Bear Down Wildcats

...but Michigan TOTALLY made the right call to fire Rich Rod after only three years.

I've never been so happy to see the team called Zona.

Oh yes, McEnroe. We are serious now.

Weeeeeeeeeeee

What it means: Good question. Let’s not all act surprised that the Pac-12 is eating itself alive. We’ve seen this year after year, so we shouldn’t be shocked. Obviously, the Wildcats will be ranked. Duh. At 5-0, they clearly have to considered a viable contender in the Pac-12 South and a playoff contender. For Oregon, it has to be back to business. There are plenty of opportunities for them to win the North Division, get to the Pac-12 championship game (maybe a rematch with the Wildcats?) and advance to the playoffs.

A playoff contender you say......

Yep, after less than 2 1/2 seasons RR has beat 3 top ten teams.

Pac-12 refs remain the most inventive in the business. Both teams were the subjects of the officiating crew's creativity at various points, to widespread dismay.

Among many other things, each team had a drive-killing defensive stop ruined by a suspect penalty. Oregon got another crack at the end zone early after a Zona player, uh, spoke to a Duck. And the Wildcats punched in the go-ahead TD with three minutes to go after an Oregon player was flagged for celebrating a clutch third-down stop by taking a bow. TAKING A BOW.

No, Pac-12 refs. It is you who should take a bow.

Brad Allis with the first post game podcast available.

Can't find the source image for the picture that's on espn front page right now...but these are fairly similar:

BAH the second image doesn't fit on the board. don't know how to fix it.

Here you go POM. There may be a simpler tech way, but I place the image on a image hosting site and size it for the message board.

Thanks One of the minor quibbles with the new message board is the inability to get the images to allow sideward scrolling.



Oh, I think this is the espn picture:

Personally I think we were vastly underrated, but whatever keeps us in the headlines....

Now the Wildcats own the best win this season.

...

Arizona will be greeted with some degree of skepticism by pollsters in advance of the selection committee's "Hello, World" moment. The Wildcats 15 days before needed a Hail Mary pass to beat California, which didn't win a Pac-12 game last year, and had not been able to put away UTSA and Nevada until late in the fourth quarter. Yet with USC coming to town on Oct. 11, and road trips to Washington State and UCLA ahead, the Wildcats can quickly prove they are not one-hit wonders and establish legitimacy that would quash any skepticism.

USC game is so huge right now. Can't have a let down after beating a top team, like we have the last 2 years.

ARE YOU F'ING SERIOUS!???!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!

***POST REDACTED***

Bear Down.

what the hell, don't be posting about that team in this thread!

way to ruin good karma!

I opened it to post about ASU's sure-to-be fail.... Got a little excited. Have to credit Strong though... never seen someone come in and steal a hail mary like that.

Sark deserves to be fired for the last 5 minutes of that game. HOLY SHIT

Guy is such a mediocre coach anyway.

Or just another example of how ASU loves to copy us.

I cant wait to play USC next week. Bj fing Denker almost beat em and they lost to a BC team killed by the same Fing Denker. Family weekend bliss

I agree with POM, get that ASSU Shit out of here and open it in another thread

Forgive me



Ten Bear Downs and I promise to quit picking on my sister.

half tempted to delete any and all references to that other team....but I fear the damage has already been done

So....the last undefeated team in the pac 12 is....Arizona?!?!

are you SERIOUS?!?!

Who the hell saw this coming before the season started?

I wonder if larry scott is fuming.

Amazing!

^ Wow. That's unreal to see.

UAdevil wrote:^ Wow. That's unreal to see.

it sure is, and awesome.

So Arizona is involved in Final 4 discussions in Basketball AND Football.

Let's all enjoy this.

This better not be '83 all over again. This program needs to prove it can handle a top ranking. No probation to hold us back this time.

Top 10 ranked (#13 in another poll). are you serious? is this really happening?

Never would have thought this would happen before the season began.

In...sane.

A couple of good things is that RR has been here before and should know how to push and relax his team. Another is our QB only knows one thing, championships. He expects to win.

I like our chances

I have a lot of family in Oregon and I am just now starting to hear from some of them lol. My Grandpa is spending the next month down here. I'm slowly turning him into a dedicated Cats fan. He went to his first game at McKale last year and should be coming with me to the Red/Blue game. My Aunt's boyfriend is very well connected at Oregon. His grandson is a redshirt freshman quarterback and his daughter is one of the higher up's with Nike Golf. Sounds like he and Phil Knight are buddies as well. Anyways, he just texted me that hes still not over the loss this year(let alone last year). They are licking their wounds once again. They hope we finish the year just as strong as we have started it

No, Pac-12 refs. It is you who should take a bow.

In the first half, we received some BS call from the ref as well - the personal foul on 4th down because of taunting. Oregon continued the drive and got a TD. At least the refs were consistent..

Didn't the Duck player "bow" to the Arizona player? Can't remember if I read it here or elsewhere, but a bow is actually written into the rules as an example of taunting. Easy call actually if that is the case.

NO. I think that he ran by the Arizona bench and then took his BOW at midfield. I could be mistaken too!

He ran all the way to (almost) midfield and did the bow. Hence 'Oregon bows out of National Championship'
