Unabated Sports

It's color coded for your convenience. Miami University if red. Cincinnati is black. Xavier is blue. Just like last year. But we've added two more teams that aren't quite local but will probably draw the interest of area fans. The Ohio State Buckeyes are grey. And Bob Huggins's Kansas State is purple. It's gonna be a valuable resource for me and you might find it interesting, too.

Those are probably the five teams we'll be following the closest at Unabated Sports. did we leave someone out?

1450 AM The Ticket - Cincinnati's ESPN Radio and Fan's Choice Sports Collectibles are giving you, the fan, the opportunity to ask Pete Rose just about anything! Pete will be appearing on Unabated Sports at 6PM on Wednesday November 1st. Hosts Woody and Jeremy intend to make this a very unique interview, avoiding the overused questions Pete always gets about his thoughts on the Hall Of Fame, Steroids and his ban from baseball. During the Interview Woody and Jeremy will select the 3 best/most creative fan submitted questions and ask them to Pete on-air!

So submit your questions NOW by sending an email to askpete@cincinnatisports.com. If Woody and Jeremy ask your question you will receive a free glossy photo of Pete Rose courtesy of Fan's Choice in Kenwood! It's the perfect item to get signed when Pete Rose opens the newest Fan's Choice stores on November 7th!

Can't think of any questions for Pete? Be sure to tune in anyways to 1450 AM WMOH next Wednesday to hear Pete LIVE on Unabated Sports, voted Cincinnati's Best Sports Talk Radio Show!

We've been experiencing some technical difficulties on here, as well as a general lack of content. To be honest, we've been concentrating on the weekly radio show as well as working with Cincinnati Sports to bring you our stuff all week long. So, if you're looking for some original takes on the Queen City sports world, head over there. Not only is there the podcast area which contains their weekly show as well as ours, but articles on the Reds, Bengals, and lots more local teams and any other sports story that might tickle your fancy.

It's time for the 5th oldest rivalry to recommence: Victory Bell time.

Paul Keels, voice of the Buckeyes, will break down the big battle between Texas and THE Ohio State University. And he'll also look ahead to Mark Dantonio's return to the Horseshoe as the Bearcats travel to Ohio State this weekend. We'll also ask him his thoughts on the Bengals as he was the announcer of the team's pre-season games.

Joey Hudson, MAC Defensive Player of the Week, will join us at 7:00. We'll ask him about his big week at Purdue and to preview the MAC opener against Kent State this Saturday. By the way, we'll be giving away sets of tickets to this Miami-Kent State game.

We'll probably be talking about the Cincinnati Reds, too, after last night's win keeps them technically alive. Keep checking back for updates on other potential guests and show topics. And be sure to tune in to Cincinnati's ESPN Radio 1450 The Ticket Thursday night between 6-9 pm. Give us a call at 868-9664 or email us at unabatedsports@gmail.com to have your voice heard.

UPDATE: Just found out we will be joined tonight by Will from Deadspin. He's going to be in town for the Bengals-Browns game so it should be interesting to get his take on the Cincinnati Sports world.

What to do during the other six days of the week that Unabated Sports is not on your radio? Or what do you do if you are one of the unfortunate souls to live outside of the listening range of Cincinnati's ESPN Radio 1450 The Ticket? Is there any hope for you? There is now. Go to our podcasting page! FULL episodes are now available for download.

We've been working with our good friends at Cincinnati Sports to spread our Unabated Goodness across this world wide web of ours. So far, you can get our interviews with Jason Maxiell, the Cincinnati Enquirer's Paul Daugherty, and Gerald Smith talking about EA Sports new NFL Head Coach Game. Keep an eye out for them to be joined by our discussions with Bob Huggins, Carson Palmer, and Madieu Williams. You can also hear a couple editions of Pardon The Horn where we bat around the top stories in the Queen City sports world.

Not only do you get some of the best clips from our show, but the guys at Cincinnati Sports also put out a weekly podcast that are available for download or through an iTunes subscription.

Stay tuned as we work to get you more Unabated Sports that you can take with you anywhere you go with your iPod or mp3 player.

Tonight was the last show for Mark Chalifoux. But if you keep needing more MC, he cranks out columns every week that look at some things on the stranger side of sports. If you remember, we had a psychic on the show a couple weeks ago who channeled baseball's original Hit King (click here to hear the interview with Babe Ruth), but that wasn't enough for MC. He had an extended interview that ran on ESPN.com's Page 2. Add that to the boxing story he did around Memorial Day and our man Mark has an official backlog. Check out the Mark Chalifoux's ESPN.com archive. He's also a big man down at Sports Fan Magazine. And that's not even including the Enquirer editorial taking the Bengals back in the issue of character. So even though he's not behind the Unabated microphone on a full-time basis, you can still get Mark Chalifoux 24 hours a day.

A favorite event of the show, the AVP Cincinnati Open, is coming into town. But, once again, the Bengals and Reds will drive tonight's show. Man, did Carson Palmer look good. Man, have the Reds looked bad. We'll talk about both and break down what to expect for the next couple weeks.

We'll also be talking lots of college football as we preview the upcoming opening weekend of games and the entire season. We'll talk to Tony Castricone from WBNS who will break down Ohio State's National Championship hopes.

Keep checking back for updates on other potential guests and show topics. And be sure to tune in to Cincinnati's ESPN Radio 1450 The Ticket Thursday night between 6-9 pm. Give us a call at 868-9664 or email us at unabatedsports@gmail.com to have your voice heard.

Last year, Unabated Sports ran a fantasy football league where you could go head to head with the members of the show. Well, we're back again. So we're calling all fantasy football players who have the skill, the intelligence, the desire... or a computer... to join up now. It simple, and IT'S FREE. Just email us at unabatedsports@gmail.com and tell us why you belong in the league.

It's a good chance to have some fun and smack talk live on the air. Woody will be looking to go deeper in the playoffs this year... and Jeff will just be looking to make the playoffs. So email us now. Do it. Hurry, the season is quickly upon us. Tell your neighbors. Tell your friends. Tell your neighbors friends and your friends neighbors. It's a blast.

The NCAA players are allowed to start practicing this week as Mignight Madnesses and other such celebrations are going on this upcoming weekend. We really haven't gotten into college basketball on this site but that is sure to change as it's my feeling this is a NCAA basketball town. As such, let me cut the ribbon on the Bearcat, Muskateer, Buckeye, Hoosier, Redhawk, and Wildcat talk with a look back at a 2006-2007 preview.

It may have been summer vacation on campuses across America but Andy Katz is always in college bball mode. He was running a Summer Sessions list that counted down his top teams for the upcoming season. And some local notables have made appearances:

It looks like Katz is drinking the purple Kool-Aid as he put Huggins in his top 35. Sure, Huggs will take that program to new heights. But can a school that's not near a decent airport or any major form of civilization draw the top talent away from other more atractive destinations?

The Muskies are just outside the Top 40. If I remember right, Fox Sports was higher on Xavier but I can't find the link to back that up.

It's be interesting to see UC ended up off of A.K.'s radar. They were not so good here. Are you kidding me?! Cincinnati is #98 of 144 teams?! I'll take the under on that ranking.

Okay, no need to get fired up yet. We're haven't even hit football season and are still two months away from Midnight Madness. But it looks like we're going to be in for another exciting college basketball season around these parts.

By now, you've probably been shut out in your attempt to track down those ever-popular Big Red Machine Bobbleheads. Fortunately for you, we here at Unabated Sports are coming to the rescue. The kind folks at Matthew 25 Ministries set aside a set for us to give away any way we deemed fit. (click here to hear our interview with Tim Mettey about the bobbleheads) And this is what we decided:

In 100 words or less, tell us: "What Would You Do If you Were The Commissioner Of Cincinnati Sports?" Creativity and entertainment are encouraged. Write it down and email it to us at unabatedsports@gmail.com and then listen to next week's show between 6-9 on Cincinnati's ESPN Radio 1450 The Ticket. We'll announce the winner of the essay that struck us as the funniest, best, or the one that uses the biggest words.

Get to work and you might have this sweet collection to add to your collection.
