Re: 2010 UC Football

I don't think UC is taking shots downfield because the O-line can't protect Collaros.

BK is to blame for the poor recruiting in some areas, agree 100%. But the pathetic offense and play calling is all Jones.
Certainly the blame can be spread. I'm just saying judging jones so far might not be the fairest of things. Expectations were probably set high in most of our minds. I hate seeing some crap this team is doing, but its really really early to know what we are dealing with.

Re: 2010 UC Football

UC doesn't have the tradition to sustain a down year. This could be a total disaster for the Athletic department. They are already in crisis budget mode and has anyone looked at the UC basketball roster yet? They wouldn't be the best team in the MAC.

Not pretty.

Re: 2010 UC Football

Based on what I've seen, UC is the worst team in the Big East. Only UofL and Rutgers are even in the conversation with them.

They had down years before they won back to back big east titles just saying.

Re: 2010 UC Football

UC gives up consecutive sacks. Then a mental mistake negates the 1st down.

Maybe Cronin can teach Butch how to say, "We're young" 40,000 times in a press conference.

Through a massive, wholly unprecedented funding effort. And now the athletic department is essentially broke. Can't win in big time football and basketball without money. One thing we know about Cincinnati sports fans is, they're fickle. Reds are good, Bengals are respectable...if UC's not a BCS threat the sports money will shift.

Re: 2010 UC Football

So does UC win five games this year?

I'd say 6-6.

We are going to get destroyed by Oklahoma. With this awesome defense, they will put 60 points on the board with ease.

No doubt but the doomsday stuff right now is a little over stated. No doubt there is reasons to worry and its fine, but 1 year isnt going to kill them. It certainly would hurt.

Re: 2010 UC Football

I guess I've been spoiled the past couple of years, but I thought we would be a lot better than this even with a new coach.

So many mistakes, almost as if they're not prepared for games. Missed tackles everywhere...there have been a lotta clean whiffs. Its looking like a down year, but hey, we've yet to play a conference game so who knows. From what I've seen so far though, they're not ready to beat any decent team. Bummer.

Re: 2010 UC Football

At least the Big East is down overall this year. It's just that this team has given no reason tonight to be optimistic about salvaging this season.

Re: 2010 UC Football

And as evidence of the above post, UC gets stuffed on 3rd and 1. And then again on 4th and 1.

Game over.
