[Merkin]

Bill out sick again?

[arizonawildcats]

It seems that way. I hope it's not something serious.

At school tomorrow we have a wear your favorite team's gear day.

I'll be wearing my jersey, both games I've worn it this year were losses to Stanford and Oregon St. I feel no pressure.

Wear it backward, to complete the reverse jinx.

How clean are your lucky underwear?

Smells like a win to me.

Don't get lost.

[Beachcat97]

Line opens at AZ -8.5 for tomorrow.

[Alieberman]

[Chicat]

Can’t wait to hear RJ on the call. He’s the goddamn best.

[CatsbyAZ]

Thanks to a very good UCLA buddy getting us tickets, I will be in attendance tonight. Among my UA tees, I'm wearing the one with the largest and boldest block A.

[84Cat]

[Fishclamps]

I'll have the stream up for those that need it

[Beachcat97]

No excuses tonight.

Cronin has effectively lost his team, and their season has been a shit show.

Yes, we're their Super Bowl, but we are the better team. And we're playing much better since we spotted them a 15 point lead at McKale.

[ASUHATER!]

Insane that this may be the last time we play in Pauley for years and years

Franky, I think thats going to be the case.

I know there has been talk of continuing the series, but just how motivated is AZ going to be to schedule
difficult OOC games when we are in the Killer Big12??? When your schedule may potentially include 2 games each against Kansas/Houston/Iowa State who needs another tough opponent to beat your brains out on???

[Fishclamps]

I would think Tommy would have zero problem doing a home and home with UCLA. Its more likely that Mick wants nothing to do with us to make his life easier.

[Merkin]

UCLA and UA both have financial interests in continuing the series. I really don't expect it to end. Just one game per year, alternating venues or perhaps a neutral site.

[Alieberman]

AZ has interest in continuing to play basketball in California

[azcat49]

Cats are going to win and cover and the game is going over the 147 number

Wazzu is the only team to beat us scoring less than 83 points and UCLA won’t score enough nor will they defend well enough to hold us below 83

[Chicat]

I fully expect UCLA to be their usual stuck-up selves and demand the series be Pauley - Vegas - Pauley.

[MrBug708]

Be gentle guys!

[AZCatGirl]

Our final time playing and this is the best they can do?

[AZCatGirl]

Hope we don't need much time to warm up.

[Fishclamps]

Fuckin hockey...

[Chicat]

Be gentle guys!

We prefer no lube, so bear down Bug.

[SCCats]

UCLA +10 at home.

[azgreg]

[dmjcat]

The Pauley morgue looks half empty

[MrBug708]

Be gentle guys!

We prefer no lube, so bear down Bug.

Tony Padilla is reffing the game, so I'm already mentally prepared.

[AZCatGirl]

I'm glad RJ is being very upfront as always that is an Arizona broadcast.

He really needs to do more of our games.

[SCCats]

And so the horse shit begins.

[Fishclamps]

Keshad!

[84Cat]

KJ3

[dmjcat]

Why are we doubling Bona??? Thats how we got down by 15 in Tucson.

[84Cat]

Damn Bona

[SCCats]

You probably can’t be on a poster when you get blown by and don’t contest, yes?

Who are you kidding??? All of these Pac12 refs DESPERATELY want to become B1G refs. The alternative will be reffing WCC/MWC games. The financial hit would be brutal. Personally, I want to play anyone outside of UO/UW/UCLA/USC in the P12 tournament. The thought of future employement will certainly be creeping into the minds of at least some of the P12 refs.......and shading the final games of the P12 towards the future B1G members will be on their mind (to curry favor)

[UAEebs86]

Flop

[84Cat]

Does Bona know how to run?

[84Cat]

So we can't touch UCLA?

[AZCatGirl]

KJ 3!

[Chicat]

Look at all those UCLA fans disguised as empty seats.

[84Cat]

Ugly game so far. Exactly how Mick drew it up

[LuteIsGod]

Look at all those UCLA fans disguised as empty seats.

The refs are UCLA fans

[SCCats]

So we can't touch UCLA?

Seems like every 50/50 for UCLA gets called, and every 50/50 contact for us is play on.

Except for our forearm shiver on UCLA. That apparently is allowable.
