CINCINNATI SPORTS LAST WEEK

UC is still ranked number 5 in the BCS standing.

Chris Henry had surgery on his broken left forearm. 'Slim' is done for the year.

Todd Benzinger, first baseman on the Reds last World Series championship team, has been named to manage the Dayton Dragons next year. Ken Griffey Sr will be the hitting coach for the Reds' minor league A team.

Ochocinco was not allowed to 'cut the mustard' this week and was fined '20 large' for his sideline antics with a dollar bill last week. Overall, he has definitely rebuilt his local image.

In high school playoff action on Friday, Wyoming knocked Monroe out of the fun and Winton Woods stayed alive.

Xavier opened the basketball season with a predictable 83-57 win over Youngstown State. The Chris Mack era has begun.

Brian Kelly's UC Bearcats were very impressive at times and very gruesome at others. They held on against West Virginia for a 24-21 win to go 10-0. They have a difficult time standing up against a good running attack. Tony Pike returned for four plays in the red zone...he threw two TD passes.

On Saturday night, Elder upset St. X and Anderson topped Middletown. This has been the craziest football playoffs in memory.

The Bengals' defense completely throttled the Steelers and Cincinnati won 18-12. Bernard Scott ran a kick-off back for the only TD of the game.

UC still stands at number 5 in the mystifying BCS standings.
