We'll see who cares when the cats leave Oxford on the wrong side of the scoreboard this September. The decade-plus joyride against Miami is over.

Miami-Marshall used to a great rivalry when then they were in the MAC, but it went dead for a while. We had a home-and-home during our winless season and the one following, we're starting one up again this fall. Wouldn't mind seeing it relatively often, although with one of four OOC games taken by UC and one with a buy game, it doesn't give us much maneuvering room for scheduling other teams.

What I mean by "caring" is that we are talking about a series that has been played every year since 1888, yet if you talk to a non-alum of either school who lives outside of southwest Ohio they wouldn't even know the two schools have ever played one another. It doesn't help that whenever the game is played in Oxford, it is relegated to ESPN 3.

As for this coming season, it would be nice for you guys to finally win this game after 12 years. The series is getting stale as hell. Tuberville tried the best he could to take UC football to the early 90s, but luckily the university has moved on and the train is back in motion.
