Just for fun cause this week is way too long. Saturday is a huge game for us. This is our one shot at X and their one shot at us. This will be our Cincy style game while GW will be a lot like Memphis or UL.

wow those guys are ****y with how good their team really is. Do they not realize that charlotte isn’t the same team they were at the beginning of the season. they have a guy on that board that said something along the lines of we shut down st. joes so we will shut down charlotte. Xavier by 8 is what they are all saying. They will be in a rude awakening when we show up to play and drop another 50% from the field and 60% behind the arc game. maybe even an 80% percent from the line. just get leemire and curt to drive the lane a lot. get the fouls up on their small team and we will see who is victorious at the final horn.
i think xavier is going to be our future rivals because they have talked a lot of shit and they are overconfident. some of their fans think they are going to go undefeated in conference play. lets start their losing streak this weekend niners.
If they need to know something they could ask the Bearcats and see how easy to win at Halton. All I know is they better have more than 3 guns to blast us. Lee, DA, Mitch, Bennett and Curt sometimes can surprise from beyond the arc, too. What a bunch of morons!
wait you forgot about nance. THE BANK IS OPEN BABY. that was a hideous shot until i heard him scream bank in mid shot. i was like oh no he didn’t. It just kissed the glass. the rest is history.
i wonder if cinci/xavier fans have taken a look at their city recently. its one of the ugliest cities in the world honestly. i think it would be more sanitary to live in a box on the side of the interstate.
i was there for the 2003-2004 tournament. I was asked by a few guys if i had smack and or crack when i was walking around the city. There is a point if you go up 5 or 6 street blocks from US Bank arena it goes from some what nice to complete crap without even a blink of an eye. The entire city is bland. Their homes are like crazy tiny and really tall at the same time. They have bizarre and confusing interstates from what i remember. It was really easy for you to get lost. The one thing i will say that impressed me about cincy was the skyline chili. If you want to taste some good chili get you some skyline its phenominal. i don’t like the river the stadiums are beside. When we drove by it was completely brown and had like tired and random crap floating in it. it looked horrid. sorry about complaining about your city NIC i don’t really hate it. it just wasn’t very appealing to the eye. I really don’t understand how they call themselves the queen city. On that note. If we ever start a rival with dayton or xavier we could either have the “Queen City Trophy” or the “First In Flight Trophy”
I was in Cincy for the conference tourney in 2001 or 2002. I was taking a photography course at UNCC at the time, and decided to take my camera to snap photos while I toured the city.
The shot that I most remember was of a white trash woman selling flowers on the side of the road with a cardboard sign that said “FLowers”. She was holding her toddler child on her hip. It was so white trash. That’s what I most remember when I think of Cincy.
How are they the Queen City? How did they get that nickname. I mean, it makes sense for Charlotte...but I can't figure out the reason for Cincy?

How did Cincinnati come to be known as the Queen City?
During the first forty years after its founding, Cincinnati experienced spectacular growth. By 1820, citizens, extremely proud of their city, were referring to it as The Queen City or The Queen of the West. On May 4, 1819, B. Cooke wrote in the Inquisitor and Cincinnati Advertiser, “The City is, indeed, justly styled the fair Queen of the West: distinquished for order, enterprise, public spirit, and liberality, she stands the wonder of an admiring world.” In 1854, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote his poem, Catawba Wine, to memorialize the city’s vineyards, especially those of Nicholas Longworth. The last stanza of the poem reads: “And this Song of the Vine,
This greeting of mine,
The winds and the birds shall deliver,
To the Queen of the West,
In her garlands dressed,
On the banks of the Beautiful River.”[/QUOTE]
this is why a queen city rivalry could become one of the best in the nation. Either that or the first in flight but i think we would get more spark out of the xavier team than we did out of dayton.
That is funny they are mad because it is not televised. Must show that they are not that important to the city. For some reason, I get Charlotte games whether they are at home or away on WTVI…Sounds extremely interesting to me.
