This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Only possible meeting is a bowl if both missed the playoffs by Jvan

They haven't looked great lately, but my feeling is they are worn down to an extent because they don't have tons of depth. We could play them next week and win.

The problem with playing them again is they would get a month's rest before a bowl game and have plenty of time to recharge. They are also well coached as we have seen. To say the game wouldn't be close is disrespectful to them and overrates our offense. Left tackle is not a huge problem anymore but the rest of the line (particularly Madden and Lugg) are not that good.

I don't think Cincy belongs on the field with Georgia, Alabama or Ohio State, but neither do we.
