It's official: Jones to UC
0 comments Thursday, September 27, 2007

Crazy, just crazy. I can't get over how excited I am about the direction that Bearcat football is headed. Can I buy my 2008 season tickets now?

As noted in a previous post, Demetrius Jones was considering UC as his new home for the next four years. The deal is done. Welcome DJ.

Here is some info on our newest "recruit" from the article:

Jones was rated No. 33 by USA Today on a list of the nation's top 100 prep players as a high school senior.

He would have to sit out this year and would have three years of eligibility remaining.

I have heard this before...

From Enquirer.com: "We came here for selfish reasons," Kelly said, "and that is for my family. My wife, my family, we really love this area. It's not about jobs anymore. If you asked me at Central Michigan, yeah, I would tell you that we were looking for another opportunity there. I'm not of that same mind-set here."

Let's hope that my biggest fear about Coach Kelly's hiring doesn't ring true. After all, for decades UC served as a stepping stone job for dozens of big time coaches. I know of at least a dozen coaches that were at UC during my 5 years who are now head coaches or coordinators are "major" college programs or in the pros. Why won't Brian Kelly join them?

The only long-term hire that, I believe, would stay is a UC alum. Someone who TRULY loves UC. Hopefully Coach Kelly means what he says, but many have made that same statement. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Another possible ND QB transfer?
1 comments


It's amazing what a few wins strung together will do for a program. Apparently, Demetrius Jones, yeah the guy who started Notre Dame's season opener, is seriously considering a transfer to UC. Let's hope this one actually pans out, unlike Zach Frazer.

Apparently, the major hang-up is the lack of an open scholarship. Sure, that seems like a problem, but I am sure the smart people in UC's athletic department can figure something out. They better!!!

Typical Cincinnati Sports Fans (kinda sad)
0 comments Tuesday, September 25, 2007

During my years at UC, we had a couple of sell-outs, but mainly due to the big-time teams/players on the other side of the field (Tim Couch and Kentucky, Edge and Miami (FL), Ron Dayne and Wisconsin), . The one exception to that rule was a UC/Miami-Bastard-Redskin/Redhawk triple-OT classic (the greatest game I ever played in). Our teams sent many players into the NFL, set a few school/conference records, and even led the nation in a few statistical categories. But we couldn't sell-out on our own, no matter who in the top 25 we beat.

Don't get me wrong. As I said yesterday, you would be hard-pressed to see someone more excited about UC's new-found popularity than me and my family. We, especially me, are extremely loyal to our alma mater and their sports teams. However, the local Cincinnati fans are a bit more fickle. All of a sudden, Bearcat football is the hot ticket in town. Let's hope Coach Kelly keeps this thing rolling in a positive direction and sell-outs can become the norm. After all, it is only 35,000...

I can't even begin to tell you how excited we are in the Anderson household that our Bearcats cracked the AP Top 25.

The big test will be in a couple of weeks when Big East play begins. Good luck fellas! We will be watching...

Shaving #2 Complete
0 comments Friday, September 07, 2007

Today really snuck up on me. It seems like just a few days ago that my head lost about 2 pounds of hair to help childhood cancer. I found myself searching for ways to get out of the painting over the past week, but I kept thinking of the folks that dished out their hard-earned money to see me with an orange and brown head.

The guilt took over and I ran to Wal-Mart at 5:50 AM this morning to find some face paint. As always, Wally World saved me by having their Halloween stuff front-and-center.

I know you don't care about the commentary, so here are some photos:



Let's just hope I can get this off my head before tonigh's big game!!!
