RE: UC Basketball Graduation Rates

[Wedinger, Keith]

Ordinarily, I would agree.  And his personal dislike for Huggins should not
influence journalistic integrity.  But idiots like Kornheiser have already
made up their minds and they will continue to spew out only those tidbits
that support their opinions.  It just isn't worth the trouble.

I can handle soem casual idiot living outside Cincinnati who does not have
his facts. But Kornheiser's job as a radioman and sports reporter is getting
facts straight. There are basically two possibilities: either
(1) he does not know the true facts about the graduation rates or (2) he is
purposely misrepresenting them because of his disdain for Huggs. Either way,
he is failing to do his job correctly and he needs to be called on it. If I
went into work and stood up and misrepresented facts as part of my job, you
better believe someone would call me on it.

I know this may get some people on this board riled up...however, I'm really

sick and tired of trying to defend the Bearcats graduation rate issue, UC's
"band of criminals" image or "Thug persona" and the list goes on and on...

I'm a part time bartender in Chicago and every saturday night, I proudly

wear my UC hat while I'm slinging drinks and 9 times out of ten I usually
get in a pretty heated discussion with some drunk spouting off about all of 
the above mentioned issues, regurgitating all the journalistic nonsense that

writers like Tony Kornheiser publishes. Thus, being a die hard UC basketball

fan and a UC graduate, it kills me to see that the general public outside of

Ohio really has a dislike for UC.  So, whenever I find myself in one of 
those heated bar conversations, I say, "the basketball program that Huggins
and Goin have put in place has given UC the best chance at winning games and

still being competitive with the likes of Duke, Kentucky and other 
basketball powerhouses and you cannot dispute their results, period!"

It really comes down to either you love UC or you hate them.  Chances are if

you hate UC, it probably because you've been misinformed by the likes of

idiots like Tony Kornheiser.
