As things currently stand, the #Bearcats plan to stick with the three remaining nonconference games on their schedule and don't anticipate adding a fourth. https://t.co/dcI84EAXqF

My dream scenario. FCS cancels football entirely. MAC goes to conference only. We substitute Louisville, Pitt, WV, and Texas for our OOC portion of the schedule. This Bearcats team is STACKED and was SO looking forward to this season. So typical of Cincinnati sports, our Bearcats in particular. Shades of Kenyon Martin injury, 2009 TX/NE game, and BK leaving before the Sugar Bowl. GO BEARCATS!
That would be great, but as of now UC will just be playing 11 games with Nebraska being the only game not played.. hopefully they can get another P5 team to replace them, but as of now it seems not as likely as we would like.
Alas, I believe you are right. I did say it was my dream scenario. I realize that would mean all the above would be away games for us, but I believe this team could really be special. Keep up the good work J.T. I appreciate what you guys are trying to do here.
If your dream scenario happened it would be great and I’m here for it lol. Thanks a lot and I appreciate you check out the site, we are trying to make it an enjoyable click!
