The unofficial online home for fans of the University of Cincinnati Bearcats. Part of Collegiate Sports Nation (CSN).

Schedule released today:

Don't plan on dropping ESPN+ anytime soon! I figured that would be the case as the Big 12 has had a lot of games on ESPN+ the last few years.

More AV club production and semi amateur announcers. Sweet.

Hey...if it gives me another experience like watching John Brannen think of 100 different ways to kill a student sideline reporter at Miami, I'm down with it lol.

I was just thinking of that little dude. Laughing.

I bet he changed his major after that game.

Should we circle that NKU game on November 19th?

A truly putrid OOC. Why not pay Miami and Ohio U. to come here, if trash mid-major buy games are what we want? At least those two have local interest. And why is UD at the Coliseum? That should be home-and-away. Arguably the best mid-major program and fan base.

We don't need good OOC opponents when every conference game is going to be a Q1 or Q2 game...there's no benefit in having more difficult games on the schedule at that point. And the trams we have cost less than a MAC team would for a buy game.

Dayton game is downtown because it is an NIL fund game and it can't be held at either University.

I'm good with OOC schedule but why are we going to DC to play Howard U., anyone have any info on that other than they won their league last year.....

No inside information. Maybe just filling a scheduling hole; maybe a relationship Wes has with their coach? Road wins are generally beneficial and maybe there are recruits in the talent rich D.C./Maryland area that Wes wants to cultivate too by showcasing the Bearcats in this major market.

We should do something interesting like Bowling Green. They make a video where they should the logo of each opposing team and have the coaches young children try to guess what the school is.

Dang if I can't find it, but it was fantastic.

Could it also be because Howard is an HBCU?

Not to get political, but I seem to recall after 2020 it became fashionable for big flagships to give HBCU's a bone.

Although Howard's a weird one to throw a bone to - they're the 3rd largest HBCU, the most well-regarded academically, and the wealthiest HBCU by a factor of 2.

they still got that five star big?

I thought you were asking if we signed Flory

I went ahead and got Champions Club tickets for one of the MTE games in November....Anybody know what comes with a champions club ticket? What kinda snacks we talkin about?

Wes Miller says they are still in the waiver process with Aziz Bandaogo and Jamille Reynolds.

I don't know if they will have them all for that game or not. Usually there is some sort of popcorn or pub mix and they have free pop machines as well. Only been in there a few times. There are a bunch of pay food options as well.
