Cincinnati Bearcats Football Tickets

Everyone knew that the Cincinnati Bearcats football program was going to take a step back last season after head coach Brian Kelly departed after a 12-1 season in ’09 that culminated with an appearance in the Sugar Bowl, but few people predicted the fall would be so dramatic. In their first year under new head coach Butch Jones, the Bearcats struggled to a 4-8 overall record and went 2-5 in the Big East Conference. But in defense of Jones, the Cincinnati Bearcats roster was depleted after that stellar season, especially with quarterback Tony Pike heading for the NFL. Now coach Jones will start the process of building the Bearcats program back up, and you can see it happen with Cincinnati Bearcats football tickets from GoTickets.

The Cincinnati Bearcats football schedule features three of the first four games at home at Nippert Stadium, but the lone road game is a tough one as the Bearcats will travel to Knoxville to face the Tennessee Volunteers at Neyland Stadium. October 1 is the date for the big rivalry game against Miami of Ohio, and that one is set to be played at Yager Stadium in Oxford. The Bearcats will also play two home games at Paul Brown Stadium, as they face off against Louisville and West Virginia at the home of the Cincinnati Bengals. The biggest game on the schedule at Nippert Stadium will be the season finale against UConn. You can get your Cincinnati football tickets for any games you want to see from GoTickets.

Coach Jones will have his work cut out for him if he wants to duplicate the success of coach Kelly at Cincy, but he has a track record that shows he can do it. In three seasons as the head coach at Central Michigan, Jones went to three bowl games and compiled a record of 27-13. The success of the Kelly era will benefit Jones when it comes to recruiting, and if he can win a few more games this season that will help put the Bearcats back on the map.
