Save the Date: UC's Homecoming Set for Saturday, Oct. 6
The University of Cincinnati Bearcats will take on the Miami Redhawks during the Homecoming game at 7 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 6, in UCs historic Nippert Stadium. The Bearcats rivalry with Miami dates back to 1888 and is considered the oldest NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision non-conference rivalry.
The run-up to the big game will again include an entire week of special Homecoming events on and around campus. Among them, the biggest draw is the annual Homecoming parade around campus on game day, which will get started at 3 p.m., four hours prior to the 7 p.m. kickoff.
Parade grand marshals this year will be UC alum and 2002 Homecoming queen Cindy Chiang Halvorsen, Eng '04, and her husband, Ernie Halvorsen, winners of TV's "The Amazing Race" in 2011.
With this year's theme, "We Love Lucy: A Flashback to Yesteryear," Homecoming parade spectators lined along Clifton Avenue are likely to see plenty of floats that pay homage to days gone by and UC's own Lucy, the Cincinnati Zoo-based binturong that has become a regular on campus for UCs big games and events.
