Thoughts from Cincinnati practice

Click here for an ESPN interview with JK.

And for Brian Bennett's thoughts on our spring practice click here.

UC's First FB Commit

For next year. One of the top QB's and players in the area. Here's something to chew on:

"Coyne also had offers that included West Virginia, Wisconsin, Illinois, Akron, Kent State, Bowling Green, Boston College, Minnesota, Buffalo, Toledo and Ohio University."

Would we have gotten a kid like this in freakin March years past? I don't think so. Very impressive.

BTW, did I mention we signed the #1 JUCO wide receiver who's already at practice for next year?

Josh Schneider Wins NC in 50 Freestyle


I don't care what the sport is, if you win the national championship in it in college that's impressive. Congrats to Josh! http://www.gobearcats.com/sports/c-swim/spec-rel/032610aaa.html. BTW, there's a good chance you'll see him in the next summer Olympics. You can see the video on http://www.gobearcats.com/

Bearcat Bowl IV


Info for Bearcat Bowl IV
Dear Bearcats Nation,

On April 24th, Cincinnati Football will host the BEARCAT BOWL IV Spring Football Game at Nippert Stadium - a game that will be televised nationally on FOX Sports Ohio at 7 p.m. for every college football fan and recruit to see.

Cincinnati Football and I need you to take that next step with us - and to be on campus on that day to support our student-athletes and your football program. We need you in Nippert Stadium that day to represent this University in the best way possible.

The day promises to be an exciting one for all Bearcats fans. Some of the details you'll need:

UCATS Membership Guide


The 2010 edition of the UCATS membership guide is now available and can be downloaded in PDF format at http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/cinn/sports/ucats/auto_pdf/10-11-ucats-member-guide.pdf. Highlights include:

1. Our UCATS membership has risen from 1,962 members in 2006 to 4,539 in 2010. Outstanding improvement!
2. Unfortunately, our total UCATS membership places us 7th out of 8 football playing programs in the BE and in the bottom half of basketball programs in the BE. To put things in perspective, Louisville has 10,000 equivalent UCAT members, WVA 8,000, RU 5,929, and down to USF (the only team below us) at 3,500.

In today's competitive landscape, with conference realignment looming, and with the difficulty of winning in both football and basketball, support is critical for UC to continue winning at a level we hope and expect. Winning with less is certainly possible, but it lowers your margin for error significantly.

I’m hoping each Bearcat fan continues to consider joining UCATS either for tickets, or simply to support UC athletics. For as little as $50 per year (tax deductable) up to thousands, each additional member regardless of amount helps us achieve our goal. There is strength in numbers. Please consider joining.
