Thank you for your great support of our football team again this season. With you in the stands, helping make Nippert Stadium a competitive advantage for our team, the Bearcats have proven to be a tough team to tame. With two games remaining at home in November, we look forward to rocking the house, and our opponents, in our quest for a third-straight bowl bid and seventh in the last nine seasons.
Along with our membership in the BIG EAST Conference comes inclusion in the most elite of groups in all of college athletics - the Bowl Championship Series: (BCS Title Game, Sugar, Orange, Rose, Fiesta). In addition to the BCS, the BIG EAST Conference also has agreements with a number of other postseason bowl games.
- Tostitos Fiesta Bowl (Jan. 5, 2009, Phoenix, Ariz.)
- Allstate Sugar Bowl (Jan. 2, 2009, New Orleans, La.)
- FedEx Orange Bowl (Jan. 1, 2009, Miami, Fla.)
- Rose Bowl (Jan. 1, 2009, Pasadena, Calif.)
- Konica Minolta Gator Bowl (Jan. 1, 2009, Jacksonville, Fla.)
- Brut Sun Bowl (Dec. 31, 2008, El Paso, Texas)
- Meineke Car Care Bowl (Dec. 27, 2008, Charlotte, N.C.)
- International Bowl (Jan. 3, 2009, Toronto, Ontario)
- PapaJohns.com Bowl (Dec. 29, 2008, Birmingham, Ala.)
- St. Petersburg Bowl (Dec. 20, 2008, St. Petersburg, Fla.)
Each of your reserved 2008 football season ticket purchases included a $50 bowl credit. In addition, other fans have had the chance to purchase bowl ticket credits over the course of the season. Postseason bowl seating will be assigned based on UCATS points, followed by the order in which non-season ticket holders signed up for deposits. All season ticket holder orders will be placed before any non-season ticket holders.
Thank you for your advance purchase of a UC Football Bowl Ticket Credit. Our administration is armed with more than 7,500 bowl credits to impress bowl scouts over the next month. This sales total is unprecedented in the history of UC football and will be one of many great examples to the bowl committees that the Bearcats are a team to be reckoned with on the field and in the stands.
Your credit will be applied toward your purchase of a bowl ticket beginning on Dec. 3. Pricing for each bowl is different and the bowl ticket prices will not be announced until the evening of Dec. 7 so be on the lookout for complete pricing and travel information on the Bowl Central page at www.GoBEARCATS.com.
Last year we took more than 10,000 UC faithful to Birmingham and the impact on the game, and on the opinion makers of college football was dramatic. Cincinnati needs to keep forging ahead, full speed, and we need you on the travel squad! Be sure and check the latest bowl information on GoBEARCATS.com and make your plans early to be with our team this holiday season.
Again, thanks for your support as a part of the 2008 CAT ATTACK!
Sincerely,
Brian Kelly
Head Football Coach
