Loveland, Ohio – After a very fun Thanksgiving hiatus, the podcast returns! Chris and Mark start off with a tiny bit of good news (if you are a Wolverine or anti-Ohio State fan) as Michigan pulled off an inexplicable upset of the Buckeyes this past weekend, 13-10. The guys discuss Ryan Day’s dubious game plan and how it led to one of the more memorable upsets of the year and extended the four game winning streak for the Wolverines in The Game. Then, things turn a bit more depressing as Mark guides us through the Bearcats’ football loss to TCU and the basketball squad falling short against Villanova. Mark also sheds some light on the good things we can expect from the ‘Cats on the gridiron next year, as their season is now over. But Cincinnati’s basketball season is just opening up and there is plenty to be exited about on that front, despite falling to Villanova last game.

Then, of course, the guys get into the Bengals’ most recent game against the Steelers. Both Chris and Mark lament having to watch Old Man Russell Wilson throw for over 400 yards against a defense that has been DOA for about 6 weeks now. They also talk about the upcoming game against Dallas and whether perennial backup Cowboys’ quarterback Cooper Rush is going to add his name to the laundry list of players who have embarrassed this Bengals defense.

So tune in this week, and we apologize for having to cut this episode a bit short due to some technical issues. Rest assured that next week’s episode will be error-free!

Loveland, Ohio – On this week’s episode of the podcast, Chris and Mark wade through the negativity of a weekend that included a crushing Bengals loss to the Chargers, and the Bearcats struggling on the road against Iowa State. The guys get into whether the Cats can become bowl eligible and what is going on with Brendan Sorsby. They also break down what went wrong on Sunday night in Los Angeles and lament more wasted offensive performances from Joe Burrow and company. And they finish by going into just what it could take to get Cincinnati into a competitive position in 2025 and beyond, if this season is truly over (and the numbers look pretty bleak). But they at least start of the pod with some positivity and all the good things that Simas Lukošius and the Cincinnati Bearcats basketball team has been doing in this early season.

And don’t worry, when you hear Mark go nuts in the middle of our discussion, all was well, it wasn’t someone breaking into his home. He’d just won a nice little wager, so felt the need to celebrate!

Loveland, Ohio – After a week hiatus, the podcast is back! Unfortunately, the first half of it is devoted to breaking down a heartbreaking loss for the Bengals and a head-scratching defeat for Bearcat football. But there is plenty of positivity too as Cincinnati and Joe Burrow remain right in the thick of the playoff hunt. Sunday night’s game against the Las Angeles Chargers, though, represents a real turning point as to whether those postseason hopes still have any life left in them. The Bearcats, meanwhile, have to regroup for two big games against Iowa State and Kansas State as they fight to get to bowl eligibility. Mark also covers the early season start for the ‘Cats in basketball, while Chris talks a little about what has propelled the Cleveland Cavaliers to their 13-0 start.
