He's actually going to be there next year. He petitioned the NCAA for a 6th year due to injuries and got the waiver accepted last week.

Leave it to the ESPN shill, Mike Patrick, to say that Cincy hired a man "of great character," given what we know about the circumstances of his exit.
December 27th, 2012 at 9:05 PM ^
All year this team has easily covered the spread early but they biff if up late to screw me. Hoping tonight is different!
December 27th, 2012 at 10:18 PM ^
good call.
December 27th, 2012 at 10:25 PM ^
I'm laughing in disgust.
December 27th, 2012 at 10:23 PM ^
Uhhhhh.....
nope. Sorry man.
December 27th, 2012 at 9:20 PM ^
What the hell is belks?
December 27th, 2012 at 9:21 PM ^
Tommy Tuberville's sorry behind? Turn around and salute the Duke coach for not leaving. . . weak.
December 27th, 2012 at 9:36 PM ^
Duke answers Cincy's 27 point run w two TDs of their own to retake the lead 31-27
December 27th, 2012 at 9:37 PM ^
Jetski accident is the most Duke way ever to hurt oneself
December 27th, 2012 at 9:38 PM ^
I picked doook to win. So far I'm 7-2 in my picks.
Hits: Potato, Beef 'O' Brady's, Nawlins, MAACO Vegas, Hawaii, Pizza, Military
Misses: New Mexico, Poinsettia

I picked two big upsets: Ball St (Loser) and OHIO! Needless to say, I really need OHIO to beat LA-Monroe.
I'm 6-3 with losses from Ball St, Fresno St., and Western Kentucky. The Ball State one set me back big. The Fresno St I could live with. The WKU one hurt. Dumb coaching decision to go for that 4th and 1 by not drawing them offsides or just running the ball.
Only four (of 33) people picked Duke in my pool, so this won't affect me that much if they win. I think it lets one person jump me and one tie with me.
December 27th, 2012 at 9:40 PM ^
FUUUUUUUUUUUU
December 27th, 2012 at 9:45 PM ^
So that they have the ball last
34-31 Cincy 11 min left
December 27th, 2012 at 9:51 PM ^
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK ties it.
December 27th, 2012 at 9:55 PM ^
One more scheduled at-bat for each if they sustain long drives
December 27th, 2012 at 9:55 PM ^
Didnt that plane sink? How did they get it back? That's crazy.
Entertaining game.
December 27th, 2012 at 10:07 PM ^
Winn denied a 1st down. I suppose that if you haven't really done much, well, tackling or stopping of any kind, Duke can celebrate not letting someone get a first down. It's the small victories in these bowl games, right?
That being said, we are almost at 1,000 yards of offense between both teams in this game. Cincinnati is in danger of letting the Blue Devils punch in another one with that catch at the Bearcats' 8 yard-line.
EDIT: ....and Duke yet again loses it inside the 10. The end zone will not bite you and throw you in the basement.
December 27th, 2012 at 10:07 PM ^
DOOOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKK fumbles the ball at the goalline. Now it's up to their defense....
December 27th, 2012 at 10:08 PM ^
Damnit.
December 27th, 2012 at 10:10 PM ^
Dukey NOOOOOOOO!
December 27th, 2012 at 10:10 PM ^
Duke still has a ton of time left.
December 27th, 2012 at 10:11 PM ^
For the TD
Cincy 41-34 42 seconds left
December 27th, 2012 at 10:12 PM ^
And i got cinci with a billion points. And yet i feel bad
December 27th, 2012 at 10:13 PM ^
I'm a few Christmas Ales in, but that color guy is pretty stupid.
December 27th, 2012 at 10:14 PM ^
and of course no one really plays defense anymore.
December 27th, 2012 at 10:15 PM ^
Jeez, bad penalty. It ain't over yet!
December 27th, 2012 at 10:15 PM ^
OK, it's over.
December 27th, 2012 at 10:15 PM ^
Well, that's an odd way to cover.
December 27th, 2012 at 10:16 PM ^
Duke really duked it there. Short mid-sack pass to a waiting defender. TD Bearcats. Game over now.
December 27th, 2012 at 10:16 PM ^
Shit. Saw that coming. Headed right for his blind side. Never had a chance.
Congrats Coach Stripling (Former DL coach at Michigan).
December 27th, 2012 at 10:17 PM ^
Duke is a betting man's nightmare? Amiright?!
December 27th, 2012 at 10:20 PM ^
It's unfortunate "redundant" is a negative moderation, in this instance.
December 27th, 2012 at 10:20 PM ^
At least we can watch Rutgers perform well on the big stage as they take on a hobbling VT in the Russell Athletic Bowl.
December 27th, 2012 at 10:29 PM ^
Dook first and goal at the Cincy 8 tied 34-all w ~1:30 to go. Cook fumbles, Cincy hits a tight end fly for a TD, then Dook gets to the Cincy 40 before a hit on the Dookie qb causes a popup to a lb who returns it for a TD.
December 27th, 2012 at 11:35 PM ^
while Duke is kicking ass in the 1st...and I come home and they lost. Man I'm feeling it right now
December 28th, 2012 at 11:28 AM ^
Thrilled that Cincinnati (one of my alma maters) won -- but wow, Duke gave them a much better game than I thought they would. Still, when you're down to a skeletal coaching staff, I bet it's rather difficult to properly oversee all facets of the game. It certainly showed here.
OK, now all I need is for Michigan State to lose, Michigan to win, and Notre Dame to be blown out, and that'll kick off my 2013 the right way.
How about that RB for Cincinnati (as previously mentioned, from Michigan)? That kid is a beast. He sees an opening and GOES. Zero hesitation. Gotta like that style.
