Revenge has been brewing. For a long time. 61 years to be exact. The amount of time the Cincinnati Bearcats have been waiting to avenge its last loss to the Navy Midshipmen is old enough to hold an AARP membership.
If you don’t know, UC and Navy are set to square off in Annapolis, Maryland as fellow American Athletic Conference members this Saturday. The game will be the first played between the two programs since 1956. So obviously, following last week’s Battle for the Victory Bell, the rivalry hype will not be as high this weekend, but this is still an important game for the Bearcats, as it serves as their league opener.
