Anyway if Miami no longer has a chance is it a rivalry.

You think about Miami more than their alums and students do.

If the playoff gets delayed to accommodate Ohio State, we should throw a Miami game onto the schedule. Our last off year was for WWII.

Can you troll a fan base that has no fans?

Nah. Bludgeoning Miami does nothing for us except put our players at risk for injury and COVID exposure. Same reason I'm not upset about the Temple game being canceled.

Thanks I did not know no WWII games.

As a Miami grad, I can confirm this.

i understand reasons for changing or even eliminating this game, but personally i will never tire of beating them!

Now that we no longer have that slogan, my vote is to ditch it. There are about 5 other teams within 100 miles I'd try to get scheduled before Miami. They will always be there if those teams say no. I'd much rather play any of UK, UofL, OSU, Pitt, IU, Purdue, MSU, Michigan, OU, etc etc before Miami. I know we have Pitt and IU on the upcoming schedule.

I personally like the Miami game. Its the only trophy game we have left, and it is a road game 45 minutes away. I think we are much better than they are, but Martin has made them into a respectable MAC team. I don't see the benefit of ditching this series just to schedule a home and home with Akron, Kent, Directional Michigan, or random Conference USA opponents.

Sure you might luck out by getting a win over one of the better Conference USA or Sun Belt teams, but you also might end up playing one who hurts our SoS even more than Miami.

I like the tradition. That’s part of CFB.

The bold won't play at Nippert. We also have BC and NC State as home and return games. Arkansas in on the future schedule, not sure if they are coming to Nippert?

Arkansas was a one off road game.

Bummer, you recall what they are paying us Mark?

Keep the game but two at Nip and one in Oxford. PBS makes no sense since Miami does not bring enough fans.

I didn't actually recall exactly, but according to this its 1.5 million which is close to what I remembered. https://fbschedules.com/arkansas-to-open...incinnati/

I'd add Northwestern, Illinois, and Virginia Tech to the list of schools I'd like to see us play around here. I think all would be willing, seeing as how two already have done so.

I actually think the game should coincide with Oktoberfest every year or at least once every 2 or 3 and played at PBS for easy access to both. We had that happen when Nippert was getting renovated and it was a really good atmosphere.

As for the series itself I think it should continue as is. As mentioned above, it's our only trophy rivalry, it's a good warm up game and there's still 3 other out of conference games to fill with other regional teams.

This is pretty much how I feel too. It's more interesting still than any FCS opponent or most random MAC schools that have little connection to our tri-state region. It's not like P5 schools, good or bad, are lining up to visit Nippert. In fact, given the current state of IL and Purdue football, I seriously doubt either would want to return for another series given Cincy's considerable home field advantage and current competitive position. Would either want a beat down in the heart of B10 recruiting country?
