* Because his ejection for targeting occurred in the second half, UA linebacker Cody Ippolito will have to sit out the first half against Hawaii. It’s possible Arizona could appeal the ruling.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Arizona Athletics and the Arizona football program are looking forward to a special night this Saturday when the Wildcats take on Hawai'i as WE REMEMBER the upcoming 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor and the loss of the U.S.S. Arizona.
The athletics department is asking fans to enter the stadium by 7:40 p.m. in order to take part in a memorable National Anthem, coin toss presentation, and halftime tribute to recognize, remember and honor the memory of the U.S.S. Arizona and its officers and crewmen, including the 1,177 who lost their lives on Dec. 7, 1941. The game presentation will also include a moment during the game to thank all veterans in attendance.
As part of this remembrance, Arizona Athletics has extended a special invitation to all active and retired military to join us at the game. All active and retired military can purchase tickets to this game at 50% off. A military ID must be presented in person at the McKale Ticket Office to receive this discounted price. Other restrictions apply. For more information, call (520) 621-CATS (2287).
Activities will include:
Game Program: There will be a special edition of the game program including a commemorative cover, information on the University of Arizona's connection to the U.S.S. Arizona, and a list containing the names of the 1,177 crewmen and officers, who lost their lives aboard the U.S.S. Arizona.
National Anthem: You will not want to miss this national anthem ceremony. It will include U.S.S. Arizona survivor Lauren Bruner, a giant U.S. flag on the field presented by members of the UA's ROTC programs, the national anthem performed by a current UA ROTC cadet, and a skydiver.
Team Entrance: The Arizona football team will enter the field carrying a 48-star U.S. internment flag. The flag will be presented at midfield to U.S.S. Arizona survivor Lauren Bruner prior to the coin toss.
Coin Toss: The coin toss will use the squadron commander's coin from the 47th fighter squadron, stationed at Davis-Monthan. The 47th fighter squadron was originally the 47th Pursuit Squadron, and was assigned to Wheeler Field, Hawai'i. The squadron was credited with shooting down eight Japanese aircraft on Dec. 7, 1941, in defense of Pearl Harbor. Joining us to present the squadron coin on behalf of the 47th fighter squadron is Colonel Scott Campbell, Commander of the 355th Fighter Wing at DM Air Force Base.
WE REMEMBER Halftime: U.S.S. Arizona survivor Lauren Bruner and several World War II veterans will join us for an on-field ceremony to remember Pearl Harbor, to pay tribute to those lost during the attack and the subsequent world war, and to be honored for their military service to our country. These distinguished guests will be joined by UA President Ann Weaver Hart, UA Director of Athletics Greg Byrne, and the Pride of Arizona.
Always makes me shake my head when we don't schedule the Air Force academy for a game. DM would fill that stadium and we could do a flyover of A-10's.Merkin wrote:I was actually at the USS Arizona Memorial last month. My daughter lives near Pearl Harbor with her Navy hubby. Still tear up thinking about it.

Really, half off? Give them the frickin' ticket for free. Guests can be half off.
I actually think this is a good idea. Get the DM airmen involved in UA football. Fort Huachuca too for that matter.
When I was in the USAF I was stationed at Peterson Field in Colo Springs which is in the same city as the Academy for those that didn't know.azcat49 wrote: Always makes me shake my head when we don't schedule the Air Force academy for a game.

Huge mistake as we haven't played them since the early 70's I think
Flyover are getting harder and harder to do since they needed to be scheduled well in advance, including specific time where TV does that always set the times early enough to allow for itazcat49 wrote:Always makes me shake my head when we don't schedule the Air Force academy for a game.

Hawaii fans are an inconsistent lot. It's either that they beat us or we crush them.azgreg wrote:Hawaii Scout's score prediction thread.

If Wilson gets hurt eventually as expected, and Bradford gone, it might well be, especially if run-shy Solomon goes back at QB.Gilbertcat wrote:Lol, last win of the year?
well even if there is buzz, no one will watch it still. 11 pm eastern kickoff on a channel no one east of new mexico gets.Merkin wrote:Greg Byrne is a genius for creating all this buzz about a game which no one would watch otherwise, except for diehard Cat and Bows fans.
