Bear Down Wildcats

Pop McKale

It will be interesting to see what happens if we get down 10-14 points and Rodriguez/Tate is forced to pass more to get us back in the game. I think they're going to need to pass more on Saturday regardless but we've gotten off to fast starts the last 3 weeks and could afford to run, run, run. Mostl...

Pop McKale

Its still not a done deal. If Tate gets injured and the wheels fall off the cart I'm sure RichRod would be gone and I do believe there are some out there hoping for just that. I am so looking forward to seeing RR save his job and be here next year for several reasons. First of all it means we had a...

Pop McKale

Yeah, that's going to be interesting. Didn't have the congestion issues last year getting into T-Mobile, really...we came at it from the east side main plaza area so maybe that's the difference. Might have to shave a beer off the pre-game routine so's not to miss any action.

Pop McKale

Better I think OSU can surprise. Lotta injuries last year. They'll have Tinkle, Thompson Jr. and Eubanks, all juniors. They will be better. Maybe better than Utah and Colorado. If ASU gets any kind of frontcourt help. Good backcourt. They will be better. Stanford will be better, but still weak in t...

We're in. Been going every year since it moved to Vegas and can't recommend it enough to anyone who hasn't been, yet. Went with Aria this time as a buddy was able to get a really good deal for us. Haven't stayed at Monte Carlo. Understand their pool/outdoor area is under renovation and may not be op...

For what it's worth, the daily star is proving why people have an issue with the media in this, IMO. They have a "Day 14" story and have run that day # story every single day since. There just isn't enough news coming out to warrant that. Dropping that in every day...well, it's why I wonder about w...

Best performance by a Wildcat QB, ever. Made it look absurdly easy, too. Superb performance, sure. But best ever? That's a pretty long bow you are pulling. Passed or ran it 26 times resulting in 5 TDs and 469 yards. 1 incompletion, no turnovers, never sacked, no lost yardage (until the victory form...

Someone show that article to the AV geeks in McKale so they can revamp the intro video this year. I love the retrospective highlights, using all the great hoops alums and such, but we've been stuck on the same clips of Kerr, Olson, et al, saying "4 Final Fours" and "1 National Championship" for a re...

Here's something I've been thinking about today...I've been reading the comments of former players and there is always his element of "Sure there's shoe money been going on for years"...and I get the pessimism that ANY program in the country is free of this influence...but that is a two-edged sword...

Pop McKale

The thing that gets me down is that the choice of where they go often isn't theirs to make. That's according to Gershon. I never understood what that means, but now I suspect it refers to the agents they get directed toward. Yes, this is incredibly disappointing. Thanks for the thoughtful posts all...

If schools and coaches can't make lucrative apparel deals, how can there be pressure or influence? You're already putting a lot of faith in this and at the end of it all if it's set up the right way you may end up being right. Forgive me, though, if it sounds eerily similar to someone 25 years ago ...

You think no one in the top 100 sees any value in the academic, social, and networking opportunities of the college experience? There are plenty of disadvantages to playing overseas, not the least of which is that you go from being a teen living at home to having to adult in a foreign place you may...

Gumby: I don't think the NCAA can found anything on the one and done bc that's an NBA rule they have no control over. Even with that, it doesn't really offend me. Going back to my analogy: Say a year into Student Y's time at Arizona, a sweet job with Company X opens. Student Y wants it and Company ...

Yeah, I chuckled.

There is no perfect scenario. 3 years is too much without the options you proposed. 2 years may be a fair balance, but its not completely necessary IMO and even then, you may be pushing some more to Europe. At least with 1, we get to see the best compete against great comp once or twice a week on T...

Amen, brother.

I like RHJ a lot, but as he's only a 2 year player I wonder where he falls in the favorites list for everyone? Good question POM. He would be in my top 10 alltime and I go back to the Snowden years.

Why would a sports columnist from the Huffington Post know anything specific about this situation? The coaching staff have said that Stanley Johnson wants to return, but they are almost certain that, for obvious reason, Johnson will enter the NBA draft in spite of his desire to stay at Arizona.

I've heard it might be. Well, is it?

61-70 so far in the tournament. Yep.

Can't believe Chris Hernandez hasn't been mentioned, yet.

Rondae tweaked that arm/shoulder again just before the half. Something to watch.

No letdowns. Bears have talent and are playing better ball. Bring it, fellas. AND FANS.

Oh, makes sense When is McKale going to get some March games again? Hopefully never for U of A's perspective since U of A can't play there and it would mean further trips for U of A. Come on, bro. May or may not happen, but to hope it doesn't? McKale makes a fantastic venue after all the upgrades. ...

He's also been boarding and playing pretty good D, too. Had a few nice dimes last night as well.

Pop McKale

Yeah, that's his answer but it still makes no sense. RHJ can't guard Looney with Ristic in for Zeus? The whole point is why he didn't give more minutes to the one guy (aside from York) who was actually putting the ball in the basket when everyone else was having trouble merely dribbling, passing, an...

Pop McKale

Post-game buzz walking out of McKale was why Dusan didn't play in the second half. That and the refs, of course. Bench points in the first half: 24. York had the audacity to claim all 3 in the second half. We played like crap, but this was not a good night for Miller, either.

Randle is absolutely terrible in late-game situations. Could have taken one more dribble on the last shot even...nah. Chucker.

You should want a 1-seed anywhere over a 2-seed in the west. Why? It's better to face a 4-seed anywhere than a 3-seed in PST. 1-seeds draw a clear path to the Elite Eight. If you get to the Elite Eight as a 2-seed, chances are you're playing a 1-seed. I can't think of a potential 1-seed this year t...

Cartmell still has some collateral in my book for his 5 second call on Cory Joseph back in Tulsa. But yeah, this has been an....arduous half. Nice to see the guys knocking them down, though.

I've come to the realization that he is this player. He won't be ripping it up offensively. The only thing that marks him as an early departure is the 5 star rating from three years ago. I put more stock in the 100 or so games since. He's a four year player. In an earlier time, there would be no qu...

A lot of buzz that we'll see another QB get some significant run today....could be noise, but I don't think so. We'll see.

From the Did You Know Dept. - Arizona QBs have rushed for zero TDs this season.
