Speaking of negative stereotyping

This kind of Bearcat stuff makes me furious, I expect it on the Xavier sites but this was a "Take" on Jim Rome's national site. This guy is ridiculous, worse yet he lumps us with UM.

Dear Jim:

Don Nelson's epic blast on Ruben Patterson after Game 7 on Sunday made me think...has there been a former Cincinnati player in the NBA in recent history that hasn't been "dumb as a rock?" Think about it. The Bob Huggins era has turned out some classic, selfish, underachieving NBA players. Rivaled only by the Steve Fisher era Michigan teams. Could you imagine the possibilities if they somehow combined to form one NBA team? They could be the Michinati Wolfcats. They'd all get paid about $15 mil a year, and average 20 points and 0 assists a game. They'd be the most talented team in the league and go 0-82 because they're all more concerned about making the All Star Team and getting paid than they are about winning. They'd also be the most fun team in the league to watch because they're all a bunch of head cases. They could start an incredibly talented front line of Kenyon Martin, Chris Webber, and Juwan Howard. Best friends CWebb and Juwan back together again. At least best friends until they started fighting about who was getting more shots and more money. The starting backcourt would be Jalen Rose and Nick Van Exel. The over/under
on assists per game between the two of them would be 1.5. The only guy on that team that MIGHT throw the ball to a teammate is CWebb. The bench could consist of underachievers like Danny Fortson, Steve Logan, Ruben Patterson, Maurice Taylor, Loy Vaught, and Tractor Traylor. They could be coached by Glen Rice, who was always happier averaging 25 points per game
on a crappy Charlotte team than he was being a role player on the World Champion Lakers. What an amazing team this would be. Someone needs to make this happen. War Wolfcats.
