In the What Else Is New Department, UE never releases injury reports to the fan board. In spite of that, someone on the fan board always seems to know anyway. Big Ben isn't playing tonight. Make your plans accordingly. I will be watching the game. While the news of the injury is hard to swallow, the result of not having him available can be seen as an opportunity. How effective is the depth of this team? We will have some of that answer by 8pm. I can't recall an injury free season. I am impressed with the players who will get a share of Ben's minutes added to their own. A win without Ben is even sweeter. Besides, isn't the color of tonight's road uniform the bigger story? To keep the peace, let's hope it's orange.

Although I do recall having success in a big road game in Lexington rocking the the purples. Go Aces!

Didn’t Anthony mention he was working remotely at his parents home due to a family circumstance or something to that effect this week? That may be why he’s not on top of it.

So I am cruising the internet and a sports headline popped up "cincinnati gets 11th non-conference win over Evansville on Friday" supposedly from the Cincinnati Enquirer. I'm thinking, shoot it was an afternoon game and I missed it. Nope. I go to enquirer site... headline "5 takeaways from UC Bearcats 11th Win Over Evansville." Then it disappears as they show an ad and want you to subscribe. If I can read the article that gives a final score and it matches the game tonight then that might prove we're all living in a progammed computer simulation...WTF

Scott Springer of the Cincinnati Enquirer has two sentences to start his 'post game' article on tonight's game. Refers to UC winning and starts to expand on it. Maybe he's up against a deadline. Seems like a mistake that this can be seen on their site. Would be a shame if he had to rewrite the beginning of his article.

Are we more upset Anthony didn't confirm a message board rumor or a sister paper in Cincinnati is already posting a W? This is total BS, smacks of Dewey beats Truman.
Since we have one probable injury and the game is already decided, we probably shouldn't even show up and risk another one.
I wonder if Scott will tell us if we kept it close?
I hope this is in the locker room.

Well who is starting in his place Cuff or Bailey? I was wondering that myself. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it be Josh Hughes with Cincinnatis size.

A newspaper can’t report on something without confirming it is actually true. That’s journalism 101, and that separates actual new outlets from a bunch of guys on the internet. Unless UE confirms it, Anthony can’t write it. Beyond that, the story was no doubt written before we read the rumors on the board. This does highlight a difference between pro and college sports. If we were a pro team, we would have to list players as day to day or doubtful or out for the game. I will say that through multiple coaches and administrations, we have never been especially forthcoming about this kind of thing - including whether a player is redshirting. It is poor journalism to report innuendo and rumor. The differences here are in the definition of "can" and "should". I just want to clarify -- as somebody who really did take Journalism 101 -- everything depends on credibility. You can publish anything you want, but you are not immune to the consequences.
