If you want to keep whining about me referring to the Bearcats as small-time, then do so in the context that i used the term, not your own stupid and meaningless context.

You are fighting a losign battle here. You will nto get anyone to agree with you that Cinciannit is a "small time" program compared to anybody. They may not be on the level of the "Big Six" programs, but are generally considered to be in that second tier of programs, whcih includes the likes of Louisville, Michigan State, UConn, Syracuse, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma St, etc, the 7-15 programs. They are most certainly in that area by just about any assessment (save for the ESPN one that mysteriously starts with when Duke became hot again in the mid 80's).

Nope, IMO Cincy is clearly in a tier that would encompass say the 25-40 most recognizable college basketball brands. 7-15 is way too high, they are clearly not in the same league with Syracuse, Uconn, Ohio State, etc.
