Yes, it's true. The University of Connecticut is actually going to play a game here in Cincinnati tonight at 8 p.m.
Going from what am hearing on TV and in all the promos, you would think that this is actually practice for the Bearcats. There hasn't been a mention of UConn since I have been down here. They no Cincy is playing, but nothing about the Huskies.
This is going to be a whine game for the college football snobbery.
Here is what the narrative will be.
If Cincinnati blows out UConn, then the Big East's overall strength will be questioned.
If Cincinnati wins a close game, then the Bearcats ability will be questioned.
If UConn wins a close game of course it will prove the Big East and Cincinnati aren't that good.
IF UConn wins big, the Big East and Cincy will be exposed as frauds.
So, for anyone who wants to dismiss the Big East, this game has every built-in excuse. That's all it is, because Cincinnati's offense is good as any team's in the country's.
Everyone's darling Boise St had a rough game last night, but that shows character. If Cincy has a rough game, it will show flaws.
No matter what happens tonight, I expect the Bearcats to fall in the rankings.
OK, enough snark here. The day is absolutely beautiful.
I am getting a good vibe about the game from UConn's standpoint. I don't know if the Huskies can win, but I think they will play well. Zach Frazer just has to eliminate turnovers and UConn should be fine. Now would be a good game for the power running game to return. That's you Andre Dixon.
As far as on defense. Cincinnati will score, but make them work for it. Huskies need to get some pressure.
More a little later. It's a long day and I think I may head to the Zoo (if its open)or even the Aquarium.
Enjoy the day.
