Boy Cats out Swim Boy Birds

It may have been freezing outside but Friday night the Keating Aquatic Center on UC's campus was heating up as the Bearcats hosted Miami in a dual meet.  This was a break from Big East competition as they continue to prepare for the conference meet in February.  The men were able to post a win against their arch rival 189-110, but the women weren't as lucky loosing 112.5-181.5   Highlights for the men included Nathan Williams breaking two of his own Keating Pool records in the 500 and 1,650 meeter free style races.  Two of UC's more dominant swimmers also posted victories, here is Senior Jakub Carda winning the men's 200 meter free style event.

Junior Josh Schneider posted a victory here in the 50 meter free style race.

The Cats have two weeks off before they are back in the water on the road against Wright State January 30.

Miami Bound, The Adventure Has Started

This afternoon at 3:00 the Bearcat football team touched down in Miami to officially begin their Orange Bowl Experience. The buses left campus this morning at 11:30 and Bearcat Sports Page.com was on hand. The team got together this morning for the first time since they parted ways last Saturday. A team meeting took the players right up to the 11:30 departure so Coach Kelly and Connor Barwin were the only available interviews. Here is what they had to say.

I don't know how many times he has answered the same question, but Coach Kelly continues to stress that they are going to Miami to win a football game, not sight see. He definitely wants his players, especially the seniors to get the most out of the BCS experience so no one has to look back and say "what if".
