There are rivalries, and then there is the Crosstown Classic.
The annual showdown between the University of Cincinnati and Xavier University is one of the most heated and contentious matchups in all of sports.

From the Huggins handshake-less finish to a cowbell from the stands, I don’t think that’s what SNL Skit meant when they were asking for more cowbell. There is nothing quite like the rivalry between the two schools separated by a mere 2.7 miles.
It is my favorite rivalry in college basketball (sorry, UNC-Duke) and it returns on December 10th when the Cincinnati Bearcats battle the Xavier Musketeers in the 90th edition of the Crosstown Shootout. And while Cincinnati holds the 51-38 series lead. Xavier has won 11 of the past 15 contests.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
