The Bearcats are Heating Up 🔥
Big 12 respect on the line and one last spin from DJ Mike. Don’t miss it.
UC and UCF have faced off 10 straight seasons, and if you ask Knights fans, this is their Super Bowl. If you ask Bearcats fans… It’s more like that Mad Men scene: “I don’t think about you at all.”
Still, it’s a fun rivalry, and this year it actually means something. At 4–1, the Bearcats are officially in the Big 12 championship conversation, are knocking on the door of the Top 25, and are making people across the country take notice.
Last week’s 38–30 win over Iowa State proved the offense can hang with anyone. Sorsby keeps stacking big performances, Tawee Walker is running people over, and the defense is due (and I mean due) for a big turnover. My interception prediction should’ve hit last week, but the refs were terrible.
This week, we’re throwing down from 9:00 AM to Noon on the Commons before the noon kickoff. Forecast: low 70s, partly cloudy, and perfect for football.
Here’s what’s on tap:
🎧 DJ Mike Wazowske’s Final Set of the Season – our guy’s going out in style before he ties the knot later this month!
🍕 Trophy Pizza – 22 large pizzas delivered by 10:00 AM
🍺 Garage Beer – stocked and ready (plus BYOB for the community cooler)
Bring your crew, WEAR BLACK, and get ready for another classic morning down at The Den.
