How the Cincinnati Bearcats got their nickname. Since many of you probably don't know. 

The nickname first took hold in 1914 as a salute to a fiery player on the school’s football team. Fullback Leonard K. “Teddy” Baehr impressed UC fans so much during a game against Kentucky that a cheerleader created a chant that “They may be Wildcats, but we have a Baehr-cat on our side.” 

UC is going on XXX years of being known as the ferocious Bearcats🔴⚫
