I guarantee you that guy has either a UT or UF cap in his wardrobe, and insists that the GCL is the best HS football in the country. God, I need to move out of this hell hole. (No offense to sensible Cincinnatians)
Oh, by the way, UC vs. Big Ten, all time: 8-38-2 (.187) |
I've seen alot of this hate from Cincinnati fans towards Ohio State fans. In the 1990's people from Cincy thought it was cool to be Michigan fans just because they hated Ohio State, then when Michigan got terrible they pretended as if they were never fans, especially since the Bearcats have "improved" since then.
I say improved, because while they have finally gotten themselves into a BCS conference, and they've challenged for their conference title every year they've been a part of the Big East, its still just the Big East... the lowliest BCS conference of them all. Hell, the WAC would probably school the Big East if they played year in and year out.
Lastly, the 8-32-2 record is the best thing to point out to Bearcat fans who think they're finally as good as Ohio State and could beat the Buckeyes, as well as the rest of the conference on a regular basis, if they were just only a part of the Big 10. However, I think a better stat would be this one: 1-13, the Bearcats record against the Big 10 since 1990, which includes a 1990 walloping by Iowa 10-63, an 81-0 beat down by Penn State in 1991, and three defeats to Indiana by totals of 3-28, 14-48, and 6-42 in 1994, 1998, and 2000 respectively. Additionally, there were four losses to Ohio State in 1999, 2002, 2004, and 2006. Their only victory in the past 19 seasons has been against Wisconsin in 1999 when they won 19-12. In fact, you'd have to go back another 15 years from that victory to find another one for the Bearcats, which was against Penn State, and they weren't even Big Ten back then.
Actually, forget all that, just point out that the Bearcats are 0-6 against the Buckeyes all time and they should hopefully get the point.

Anonymous said... I live in Cincinnati and OSU fans are amazing. They really believe they are a big deal. The truth is Oklahoma and Texas play for more than OSU and UM. Even when they were ranked #1 and 2 they weren't half the team Florida was in 06. The Big 10 is an average conference. The Best of the Big East and the ACC are in the same range as OSU year in and out. At least a good Big East Team will give an SEC a game, unlike OSU. See WVU and UGA Sugar Bowl. The Big 12 South and the SEC set the bar in college football.
