I'll second that... anybody who thinks Jon isn't a true bearcat fan needs to
lay off the crack pipe. 

Personally, I would rather talk Bearcats basketball with people who are
realistic, not "homers" who think UC is going to win the championship every
year, and if they don't it is due to UC being screwed. 

Brad, you haven't been here very long, maybe you should sit back and see how
things work on this forum before you question the loyalty of one of the guys
who got it where it is today.

"It makes no sense to call yourself a fan. . . . "

I would most definitely call Jon Breiner a Bearcat fan.
