UC Football Media Guide


If you're as excited as me check out the media guide as a PDF file at the below link. Great pics if you've not been to campus in a while too. http://www.gobearcats.com/sports/m-footbl/09-media-guide.html

UC vs. Akron



Was at this game. Talk about a nailbiter! But any win on the road is a good one.

UC Marshall Highlights



UC over the Thundering Herd. Nicely done with our backup QB.

Take it to them again!

Higher Ground

http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20090827/SPT0101/308270090/1062/SPT/Bearcats+like+Higher+Ground

If you've ever wondered what went into UC being the only BE school to do fall training off-campus you'll enjoy this read. Quite the effort for many parties and seems to be a great experience.

UC WVA Flashback



One of our biggest games ever.

Inside Bearcat Football




The University of Cincinnati and media partner FOX Sports Ohio are gearing up for another season of UC Football on the network, presented by the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky Honda Dealers. To kick off the season, the network presents a half-hour preseason look with Inside Bearcats Football 2009, premiering Monday, August 31 at 6 p.m.

Audio Interview wi BK

Great interview with BK and some interesting comments on moving a QB to LB and the new defense.

UC schedules UT in a made for TV game to be featured on ESPN in 2011. Quite the challenge going to Knoxville to win a game, and I'm already thinking roadtrip!

Dan Hoard on the Defense



Absolutely without question my favorite Bearcat. Great announcer and always insightful articles. Well worth a read, especially for everyone who asks about the D this year.

UC vs. EKU Highlights



After this performance I was really excited to see a big senior year from Grutza. His performance at OU wasn't that bad either considering no run game. Wish he would have gotten his shot at the Orange Bowl, but regardless, one of my favorite tough guy Bearcats.

UC MU 2008 Highlights



Always a good day when you beat the Foreskins! Hope the victory bell stays in Cincinnati!

My how things change. From starting ND QB, to backup UC QB, to starting OLB. DJ is set to have a huge year for us.


Can never have too many highlight videos! Can't wait to see this team take the court.

Howards Back

http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20090822/SPT0101/308220045/1064/Howard+is+back+where+he+started

Great article on our new WR Howard and his circular route to get back to UC. Not only a good story, but illustrates no two players have the same experience getting to be a BCS starting player.

UC vs. RU Highlights 2008



Let's hope we repeat!

BK is Ready for the Season



Nuff said.

Cincinnati's Aim


Great write-up on Pike and UC's rise in general. Still need to increase our base. Got UCATS?

Capital One Mascot Challenge



The Bearcat has been busy training for the Capital One Mascot Challenge. Make sure you're ready to vote Aug 31st!

Game Tickets

As you may or may not know, UCAT members can get home game tickets until Monday. After that they go on sale to the general public. I know many people are used to deciding a week before the game whether to attend or not, but I can already say for a fact a WVU Alumni Associate joined UCATS and bought 600 single game tickets to sell to WVU alumni for their game here. Many of our games, including the home opener, aren't that far from a sellout. If you are interested in tickets please contact me ASAP and/or call the ticket office to reserve today. Schedule on the left of this page. Thanks!

New BE Bowl Agreements

This is very good news in my opinion. Losing the Gator Bowl is disappointing, but our old lineup was BCS, Gator or Sun on a rotating basis (never both in the same year), Car Care, Papa John's Bowl, then International.

The new agreements will most likely be BCS, Champs, Sun, Car Care, St. Petersburg, and probably Papa John's or another TBD bowl.

Overall we've gone from ND taking a Sun or Gator slot 2 out of the 4 years to once out of the 4 years, better destinations in each bowl, and a move up in bowl slots for teams 3-6. Only major negative is not having a New Year's bowl outside of the BCS, but most people feel Orlando is better than Jacksonville as a destination, and the payout is about the same. A surprisingly good development.

Pike on Rivals

Tony Pike interview on Rivals Radio. Nicely done. His thoughts on the jet engine volume level of a sold out Nippert is what I've heard from players over and over. It's not the biggest, but the shape and enclosure lend it to being the loudest. http://vmedia.rivals.com/uploads/1135/826860.wav

Ready for Some Football?



Only 19 days, 19 hours and 30 minutes til kickoff!

Mascot Pickup



The Bearcat has been selected for the Capital One faceoff with our opponents. Glad to see he's getting his licks in early!


UC. Where amazing happens.

Bearcats Rising


Check out Josh's blog at http://joshkatzowitz.com/category/bearcats-rising/. He is the author of the recently released Bearcats Rising, the book of UC football history. It can be found at Amazon or most local retailers. Very much looking forward to getting a copy and I've heard from multiple people who say the book is excellent.

Go to time spot 1:45 and enjoy one of the best videos made.
