No they are getting clicks that's all that matters.

I'm impressed though. They have gone from 4% to 11% since I mentioned it about an hour ago.

More Cincy votes needed!

With a fan like you we don't need enemies. Fool!

You guys better call up your #1 fan and tell him to start voting!!

It's a poll for B12 Expansion candidates in the Dallas paper...right now UC is #2, neck in neck with BYU

I PERSONALLY think it would suck to play in a conference that is 1 hour time zone different than us. More inconvenience for the fans to travel or even watch on tv during the week. I don't see it as a good thing. I'd rather see better teams joining the AAC or we get an ACC bid. I know it's probably a better thing for the school money-wise but just don't like it as a fan. Just sayin'

I agree and have been saying that since WV moved. Don't think it's a good fit but understand the financial aspect. Hope we have an alternative.

^^^^

I agree as well. You guys should not be burdened with moving to the Big 12. I mean look at how far it is to go to an away game. There must be something better for this storied program. The A10 maybe.

Thanks for your insight.

A$$hat.

Funny. Better start hiking those Fedex rates. You're gonna need all the cash you can get to buy some new friends. The ones you have now hate you.

That was good, right? I'm just trollin around. I'll be on here for a little bit. Hope not any longer than the end of bowl season when the actual insiders will know it's done.

Meanwhile don't take offense to something I might say regarding Oscar or Huggins or whomever. I hate you guys and I hate Nick Lashea. Just razzin ya. Just want you guys and Louisville to feel a little bit of that nose turned up at you, feeling. But you won't, Cause your awesome and Louisville is just a little bit Awesomer. It's cool.

And I know for a fact your whole fan base is going to recognize what a blessing it was that ya'll got left out of the ACC.

Who is UC's friend? Who's going to bail you out of this mess if the B XII doesn't work out?

I'm posting real quick here again to say. Love your city. Beautiful downtown. To much work on the bridges lately, but I know they need it. Love the practice field for the Bengals right there in your face even though I hear the team hates it. And I really like some of your music venues around town.

My point that I'm getting to is... If this Smoke that we all think is a fire ends up being Memphis and UC. I'd like to make a no s*^t bet if there were any takers. Like I said I travel through Cincy pretty regularly. If there was a possible taker just let me know you got your listners on. lol

Good to see that grammar is alive and well in Memphis.

Sure about that?

My guess is that is the same thing that runs through every tethered dog's brain as they sprint off...

Please feel free to join in and add to conversation. But if you want to talk smack you best do it on the smack board or you will quickly discover your "collar".

We have some valued posters from other programs, some even talk some smack once in a while. Its all good. But just note, even on the smack board it is wise to add something other than just that which we will find t "tiresome". If you are going to go in the "pure troll" direction you better at least be funny. (In other words, up your game). We give a longer leash to trolls who entertain us.

Still bitter at being left out of the BE. Man get over it.

Memphis was a nice place to visit to win the Liberty Bowl but no one wants to live there. Isn't Memphis just behind Chicago as a murder city? Admittedly a great place for the Blues. Anyone living there has reasons to be blue.

One of the greatest lines I've seen in any forum ever....

Wow, I'm amazed...Memphis has one mediocre season of football and you would think they invented the game and are some perennial powerhouse?!?! Let's face it...Memphis was never part of the expansion conversation. It was just over the past week or two that they have even entered into it and I still don't think it's going to happen.

We (UC) have more and offer way more to any conference than Memphis ever could. If a conference was only interested in stadium seating and arena seating, then Memphis may have a shot with the Liberty Bowl and the Pyramid (but we always have PBS (70K) which is bigger and nicer than the Liberty Bowl in our backyard and at our disposal)...but that is probably 1/20th of the equation and outside of that and the so called Fed-Ex $$$ (whatever the hell that theory is) they offer little to nothing. Our on campus facilities are improving and are going to be way better within the next few years. The ACC took Pitt a few years ago, and we owned them the majority of the time in football. Pitt doesn't have it's own stadium, they play at Heinz field...so anyone standing on those theories and criteria; are severely flawed! Pitt had the tradition, footprint, university standing, athletic budget, location and national perception that the ACC was looking for.

I'm glad Memphis had a good season and "yes" Memphis beat us this year...but if one year or the current year defines a program then watch out cause Marshall, CSU and Boise St are ahead of Memphis and UC. We have 2 BCS bowls, numerous Big East Championships and now a shared AAC championship, in 5 out of the past 7 years...I think and know that national perception and anyone with half a brain knows UC is light years ahead of Memphis in football and on equal or better ground in basketball.

If the criteria is TV money, geographic footprint and market then again UC is WAY ahead of Memphis. We have already shown the endowments, national university rankings, research, etc. UC obliterates Memphis! If a travel partner is what WV is hoping for, than I guarantee that WV has pushed for us and not brought Memphis into the convo. I could argue that UCF or USF bring more to the table than does Memphis and should be in line numerous spots ahead of Memphis, as I would be really happy for Memphis to get a spot in a P5 conference; but it will not and should not happen ahead of UC though. If BYU played games on Sundays, then they would be a no brainer for the Big12. How many league football championships has Memphis won, outside of this year?!?

Now let me post for you where Memphis falls and where the state of TN falls as compared to Cincinnati and Ohio.


The 381 Metropolitan Statistical Areas of the United States of America

Rank Metropolitan Statistical Area 2013 Estimate 2010 Census Change Encompassing Combined Statistical Area

28 Cincinnati, OH-KY-IN Metropolitan Statistical Area 2,137,406 2,114,580 +1.08% Cincinnati-Wilmington-Maysville, OH-KY-IN Combined Statistical Area

41 Memphis, TN-MS-AR Metropolitan Statistical Area 1,341,746 1,324,829 +1.28% Memphis-Forrest City, TN-MS-AR Combined Statistical Area


Now add in in the Dayton area, which the Cincinnati and Dayton areas are slowly merging...that adds an additional 802,000.

Ohio population and conversely TV sets compared to TN...

TN = Housing units, 2013 2,840,914
OH = Housing units, 2013 5,123,997

I'm just saying, if you're gonna come here and talk smack, then maybe you should be armed with insider knowledge and be able to share that and back it up. Otherwise, stop trolling and realize you are poking a bear that is way bigger and has way more credentials than Memphis could dream up in 10 years (kind of like us going onto an Alabama board and talking gibberish). If you are coming to a gun fight...you should probably bring more than a rib bone you pulled out of the dumpster you are living in.

If Memphis gets into any P5 conference ahead of UC...then I will eat crow...alive or dead.

Line of the day - " If you are coming to a gun fight...you should probably bring more than a rib bone you pulled out of the dumpster you are living in."
