More on Canfield

Canfield was accused of hitting an Erik Monsen in the head with a bottle early Sunday. $500 of the $5,000 bond was posted for him. The charge is a second-degree felony with a maximum prison sentence of 8 years. He's due back in court on Feb. 26 for arraignment.

And here we were led to believe that all this sort of nonsense would end when Huggins left. Well obviously it hasn't.

I think we have to lay the blame right where it belongs with Nancy Zimpher. She was in charge when Huggins got a DUI, when the assistant got a DUI, when Bright was found with a concealed weapon.

Now we have this travesty.

She is the common demoniator in all of those incidents. UC has obviously lost institutional control under her leadership. Time to dump Nancy.

7:35 - Travesty?


LOL! This happens EVERYWHERE...What it is is a drunk teenager acting like a fool. Stupid? Hell yes. Should he be punished? If allegations are true, hell yes.

Travesty...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This couldn't have possibly happened now that Huggins is long gone. Somebody must be making this up.

These things happen on occasion. With Bob Huggins they happened CONSTANTLY. She expect it to happen sometimes. She does not expect it to happen over and over with the same offender. Now do you get the difference?

Attacking someone with a broken glass bottle is an act of a thug using a potential lethal weapon. No room at UC for thugs. Dismiss him now!

9:06, there still exists due process. Now go back to your mid-major little 'x' blog.

Huggins must have recruited him. That's the only possible explanation for this. What did you say Bob coached? - Nancy

How sad is this? The little XU fans helped create the legend of Huggins reputation once he built up teams that challenged them on the floor, and now they can't abandon the Huggins talk with him three years removed from town.

Just freakin' pathetic.

accused...hitting...with bottle

Brian Kelly has suspended Canfield pending completion of the legal process.

And because it was the waste of perfectly good beer!

Throw the book. Throw it now.

Yet another Cincinasti "student"-athlete has made the police blotter. So much for changing the criminal culture down there at Cincinasti College!

UC = UNLV East

...Or maybe not - UNLV has cleaned up its act, has a winning record, & will make the NCAA tourney this year.

Suckeye Mike,

Please heed the advice given on a previous thread. Seek the professional help that you so desperately need. Or does stupidity just run in the suckeye clan?

Buckeye Mike, meet kettle.

How did that Clarett charecter work out for you?

Or Henton for soliciting a prostitute?

Nancy Zimpher must step down. All of this has happened under her watch. I mean why blame the player?
It is not his fault. Zimpher must go now.

This happens b/c UC is a thug school. there are no actual decent human beings that go there. everyone is "keeping it real." maybe if UC wasn't in the ghetto they would have problems like this.

 
at 12:06 AM Anonymous Anonymous said...

correction.

they "would not" have these problems

12:03 there are a lot of stupid comments on this blog from people who really have no idea what they are talking about both in sports and in life however you somehow just mananged to distinguish youself from all of them. maybe you should walk outside maybe read a book go to school do something because the university of cincinnati is a great school. you would know that if you werent too busy doing whatever low lifes like yourself do. go back to xavier

Clifton is not "the ghetto".
But, it is nice of you to say that the 38,000 or so people that go there now, aren't decent human beings.

Yesterday I read where someone referred to UC basketball as a "fiasco" and that this "fracas" wouldn't end until Z left. To the person who said this:

You do realize you only mean it that TO YOU the "fiasco" won't end until she leaves. For most people there is no fiasco: Mick can recruit. Mick can coach. Team's getting better. National reputation is intact.

No Problem.

You may have vowed never to get over Hugg's firing, but you should remember that with time the trauma is yours alone. Most folks just naturally can move on, but there are always some that can't. And that's you.

So UC is full of thugs? What about the former X player who is serving time for murder in prison? That's something that's always conveniently forgot around this city.

 
at 8:30 AM Anonymous Anonymous said...

A bottle over the head? Sounds less like thuggery and more like a bar fight in an old cowboy movie.

At any rate, I'm sure he will get his sentence reduced and learn a valuable life lesson. I highly doubt Canfield will be a repeat offender.

What does a football player's actions have to do with Huggins or Cronin?

Remember who we are dealing with here. You have to lower yourself to their level to be able to understand it.

So - just act like a 4th grader and it will all become clear.

can these people be as stupid as they pretend? is it possible? no it isnt, the stupid people are the ones that take them seriously. I used to but now it is comedy relief. some are pitiful I admit and sometimes I feel guilty about laughing about them, but tou really can't tell which is which, so who can blame me for laughing at a genuine idiot? cheaper than going to the circus and these people are even uglier.

9:09...I hope you enjoy cheering for the felon, with your son and daughter sitting next to you in the stands. Get your priorities in order!

Yes, this is all Bob Huggins fault. I don't know exactly how he did it, but you can be he is the one responsible. UC21 ALL THE WAY!

 
at 11:43 AM Anonymous Anonymous said...

CSA, you realize your opinion has no basis in fact, right?

Thanks to UC21 and the hiring of Mike Thomas and the trickle down hiring he has done, UC has a 44% increase in applications and football finished ranked 17th in the country. I'm thinking that's just all good.

 
at 11:44 AM Anonymous Anonymous said...

Hey Bill, how about an article on the success of football last fall affecting that huge spike in applications?

 
at 11:51 AM Anonymous Anonymous said...

Enough about Bob Huggins.

Enough, enough, enough.

Get over it, you bunch of cry babies.

I think we have to lay the blame with Trevor Canfield.

For hypocritical Xavier fans -

Just in case you "forgot", here's a little news from 2005:(WCPO News)

"A former Xavier basketball player has been sentenced to ten years in prison for the beating death of his neighbor.

Andre Smith, 30, pleaded guilty Monday to voluntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence in the beating death of Maxim Dudinov.

The 18 year old was found dead in his Akron apartment in May 2004.

Smith admitted hitting him in the head with a Russian machete tool that belonged to the victim.

Smith played for the Musketeers in 1993-94 before transferring.

He is also the son of 1970's Cleveland Cavaliers star, Bingo Smith."

And how about old #34, Lloyd Price?

Bucky Covington sings:

"Not just a different time

Since when did a 6'5" 295 pounder start feeling to need to smack someone on the head with a bottle?

We just CAN'T forget about Bob, can we? But who will remember Z-Dog when she's FINALLY gone????

Many people will remember Zimpher.
for these reasons in the following order.

1. She fired the basketball coach

2. Was president when UC went into the big east

3. She has lead a suscessful campaign to put Academics first at UC

On Canfield it is truly a shame but I'm sure this little episode will only be a minor chapter in his life. As long as he learns from it

UC remains Thug U. It's a ghetto school with ghetto athletes.

Guess it wasn't Bob's fault after all that UC's reputation is in the crapper. Hear that Nancy?

 
at 11:09 PM Anonymous Anonymous said...

Well, back in the 80's, I got the crap kicked out of me by some NKU b-ball players and nothing was ever written up about them. They never were suspended. The press just did not seem to think it was news worthy.

However, UC, the City School, this must be news worthy. Print it as fact and don't worry about ever printing a correction.
