I think you just got old.

I've always been old, and I am legitimately old now...

Look, I was at Frog when the patio reached to the street...where those backed-in parking spots exist today...there was a pool table and like 1, maybe 2 TV's...but you went there for the patio, $2 Corona's and staring at the pretty coeds walking on Uni.

I had friends who worked at No Anchovies when it was a run down pizza place. Nelson was the owner, and they brought home free left over slices when we got home from the bars at 1:00AM.

Yes I am old. I am not handling this fact well.


But fuck it. I'm in Tucson tomorrow for the biggest game that I've been to since the Zags visited a couple years ago. And I am gonna be slightly tipsy, and fucking loud. I'll try to make it louder than the Florida game on my own....I got seats directly under the TV cameras in the lower level...so my view will be as good as it at home.

if there is a tie between AZ and Oregon, Oregon gets the tiebreaker.

as it sits now due to Cal's collapse, if AZ beats UCLA tomorrow, the CATS still have to beat ASU in Tempe for the outright crown or hope for another Oregon loss.

did i do ok explaining that? LOL

Gotcha, thanks 97. Didn't know that with a win, we still need to beat asu for the season chipper. (With Oregon winning yesterday)

Stupid cal, always a thorn in the cats paw in BB and FB.

Furd over Oregon, just prior to our tip. Make it happen.

my name is Jon and i endorse this post

Man you guys are so lucky going to the game tomorrow.

Bearing down in spirit, with dechutes black butte porter (drink of choice when we beat ucla in Jan)

Btw, my wife taught my 2.5 yo daughter to say "bear down" and she surprised me with saying it when I got home from work yesterday. "Bear down daddy". My wife is so awesome like that.

She already has the UofA chants going when she hears them in tv and roots for the "big A wildcats"

We have not broken the news to my near 5 and 2 y/o sons that I am going to McKale tomorrow...can't handle the tears that they aren't coming.

Trying hard to sell the trip to Grandma's as an equally fun trip...but it might not be as loud.

I've watched pretty much all the games that I did not attend this year at No Anchovies. Personally I like the remodel -- you gotta keep up with everyone.

Also, tomorrow will top Florida in terms of atmosphere as long as Arizona doesn't stink it up imo. While impressive, the ZonaZoo was technically on Winter Break for that one.

I'm old enough that I used to go to the original Gentle Ben's with the basement when I was a student. Not quite as old as Merkin though, never made it to Dooley's / The Stray Cat before it burned down just before my 19th birthday. (drinking age back then)

I used to bartend in that basement. Met the mother of my children at Gentle Ben's.

And it's actually colder than average too. 730 now and it's still near freezing in Tucson

Damn right. ASU SUCKS

Lot of disregard for the home team in that opening discussion.

God I hope we smoke FUCLA. Can't stand losing to them, more than any other team. Did anybody see on twitter that apparently Jason Scheer somehow got Lamar Ball on one of the Arizona radio pregame shows lol?? That should be interesting. Dude is a real piece of work. And the biggest shock that I have read in this thread is that Frog no longer has the patio? Did I read that correctly??!! It's been waaaaayyy too long since I have been back to Tucson.

they might as well have been giving Lonzo a BJ on the set

somebody should have aimed for his head. Never liked Jason

Maybe I don't watch basketball Gameday enough, but that was one of the worst I've seen. Great crowd but lousy content and way too much slobbering over Oregon and UCLA.

Forgot to record game day. Did I Miss anything?

Should I try to find a replay?

Not really that interesting. The best thing was the Cavs video of Richard Jefferson / Channing Frye and D Williams talking crap to Kevin Love

Frog still has a patio. It extends to the sidewalk, I don't think it's any smaller than it used to be as claimed in a post earlier. I don't recall any additional ROW acquisitions along University for the renovation.

Not really. Feature story was on Josh Hart of Nova being an Eagle Scout. They gave away some faux Oscars with RaquelRod handing out the awards and LM got one. Not really much of anything about AZ or an in-depth discussion of the game. Kinda funny deal with the Cavs - Jefferson, DWill and Channing ganging up on Love. Pretty meh overall I thought. As far as Pac-12 discussion at the top of the show, they're all over Oregon and UCLA.

Didn't even do a 94 feet with Bilas.

Thanks saved me an hour of my Saturday.

Bearing down in force tonight!
