No offense, but RPI is **** as a predictor. They are Top 20 in Sagarin. We are 80. But I damn sure hope you're right.

This. RPI is the dumbest formula I've seen used to rank teams. Sagarin predicts we lose by 13-14. CollegeRPI predicts we lose by 15. Their close loss to Florida is more impressive than any of our wins, even though from what I saw it was a pretty ugly game for both teams.

Which one did you go to? The one on the river is very good. Very tasty ribs. MDM was there too back in 2004. One thing I still shake my head at is that I was playing Alcorn State against another friend's Maine in EA Sports and torching the Black Bears with bombs while in Cincinnati. Of course we all know what happened later that year...

Sagarin now has a Recent rating, which (obviously) tries to account for recent results. We're ranked 62 and Cincy 107, so maybe there's some hope based on us improving and them being pretty ****** the last couple weeks.

I have been to both Montgomery Inn locations on multiple occasions. I was in Cincinnati on business 4-5 times per year 2005- 2012. The one on the river (boathouse) has an awesome view, but there are much better rib locations in Memphis, Tuscaloosa, etc. If you are eating out in Cincinnati - go to one of Jeff Ruby's restaurants. The Precinct is the freaking bomb.

I'll have to try the next time I'm there for a night. My two last times in Cincinnati, I was just driving through (Evansville to Columbus and back).

Can confirm that Jeff Ruby’s is glorious and the Precint is the best one. Best steak I’ve ever had.
