AzGreg,

You're a great dude for doing this. One question: is this for Arizona games only? Or can we pick any game on the weekend?

Thanks.

I'm not going to play this game your whole season but for fun I'll play this week.

Roadrunners: 23
Wildcats: 21

Statistically this game is not a win for the Roadrunners. But there is a chance. If we do win...I think it will look something like that.

Cats - 45
UTSA - 13

Score is 45-6 when USTA scores on the last play of the game against the cheerleaders and water boys for a final 45-13. The 2nd and 3rd string get in early in this game which prevents the UA scoring more.

If utsa holds us to 21 points at home...then that means we must've had major injuries early in the game. In 21 home games under RR we've averaged 39 points per game. 43.6 a game in home ooc games. Something very wrong will happen if we score less than half our home ooc average with the best offense we've had in the last couple years.
i was going to put the ua/asu records here...but i forgot what they were.

I'm wondering how? Vegas' early line has the score predicted (yes for betting purposes, but still they're quite often fairly close) at about 42-10 with a Cat's victory. How is that so far off 45-13? Or are you just taking umbrage with the last second touchdown prediction?

Suggestion for you if you happen to be making the trip for this fine matchup? I would arrive super early in order to park very close to the stadium. No amount of alcohol will subdue the absolute disgust you will get to see first hand, as our beloved Cats are dishing out a world class ass beating at your expense.

The close proximity to your parking space will help ease your pain a bit when you bail at halftime.

I will guarantee that you will see things that you have only read about in books.....again, hope you can attend!

Nicely put. I don't think the beatdown will be that prolific because RR will get the 2nd and 3rd stringers in after we are up by 3/4 TD's and UTSA has shown they can't get out of their own way. He will also have VERY vanillas offenses and defenses in there so as not to give the P12 competition any tape to study.

I don't understand this "we'll pull our starters" mantra. I don't know how many times in the last 2 seasons I was screaming at the TV for RR to pull some starters and he just left them in until the final few minutes.

Coach Rod has been pretty honest about this saying he tends to leave his starters in too long, because he usually doesn't think the game is won until it is mathematically impossible for the other team to come back. I'm hoping the "no bye week" season will force him to play more bodies and pull the starters earlier. It is easier for everyone to recover and be ready for the next week when you have taken less of a beating.

Your score prediction is fine. My comment was directed at your expectation that 2nd and 3rd string guys will be playing. (And the cheerleaders and water boys.) I feel that the score will be unexpectedly close and it would not be a safe call to have the water boys playing.

No way. You guys have taken a giant step back. Going out on a limb here, but I don't think UTSA finds the end zone.

49-13 Arizona.
History says, Don't hope
On this side of the grave,
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up
And hope and history rhyme.

Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth.
