So sad to see the comparison with ttOSU spring game. They had a giant buildup all week and then a whole lot of articles after the game. The game was on national TV with the fox first team announcers and Urban. It was on the radio as well to all the affiliates. UC has to step up. 82000 fans were there. Complete game experience including their band.

BEARCATS UPDATE: Coach Satterfield Shares Optimism After Spring Game Highlights | Fan Recap
The spring game is one of the few times that I get my grandkids to campus. They love all of the pregame activities. Once the game starts, they tend to start chirping "I'm bored". That being said, I do not understand why families with young children or grandparents such as myself do not show up. This was a great opportunity to get photos of the kids with the Bearcat and cheerleaders. It is a free event and the weather was perfect. Oh, the attendance was greater yesterday than a regular game when I was a student.

This needs to be a big thing to bring in the recruits. When were you a student?

Early to mid 80's. I still stand by the statement that parents and grandparents need to get little ones down there. Not only to enjoy the activities but to raise little Bearcats. I hear too many young parents stating that it is so expensive to do anything with the kids. Well, this is a free event as well as going to the parks (which we take the grandkids as well). I tell my daughter all of the time that you do not need to spend money to have quality time.

I would but my grand kids live in Jersey plus their dads are alums of other schools as are their moms. The school needs to build it up. There needs to be better promotion --- Calling John Cunningham. They need to bring in the alums -- The kelces - Juice - Fesmond and some older guys. Maybe have a class challenge of most alum attended from the classes. I live around a lot of lakes and farms with animals, but the kids are active in sports, dance , gymnastics etc. Birthday parties are really big in Jersey and so about every weekend there is one for their friends. ne of mine is next Sat, and one the following.

Let's be honest. We aren't really competing with Ohio State. They are a national contender EVERY year. They have NIL money out their wazoo. Almost every recruit is 5* or 4*.
