Need something to jump-start summer reading?
Summer reading used to be commonplace among youngsters, but now there are other distractions. Editor Don Whitten suggests two books – "Theodore Boone: The Abduction" by John Grisham and "The Sword of Darrow" by the father-son duo of Hal and Alex Malchow – that might be just the ticket to get people reading this summer. (June 24, 2011, Page 4A)
Is the media world ready for two Schnuggs?
Perhaps you've noticed the name "Schnugg" a bit more often the last few issues of The Oxford EAGLE? It's because Amanda Schnugg has joined her mother, Staff Writer Alyssa Schnugg, as a member of the news team via a summer internship. Alyssa Schnugg is not surprised and is very proud to welcome her daughter to the profession. (June 23, 2011, Page 4)
We're definitely a gadget-oriented society
Cell phone? Desktop computer? Laptop? MP3 player or iPod? Game console? The list goes on for items in a recent survey, and Editor Don Whitten takes a look at how "connected" he in today's electronic age and wonders how many gadgets most folks possess. (June 22, 2011, Page 4)
What kind of news are you looking for?
What's the news of the day? Weather? The Mid-East? The economy? Congress and the president? Or is it, as some would have you think, a murder trial in Florida and a New York Congressman resigning? Editor Don Whitten takes a look at how national and international news seems to rank these days with some media outlets. (June 20, 2011, Page 4)
Relationships with fathers change through the years
When you're really young, your father looks after you, takes care of you and gives you things. A few years later, he's the one who teaches you to ride a bike, catch a fish and learn about discipline. Editor Don Whitten explores those changes in relationships between children and their fathers as we get set to honor our fathers this weekend. (June 17, 2011, Page 4A)
Daly entertainment at TPC Southwind
Sometimes you have to experience something to have a full appreciation for it. That's the case for professional golf and for the excitement and entertainment John Daly provides, Assistant News Editor Jeff Eubanks writes in a look back at his trips to Memphis for the FedEx St. Jude Classic. (June 16, 2011, Page 4A)
A 're-user' is trying to learn to be a 'recycler'
Editor Don Whitten admits he's not the best in the world at recycling, but says he's learning. He takes a look back at when recycling was actually "re-using" items, remembering multiple uses for cans, bottles, jars, et cetera. (June 15, 2011, Page 4)
With 'friends' like Mark, who needs …
Editor Don Whitten writes about an email message that somehow got past his spam filter recently, noting that it appears scammers must be having a tough time with the economy, too, if they're continuing to go after folks like him who never respond. (June 13, 2011, Page 4)
Summer fun – doesn't it seem contagious?
Have you noticed how certain things are contagious and make you want to join in on the fun? Editor Don Whitten takes a look at three of his favorites: fishing, homemade ice cream and sitting in the shade visiting. (June 10, 2011, Page 4A)
Another mouseketeer in Mickey's army
Never been to Disney World and all of its attractions? Wonder why those that have get almost glassy-eyed when talking about their visit? News Editor Jonathan Scott moves from one group to the other after helping take a load of Girl Scouts to "the happiest place on Earth" and he writes about his conversion from skeptic to loyal mouseketeer. (June 9, 2011, Page 4)

I was in Singapore a few months ago both on assignment and for a private workshop; one of the things I've always enjoyed photographing is abstraction in reflection: there is no simpler decomposition of the image to shape, texture and colour than this. Fortunately, the weather was obliging on one of the days, and there's plenty of such opportunities in Singapore. Despite what you might think, I shot quite a lot more than just the usual buildings in buildings…in fact, you'll notice the second half of the set is quite a bit more whimsical and less brutalist/formalist.
Photoessay: Reflections on Singapore
Photoessay: The Verticality Project
'Project'-type photography – images shot to a theme as an exercise or assignment or with a view to an eventual exhibition – is generally a good way to motivate you to shoot if you're stuck for inspiration. It narrows down the entire universe of possible subjects to just a few, or one. Or a single style. That restriction prevents the mental anguish of overload: either too many things to shoot, or nothing that really stands out in a visual barrage. If you've extensively shot the place you live in, it's probably the former; the result is that you don't land up photographing unless you take a trip or there's an event – i.e. something out of the ordinary. The latter is what happens during that trip: perhaps there's no inspiration, or there are just too many possible subjects, which result in a photographer losing focus and making a weak portfolio. Focus of effort is therefore generally a good idea. Believe it or not, this is actually the first intensely focused project of its sort I've attempted.
Photoessay: Tokyo architecture
Buildings, architecture and abstract geometry are amongst my favourite subjects. Actually, I got that back to front: the idea of abstraction and deconstruction of composition into considerations of pure colour and form is probably the underlying linkage between all of my images. As a result, buildings and architecture rank high on my list of preferred subjects because they are very conducive for doing just that: they're static, so you can take your time with the composition; they reflect their environments – or not – and change in personality as changing light plays off different surfaces and textures in different ways; finally, there are always interesting details incorporate into the structures which are a reflection of their architects; much as a photograph is a reflection of the photographer.
Photoessay: Architectural juxtapositions
I'm pretty sure none of the architects or designers involved with this project could have envisioned the sightlines I used for these images, or if they did, it's almost uncertain that they would have been able to forsee the changes in the environment surrounding the buildings. Some believe that photography is no more than a derivative work of somebody else's primary creation; I of course disagree – and that will be the subject of a future article.
FD Photoessay: Urban abstracts in monochrome
It's been a little while since I posted any images from Kuala Lumpur; the truth is that I don't actually shoot that much in my home city these days. Partially it's because I feel I've really plumbed the depths of most parts of the city; partially it's because I try to keep some potential in reserve for when I have to go out and review a camera – finding new material in a city in which you've shot close to 200,000 frames is actually quite tough.
Photoessay: The architectural details of Amsterdam
Following one from part one – part two focuses on the little touches that add character to a building, and if done well, reflect a little of the society that created them. I like to think of them as stamps or quirks of individuality, and something which I consciously look for when I travel to places with a strong design culture.
FD Photoessay: Amsterdam architecture, part one
No words today, just a series of images for you to enjoy. Various architectural details from my last trip to Amsterdam, shot with the Hasselblad 501C, 80/2.8 CF T* on Fuji Acros. Some of you may recognize these images from the November print sale; others may be enjoying a large print on their walls :) MT
These images were made during the October 2013 Making Outstanding Images Workshop in Amsterdam; I will be holding three more of these in Melbourne, Sydney and London later this year. Click here for more info, and to sign up.
FD Photoessay: Perbadanan Putrajaya and the Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque
One of my favourite buildings in the country is the Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque – also known as the Iron Mosque due to its stainless-steel clad structure. It's a very modern building located in the administrative capital, Putrajaya, that still manages to integrate traditional culture and religious cues into its design. These, together with its scale, location on the Putrajaya lakefront and sight lines, make it quite a spectacular building.
On Assignment: architecture by night
Sometimes, one is given some pretty sweet assignments. Quite near the top of that list is a commission to photograph beautiful buildings by one of the country's – arguably the world's, too – leading architects with the rare thing of a completely open creative brief. This is the position I found myself in a couple of months ago, camera bag in one hand, Mother Of All (somewhat portable) Tripods in the other, and sheaf of permission letters and permits from Hijjas Kasturi Associates tucked away safe inside the camera bag just in case.
Photoessay: KLCC abstracts in monochrome
Half of perhaps the most iconic building in Malaysia.
Rather frustratingly, I'd actually typed out a long history about KLCC, but WordPress ate it and it's nowhere to be found. Here we go again…
The Petronas Twin Towers – 88 stories, and part of the greater KLCC complex (including a park, two hotels, conventionn center, mall, mosque and another two office blocks) – put Malaysia on the map for megaprojects. Opened in 1998, the towers were designed by Cesar Pelli and completed by competing Korean and Japanese firms. It was paid for entirely by petroleum revenues from the eponymous national oil company; during the Asian Financial Crisis, occupancy was low – again with the exception of the name tenant – these days, things are back to normal and space is at a hideous premium, even on an international level. Architecturally, the site is challenging as it's a former racecourse with very little bedrock and a lot of clay and porous limestone; this is the main reason for putting the taller, heavier structures around the periphery. Even so, extensive piling and foundation works had to be done, and many of the lower basement levels underneath the main towers are filled with concrete to settle the ground and form a floating slab on which some of the other outlying structures sit.

State Dance Team: Bombers ready for new challenge
For a decade, Cannon Falls had been the cream of the crop in Class 1A High Kick. Since 2004, the Bombers has won six Class 1A High Kick titles (2013, 2011, 2009, 2007, 2006, 2005) and taken runner-up honors four times in that stretch (2012, 2010, 2008, 2004).
But this year, Cannon Falls made the leap to Class 2A.
"We got bumped into 2A by one student and we're the smallest school in 2A," said Cannon Falls head coach Madi Salisbury.

Year Opened: 1966 | Field Surface: Natural Grass
The university originally was named North Carolina A&M and its nickname was the Farmers. The Farmers played their first official football game against Tennessee in 1893, winning 12-6 in Raleigh. The team played on whatever university grounds happened to be available until 1907, when it enjoyed the first opportunity to play in an actual stadium. The Farmers had by then come to be called the Red Terrors, who played that championship season at New Athletic Park -- later to be known as Riddick Stadium. The student body had voted in 1912 to name the venue for Wallace Carl Riddick, who coached the football team in its 1898 and 1899 seasons.
Riddick Stadium closed shop for N.C. State -- at that point dubbed the Wolfpack -- at season's end in 1965, culminating with a 3-0 victory over Florida State. A new venue, originally named Carter Stadium in honor of two university graduates -- Wilbert J. "Nick" Carter and Harry C. Carter -- debuted Oct. 8, 1966, to a 31-21 loss to South Carolina. The next season Carter Stadium opened with a jamboree doubleheader of the "Big Four" in North Carolina. State beat UNC, 13-7, in the afternoon game and the night game had Duke defeating Wake Forrest 31-13.
The facility was renamed in 1978, when the surname of Albert E. Finley -- a local businessman, former Army second lieutenant and strong supporter of Wolfpack athletics -- was added to its title. Carter-Finley Stadium now seats more than 57,000 fans.
In 1977 and 1978, the Wolfpack were led in tackles by a relentless linebacker from Pennsylvania named Bill Cowher, who would later go on to coach the NFL's Steelers for 15 seasons. His Pittsburgh teams reached the Super Bowl twice and won eight divisional titles.

An 18-year-old Invercargill teenager was yesterday jailed for his role in a serious assault in Russell Square last year.
Hetaraka Phillipson Heita, 18, appeared before Judge Michael Crosbie for causing grievous bodily harm to Martin Keen with intent to injure on October 28, and stealing $60 petrol from Caltex Savoy and receiving a scooter knowing it was stolen on October 26.
He was sentenced to two years and three months' jail.
Judge Crosbie said the victim had left a party, stopped at a dairy, and starting walking north along Elles Rd before entering Russell Square. While walking across the park he was attacked by three people, one of whom was Heita, who ran out of the bushes with clenched hands, he said.
The group began punching him around the head and body before Mr Keen swung a shopping bag at them, he said.
The group continued to kick and punch him, knocking him to the ground where he lay unconscious, Judge Crosbie said.
He suffered a broken nose, a fractured left eye socket, an injury to his chin, six lumps on his head, sore left triceps, back and ribs, he said.
Two members of the public heard his cries for help, ran to the scene and one of them yelled at the group to leave or he would call police. He called an ambulance and the other man approached the group and called them cowards. He was dealt with by another member of the group.
All three aggressors fled the scene. Heita admitted punching and kicking the main victim when spoken to by police, Judge Crosbie said.
Heita's lawyer, Mike Newell, said the offending occurred when Heita, who was 17 at the time, was drinking. He acknowledged the first punches were thrown by him.
Mr Newell said he believed Heita was genuinely remorseful.
Judge Crosbie said Heita had written a letter of apology to the victim and a letter to him saying he felt terrible for what he had done.
The attack was unprovoked and cowardly, Judge Crosbie said.
"Random unprovoked attacks by groups on others will be dealt with severely . . . the people of Invercargill are entitled to feel safe on the streets of the city."

Nicki Minaj's new single is here.
"Pills N Potions" is the first official cut from the singer's new album, The Pink Print, which is set to be released later this year.
Produced by Dr. Luke (the man behind some of Katy Perry, Britney Spears, and Miley Cyrus' biggest hits) the track is a happy compromise between Minaj's pop persona and rap roots.

falling snow and crackling fire
I was appreciative of our hosts to open their doors to just under 20 of us a bit earlier than their regular hours. It was a chilly and rainy morning, I snagged a seat around the fire pit, obviously so did some of the others! Guess which feet are Jim's our proud leader? I loved the glass that my coffee was served in and I really enjoyed the avocado poppers for lunch. patti kirch

Practicing perspectives at Beaver Bark
It was so much fun and challenging at Beaver Bark sketching. I could've been there forever, if my energy level allowed me.
I stayed outside of its building to practice sketching perspectives.

"Food Trucks in John Dam Plaza, Richland, WA"
We met this morning in John Dam Plaza in Richland, WA., to sketch the food trucks there. Food trucks are just beginning to catch on here in the Tri-Cities (Kennewick, Pasco, Richland) and we wanted to get our sketching in near the ground floor of all the planning and excitement. Though there are only 16 sketchers in the pic, we had 18 this morning: a new record.
Check out our outing, and who we are, in an article published in the TriCityHerald this morning.

A nice day at John Dam Plaza
I am afraid of sketching cars/trucks and people, so I wasn't planning on going to the event. I am glad that I changed my mind and went, because I had a really good time there sketching.
I have not posted here for a very long time, so I guess I have to show my feeble attempt here, before I get kicked out.
I took these pictures under a lamp, so they looked yellowish.

This Feels Urban :)
Sketching in John Dam Plaza this morning with the Tri City Urban Sketchers felt like we have a little bit of urban life going on here in the T.C. Now to go back and taste the food!

Columbia Park's Playground of Dreams - 02/18/15
A very crisp, sunny day in February in Kennewick's Playground of Dreams. This is a haven for anyone under the age of 10 and a Godsend for moms, dads and grandparents with little ones going crazy with cabin fever! I saw/heard several small kids with their adults obviously having a ball inside. I chose a prime vantage point right in front of the entrance for my sketch. Unfortunately, my "prime" spot was in the shade and it got really cold. Trying to sketch with gloves on wasn't working very well so I would sketch with one glove on my left hand and take sips of hot coffee with my right!

Columbia Park: The Old Lagoon
Every time I go here, I have to sit and let the nostalgia blanket over me. As a teenager in the mid-sixties, this was the "go-to" place in the summer, filled with teens from Pasco, Kennewick and Richland, Washington, swimming, sun-bathing, eating hot-dogs and ice cream, and drinking pop from the concession stand (which is still there, but boarded up). We called it the "Lagoon" - today it is the Fish Pond - so much for romanticism and excitement...
The road leading into the lagoon was a dirt-road filled with deep potholes. You had to be careful driving in, especially if you drove an old car like most of us did in those days. As the years rolled by the water was found to be polluted from the septic tanks up on the hill in the distance where I left out all the homes that line the ridge. And it was closed to us human forms for anything other than the relaxation one gets from the peacefulness (minus the road noise from the freeway).
So when I sit here, I see all the girls in their bikinis, the guys out on the floating dock in the middle jumping off the edges, the yelling, and the laughter, and all the old cars and hot rods that used to line the edges. Makes me wonder where they all went.
Gone are the Days.
Columbia Park Playground of Dreams
Since we were there on a school day at 10am, there wasn't a kid anywhere in sight at the Playground of Dreams down in Columbia Park this morning. This fort looking play area was built about 8 or 9 years ago with community donated funds. Almost as soon as it was finished, it burned to the ground, then rebuilt. On a warm, sunny day, when school is out, the place crawls with kids. It is a great place for them to play.

I do like the shampoo from this line. But here I also have to pull the high rating down- this conditioner does not work for my hair. My hair It's not very damaged and natural- but this conditioner produces more tangles than before using this stuff. It makes the hair soft but also kind of dry. A strange conditioner to my opinion. I would not repurchase. However- two lippies cause its not the most horrible condi I ever tried and the smell is nice.

Usually I wait a while to review a product so i can really see how it works over time, but I've used this conditioner twice and it has already dramatically improved the feeling of my hair. You see, my hair is fine, dry, and super brittle. I have tried paul mitchell, bumble&bumble, redken, sebastian, morrocanoil and countless masks and have not felt softness in my hair in about a year. Until the other day- when I bought this conditioner. I've used it twice and my hair is shiny, supple, and elastic again and I am so happy I could just cry! I know it is expensive, but i got a gigantic pump bottle for $16 at TJ Maxx and that is a great deal. Smells nice too- like apple. Love this!!!

Ive been using this conditioner on and off for years but I always go back to it so for now on Im sticking with it. Im sick of the conditioners that make my hair greesy or weighed down feeling. This never lets me down. Infact Im so impressed Ive got myself the shampoo (the color therapy K pak version). Leaves hair with just the right amount of moisture and shine!

I have used this product for a while and have had great results. My hair is long and fine as well as color-treated and over-styled and this conditioner used regularly seems to erase or prevent all the damage I do to my hair.
What really sold me on the product is when I switched to a different brand (Big Sexy Soymilk- it was on sale) and I noticed my hair just not springing back after the color treatments and styling. This conditioner doesn't work wonders after one use but if used consistently seems to make a big difference for damaged hair.

I have never used conditioners regularly because I can get acne form it easily after rinsing well.
But once my hair was damaged by dying I took a rise and try this conditioner.
This is moisturising and light enough and I can use it everyday to prevent tangled hair and it didn't casue any pimple on my face..
Sadly, it could not mend my hair, I used it as maintainence for everyday then I'd use Joico Deep Penetrating tratment for repair.

I didn't love this product at first. It was definitely a change from my usual drug store brand. However, if you give it time it does wonders for fine/dry hair. I would also like to add that a lot of the people that didn't like it failed to consider it may not have been the right salon product for their hair. It was recommended to me specifically because I have very fine and very dry hair. It's certainly not for everyone.
Simply put:
Do I think this product is good? Yes.
Will it work the same for everyone? No.

I always tend to look for miraculous products when it comes to my hair, and everytime I end up disappointed and I return to this product.
I use it as a daily conditioner, and I find it leaves my hair smooth, shiny, and it looks healthy. It actually does what it says, unlike those other brands that claim miracles and deliver none.
I also used it to wash hair extensions a few times, and it worked just fine.
My hair is actually pretty damaged because of over-styling (is that even a word?) but this conditioner makes it look healthy and my hair is extremely easy to work with afterwards.
Overall, this is an extremely good product for the price, and I would recommend it to all hair types.

This is a brilliant product and I can't wait to buy more! I used this with its matching shampoo in the hope it would help my poor, tortured hair that had gone from bleached blonde to dark brown. I have noticed a huge improvement in my hair. It is much more manageable and split ends are significantly fewer!! One of the best products I have ever used.

This doesn't agree with my hair type at all. It makes my hair so tangly and dull, almost mushy in a way. My hair isn't in terrible shape, I am sure it could be better, but it isn't awful by any means. I have fine, long, color treated hair and I thought this would be good to use once a week so I bought the huge bottle on sale. It does condition....but the sorry state it leaves my hair in is pathetic. Also the scent really puts me off. I used it the day after a night of indulging in about two too many cocktails and it made me sick. It's almost like a synthetic banana scent to me. Not great, hungover or not. I may use this every now and again on my ends but other than that I won't rebuy,

Lancaster shares in £39 million for UK energy efficiency research
Story supplied by LU Press Office
Lancaster University is leading one of only five new research centres in the UK that will look into the complexities of energy use across society.
The End Use Energy Demand research centres will receive over £26 million funding from two research councils, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), and a further £13 million from industrial partners.
They will look at how energy can be both saved and used more efficiently, supporting energy efficiency policy and contributing to cutting carbon use and greenhouse gas emissions in the UK.
Lancaster's Centre, DEMAND: Dynamics of Energy, Mobility and Demand, will work on transport and building-related energy use, focusing on how energy demand is made and met.
DEMAND will be directed by Professor Elizabeth Shove (Department of Sociology), with Professor Gordon Walker (Lancaster Environment Centre) as co-director, and will involve researchers at Lancaster across three faculties.
The five year research programme involves working in partnership with the Institute of Transport Studies at Leeds, the European Centre and Labs for Energy Efficiency Research at EDF R&D based in Paris and with researchers at the universities of Aberdeen, Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, Reading, Sheffield, Sussex and UCL.
It will create new methods of data analysis, integrate historical research with energy-demand planning, and assess whether innovations in technology and infrastructure will work in the real world. The Centre's research focuses on basic questions about what energy is for and how patterns of consumption and practice change.
This approach will allow organisations engaged in demand management and in radically reconfiguring infrastructures, buildings and transport systems to better meet greenhouse gas emissions targets.
Energy and Climate Change Minister Greg Barker said: "We have now put energy efficiency at the very heart of the Government's energy policy. Using energy more wisely is absolutely vital in a world of increased pressure on resources and rising prices. Not only can energy efficiency help save money on bills and cut emissions, it can support green jobs, innovation and enterprise.
"The five new End Use Energy Demand centres launched today will play an important role in improving our understanding of how energy is used across the nation, helping us learn more about what needs to be done to change consumer and business behaviour. I wish these centres every success and look forward to seeing the results."

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. Studies have shown that surgery combined with Intraperitoneal Hyperthermic Chemotherapy (IPHC) can improve survival rates for select patients with peritoneal carcinoma (cancer of the lining of the abdominal cavity) that has spread from colorectal or appendix cancer.
Researchers from Wake Forest University School of Medicine will present findings from two studies on the use of IPHC in treating peritoneal cancer that has spread from these two primary cancer sites at the annual meeting of the Society of Surgical Oncology in Chicago, March 13-16.
John H. Stewart, IV, M.D., assistant professor of surgery, section of surgical oncology, reports March 13 on the results of a study evaluating toxicity when combining surgery and IPHC using oxaliplatin as the chemotherapy agent in patients with peritoneal cancer which originated as colorectal or appendix cancer.
A large body of literature suggests that oxaliplatin is superior to other chemotherapy agents in killing colorectal cancer cells, said Stewart. Further, we have previously demonstrated that the cancer-killing effects of oxaliplatin are increased when the agent is heated during perfusion.
The purpose of the phase I study was to establish the maximum tolerated dose of oxaliplatin used in IPHC treating colorectal and appendix cancers that have spread to the peritoneum.
Fifteen patients were enrolled in the study at two dose levels, 200 mg/m and 250 mg/m. At the maximum tolerated dose of 200 mg/m, only two significant toxicities were encountered. More severe toxicities were observed in patients receiving 250 mg/m.
Researchers concluded that IPHC with 200 mg/m of oxaliplatin is well tolerated and is the maximally tolerated dose for a two-hour chemoperfusion.
Based on the data from this phase I study, we propose to conduct a larger trial with oxaliplatin dose to study its efficacy in improving outcomes in patients with peritoneal c

Casseus Hopes To Be Man In The Middle
Remember the old advertising slogan, "With a name like Smuckers it has to be good!"
I guess when your name is the combination of two sports legends; you're bound to be an athlete.
Like Bearcats linebacker Clemente Casseus.
"I have a unique name," he told me. "It's like Roberto Clemente and Cassius Clay. It's a sports name so I'm thankful for it.
"My father got me a big poster of Muhammad Ali (formerly Cassius Clay). It's in my room and I look at it every day when I wake up in the morning."
This coming season, the Bearcats will be looking to Casseus to "float like a butterfly and sting like a bee" as he takes over the middle linebacker position from Jeff Luc who led the American Athletic Conference in tackles and forced fumbles last season.
"Those are big shoes to fill – both in terms of production and physically," said linebackers coach Jeff Koonz. "Clemente has embraced the role. He wants this and you can tell that he's passionate about the opportunity."
"There have been big shoes to fill at that position for a long time with JK Schaffer, Greg Blair, and now Jeff Luc," said Casseus. "A lot of hard work and faith have brought me to this point, so I'm grateful for the opportunity to be the middle linebacker."
Ironically, he would not have had the opportunity without an injury.
Casseus was four games into his senior season when he suffered a season-ending elbow injury at Miami (FL) last year. In February he was granted an extra year of eligibility from the NCAA due to medical hardship.
"I guess if it's ever fortunate to lose a guy in the middle of the season, it's going to help this team because he got that fifth year," said head coach Tommy Tuberville. "He's been in a lot of games at linebacker and he was one of our best special teams' players. It's good to have him back."
"I wasn't really happy that it happened, but I am grateful for the extra year," said Casseus. "We prayed about it and got blessed with another year, so it's an amazing opportunity."
"He's was going to be one of the seniors we lost last year and it just kind of worked out," said Koonz.
Casseus is from Miami and turned down scholarship offers from smaller college programs to attend Cincinnati as a preferred walk-on.
"My father asked me before I came up here if I thought I could play college football and I told him, 'Yes.'" Clemente told me. "I was prepared to come up here and earn a scholarship no matter what it took."
After paying out-of-state tuition for two years, Casseus received a full scholarship before his junior season.
"It was really tough on my family," said Casseus. "We stuck through it and prayed about it and it was a blessing when we finally got a scholarship. I'm thankful to Coach Tuberville and the staff.
"I was emotional. I called my mom and she cried a little bit. I called my dad and he was very excited that we didn't have to pay for school anymore."
Now the kid with the unique name gets a chance to make a name for himself in the middle of the Bearcats defense.
"Not just on the field, but the leadership part too," said Coach Koonz. "Jeff Luc brought a lot to the team and Casseus is trying to step in and be that guy. He's the catalyst in the linebacker room right now and that's going to spread to the entire defense. It's been fun to watch."

DeBerry Comes Up Huge In Tourney Win Over Purdue
On Friday morning I asked Coreontae DeBerry to draw an outline of his hand on a piece of paper. Here's a photo of my normal-sized hand in front of Cory's outline.
"I didn't know that he had bigger hands than Dr. J until I shook his hand for the first time and said, 'Oh my goodness,'" said head coach Mick Cronin. "It's unbelievable."
"He has the biggest hands in the world," said Farad Cobb.
Fittingly, the man with mammoth mitts earned a big hand from Bearcats fans in Thursday's 66-65 overtime win over Purdue.
When Octavius Ellis was ejected early in the second half for committing a flagrant foul, Cincinnati needed DeBerry to stay on the floor for the rest of the game to defend Purdue's 7-footers A.J. Hammons and Isaac Haas. The 6'9", 275 pound junior played all but 50 seconds of the final 21:22 (including overtime).
"After we told Octavius, 'Don't worry about (getting ejected),' we turned to Cory and said, 'Time to step up. We need some big minutes from you and you're ready for it,'" said Cobb.
DeBerry played a season-high 26 minutes which was five more minutes than his previous three games combined.
"I was really, really tired but I knew that my team needed me the most when Octavius got thrown out of the game," said DeBerry.
"I told him that he could worry about being tired after the game," said Shaq Thomas.
DeBerry didn't only protect the paint on defense. He scored a career-high 13 points including a balletic reverse layup with 3:08 left in overtime that gave Cincinnati the lead for good.
"The last time I hit that shot was in high school," said DeBerry. "When I got the ball I just looked to score. I saw an open spot and I went to it."
"That was sick," said Cobb. "I was like, 'That's got to be a Top 10 highlight to see a big dude do a move like that.' I was hyped."
"He looked like a point guard," said Jermaine Sanders. "He looked like he was about 6 feet tall, 180 pounds the way he was moving."
DeBerry's performance was undoubtedly a shock for Purdue, but Cincinnati's players and coaches claim that they weren't surprised.
"I knew that it was going to come out sooner or later because I practice against him every day," said Ellis. "That's why it was very exciting to see him play like that last night."
"I knew he had it in him," said Cronin. "It's our job to get it out of him. That's what they pay us for. With all due respect to my buddy Doug Kecman who is out there coaching the Seven Hills girls' team, he's an amateur and we're professionals. We're well-paid and we have to get it out of him.
"Probably the biggest thing I remember Coach Pitino saying all the time is that you never lament about your players – your job is to find a way to get it out of them. Cory's got it in him. We just have to keep finding a way to get it out of him."
On Saturday, DeBerry, Ellis, and Gary Clark will have to contend with the biggest team in college basketball. Kentucky has three starters that are 6'10" or taller and brings a 7-footer off of the bench.
"They need to protect the paint and make them shoot tough shots," said Cobb. "And then as a team, we all need to get in there and help them get rebounds."
"Everybody in this locker room is going to have to rebound," said Thomas. "We can't just rely on Cory, Octavius, and Gary to get rebounds; it's going to have to come from the guards too."
"We're a tough team and we don't back down to anyone," said DeBerry. "We're just going to go out there and give it our best effort."
Coreontae has rarely been accused of not giving a full effort. In fact, in middle school when he couldn't find a baseball mitt to fit his already-giant hand, he volunteered to play the outfield without a glove.
"I said, 'I'm just going to go barehanded,'" said DeBerry. "The teacher said, 'Are you sure? It's going to hurt.' I said, 'I'm fine.' I caught three fly balls in the outfield. It worked out fine."

After Bailing Out His Coach, Gantz Seeks Perfection
Perhaps the most exciting moment in Cincinnati's 2014 football season was the 47-yard game-winning field goal by redshirt freshman Andrew Gantz to beat ECU under frigid weather conditions.
"Just being able to share that moment with my parents will probably be one of the best memories of my entire life," Gantz told me after a spring football practice last week. "You don't really get many opportunities like that and to have a game-winner my freshman year was a pretty big moment in my life so far. It's an indescribable feeling."
Head coach Tommy Tuberville has no trouble describing how he felt at the time.
Cincinnati had a five point lead with 2:03 left in the game when Tuberville elected to go for a first down on fourth-and-2 from the Bearcats' 33-yard line. An option pitch lost six yards and ECU scored a go-ahead touchdown with 1:02 remaining. Fortunately for Cincinnati, Gantz answered with his clutch field goal with 15 seconds on the clock.
"I made an idiotic call to go for it on fourth down," said Tuberville with a laugh. "And then there was the bad play call by (offensive coordinator) Eddie Gran to run the speed option. Even my son Tucker called me from Auburn and said, 'Dad, that was the worst decision I've ever seen.' I said, 'I agree.' But Andrew dug me out of a hole where I didn't have to spend about three weeks apologizing."
The field goal was the longest that Gantz made as a freshman.
"I wasn't as worried about the kick as I was the snap and the hold in 15 degree weather," said Tuberville. "And we absolutely blew the protection on the right side. We let a guy come so free that he out-ran the ball and we kicked it over his head. It was meant to be."
The Centerville H.S. grad won the kicking job last year after a nip-and-tuck training camp battle with senior Tony Miliano and went on to have a great first season, making 16 of 20 field goals and earning second-team All-American Athletic Conference honors.
"I wouldn't necessarily say that I had a great season – I had a good season," said Gantz. "Honestly, I wasn't that happy with how I finished. I think I missed four field goals and I'd like to have a few of those back. It's really a job meant for a perfectionist, so it kind of drives me insane to miss like that."
"He takes it a little bit too tough on the sideline," said Tuberville. "I remember after he missed about a 45-yarder at Connecticut, I went over there and he had his head in his hands. I had to kick him in the tail to get him off the bench. You're not going to make it every time, but it's good to have somebody who takes it personally and seriously. He works very hard to try to eliminate mistakes."
"I hate missing a field goal more than I like making one, if that makes any sense," said Gantz.
"His goal is to have no misses," said new special teams coordinator Ty Linder. "He's a kid that really wants to be great. He's got a strong leg, he's very consistent, and he puts in the work. I'm excited to work with him."
One of Andrew's off-season goals is to increase his range for the upcoming season.
"He's been killing it in the weight room trying to get bigger and stronger," said Linder.
"I weighed around 150 pounds my freshman year and last summer I only gained three to five pounds," Gantz told me. "But right now I'm pushing between 172 and 175. I've really put in a lot of work this offseason trying to eat right and get in the weight room to get bigger. When I was a freshman, coach was hesitant to let me kick those long field goals, but I've pushed my range out to about 65 yards now. If he sees me hit those, I think we'll have a better chance of kicking those long field goals during a game."
Andrew says his longest field goal in practice is 67 yards – or 20 yards longer than the game-winner that saved Tuberville from having to agonize over a costly gamble.
"I don't think I really bailed him out – I did my job," said Gantz. "If that play had worked out it would have been a great coaching decision. But I think we're both pretty happy with how it worked out."

Davis Deserves Credit For Bearcats' Success
Perhaps the best way to appreciate the job that Larry Davis has done as Cincinnati's acting head coach is to turn the clock back 20 years.
In 1995, Duke's roster included two future first round draft picks in Cherokee Parks and Trajan Langdon and the Blue Devils got off a 9-3 start. But on January 23rd, Mike Krzyzewski announced that he would miss the rest of the season due to severe back pain. Duke went 4-15 under Coach K's replacement Pete Gaudet.
When Mick Cronin was sidelined due to a non-life threatening vascular condition on the morning of the VCU game, it looked like the Bearcats might suffer a similar fate. That day they were routed at home by the Rams 68-47.
"That was a tough day for everybody," said Davis. "It was like you were in a fog. It was surreal. It was like, 'Did this really just happen?'"
Two weeks later, Coach Cronin announced that he would continue to lead the program in a general manager's role but would not take part in on-court activities for the rest of the season leaving his top assistant in charge.
"He's given me a good life for the last nine years here," said Davis. "I texted him and said, 'I won't let you down.' I want to do well for the kids, and selfishly for myself, but most of all I don't want to let that guy down. He's been great to me, and he deserves to have all of us give our very best effort to keep this program rolling until he gets back. I do feel a great sense of wanting to do it for Mick."
Mission accomplished.
Davis is 15-7 since Coach Cronin was sidelined, and has put the Bearcats in position to return to the NCAA Tournament for the fifth straight season.
"I think the mark of a really good coach is when you can take a game that is not going your way and make the right adjustments to win a game that you were not going to win," said Coach Cronin. "And on a bigger scale, when the season is not going your way to be able to make the necessary changes to right the ship. He's done a tremendous job of that and he's had to do it multiple times.
"He had to take a team that lost its coach and make sure there was no panic at first. And then, once you get into the season you're going to have the normal ups and downs that everybody has. And he's done a great job of navigating that along with the rest of the staff."
Davis has been helped by Cronin's continued presence around the team.
"Coach Cronin still being around is big," said freshman Gary Clark. "I never thought, 'Oh crap, the season is going to go down the drain.'"
"Coach Cronin has done a great job of being the leader and having the staff follow his lead," said sophomore Troy Caupain. "The assistants are basically like mini-Cronins when it comes to making decisions and I think that's helped us a lot."
Davis was the head coach at Furman for nine years before coming to Cincinnati, and Cronin had confidence that he could prevent the team from collapsing.
"Larry has tremendous toughness," said Cronin. "That's why I have so much respect for him and that's why I tried to hire him as soon as I could when I got the job at Cincinnati. I knew how hard rebuilding the program was going to be and I needed a guy who could be in a foxhole with me. Trust me, in college basketball there is no more of a 'foxhole' guy than Larry Davis."
Their initial season together tested Larry's toughness.
"The first year was just crazy – I don't think people really have a true appreciation for what we walked into," said Davis. "We were wiped out. We didn't have anybody and had to spend every minute just getting eight guys to be able to practice every day much less win. There was so much pressure day after day after day after day. You didn't get any sleep and were constantly worried and I was exhausted.
"I woke up one day after the season and I literally could barely move."
Davis had mononucleosis. As an assistant at Delaware in the 1980's, Davis was involved in a serious car accident that knocked out two teeth and required more than 60 stitches. He missed one day of work. This time his recovery would take much longer.
"My doctor said, 'You can either listen to me and go home and get in bed and plan on being there for the next two to three weeks, or you can fight it and end up in the hospital for a month,'" said Davis. "I went from 185 pounds to 155 and thank goodness the boss I work for understood because I was out for almost three months."
That's roughly the amount of time that Cronin will miss this season and the Bearcats haven't missed a beat.
"I couldn't be happier for our program, our kids, and Coach Cronin that we've been able to maintain what he worked so hard to build," said Davis. "Throughout all the ups and downs this year, the one thing he kept emphasizing was, 'No matter what, we can't lose our culture.' Our culture is toughness, work hard, practice hard, defend, and rebound. I think we've been able to maintain the culture and that means we can continue forward when Mick comes back. That part of it is very satisfying."
"It's almost the same as if Coach Cronin were here," said Clark. "The 'Bearcat Way' is to play hard – they basically built the program from nothing by getting guys to play hard."
On Thursday, Larry Davis was not named the American Athletic Conference Coach of the Year – that honor went to Temple's Fran Dunphy. But considering the difficult circumstances he inherited, it's hard to imagine any coach in the country doing a better job than Davis.
Just ask Duke fans that remember 1995.
"I'd be less than truthful if I said that it hadn't been very stressful," said Davis. "But I've worked my whole life to be in position to be with a great program like Cincinnati and this year I've had the privilege to move one seat over."
"He deserves a tremendous amount of praise for the job he has done," said Cronin.

RIP Tex Simone
When I learned that my former boss Anthony "Tex" Simone passed away on Friday morning, I was reminded of a great scene from the TV show Mad Men.
After an elderly secretary died, one of the advertising firm's head honchos gave her the following eulogy:
"She was born in 1898 in a barn. She died on the 37th floor of a skyscraper. She was an astronaut."
It was a little bit like that for Tex Simone.
He rose from humble beginnings to become a legendary figure in his beloved home town of Syracuse, NY. Because of his passion for baseball, Tex left a promising career in business to join the grounds crew of the minor league Syracuse Chiefs in 1961. When the athletic trainer suffered a heart attack in the middle of the season, he added those responsibilities despite having no formal training. In 1967 he became the team's business manager and public relations director. In 1970 he was promoted to general manager and he ran the franchise for more than 40 years. In 2008, Tex was named to the International League Hall of Fame.
On a personal note, I owe Tex Simone and his son John my career. I was a 21-year-old senior at Syracuse University when the Simones gave me the opportunity to be a professional baseball broadcaster a month before graduation. In a business where getting your first job can be a daunting challenge, it was an incredible break and I will always be grateful.
Tex was a very kind man and a joy to work for, but he did call me into his office once to reprimand me.
It was a few games into my first season as the Chiefs' radio voice. The team had played an afternoon home game on a bitterly cold April day in Syracuse (shocking, I know) and I described the brutal weather conditions in painstaking detail as if I were The Weather Channel's Jim Cantore.
The next day, Tex called me into his office and said, "It is never cold at the ballpark!"
"Excuse me?" I replied.
"I don't ever want to hear you say that it's cold at the ballpark," he said. "You can tell folks to bring a jacket, wear a sweater, and pack their hat and gloves, but don't say how lousy the weather is. We've got tickets to sell!"
It was a valuable lesson. He wasn't telling me to be dishonest – just to remember that part of my job was to try to make a trip to the ballpark sound enjoyable. I have used that advice ever since.
For years I have also used Tex Simone as something of an "ace in the hole." When I hosted the Cincinnati Reds pregame show on Fox Sports Ohio, I would often have to get pregame interviews with opposing players and coaches. Whenever I thought the person I was interviewing knew Tex, I would drop his name to break the ice and put the subject at ease. That led to great interviews with Bobby Cox, Bobby Valentine, Carlos Delgado, Shawn Green, and many others.
Roughly 10 years after I called my last Chiefs game, I returned to Syracuse as the radio voice of the Pawtucket Red Sox. By then Tex was in declining health, but he always made an effort to trek up to the broadcast booth whenever I was in town to say hello and ask me about my family and career. I was thrilled that Pawtucket happened to be the opponent in August of 2008 when Tex was inducted into the I.L. Hall of Fame and I got to be there for the ceremony.
Tex Simone was a one-of-a-kind American success story who enriched the lives of all of us who were lucky to know him.
In the baseball world, he was an astronaut.

6th Year Puts "Coach Witty" Back On Field
The UC Bearcats are likely to be the only team in college football next year with a former coach in the starting lineup.
When fifth-year senior cornerback Adrian Witty suffered a significant groin injury in the season opener last year, it appeared his career was over.
"I tore it up pretty bad," said Witty. "I thought I was going to be able to come back, but things didn't go the way I wanted."
So to remain part of the team, Witty became an unofficial member of the coaching staff.
"He knows so much about football," said head coach Tommy Tuberville. "He's going to make a great coach if he ever wants to do that. Last year he ran some drills for us. I think he learned a lot from standing and watching guys, teaching them, telling them what to do, and watching film with them. He traveled with us, went to every game, and was like another set of eyes for us."
As it turned out, Witty's injury was not career-ending. He's been granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA after suffering separate season-ending injuries in 2010 and 2014.
"He went from playing, to coaching for a year, and now he's back to playing," said Tuberville. "He's seen all sides of it."
"God blessed me with another season," said Witty.
The speedy Floridian is Cincinnati's most experienced defensive back, having played cornerback, safety, and nickel in 41 career games. Now he has the added knowledge from having spent a season on the coaching staff.
"He learned a lot being on the sidelines and being in the meeting rooms as a coach," said co-defensive coordinator Steve Clinkscale. "To have him back is literally to have a coach on the field for me. He can definitely control his side of the field, get the calls in, and make adjustments. I love having him back and really appreciate his leadership. He's going to do a great job for us."
"It helped me see things from a coach's view," said Witty. "They consistently stressed the same things over and over. Now that I'm back on the field, I understand what they see."
Adrian has been successful on and off the field at Cincinnati. He's already earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and is working toward a master's degree in health education.
"He was elected one of our team captains last week and it was an obvious choice," said Tuberville.
"He's a good mentor on and off the field," said Clinkscale. "He does a great job in the classroom. You couldn't ask for a better son, a better player, or a better person."
"Being named a captain means a lot," said Witty. "It means the guys believe in me and the coaches believe in me and I'm going to live up to that. I have no problem being a leader. I want guys to follow me and look up to me. That's just who I am."
And the former coach is looking forward to playing again.
"I love these guys," said Witty. "When you're on the field you want to play for each other, battle for each other, bleed for each other, and do whatever you have to do in order to win."

Sanders Has Earned Respect Of Teammates And Coaches
In numerous stories about the health issue that's kept him off of the Bearcats bench this season, head coach Mick Cronin has singled out one player on the Cincinnati roster.
"This is about Jermaine Sanders – he's our lone senior," Coach Cronin told Mike DeCourcy of The Sporting News. "That's the hardest part of this for me. I'm really close to him.
"So not being able to coach him, it just sucks. I don't have a better adjective."
Sanders saw that comment and others like it and appreciates Cronin's thoughtfulness.
"I was proud that he felt that way," Sanders told me. "It's kind of sad for me that he hasn't been able to coach me for the final games of my senior year. It was heartwarming to hear that from him."
Jermaine Sanders came to Cincinnati as a high-scoring high school star, earning Player of the Year honors in New York City from the New York Post. But as a Bearcat, he's been a classic "glue guy" playing solid defense while being unselfish on offense.
"The one thing that you know about Jermaine is that he's going to do all of the little things that help you win," said associate head coach Larry Davis.
"It was a hard adjustment at first," said Sanders. "Coming from high school where you're depended on to score 20 to 30 points a night and then when you get here you try to score when you can but you're counted on to do things defensively and stuff like that. But everything happens for a reason and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm not ashamed to say that I was a glue guy while I was here.
"I always want to put other people before me – sometimes that may hurt me – but that's just the way that I am."
Sanders is quiet by nature, but as the only remaining senior on the roster, he's been thrust into a leadership role on an inexperienced team.
"Of all of the players on your team, the seniors are always the most determined guys because this is the last time they're going to be playing in a Cincinnati uniform," said Davis.
"I've taken it very seriously and tried to show the guys the way we need to play and the way we should act on and off the court," said Sanders. "I've tried to be a good example for the younger guys."
One of those younger teammates is Shaq Thomas who thinks so highly of Sanders that he chose Jermaine to be his daughter's godfather.
"He's my best friend and we've been through a lot together," said Thomas. "I just want to see him do well."
The same is true for Cronin.
"Jermaine Sanders is everything that's good about college basketball," Mick told me. "He has been all about the program and he has been a selfless player. And he's such a good person that I want success for him so badly because of his loyalty to the program. When he plays well I'm so happy.
"It's his senior year and he's always going to remember it. I feel guilty that I'm not out there coaching him."

Four Key Offseason Additions For Bengals
After spending Thursday at the NFL Scouting Combine, I am prepared to describe four key players that the Bengals anticipate adding to the roster next season.
- A sideline-to-sideline tackling machine at linebacker with a high football I.Q. Plays with an attitude. Prone to excessive penalties. Possible concussion concerns.
- A fluid receiver with the ability to stretch the field. Makes tough catches in the red zone. Ideal complement to pair with A.J. Green.
- An elite pass-catching tight end. Stands 6'6" with long arms. Has size to beat defensive backs and speed to beat linebackers. Must continue to improve as a blocker.
- A road-grading right tackle with surprisingly nimble feet. Must keep an eye on weight.
Those players are Vontaze Burfict, Marvin Jones, Tyler Eifert, and Andre Smith.
Don't get me wrong, Cincinnati will undoubtedly add an immediate contributor or two (maybe more) in this year's draft. The Bengals are on a run of six straight productive drafts as they've placed at least one player on the Pro Football Writers of America All-Rookie Team in every season.
2014: Jeremy Hill
2013: Giovani Bernard
2012: Kevin Zeitler
2011: A.J. Green
2010: Carlos Dunlap, Clint Stitser (not a stellar group of rookie kickers apparently)
2009: Quan Cosby (as a punt returner)
But regardless of who the Bengals add in the draft, it's hard to imagine that any of the rookies will have a bigger immediate impact than the return of Burfict, Jones, Eifert, and Smith – assuming that they're healthy.
Burfict is recovering from the most serious injury after having microfracture surgery on his left knee. Marvin Lewis told reporters at the Combine that he expects the Pro Bowl linebacker to be back on the field this season.
"Vontaze is working his tail off in rehab and it's an important offseason for the Cincinnati Bengals and Vontaze Burfict together," Lewis said. "He's one of our dynamic players and he's a dynamic leader. We're a better team with Vontaze on the field, so we hope to get him back full speed and healthy as quick as we can. It's important. He knows the importance of it for us, for him, and for his career."
Coach Lewis added that Jones and Eifert are on good recovery timetables as they return from ankle and elbow injuries respectively.
"(Jones) is fine, healthy, and he's ready to go," said Lewis. "He's got a lot of prove. It's an exciting time for us. He's a young player with a lot of ability, a lot to prove, and a lot on the line. I like guys with a lot on the line.
"Tyler's development, if you are familiar with him, was a little bit retarded this year because he was injured nine plays into the season. He's doing well. It's important that we get Tyler back and productive in his third season for us."
Adding Jones and Eifert to an offensive that includes Green, Hill, Bernard, and Mohamed Sanu would give Andy Dalton as many offensive weapons to distribute the ball to as nearly any quarterback in the NFL.
Two years ago with minimal injuries among running backs and receivers, Dalton set franchise records for single season passing yards (4,293) and touchdown passes (33). However, he also threw a career-high 20 interceptions. His INT total dropped to 17 last year, but his rate per attempt slightly increased.
"We've got to get Andy to continue to take care of the football all of the time," said Coach Lewis. "He doesn't have to feel pressed. We know the next down is coming. The one area where we weren't quite as good this year was protecting the football. We have got to do a better job of that. There were times where he became a little impatient and his patience has to continue to grow.
"To be a productive NFL quarterback, we want that interception number to be down. That's the most important thing. There are going to be some interceptions that happen. There are going to be some balls that go off hands that are tipped, and so forth. But the ones that he is directly responsible for – we want to make sure that that number is almost non-existent."
Over the last four seasons, the Bengals are 40-23-1 despite playing in one of the toughest divisions in football. That's the sixth-best record in the NFL during that period behind New England, Green Bay, Denver, San Francisco, and Seattle. Despite their playoff failures, the Bengals roster is good enough to contend.
But it's hard to overcome a rash of injuries that wipe out entire position groups as the Bengals had at times last year at wide receiver and linebacker.
"When you get a lot of injuries at one position, your depth is non-existent," said Lewis.
That's why the return of Burfict, Jones, Eifert, and Smith is so important. It allows the Bengals not to draft for need but to continue their highly-successful approach – particularly in the early rounds – of taking the highest-rated player regardless of position.
"We want to upgrade the football team in general so there's not one area," said Lewis when asked about draft priorities. "We have to upgrade every area."

With Rivalries Disappearing, Cherish The Crosstown Shootout
There has been a lot of realignment in college sports in recent years and it hasn't been good for traditional rivalries.
My Alma mater – Syracuse – no longer plays Georgetown every year in basketball.
The Backyard Brawl between Pitt and West Virginia is no more.
The so-called Border War between Kansas and Missouri is history.
Closer to home, after 99 meetings in basketball, Cincinnati and Louisville don't currently play each other.
After 160 meetings, Xavier and Dayton don't square off.
The bottom line is, if your school still has a great rivalry – cherish it – and there is no rivalry quite like the Skyline Chili Crosstown Shootout.
It is the best intra-city rivalry in college basketball. Two outstanding schools – just 3 miles apart – that happen to have two of the best programs in the country.
Cincinnati is one of only 16 schools that have been to the NCAA Tournament each of the last 4 years. In its history, UC has made 6 trips to the Final Four and won 2 NCAA titles.
Xavier is one of only 13 schools to go the NCAA Tourney in 8 of the last 9 years and the Musketeers have made 5 trips to the Sweet 16 in the last 11 seasons.
This rivalry has featured legendary players like Oscar Robertson, David West, Kenyon Martin, and Byron Larkin.
There have been last-second dramatic shots by unlikely heroes like Lenny Brown, Joe Stiffend, Jamal Walker, and Jihad Muhammed.
There has even been a million dollar half-court shot by a fan named Theo Nelson. And who could forget his Vontaze Burfict-like tackle of the Blue Blob after the shot went in.
My first Shootout as a fan and broadcaster was "The Lenny Brown" game. I was the color analyst for Fox 19 with Thom Brennaman on play-by-play. And I still had hair.
Since 2000, I've had the privilege to broadcast the Crosstown Shootout every year on 700 WLW. As the Voice of the Bearcats, it's the only game where I dread the possibility of losing more than I enjoy the potential of winning. That's one of the things that makes this game so distinct. If your team loses, you will come in contact with fans from the other team nearly every day until the two schools meet again.
When you think about it, the Crosstown Shootout is a lot like its sponsor. If you didn't grow up here, chili is a stew that comes in a bowl with ground beef and kidney beans.
But if you're from Cincinnati, chili is a runny sauce served on spaghetti and topped with a giant helmet of cheddar cheese.
The rest of the country can scoff, but we know that it's delicious.
Similarly, the Skyline Chili Crosstown Shootout is a once-a-year treat and it uniquely ours. It's a five-way with great players, legendary coaches, passionate fans, thrilling finishes, and high stakes.
As rivalries disappear, thank heavens The Shootout is alive and well.
Backcourt Brothers
Troy Caupain verbally committed to play college basketball at Cincinnati in early June before his senior year of high school.
Three days later, Kevin Johnson did the same thing.
The two future Bearcats read about each other after committing to UC, but didn't cross paths until an unexpected meeting the following month.
"We met at an AAU tournament in Las Vegas," said Caupain. "We played in a back gym – Team Loaded vs OBC (Ohio Basketball Club). It went to overtime and unfortunately, Kevin's team beat us by like one point. Later on the trip, we were walking the strip and I saw his team at Chipotle and we both had on Cincinnati shirts. I was like, 'That's Kevin.' And he was like, 'That's Troy.' There was a bond from there."
"Their friendship kind of started at that tournament in Vegas," said UC associate head coach Larry Davis. "They made the effort to hook up with one another because they were both committed to Cincinnati."
Caupain was born in Amityville, NY but attended high school near Richmond, VA. Johnson grew up in Cincinnati and introduced his future teammate to his hometown when they were still in high school."
"I visited during spring break senior year and spent a week with him and we built a relationship," said Caupain. "Ever since then, there's been a bond that can't be broken."
"He's my brother," said Johnson. "I feel like I've known him for more than these two years of college. It seems like I've known him forever and that's a good feeling man."
"That wasn't a surprise because of their families," said head coach Mick Cronin. "They're both educated and intelligent kids and they got to know each other before they even came to Cincinnati. I think they both have the character where they are rooting for the other guy. It's important on a team to have somebody there to support you when you struggle. It's easy for the kids when things are going well, but Troy and Kevin have really helped each other through any tough times that they've had to this point in their careers."
After coming off of the bench as freshman, the two roommates are starting backcourt mates as sophomores. Caupain leads the Bearcats in scoring (10.1) and assists (3.6), and Johnson is averaging 7.6 points since the start of conference play.
"It definitely helps to know that you have somebody by your side who believes in you," said Johnson. "And we definitely have that chemistry – you kind of know what the other guy is going to do and that's a great feeling on the court."
"If you look at great guard tandems over the years, they had a second sense for knowing when the other guy was going to cut or what he was going to do," said Coach Davis. "I think the more that they play together, the more they are going to develop that closeness."
And it's not only on offense. A major reason why Cincinnati is fifth in the nation in scoring defense (54.5 points) is the pressure Caupain and Johnson put on opposing guards at the top of UC's matchup zone.
"You see it out front in our defense when Troy and Kevin are in there and they are playing as one," said Coach Cronin. "The more they do that, the better we've gotten on defense. And I really believe over the last few weeks that it's improved immensely."
While their chemistry continues to grow on the court, the backcourt brothers could not be much closer off of it.
"We sit in our living room all the time after practice and talk about everything," said Caupain. "Deshaun Morman is usually with us too – he lives across the hall but he's like a roommate. We talk about the things you need to talk about with people that are really important to you."

I did meet many interesting people. Talk to them was so much fun. The ambiance in lobby was very comfortable.
the location was quit good. It was on the main street of old city, near to the center but far away from the noisy part. It was joyful to walk down the street in the morning from Garden Inn.
It is really a good choice. - Anonymous
the neighborhood is very nice - Anonymous
