On November 19, 2006, a day after my UC Bearcats knocked off an undefeated Rutgers at home, I made the following post:

Well, here we sit 2 years later, and looking back, it can be said that THAT was the game that put UC football on the map.
Today, Nov. 22, 2008, UC takes on Pitt - which will be before a SOLD OUT crowd of 35,000+, on national primetime TV - ranked #19 vs #20 - to essentially lock up the Big East title and the school's first BCS bowl bid (after winning, they would still have to beat Syracuse next week to finalize this).
Since my last post, Mark Dantonio has left and we've brought on Brian Kelly. Now, the talks intensify that he's on his way out as well...I don't feel bad though. In two years, we've made some great strides, we've got some of the best facilities in the country (including a new practice facility just announced yesterday: http://www.wcpo.com/news/local/story.aspx?...b-3879712cb392), and we've got an invigorated fan base. We'll find a new coach to keep this thing going if BK leaves.
As a UC fan (and season ticket holder), I say SCREW EM....we're on the map, and we're not going anywhere.
