If only Texas and Oklahoma had jumped in 2010...man... Sorry, but have to correct the record here. Texas, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma State were all set to make the jump to the PAC but Larry Scott, and his fluffers at ASU, SC, and Cal thought there was no need to expand and “dilute the leagu...

I want to salvage the PAC and I want us to continue to play the majority of our games against schools in the west. But then again I wanted us to stay at GOAZCATS and I was wrong about that so..... I think that the majority of us would prefer a scenario where the Pac12 never had criminally poor lead...

Surreal and awful to hear. God Lou was larger than life on campus. Louis has a young child as well. RIP.

Glowing, inordinate assessment of Kenny Dillingham making an early mark on ASU Football – from 247Sports: “…Kenny Dillingham is living his best life, the 33-year-old head football coach at his alma mater, and in his hometown. Today seems even cooler: Dillingham is decked out in a sweet Arizona Stat...

Whatever happens to him is fine with me. The guy's been a jerk for as long as I've known anything about him, which would be the Miles Simon bank shot to beat Cincinnati in Phoenix over 25 years ago. Note that he also insulted 1.3 billion Catholics world-wide while he was at it. As old-school/good-o...

Just some thoughts. Based on everything that I know about the case, I want him gone. The documents made public are so heinous it forced me to stop reading. The one thing that I keep wondering is what the decisionmakers know that we aren't privy to. I'm not a lawyer, I don't know how it works. Maybe ...

I'm not a law scholar. What am I missing here that Jayden could possibly be allowed to stay at Arizona? I'm trying to even think of scenarios but for the life of me, I can't see one. Was there an incompetent lawyer? Is the leaked document nonsense? Its all so hard to get past. This is disgusting on ...

Fendicent4ever

I don't. I agree that some of the mystique is dead, but I don't think thats a bad thing either. Think about how much money Tommie Frazier and Steve Slaton made for their schools. Dorian plays a sport where success and health are fleeting. If you are marketable now- and from what I've heard its life ...

https://twitter.com/AZDesertSwarm/status/1597309241324613632 Never liked naming a starter even before Fall Camp. Nothing like a QB competition to get your mind straight. It's one thing for Fifita to be OK with being 2nd string as a true freshman, but he can't be too happy about that, especially sin...

Interesting. Few things here. I'm sure there will be initial enthusiasm in Tempe to support Kenny. He's a great story. But, I think nationally all these shiny collectives will peter out or at least settle. I just don't think people who weren't already involved will feel incentivized to participate. ...

Reality. Look, I wish the Pac-12 would work. I wish the LA schools would stay. I wish we'd gotten the Longhorns and Sooners. Hell I have family in the panhandle who are Stillwater alums. I'd have been winning all day with tailgates, sideline passes, the whole thing. I always dug the PAC-10 logos and...

Fendicent4ever

Yes. It won't be Xanadu, but it won't be the Mountain West deluxe with its "aFtEr DaRk!!!" gimmick. More money, seen earlier in the day occasionally on the other side of the continental divide. Only rivalries I care about are the LA ones. Those are gone. Little brother Tempe Voc can come with if the...

I keep going back to how many players participated for Cal in that game a few weeks back. Probably 20 more dudes than we played. Normally I'm the biggest proponent of redshirts, but I think everyone dressed out needs to be playing this season. We have 22 good starters, but we are still VERY young. T...

Fendicent4ever

That game is a W if Juron Criner is the target on that late post pattern instead of Terrell Turner. Not sure if that was a senior night move or not but that end zone bobble represents the difference between (+ the subsequent inability of Vuna to stay home on the zone read or of anyone to cover Ed Di...

Loving this team. There is some real skill on the field. Dorian, Cowing, and Tetairoa are as good as any triumvirate in college football. Tanner is a huge find. Keyan Burnett, AJ Jones and Kevin Green Jr are going to play more and more this season. Fun and encouraging to see how many freshman are co...

Fendicent4ever

We saw a lot more Keyan Burnett last night- wonder if Keyan got the nod during the week and that influenced it.

Great to see our most decorated recruits playing.

Fendicent4ever

Jacob and Kolbe both feel to me like guys who in about 24 months will have the game going in slow motion for them. Very complimentary skillsets and they are VERY young.

I've had a blast reading the boards and magazine comments all day. Reality is the following: Crow is a fart sniffing faculty lounge idiot. Turned a safety school into a commuter school, sold most of the charming parts of campus off (A G**-d***** Pete Dye Golf Course on campus) to build call centers,...

PAC-12 is weird and dumb. Heres' hoping Speedy Luke is healthy. looks like hes acclimated to the speed of college ball and ready to make some big strides. If hes good to go against Colorado hes going to pop a few. I'm not going to hedge my enjoyment on this team bowling or not but its absolutely out...

Congrats Cats. With that said this is a good but not great Bison team. Hope you tear up the Pac 12 this year. My best buddy was a fullback on the 05 team and quit the team in a very personal huff-which he regrets daily. Preferred walk on who had already gotten to 2nd string by spring practice. Ende...

Threads taken a goofy turn. Internet based college football fans are all the same guy. Sorry to break it to you. Unless of course they support Tempe Tech.

Oh yeah. All it takes is boat racing the Golden Gophers a few times haha.

I can't believe Mid Major Dave, Bobbins, or whoever signed off on this.

Would love to know what the logic was scheduling this game. -Lived in Minneapolis until I was 15. A lot of guys I played with against in Pop Warner or thereabouts used to head up to Fargo to play. My best friend was an H-back in 05-06 and will tell you that quitting is the biggest regret of his life...

Fendicent4ever

Well, the team isn't boring. I was reminded of my own high school career. I played on a pretty good football team. 4-5 Pac 10 recruits (2 guys who played on the line for Arizona), a wideout who went to Cal Poly before a cup of coffee on the Browns, and a TE who played in the NFL for 5 years. We didn...

I was at the Oregon/UA game when we lost in 2 OT. Was that the game where Stoops put the prevent defense in end of the 3rd quarter, and the UA fans were ready to rush the field? Beginning of the end for Stoops, just like the Pigskin Classic was the beginning of the end for Tomey. Not a huge fan of ...

Love to hear it!!!

One thing that I've noticed: Most of the highest rated commits played a decent amount against SDSU. Tetairoa, Sterling Lane, Speedy Luke etc. I root for all of our Wildcat commits equally, but here is my question: How does the makeup of this class look compared to last years? I absolutely believe in...

Fendicent4ever

Yeah, I feel like people (not just here, but other Arizona fans around the net) have bought in a little too much into the off season hype again. We wont be the disaster we were last year, but I don't think it'll be some huge dramatic improvement. Not expecting to win tomorrow but would love to be p...

Nah. Scummy move. Thats some curtain of distraction, safety school bull. We are the better school and alumni base, and that means acting like it.

Props to the Sundevils basketball player for not popping this kid in the face.

Fendicent4ever

For the record, I say gut the Pac 12 and bounce right now. The only rivalries I was invested in were against ASU and the LA schools. Like it or not, Arizona has much more in common with Texas than it does with Portland or Seattle. The conference is a stupid albatross that only flies in the middle of...

This is why I avoid these boards after a big loss. Ripping into Tubelis after what he's done this year for this team to me is unconscionable. We all saw what happened last night but JFC let's have just a modicum of perspective. Yup. Hes a 19 year old kid who I'm sure wishes like hell that he had pl...

We've got a road swing coming up that actually means something, so I hesitate to even raise the issue of the arrested development mud throwers, but we'll play them immediately afterward, so I guess I will. Can anybody even imagine an Arizona basketball fan putting up a billboard showing how lop-sid...

Speaking strictly about recruitment, did everyone get what they wanted? Between the recruiting class and the transfer portal this has been Christmas. Fisch has done a very good job in recruiting, HS and the portal. If he keeps doing this, he'll put us in a good place. It hopefully sets a tone that ...

Were good and you're not. Nothing has changed Kyle.

Generally speaking, I agree. There will be more player movement (which is good! Kids should be finding the best fits, even if that means moving up/down levels). Some of the great beloved players in history transferred- while not as common Hank Gathers, TJ McConnell, Troy Aikman, just off the top of ...

Heres what concerns me about this era, aside from the obvious. -God bless Will Plummer, but he isn't an FBS level talent. Games too fast for him at this level. Maybe Gunner, too.

New Mexico State is a historically bad outfit, so its hard to glean too much. Its so interesting to me on my next point.

We need to ostracize and punish unvaccinated people as much as possible. Make them feel unwanted and outcast in every way.

Candidly I never enjoy playing BYU. No upside- and opponent from a smaller conference with a limited albeit national recruiting pool. They play about as dirty of a brand of football (alongside Utah) as anyone in the NCAA. You should beat them every time and yet we haven't been. I also get that there...
