Life After Tui
Over the past four years, it was often tough not to run down on the field and scream, “WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?!?” at Willie Tuitama. But then again this was the guy who shattered every passing record in the book, played through injury (why did we schedule LSU?), and led us to victory in our [...]

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 (8/27)
So much has happened lately, and unfortunately not all has been good. Gronk is sick… and we are not talking the good kind.
In better news Crier is back! I love 83 yard punts to the one yard line!
The annual Herbies have been awarded by Kirk Herbstreit of ESPN and it looks a lot like the [...]

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, [...]

7!!
The career of Willie Tuitama at Arizona has been quite the ride. His freshman year, he transformed Junior Seau’s nephew into the Messiah of Arizona football, after he shocked the world in his second collegiate start. Then came his sophomore year, where Tuitama was supposed to be the real deal (please see dual threat QB, [...]

RauRaur’s Required Reading (8/18)
It has been quite the exciting weekend for the Wildcats, as optimism is now reaching epic proportions. Even ESPN is seeing us start 6-0!
The past few days in Fort Huachuca are partially the reason for this increased optimism. For example, Gronk has been unstoppable.
Tui also seems a force to be reckoned with. In Saturday’s scrimmage, [...]

Madden Time
This Tuesday, Madden 2009 was released, and with it came hours of endless fun, slipping grades, losing/never having girlfriends, and more reasons to talk about Arizona sports. 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 [...]

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 [...]
