isnt xavier nearly as good a program now as cincy ever was? xavier has never had a number 1 ranking, but they've dominated a pretty good basketball league for years, are picked to win it again, and btw we are 0-6 all time against them.
iām not suggesting the A10 of today is as good as the C-USA of old, but its still a decent basketball conference and xavier is a ****ing good team. period.
so whats the difference? dont say āwe dont have a rivalry with xavier like we did with cincyā rivalries are created and like it or not we are going to be in the A10 til at least 2015 so we might as well start building some (finally)
not that you will listenā¦but
who said I agree with the cincy shirt? :shades:
anyways, at the beginning of the CUSA days we were ālooking upā to Cincy. Iād like to think we are beyond the point admiring a conf foeā¦where a ābeat Xā shirt is worthy.
just for the sake of playing devils advocate with you because im bored in classā¦
til we beat Xavier, a team that we are oh-fer against, and until we win the conference like we used to regularly in C-USA, arenāt we still ālooking upā to the top teams in the league?
(for the record, i sincerely believe we fix this problem this year by beating Xavier twice and winning the leagueā¦)

its really marketing 101. Perception is reality. I donāt like assuming the position of 2nd fiddle. I think our fans, players, etc should act as if we are supposed to be the best A10 team. If you want a special Xavier game shirt, thats cool, but make fun of them somehow. Pay no homage.
Cinci was a rival because every year we were home-away with them and a riot almost broke out one night. Its was like UNCCH - Duke.
I like the whole āact like youāve been thereā mentality. Ya know, donāt storm the court unless you beat a top 5 team, etc. I like female analogies so here is another oneā¦if you take the hottest girl in the bar home, play it off the next day like its habit, donāt high five your roommates like it will never happen again. :biggrin:

all points are fair enough. when nick in marketing and i work together on a whiteout shirt, iāll consider these points. weāll come up with something.
I like female analogies so here is another one....if you take the hottest girl in the bar home, play it off the next day like its habit, don't high five your roommates like it will never happen again. :biggrin:
Thanks. Very nice. I was curious since I was around in the era you indicated that you obtained it, I mightāve recognized itā¦but I never saw one until now.

Actually that version of Norm was pretty cool. He got to carry a gun around in those days.

Creepy mascots ??? How dare you!!
Strange part was back then, Norm didnāt seem the least bit creepy ā¦but looking back right now, yeah I would have to agree.
Does anyone from the āHoops Eraā (hint: early 80ās) we donāt like to talk about, remember a 2nd mascot that the Niners had?
It only seemed to last part of a season and I mightāve been fairly intoxicated during the season, but I do remember seeing a big green furry blob-like thing, that my roommate called a ābig green zitā.

So we SHOULD high five our roommates when we take a fatty home?
/I wouldnāt know.
//seriously, I wouldnāt.
///shut up!
That table is awesome. She could probably make some money doing some custom orders for those. But I imagine it takes forever to make.
Thanks. Yeah itās pretty sweet. She is glad she did it, but said it was a royal pain and took a long time. There wasnāt a ton of cost though, the table, grout, and tile were all fairly inexpensive together, so yeah you could turn a nice profit doing these, itās just that they take a long time and itās apparently a very tedious process.
