I agree. I hope many, many recruits from various sports were there. And if the Kelce's return next year, as they are threatening, it better be loaded with recruits.

Yep, and the beauty of it is, it's not an event easily replicated by most other universities. How many have brothers as alumni with Super Bowl rings, HOF credentials, and a huge podcast audience? Let's hope UC continues to leverage that relationship.

But guys, if Travis wasn't a Bearcat most of us would loathe him. Especially being a Chiefs player.

You are probably right. If he went to Miami U I would hate him as much as I hated Ben Worthlessburger.

But... he didn't. He's one of US so he's cool.

Though I am glad he doesn't play for the Steelers or Browns. That may have been an issue.

I tuned Travis out due to the ubiquitous commercials with him and Mahomes. That threshold was breached before Taylor Swift, and then he became completely unavoidable. The overexposure is annoying. It’s not that I don’t like Swift, it’s that I couldn’t tell you one song that she sings and I don’t give a **** who she’s dating.

With that said, I hope she shows up at a UC game this year. I’ll scream like a little girl. Eeek! Eeeek! Not really. But having her in Nippert would be great exposure.

I'd probably consider Travis annoying if his brother wasn't an amazing dude top-to-bottom.

Also, Jason helped moderate Travis's worst behaviors when they were at UC, and still does today - they're unusually close for brothers who live so far apart. It seems that Mahomes also plays a similar moderating role for Travis.

Unlike guys I consider prima donas, Travis surrounds himself with good people.

Couldn’t have written this better myself.

Noticed we've had a number of high profile signings in multiple sports the last few days. You don't suppose they were at or saw the New Heights podcast on campus before making their decisions?

Or NIL money.

Yep...if you do the math on that with the ticket prices and supposed attendance, that probably generated close to $500k in NIL. That's a hell of a boon.

Thus, the Kelce brothers continue to promote and help their alma mater. Oh wait, Travis didn't say University of Cincinnati on MNF! LOL.

has anyone seen them post the whole event yet? They did a roundup on it, but haven't seen a video of the entire event.

They said it will come in parts beginning 4/29.
