Cincinnati’s Monday Sports Manager

Basketball & Football Bonus

Well it is the Monday after the announcement of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. Xavier gets a No. 4 Seed in the tough East Region. UC does not get a bid. Nor do they get one to the NIT.

But I really do not want to talk basketball. I want to talk UC football. The 2009 schedule was announced recently. The schedule looks fairly balanced . . . Big East home games against Louisville, Connecticut, and West Virginia and road games against Rutgers, USF, and Pittsburgh. Added bonus is one big non-conference game, Illinois, comes here to play the Bearcats. And I do not think we have any home Thursday night games at all.

Full Schedule (Times to be announced):
Sept. 5 – at Rutgers
Sept. 12 – SOUTHEAST MISOURI STATE
Sept. 19 – at Oregon State
Sept. 26 – FRESNO STATE
Oct. 3 – at Miami (OH)
Oct. 15 – at USF
Oct. 24 – LOUISVILE
Oct. 31 – at Syracuse
Nov. 7 – CONNECTICUT
Nov. 13 – WEST VIRGINIA
Nov. 28 – ILINOIS
Dec. 5 – at Pittsburgh
