I've lived in Columbus my whole life and have been kind of back and forth on rooting with the Bearcats. On the one hand, I like rooting for Ohio teams and was happy to see them rise up. On the other hand, I'm first and foremost a Buckeye fan and I was in the car listening to Cincinnati radio for about a half hour as they bashed the Buckeyes for anything and everything while trying to promote the Bearcats a few years ago (in the back and obviously didn't have control of it). Since then, I've found myself both rooting for and against depending on the circumstances/mood/etc.

I have a friend at work though who is a huge Bearcat fan and he got tickets for the Louisville/UC game and offered to bring a couple of us. I hadn't been to a live football game since I graduated from OSU in 2008/2009 and figured it would be fun. Four of us went, 2 primarily Bearcat fans, 1 primarily Buckeye, and 1 primarily Fighting Irish fan.

I will say that I really enjoyed my time. The campus area was very nice and I would have liked to walk around more in the day time, the pizza we had beforehand was great, the stadium was neat where it was in campus (I can also understand expansion issues better after having seen it too). It rained and was cold, but the crowd seemed into it and I was definitely cheering hard for the Bearcats.

Oh.Oh.Oh...U.C.
