in the league but he's doing a lot better than he did last year. He's always fun to watch and if you follow him on twitter you realize just how good of a guy he is. Every Monday he goes down to Miami to see his family and he buys lunch for whoever decides to come meet him on South Beach. He sincerely loves the game and loves being able to bring fun to a game that every takes so seriously.

I guess we'll all find out this week and I'm sure something will get leaked tomorrow after the meeting. I haven't heard anything about Kelly to Oklahoma. Sure it's likely it could happen within the next few years but doubtful for next year.

I know all the facts. I'm just hoping he stays. I'd hate for him to turn his back on a city that desperately wants him here. If he had just come out and said that he is taking the job, I'd feel differently but all this dodging the questions and making everyone wait is worse. I appreciate honesty and hate that we've had to deal with weeks and weeks of speculation.

I mean, if someone wanted to raise my salary, I would entertain the idea too: Doesn't mean I'd take it. Kelly isn't going anywhere.

No that was a legit call. I'm just surprised that Texas actually ran a play with 8 seconds left to go.... But there were a bunch of flags that were thrown for Texas throughout the game though.

Touche. I didn't realize BYU was in the MWC. But I still stand by the fact that UC would beat TCU. TCU will crush Boise too. Edit: Let me clarify that I'm not knocking TCU. They are a very good, tough team and deserve to be in the same talk that we are. I just think that we are the better team and played a tougher schedule than they did.

Let me guess, you're one of those OSU fans I hate The Big East conference is a lot tougher than whatever conference TCU plays in. We have 3 teams finishing in the top 25(UC, Pitt, WV). UCONN got a tough break when they lost Jasper but was still a tough team. TCU crushed nobody teams all year long. Woo. BYwho? And Utah? Seriously? I guarantee UC would beat TCU if we played each other.

Agreed. While I think we would have a better chance of beating TCU or Boise it wouldn't do anything for the Big East. This is the best case scenario I think. I mean TCU could argue that they deserve a shot at Florida/NCG but we have played more ranked and tougher teams than the have. You have to admit, this was a special year for college football all around. A lot of great games (ie Saturday. That might have been the most amazing games I've seen played in the same day, ever), a lot of upsets, a lot of records were broken and 5 teams ending up with perfect seasons. There haven't been many NCG that had both teams being 13-0. And I'll be rooting for the Bucks during the Rose Bowl. I may hate most of your annoying fans but they're still an Ohio team. Gotta show support for anything coming out of Ohio (mins the Browns....). Stop/slow down Masoli and you'll win. Agreed. Pead is a beast. I want to hear the "You got Pead on!" chant at least 10 teams on New Year's day. And I've been saying this since Collaros first played in the USF game: WE NEED TO USE PIKE/COLLAROS LIKE FLORIDA USED TEBOW/LEAK!! What a better time to use it than against the team that won a National Champ with it!

I mean, we were 1 second away from being there this year... and that Texas game was horribly officiated.... but that's a whole other discussion. Bama is going to destroy Texas, they looked horrible against Nebraska. But if both Cincy AND TCU win, then there will really be discussion about 1) who should have played in the NCG and 2) who should finish as the outright #2 in the country as well as why there isn't a playoff system.

I'm not saying that we will beat Florida, it's going to be extremely tough. We would have to play like we did in the 4th quarter of the Pitt game, the entire game, and then some.... just to make it close. I have faith though, I know they'll be motivated to finally have a shot at proving themselves. As long as they hang with the Gators, I'll be happy.

What a game! Pitt's a tough team, I wasn't sure if we'd be able to come back from 21 down. Either way, amazing game.

Perfect North is about the same size as Mad River but I really like MR's terrain park better. PN has a decent one and it's definitely worth the 20 min drive for me so I usually go every weekend. It's in Lawrenceburg, Indiana just 20 mins West of Cincy. 19074 Perfect Place Ln Lawrenceburg, IN 47025 http://www.perfectnorth.com/

Lucky bastards... Perfect North probably won't be open for a few more weeks. If I wasn't going to be in Florida I'd come up for the Rome Pre-Jib next weekend. I'll definitely come up for the Louie Vito Rail Jam again, that's always a good time.
