Man, that knee injury was bad. At least he gave it a go...

How's Scooby doing in his Combine prep? Call him Skinny Scoob. We've got the update right here as he attacks his pre-draft work with all the Scoobyness you would expect...

I guess I'm just a local guy who thinks this is a home-run hire (or, perhaps I should say, home-run hires).

Exactly the kind of guy RichRod needed to target. The combo of Williams and Marcel Yates (still waiting) would quadruple Arizona's recruiting power in SoCal...

Williams is an "ace."

Not sure if that was hand-timed or electronic, but it goes back to his high school days, so my guess is that it was from some high school combine.

I'm kinda partial to this Jerrard Randall story from earlier in the week...

Anu supposed to meet with media after Tuesday's practice.

Dawkins has been taking second-string reps in practice behind Solomon. Will he play in New Mexico Bowl? If so, how much? Will it be a real battle in spring? QB coach Rod Smith: "Brandon probably gives us more completeness at quarterback." More about Dawkins and from Smith here ... TucsonNewsNow.com

Scooby a full-go in practice and it looks like it's all systems go for the bowl game. Should he play? Here's why it's important to him and why it makes sense...

You guys are too smart. Nobody took me up on the offer.

Scooby was never going to play this week, not one snap.

Gimino

Yeah I can see him playing the bowl. By then he'll have had a good 3 months since the UCLA game to heal. Why play in the bowl? He has nothing to gain and won't be in game shape. His focus should be putting up ridiculous numbers at the combine and improving his draft stock. That's the thing. If the ...

Gimino

At the same time, I DO expect Scooby to play in the bowl game (but he still has some healing to do). ... will take bets on that, too.

Gimino

If anybody thinks Scooby Wright is playing this week, please contact me ... I will take all bets to the contrary.

Gimino

Here is that 1993 starters list on defense....

I wrote about Scooby last week. Reading between the lines from his dad, Scooby is not playing again, unless the Cats get to a bowl game.

My two cents about winning ugly ... who were those guys? ... and MacGyver-ing a victory.

Futhermore, does this sound like a dad who thought RichRod and the medical staff were playing fast and loose with his son?

"It's first-class," Philip said of the Lowell-Stevens Football Facility. "Everything in that training room, and the doctors, were awesome. I knew they were taking care of him."

Gimino

I've talked to Scooby's dad twice in the past four days -- once before the game and again yesterday after we found out about Scooby's new injury. At neither time did Phil Wright express concern that the coaches were rushing Scooby back and, trust me, the family knows exactly what is at stake here. T...

I kind of like that guy at that new website TodaysU. You never know where he might show up.

Could Nick Wilson this season mark the sixth time RichRod has had a 1,700-yard rusher? (Rich, by the way, easily hands the credit to Calvin Magee in this story...)

They must have fond memories of the New Mexico Bowl.

Agreed. Anu doesn't have to run a lot, but he has to be a threat. Establishing/developing backup RBs will be key storyline through fall camp.

Gimino

Anu looks leaner overall, but stronger in his upper body at the same time. Coaches will be pushing him HARD all spring. ... "We've talked. We've met. We've worked," said quarterbacks coach Rod Smith. "He's not happy. I'm not happy. None of us is happy with the way the last two games ended. So, he be...

Yeah, both JET and Eafon were special players at this university. So strong-willed and tenacious. Kelvin is superb. I wanted to get him talking about Terry tonight because Kelvin won't be on the pregame show Thursday as he will be coaching his Pueblo Warriors in a state playoff game. For anybody wh...

We keep telling Jake he should pursue broadcasting... He's back for more here with us for an Arizona-Oregon preview, explaining just why the Cats have been successful on D vs. the Ducks.

He has 27 TFLs AFTER the game... and that record of 31.5 is held by Terrell Suggs, so Scooby can wipe a Devil out of the record book. Has two more games to do it (and, well, maybe three games, if you really want to be optimistic).

Gimino

From tonight's story... TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) - When Scooby Wright was in the eighth grade, he and his family met with an administrator from Cardinal Newman High School. Cardinal Newman, in Santa Rosa, CA, close to the Wright's home in Windsor, is known for many things, including being recogn...

Thanks for the kind words. Like most freshmen, Scooby wasn't all that comfortable in interviews last season, but his personality is coming out now, on and off the field. Enjoy him. (Love that T-shirt!).

Gimino

Another good episode of the Sports Guys . It has been consistently the best post game wrap-up available and I'm not sure how much Jake Fischer loves his day job, but he is ready to be a full-time color commentator and college football analyst. Jake is superb. Smart as heck and a natural storyteller...

I've been covering/following Arizona football for a long time, and there has never been a fourth quarter, a finish, like that one.

Since nobody told me, it took me a while to figure out where everybody went. I'm enjoying this board and look forward to further crashing the party.

Gimino

The All-Tucson team is only for the Pac-10/12 years (explained at the link ... where RichRod also talks about the state of Tucson recruiting, so check it out). Lots of good choices at punter. I think Peyton, Garcia or Vega all have a case. I went based on what they did at UA, not later in NFL career...
