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

Yep, once the deal was inked with the Big 12 it became time for us as fans to step up that ladder too. Of course the bonus was a CFP appearance months later. My goal (is still) to see Nippert completely full for every home game. FCS opponent? Who cares, how awful that opponent is. I'm going to see the Bearcats.

Some here may say SEC or B10 teams would have empty seats for those or MAC opponents too, but they'll still fill a lot more seats than our total capacity based upon their stadium size. No excuses anymore; "these are the good old days," as Carly Simon sang. Carpe diem.
