SMU: first impression? Smart. They will defend "the Godfather" to their graves. Happy to be in the spotlight. Mostly positive despite all the setbacks thrown their way.

Temple: Another knowledgeable fanbase. They love to talk about the Big 5, although few outside philly know what that is. About 70/30 on keep Fran / Fire Fran.

Tulsa: Small. Also found it odd that they are quick to fire Haith if any Mizzou baggage comes into their university. Most schools would say wins over everything.

UConn: The funniest of all fanbases. Watching them trade quips on Boneyard is pure gold. Instead of turning bitter like Cincy regarding the AAC, they find humor wherever possible.

Memphis: Their csnbbs board is on fire right now. They are also the most passionate fanbase in the AAC by far. They believe they are sending a message by "only" selling 11,000 seats to their bball games...think about that.... Also, angry...so angry. 90/10 believe Pastner must go, and im not convinced that the 10% who support "JP" are not just trolls trying to spark a backlash.

Cincy: Obsessed with conference re-alignment and bitter. They know their days in the football limelight are over. The most negative fans in the conference (I'm an alum of Cincy and a diehard btw). Had to delete my Twitter because the negative spewing was SO strong.

Houston: They like to trash talk other teams more than any other fanbase so far. They are oblivious that they have a basketball program and need to get on board imo...KS will have them in NCAA/NIT next season.

I don't know what school you really pull for, but you're no UC fan.

I also think there are a ton of bitter UC fans, but they seem to congregate on the Bearcat Banter Board. As has been mentioned in the past, if you want to see sunshine and rainbows, head over the Carson Field Board on 247. There's always a ray of light at the end of their tunnel.

I do think one quirk of Cincinnati's personality is that there is a large segment of the population that isn't happy unless they're unhappy and complaining about something. I personally think the epicenter of this is the west side - where the past is always more glorious than the present - but it is seen throughout the metropolis. I also think the daily spew of WLW to which many are addicted adds fuel to the fire.

In UC's fans' defense, this ride has been kind of exhausting. We keep hearing we are next in line even though there's nothing truly substantive to confirm that this is even the case. We can easily be left on the outside looking in...so if you think you see bitter now...

I think that's just all of Ohio.

Native Cincinnatians don't consider themselves as part of Ohio. I say that half-seriously. I grew up considering myself a Cincinnatian first, and this Ohio thing kind of just happened. I feel little connection to the rest of the state.

Lol no mention of the other AAC teams. I guess we don't exist. Perfect example...lol

Don't agree with all of your post but your last paragraph is spot on. It has been a rough ride for UC fans for several years. You can probably take it back to 2009 when Kelly left for Notre Dame. He really had people believing he was going to stay. When Pitt, Syracuse and WVU announced they were leaving in 2011 it was a major kick in the crotch. Fast forward another year or so and we get word there was s possibility the ACC was going to take UC, UConn and Louisville. I still remember when they only took Louisville how dejected then AD Whit Babcock was on a radio interview. Shortly there after both he and Butch Jones left to go to power conference schools. Then Bohn gets hired and he announces at the pressed he was tasked to get UC in a power conference.... We have been playing footies with the Big Twelve now for the past two years. Bearcat fans are exhausted. Excuse us for being a little bitter.

They? Interesting comment from a supposed UC fan. Hmmm.....how are things over on Victory Parkway?

The whole SMU and NC penalties (or lack thereof) show that it absolutely pays to cheat. I know everyone does. But some are actually afraid of getting found out so they do not challenge the big programs by offering bigger bribes to the biggest names in AAu or recruits directly.

It REALLY helps turn around poor programs and helps keep the blue bloods on top.

Id don't think he would say nice things about boneyard. I am a huge ECU fan, I feel intimated to post there, they have a group that feels entitled on that board. Rude, negative, and just I don't know off putting, I imagine many fans stay away for same reason. Arguments on there sometimes seem to get personal. Our fan base as a whole in my opinion is pretty good.

Fran needs to go!

i dont agree wit this at all....we almost never trash talk in our space..not unless you are referencing other p5 texas school, whic for some reason our fanbase loves to trash talk

we almost never trash talk anyone else....

my opinion of our fanbase is we have HUGE egos, we think we are betterbigger than we actually are....

are bball fanbase has an unrealistic expectations and the general area/city isnt knowledgeable about college bball and the dynamics

when we lost to grand canyon (who is currently 18-2), despite UH still being 9-2 at the time our fanbase had a huge meltdown like we lost to a down 320rpi team and half our then growing fanbase abandoned the team....IMO they see everything through football eyes..."non-name brand teams arent good and losing to one of them is the end of the season"..they dont see that in basketball you dont need brand to be good & losing to a good team for 1 game doesn't kill a season

I don't know what school you really pull for, but you're no UC fan.

I also think there are a ton of bitter UC fans, but they seem to congregate on the Bearcat Banter Board. As has been mentioned in the past, if you want to see sunshine and rainbows, head over the Carson Field Board on 247. There's always a ray of light at the end of their tunnel.

I think that's just all of Ohio.

Native Cincinnatians don't consider themselves as part of Ohio. I say that half-seriously. I grew up considering myself a Cincinnatian first, and this Ohio thing kind of just happened. I feel little connection to the rest of the state.

This

A person from Cincy who is travelling and is asked "Where are you from?" will answer, "Cincinnati".

A person from Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Toledo, Akron or anywhere elae in the state, when travelling and asked the same question will answer, "Ohio".

Thats the difference and is also why UC and XU are immensly more popular inside the 275 loop than tO$U.

Many Tulsa fans stay over on the Rivals boards... but generally, yeah, we are small. (but mighty!)

That's understandable for most Memphis fans as the city has almost nothing in common with the vast majority of TN.

This is turning into some weird witch-hunt. I am who I am. A UC grad who is exhausted with caring about this conference and caring about college sports in general quite frankly. I really did delete Twitter after the first Temple loss, not knowing it would actually get worse from there lol (@Creid85 if you are interested).

Not a Xavier fan, although it must be a nice life about now, quite frankly. Now we get to play the roll of scrappy little brother from a low-major, one-bid conference. So, that's.....fun

You don't have a nice thing to say about "your own" program and say this: "They know their days in the football limelight are over." You can see where someone might be confused.
