Paint it Red

Heart-pumping. Earth-shaking. Mind-blowing. ZonaZoo is one of the nation’s largest, loudest student sections and a signature part of your life as a Wildcat.

“ZonaZoo is something you have to experience. If you haven’t been part of it at least once, then you haven’t truly been a Wildcat.”

BEAR DOWN FOR LIFE

WHY DO WE SAY “BEAR DOWN” IF WE’RE THE WILDCATS?

In 1926, John Byrd "Button" Salmon, our student body president and quarterback, was critically injured in a car crash. His last words to his coach were, "Tell them ... tell the team to bear down."

Today, this simple two-word phrase is a rallying cry that embodies the spirit of our university.

JOIN A WORLDWIDE NETWORK OF 290,000 ALUMNI AND NEVER FACE A CHALLENGE ALONE.
