Where should I take my family to pregame before the WVU game? I used to go to Mecklenberg Garden but obviously can’t now.

Will we ever get away from these noon games? Will we ever have another Nipp at Night? Feels like no.

Offence: Offensive felt sluggish but a bad night for Sorsby was still not a disaster. Getting Royer and Henderson would have been great.

Defense: Defensive line looked out matched. The talent disparity in the secondary was obviously but not catastrophic. We limited the explosive plays somewhat but not enough to pull out a win.

Special Teams: Special teams seemed to handle Colorado's speed relatively well. Thankfully no missed kicks this week.

X Factor: The X factor seemed to be that Colorado is simply faster than us. Our scheme and planning can only go so far when you are dealing with freak athletes.

Final Thoughts: The end of second half busted coverage was devastating. We needed to avoid a shootout like what happened with Texas Tech but defense could not get it done. A stop somewhere in the middle of the first half to slow momentum may have yielded different results. Elevation and the late start time probably didn't help but was not a noticeable issue. Overall things feel good and the back half of the schedule is a mix of hot and cold teams. A bowl seems like a reasonable goal and the rest of the season should be fun to watch. Being competitive again feels fantastic.

Final Rant: The broadcast was almost unwatchable. Split screening for footage of Colorado staff scratching their asses and players warming up was annoying. The dick ridding of the Sanders family was insufferable. I think they gave us more respect when we were getting blown out by Alabama in the playoffs. Absolutely terrible TV product start to finish. This was no improvement from ESPN+.

Let me know how you feel about our Bearcats!

I have been very, very down on Satts since his hiring, and especially after his conservative play calling cost us the victory against Pittsburgh. But I have to give credit where credit is due and admit the team is improving and the program is respectable again. I still say he's about as inspiring as a damp dishrag, but the players seem to be responding to him. So I will shut up (for now) and hope for a fun bowl -- just saw someone project the Liberty Bowl against Vandy, and that would be cool. Go Bearcats!

Heading to the game this weekend. First time in Ohio. Any recommendations for breweries and nightlife? Main reason heading down is the game so looking to enjoy our selves.

Is he going to be drafted this year abd if so when?

We are heading to Colorado next week to watch the game. Our ticket situation has gone awry. We are looking for a hail mary to see if anyone has tickets that they are looking to sell. If you have anything or know of anything please feel free to reach out. Thanks in advance and we hope to see a lot of red and black in Boulder!

Anyone know if there’s a way to sell your tickets from your Apple wallet? I bought TCU tickets on 11/30 and realized afterwords I might not be back yet from Thanksgiving trip

100% hypothetically speaking here. Fickell seems to be on the hot seat in Wisconsin, and we all know how bad Satterfield sucks. If Wisconsin were to fire Fickell and UC cans Satt (I doubt we would because of his buyout), would anybody be interested in giving Fickell a second chance?

Looking to see if there are any bearcats bars in DC! I know the bengals bar is a purdue one for college. Lmk if you know of any for tomorrow!

Realignment continues and it is inevitable that CFB ends up with 2 super conferences (B1G and SEC) and everyone else playing in essentially a new sub-tier comprised of former G5 teams and big 2 rejects (eg, Vandy, etc).

Satterfield’s bad teams are coming along at the exact wrong time and if we stick with him for another year or two, we are almost certainly going to be on the outside looking in and for good.
