Let’s Try Foles
The Matt Scott experiment has been paused for now. The former “quarterback of the future” will now be second string, giving Michigan State transfer Nick Foles his first shot at leading the offense. Scott was definitely in above his head last week, and going into our first conference game, our offense needs a change of [...]

1!
With 24 hours left until the Wildcat’s season opener, we remember Arizona’s all-time reception leader, Bobby Wade. Sure, his 230 career receptions are in danger of being overtaken by Money Mike Thomas (185 receptions, to date). And his 2002 mark of 92 receptions (another Arizona record), yeah… Money’s got that one in his sights too. [...]

4! (…and 11-5)
Woah! Football is almost here and our countdown failed. But fear not, there are still Wildcats to be honored. So without out further delay here is what we should have done a while ago.
#11 Chris McAlister - In his three years with the Wildcats, McAlister was a 1st team All-American, 3-time 1st team All Pac-10, [...]

And It Begins…
I’m too lazy to look up who the San Diego Chargers’ GM is, but I can only guess he thinks he is the smartest man alive. Everyone questioned his first round choice of Antoine Cason (who many believed to be second round talent), and now Antoine is making his front office look phenomenal by making [...]

We have already discussed how NCAA 2009 provides the perfect opportunity for Wildcat fans to bask in the glory of National Championships and air it out against nine [...]

RauRaur’s Required Reading (8/11)
The backup running backs looked great in Saturday’s scrimmage. Unfortunately, that’s partly because projected starter Nic Grigsby got ejected (video in link) for throwing a punch at Devin Ross on third play of the game. Y’oy…

Fantasy Cats
With the NFL kicking off their seemingly-endless preseason last night (did that catch anyone else off guard?), we decided it’s time to do a Wildcat-centric fantasy football preview. (This might be embarrassing…)
All projections come from Yahoo! Sports and should provide a “close enough” analysis for the purposes of this discussion.

Golden Touch
We’re only three days into camp, and true freshman cornerback Robert Golden has already done well to turn the heads of coaches and beat writers. John Moredich writes in today’s Tucson Citizen:
Golden was said to be ahead of Cason at comparable stages through their high school careers. That seems to remain the case.

Clutch Cats
ESPN.com is continuing their countdown to the NCAA Football season, discussing teams, players, rivalries, and now the art of being clutch. Naturally the Pac-10 Most Clutch Team award went to USC, who have been the dominant team in the conference for years. But in the list of past Pac-10 clutch performers, former Arizona kicker [...]
