They also just signed a home and home with Pitt and have
re-signed their home and home with UC but let's not let the facts get in the way.

They also just signed a home and home with Pitt and have re-signed their home and home with UC but let's not let the facts get in the way. They also agreed to a 2 year contract with Louisville at Louisville and in Cincinnati. These aren't the type of contracts UD fans are used to seeing. |

UD is also playing a game at North Carolina next year without a return trip.

If you guys are trying to use these as points of the demise of UD basketball you guys are crazy.
UNC only? They did the same thing with Duke a few years ago. They played a game against Purdue on a neutral site a few years ago. What is your point?
MSU played at WSU! Was that the demise of their program? Maybe there is a reason they are playing Holy Cross. Maybe they really aren't playing them at all. Who know for sure until the schedule comes out.
Al I know is there schedule has:
Louisville
UC
UNC
Pitt
Creighton
Miami (OH)
Tell me what is wrong with that and you wouldn't love for Wright State to play those teams too.

No one said any of those games are bad to have on UD's schedule. Fastbreak just pointed out that some of these games are not what UD is used to scheduling. Holy Cross is a team most UD fans are going to be upset with when it becomes official that they are playing them home and away. If you don't believe me, check out UDpride, their fans are already grumbling about that game. Three years ago, UD would have been able to get Holy Cross to come to the arena without a return game.

If you don't mind going 1-5 or 0-6, there's nothing wrong with those 6 teams on the schedule.

Holy Cross I give you. The rest of the schedule I think is what it has been.
You said that Holy Cross a few years ago might have been a home only game for UD. Maybe that says a lot about Holy Cross and the success they have had. You can look at it from the other side too.

crazy,
I for one appreciate the fact that you don't try and pass yourself off as a WSU fan and then just bash the raiders. You make no bones about it that you are a UD fan and a proud supporter.
I have never had and issue with folks that debate in an adult manner. I have my reasons why I think UD won't play us but it is a moot point. Once we (WSU) gets on track then this debate will really heat up. I can't wait!

They also just signed a home and home with Pitt and have re-signed their home and home with UC but let's not let the facts get in the way. That's pretty funny. Maybe you should check your own facts. UC just announced that they dropped UD from their schedule. I hope you weren't letting the facts get in the way of making your argument. |

UC: No room for UDBY BILL KOCH | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER One of the University of Cincinnati's most familiar opponents won't be on the Bearcats' basketball schedule next season. For the first time since 1999-2000, UC will not play area rival Dayton. The Bearcats have played the Flyers 89 times since the two schools first met in 1906-07. UC holds a 59-30 edge in the series. UC athletic director Mike Thomas said because of "the diversity of our schedule," there wasn't room on the Bearcats' non-league schedule, which includes such powers as Ohio State and Memphis, both of which could be ranked among the top 5 at the start of next season. But Thomas said he and UD athletic director Ted Kissell have agreed to have "an ongoing dialogue" about playing each other in the future. "Ted and I left it that we will continue to pursue future opportunities," Thomas said. Last season, UC played Dayton twice, with the Flyers winning the first game, 75-66, at Fifth Third Arena on Nov. 29. The two schools met again on Dec. 22 in the Las Vegas Holiday Classic, with UC winning, 81-63. Only Miami, which has played UC 142 times, has appeared on the Bearcats' schedule more frequently than Dayton. The Bearcats' non-league schedule is virtually set for next season. UC will play at Illinois State and at Memphis. In addition, the Bearcats will play Ohio State on Dec. 16 in the Wooden Tradition in Indianapolis - the first meeting between the two schools since UC beat the Buckeyes in the 1962 national championship game - and will play Ohio U. at Cleveland's Gund Arena. UC will play home games against Alabama-Birmingham, North Carolina State, Xavier, Oakland and Miami University. The Miami game is at U.S. Bank Arena. The North Carolina State game is a home-and-home contract UC must return. The Bearcats will open their first season under coach Mick Cronin at Fifth Third Arena in the Nov. 10-12 Jim Thorpe Association Classic. The tournament will feature UC and three other schools in a round-robin format in which each team will play the other three once. The field was still being finalized. UC will play 16 Big East games, which leaves them with two non-league games to schedule for 2006-07. news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060509/SPT0101/605090393/-1/CINCI

Don't be a jerk. At the time of my comments the series was going to be continued. From what I hear Mick Cronin changed that.
So the facts did not get in my way.

Keep changing your story. At the time of your last comment, you didn't say the series was going to be continued. You said that the contract was already signed. That is making up facts to prove your point.
I wouldn't be calling you out on that now if you weren't such a smart-ass in that post to begin with.

From what I was told the series was a done deal and was going to be. Sorry that changed. That is a disappointment.
How am I a smart-ass? I don't get that at all. I went back and read all my posts and I just don't see where you get that from.
Times have not changed for UD. UD has always had a hard time scheduling teams. I actually think they have raised the bar for themselves in recent years in regards to scheduling. That is why we are having this discussion. And as for UC. They are always trying to screw with UD. I was actually shocked when I heard the series was resigned. It doesn't suprise me at all UC backed out.
