Before every season it's worth noting what started it all. From one of UC's best players, from the most memorable game, to what put us on the map. A bunch of local kids who went unrecruited from "bigger" schools (at the time). Never forget what is possible.

Uptown Cincinnati Debuts Bearcat Block Party
WHAT: The Short Vine Business Association, with support from UC Athletics and the Uptown Consortium, will bring a unique "tailgating" experience to college football fans for all UC football home games.
For each UC game at Nippert Stadium, Short Vine between W. Corry and Charlton will host a street festival featuring live entertainment, food, cold beverages and a few surprises.
The party starts two hours before kickoff and lasts until two hours after the final play. Couldn't get tickets? Watch the game on our outdoor big screen and don't miss a minute of the action.
WHEN:
| Date | Schedule | Game Time |
| Saturday, September 11 | UC vs. Indiana State | 12 p.m. |
| Saturday, October 9 | UC vs. Miami (OH) | TBA |
| Friday, October 22 | UC vs. USF | 8 p.m. |
| Saturday, October 30 | UC vs. Syracuse | TBA |
| Saturday, November 20 | UC vs. Rutgers | TBA |
| Saturday, December 4 | UC vs. Pittsburgh | TBA |
WHERE: 2600 block of Short Vine in Corryville
WHY: With the construction of the UC practice fields underway, many UC football fans needed a tailgate area to call home. The Short Vine Business Association and the Uptown Consortium created a unique and exciting street event called the Bearcat Block Party. The event includes tailgate staples like music, food and drinks. Area lots surrounding Short Vine will be open for attendees to park their cars. Then, partygoers can take a short walk or hop on a convenient shuttle to the festivities.
DESCRIPTION: For each UC home game, the 2600 block of Short Vine will shut down two hours before the game and two hours following, for a street festival featuring live entertainment, food and beverages, and a few surprises. All Short Vine favorites along the block will also be open for business. Additionally, the Block Party will broadcast the game so attendees won't miss a minute of the action.

Tailgate Warning Order
Lots of updates coming and the first tailgate info will be posted soon. Here's some housekeeping items.
1. If you plan on attending a couple or more games this season it is very helpful if you sign up for Chris's eInvite by emailing her at chriscarleton@hotmail.com. By doing so, and then by accepting the invite each game and putting down if you're bringing sides, donating and not bringing, etc it really helps us manage how much beer and food to buy so we're not stuck with a ton of extra.
2. We're expecting a ton of people this year as UC has sold over 22,000 season tickets and the friends of friends list of people attending our tailgate has grown to immeasurable amounts. Everyone is always welcome: friends of yours, family, visiting fans, etc. Since I'm asked every year we'll publish recommended donation amounts for those coming. Nothing is mandatory, but help is greatly appreciated. Besides the kegs and a large portion of the food, our tailgate spots cost us triple what we paid last year. Winning has it's price I suppose, but suffice to say we won't turn down assistance. This is as good a time as any to thank the few supporters of mine who give above and beyond to help me afford my spot, without their assistance I simply couldn't do this. Thank you.
3. We're going to attempt to have everything at our tailgate you could need. Beer on tap, grill food, serving stuff, tables, chairs, footballs, cornhole, TV's, heaters, etc. About the only thing we need are sides to compliment the meal. If/when you bring something I recommend a throw away container that you won't miss when we head to the game. There is so much stuff, and we realize you're parking far away, we'll have it all and what you bring is best if you don't mind losing it in the shuffle.
4. The Tailgate. We've already got one Noon game. We're bound to have more. Besides setting up early, we plan on partying after the game as well if the weather holds. Plan on making a day out of it if you want. We paid for it, we're going to use it!
I'll probably update the first tailgate info sometime this weekend or shortly thereafter. We're 10 days from the season opener and 17 from the home opener! Let me know if you have any questions and go CATS!

Cronin talks Canada trip
Not sure if you're aware, but UC BB is playing in a pre-season Canada tourny this year. Big advantage is the extra practices ahead of the normal season. Let's hope we break the 20 win mark and make the NCAA this year. Been too long....
