Cincinnati football radio broadcast to streaming on ESPN+

The Cincinnati Bearcats play No.1 Alabama in the 2021 Cotton Bowl at 3:30 p.m. today as the No. 4 Bearcats make history being the first Group of Five team to play in a College Football Playoff semifinal game. 

And the game will be on ESPN. But also on ESPN 2 and ESPNU and available on ESPN+. It's "wall-to-wall coverage" as the saying goes. 

But if you want the local feel for the game while you chow down on your Boldly Bearcat ice cream and Skyline coneys, you may want to download the ESPN+ app.
