Re: The Top 12 Programs Of The 2000's (2K Thru 20 06) Ranked By W-L % Records

I'll always be happy being Cincinnati.

Unfortunately, I think many "OSU fans" (actually only OSU football fans)
will start becoming OSU bball fans now also.  Amazing how it's easy to pick
a team when they're winning.  I can't wait to be sitting in Indy on 12/16
when we beat them!

All this aside, the "new" era begins tonight, and I am excited to have UC
football and basketball to support, regardless of how many they win.
