The Cincinnati Bearcats are a collegiate football team currently members of the Big East Conference. How did the Cincinnati Bearcats get their name? The story behind the Bearcats name begins with a cheerleader named Norman "Pat" Lyon chanting for a full back named Leonard "Teddy" Baehr, while playing a game with the University of Kentucky Wildcats in 1914. The cheerleader shouted out, "They may be Wildcats, but we have a Beahr-cat on our side." The crowd started to cheer, "Come on, Baehr-cat."
Cincinnati won the game 14-7, and a cartoon was created showing a soiled and stained wildcat being chased by a character titled "Cincinnati Bearcat." Upon Teddy Beahr's graduation, the name no longer stuck with the team until it came back unexpectedly in major media print from a game with Kentucky in 1919. Since then, the world has known them as the Cincinnati Bearcats.
The Cincinnati Bearcats football team won it's very first conference title in 1933. They earned their 11th and most recent conference crown in its first Big East championship round in 2008.
In the Big East Conference, they have a major rivalry with the Pittsburgh Panthers called the River City Rivalry, where they compete for the Paddlewheel Trophy. The other major Big East Rival are the Louisville Cardinals, which started in 1929, where they have competed for the Keg of Nails since 1975. It's a mystery as to whether or not there were nails in the Keg of Nails originally, but there are none today.
They have had an out-of-conference rivalry with Miami University, located in Oxford, Ohio, since 1888. The third oldest rivalry in college football, and the oldest rivalry west of the Allegheny Mountains, the award for winning this game is the Victory Bell. This is the longest running out-of-conference rivalry that still exists.
They have brought home championship titles in all of the following years: 2008, 2002, 1964, 1963, 1952, 1951, 1950, 1949, 1947, 1934, 1933. There conference history started in 1910 when they belonged to the Ohio Athletic Conference until 1924. In 1925 they became members of the Buckeye Athletic Association until 1935. From 1947 to 1952, they were members of the Mid-American Conference. They joined the Missouri Valley Conference in 1957 through 1969. They have also been members of the Metro Conference, the Great Midwest Conference, and now belong to the Big East Conference.
