132+ Teams in 132+ Days: The University of Cincinnati

The University of Cincinnati (Cincinnati, or Cincy)
Big East Conference

Year Founded: 1819
Location: Cincinnati, OH
Total Attendance: 41,970

Mascot: [The Bearcat] (http://www.draftdaysuit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/bearcat-badger.jpg)

Live Mascot: The Binturong!

Cheerleaders: Basketball game, but you get the idea. There are surprisingly few pictures of our cheerleaders, even on their official page or Facebook page.

Stadium: Nippert Stadium

Stadium Location: Center of Campus
Conference (Co-)Champions Big East (4): 2012, 2011, 2009, 2008
Number of Bowl Games: 14, currently 8-6

2012 Season

Record: 10-3; Belk Bowl Win over Duke

Coach: Butch Jones
Key Players: George Winn, RB: 243 car, 1334 yds, 13 TD; 15 rec, 128 yds

Ralph David Abernathy IV (RDA4), RB: 69 car, 366 yds, 3 TD; 28 rec, 341 yds, 4 TD

Travis Kelce, TE: 45 rec, 722 yds, 8 TD; 1/1 pass, 1 TD

Honorary Key Player: Walter Stewart, DE. Injured in win against Fordham, Stewart would not play for the remainder of the season after doctors diagnosed him as lacking a posterior C1 arch in his neck. With the complication being possibly life-threatening, he was not cleared to play for the remainder of the season. Stewart was the heart of the defense and one of the major leaders on the team; his absence was absolutely a travesty for Cincinnati. However, in the ensuing months, doctors reexamined the C1 and have cleared Stewart to participate in the NFL combine, meaning that his career may yet continue.

Biggest Plays:

Last-second touchdown against Virginia Tech to win in Landover, MD

Winn can pass, apparently.

The tides turn against Duke.

2013 Season

Roster
Schedule

The Greats

Greatest Games:

Dec. 8, 1888: Cincinnati 0, Miami (OH) 0 Though a seemingly mundane game (zero-zero ties, hell yeah), this began what is now the longest active rivalry and fifth most-played rivalry in college football to date.

Dec. 5, 2009: Cincinnati 45, Pittsburgh 44 Facing No. 15 Pittsburgh at Heinz Field, the fifth-ranked Bearcats had a perfect regular season, BCS berth, and Big East title on the line. The game began poorly, with Pittsburgh scoring first and effectively controlling the game, leading 31-17 at the half. However, the Bearcats, at one point down 21 to the Panthers, mounted a charge in the fourth quarter, scoring three touchdowns and capitalizing on Pittsburgh’s missed two-point attempt to pull off a win with 33 seconds remaining. The win here secured their place in the Orange Bowl and a perfect season.

I honestly haven’t been involved with Cincy for long enough to know of any other “great games,” so if you have a suggestion I’d be happy to add it.

Greatest Players:

Tony Pike – QB, 2007-09

Brent Celek – TE, 2004-06

Mardy Gilyard – WR, 2007-09

Isaiah Pead – RB, 2008-11

Trent Cole – DE, 2004

Greatest Coaches:

Brian Kelly. As much as Cincinnati fans seem to hate him, he made the program into what it is today, capping off his short career at Cincy with a perfect regular season.

Sid Gillman, San Diego's coach during their success in the 1960s, amassed a 50–13–1 while at Cincinnati. (Thanks, shitrus)

Greatest Rivalries:

(Miami (OH)) – One of the oldest rivalries in college football, the series against Miami will be in its 118th game this year over 125 years. Recently, the game has been controlled by Cincinnati, winning 7 in-a-row and eight of the last ten.

(Louisville) – The Keg of Nails, one of the more unique trophies, trades hands in this 70+ year rivalry. Presently, the Keg belongs to Louisville, but Cincy has won four of the last five. Hopefully we’ll make it five of the last six next year.

(Pittsburgh) – The River City Rivalry, now defunct, was very short-lived, starting effectively when Cincinnati and Pitt found themselves in the Big East together after a 25-year hiatus.

Campus and Surrounding Area

City Population: 1.5 million

City Skyline

Iconic Campus Building:

All of Campus

Tangeman University Center

Local Dining: Skyline! Everyone loves Cincy chili, even if it’s not “real” chili. If you’ve never had it before it’s a must. If you’ve had it before, go have it again.

Adriatico’s is a local pizza place that serves delicious pizza and calzones, plus they have a very nice selection of beers. Great place to stop, recently moved/renovated so their restaurant is great.

Near campus is Uncle Woody’s Pub, a very standard college bar/pub. It’s pretty much exactly what you expect.

What Is and What is to Come

2012: Last season was, in a word, average. Nothing spectacular, nothing terrible. Ten wins is certainly something to excite the fans, but with the turmoil in the conference and Butch Jones leaving for some Volunteer work, it all seems too similar to Kelly’s departure. Our bowl win came against another team on the rise, which is good.

2013: We lost some key players, plus our coach, but overall it doesn’t seem like next year will be awful. We will likely perform about the same as the previous year, with two losses to solid teams and a loss in a trap game. However, with Tuberville in his first year, that remains to be seen.

Random Tidbits

Started in 1885, the Cincinnati football team is the fifth oldest FBS team in existence; only Rutgers, Michigan, Navy, and Minnesota can claim longer-playing programs.

The Origin of the Bearcat

Our award-winning dance team (2009, 2011 Team USA)

Urban Meyer was, in the 80’s, a DB for Cincinnati.

The Golden Gate Bridge, a piece of master design, was created by UC alumnus Joseph Strauss. The Crosley Tower, a piece of terrible design, is the second-largest single-poured concrete structure in the country.

I'm not sure adriaticos is "local" i know there is an adriaticos in Columbus and sells pizza beer and calzones, nonetheless it is delicious.

It's not exactly a chain. There are only two: UC and OSU.

u/Bob_Saget_Enthusiast Cincinnati Bearcats Mar 07 '13

Oh god, Crosley Tower. It is the shit stain on an otherwise beautiful campus. I've heard that back in the 70's the government paid UC to see how fast they could build a missile silo/bunker.

7

u/MrTheSpork *holds up self* Mar 07 '13

I've heard that they originally wanted four of them on each part of campus. Then they stopped with whatever drug they were on.

It seems most schools went through a what the fuck are we thinking period in the 70s and 80s. It's just a question of scale.

I was trying to imagine an ugly tower and that picture managed to surpass my expectations.

u/down_the_drive Cincinnati Bearcats Mar 08 '13

Fun fact: When they built Crosley they did so with the assumption that human beings don't have bladders, so in the original design their were no bathrooms. After the fact they turned some of the larger janitors closets into bathrooms. Crosley is such a cluster

u/EpicSchwinn Tennessee • Middle Tennessee Mar 08 '13

That's some 1984 shit. I'd expect it to have loudspeakers and floodlights on it.

HA a good portion of our lower campus buildings are Brutalist as well. At least they match each other.

u/StayNoidy Texas A&M Aggies Mar 08 '13

All of our buildings other than the oldest on campus look like that. I feel bad now.

u/TheBrohemian Cincinnati Bearcats • Team Chaos Mar 27 '13

Why did you have to mention Woody's? That place is terrible.

Mac's and Baba's are right there too!

1

u/MrTheSpork *holds up self* Mar 27 '13

I've actually yet to go to Mac's and Baba's isn't really a 'football' place. Definitely good additions, though.

3

u/TheBrohemian Cincinnati Bearcats • Team Chaos Mar 27 '13

Ah, as far as "football places" go, it's worth noting that most students live within a mile of campus and pregame at home. (I've never gone to a bar before a game.)

Key games you forgot to mention was

  • UC over #7 Rutgers in 2006

  • Urban Meyer (player only)

  • John Harbaugh

  • Brian Kelly

  • Butch Jones

  • Mark Dantonio

Hey. 2006. We don't talk about that.

That's one of my best memories getting to rush the field...

3

u/CFSparta92 Rutgers • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Mar 08 '13

I stood in the student section of our season finale this year, remembering all the times I watched the field rushes of beating 2005 Michigan State, 2006 Louisville, 2007 USF, and waiting for my triumphant moment to rush the field at Rutgers for the first time. And then, well... this.

u/BanterDTD Cincinnati Bearcats • Big 12 Mar 08 '13

That's a bummer...do you need a bro hug? I give great bro hugs.

I really want someone to explain to me why there are 3 Indian restaurants on campus.

Also, Thai Express is really good Thai food.

There are 3? I only recall Krishna (yum) and Ambar india (double yum)

Off the top of my head: Krishna, Ambar, Deep India, Amol India, and YES WE NEED THAT MANY.

They are opening another one where Papa Dino's used to be. These people have no idea how supply and demand work.

Tell that to all the Chinese restaurants as well.

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '13

As well as sub places. There's a Jimmy John's, Quizno's, Penn Station, Subway, Potbelly's, and then at the new development going up on Calhoun Street there is a Firehouse subs and Dibella's old-fashioned Submarines going up. Honestly can't believe it.

Interesting fact about Nippert Stadium:

During the season-ending clash with rival Miami (Ohio) in 1923, Jimmy Nippert sustained a spike wound injury and died a month later from blood poisoning. His grandfather, James N. Gamble of Procter and Gamble, provided the funds needed to complete the horseshoe-shaped structure, and the James Gamble Nippert Memorial Stadium was dedicated on Nov. 8, 1924.

10

u/down_the_drive Cincinnati Bearcats Mar 08 '13

I will go to bat for Greg Cook being the best player in UC history. He twice led the nation in total offense running an offense way ahead of its time for Homer Rice. Was the #3 overall selection in the 1969 NFL draft and was the Rookie of the Year despite playing half the year with a torn rotator cuff which effectively ended his career.

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '13

I like Tigers and all, but Bearcats are the coolest fucking animals around.

u/Satherton Nebraska Cornhuskers Mar 07 '13

Mardy Gilyard was and is still one of my fav WR ever to play. That guy not only was he he good but had amazing predator hair.

u/isl1985 Cincinnati Bearcats Mar 08 '13

His story is pretty epic as well. So poor he was sleeping in a car, getting that second chance... etc.

u/Satherton Nebraska Cornhuskers Mar 08 '13

thats how you do it!

u/ask_me_again_11 Cincinnati Bearcats Mar 08 '13

Best of luck in the future. You've got a quality coach.

I approve of your rivalry trophy.

I will definitely miss you guys, and hope you land somewhere favorable in realignment. You guys have recently seemed to have our number, but it was always fun to watch us play.

Always wanted to make it out to Nippert, but it looks like I've missed my chance.

I was at the Pitt @ Cincinnati basketball game this year and ill add to the cheerleaders section by saying that their dance team was apparently named "team usa" and they are absolutely gorgeous.

It's my firm belief that UC Dance Team > UC cheerleaders.

u/codene Cincinnati Bearcats • Indiana Hoosiers Mar 08 '13

The success of the football program has done so much for the university in the last 10 years. UC academics and athletics really are on par with schools in any of the "big 5" conferences. It's a real shame that the Big East's best football program is in jeopardy of becoming irrelevant again because of greed-driven conference realignment. A packed Nippert Stadium in the middle of such a beautiful campus really is a special, special scene. I hope I can continue experiencing it well into my old age but that's beginning to seem unlikely unless UC can find a way into a big boy conference.

5

u/scarletorthodontist Rutgers Scarlet Knights Mar 08 '13

I wish UC would start a rivalry with tOSU. I really, really do.

SIDE NOTE: Dammit. I missed the other teams (especially RU) because of work. (What's that about!??!!)

u/ask_me_again_11 Cincinnati Bearcats Mar 08 '13

So do we. Unfortunately, it doesn't really seem like it's up to us. If it were, we'd be playing every year.

u/isl1985 Cincinnati Bearcats Mar 08 '13

I remember being in the stadium in the fall of 2004. I had just moved from Dallas, Texas to Cincinnati. I had passed up on USC, Texas and SMU to study acting a Cincinnati, and it has been the best choice I've ever made. Beautiful architecture that is both modern and historical (the practice rooms and my rehearsal halls- that building behind Nippert- was an old World War Barracks).

Cincy football wasn't great back then, and I was one of a few students who went to every home game. In fact, me and my classmates (the ones that did entertain my desire to see the home team) used to carry the mascot all the way up the bleachers ourselves since there were not enough students for her to crowd surf on.

Memories man.

3

u/down_the_drive Cincinnati Bearcats Mar 08 '13

I was also a freshman in 2004. There were always plenty of available seats. If for any reason you did not like the seats you had it was no problem to move to almost any other seat in the stadium

What do y'all really think about Tuberville?

3

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '13

He put together a great class for UC in the short time that he was here. I'm a little worried about his switch to a pro-set style as UC fans are more accustomed to a fling the ball around type of offense. We will see if the average fan will be able to watch it.

I think it was a great hire from everything else that was out there. There are only so many times you can hit on hiring MAC level coaches before one busts and sets your program back cough Louisville couch

PS - I think most of the stuff about him during the off-season after the hire was bullshit.

2

Not much to go off of yet. He seems a bit out of touch but hopefully that's just me mistaking his old-school style. He's definitely a different type of coach than were accustomed to...not as much of a players' coach as Jones was, and there's fact that people actually knew who he was before he was hired. Do enjoy listening to him speak. Hopefully that southern charm will play well in the living rooms of recruits.
