The Cincinnati Enquirer had an outstanding insight in to Greater Cincinnati sports in Sunday's edition. They played off of President Bush's State of the Union Address, scheduled for Monday night, and conducted an on-line survey soliciting fans opinions of local college and pro sports. There were some interesting trends that developed from the nearly 11,000 voters:

COMPLETE RESULTS

--The Bengals received three times more votes than any other catagory with UC Football (not Reds) finishing second

--The Bengals finished 11th out of 12 in fan confidence (that makes Miami football look pretty bad)

--97% percent of UC fans think program is better than it was 2-3 years ago (duh?)

--Xavier Hoops come in second overall in Approval ranking, behind OSU football (nice job Muskies)

--More Miami University votes than the University of Kentucky (where did the Tristate UK fans go)

--More KY Speedway voters than Ohio State (but we still think OSU game should be played in Fountain Square)

--64% think Reds are better than they were 2-3 years ago (that's not saying much)

--61% think Bengals are worse than they were 2-3 years ago (The buzz of Marvin's Jungle Juice is wearing off...and what a hangover it is)
