Or as its commonly known Hyde Park Near. Ive only had suds there. I wonder what foodie things will be served. We enjoy hearing everyone speak but my highest focus is on MBB. And i get a kick out of Coach Boals.

I imagine there will be all sorts of pies laid out. Looking forward to hearing about both football and basketball. Interesting to see neither HC will be in attendance, only assistants.

I'm back from the Cincinnati event. It was meh. God bless all things OU -- and I appreciated the free pizza that was served -- but this event suffered from the lack of star power. Again, no offense to those who spoke, but I don't think I'll attend in future years if the head coaches aren't there. It was kind of like going to one of those Rohr Room pregame talks with an assistant coach, but this time there was no game following it. There was a mention made that Coach Albin was entertaining portal recruits on campus, and I'm glad to hear about that legitimate reason for him missing this. Maybe Coach Boals had similar reasons to miss out and it just wasn't stated. It would be a little awkward if they appear in other cities and just missed Cincy. I didn't get a chance to chat with Julie Cromer or others, but I'm guessing this sentiment will make its way to them through the grapevine. Oh well. Let's just fast forward to football season and start playing games. I didn't need this event to get me excited about Bobcat athletics.

I was there, and thought it was a fun and interesting event. Thanks to the athletic department for organizing this.

Pros - i thought the panel of three coaches was solid. The head volleyball coach was engaging and insightful. So were the bball and fball assistants. Cons - most of audience questions were about portal. Meh. Parking was a nightmare, i was half hour early and lot completely full. Had to park down the road and across the street at megachurch lot. Double meh.

I also had to park in Crossroads lot. Still, a good location and a good event.

Kudos to the folks who put in the work, because I'm guessing they weren't the ones who decided Albin and Boals wouldn't be there.

Double meh. If I remember correctly that parking lot is hilariously small for the size of the building they own. I would have thought MadTree would have solved that issue by now given they've been in that location for close to a decade. Parking there was always a PITA for me even on days/nights there weren't events.

Only negative is crossing the street.

Hoops highlight was learning might be one more portal xfer to athens.

Only negative is crossing the street. can you really go to a place called crossroads, then complain that you had to cross the road? Outstanding observation! In all seriousness, this area of Cincinnati should be a case study in trickle down economics. Two of the busiest streets in the city (Madison Rd and Ridge Ave) and right on the corner of that is a mega church (Crossroads) across from MadTree. There's a Target, Meijer and Sam's Club within walking distance of the church and also a Chick-fil-A. But since they're not open on Sundays, guess who opens a place right next door? Canes. Genius move.
