I personally know the head ref for this game. He and I are both referees in Spokane. I handle high school games, and I’ve done a couple with him over the last year. He doesn’t realize I’m an Arizona fan, and he has literally talked crap about our program. He uses his laptop to review plays with the ...

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..... The PAC died the moment UCLA and USC left. It was never going to be salvaged. I get some wont be happy...

Your comment makes it sounds like we play half of our games in California, which is the only reason why players from that state would come to play for UA. In an average year, we play only two football games in the state. One in Northern California, and one in Southern California. I really don’t thin...

With Oregon. Washington, Utah. Stan f ord, UC Berkeley, and an upcoming SDSU program which has a new stadium and no longer has to compete with a professional team, the PAC won't be a zombie conference. This is a better scenario than us being in a conference which brings with it a situation that com...

TucsonCat

Wrong. Simply wrong.

Show me your crystal ball that accurately predicts the future, please?!? We know the networks like ESPN and FOX are the ones who really pull the strings. What we don't know is how these entities will look circa 2030. It's unlikely they will look like they do today, as more people cut cords, rumors ...

TucsonCat

Stop responding to PHXCATS. He’s freaking delusional. His ability to reason is so clouded by his red and blue colored glasses that he thinks a conference with Alabama, Georgia, Auburn, LSU, etc., (not to mention Michigan, Ohio St., USC, Penn St., etc.) will eventually come and ask Arizona if they wo...

I'm not worried about the buyout. We'll find the money if an invite to the B1G or SEC ever comes. Let's get off this sinking ship first. Clemson, FSU, Miami, and North Carolina can't seem to come up with $100 million to buy themselves out of the ACC. But somehow, we'll have $100 million waiting for...

TucsonCat

I don't get why ACF2 and PHXCATS just can't swallow their words and admit that the conference is imploding as the majority of us have been predicting for over a year now. They keep changing their stance ever so slightly each time there is movement towards the PAC12 (10, soon to be 9) falling apart ...

TucsonCat

Fans looming short term. Heeke and Robbins thankfully looking long term Walk us through this. Add SDSU, negotiate a comparable TV/streaming deal, and wait for the invite to B1G/SEC by 2030? SDSU, SMU and UNLV or CSU and yes. Get close to or beat the Big 12 and position to be a school in the SEC or ...

This round. In 2030 it could be different Unless we somehow morph into a football powerhouse by 2030, it won’t be any different. Stop pretending otherwise. It will be a race to 24 teams for each the BIg Ten and SEC. Both have 16 currently so that leaves 16 openings total. These are the only schools...

Wow, Oregon considering the Big 12? Never would have thought that. We better move quick. You know what is way better? The Big Ten. If the current structure remains in place with the Big 12 exit fee the chances of ever being in the SEC or Big Ten go way down That's what I keep saying long term needs...

I said this in the other thread, but I wouldn’t take a dang thing away from this tournament. Boswell was literally the only player on his team that was attempting to play team ball. That meant that he was often caught in a position that would normally lead to a high efficiency pass, or shot, but his...

TucsonCat

I wouldn’t take away much of anything from this tournament. He, along with the rest of the team, was not put in much of a position to succeed. The only guys who looked semi-decent were those nearest the basket sweeping up the garbage and putting back dunks/layups, because of all the bricks that were...

TucsonCat

Looked like coaching. Everyone was playing 1 on 1. Kylan got a good amount of his shots blocked inside by a help defender and nobody else moving..just standing around on perimeter. This US team is borderline unwatchable. Team-centric players are going to struggle in this tournament (see Boswell and...

TucsonCat

Is it me or has CTL widened his offer net? With two full years under his belt to build relationships with the American recruits, he probably feels that he has established the rapport and reputation he needs to effectively pull some of these kids to AZ. I think he was selective, because he needed to...

TucsonCat

Kylan is a bad passer for a PG Kylan isn’t a bad passer. He just needs to build some continuity with a roster. He has an innate feel for the game that is wasted when his teammates are consistently missing opportunities to cut, or dive to the hoop. The lack of off-ball movement by this USA team is a...

TucsonCat

Unpopular opinion maybe, but I think we're gonna be completely fine without Kriisa. I’m still TBD. One thing that Kerr brought was the balls to take big threes in big moments. And he hit his fair share. I’d like to see who can do that before I believe we won’t miss him at all. No doubt. I think it ...

Agree with ECC, talk about lazy reporting. Boswell will take the reins at PG and play Krissa minutes. Most expect him to have a huge year so that part of the article seems like a big swing and a miss. I would give AZ an incomplete st this point. Let’s see how this offseason winds up "Most expect hi...

TucsonCat

I think most on this board and his coaches and teammates. If you look at his numbers last year it’s not hard to conclude ge should have had more minutes. The post is not a knock on Krissa but rather what I thought was lazy reporting. He compared Krissa with Bradley when I think Boswell should have ...

Look, I liked Krissa, but his freshman year stats were not exactly those of a world beater. He averaged 5.5 points, 2.3 assists (vs 1.3 turnovers), and 0.5 rebounds, in 22.2 minutes per game. All while shooting a stellar 33.3% from the field, and 36.3% from the three point line. All on a team that w...

Don’t let Few’s good ol’ boy routine fool you. He’s a bloodthirsty scumbag, who would literally run over his own mother in order to be canonized.

He needs to tighten up his handle (he’ll definitely imp...

A couple of additional thoughts on this topic.
