How does playing in a "brutal Big East' have any bearing on the Cross Town Showdown? If anything, I would think we would have been better prepared but Mick consistently played it down, pretending it wasn't a big deal. Maybe not to him, but to the fans it was a VERY big deal and he crapped the bed more often than not.

Your contention that "under less difficult circumstances that would make his record 6-7" is laughable and further proof that you are an apologist.

I'm a UC fan who obviously expects a higher level of success than you and many others here. I refuse to compromise my standards. Hopefully when I become sufficiently frustrated that I bail on my season tix you will step up.

You don't want to be labeled and yet you label others. You criticize others and yet you don't want to be criticized for your views. Maybe your standards are too high for your own good but quit acting like Mick hasn't done anything for UC. Could he do better? Of course. He just won a regular season conference championship outright and the conference tournament and yet you're stuck in contempt over his record against our arch-rival that puts him just a few series wins below Huggs. If you're frustrated like a house wife over the situation with Mick then bail on your season tickets and quit acting like it gives you some special recognition or power. I live in North Carolina dude so buying season tickets won't work for me. I gave my university tens of thousands of dollars in my undergrad education and I don't need to show my athletics loyalty in buying season tickets.

Paying your tuition is hardly giving UC support. Hopefully you got a valuable education. Being out of town of course means buying season tickets is not feasible, but donations can be made.

My point was, it doesn't make my opinion any less or more than anyone else's just because I don't have season tickets. If someone feels they've earned the right to gripe because they have season tickets and wave it around like a banner then I can certainly say I've more than earned my opinion as someone who lived on campus and lived in Cincinnati for 6 years of my life. I spent my money on a lot of things in Clifton over those years that didn't include sports. I have also made some donations over the years in addition to attending spot basketball and football games. Whatever.
