    RauRaur’s Required (Yet Tardy) Reading

    My favorite part of the broadcast vs. UCLA was not the announcers’ pro-LA bias. Nor was it their inability to tell us that our starting left tackle (a future first day draft pick), missed the third quarter to receive fluids. It was at about the 5:55 minute of the video above. Here’s the condensed version: [...]

    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. [...]

    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…
    It’s getting easier to determine who the starters are going to be, despite remaining position battles
    With three starting Pac-10 QBs [...]

    More Fantasy (YA!)

    We’ve already discussed how former Wildcats are projected to perform in the cutthroat business that is fantasy football. But how about in fantasy sports’ Johnny-come-lately competition, collegiate fantasy football? With the numbers Arizona’s offense (fingers crossed) figures to produce, you could possibly manage players you love AND dominate your league. It’s like being a [...]

    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.
    First, the good news:
    Nick Folk is [...]

    RauRaur’s Required Reading (8/06)

    ESPN.com posted their conference Power Rankings for the upcoming football season. The ‘Cats were picked 5th best team in the Pac.
    Our week one opponent, Idaho, holds the #1 spot in the Bottom Ten. Be nice, we were on that list not too long ago.
    Pac-10 coaches were also ranked by ESPN.com, Stoops did not fare well [...]

    Bugging Out

    So, in ourĀ position battlesĀ discussion, we left out (at least one) of the most exciting, punt returner. One has to think Mike Thomas will be given first dibs. And if you watched the Keola Antolin video from our previous post, well, you know he’s a viable candidate. If you didn’t watch it, here’s another one. But [...]

    Virtual ‘Cats

    (Editor’s Note: Today, Greg Hansen took readers through a predicted 2008 football season from aboard an imaginary “Mike Stoops Bandwagon.” We at RauRaur have employed an equally ridiculous concept for this “crystal ball” article… a preview derived by a series of ones and zeros that collectively are known as EA Sports’ NCAA Football 2009. The [...]

    Matching Up

    Arizona was ranked 7th in the Pac-10 by the media, just ridiculous. Especially when you look at where our individual players match up against others in the Pac-10. Ted Miller of ESPN.com has been compiling rankings of positional players in the conference and Arizona is up there in each category.
    Quarterbacks - #2 Willie Tuitama (Though, [...]

    Pac-10 Media Day

    Today is Pac-10 Media Day (we were not invited) and Coach Stoops and Willie Tuitama will be addressing the press. Things that will be probably be on tap for the two of them are, how much pressure is there to win this season, how hard will it be for the defense after losing so [...]
