That whole 2009 year was an exciting season, minus the ending. That Pitt game was a thing of legend.

yes it was. Like lots of folks never really paid much attention to UC football until Kelley got here. Then it became exciting. Hope we can get back to that level. We are trending in the right direction.

Being a older fan I never really followed UC football growing up. Was more interested in OSU. Joined the Military in 1973 and being outside the city OSU was a national brand and on TV. UC was invisible outside the city and even in the city to a great extent in those days.

I think the last time I was this excited for a UC football game was when I drove up to Pittsburgh and watched the Cats beat the panthers on a closing seconds TD. Can't wait for Saturday at 0800.

Best game of my lifetime. I enjoyed some of the bowl games, beating Ron Dayne and the Virginia Tech game but the way we fought back was incredible. I loved Mardy Gilyard.

Yeah that was probably my favorite Bearcat football win of all time.
 
Still a year or two away. We look slow comparatively and getting manhandled on the lines.

Yes, disappointing but about what I thought could happen. This team has overachieved and been amazing. Looking forward to seeing what they do for an encore next season!

Seems to be a problem every year. UC could have easily been in this game if not for 3 or 4 trips to the redzone with 0 points.

I agree with a better kicker the game would have been more competitive for sure. That said, I do believe the better team won this one. Especially considering they had home field as well. If we finish with a win against ECU it will still be a very nice season coming off a 4-8 one. Really excited about the direction we are heading.
 
I really liked our chances at the upset. Looking at their results all year I thought we were primed to upset them. But they showed they were the better team. They killed our O line. What a great atmosphere there too. Sucks we laid an egg in the biggest spotlight, but at least we got a glimpse of what we can become.

They definitely were the better team. Would have been nice having it be a one score or tie game though at half instead of being down like 15.

Kicker cost us 14 points in first half
(1) missed extra point
(3) missed easy goal
(3) missed easy field goal
(7) kick was so low it was blocked and led to TD
Total 14 points
This completely put us in huge hole.

I think he only missed two field goals including the block. And then the extra point on top of that so I think it was seven points max. Not to say I wouldn’t replace him
