A Vtech fans posts on the banter board and the East Carolina fans' response is that it would be real easy to duplicate cincy's success by simply being in a "BCS" conference. Interesting reading. http://www.boneyardbanter.com/message_bo...677894.php

Never mind why I am posting this. Do you agree with the hypothesis that ECU could easily attain Cincinnati's new found status among the college football elite by simply being in a BCS conference?

I think ECU could - as could Southern Miss, UCF, and Houston

Any non-bcs school who joins the Big East or ACC could become a national power very quick. You get all of the advantages of joining a BCS league and at the same time you join a weak conference. If the SEC ever decided to add a school and that school was ECU, Troy, So Miss, etc yes they would improve, but they would never be better than a Vandy or UK.

I think several CUSA teams could do it given the advantages of being associated with a BCS conference. Would it be easy? No! But with the right coach it could be done.

Also I would not call Cincy part of the college football elite... Now if you sustain this level of success for an extended period of time that could change but as of now, no way.

cincy is the only "elite" team that averages 32 thousand a game..you guys are on the rise but def not elite

I would agree with you. That's what makes our rise to national power very impressive. I don't think ECU could do it as easily. Ohio is a hotbed of talent. Cincy could be scary good for years to come with Kelly at the helm.

Sincy is truly the Loserville of our time.

No more than the silly assumption that any BCS school could go undefeated by playing the schedules Boise State and TCU play.

One day, when your team has a day like Michigan did, folks will stop playing games on paper.

What a dumb post. It's like the Tidewater of Virginia isn't a hotbed of talent? Heck.....we recruit throughout the Southeast and up and down the East Coast for that matter.

As others have said, any team would benefit from being in a BCS conference. UCF, ECU, Marshall, Houston, Memphis... any team would automatically recruit better, get better coaches, everything. Better is a relative term though. If you only do slightly better than awful then you're still crap, but better overall. It's up to the AD's of those programs to make wise decisions or they could end up like Louisville the last three years.

I truly feel ECU could be another West Virginia type program for us. One that isn't in a big market (overrated IMO) but has a big following. As a conference we don't need the next Cincinnati - whatever the **** that even means. We need a team that's going to come in and beat BCS teams OOC and bring tons of fans to their bowl games. Both are things ECU already does. They don't play a pansy *** schedule OOC and even being in one of the non-AQ conferences they still have some of the highest rated games on TV and put fans in the stands. Their location is perfect as they are in the middle of our footprint.

I don't know what exactly the downside is to inviting them but I'd be curious to hear it.

Your statement is wrong, but you won't keep Kelly for ever...don't worry abuot that.

By the way, I really have been pulling for Cinci, because I like what they have done in a number of things in the Athletic Department. It's too bad the small fan base is tarnished by trolls like you.

What was I thinking? Why would Skip Holtz want to make more money and play in the Orange Bowl when he could make less money and get to the Libert Bowl! Go ECU- Let's see if you guys can get to the crown jewel of CUSA-- The Liberty Bowl! I love THE BIG EAST!

I'm confused. Did you come over here to have an intelligent conversation about what a BCS affiliation do for a football program or talk smack to ECU fans? If it's the first, then I think there is no better example of what said affiliation can do than where Cindy is in the world of football now. You went from a program that couldn't fill a tiny stadium, whose biggest accomplishment was tying for a share of the CUSA title (with a 7-6 record), to a team that fills a tiny stadium and is ranked in the top 10 and playing top 10 quality football.

If it's the second, you should stop because you're very bad at it.

P.S. Read a paper - Skip turned down the interview.

It's funny that this guy came over here for some sort of fight, but the only person really slinging mud is him. Even other Big East fans are clueless as to what this guys issue is.

Seriously, it has to be something much deeper wrong with shocknawe. Maybe he has a thing for Pirates and he is trying to fight it.

What level of success? They won a weak Big East last year, and got punked in the Orange Bowl. In the lowest rated BCS bowl ever, in front of the lowest number of fans to attend since 1947.

This year they have done?

College football elite?

cincy is such an elite program that herbie said that he wouldnt even vote for them to play in the national champ game if they went undefeated...that is respect

Herbie is an Ohio State Shill- If he said anything other than that he would get lynched in columbus since he lives there. Plenty of other espn people(last night on college football live jesse palmer for example said uc should play in the title game if undefeated) have respect for UC. Just being in the national title discussion is beyond my wildest dreams. Tune in tomorrow night when the eyes of the college football nation will be watching a top 10 program on the road. UC-USF is the "game of the week" according to CBS Sportsline.com. Your jealousy is so obvious. Thank goodness I am a UC fan, not an EZU fan! I love the Big East! Kelly is building a college football powerhouse and you guys are just ate up with jealousy!

ehh not really jealous of a team that does not have the "wow factor" as herbie would say

Bitter??? Just calling you out on your pathetic obsession with ECU. You are in the country club with a football team in the Top 10 yet you still troll the Boneyard and CUSA Boards to take pop shots at ECU???

To answer the idiotic question you first posted in this thread, yes ECU, USM, Houston, Tulsa and God knows the likes of TCU, Boise St. Utah etc.. would all greatly benefit from BCS access like UC has.

Have you forgotten what UC Football was like before the BCS??? Cincinnati never finished a season ranked in a Top 25 poll. ECU has finished ranked in the Top 25 three times including a Top 10 finish at #9. UC has still not finished ranked in the Top 10 and this may well be your year.

How many teams in the Top 10 did UC defeat before you were in the BCS???? Answer...the big zippy. ECU has defeated Top 10 teams like Miami and WVU and Top 25 teams like Syracuse, NCST, TCU, Boise St. Pitt etc..

I can remember going to UC games with my brother and sitting in the cold with about 14k fans. So yes to answer your question I believe that ECU, Southern Miss, UCF, Houston, Tulsa and a whole lot of other teams could benefit from BCS access like Cincinnati has or Virginia Tech who was nothing before they got into the Big East and then ACC in football.

I actually like UC and have followed them for years. I have had to drag my brother kicking and screaming who graduated from UC to stop only pulling for Ohio St. His favorite team even this year is still Ohio St. which I think is pathetic since UC is his alma mater. I have not been to a UC game since you guys turned into a good football program and would actually like to go.

I have not been to a UC game since you guys turned into a good football program and would actually like to go.

Actually we defeated the big ten champion wisconsin badgers who were led that year by heisman trophy winner Ron Dayne
back in 95 or 96 I believe. They were #6 in the country. But I will agree with you on the larger point that UC is in unchartered waters. Some of you ecu boys are too easy to mess with.

"Getting better in the BCS, so easy even a Cincinnati program can do it!"

Good to see you are as classy as ever CockNJaw. Hopefully one day your obsession with ECU will end. You are pathetic.

Wow- You seem bitter. Did you guys have a game last night? On a tuesday? Wow-what a traditional night for football-tuesday! Great idea. Hope you guys continue enjoying CUSA for many years to come. I will enjoy the Big East and the incredible ride we have been on. Loving the Big East as I am sure you guys are lovin CUSA. Go CUSA- Home of the Liberty Bowl!

Bitter??? Just calling you out on your pathetic obsession with ECU. You are in the country club with a football team in the Top 10 yet you still troll the Boneyard and CUSA Boards to take pop shots at ECU???

To answer the idiotic question you first posted in this thread, yes ECU, USM, Houston, Tulsa and God knows the likes of TCU, Boise St. Utah etc.. would all greatly benefit from BCS access like UC has.

Have you forgotten what UC Football was like before the BCS??? Cincinnati never finished a season ranked in a Top 25 poll. ECU has finished ranked in the Top 25 three times including a Top 10 finish at #9. UC has still not finished ranked in the Top 10 and this may well be your year.

How many teams in the Top 10 did UC defeat before you were in the BCS???? Answer...the big zippy. ECU has defeated Top 10 teams like Miami and WVU and Top 25 teams like Syracuse, NCST, TCU, Boise St. Pitt etc..

I can remember going to UC games with my brother and sitting in the cold with about 14k fans. So yes to answer your question I believe that ECU, Southern Miss, UCF, Houston, Tulsa and a whole lot of other teams could benefit from BCS access like Cincinnati has or Virginia Tech who was nothing before they got into the Big East and then ACC in football.

I forgot about Wisconsin but do remember UC almost beating Ohio St. the year they went on to win the National Championship. That was a great game and UC should have won.

I applaud UC for what they have become with BCS Access. I think UC and VT are the poster child for what a program can do when it is put on an even playing field with its BCS neighbors.

I think ECU, USM, Houston, Tulsa etc.. in CUSA and especially Boise St. TCU, Utah and BYU should be very proud what they have accomplished without having BCS access.

Shame of it all is there is a BCS that gives $$$ and recruiting advantage to schools who fall under that umbrella when the system was designed to advantage the dozen or so elite college football programs.

Back to the top. Can't have Memphis swipe the target off our backs.

To be honest- I liked the rivalry we had with ECU.Why else do you think I am on here talking sh!t about ECU? Since the split everyone has been too nice too each other in the Big East because we all feel disrespected, so we are hesitant to tear each other down. ECU has a passionate fan base and I enjoyed those CUSA games against ECU.

Now they just need a basketball coach to get a DUI.

I hear Billy Gillepsie is looking for a new gig.

yeah, that old huggins smack is over. Go over to the wvu board with that tired old smack. Huggins is no longer our coach. By the way, thank goodness we didn't hire skip holtz as our coach. UC turned him down and hired Kelly instead!

Your school, your rules, your academic standards.

Didn't your QB once have to play a good part of season with an police ankle-bracelet on, because he was on house arrest for an assault conviction?

That speaks volumes about UC athletics.

"speaks volumes"? Something that happened under a different coach, a different A.D., a different university president, etc. You are aware this is 2009 now, right?

No - I don't believe a QB has ever played part of a season with an ankle bracelet on. You are referring to Gino Guidugli and the incident and the house arrest occurrred during the summer.

http://www.enquirer.com/bearcats/2003/07/23/gino23.html

What the heck are you talking about? That was years ago, just like the Huggins incidents and the grad rate stories. You must have a computer and know how to use it - try doing just a little bit of research first before you make yourself look so foolish. It's pretty easy to do.

I'm sure if we go back in time far enough we can find some bad behavior stories from your school or any school. We might not even have to go back far.

Have you checked UC football and basketball grad rates in the last few years? The answer is obviously no, you have not. If you did you might be surprised to know that UC football has been one of the best in recent years and UC basketball is doing just fine as well.

October 14, 2008

CINCINNATI – The NCAA released its annual graduation report today (Oct. 14) and the University of Cincinnati Department of Athletics showed overall improvement as the Class of 2001-02 graduated 68 percent of its incoming freshmen.


UC’s graduation rate over the last four years combined also saw an improvement of two percent (59 to 61). The men’s basketball team posted a single-year graduation rate of 100 percent for the second year in a row and saw its four-year average (1998-2002) rise from 50 to 56 percent, staying above the NCAA Division I average of 46 percent.

Oct. 30, 2008


CINCINNATI - The University of Cincinnati football team recently received 2008 American Football Coaches Association Academic Achievement honorable mention accolades for its recent Graduation Success Rate of over 90 percent for the entering class of 2001.

The award is given based on the NCAA's Graduation Success Rate formula, which measures the academic success of student-athletes on a six-year graduation window.

UC was one of seven programs nationally, including Colorado, Duke, Navy, Notre Dame, Rutgers, and Vanderbilt to achieve over the 90 percent plateau. Forty-six programs across the country graduated 70 percent or more of their football student-athletes.
