Let’s Ask The Important AAC Media Day Questions

The 2015 AAC Media Days kick off today in Newport, Rhode Island with reporters from around the country flocking to the region to talk American football.

Unfortunately Cincy on the Prowl won’t be sending anyone to cover the events this year. We’re but a little fan site after all. The Enquirer however is flying Tom Groeschen out to Newport and UC’s official media department is putting Dan Hoard on the scene. But it remains to be seen if they’ll answer all of the questions Bearcats fans have been craving to have answered. If they’ll just ask the generic “how are you feeling?” questions or really get into the nitty gritty.

We at Cincy on the Prowl don’t throw softies over the plate. While we aren’t represented at AAC Media Days, we don’t mess around and dive into the issues that fans really care about. We ask the tough questions.

It’s nothing but hard hitting “journalism” over here and if we were at AAC Media Days, these are the questions we would ask.

Will Tommy Tuberville wear a white, red, or black polo to his press conference? And what will the hat be?

A fan of several combinations over the last two seasons, unlike Brian Kelly who pretty much just wore the same windbreaker game after game, Tommy Tuberville is a fashionista when it comes to the UC polo and hat. As a blackout fan myself, I’m hoping he goes with black on black. But I wouldn’t be surprised with white.

Even more so, I’d be curious if Tuberville rolls out with Under Armour gear of if he goes with an old Adidas polo and hat he had just lying around.

How many times will Tommy Sniffles make an appearance at his presser?

We kept a close eye on this all last season because, again, when you think of Cincy on the Prowl, you think of things that the die hard Bearcats fans truly care about. What keeps some of you up at night, like how many times Tommy Tuberville will sniff at his media presser. I’m pulling for double digits.

Will Gunner Kiel be asked about his beard? Will he grow one this season and will it be manicured or will he go all Hagrid with the thing?

Kiel had a glorious beard last season. It was getting a little raggedly down the stretch but was a full on cornucopia of manliness all the same. Will he do the same in 2015? It couldn’t hurt his NFL Draft chances (see: Luck, Andrew) and I’m sure something in the neighborhood of ZZ Top would get Kiel a ton of notoriety. I’m all for it as long as it doesn’t interfere with his throwing motion.

“Throw THROUGH the beard!”

After 22 years of existence does Silverberry Mouhon understand how incredible his name is?

I’m sure he hasn’t heard it thousands of times before so it’s best to finally have an answer down pat. Does he not know how unbelievable his name is?!

Was Bob Diaco an extra on Magic Mike Junior way back when?

The ladies are dying to know.

Anybody wearing a bow tie?

Seriously, who among the UC players, or any AAC player will rock the bow tie? I’m pulling for Silverberry from Cincinnati’s contingent or Tulane’s 305 lbs Arturo Uzdavinis, who looks like he just walked off the set of Game of Thrones.

Who wants the Lobster Eating Contest crown the most?

My gut says Cincinnati, who won it two years ago. But South Florida brought a punter to AAC Media Days and if there’s anything UC fans have learned about those guys over the years it’s that they’re freaks of nature and completely unpredictable. That could wind up being a genius move by Willie Taggart.

Will anyone acknowledge the Civil Conflict Trophy?

“Hey, UCF, remember how we beat you last year? Trophy’s looking pretty great next to all of our other football trop- our other football trophy!”

“Nope, remember when we more than tripled you up a year before?”

“Oh what? Sorry, you’re cutting out on me!”

“…I’m standing two feet in front of you…”

“Huh?! Sorry, gotta go!”
