WLWT: UC's bearcat mascot hands out roses to students on Valentine's Day

Just true love for Bearcat and UC

Who doesn't love roses and maybe a hug to go with it?

Bearcat surprised University of Cincinnati students with a red rose and hugs during their lunch hour to celebrate Valentine's Day.  The good cheer helped warm hearts along MainStreet on a frosty Cincinnati day following a heartbreaking Super Bowl LVI for the beloved Cincinnati Bengals.

‘Who Dey’ anyone?

The moment was shared by UC’s Instagram and WLWT-Channel 5.

Featured image of the Bearcat presenting a rose to a UC student on Valentine's Day was provided.
