Quo I do not pretend nor have I said we are first tier....that would be limited to a few schools: duke, uk, unc, ucla, ku

I'm taking issue with your use of "small time" and UC and also crafting a picture that OSU won't play us because we are "small time"...that's bs. We were much larger than OSU during Huggins time, for most of Huggins tenture at UC, UC was ranked and OSU was not...therefore to say OSU had nothing to gain by playing UC is simply not true. If anything we had nothing to gain by playing them during this time...we were bringing in highly rated classes, they were not. We were ranked, they were not, we made the tourney every year, they did not. Reality is, and to MY POINT: they were SCARED.



also it's cincinnati not cincinatti
