The University of Cincinnati Bearcats football team plays to win.
And that includes the team's mascot.
The Bearcat was among six university mascots that competed in a three-versus-three tug-of-war contest Thursday on Fox & Friends.
The contest, which aired in celebration of College Colors Day, pit the Bearcat, the West Virginia University Mountaineer and Rutgers' Scarlet Knight against Tennessee's Smokey the dog, the Kansas Jayhawk and Pitt's Panther.
