In the future, there was a nuclear war. And because of all the radiation, cats developed the ability to shoot lasers out of their mouths. Some will use the cats for good, others for evil. Who will win in a world of laser cats!
Wildcats. Tigers. Which side are you on?

Come March, everyone is always talking about RPI. Last year, despite an awful Pac Ten Tournament, no one in Tucson worried about Arizona not making the NCAA Tourney because of this complex RPI thing. And although it’s early, our ‘Cats currently find themselves at the top of the RPI rankings once again. But if one [...]

After last year’s exhibition game against Team Georgia, I infamously wrote some buddies this not-so-expert analysis:
“When, four years from now, Nic Wise leaves the University of Arizona as the winningest point guard in school history, nobody in attendance of today’s scrimmage (against Team Georgia) will be surprised. 24 points in 19 minutes, 8 for [...]

RauRaur.com would like to apologize to recently named Pro Bowler Nick Folk who was left out of the “dependable fantasy football player” conversation found below. This omission is especially embarrassing considering that Folk is the kicker on our championship game-bound fantasy football team. Sincere apologies, Nick. And best of luck this Saturday, we’ll be watching [...]

As metaphors go, Arizona pushing the three point spread against the University of Nevada, Las Vegas is a pretty good one. The ‘Cats didn’t leave Vegas flat broke but they certainly weren’t invited to stay in the Rainman suite either. The game was, thankfully, a push. Momentum keeps rolling. The team keeps growing.
Still, we imagine [...]

As you probably saw in our ‘Cats in the Pros section, Richard Jefferson scored a season high 36 points last night. That means RJ is averaging 25.4 point per contest and could join Andre Iguodala on the Eastern Conference All Star team (which would be a first for both). Too bad Gil got [...]

For those keeping track, this was supposed to be the greatest week in the history of Arizona fandom. Ok, maybe that’s a bit of a stretch but in RauRaur’s masterplan, we were supposed to watch Arizona basketball play UNLV tonight at the Thomas & Mack Center. Then we were going to find something to do [...]

We were worried when Jerryd Bayless chose to wear the number zero. It’s hard enough to live up to the hype generated by Point Guard U (cough… cough… Mustafa Shakur cough…). Why add an Agent Zero comparison to the expectations? Well, nine games into his career, it seems Jerryd has earned that 0.
Sure, it’s [...]

Pictured above is Dennis Northcutt. You may remember him from such teams as the 1998 Holiday Bowl winning Arizona Wildcats (you know, back when we actually went to bowl games). More recently, he caught a 55 yard touchdown in Jacksonville’s 29-22 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. And he wasn’t alone, Brandon Manumaleuna’s first [...]
