Re: Sensible solution - was TW not the prob.

Darren,

I believe this conversation began when the news was released that the UC-XU
game will not be available in Cincy for most fans - only those with ESPNU.
The argument is whether this would have happened if Huggins was still here.
Some have pointed out the strange coincidence between UC losing nationally
television games and KSU gaining them:  this phenomenon is most readily seen
in the fact that while the UC-XU game will not be on ESPN or ESPN2, the
KSU-XU game will be on ESPN2.

It may not be related to Huggins at all.  For me, it seems clear that ESPN
puts competive teams on their premier networks.  It is their judgment for
this upcoming year - KSU will be more competitive than UC, but until we play
the games, we won't know.  Despite the denial on this board, the reality is
that the external judgment of UC basketball at this time is that it is at
the same level as South Florida!

Finally, I think we are lucky that UC is Mick's dream job.  If it wasn't, we
would have Sidney Lowe!

Go Cats!

Correction, He was the coach of UC Basketball.  There was basketball before
him and there will be basketball after him.  How many NC has he won?  I
guarantee you that if you ask if he is UC basketball he will say no.  He is
no longer here why can people not get over that?  From the sounds of some of
the posts they didn't follow UC basketball they only followed a coach.  The
name on the front of the jersey is more important than the name on the back!

seen  that school on TV before huggins went there.




I think I read KS hadn't been on ESPN for the last  3 years. Of course it
was
all about Huggins. The Knight, Huggins game on ESPN  was like automatic. For

a clincher the KS, XU game is on ESPN 2 and of course  the only reason is
Huggins. The UC, XU game that has been on ESPN for like the  last 6 or 7
years was
taken off. KS is big in the eyes of ESPN right now. Anyone  who thinks
Huggins didn't bring ESPN to KS is in self denial. There will be as  many or
more UC
fans watching KS this year as UC. He is still UC basketball  in this city
for
the time being. Nobody has replaced the name as yet.  Don
