A little disappointed that some of my favorite Bearcats were not on the poster
commemorating the Shoemaker Center 25th anniversary. It seems to be tilted toward players post 2007. Glad to see that Mel made the cut, but would have liked to see some from Huggins first couple of years. Levertis Robinson, Lou Banks, Andre Tate, and Keith Starks made monumental contributions. From the ninety two team, no Eric Martin, Terry Nelson or Cory Blount. No Damon Flint, Burton, or Long from their era. Pete Michael did not make the list nor did one of my all time favorites Eric Hicks. There are seven/eight that I would have replaced with the players mentioned above. The only person that I will comment about putting on the poster is Mick. How can you include him, but not Bob. I would have put neither on the poster. Make it a celebration of the players. I would like to hear other's thoughts.

Is there a place where we can see said poster?

Not sure, they handed them out after the game Thursday.

25th? The Shoe opened in 1989 when I was still a student. Can't say I'd want that poster with so many glaring omissions from the Hugs era. 01-wingedeagle

I think it's for 25th anniversary of the Final 4 team, not the building. Some people will whine about just anything, including a free poster. There's only so many tickets for this season, so of course some players were gonna be left out.
As far as Cronin vs Huggins, why would I want a commemorative ticket/poster with another school's coach on it? You also want a special football ticket with BK on it?

It commemorates the top performances or "greatest moments" at 5/3 not necessarily the most influential people.

The poster is just the season ticket sheet with a border and the removal of the "Fight to the Finish" motto.

Hopefully they will do a special poster for the '92 season for the UConn game.

It is easy to google photos of any players, make prints and do a custom thing and hang it on your wall.

This is a message board. People come to this board to talk about the Cincinnati Bearcats. It is not whining by pointing out that some Bearcats are left off the poster. If you distinguish some Bearcats, it invites discussion about who should be "left out." Quite frankly, I plan on displaying the poster. I support all the Bearcats, but if we honor some during a time period when other's outperformed them, it is inherently unfair. You may want to reread my post as far as Cronin v. Huggins Put neither on the poster.

It is just a copy of the season tickets, therefore they were a little limited on the number of players they could use.
