CINCINNATI – The University of Cincinnati Department of Athletics released the design of the highly anticipated Pike-To-Binns dual bobblehead Friday, further commemorating one of the greatest plays in Bearcats football history.
 
The dual bobblehead is a representation of the 2009 game-winning Tony Pike to Armon Binns 29-yard touchdown which capped a 45-44 come-from-behind win at Pitt on Dec. 5, 2009.The score clinched the 2009 BIG EAST Conference Championship, capped a 12-0 regular season and clinched a Bowl Championship Series bid for the Bearcats, which led to a matchup with Florida in the 2010 Allstate Sugar Bowl.
 
The 2009 team and longtime voice of the Bearcats Dan Hoard are being inducted in the James P. Kelly Sr. UC Athletics Hall of Fame this October. The weekend of Oct. 18-19 features the annual Legion of Excellence dinner on Friday and an in-game recognition during the football game against Tulsa on Saturday in Nippert Stadium. The team will be welcomed back to Cincinnati and former Head Coach Brian Kelly will attend the Saturday recognition.

The dual bobblehead features Pike delivering the pass and Binns in his iconic touchdown-celebration pose raising the football with an outstretched arm. The memento also includes an audio component which will play the radio and TV calls of the TD pass from the Voice of the Bearcats, Dan Hoard, and ESPN's Sean McDonough.
