In this episode, Chris Bains and I discuss the big topic of the day, the World Cup. While we actually talk about the World Cup for a minute, the conversation naturally streamlines to Cincinnati football and preview the upcoming season.<\/p>\n<p>We start by discussing what else, Hayden Moore and the quarterback position and the competition with Desmond Ridder. It took a lot of restraint not to mention how good Ridder was in my NCAA 14 dynasty, but I saved it for this blog post, which was also poor restraint.<\/p>\n<p>The offensive and defensive lines really caught most of our attention, given that they look like areas of weakness, in certain aspects, for this Bearcats squad. This all turns into a preview of the season opener against the UCLA Bruins and Chip Kelly. We don&#8217;t have high hopes of UC pulling out a victory on the scoreboard, spoiler alert, but we do have high hopes for what we want to see on the field. We banter about what a potential win on this national spotlight could do for the Bearcats.<\/p>\n<p>From there, we look at the AAC on the whole and predict who will win this crazy league. That turns into a Group of 5 access bowl spot prediction as well.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, Chris and I cover a lot in this episode. We will be back next Tuesday as well. We have a schedule, people, this is not a drill.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;Like previous editions of the show, you can find the podcast on <a href=\"http:\/\/a href=\">iTunes<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stitcher.com\/podcast\/bearcats-blogcast\">Stitcher<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/music\/listen?authuser#\/ps\/Irpyr3mjo3ebluj3wx22syudnom\">Google Play<\/a> and anywhere else podcasts are found for that matter.
