It is never too early to start thinking about college football. Â There is still plenty of good basketball left to be played, but its nice to get some way-too-early preseason hype from NBC Sports:
"“One potential team to follow in the Group of Five conversation also opens spring practice this week; Cincinnati. The BearCats open spring practices on Friday. Cincinnati will be among the favorites in the AAC in 2015, with a shot to play in a New Years Six bowl game if all goes well. A chance to host the first AAC championship game in newly renovated Nippert Stadium would be a nice goal, and it is certainly one that should be within reach for Cincinnati. Before Cincinnati gets a chance to open the spring schedule, fellow AAC school USF will get started. The Bulls open spring practice on Monday, with much to get started on for what could be a critical season for head coach Willie Taggart. Taggart has coached USF to a record of 6-18 in his first two seasons on the job, with a 5-11 mark in conference games. – NBCsports.com “"
That is high praise for a team and coaching staff that has proven to take a mulligan in conference play and yet to show up to a bowl game. Â We are only 2 years into the Tommy Tuberville era and have yet to reach new heights, but a few things are clear: Â Gunner can throw. Â Our WR core is one of the best in the country. Â Boone can run with the best of them. Â If our line can block and our defense can make an occasional stop then it should be a much better year for Bearcat fans.
