Deja Vu for the Bearcats?

If you guys couldn't tell already, I Michael Berning, am not a fan/supporter/etc. of the Cincinnati Bearcats basketball program. I never have and never will. For those of you who have similar feelings for the Muskies, I totally understand and I ask you not to lose that edge: that's what makes this the BEST college basketball town in the US of A. We hate each other, talk shit yearlong, and all of it is completely healthy. Honestly, I must admit hating UC was not fun for a few years after Huggie Bear left. I think Mick though has done a sufficient job filling that void. I cannot stand the little mouse. Sucks he got cheated on by his wife. Mick seriously dude, who the hell wouldn't cheat on your bug-assed self. Mad props to his ex. She must've been loaded when he proposed to her.

This short post though is not a Mick rip-fest. If you check out the poll to the right, I really want to see all of your guys' opinions on the Bearcats motivation for their tough, gritty play in the Big East tourney. UC fans should be proud of the way their team battled. Something is just telling me though that they weren't going balls to wall to save Mick's job or to represent the ghost of Nancy Zimpher. I look forward to seeing y'alls thoughts. Please feel free to comment below as well.

Do you guys of Charles Williams back from 1996? Because seriously, last night was dejavu! UC had the ball in a very advantageous position and because of a guard's inability to DRIBBLE the ball up the court, the Cats (insert Dan Hoard voice hear) turned the ball over only to lose on the ensuing possession by a game winning shot from the opposition. Legendary call by the great Andy Mac (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xydgOHauwbU ) Gotta respect Lenny Brown and his oddly-shaped head and what he did in his career for the Blue, White, and Grey over on Victory Parkway. Face it, whether you liked him in college or not, as a fan of Cincinnati professional sports, you more than likely rooted for Brown as he graced US Bank Arena with his presence night in and night out as a member of the ever-famous squad in the Nasty Nati, the CINCINNATI STUFF!

I couldn't find the WVU gamewinner in the NCAA tourney but the following clip might sting a little bit as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UbSIC1JVhY . Sorry, I had to.... (actually I'm not sorry at all.)

And on that note, I am sending off: over and out.

GO MUSKIES tonight! Playing for the CBS trumpets on Sunday in the Atlantic 10 finals.
