Last Night's Xavier-Cincinnati Game Started In A Remarkably Different Manner Than Last Year's Ended
Cincinnati continued its undefeated run to start the 2012-2013 college basketball season with a 60-45 win last night over Xavier in the Crosstown Rivalry.

ESPN's Jenn Brown Doesn't Think Highly Of Bitch Butch Jones
The perils of live sideline reporting are such that even if you catch yourself calling a coach named Butch a bitch (as in, Jones of Cincinnati), a lot of people notice. And giggle. And take video of it and send it in to websites that may or may not post a six-second snippet of said slip....
