Bearcat basketball.

Today, we went to check out our first Cincinnati Bearcats and Big East basketball game.
The Bearcats were taking on the Villanova Wildcats at Fifth Third Arena.

During the first half, I went to get a drink of water and saw this guy...

And when I turned around UC football coach Butch Jones was standing behind me.
I wish I would have snapped a photo, but I just shook his hand and congratulated him.

At halftime, the Bearcats football team was honored for their terrific season.

The best part of the halftime festivities was when Coach Jones said, "Last time I checked,
there is only one nationally-ranked football team in the state of Ohio." LOL. It's funny
because it's true. And speaking of funny, then there were these guys...

  1. Brings back fond memories. I used to be in RallyCats when I attended UC. I would be in the front row, no shirt with my chest painted. I even got to run out one of the giant flags before the game on more than one occassion. Go Bearcats!
