UC Homecoming Weekend. It is hard to believe how much has changed about UC football since we were in college. Back then, football seemed to be an afterthought. We might (or might not) go to a game on a Saturday afternoon. We never had to worry about getting a seat...or paying for them either. A quick flash of our student ID and you were in. The stadium was NEVER full - in fact, I would say it was mostly empty. At half-time we'd leave without even looking at the score...who even cared? Stand in a 20+ minute line for the bathroom? Are you serious? $6.00 for a beer and $3.00 for a water? Geez...times have changed, and I LOVE IT!!!!
UC (as of yesterday) is ranked #5 in the country. The Bearcats 7-0 start is the first since 1954. There were 35,099 fans in attendance for the game and the CATS won 41-10 over Louisville. CRAZY!!! Thanks to Grandma Nikki and Mike, Dave and I were able to enjoy the festivities - Edwin spent the night getting spoiled! I loved seeing our campus packed. It makes me proud to be an alum.
Don't worry, Edwin didn't miss all of the Homecoming events. On Friday night, we attended a Carl H. Lindner Honors-PLUS event. Most of our readers probably know that Dave and I both graduated from this program. It was a great event and everyone was so excited to meet Edwin.
