Imagine someone from between 1995-2000 took a time machine to 2025, and that person has just learned:

-There's a 12-team college football playoff
-Indiana and Vanderbilt have a legitimate chance to make the playoff
-Penn State & Virginia Tech fired their coaches in season

What do we think, #Bengals nation? Is this the win that turns the season around?

Halftime: #Bengals 17, Steelers 10.

Three of the last four quarters of football, Cincinnati has shown up. #NFL

For the first time in Paul Brown/Paycor Stadium history, the home crowd cheers for a Joe Flacco passing touchdown. Chase dropped the first throw, he was determined to hold on to the second chance.

#Bengals within 10-7, 4:38 to halftime

It's been a minute since I've covered a Big 12 game. Cincinnati hosts #14 Iowa State at noon at Nippert Stadium.

Covering high school football. Good way to spend a birthday.

#Reds fall 4-3 in 11 to the Pirates, and must win tomorrow to avoid being swept in the final home series of the regular season.

On the bright side, they're currently getting help from the Cubs. Plus, the Diamondbacks and Dodgers are tied in the 3rd.

#Reds have won four straight, #Guardians have won 10 straight.

The odds of the Ohio Cup for the World Series aren't likely, but they're not absolute zero right now, either.

The last time the #Bengals started a season 2-0, Marvin Lewis was the head coach (2018). Cincinnati hosts Jacksonville at 1:00, perfect September weather

Keegan Bradley has made his captain's picks for the #RyderCup

Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Ben Griffin, Cameron Young, Patrick Cantlay, Sam Burns

BIG call for Bradley to not pick himself.

BREAKING: Jannik Sinner retires from the Cincinnati Open men's singles final, Carlos Alcaraz wins his first title in Mason.

Matt Digby @mattdigby.bsky.social · Aug 18

First time at the Cincinnati Open, and the first match I cover is Carlos Alcaraz vs. Jannik Sinner. Not too shabby.

45 minutes down, #MUFC have the same issues on defense as last year. Offense has at least been proactive but can still go to another level.

No question Sesko may make a difference, how long until he's brought on?

Matt Digby @mattdigby.bsky.social · Aug 15

So using the NCAA logic, does this mean Ohio State's 2010 record will be reinstated?

After all, there is insufficient evidence that the tattoos and memorabilia exchanged between parties changed the outcome of games....
