Cincinnati-based radio legend Bill Cunningham had himself a little moment yesterday while discussing the potential offspring of the University of Cincinnati men’s basketball team, although “discussing” might be too polite a term.
Cunningham: How many illegitimate children does the UC men’s basketball team have?
Producer Guy: Uhh, I don’t know. I just worry about whether they win or lose, or their record.
Cunningham: I heard it’s more than a half dozen. So there’s some hangin’ and bangin’ going on at the Shoemaker Center after the game. … [T]hey’re poppin’ those things out like cherry pits out of one’s mouth.
For the record, the personal bios on Cincinnati’s athletic website make no mention of the players’ children, suggesting that either (a) there are no illegitimate children of which to speak, or (b) they are, in fact, poppin’ ‘em out like cherry pits. Mmm, cherries.

Eastern Kentucky played Cincinnati to open the college football season on Thursday night, and the UC Bearcat parachuted into the stadium. I think it went pretty well. In fact, he was probably trying to get caught on that wire. Mascots are always doing things like falling down and hitting themselves in the groin for our entertainment. Look! His little plush head is bleeding! What a kidder!
There's been much talk around the bloggerhood recently about Project 119, one insane 23-year-old's idea to visit all 119 Division I football stadiums.
This particular photo is from 119's visit to Nippert Stadium, home of the Cincinnati Bearcats. As you can see, the local populace — the stadium is open to the public — decorated the snowy field with some of the finest art ever seen in southern Ohio.
