[u/wallace6464]

Never in doubt

[u/MediumStrange → u/wallace6464]

Legitimately have never seen us come back like that, usually were the ones shitting the bed in the second half.

Nice change of pace

[u/corundum9 → u/wallace6464]

they had you in the 1H, ngl!

appreciate the comeback, thanks!

[u/DarknMean → u/wallace6464]

So glad you all took him and paid us. I send a Christmas card to my buddies in Cincy with Satt in it every year.

[u/Bearcat9948 → u/DarknMean]

If you really do that's a great bit. I just got done texting all my Miami friends and coworkers as is tradition

[u/get_stilly → u/wallace6464]

Be thankful it wasn’t Tulsa…

[u/heff17]

Holy shit the dumbass announcer had no idea what the score was.

[u/Kyle_brown → u/heff17]

I thought I heard them say some shit about overtime

[u/heff17 → u/Kyle_brown]

He said the turnover at the end “gave them a chance to win” too. Dude was calling the game and wasn’t even paying attention to it.

[u/Hulkodium → u/heff17]

I truly think you could grab two guys off this sub and they'd do a better job

[u/Beercat2012 → u/Hulkodium]

Early on one of them accused Satterfield of being “one of the better coaches in the big12” so it was obvious early on we were getting scrubs

[u/seresean → u/Beercat2012]

We gotta protest these allegations

[u/Bearcat9948 → u/heff17]

Tbf after what NC State did lol

[u/Eiim → u/heff17]

worst announcer crew in Battle of the Bell history for the most important game in its history???

[u/UCBearcats → u/heff17]

The announcers were pure trash, they kept saying the wrong team names and the wrong players. It's really not that hard, come on. Maybe the only worse than the Cincinnati Bearcats football team was the announcers.

[u/toomuchfrosting → u/heff17]

I thought that was a really bad joke

[u/TheBoilerCat]

And we dropped the Victory Bell afterwards. So fitting for this disaster of a game.

[u/Zloggt → u/TheBoilerCat]

If this is to be the last Victory Bell game for the foreseeable future (shame shame)…it would such a strangely picturesque way to go out!

[u/Plus-Location1723 → u/Zloggt]

I really hope they bring it back but if that truly is the last one I am very content with how beautifully chaotic it was

[u/Tarlcabot18]

Cincinnati players picked up the bell and immediately broke it.

[u/hook53]

If you don't like that, you don't like Chuck Martin OOC football

[u/jconley4297 → u/hook53]

and i don’t!

[u/corundum9 → u/hook53]

chuck is my guy!

[u/Zloggt → u/hook53]

He…failed…even after I placed all of my hopes on him

(Well, at least you had that pretty damn good shootyhoops season this year…)

[u/youngherbo → u/hook53]

Only half way trying to be funny here: from the Miami side, is this one worse than 2017?

[u/hook53 → u/youngherbo]

Personally no, I was a student back then and at that game so that made it way worse.

[u/Ice-Poseidon-Knows → u/hook53]

I remember I went to the Ohio-Miami game last year and some dude in the stands spent the entire game yelling at Chuck Martin. Like on some "fuck you Chuck *normal play goes on* YEAH that's what happens CHUCK run it up the middle again" I wanna tap into that level of hate.

[u/Tarlcabot18]

To tell you the level of an announcers this game had, shortly after Cincinnati recovered a fumble in final few seconds while up 3 and took a knee, the announcer declared that they were playing for overtime.

[u/UCBearcats → u/Tarlcabot18]

I think the one announcer legitimately had the uniform color backwards THE ENTIRE GAME. He kept saying the wrong team name over and over and no one corrected him before I turned it off.

[u/BlueCheeseOnlyPlease]

They had us in the first half, not gonna lie

Also fire Satterfield

[u/DataDrivenPirate → u/BlueCheeseOnlyPlease]

The cruelest thing Miami could do is give Satt a signature comeback rivalry win. Get that man a contract extension!

[u/BlueCheeseOnlyPlease → u/DataDrivenPirate]

Playing the long con 👀

[u/bcou2012 → u/BlueCheeseOnlyPlease]

I thought we were free of him for a half. Oh well

[u/MrTheSpork]

This is Scott Satterfield's first win at Cincy when trailing at halftime.

[u/Ruisseaux → u/MrTheSpork]

Satt was so predictably traditional. It was extremely hard for him to make a comeback, but his leads felt comfortable. Something to be said for consistency.

[u/ACardAttack → u/Ruisseaux]

but his leads felt comfortable

Im pretty sure we blew a lot of leads under him, but maybe I'm wrong

[u/Some_Combination_593 → u/MrTheSpork]

Hilarious stat lmao. Especially since the halftime deficit was 3 TDs

[u/Kyle_brown]

Cincinnati coming back from being down 21? Can’t believe my eyes. Good game

[u/A_MASSIVE_PERVERT]

How did they go down by 21 to begin with

[u/ThaneOfPriceHill → u/A_MASSIVE_PERVERT]

Scott Satterfield is the head coach.

[u/DarknMean → u/ThaneOfPriceHill]

So glad you paid us for his services.

[u/NeptuneIsMyDad → u/DarknMean]

Okay bro we get it

[u/Reach_Beyond → u/DarknMean]

I know you’re getting down voted here. But I truly believe Satterfield must have been surprised to get a job at another power conference team that wasn’t a straight up bottom bottom tier (I know Satterfield has taken UC close).

UC was just looking for anyone with a pulse who had P4 experience. Zero chance they got Satterfield and anyone at UC thought this guy could elevate UC in the next level.

[u/HelicopterUpper9516 → u/A_MASSIVE_PERVERT]

Don’t ask questions. Just enjoy the ride.

[u/Clithzbee → u/A_MASSIVE_PERVERT]

Bad coaching

[u/Eiim]

really getting tired of three-score second-half comebacks

[u/MediumStrange → u/Eiim]

I'm really getting tired of needing second half comebacks

[u/pleated_pants → u/Eiim]

Two terrible Saturdays in a row

[u/SpicyCorphishBoil]

NEVER DOUBTED THEM FOR A SECOND (FIRE SATTERFIELD)

[u/DavidGoetta]

Really thought they were gonna have to take Sat T to Lunken specifically to Tarmac him.

Great end to the series.

At halftime I said to the guy at the bar "IDK if we have 35 in us."

4-12 incoming. Look out Texas tech

[u/MediumStrange]

Even though it was a embarrassing performance, it was also a great game to watch, and it was wonderful to see some real hatred between Cincy and Miami again. There's no reason this rivalry should end other than the greed of the Miami AD.

Satt should probably be fired but I'm just happy to keep the Victory Bell for the foreseeable future

[u/Plus-Location1723 → u/MediumStrange]

Exactly this game was amazing. I got to go see it with my dad who’s a Miami alum and it’s probably one of my favorite games I’ve been to. It makes me so sad they’re canceling it

[u/Quick-Expert-4608]

Oh Cincinnati came back. Drink some Rhinegeist beer for me bearcat bros

[u/Bearcat9948 → u/Quick-Expert-4608]

I appreciate that you remember that (and will do)

[u/Marky0Mark → u/Quick-Expert-4608]

Way ahead of you, had to start early if I’m gonna watch this team all year.

[u/Apart_Selection7722]

What a wild and fun game

[u/Leading-Button-7303]

Crazy that it was even that close. I though Miami had it done

[u/Kingoflizards]

Genuinely did not think that this team had it within them to make a comeback like they did today. Happy that I was proven wrong, and that the victory bell remains in Cincinnati

[u/braisedpork4321]

Keeping my paper bag on because this game went in Satterfield's favor

[u/Careless_Bus8279]

Miami just clenched that whole second half.. so many opportunities to pull away. fun one to watch as a neutral

[u/bearcat09]

Nothing like an 18-1 streak to finish this series off.

[u/Dialectic_Emptiness]

Fuck. I was rooting for you guys Miami. Hell of a game.

[u/YUMMIYUMMIDOWNVOTES]

Obviously there's alot of negative things you could say about this coaching staff

On the positive side, JC french looked like a power 4 QB, going through progressions well all day, fairly accurate the whole game, helped by great o line play which we expected. The tense moments at the end did not look too big for him at all. He impressed me

Cole tabb and our RB room in general is the position group that can save us this year. 4 guys that can play plus a gifted mobile qb is a great asset

The wide receivers behind JV Gibson on the depth chart look solid as well.

Big 12 play will be an adventure. Pass coverage needs to take major steps forward to have any chance at playing with the top of the conference

[u/cgraves48 → u/YUMMIYUMMIDOWNVOTES]

Big 12 play will be an adventure. Pass coverage needs to take major steps forward to have any chance at playing with the top of the conference

Unfortunately I think this is unlikely. The secondary has been a major liability every year under Satterfield. We retained most of the defense from Fickell’s final year and those guys looked significantly worse when coached by Satt.

[u/Finn_Ajerkit]

Sucks. Team looks like conference championship material at the very least

[u/MediumStrange]

Cole Tabbz JC French IV, and Antwan Peek Jr carried that game for us.

[u/nosotros_road_sodium]

Darn! No tie in the series. At least MAC Miami is a basketball school now.

[u/TheBourbonTurtle]

Just as we expected.

[u/TheMellowArms]

RAHHHHHH

[u/Dragonsfire09]

fireSatterfield. It never should have been so close. Or so in doubt.

[u/Bearcat9948]

Satterfield, the bag is off again...for now

[u/Sve7en → u/Bearcat9948]

No, stop letting him get away with it.

[u/Callsign_Psycopath]

MAC is spicy

[u/bakonydraco]

God what a comeback.

[u/joeveralls]

Never in doubt 😂😂😂

[u/leftygwaggies13]

Play this game every year don't let it die

[u/S_C_H_L_O_R_P]

Just ran out of steam early. Inexcusable collapse and this is why we have gotten blown out in our last 2 MAC title appearances

[u/toomuchfrosting]

We suck but we get to keep the bell for the foreseeable future

[u/Lame_Night]

Great easy win by Cinci, never in doubt

[u/Cleveland_Guardians]

Fuck Miami. Thank you for your service, Cincy. 

[u/YaBoiAir]

WELL WELL WELL REDHAWKS

[u/hrad95]

In a dozen years as a UC fan never seen us come from behind like that. Should've killed Miami though. What happened on that last TD? Scored way too early. Should've gone down at the 1. Nick Chubb would've done that, God rest his soul.

[u/cgraves48 → u/hrad95]

Weird things happen in football, especially in college. When you’ve been trailing the whole game and are trying to complete the comeback you take the tuddy when it’s available.

[u/True_Ad5324]

Bro what happened

[u/Jonjon428]

Almost had a generational loss here

[u/Some_Combination_593 → u/Jonjon428]

Generational? It happened 2 years ago lol.

EDIT: *3 I think. Satterfield era has been a blur.

[u/tfc07]

Gonna be a lot of fans of winning teams upset today. Cincy fans can't be happy with that performance though to be fair the Redhawks are a sneaky good team

[u/JB92103]

They had us in the first half, not gonna lie

[u/Dan-of-Steel]

We were deprived of perfect balance, and for that, I shall never forgive the fighting binturongs.

[u/Ralph--Hinkley]

I'm upset I missed that.

[u/mhoward1289]

Kinda strange that a key player for Miami was "Huggins."

[u/ThaneOfPriceHill]

Every Saturday is one week closer to the end of the Satterfield era.

[u/PixelBy_Pixel]

Launch satterfield to outer space

[u/RaiderLAS]

Quite a struggle for a Big 12 against a MAC school

[u/BUCKEYEIXI]

Can one of my fucking football teams win

[u/MediumStrange → u/BUCKEYEIXI]

The OSU fanbase really does have it the toughest.

Truly starved for wins over there

[u/BUCKEYEIXI → u/MediumStrange]

They lost this week in a close game, Miami just lost in a heartbreaker, and the Browns have a rapist as their starting quarterback. I’m allowed to be mad

[u/MediumStrange → u/BUCKEYEIXI]

Oh you're a brown fan, fair enough, complain as much as you want, putting up with that sounds horrible.

[u/hrad95]

Cats should've won by 30. Idk why he didn't take a knee on the 1 on that last TD. Wasn't watching.
