"You guys know it didn’t end well here," he said. "Things over the years have been a little rocky. I made some statements a few years ago that I couldn’t take back but at the time that’s the way I felt. But I’m still a Bearcat at heart. I have a Bearcat tattoo, so I’m still a Bearcat at heart. You guys haven’t seen the last of me."

"My success was the result of hard work and this honor is a tribute to all the guys I played with," Guidugli said. "Football is truly a sport where you are only as good as the guys next to you. I played with some great guys who didn't get the recognition, but I feel this award goes to each and every one of them because they worked just as hard as I did."

Wednesday game 'good opportunity' for UC || Cincinnati.com

"I like it," Tuberville said. "You can’t buy that advertisement. You don’t have enough money for that, nobody does. It’ll be a good opportunity for us to play on the road and see how much we’ve improved."

Thats the rub with this team. The home/road splits are startling, but at the same time I don't feel like this team has much in common right now with the one that muddled through September. If the Bearcats want to take another run at a double digit win season they have to start getting it done on the road with daunting trips to Houston and Rutgers in November.

Rethinking total offense and defense rankings || Football Study Hall

Much has been made about the Bearcats defensive numbers being a product of a bad slate of offenses. But even adjusting for opponent averages the UC defense is still one of top 10 in the country. Maybe this group really is that good?

Shaq Thomas: The Bearcats are going to go with a smaller, quicker lineup this season – and Thomas could play a major role in that. He has the length and athleticism to be a factor; will he take that next step?

There are no good answers here. The USF quarterback situation has been complete EPIC FAIL for over a year now and there are no good options, merely less bad ones. White's first game as a starter comes on a short week to prepare for a nationally televised game on Halloween that literally dozens of people that aren't Bulls fans, Cougars fans, or degenerate gamblers will be watching. It's certainly not ideal, but you have to overcome adversity at some point as a quarterback.

I try not to think about the fact that UC lost to a team that is a rampaging vortex of suck at the most important position in the game. I try really hard, and I fail
