Dear Bearcats Fans,

Thanks so much for your tremendous support for your University of Cincinnati Bearcats Football Team over the last 12 months.  Our coaches and football student-athletes appreciate your terrific support throughout the regular season and most recently the PapaJohns.com bowl game. 

Several members of our football team have described their emotions in playing games in a sold out and screaming, Bearcat-crazy Nippert Stadium, as being the best of their careers.  From the tailgating to the post game, you were a part of Cincinnati football at its best.  You also gave our players the experience of a lifetime, and I join Coach Brian Kelly, his staff and our student-athletes in expressing our sincere gratitude.

Success breeds success, and we enthusiastically look forward to our spring football game, BEARCAT BOWL II, on April 26 in Nippert Stadium and on to our opening day kickoff next fall against Eastern Kentucky on August 28. 

Thank you again, Cincinnati, and Go Bearcats! 

Sincerely,

Mike Thomas

Director of Athletics

The University of Cincinnati
