The votes are in, and Cincinnati has spoken loud and clear: the University of Cincinnati’s Bearcat mascot absolutely ran away with the top spot in the city’s favorite sports mascot poll. This isn’t just a win, it was a total landslide, with the Bearcat scooping up an insane 45.1% of all votes.
Bearcat Dominance: A Crushing Blow to the Rivalry
Out of 1,035 total votes cast by Cincinnati fans, the Bearcat alone snagged 466 of them. Think about that for a second! That kind of support really puts a stamp on who owns the local mascot bragging rights. And who else was in the mix? Their crosstown rivals, Xavier University, were left eating dust. Xavier’s Blue Blob managed to pull in 14.5% of the vote for second place, with their other mascot, D’Artagnan, coming in third at 8.6%. It’s a clear statement from the fans on where their loyalty lies.
The Best of the Rest: Reds Mascots Battle for Bronze
After the top three, we saw a cluster of Cincinnati Reds mascots battling it out for the middle spots. Mr. Redlegs led the Reds contingent, finishing fourth with 6% of the vote. Mr. Red followed right behind at 3.7%, and Rosie Red rounded out the top six with 3.3%. Rounding out the top 10 were FC Cincinnati’s Gary the Lion at 3%, The Flying Pig at 2.9%, the Cincinnati Bengals’ Who Dey at 2.7%, and the Florence Y’alls’ Y’all Star barely making the list with 2.5%.
So, there you have it. Cincinnati’s favorite mascot is official, and the Bearcat is riding high. What a statement win for the University of Cincinnati! You gotta wonder how long Xavier fans are going to hear about this one.
