We have a habit of hoping that every Friday is a payday because we’re always spending money on former Wildcat merchandise. If you’re like us (scary thought), we don’t want you wasting cash on a Fleer New Jersey Nets 1:80 Die Cast Tractor Trailer to support RJ when you should be adding a leather Milwaukee [...]

Kevin O’Neill… gone. Miles Simon… gone. Josh Pastner… gone. Last year’s staff is gone, hopefully some of the team stays. Lute has a lot of work to do next year with a whole new staff and who knows who will be on the team. Chase and Nic please come back [...]

A weekend after KO announced his intent to stay on as the assistant at Arizona, Lute came back to say that, “he [KO] won’t be on the staff.” First we would like to take this time to thank Coach O’Neill for making the most of a team that was short of assistants, short on [...]

The drama continues. Who stays, who goes? Who is the successor? Who is dating L.C.? The reality show is becoming too much. Arizona basketball is in a state of turmoil, and lots of big decisions will be coming in the next few weeks, so keep your eyes open. All we have to [...]

The medial collateral ligament or MCL is one of the four major ligaments of the knee. It resists forces pushing the knee medially, which would otherwise produce valgus deformity. If strained, it can cause a team to lose to a hated in-state rival for only the 4th time in the previous 44 attempts. It can [...]

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?

Although Kevin O’Neill said he doesn’t intend to add another bench coach, we’re bored (no game until Sunday!) and thought we should have some fun with the situation.
Sources close to RauRaur.com say that Rick Carlisle will join the Wildcats as an assistant coach for the 2007-08 season. O’Neill served as an assistant under Carlisle on [...]

With 6:24 left in the first half of last night’s game, Jerry D. Bayless became a man. He turned forty. And while the Salim comparisons may be premature, there’s no denying that young Jerryd isn’t happy about his Wildcats being labeled “soft” or “one year away.”
According to Greg Hansen’s article in today’s Star, Jerryd [...]

It’s official, rauraur.com loves Kevin O’Neill. Sure, it sounds crazy to sing his praises after his team (and yes, at least for the time being, this is his team) disposed of a somewhat lousy Cal State Fullerton squad. But considering the potentially disastrous mixture of youth and uncertainty regarding the Lute situation, the [...]

That one hurt. So many positives to take from Sunday’s overtime loss to fourth-ranked Kansas but despite Chase’s pseudo-breakout game, Kevin O’Neill and Jerryd Bayless’ hard nosed influence, and the much anticipated return of Captain Kirk Walters (3 boards, 1 block, and - most importantly - 19 semi-solid minutes!), we’re all left wanting just [...]
