The top of the conference is really down this year. Hopefully Wichita can do their normal thing in March and carry the conference torch.

You guys had that one big run in the 2nd half, otherwise it would have been a complete and total asswhupping. Deal with it.

Yeah those 18-0 runs are just so hard to stop aren't they

Cincy fans take losing well.

He was fouled but they didn't call it because Lomax was raped right before it by three guys. You guys saw the fouls against you and refuse to see the fouls on us. Game was a joke. All Cincy games are a joke. They turn every game into a brawl. The young dudes from Memphis didn't back down.

Not sure if you noticed, but Memphis is the team trying to muck up the game this year. They are awful on the offensive end and great on defense this year. Not sure why you are trying to say that turning games into physical brawls is UCs thing this year, because that's the opposite of what we want to do under Brannen.

I read an entire thread during football season where tiger fans complained about losing to Temple, complained about the refs, made excuses for why they lost, whined about their stadium, etc. And that was the only game they lost during the regular season.

So I'd go easy there glass house.

We lost to Temple by a couple points and that call kept us from running the clock down, kicking a FG and winning the game. You guys lost by 11 and got a garbage 3 at the end to cut it to that. 1 call didn’t cause you to lose the game.

It’s been a theme lately.

Has it? That’s the first time the Tigers have beaten UC in 4 (!!!!) years.

Was that before or after the Tigers defeated UC the last 4 matchups in FB?

That's been, what 6 years total now since 2014 we've owned Cincy in football? 41-14 Tigers, and we're still eating Bearcats for Breakfast in FB.

Now Tiger Basketball is back.

Remind us again what you were bragging about this said 4 years with 4 exclamation marks you speak of?

You guys have gotten us home and away every year for 4 years, got an extra shot at us on a neutral court, and didn't win once. I was disputing the comment that it was somehow a trend.

I thought he was referring to our basketball series (reasonable assumption in a b-ball thread I thought). You guys certainly have had our number in football, but it's a bit different in that we haven't played every year, and Memphis hasn't visited nippert in 4 years either.

I agree that every fan base has those folks. That's why I thought it was funny that one group would try and call out another.

The bearcats have been beating our butts as long as I can remember. Allow us a moment to bask in the glory of a rare win. Not only a win, but a "we out physicaled the the most physical team we usually play every year" win.

kthnxbye

Most Tiger fans believe the blown call was just one of the factors leading to the Tiger defeat. Other factors included four turnovers and Temple’s quality. By contrast, some Cincy posters assign the blame for their defeat solely on the officiating which was of poor quality for both teams.

Hi there, Tigers and Bearcats. Owls fan here. For the record, many, many more Cincinnati fans cried for way longer and much harder about their 2018 football loss to Temple than Memphis fans have about 2019. It’s not even close. Bearcats are way worse losers than Tigers. Thanks and back to your show.

So, by your own admission with the bolded above, some Tiger fans believe that call entirely cost them the game, and that also only some UC posters are pinning the loss solely on the officials. Hmm, seems like a pretty similar situation.

If you need more evidence, I can link you to last year's thread of the game at FedEx, where Memphis fans complained for days about Jarron Cumberland getting all the calls.

I truly didn't think pointing out that the Memphis fanbase also being prone to unchecked complaints about officiating was a hot take, but apparently it was a spicy one.

Dude, as in most fan bases, SOME Tiger fans are complete idiots.

Refs can’t and don’t decide games. They didn’t decided Memphis losing to Temple last year, and they didn’t decide Memphis beating Cincinnati yesterday. That’s why you have to play the full game and not count on the refs impacting it positively or negatively for you. They impact certain points of the game, but the game hinges upon how well or how poor you play. You have to overcome obstacles during play.

We are in complete agreement. I'm trying to make that point to a couple of the fellow Memphis posters on here. I didn't realize it was so controversial.

Well this thread has certainly become quite the ****show.

Congratulations to Memphis on the win.

I agree. The officials were awful last night, but it wasn't like it was so one sided as to decide the game. Memphis just played a lot better. Tre Scott was atrocious for us last night and we aren't going to be able to win without him being at least passable. Between that and the complete lack of production from the bench, we had no shot to win on the road. We just need to play better.
