I Present to You: The U of Cincinnati, Big East Champs!!!

Post by Teal »

Well, living in Cincinnati we have little to cheer for short of my own near and dear Xavier University basketball team (two elite 8's in five years). But this year, one of my alma maters, the University of Cincinnati, finally broke through to the big time and made a BCS game as the 2008 Big East champions! They beat West Virginia, Rutgers, Pitt, Louisville, and South Florida and played Oklahoma (at OK) very tough for a half before collapsing in the 4th quarter.

So we are going to Orange Bowl, and maybe we'll play BC (I hope for Boise State though).

Go Bearcats!

Congratulations, Dr Todd ! The Bearcats are a very good team this year. They have the fire and the desire. I hope they do well in the Orange Bowl.

I am a Pitt graduate, myself, and living in WV. I'm having a good day too. I just love it when my Panthers beat the Mountaineers.

Congratulations Dr. Todd! So you gonna make the trip out here with the team next weekend? That will be like a bowl game trip itself. Too bad the Bearcats won't be able to relax as much as if it were the end of the season - maybe they can with the real bowl game a ways off.

Brian,

I know--its weird! A post-conference game with Hawaii. Should be a fun one. I bet more than a few people miss ol' June Jones out that way...
