TicketsThe Bearcats finished out Tuesday with a team trip to Main Event. With the building temporarily closed down for Cincinnati, a room full of arcade games and all 28 bowling lanes were filled with players looking to get their competitive juices flowing a few days early. Let It Fly viewers know how much Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner loves his bowling.
After Main Event, coaches and members of the UC staff took part in a bingo night at the hotel. Things got competitive, so you already know who came away victorious. Coach Fickell was among the winners.
The Bearcats awoke Tuesday to an early virtual press conference. Tight end Josh Whyle talked about the pride he takes in his decision to come to Cincinnati. The 4-star recruit from La Salle High School chose to stay home and be a Bearcat despite reported offers from many major programs in the Midwest. It was another Ohio tight end recruit that proved what was possible at UC: Kansas City Chiefs' All-Pro Travis Kelce. "It's like he's set a standard in our TE room," said Whyle.
The team bused back AT&T Stadium for a midday practice. With the game just two days away, things were light––no pads, just scout.
When the team arrived back at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine, select coaches and players took production meetings with the ESPN crew to give them the lowdown on the team ahead of Friday's Cotton Bowl Classic.
Meanwhile, members of the Bearcats Digital team put the finishing touches on the special encore presentation of Let It Fly, a 32-minute behemoth of behind-the-scenes footage documenting the Bearcats' transition from a 13-0 season to their departure for Dallas. The episode takes fan behind closed doors as cornerback Coby Bryant finds out he's won the Jim Thorpe Award and standouts like running back and Jerome Ford and wide receiver Alec Pierce receive their diplomas at winter commencement. Ryan Royer and Kyle Bolden talk about the origins of Cincinnati's "Pump It Up" obsession and select players, including Garnder, Bryant, Ford, and quarterback Desmond Ridder reflect on the season and how the ferocious support from Cincinnati helped make this dream possible.
Dallas is starting to fill with Bearcats faithful. We're less than 48 hours to kickoff in the College Football Playoff. Read More - Whyle, Tucker Take Ohio-Bred Motivations Into Cotton Bowl
