Last week marked the return to James Gamble Nippert Memorial Stadium and the official kick off of the 2024 college football season for our beloved Bearcats. The start of the 100th season in Nippert history didn’t exactly inspire Bearcat Nation to change their outlook for this year’s version of the Bearcats. A sweltering hot game, with rain in the forecast, but sweat in the stands was a struggle for the fanbase as they filed into the air conditioned confines of TUC and Fifth Third Arena for a majority of the second half. The Bearcats did walk away with a 38-20 victory, that allowed Towson to linger longer than expected. Win and move on is the mantra in these games. A looming match-up against a former rival, the Pittsburgh Panthers, is on the horizon for the Cats.
Last year’s version of the Bearcats made the trip to the intersection of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers and left Pittsburgh riding high with a hard fought 27-21 victory at Acrisure Stadium. The Bearcats stormed out to a 20-7 lead at the half, and that was about the last time the Bearcats looked like world beaters in 2023. After a mixed showing Week 1, can the Bearcats fix the mistakes that plagued this team in 2023?
We aren’t going to talk much about last Saturday’s game at Nippert. It’s Big Noon Saturday and Big Noon Kickoff at Nippert Stadium! The Bearcats will have the odds stacked against them at Noon on Fox. Will the Bearcats defense be able to slow down former Central Florida foe Dillon Gabriel?

The Bearcats took the trip across I-70 last week and sang Sweet Caroline the whole way home after defeating the Panthers at the Formerly Known Hines Field 27-21. This weekend, the Bearcats look to extend their winning streak against the Redhawks to 17 straight at Nippert Stadium in a Nipp at Nite match-up. Will this be the year the Redhawks end the streak? We’ll find out under the lights of Nipp at Nite (7:00 PM ESPN+)
After securing a 22nd straight Nippert home opening victory, the Bearcats head east to a former Big East Rival. Big 12 Offensive Player and Newcomer of the Week Emory Jones looks to lead the Bearcats to a victory at The Stadium Formerly Known as Heinz Field. The Bearcats are an underdog heading to Pittsburgh to face the Panthers (6:30 PM, The CW (not a typo, I promise.))
As the sting of a disappointing season and an unexpected defection have worn off through the summer months, the time has come. After 228 days, the Bearcats will take the field on Saturday against the Eastern Kentucky Colonels at 3:30 at Historic Nippert Stadium. The first game in the Bearcats inaugural Big 12 Season should be a good litmus test for the season.

As we make our way towards the end of the 2022 Season, the Bearcats face their last regular season road test at the desolate Lincoln Financial Field against Bill Cosby’s Temple Owls (4PM ESPNU). Will the Bearcats be able to avenge their 2018 loss in Philly? Or will the Owls derail the Bearcats Cotton Bowl Hopes? The Bearcats look to finish off with a win against another opponent they might never see again.

The Bearcats bounced back from their loss to Central Florida against the Midshipmen, setting sail from Nippert Stadium with a 20-10 victory. Another nautical themed mascot looms on the horizon, the Pirates of East Carolina. Despite 4 straight victories, the Cats still trail ECU 13-12 in the all time series. A win in this game would even up the series with no further games on the schedule for the foreseeable future.
