Re: Why can't we consistently fill AZ Stadium?
I know of no one, who's love and passion for the University of Arizona surpasses mine. A few whose own might equal mine, but none who have more of it than me. That said, just because our stadium has some old dorms built into it.....does not make it great. Or untouchable when it comes to the drastic ...

Better and more name brand opponents next year and an off season of optimism should totally change this around next year. The days of 56k are gone but hopefully we average 48-50k next year.

And yes, attendance will be much better next year. No just because of the uptick in the team and Khalil......but also because in the even years we get USC, asu, Colorado at home, and will also have Oregon in Tucson. And to a lesser degree BYU (instead of a Houston).

Wood was short snapping. And doing it much more accurately than Eldridge was. I know that Wolma has been great catching the ball but we're going to miss Wood's blocking and I pray we don't notice that he isn't snapping the field goals and extra points.
