Cincinnati sports is cursed - Trademark - 03-22-2019
The bearcats blew a lead and lost. Scooter Gennett got injured and the Bengals will probably suck again. Cincinnati sports is cursed

More cheer from one of our favorite eternal optimists.

Well the Bengals go out in one, Bearcats usually the 2nd game. So it seems we're getting worse.

Is it a single sport or is it multiple sports? If you are referring to more than one, the proper phrasing would be: Cincinnati sports ARE cursed. Kentucky is a hell-hole degenerate area. Perhaps it's loser-ocity leaches into the soil and causes Cincinnati to have no pride. *Shrugs*

He's a "realist". Quite jovial fellow though.

Unfortunately sometimes the truth hurts...

Maybe the head coach should have spent more time focusing on his opponent and less time talking in the media about OSU and "taking over Columbus".
RE: Cincinnati sports is cursed - Pat5775 - 03-23-2019
Cincinnati sports isn’t cursed, just s****y coaching across the board when the going gets tough
RE: Cincinnati sports is cursed - McC - 03-23-2019
Mick Cronin is Marvin Lewis. He can get you there but that's it. He does what he does and refuses to adapt. That stupid matchup zone can't defend the 3 but he won't come off it for anything. The only thing missing is, "We just have to play better." I knew when the bracket came out that we weren't beating Iowa, who is a bunch of 3 point shooters.
I feel like the Bengals have a new HC who won't be stuck in the 90's and therefore might give us a better chance in today's NFL and I'm hopeful about David Bell being an upgrade for the Reds.
The Bearcats have a massive upgrade in football, at least until some bigger program snatches him away. But as long as Cronin is here, the basketball program will be what it is. He just flat out refuses to recruit dead eye shooters and he always has. And it seems like he has a job here for life because he'll never get fired and no one will ever do us the favor of snatching him away.

I’m a UF grad and Gator fan but the remainder of my family went to UC, so I’m a sidewalk fan.
I’m very disappointed in Cronin. Think UC should do better.

Agree with both of you. I was in the minority of UC fans who wanted Cronin fired after that debacle against Nevada at last years tournament. An absolutely inexcusable loss, but he retained his job and still shows he cannot/ will not adapt to win a game.
Mick needs to go if the UC basketball program is going to make any progress in March.

What makes it extra frustrating is how, outside of this year, Xavier has that thing where they beat teams they probably shouldn't in the tournament and UC has that thing where they don't beat teams they probably should.

As someone who lives in Kentucky (Lexington) I don't think of myself as a degenerate. I, and many of my Kentucky friends and relatives, are loyal to Cincinnati sports teams. I'd like to see how those teams would do without the support of Kentuckians.

The Bengals are Kentucky's team... The Browns own Ohio.

Kentucky Bengals. I like it.
RE: Cincinnati sports is cursed - grampahol - 03-23-2019
At least the Bengals have a picture of a chubby guy with two guys laughing and pointing in the background to represent the best in data anylitics now! If that doesn't inspire confidence nothing will..

Have you forgotten about the Sinclaire Community College Tartans? They're in Ohio too!

Except that there is zero truth (or logic) to his post, it's simply pessimism.

If you have a stock that lost money for 27 years in a row would you bank on that stock succeeding the 28th year? To the point where you praised every move?
The Bengals are a true outlier in the league as EVERY TEAM has won a playoff game since we last did. Most teams have won 5+ over that span.
