Bear Down Wildcats

Lately I've been staying at the Flamingo but this past weekend I couldn't get the usual deal I wanted so I stayed down the strip at the Tropicana for the first time. In a lot of ways the Trop is like the Plaza (on Fremont) where the rooms are great but the casino floor is lagging. Trop's gaming floo...

So two weeks ago the Rams running backs coach Ra’Shaad Samples accepted a job at Arizona State to become the Sun Devils’ wide receivers coach and pass game coordinator. This week the Rams OC Liam Coen accepts a job with the Kentucky Wildcats for the same position. Two NFL coaches going to middling c...

Nationally Top QB recruit Donte Moore flips from Oregon to UCLA, giving Chip Kelly his next half decade DTR project. IMO, a win for both parties, at least from the standpoint of maximizing the potential for both setting each other up for the most success. It makes sense why Moore cooled on Oregon. N...

All the siblings are in town to celebrate, all of us also U of Arizona grads. The youngest graduating today makes four of us with bachelors degrees from Arizona. Beardown!

I guess the Texas contradiction is that he's more likely to spend time in prison than be fired, if that makes sense? Texas imprisons their population like no other.

Having an African American head coach is a plus, but if CU gets any interest, it's probably due to being an AAU school, which attracted it to the PAC in the first place.

I should know this, but was Emory Jones benched or did he get banged up?

Seems Jones is the much more experienced QB you'd want starting this game. And Bourguet's recent stats aren't impressive.

Other than Arizona State almost always showing up more motivated for the Territorial Cup than Arizona, my big worry for this game is the matchup of ASU's RB X.
