If it's any consolation, you only had to deal with that [insert really ugly profane description here] Tuberville for 4 seasons. Thanks to the very special people I share a state with, I'm going to be stuck with that [insert even uglier and more profane description here] as my damn senator for probably the rest of his life. That seems to be how we do things here.
I had Doug Jones when I moved back here. Now I have... this.
I had sacred duty to despise Brian Kelly the very second he became the head coach of Notre Dame. I can't imagine the disdain I would have if he left my alma mater for it. I seem to recall UC players before their bowl game being pretty open about how they felt about their coach leaving like a thief in the night.
I'm an interloper in the online college football space. I have no rooting interest, I just think a lot of the content creators are smart and funny. I really enjoy the embattled cookbook character, particularly when your team is winning. I saw the good brand talking smack. Hope you're enjoying the season.
"current power-conference teams like ... Virginia Tech "
"For the Bearcats, though, lacking both the prestige and on-field success of those teams "
I appreciate VT being considered a prestigious school in hindsight, but they were definitely not considered a prestigious school in the 80's/90's. It took the '95 Sugar Bowl win against Texas to get recognized as a decent school and then even in '99 it took a crazy alignment of stars (and a once-in-a-lifetime talent at QB) for them to make the championship game.
Hope to see Cincy with a similar alignment of stars. Always fun to cheer for the David in the DvG situations.
Great article! I love what you did to Indiana this past weekend. They deserved every bit of it, arrogant wannabes. In two weeks I would love to see a repeat scene and sadden that purple weasel at ND. It would be perfect lesson in karma, hubris, and humility for both school and coach.
I’m happy to see the best team in Ohio have great success this year.
In my experience one of the most enjoyable sports feelings is being one of the top teams while also being an untraditional power, much like Cincinnati today. The “we aren’t even supposed to be here” feeling is just awesome. Louisville has been experienced that a few times in my life and it never gets old.
I almost didn't recognize Brian Kelly because he was smiling in that photo. I suppose you can take some consolation in the fact that after he left Cincinnati for Notre Dame (always the sign of a wrong 'un in my book), he has been a miserable rage-a-holic who lives in his own punishment every day.
Rather like Scott, I am not at all biased in this matter.
Anyone else remember Uncle John's Bathroom Reader? Uncredited, unsourced, possibly the basis for an alarming amount of information I subconsciously believe but have never verified. What a bizarre product.
As a fan of TCU, I am excited to have Cincy in the conference no matter how little geographic or historical sense it makes. It's nice to see the other teams that have wandered in the wilderness "make it".
"[T]hey’ve got a non-zero shot—if a lot of things go right over the next couple of months—to be the first school from outside of college football’s traditional power structures to crash the College Football Playoff . . ." Ummmm . . . about that, Scott. I think you may be undere$timating the fundamental $tructural underpinning$ of the$e "playoff$."

I’m going to print this edition out and keep it in my wallet in case I ever get jammed up in conversation in this city and find myself floundering
