Top QBs in the B1G 10. This applies to our schedule because Nebraska has the 3rd best according to this article. Top Returning Big Ten Quarterbacks

Yo!! Protip!!!! Order away games tickets through UC before the switch to Ticketbastard on July 1. No obvious fees going on yet. MIght not be the case after the switch but maybe they'll be nice (i doubt it)

i'm seeing another string of noon time games for us...............

So far the BG and Northwestern State games are at 3:30 in the afternoon and Nebraska is a Thursday at 9:00

The Athletic ($) reported this morning that the various conferences will announce the scheduled kickoff times and TV assignments for the first three weeks of the 2025 season this Thursday. We already know that the Bearcats will play on Thursday night, 8/28/25, at 9:00 ET in Week 1. The Athletic's predictions for the next two weeks to not include UC among the games airing over legacy sites. That makes sense, considering the opponents are BGSU and Northwestern State. Those games will be streamed via ESPN+, in all likelihood.

9/6 versus BGSU and 9/13 versus Northwestern State both 3:30 p.m. ET games on ESPN+

100 days until kickoff!!

John's looking really bad here but we'll probably be the only thing on so who knows.

No one at UC had any choice regarding the kickoff time. The B12 and ESPN worked this out. ESPN has the Boise State @ USF game before the UC-NE game. I don't know why UC's game is the nightcap, other than it's the more premier game. Even though college football isn't huge out West, I'm sure Disney wanted the Pacific Coast people home after work and ready to watch a weeknight game when the NFL isn't yet playing..

Since Cunningham's performance was brought up I decided to see how schools evaluate their AD's. Near the top of the list is standing in the Director's Cup race.It is a formula which considers team success,all sport championships ,revenue, alumni support,etc. No 1 for 23-24 wasTexas.Ohio State was 15.UC was 259 out of 262 division 1 schools.That is an absolute disgrace and embarrassment.Yet 2 years later he is still AD.Think of all the completely irrelevant schools that exceeded our point total. Texas' AD point total was 1377. Cunningham's was 29! Talk about humiliating. It makes me wonder why we even bother supporting our teams.Either JC or UC must take us diehard fans for fools

UC vs Nebraska on Thursday, 8/28 will be at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN

I think Cunningham should get the axe first... along with many others. New AD first, then new coaches for both teams.... unless they both have big turnarounds this year.

The Cats faced Pyne during their takeover of South Bend in 2021.

BGSU is a very solid team. Don't view that game as an easy win. In fact, the only "for sure" win that I see is Northwestern State. Maybe when we finish 3-9, Cunningham will realize that CSS is just another "Dave Curry", and let him go, and then get somebody in who resonates with the players and city.
