Doc: No good to UC vs. Delaware State matchup

CINCINNATI, Ohio - Week after week, the scores are grotesque. Especially in September. But not exclusively. Three Octobers ago, Delaware State went to Michigan and lost, 63-6. Michigan needed less than 30 minutes to gain 727 yards. Bugs do better against windshields.

We mention Delaware State because UC hosts the Hornets Saturday night. Depending on your pain tolerance, that’s either (1) a wonderful “opportunity’’ for the visitors to make money and get some exposure or (2) a fraudulent football game that should not be played.

There is no line on the game. Take the home team and give the piƱata a good whacking. Maybe you think it’s swell that the Hornets, not very in good in their own, Football Championship Subdivision conference, the MEAC, get the chance to play footwipe in front of 20-something thousand fans and on national television, if you count ESPN3 as national television.

After all, they’re getting $325,000 to do it. Who’s going to complain about that?
