Pretty wild day of college basketball yesterday. If the season were a great house party, up until now there were plenty of great moments -- shots on the island in the kitchen, a few hot girls actually thought your jokes were...
Blog: Prodigal Son: January 2010 Archives
First off all apologies for missing yesterday. I know all you H5L5 readers were freaking out looking for some other way to not work at your desks. If I know my readership well, I trust that you found something. And...
Far and away the most interesting element of Wednesday's media availability at Xavier was the comments from Chris Mack about his center Kenny Frease. The 7-footer has been far from impressive of late, not totaling more than two points or...
Hope everyone enjoyed the Links Gone Wild party we had here yesterday, because I am on the go today and may be offering up a less linked version of the H5L5. But fun nonetheless. High-5 1. Devan Downey. Mo Egger...
Back at it after a great few days in Louisville -- for me, not UC -- and got to give thanks to great friends Matt and Maria Yost for letting me use their spare bedroom and portions of the most...
The more I think about what happened on Sunday at Freedom Hall the more I think about how devastating the final 20 seconds against St. John's were. Louisville is a very good team. They probably played one of their best games...
Steve Logan asked to put off his induction into the UC athletics Hall of Fame due to his issues off the court. Logan was arrested on suspicion of rape in August. This from UC athletics: CINCINNATI - Former University of...
I will be spending the majority of the next two weeks in search of a Chuck E. Cheese for dudes. Thank you Jersey Shore. You made life worth living for two glorious months. Until then, H5L5... High-5 1. Louisville-UC. Look what...
High-5 1. Jaquon Parker. Hard to start anywhere else today. I have a story begging the question that Jaquon Parker could be what the UC offense has been searching for. Boy, UC fans sure would like to hear that. Though, I...
XU and UC both in action tonight. UC will be on ESPN2 against South Florida at 7 p.m. The Musketeers will be at No. 16 Temple will be on FoxSports Ohio at 7 p.m., also. I will be at UC...
Bit of a slow day locally on the interwebbings, but I'll try to make it interesting anyway. Going to UC media session today, so check back to the site for some info from that. High-5 1. Jordan Crawford. I loved the...
Happy MLK Day, everybody. I'm not going to lie, I immediately went to find the "I Have a Dream" YouTube clip to link up to here and ended up watching all 17 minutes and 28 seconds. What an amazing man...
CNati chatted with South Bend Tribune Notre Dame basketball beat writer Thomas Noie this week about the Bearcats' game against the Irish on Saturday. Noie is in his 12th year covering ND hoops for the Tribune and broke down why...
Today is National Hat Day, so I know you guys are all jazzed up for that. Personally, I will be sporting my newly minted CNati hat with a slight tilted brim. For a long time I have wanted to do...
CNati talked to Dayton Daily News' excellent University of Dayton beat writer Doug Harris this week about what is the Achilles heel of the Flyers, why the return Luke Fabrizius makes UD tougher to beat and if this year's team is...
Watching the Bearcats go 0-for-12 from 3-point range last night in the loss to St. John's, without doubt forced a few Bearcats fans to slip the phrase, "Worst 3-point shooting team, ever" in-between their four-letter words and general slamming of...
Plenty to get to, if you are looking for XU content, be sure to check out the High-5 and for UC, well, I think you already know where to go. High-5 1. Dante Jackson. Xavier's junior forward stepped up in...
Wow, what a day yesterday. With all the terrible global news associated with the earthquake in Haiti, then the big news that kept rolling out about Mike Zimmer, UC's new OC, Conan and Lane Kiffin on a smaller scale, it was one...
I open the day a little unsatisfied because I had a dream where I was in a national Karaoke final against PDiddy. I ended up forgetting the words to the final verse and freestyling my own version, much to the...
Pretty interesting media session today with Dion Dixon, Cashmere Wright and Mick Cronin. A lot of talk about statistics, particularly UC's struggles from 3-point range and lately on defense. The most intriguing discussion was Dixon, Wright and Cronin all admitted...
I am pretty sure there is a ratio chart of "Years you've been a Bengals fan" to "Number of hours until you can talk about the playoff loss without yelling." This morning people who have been fans for 15 years...
Want to give a shout out to Nick in Va., who put in a comment yesterday stating he was enjoying the H5L5 and was, like myself, a fan of the Brandon Jennings high fade. I've heard positive reactions from a...
The first big snow storm of the season is here and I am already regretting moving back here from the South. Or at least, that is what I was thinking as my car spun out of control on I-71. No worries, I...
Epic tilt between UC and Cal State-Bakersfield tonight at 5/3. Since I assume none of you will be there, you can follow along on Twitter (@Cnati) as I update the game as it goes. High-5 1. Barry Larkin. I don't...
With plenty to do today, including start putting together an interesting story on Xavier's association with the Atlantic-10 working out my arm in time for a big Cornhole tournament tonight, let's get down to business. High-5 1. Yancy Gates. What...
My head is still spinning and my body still recouping from the holiday and the trip to cover to the Sugar Bowl. Like the rest of you, experience the first Monday after the holidays is pretty excruciating. So, I will...
Just came from meeting with UC players and coach Cronin and despite plenty of whining and complaining about how Week 17 tanked my fantasy football team, I also came away with some decent tidbits leading up to Monday's game against...
On the way from New Orleans back to Cincinnati, every rest stop, gas station and Subway had at least two Bearcats fans in it. We passed numerous cars still with their flags flying as they buzzed up I-65. Very few...
The emotional leader of the Bearcats was unquestionable, particularly over the last month since the departure of Brian Kelly. Mardy Gilyard was as much the face of the program as any player in recent history. Following his final game he...
