Bear Down Wildcats

Not to excuse their performance but the QB that gave us so much trouble last year went down early with an injury. Yes, Trenton Bourguet. I don't know how I watched most of ASU's unwatchable, 55-3 loss to Utah, but I did; probably because I had other, way more entertaining games on the other screen,...

Red-out for Utah? Oh please no. The red outs, blue outs, green outs, white outs, black outs, etc across college football are way too frequent. Let everyone wear what they want. These feel like something from 15 or 20 years ago when they started up, and back then felt like a gimmicky fade that would...

3. Honolulu Hawaii - Right as you deboard the plane it feels like you've been in Hawaii for a while. The open-air terminals allow the salt rich Pacific air to really wake you up from those long Mainland flights. And, appropriately, it's about the friendliest airport. Flying through Honolulu earlier...

My Mom's side of the family is all from Indiana. Us kids at the holiday dinner table heard many accounts from Uncles and Aunts on what a legend they made of Bobby Knight. Along with Michael Jordan, Emmitt Smith, and Dan Marino, Bobby Knight is among the first sports figures I was conscious of as a c...

Looking at that home slate, am leaning towards attending our home game Vs Houston. Only team on that list that I haven’t witnessed in person. Rest I’ve seen.

Two of our *new* home opponents are teams we’ve recently had home/n/homes with: Texas Tech & Houston.

Before a wild game kicked off between USC and California last Saturday, its kickoff was delayed by a group of undergrads squatting on Cal’s midfield logo until field security handcuffed demonstrators and escorted them out of the stadium. Amidst delaying the kickoff by 15 minutes, most onlookers assu...

ESPN posted a graph showing the damage UCLA's pass rush was able to do to Colorado's Shedeur Sanders last weekend. 22 pressures, 17 hits, 13 knock downs, and 6 sacks. This is a big advantage for UCLA going into Saturday Vs UA. Though Arizona's OL run-blocked well Vs Oregon State, they did not protec...

One test of good coaching that I've often heard is - A well coached team gets better as the season moves along. I couldn't be happier with how the month of October went. Arizona Football plays better week by week! Against FOUR straight ranked opponents (including Sept 30th Vs Washington). Coach Jedd...

What a clock killing grind of a drive

LFG!

Two things I didn't think I'd be saying this Saturday:

1. Game of the year in Berkeley

2. USC's defense has the bite of a jellyfish

Ok, maybe just #1 is the surprise

CatsbyAZ

Good for Cal. Making sure the door DOES hit USC in the ass on their way out of the PAC.

CatsbyAZ

Well their defense has steadily gotten worse all season, and people realized probably after our game that you could just sell out for the pass on every play. Also that it's fairly easy to pressure Williams. Wait for Lincoln Riley to lose patience with the running game, even when it's working (again...

The media and one upset at the beginning of the year made Prime's team a star. September was the month of Prime October is the month of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce November has a lot to live up to.

Will be there as well, a group of six of us. Two of which are formers coworkers of mine who are UCLA grads. They've never experienced a football game in Tucson and wanted to make use of their last shot given the Bruins bolting to the Big Ten next season.

In the aftermath of USC’s loss last night, had the Trojan post game radio analysis airing, and in the midst of all the negativity aimed squarely at Lincoln Riley and his antisocial pressers, one of the broadcast contributors made what I thought was a very apt critical comparison of Riley: “He’s coll...

There must be something psychologically deep-rooted about having your sense of self-worship validated by fame, namely the ludicrous admiration from the public (fleeting as it is, Vanilla Ice), that risks blinding the celebrity to the worst of their own terrible natures, even as their harmful action...

Out of all the good takeways from yesterday - dominant road win, Noah Fifita 34/43/342yds, the feeling of a program building win - I think my favorite is how strong this team came out after losing two very close games late. After last week's emotionally draining let up Vs USC, Jedd and Staff succeed...

Already a back and forth contest between #8 Oregon @ #7 Washington in the 1st. Can't stand either program or fanbase but at least entertainment and high stakes are on display.

Starting ASU RB Cam Skattebo defends himself on what is otherwise a clear late hit. He follows the KR out of bonds and stands on the sideline for a moment before turning back in bounds to knock a Colorado defender down.

Waking up this morning, I feel worse about losing to USC than in the moments after watching the loss last night. So close. Have to take the next step of learning how to win (as has been said), and going into the Big 12 I want a more organized defense and tougher lines. But the hustle is there, skill...

Even though we're facing another QB primed to air it out, the Wildcats defense held up better than expected Vs the Huskies last Saturday and hopefully they can slow Caleb Williams down even a little. Either way, I feel much better about going against USC. Whereas Washington has a sense of playing de...

Austin TX - Much larger than expected, which, as I learned, makes sense given how Austin metro has doubled their population since my 90s childhood living in the San Antonio/Austin corridor (1995 - 1.0 Mil; 2020 - 2.2 Mil).

This is the closest we have to a Tucson Radio thread, but I was pretty sad last month to turn to 1400AM and find out KTUC - Tucson's oldest radio station - has flipped their Oldies format to Talk Radio.

Udub is really, really good. To say I'm not confident about facing Washington is a major understatment. I severely underrated the Huskies going into the season, thinking their defense would take a step back and major losses on the OL would slow the offense. Instead the UW has absolutely torched eve...

Today's line for USC @ ASU is -34.5. This is one of the few games with a line that wide where I'll take the over, USC winning by 35 or more. And I could even see the Trojans beating the line by halftime. After trouncing Stanford last Saturday 56-10, Caleb Williams was vocal about wanting e everybody...

Needless to say this week's road game Vs a mid-to-poor Stanford team is a must win? Stanford looked slow and predictable in beating Hawaii, were mercilessly steamrolled by USC, and last weekend upset by Sacramento State. Because after Stanford the Wildcats next SEVEN opponents are currently RANKED: ...

New reports say he was suspended but he will eventually be fired I am sure. Hope it’s for cause (instead on a settlement to quit), then he would forfeit the remaining 70m on his contract .
