Thank You!
Just wanted to take a moment and thank some UC fans for the chuckle.

Its an annual event to listen to the the hand wringing and moaning from some UC fans after the brackets are announced, and to those I am speaking to, you know who you are.

And You didn't disappoint again this year!

No matter what we are seeded and no matter who we play you can always guarantee that some UC fans will say one or more of the following:

1. Claim our seeding is wrong (too high or too low) just to screw us
2. Claim our first round opponent is seeded poorly on purpose (just to screw us)
3. Claim our second round opponent is really the best team in the tourney and we were purposefully matched up with them because once again, there is a conspiracy to screw UC in the ncaa tourney.

And this year we have a new edition to the family:
4. Mick's whining caused the Cats to be screwed in the ncaa seeding/pairings

Welcome to the lineup #4! I'm sure we will see you annually now!

Sadly, we did have a miss this year:
I didn't see any comments centered around an XU rep or an Ohio State rep who sits on the selection board and is the mastermind behind screwing UC in the seedings/pairings. That one is my favorite of all time and doggonit, you missed it this time around. There's always next year though.


go Cats....SMH

And on cue we get the smug "Look at all the whining post".

Thanks! It would not be complete here without it.

It's not that they're out to get us it's just that we are a second class citizen.

Not only underseeded (which I could understand), playing a team that is also underseeded, but also shipped way further away than any other top 25 team, making it extremely difficult for our fans to travel with the team.

It's like last season when guys on here was crying about playing Oregon in the 2nd round but forgot about the first round game. When UC lost to st.joes guys started crying about the refs and mick.

And equally, things would not have been complete around here had we not had the paranoid delusions of some fans who think there is a vast ncaa conspiracy against UC....

RE: Thank You!
I'm with you Bearcats #1... the everyone is out to get UC nonsense around here always makes me laugh. It's been going on forever. It was either Mick's first or second year in the tournament when we drew a Missouri team that had to force turnovers to win and we were a team that took great care of the basketball and people here were talking about what a terrible draw they were. They were almost the perfect team for that UC team to play and UC took care of business but everyone acted like the committee was trying to screw UC.

Like all tournament teams UC has had good draws and bad draws. This year I'd describe as in between. I think we probably will have the most difficult first round opponent of the 11 seeds, but I think UCLA is the kind of team that could struggle in the tournament and not as strong a 3 seed as many believe. I think UC matches up pretty well with them as well. It is what it is. When you make the tournament you have to play good teams. Lets take care of business on Friday and then Sunday could be pretty fun.

Hey, it's a sports fan's job to b!tch. For example, does anyone find it amusing how in one moment a Cincinnati fan(or sports writer) is whining about how the Reds suck because they gave too many big contracts to fan favorites and now they're stuck overpaying a lot of injured and aging players, while in the next breath attack the Bengals because they let a 35 year old OT walk rather than overpay to keep him after they drafted tackles #1 and #2 two years ago in anticipation of this possibly happening.

Right on Jackie Treehorn. We all forget fan is short for FANATIC, it's what we are supposed to do.

How many on here predicted anything below a 5 seed? I may be wrong, but I don't think there were any. Mostly it was a debate between 4 and 5 - one person thought a 3 seed - but did anyone think a 6 was coming down the pike?

Most fans think their team, their school is better than it actually is, so when reality slaps them upside the head they are going to complain. It's like the two posters above said, it's what fans do.

One thing for certain, looking at our draw compared to Smu's, we have no reason to be unhappy if they are the benchmark. Clearly winning the tourney gave them nothing at all.

Losing a ton of games in a row didn't hurt X either. I'd switch seeds and draws with them in a second.

It's not that they're out to get us it's just that we are a second class citizen.

Not only underseeded (which I could understand), playing a team that is also underseeded, but also shipped way further away than any other top 25 team, making it extremely difficult for our fans to travel with the team.

UC is a second class citizen only if it accepts that role. The quickest way to dispel any such notions of our inferiority is to win. The more P5s we beat, the more enhanced will be our reputation. Simple as that...
