Victory Bell Up For Grabs Tonight!
The 110th meeting between Cincinnati and Miami is taking place tonight and Unabated Sports will be there! It's one of those special mid-week nationally televised games that can mean so much to the programs involved.
Factors for tonight's game include injury riddled linebackers for Miami and inexperienced players all around for UC, including the quarterback spot.
Last night, we held a special Victory Bell show with MU wide receiver Martin Nance and UC's radio commentator Jim Kelly. We had callers from both sides rise up and show pride in their school. Dave from Mason and Mike from Hamilton were sporting Bearcat Black. Unfortunately, Mike doesn't see UC winning. Travis, Pete, and Phil from Hamilton were flying Miami Red. They all foresee Miami victory. Phil even went old school and propped up the Redskins.
Here's a rundown of what some emailers thought of tonight's match-up:
"Dantonio stays undefeated against Miami and UC extends it's winning streak over MAC schools to 4. UC 32, Miami 28" Andy, Hamilton, OH
"I expect this game to follow the tradition of high scoring games. Definitely Miami is the stronger of the 2 teams going in to the game. UC should get a jump start on the offensive side of things from the pure emotion of the game, as this is definitely a big local rivalry. I think Miami will pull this one out 41-23. Definitely not a close one! Miami's depth and veteran leadership should be the key in this one." Our own Martin.
Unfortunately, I agreed with Martin and see my Bearcats losing 38-24. Jeff called for a 35-17 Miami win.
A couple of our callers will know the outcome first hand, as they picked up tickets to tonights showdown. And if you see us at the game, say hi. We'll give the first few people that recognize us some gift certificates to Crossroad Sports Bar & Grill. Its that easy to win stuff from Unabated Sports. And as always, all new callers and emailers receive a Crossroads gift certificate if they call during our regular time slot on Thursday nights.
We'll be on at our regular time, this Thursday at 8 to break down the Victory Bell game, as well as the other sports happenings.
