My realism takes the life out of the Bearcats? What?

Ive been around for about 3 years mick, and your "realism" takes the
life out of the bearcats. Again, remember the last time we recruited
all juco's...

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.

Jon,

U remind me of the people that i dont enjoy talking about the bearcats
with. Why not just expect 0-30 than you will be super stoked! It
makes no
sense to call yourself a fan, if you do not hold your team in the
highest
regards. Too many risk managers in todays society...

I am not changing my "wishlist". If UC makes it into the NIT that

quite a feat. The schedule might be easier this year than last, but
not by
much, and this year's team would lose to last year's team. I am not
tempering my enthusiasm, I am letting it build to heights I feel
comfortable
with. If I expect 25-6 and get 15-15, I will be very disappointed. But
since I expected the worst earlier (like immediately after AK's injury
last
year) and have simply been hoping this year's team can be .500, I will
stick
to that. If they achieve more, great, but I do not expect this team to
be
in the NCAA tourney next year. if they are, I would say Mick's
coaching
job
was as good as Andy's last year. Better in some respects, but no one
(likely) will ever have more difficult extenuating circumstances than
Andy
had, so his success was truly remarkable.
