The Bearcats take on Tulsa this weekend in their Homecoming game at Nippert Stadium. 

Their social media team put the hype train into overdrive on Thursday with a special homecoming video, a famous figure returning to Clifton, and the uniform combo for Saturday's matchup.

Let's start with the homecoming hype video. Watch it below.

Saturday is shaping up to be a full-on celebration of Cincinnati Athletics as ESPN's College Gameday rolls into town. Every fan in the city has been wondering which famous figure with UC-ties would be on the desk as a guest picker.

The UC Athletics' Twitter account posted a video of former Bearcats Baseball standout Kevin Youkilis pumping up fans and telling them to show out in force on Saturday.

Youkilis, a 2001 UC graduate, is a member of the UC Athletics Hall of Fame, and his number 36 is retired by Bearcats baseball. He played 10 seasons at the MLB level, primarily with the Boston Red Sox. Youkilis was a three-time All-Star selection, two-time World Series champion with the Red Sox, and a Gold Glove Winner. He is also a member of the Red Sox Hall of Fame.

Is this a sneak-peek at who the guest picker is on Saturday for ESPN's College GameDay? We'll have to tune in to find out. 

We do know the uniform combination the Bearcats will wear on Saturday against the Golden Hurricane.

Standout senior quarterback Desmond Ridder donned a majestic cape to reveal an all-red combination for Saturday's game. Check out their homecoming threads below.
