Bear Down Wildcats

AV8RCAT

The fan experience was shitty. Unannounced metal detectors, too few to get people through. Still lines at kick off. Long lines to get a wrist band to get in a long line for a beer. All to see a team fail in every facet of the game. So much for the fan engagement. Momentum destroyed. Big setback to ...

This team was in shards. Sumlinized without a reach around, and Fisch and co rebuilt it.
They've had a few months to adjust to an all new everything and they played tougher and looked more promising in losing than any of Stumblins did in winning.

Hope I'm wrong.

You are exhausting.

AV8RCAT

Havrisick needs to just be kick off and long field goals. Surely the other guy, or a fan pulled from the stands could make these. Other than that the problems come down to 2 unsurprising things O-line and QB play. Whoever can't see hopeful improvement, needs to de-invest emotionally.

I think its because we ARE one of the worst programs in CFB. But if it works, I'll put on those rose colored glasses too. We WERE, because we had one of the worst coaches in CFB. Seriously, you don't lose every game and get dry sodomized by your arch rival in YOUR HOUSE, if there aren't serious int...

AV8RCAT

Sounds to me like Fisch wants to see more before picking a permanent starter, more than him intending to run a QB platoon system. Probably still Cruz's to lose.

Word is the defensive line and safety's have shown the most improvement. Hope so, really want the alumni coaches to do well.

Had a hit back 20+ years ago? That should really get the kids fired up… Who that would fire up the kids would be available for a free concert on the mall? Maybe if we weren’t tens of millions of dollars in debt due to ill-advised hirings and one super shitty firing, we could pay for someone with ta...

Retirees and older workers are a big demographic here. Michigan and Ohio State will always be their favs, but I've seen them adopt the home team time and again. Shame we don't have shuttle buses anymore. They made game day a whole lot easier, even for those who still drive at night.

If you want to fill the stadium, you have to do it with the people who live here. Boomers/Gen X is too large a market to ignore due to prejudice.

I was there but can't give many insights. It was difficult for me to follow what was happening on the field. Offensive line looked decent. Defensive line was unimpressive but most starters didn't participate last night. Not considering whatever the stats were, I thought Plummer looked more poised at...

I hope all this effort by the coaching staff is rewarded. I know it will be awhile but trying hard and using all your resources to reach a team is appreciated. Coach has done more than I expected or even hoped for. Now just win some games, He's done more than I could envision. I'm not excited for t...

We need to ostracize and punish unvaccinated people as much as possible. To some, it would sound like where you are headed is arrest and internment camps. Fuels the paranoia. Really, about the only thing you can do is exclusion. Kids had to have shot records for school, employers can require it etc...

I can't quite get senior discounts most places, but I appreciate how, a little before my time, people used to dress classy when traveling, movie night, dinner, etc.

Individual quotes from multiple coaches. I get it now.

"after an objectively bad hire"
What's with a qualification? Sumlin was a disastrous hire, period.

"Jedd is taking a lot of heat as a bad hire"
Uh, not in some time.

AV8RCAT

Arizona "This is going to be a long-term project after an objectively bad hire. It’s not that Kevin [Sumlin] couldn’t coach, it’s that what he brings wasn’t ever going to fit at that place. Too much Texas focus with their recruiting, for one." "It’s hard to say what happens now. The biggest move fo...

When was the last time we were able to make an opposing QB slightly uncomfortable? When Scooby took Bercovici's head off. https://arizonasports.com/wp-content/uploads/cms/apimage/45/ap_e4fdd4aae468c02e660f6a70670069dc-620x370.jpg Not a big fan of NIL, but maybe more players will finish their colleg...

One thing. If he ever gets the chance, he better score at least 71 before he pulls the starters in a T-cup game.

AV8RCAT

I don't expect the rebirth of desert swarm, I'm not sure total shut down D is possible against today's offenses, but I'm confident the defense is going to make a notable leap this year.

Fuck yes. My old high school wrestling coach made us dress up for out of town trips. He said, "You dress like slobs, you wrestle like slobs". Our uniforms have been shit for years. These look GREAT!! That's about the only thing Whackovic did I liked. I thought our guys looked sharp in sport coats. ...

Please let this mean no more solid red anything.

Cool.

The comment volunteered about the defense was actually during a QB discussion.

“I believe we're going to have a very good defense this year. Let's see what we can do. See if we can move the ball. Whoever does that will be the starting quarterback.”

Yes but it wasn't an answer to a question and wasn't prompted.

I’m really looking forward to seeing this defense and can’t wait for ball! For what it's worth, on P12 media day, Fisch said he thinks the ...

Only person who destroyed Khalil Tate was Khalil Tate. You could see Sumlin and Mazzone yelling at Tate to run downfield during a pass attempt, and Tate would either throw the ball out of bounds, or more common run out of bounds losing a couple of yards. Tate wanted to be Peyton Manning instead of ...

BYU is going to pound us. I'd love to be wrong. Perhaps, but I won't predict anything based on the product Sucklin produced. This is the guy who destroyed Khalil Tate. He wouldn't have fired Marcel if he hadn't been forced to. Even before the reinstatement of the Michigan stud linebacker. I believe...

It isn't pessimism. It is realism.

We all like to win and it is necessary but it is great seeing kids having fun doing what they love. Losing can harm that and start the blame game so lets hope they have some success. My guess is that Fisch has written a detailed guide, created 4 videos and a power point presentation on how to deal ...

Not sure what to make of that. We have zero 4 stars and ranked ahead teams with several.

I'm cool with strong 3 stars though

Sure don't want that kind of win.
Rather see a loss where we at least give a good effort and don't do too many stupid things, both coaches and players.

Thanks!
I like this:
Unlike previous coaches who had arrived from bigger schools, Bell said, “It’s good to see somebody who’s really coming into their own and going to experience their ‘shot’ at the U of A.”

“Obviously, we wanted an alum in there, just because we felt like Arizona is the type of campus school that you need to really love the culture and the campus and the community to be able to recruit there,” Bell said. “And you just didn’t see that from (previous coaches Rich Rodriguez) or Kevin Sum...

I really don't think he needs to tamp down expectations of more than 5 or 6 wins, that's optimistic enough.

I think he has a whole lot of people buying in.

I was hoping for Wildcat connections and he has delivered there. Can't ...

Anyway...what this leads to is lot's of money spent on AI systems that can inventively analyze the data as the Chinese are planning, which means we are already developing it.
