Personally I care less about the NFL and the Bengals now than I ever did. My peak interest was in late 80’s and 1990’s. Once again in 2005 through 2009 was interesting.

The NFL I loved was Tecmo Super Bowl, NFL Street, NFL Primerime, sketchy TV feeds at sports bar, starter jackets, Logo Athletic hats, Boomer, Shake n Blake, Cowboys v 49ers, old school Super Bowl ads, and rules you could actually understand.

With the exception of most communities in the South and Oklahoma/Texas, and in places like Columbus, Ann Arbor and Happy Valley, college football is mostly followed by alums/students and family of a particular university. The NFL is followed by everyone-- man, woman, young, old, white collar, blue collar, etc.

UC FB needs to tap more into the demographic that falls outside of our norm. We need more t-shirt fans-- people that didn't go to college or maybe who attended NKU, Thomas Moore, Miami, Wright State, etc. Many of them already follow UC hoops.

Correct - schools that don't have D1 football programs.

Why not put adds in those student papers offering half priced tickets with a student ID?

The ad in the Xavier paper could say "Tired of seeing ugly college students? Go to a UC game!"
