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.
