For the first time, the University of Cincinnati Bearcat football team has cracked the top 10 in the AP top 25. And I was there to watch the victory this past Saturday that propelled them up in the rankings. The 28-20 win moved their record to 4-0 and their #10 ranking in the AP poll as well as a record #11 in the USA Today poll.
Whiteout game – crowd in nearly all white.
It’s been awhile since I’ve watched a game on the ever evolving campus, though not a lot has changed inside the stadium. Yes, you can still buy beer, and they seem to have added Christian Moerlein to their selections. One thing that has changed is that the tickets are actually selling out now. That’s much different from when we could walk into the games while I was a student by just flashing our ID’s, no ticket required.
Catskeller bar inside the new TUC.
One of my favorite changes is that you can head inside the completely renovated Tangeman University Center during the game, including the Catskeller, an awesome new bar/restaurant. We headed that way during halftime to sample some of the wonderful micro-brews that are available for really affordable prices. Just take a look at this beer menu, which rivals some of the better beer bars that I’ve ever visited. Needless to say, the game was a blast!
