BEARCATS NEWS
Jerry Palm’s Bowl Predictions Have Cincinnati In Peach Bowl (Access Bowl) Against South Carolina
Elijah Stewart Will Visit USC This Weekend
"Its good that Stewart made his visit to Stillwater without committing. Its less good that he is taking another visit, presumably his final one, this coming weekend. The University Park campus was the first place that Stewart visited after being released from his LOI to Marymount and will be the final place that he visits before he is expected to sign. That could change in the week to come, but for now that is the going assumption. Thats not an accident, USC seems to be in a good spot with Stewart."
"Because of Cincinnati’s series win over Memphis last weekend, the Bearcats would own the tie-breaker over the Tigers, but nevertheless, they might have to win the series against Louisville to earn that final ticket to the league tournament."
Bearcats Participate in NFL Engagement Seminar
"Draft’s presentation lasted nearly two hours and featured real-life stories and experiences to drive home how important these topics are since a slim percentage of college football players make it onto an NFL roster."
Woodall Breaks School Record at Last Chance Meet
"Since the first outdoor meet of the season, Woodall had been sitting second behind Mary (Danner) Wineberg’s 400m record of 53.30 set in 2002. It wasn’t until the last chance meet in Louisville, Kentucky that the Coatesville, Pennsylvania native snatched the record from the Olympic gold medalist with a time of 53.26. Her time puts her 19th in the NCAA East Preliminary."
Cincinnati offers colossal offensive lineman
"With offers from Charlotte, Georgia State, FIU, among others, Theus understands what the Cincinnati offer means in his recruitment.“I’m really excited about the offer. It’s probably my biggest offer,” Theus said. “It doesn’t mean it’s my No. 1 school because I don’t rank them yet. It’s a big time offer for me.”"

Joey Votto has MRI; has a strained quad – And exhale…
"It turns out that after the MRI, Joey Votto has a strained quad and no damage to the knee. There is no decision on whether or not he will head to the disabled list at this point in time."
Johnny Cueto a thoroughly dominant force
"With a little run support he could easily be 9-0 — he’s pitched at least seven innings each start and hasn’t allowed more than two runs in a game. His two “losses” were 2-1 and 1-0. He had another no-decision when he pitched eight scoreless innings. He’s the best — or at least the hottest — pitcher in baseball right now."
