Guest RudiRudiRudi Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 I think most UK fans are really scared of this game, the fact is if UK wins no one is going to be too shocked, there will be shit talking but it will go away quickly, but if UC wins its such a low blow to a program that considers itself the greatest ever, losing to a team like UC who is such a ghetto thug program in so many peoples minds would be devastating to UK.... I think its a mistake for whoever replied to Jason Maxiells comment about how big of a game this is for him and UC, they said of course it is everyone wants to play UK, blah blah blah, I think that might be just the motavation a very talented team such as UC needs to pull this one out.... So watch out Max is no doubt the most hungry any of us has ever seen them and the rest of UC excluding Hicks only get hyped up for big games (Hicks is always a beast) So I'll go ahead and start the chants...... Here we go Bearcats Here we go...... Clifton will burn tonight!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest steggyD Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Umm, I think most sports fans are afraid that their team is going to lose every time they watch a game. That is part of the suspense that makes sports so interesting. If you expect your team to just win or just lose, then it takes some of the heart-wrenching excitement out of the entertainment. Kind of like watching the old Bengals, I wasn't afraid they were going to lose, I expected it. And I don't much understand people watching the Patriots, they just expect their team to win, and aren't afraid for them to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Bunghole| Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Hey! Our "rivalry" made the front story of ESPN.com...here it is...good read... Kentucky, Cincy face first meeting in 15 years By Pat Forde, ESPN.com INDIANAPOLIS -- Kentucky and Cincinnati haven't played each other in basketball for 15 years, but that hardly matters. The Rivalry That Isn't does not need actual games to keep it alive. In the greater Cincinnati area, fans of the longtime powerhouses contest it every day. Which is why the area is in an absolute dither over the NCAA Tournament second-round Wildcats-Bearcats matchup Saturday in the RCA Dome. This game is big to the players because it's an elimination game; it's huge to the fans because it's a bragging-rights game. The Ohio River is all that separates Cincinnati and the Bluegrass State. The Midwest and five-way chili on one side, the South and aged bourbon on the other. It's a major geographic dividing line, but it hardly keeps these warring allegiances from intermingling. The Cincinnati airport is actually in Kentucky, and the 'Nati itself is rife with Big Blue fans. Kentucky house flags flap in Queen City subdivisions, and thousands of Northern Kentucky residents work in Cincy -- bringing their Cattitude with them. "You don't really like the people over the river," said Bearcats guard Ryan Patzwald, a Cincinnati native. "That's just the way I was brought up." Both Cincinnati daily papers, the Enquirer and the Post, have regular Kentucky basketball beat writers. The city's TV stations routinely cover UK as well. Sports talk radio is a mixed bag of Kentucky, Cincy and Xavier topics -- and this week it's full of woofing about this second-round NCAA game. "It's kind of a dream game," said Cincinnati strongman Jason Maxiell, who got a smack-talking call this week from former Bearcat Ruben Patterson and former Wildcat Derek Anderson, now teammates with the Portland Trailblazers. "It's Kentucky vs. UC. It's a state rivalry." The Rivalry That Isn't begins on the cultural level. Cincinnatians have long regarded Kentucky with cosmopolitan disdain, looking down on their country cousins to the south. Hillbilly stereotypes are the popular pejoratives. Northern Kentucky got Cincy's airport but also some of its blight. Although native Kentuckian Larry Flynt started his Hustler porn empire in Cincy, the city subsequently booted all strip clubs out of town. Today you have to go to Covington or Newport, Ky., to find a lap dance. Kentuckians have generally responded to Cincinnati's smugness with the only weapon at their disposal -- hoops superiority. Cincy has Oscar Robertson and a couple 1960s national titles on its side. Kentucky has seven titles and all the entitlement one program can handle. The difference in program expectations can be seen in the attendance of their celebrity fans -- Bearcats backer and Cincinnati native Nick Lachey was in the RCA Dome on Thursday, cheering boisterously in a red No. 52 jersey; Wildcats backer Ashley Judd isn't messing with the first or second rounds. She's a Sweet 16 girl. Most maddening of all to Cincinnati fans, Kentucky has the luxury of ignoring the Bearcats. They're 85 miles apart and have have played 36 times over the years but haven't met since 1990. Word is that there was a signed contract to play four more games during the 1990s but that Kentucky didn't honor the deal. In the meantime, Kentucky has played 10 home games in Cincinnati -- but none of those games has been against the Bearcats. They've played Ohio, Dayton, Wright State, Kent State, Marshall, Ball State -- even Vanderbilt. But never Cincinnati. "I'm not going to get into a bunch of discussions about what's what," UK coach Tubby Smith said. "We have our schedule, our guidelines and our reasons for scheduling who we schedule. "We get 23,000-plus at Rupp Arena every game. It's not like we need to play them to help our attendance," he added. Bottom line -- UK doesn't want the game, doesn't need the game and will not play the game in the foreseeable future. Smith has no interest in adding the Bearcats to the current non-conference diet of Louisville, Indiana, North Carolina and Kansas. Clearly, Cincinnati has more to gain from the game than does Kentucky. Power forward Eric Hicks said he thought the Bearcats might be able to win some converts -- then thought better of the notion. "I doubt if you could change a Kentucky fan's mind," Hicks said. "They'll probably brush it off and start going to their history." Bob Huggins likes Smith and probably hopes to win him over and eventually resume the series. So the Combative One treads lightly on the topic of Kentucky ducking his program. "We've talked about it," he said. "It just hasn't worked. They have some non-conference games that they're contractually into for a while. (Smith) has told me he thinks it would be a good game for basketball in Cincinnati and northern Kentucky." But now, in the NCAA Tournament? With Cincinnati in the scary underdog role and Kentucky looking like a vulnerable favorite? That's a worst-case scenario for the perpetually concerned Big Blue fans. Bob Huggins can't get UK on his schedule. The Rivalry That Isn't gains further spice from the programs' starkly different philosophies. [b]Cincinnati is an uptight town with an anything-goes basketball program. The state of Kentucky was built on vices -- whiskey, tobacco and thoroughbred wagering -- but cherishes its uptight basketball program.[/b] The Bearcats were literally laid-back Friday. With Huggins a few feet away in their locker room, swingman Armein Kirland did television interviews while flat on his back on a table, head propped up by a stack of towels. In another part of the room, guard Jihad Muhammad's Marley-esque dreds flowed down his neck. It's impossible to envision them surviving under Smith, a coach who once banned facial hair on his team. While Cincinnati is downright flip with the media, Kentucky regards it with a caution that borders on suspicion. Smith kept his touted freshman class off-limits from interviews until March. [b]After the first-round games, some of Cincinnati's assistant coaches were seen in the wee hours of Friday morning at a thumping downtown Indy club, then taking in a 3 a.m. meal amid a throng of drunks at Steak & Shake. Tubby's bland collection of assistants probably turned in early after milk and cookies.[/b] [b]Huggins is the hard-living anti-establishment type with an outrageous potty mouth. Smith is so square he's divisible by four.[/b] But they share one thing -- a love of physical, tenacious, tough basketball. This game could come down to which team can win the Toughman contest, and to find a way to execute offensively against merciless defense. Regardless of strategy, the fans of both sides know one thing: they're finally going to play again, with huge stakes. Said Hicks. "The game is on the schedule now." I highlighted what I thought were the best quotes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Bunghole| Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 OK, here's my last article, taken from Enquirer.com: On eve of showdown, the insults were flying By Dustin Dow Enquirer staff writer INDIANAPOLIS - The long wait is over. Cincinnati fans get their chance tonight to see if their beloved Bearcats can knock big, bad Kentucky out of the NCAA Tournament. And Kentucky fans are eager to dispose of pesky UC on the way to yet another Sweet 16 appearance. It's more than a matchup between two successful college basketball programs. It's a showdown that fans in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky have been clamoring for since the teams last played more than 14 years ago. The seventh-seeded Bearcats (25-7) face No. 2-seeded Kentucky (26-5) at 8:10 p.m. today at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis. The game was set up by the NCAA Tournament selection committee, which placed both teams in the same quarter of the 64-team bracket announced Sunday night. The teams, separated by roughly 85 miles, haven't played since 1990, making the game one of the most anticipated college basketball games in recent years in a region whose loyalty is generally divided by the Ohio River. Even though CBS moved the game to prime time because of its attraction to a nationwide audience, people outside the area don't realize how much this game means to fans in the region and how polarizing it can be. [b]"The Civil War is still going on in parts of Kentucky," said Hyde Park resident Rick Hiatt, 33, a UC fan. "They hate anything from Ohio, and college basketball is not exempt." "Even (Thursday), sitting in a Mount Lookout watering hole, I could hear the blue-clad patrons rooting against UC. Their animosity is matched only by their arrogance, and I hate to hear it in my back yard."[/b] [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons//30.gif[/img] [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons//30.gif[/img] Further south, say Lexington, there is no debate about which team is the home team. But in Cincinnati, the clash between UK and UC pits friends, co-workers and in some cases family members against each other. "[b]I don't like it," said Andy Furman, host of SportsTalk from 6 to 9 p.m. weeknights on WLW-AM. "It's divisive for the region because of the hatred between the fans coming from both sides. In UK fans' minds, UC has something to prove because UK fans have been, like: 'You can't come up to our throne. You can't touch us.' And then a UC fan calls up and goes right back at them. It has gotten ugly, and I don't think that's good."[/b] [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons//27.gif[/img] [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons//32.gif[/img] Even though the teams don't play each other in the regular season, a rivalry exists here about which team is No. 1 in fans' hearts. In Ohio, there's no question that the Bearcats rule, but cross the Brent Spence Bridge heading south, and suddenly, it's a whole new college-basketball world. "This is Wildcat country," said Major Taylor, 29, of Erlanger, who works at Builders FirstSource in Erlanger, where employees' loyalty is evenly divided between UK and UC. "No it ain't," fired back his older brother Darrell Taylor, 32, of Florence. "Bearcats all the way." The company is a virtual cross-section of the region, except that UC fans and UK fans are all in one place to snap back and forth at each other. They were gathered in the company's conference room this week, royal blue T-shirts clashing with red and black attire. The banter was all in good fun, but it flew passionately from fan to fan, with UK supporters mocking UC's early NCAA Tournament exits. UC rooters needled Kentucky fans by referencing painful memories of Christian Laettner and Eddie Sutton, unmentionables among Kentucky fans who value their team as if it's another family member. [b]"A UK game is the only good reason Kentucky fans have to put in their teeth and put on shoes," said Dave Sharp, an executive account manager of Builders FirstSource wearing a Jason Maxiell jersey[/b]. [b]"Yeah, and if UC fans want to watch a game, they have to put up bail and get out of jail," responded employee Ron Goins, an obvious UK fan.[/b] Johnny Gregory, a UK fan and brother of Darrell and Major Taylor chimed in, "They should print on UC's jerseys: 'There's always next year.' " Darrell doesn't care about next year, and neither does his co-worker Dan Hoffman. They want UC to win today for neighborhood bragging rights. Hoffman lives on a block full of UK fans in Latonia and would like to be able to hang out a UC flag in front of his house after a win today, even though he knows the chances of it staying there aren't good. "A UC win would be terrible for the neighborhood," said Hoffman, who claims his wife switched allegiances from UK to UC to maintain harmony in their relationship. [b]"I'll tell you, though, every time I put a UC flag on the front door, it's gone the next day. I know it's the UK fans doing it."[/b] In Lexington, they understand why Cincinnati is so caught up in making today's game all about a rivalry, but they just don't care as much. Monday, the day after the brackets came out, most talk in Lexington centered on UK's first-round matchup with Eastern Kentucky, coached by former UK player Travis Ford. In Cincinnati, fans immediately fast-forwarded past the first-round games to the dream matchup of UK vs. UC. Outside Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, UK fans would rather not play Cincinnati, Lexington sports radio talk-show host Jim Tirey of WLAP-AM said. "UK fans think there's no advantage to playing UC," Tirey said. "They see this game as more worrisome because of the kind of basketball that will be played, because Cincinnati plays so physical. ... Now, if Cincinnati wins, that might change UK fans' viewpoint that this is more about a rivalry." That's true, said Kris Morgan, a UK fan from Edgewood who said this game is big for the region, "but people in Lexington don't have a clue" about the intensity of the rivalry between UC and UK fans in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. One thing is for sure, Morgan said: Kentucky has far more to lose from today's game than UC. "Part of me is hesitant because we are the favorite," Morgan said. "And if we don't win, it looks really bad." That's what UC fans are hoping for. They'd love nothing more than to embarrass Kentucky on national television while advancing to the Sweet 16 at the same time. Even more high-profile UC fans, such as Cincinnati native Nick Lachey of MTV's "Newlyweds," appreciate the emotional stakes of today's matchup. Kentucky and its fans in the area have been highfalutin in their attitude toward the Bearcats for long enough, Lachey said. Today is payback time. "All of Cincinnati has waited for this game," Lachey said. [b]"They have a certain air about Kentucky basketball where they feel like they're the superior ones in the region.[/b] [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons//27.gif[/img] "I feel like it's our chance to come out on national television and prove they're wrong."

Guest steggyD Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 I finally watched the recording of the UK-EKU game. It wasn't as close as everyone makes it out to be. EKU never tied or got the lead in the second half of the game. They came within 5 points a couple times, but EKU had some very long 3's. UK had a nice comfy lead there and slowed down, but not enough to make me too nervous, but I did know the outcome already. So, the question is, does UC have anyone that can make some long 3's?

Word is that there was a signed contract to play four more games during the 1990s but that Kentucky didn't honor the deal. In the meantime, Kentucky has played 10 home games in Cincinnati -- but none of those games has been against the Bearcats. They've played Ohio, Dayton, Wright State, Kent State, Marshall, Ball State -- even Vanderbilt. But never Cincinnati. "I'm not going to get into a bunch of discussions about what's what," UK coach Tubby Smith said. "We have our schedule, our guidelines and our reasons for scheduling who we schedule. "We get 23,000-plus at Rupp Arena every game. It's not like we need to play them to help our attendance," he added. Bottom line -- UK doesn't want the game, doesn't need the game and will not play the game in the foreseeable future. Smith has no interest in adding the Bearcats to the current non-conference diet of Louisville, Indiana, North Carolina and Kansas. What a fucking pussy !!!! [/quote] It's simple Oldschooler, UC has done nothing to make UK want to schedule them every year. Now if they suddenly start living up to expectations in the tourney then UK might take notice. Winning a mediocre conference and bowing out early in the tourney doesn't make an elite program say" Hey we need to play those guys". That's the thing you and most UC fans don't understand. We are an elite program and you are not. So stop comparing yourself to us and quit acting like we owe you something. Tubby is not a pussy for not scheduling UC. The ownership on that one should fall on UC because of their lack of success. One more thing Oldschooler. If you post ignorant comments about UK then your going to get crap back. I used to let your posts slide and laugh them off until I saw no one giving it back. So I gave it back. Now I'm willing to stop correcting your mistakes if your willing to act like a respectable fan.

Nati Ice Posted March 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 i believe uc and uk are tied with the 2nd longest streak of tourney appearances with 14 or so, uc consistently makes it into the 2nd round and have won the cusa plenty of times uc is a top 25 team every year without any problems, this year was a down year and they were still under 20th, why do u think that uc is not good enough to play the all mighty wildcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you play for UK? Does old REALLY play for UC? We are fans of a team.... we ARE NOT the team itself... That being said... I DO believe the the FANS would like to see a regular match-up of UC vs. UK.. maybe not every year.... but at least every couple of years... i guess maybe UK is afraid... *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
