Extremely Terrible Game :-(

[DXLOVER EMAIL SERVICE]

I am just now getting over the shock that I witnessed today.  It is something that I'm just not accustomed to viewing from my seat at The Shoemaker.

I actually left my seat with three minutes left in the first half just to step outside and clear my head.  I have NEVER left my seat before halftime or before the end of a game,  never.  It is just so hard to watch them not go hard in a game,  I just don't understand it.  They knew (I would think) what it entailed to play at Cincinnati,  yet they are not delivering to the level that everyone thought/thinks they can.

I'm not a bandwagon fan by no means,  but I actually left with five minutes to go in the game. :-(  If I had to do it over,  I think I still would have,  that is what's bothering me...lol.  Listening to Huggs in the postgame,  my heart goes out to the guy.  Throughout his tenure here at UC,  there would be games that on paper or by looking out on the court,  we had no business winning against those teams.  Cincinnati would beat them with heart and effort.

Can you guys give me your opinion here.  Is the light going to 'turn on' for these kids??  Are they finally going to get what it means to be a Bearcat??  All it is,  is leaving it out on the court.  Nothing more,  nothing less.
If these guys don't mount any better effort Wednesday,  UL will bury them by thirty points or more.  You can bank on it.  I can't think of another coach that I'd hate to see do it to Cincinnati other than the Spaghetti Sauce Man himself.  He is going to try an make a statement,  in a HUGE way.  I hope the kids respond.

Pardon the lengthy post. :-)
