Probably more "interesting" to the Cincy fanbase than ours, but still kind of interesting nonetheless:

1) They still absolutely despise Brian Kelly for how he left. They make the esteemed posters of NDN look like we're BK's best friends.

2) The Freeman hire.

3) Mickens played there and, like Freeman, was on the staff for many of their current players.

4) Michael Young starts for them.

5) Denbrock is their OC.

6) They had an argument (not saying it should've been a winning argument, but they could at least legitimately make one, along with A&M) to get into the CFP in the 4th spot. They will likely use that to try to play up the revenge factor.

7) This is my personal opinion, but I still think Fickell could be a good realistic possibility to replace BK in a few years, so it'll be interesting to see how he does in this game.
