Bearcats vs. Fordham in FB - eroc - 03-26-2012 01:00 PM Since i can't find the original FB schedule thread: Quote:Fordham replaces TCU on UC football schedule http://cincinnati.com/blogs/uc/2012/03/26/fordham-replaces-tcu-on-uc-football-schedule/ RE: Bearcats vs. Fordham in FB - CD11 - 03-26-2012 01:01 PM Alright then. 7-5 for bowl eligibility. Quote: The Bearcats will open the season on either Sept. 6 or Sept. 8 at home against a Big East opponent, possibly in a national ESPN game. The Big East is expected to announce its schedule this week. Dammit.

Don't expect anyone had BSpn to overlook this fact either if the Bearcats have any success. Apparently all cupcake games are not created equal. RE: Bearcats vs. Fordham in FB - Ring of Black - 03-26-2012 01:15 PM I'm not getting upset about this one... at least we have a schedule. RE: Bearcats vs. Fordham in FB - bearcatmark - 03-26-2012 01:15 PM I have not missed a home game since 2003, but Any other year I might not attend the two UC games against FBS teams as a protest, but honestly this was pretty unavoidable. Teams leaving, OSU dropping, TCU never joining, etc... UC just got put in a bad situations. Sucks, but so be it. RE: Bearcats vs. Fordham in FB - cinbinsportsfan - 03-26-2012 01:15 PM Crap. Can't believe we couldn't get an FBS school scheduled. RE: Bearcats vs. Fordham in FB - Racinejake - 03-26-2012 01:19 PM (03-26-2012 01:15 PM)cinbinsportsfan Wrote: Crap. Can't believe we couldn't get an FBS school scheduled. I think they are all scheduled except for maybe the MAC schools now that Temple left? I agree this stinks but it sounds like the AD is committed to making this only a one time event. Some other BCS schools have purposefully scheduled two 1-AA teams in the same year in the past. What I took away from that article is that we apparently have a bye the first weekend? Not good because those bye weeks come in handy during the year when guys are banged up.

Can't believe we couldn't get an FBS school scheduled. More important (IMO) would be to have a tune-up game prior to opening with a BE opponent. Since we won't have that, it'll make a big difference. RE: Bearcats vs. Fordham in FB - Ragpicker - 03-26-2012 01:23 PM Probably will be Pitt at home to open the season. I believe that they are the only BE school with an opening that week. RE: Bearcats vs. Fordham in FB - SuperFlyBCat - 03-26-2012 01:29 PM UC was put into a very difficult position losing WVU and TCU on the schedule. Scheduling, with an expanded big east, will be much easier.

Can't believe we couldn't get an FBS school scheduled. There were a slew of schools open including I believe Middle Tennessee State, Houston, and Louisiana-Lafayette. Ideally I would have liked Missouri but they just signed a series with Syracuse. RE: Bearcats vs. Fordham in FB - cinbinsportsfan - 03-26-2012 01:58 PM Oh by the way, UC will probably play a Big East school really early in the season during the week of 9/8 or 9/22 (or both). I wonder if it will be Pitt, at least, as Rag has stated. RE: Bearcats vs. Fordham in FB - Bearcat2012 - 03-26-2012 02:02 PM So at Nippert ..7 games .. 1 against a team with a winning record last year . home Fordham (1-10) FCS Delaware St (3-8) FCS Miami Oh (4-8) Pitt (6-7) Syracuse (5-7) Rutgers (9-4) USF (5-7) "neutral" site Virginia Tech (11-3) road Toledo (9-4) UConn (5-7) Louisville (7-6) Temple (9-4) We best sweep those home games . RE: Bearcats vs. Fordham in FB - bearcatmark - 03-26-2012 02:04 PM Not exactly a really desirable home slate is it? RE: Bearcats vs. Fordham in FB - Ragpicker - 03-26-2012 02:04 PM Big supporter of the new AD and what he is trying to do and what he got stuck with, but it would nice if we had some more transparency as to how this schedule was put together. Why were neither of the FCS schools scheduled to be the season opener? Now we will have to play Pitt who will already have a tune up game. If Delaware State nor Fordham could play Sept. 1 then we should have found someone else to take our $500,000. Why did we not act immediately when TCU announced that they were leaving the Big East? Other schools were able to schedule FBS teams quickly but UC seemed to wait until all the girls at the dance were picked. Since we all read that the athletic coffers are so thin, why did we not agree to a $1 million payout game at somewhere like Nebraska (they were looking for a game)? Is CBJ that concerned with the 2012 Cats that he would rather not take on another challenge on the road? And the most important question, why does Bill Koch not ask these types of questions?

Toledo, Louisville, Va Tech, UConn, and Rutgers all scare me on that schedule.

Two FCS schools and three teams that played in the MAC last season. Yipppeeee! We will have to go 7-5 to be Bowl eligible. If we don't go 9-3 with this schedule we should be ashamed. |
