Bearcat-Doug | 5,105 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) I can't be the only college sports fan here. With the first official NCAA Football Playoff Committee rankings coming out this week and basketball season tipping off, let's talk about our favorite teams!

Bearcat-Doug | 5,105 Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 Basketball season starts tomorrow. The Champions Classic on ESPN has the top 4 ranked teams in action. The Bearcats play their opener Wednesday night against Ohio State so I'm hoping for a great season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a basketball fan at all. That's why I made a combined thread. With both the basketball season starting and football season heating up with the first playoff committee top 25 rankings coming out tomorrow, I figured we could get some good college sports talk going.

Strikezone1 | 155 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I'm a pretty big college FB & BB fan. Michigan State is my #1 team. They got Kentucky tonight in the Champions Classic. It'd be nice to see them win, and not lose their 4th straight in this classic. I'm not holding my breathe on it. MSU football is trash this year. I think (and hope) D'Antonio is done... Cincy is having a good year. I see their AD is leaving for USC. You think Luke Fickell will stick around? I wouldn't mind MSU taking him off your hands.

You already took Dantonio off our hands lol. From what I've read, Fickell wasn't all that close with the AD, so it's probably more of an issue with who the next AD is. I've heard Jim Tressel's name brought up the most since I doubt it would be too tough to get him from Youngstown State and there's the obvious Ohio State connection. It's tough to say if Fickell will stick around or not based on the last three coaches all leaving for bigger jobs. He's an Ohio guy so I hope he stays and keeps building the program.

I'II be pulling for your guys tonight. UK is about as popular among Bearcats fans as Ohio State and hopefully UC can take care of them tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MACtion also starts tonight with two Tuesday night games. I'm sure Tressel made enough money coaching at O$U and dropping down from President to AD might not be something he would be into either. I saw something in the USC news that Bohn left UC with the idea he could hire Urban Meyer at USC, but apparently he was told no and hasn't actually signed a deal yet so it looks like everything is in limbo since apparently he didn't resign from UC so nobody seems to be totally sure what's going on.

I would be shocked if you see Urban Meyer coaching anywhere again. The stress gives him migraines or something. Maybe AD somewhere down the line.

Even though he left Florida and Ohio State for health reasons, I'm guessing he would coach again if the right job came up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't there for that one, and I know the crowd can be a little lax for the small-conference foes (especially one that just moved up from DII), but hopefully we did our gameday proud.

It was a typical Izzo/MSU performance in an early season big game: couldn't throw the ball in the ocean, dumb turnovers, too many fouls. This is MSU's 4th straight loss in the Champions Classic, and they're 3-6 since this thing started.. Pretty frustrating. Big game for you guys tonight vs the Buckeyes. Best of luck!

Had a nice season last year. Benny Snell was fun to watch. They should at least get to a bowl game again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
