Not unlike many Cincinnati heroes before him (Pete Rose, Bob Huggins, Harry Black - why would you hire anybody from the cess pool known as Baltimore????, etc.), Mick is his own worst enemy, and most likely, he's never going to change. Is it a Napolean complex? Is it his arrogance? Is he self-compensating about his divorce? Is it because he is so thin skinned? Etc. I'm not a psychiatrist, only a basketball fan. It's hard to pull for a guy who seems so out of touch; bush league move to bring up illness after a loss instead of after the Georgia State win.
Unlike other fans, I'm not going to quit. I've been down this road of disappointment before, and probably will be a traveler on it again.
But like one poster said before, I won't jump off the UC bandwagon and root for an established team. That's too easy. The Sugar Bowl year was the greatest 16 week stretch of my life, and will cherish that for the rest of my life.
p.s. I can't believe all the grief I took when I said this team was overrated, the metrics didn't pass the smell test, I didn't like Mick's side line rants and preferred he would coach, etc. Of course, most of those critics have quit on the Cats, so I guess it was worth it in the end.
Marcuscan and I both called it early. I kept silent for most of the season, because I didn't want to burst the bubble of those who wanted to believe. Does anyone have a cogent argument to make that next year will be better? Or are we just going to load the board up with more posts whining and bitching about how UK, OSU, U of L, and even little 'ol Xavier are a bunch of big, nasty cheaters who don't do things "the right way," like Mick?

Ahhhh well, we'll be alright. We'll win 20 games, maaaaaybe win the conference, likely not win the conference tournament, and flame out in the big dance. Business as usual.

Yep, that’s who this program is. Good not great. Done on the first weekend, not the second, or God forbid, the third.
Next year is going to be a struggle, which is one of the reason's why this result is so disheartening. We will lose Gary, Kyle and likely Jacob Evans. Our frontcourt will consist of Trevon Scott, Nysier Brooks, Eli and Mamadou.... that front court will struggle to score. The team will likely mirror the 2012 team where SK did all the scoring and had guys like Titus Rubles, Mbodj, Justin Jackson, Shaq Thomas, etc. contributing 4-5 points a game.
That team finished 22-12 btw.
