Oklahoma players tried to chug Skyline Chili at midfield to celebrate Cincinnati win, but it didn’t go well

Drinking straight from a can of chili: good or bad?

Cincinnati is known for many things, and Skyline Chili is one of them.

However, the Bearcats saw the city’s beloved chili be hoisted in victory by the Oklahoma Sooners after they defeated Cincinnati 20-6 on the road.

Post-game, Oklahoma’s Jonah Laulu and Dasan McCullough decided to pay homage to Cincy and drink straight out of two cans of Skyline Chili to celebrate getting to 4-0 on the season.

However, both looked very grossed out by drinking from a can of chili and immediately lowered their heads to presumably spit out whatever went in. The celebration was very funny and well-deserved, but the aftertaste probably wasn’t as good if we had to guess.

While we certainly don’t want to besmirch the good name of Skyline Chili, we absolutely do not recommend trying to drink from a can of it.

If these guys really want to take in Cincinnati’s prized chili, they’d be much better off just going to a Skyline Chili somewhere near the stadium after the game.

However, maybe that doesn’t go down as satisfyingly as victorious slurp of on-field chili. Who’s to say.

Cincinnati’s mascot absolutely decked Oklahoma’s mascot with a Mario Kart red shell throw

Great aim by the Bearcat.

Mascots in college football are so much fun and so much chaos, from the havoc-creating Oregon Duck and TCU’s hypnotoad in 2022 to the creepier side with bowl game mascots (looking at you, Tubby). And we love them.

But Cincinnati’s Bearcat mascot took things to a whole new level Saturday during the Bearcats’ home game against No. 16 Oklahoma.

Oklahoma’s and Cincinnati’s mascots had a fun little Mario Kart moment during the game, riding tricycles around the end zone. But the Bearcat, full of chaos, made its attack move and absolutely decked the Sooners’ mascot, knocking it off a tricycle with the help of a Mario Kart red shell.

Maybe it was a staged bit — probably, right? — or maybe it was spontaneous mayhem. Either way, we love some entertaining mascot chaos.

LOOK: Tanner Mordecai hype video accidentally tweeted by…Cincinnati football?

Our Twitter Controversy Of The Week:

We have our first Twitter (or X, if that’s required) controversy of the year. I’m sure some of us out there have been accidentally logged into the wrong account and tried to share a lukewarm college football take before realizing the mistake.

In many cases, that doesn’t matter in the slightest. But yesterday it happened on a scale for Cincinnati Football’s 135,500 followers to see.

Wisconsin has done its “Wired” series throughout the offseason under new head coach Luke Fickell. The program has shared videos of coaches, assistants and players in action as the hype for the season builds. The video has always come from the Wisconsin Football account and shared in a very professional way.

It looks like whoever manages Wisconsin football’s social media activity also used to be logged into Cincinnati’s account during Fickell’s previous job. Whoever it was tweeted Tanner Mordecai’s “Wired” video from the wrong account:

In the grand scheme of things to be tweeted from the wrong account, this isn’t close to the most penal. It’s clear what happened, and everybody on Twitter got a chance to make jokes about new Cincinnati head coach Scott Satterfield, about Fickell’s old stop and more. In the world of online controversies, file this one into the “pretty fun” category.

All I know is we need the season to start. I can’t write about any more Twitter activity.

Top three centers in the Big Ten for 2023

The Big Ten has some stud centers going into 2023 #B1G #GoBucks

We had a really easy time picking guards, because of the abundance of talent at the position in the Big Ten, but pickings are a bit slimmer at offensive tackle and now we see center is a bit slim as well. It is also not a good sign that we have yet another offensive line position group that does not include an Ohio State Buckeye.

I hope someone for Ohio State steps up because it is not the best omen that Michigan has had a representative in every position group and Ohio State has only shown up within the guard list. Now let’s dive into the centers.

Cincinnati Football Schedule What To Know: Who do the Bearcats miss from the Big 12 slate?

The Bearcats gets a nice welcome present as they enter into Big 12 life.

Not having to play Texas is a sweet deal, and this year, not getting Texas Tech on the schedule is a huge plus. If that wasn’t nice enough, they don’t have to play either team from the 2022 Big 12 Championship – there’s no Kansas State or TCU.

It’s not all perfect with a run of three road games in four weeks in the second half of the Big 12 season, but …

Cincinnati Football Schedule What Really Matters

Considering all the changes for the program and the coaching staff as the new era begins, Cincinnati should be able to ease into the schedule.

Going to Pitt isn’t easy, but at least that’s relatively close. Three of the first for games are at home, and there are just two road games before the end of October.

The Bearcats get Oklahoma and UCF at home, playing Houston at Houston is just like life in the old American Athletic Conference dates, and going to West Virginia isn’t all that awful.

Cincinnati Football Schedule What To Know: What does it all really mean?

Yeah, Cincinnati is jumping up in weight class, but all things considered there’s not a whole lot to complain about.

There isn’t a true week off in the loaded and balanced Big 12 – outside of the actual week off before playing Iowa State, of course – but the home games are all manageable, there isn’t a road game that’s a no-chance loss, and there are enough winnable dates to assume at least seven wins.

As long as the Bearcats can own home, it should be a terrific season with this schedule.

Wasabi Fenway Bowl What Happened

– It was tight early with the teams trading touchdowns for a 7-7 game late into the first half, and it was all Louisville the rest of the way. Brock Domann hit MarshonFord for an eight yard score, Jawhar Jordan ripped off a 41-yard touchdown, and the Cardinals had a 21-7 lead at halftime. That was about it. Cincinnati didn’t have any answers.

– Louisville was hardly sharp. It turned it over four times, but there weren’t any real issues thanks to the offensive line and running game. The combination of Maurice Turner and Jawhar Jordan combined for 275 yards with two Jordan scores. The Cincinnati lines couldn’t hold up on either side – the team ran for just 44 yards and managed just 127 yards of total offense.

– This was supposed to be a rough bowl game, and it was lived up to the hype. The weather wasn’t as bad as expected – it wasn’t an excuse.

Neither team was a true representative of the regular season version. Cincinnati gave it everything and it kept on fighting, but it just didn’t have the parts or timing in place. Louisville was at least able to run, and it didn’t get too crazy outside of relying on the O line. It’s all okay – it was a very early game to ease the way into a long day of football.

Wasabi Fenway Bowl Player of the Game

Maurice Turner, Jawhar Jordan, RBs Louisville
Turner ran 31 times for 160 yards, and Jordan ran nine times for 115 yards and two scores and caught two passes for 11 yards.

Wasabi Fenway Bowl What It All Means

After a rough start to the season and a slew of twists and turns, you’re jacked to be a Louisville fan right now. Nothing against Scott Satterfield, but start with the program getting favorite son Jeff Brohm from Purdue as the next head coach. Yeah, losing to rival Kentucky hurts, but closing out with a bowl win always makes the offseason better.

The eight-win season it the best since 2019, this is the first bowl win since then, and it’s the second bowl victory since taking down the 2015 Music City. And on the flip side …

For all the slings and arrows Satterfield suffered as the Louisville head coach, he was able to put this program together and leave it in a great place before making the move to Cincinnati – he should be solid in his new home. This was going to be a rough go no matter what for the Bearcats – opt-outs, injuries, and the coaching change were all a problem.

It was a disappointing run with a loss to Tulane to miss out on the American Athletic Conference championship, and this didn’t help. It was still a nine-win season, the program is off to the Big 12, and there’s a lot in place to keep the success going – this bowl loss isn’t a reflection on where things are at.

The top 4 most watchable non-New Year’s Six bowl games

Oregon vs. UNC is a game for the sickos.

Bowl season is upon us. Or rather, college football exhibition season, if that’s how you feel about it.

Nevertheless, the holidays will be littered with games from the Bahamas to Idaho. We’ll see winning coaches drenched in mayo and covered in corn flakes. We’ll see teams battle for trophies bearing the names of sugary cereal, mortgage lenders and late-night talk show hosts. Some of our favorite players are playing (shoutout to Grayson McCall for sending bettors into a frenzy) while others are skipping.

As usual, this bowl season is shaping up to be a beautiful mess.

Outside of the New Year’s Six games, some of these will be truly difficult to digest. We’ve seen some historically bad football played during bowl season.

But some of the games not played around New Year’s could be really fun.

Here are the four most watchable games from that non-NY6 class, with apologies to the Cure Bowl, featuring No. 24 Troy and No. 25 UTSA.

2 UCF players delightfully skipped off the field holding hands after beating Cincinnati

Don’t skip this story.

After downing No. 20 Cincinnati on Saturday night, two UCF players found quite a way to celebrate.

The Knights got a close 25-21 over the Bearcats, snapping Cincy’s 19-game conference win streak.

It was quite a win for UCF, which entered Saturday’s game near the top of the American Athletic Conference, along with Cincinnati and Tulane.

With just two seconds to go before cementing the UCF win, senior tight end Kemore Gamble and freshman kicker Colton Boomer decided to happily skip hand-in-hand off the field.

It’s quite a way to ring in an impressive 6-2 record on the season — and one that should keep the Knights firmly in the race for an AAC title.

Look how happy they are! How can you not want to skip down the hallway to the fridge to grab another soda for the night games after watching that?

Always remember, folks: Real men skip.
