The 2006 Season
In 2006, the Evansville BlueCats got off to a slow start (1-4) but rebounded in the second half of the season to win 4 of their last 5 games of the regular season and clinch a playoff berth for the second consecutive season. Evansville earned the #5 seed in the UIF playoffs. The team continued their late season surge in the playoffs and claimed an impressive 37-15 road win over the Omaha Beef in the first round. Evansville lost by only 6 points, 32-26, to the #1 seed and unbeaten Sioux Falls Storm in the UIF semi-finals. Sioux Falls went on to win the National Championship a week later.
The Name BlueCats According to the team, the proper and official way to spell the team name, Evansville BlueCats, is with a capital "C" in the word BlueCats. Evansville is a River City and The BlueCat, part of the Catfish family, is the largest fish found in the Ohio River, often growing to over 100 pounds. Blue Catfish are particularly known for the strength and endurance. The BlueCats mascot, T.D. Fiddler, is a giant, walking, kid-friendly Catfish that resembles the BlueCats logo.
