I realize that there are those of you out there that love Bob Huggins and hate Nancy Zimpher. In actuality, I guess I am one of you, but there is a huge difference. I have stayed a fan of the University of Cincinnati Men's Basketball team.

When Huggy-Bear was ousted, I was just as mad as the rest of you. When Nancy had that press conference in her fishnet stockings, I was just as disgusted as the rest of you. But when so many of you jumped ship, so many of us have stayed on.

The year Andy Kennedy took over, I was at every home NIT game, cheering and screaming for my team.

Last year, when Mick took over, it was difficult and when they were losing, it would have been easy to say "so long". But no, we tried and true Bearcat fans stuck it out.

And now, after the second upset of a top 20 team in a week, we are basking in the future - and it is bright.

Not only are the guys winning, but they are doing so in fine fashion. It has been a long time since I have seen a Bearcats' team run an offense. They are patient, they let the game come to them, they don't force three-pointers and bad shots. They work the ball low, throw it back out, and work for a good shot. Man, it's pretty - so pretty. Kudos to Mick Cronin and what he has done for this program. Keep it up Mick!!

And to all of you that want to hop on the bandwagon - you better hurry because it's filling up. But don't wear your Kansas State garbage to my team's game. That ugly purple hurts my eyes.

To those of you that would like to whine and cry about Huggins and Zimpher - please continue, but don't talk to me. It's been a long time since that whole thing went down, and we have a new era now. Huggins is gone, long gone, and quite honestly, the program is better off. Get over it.

In the meantime, I'll grab up those tickets that you all don't buy and watch an improving team play better and better every game and think of you every time Kansas State loses and when we beat West Virginia.
