With Arizonas dismissal of Mike Stoops, talk now turns to whom Athletic Director Greg Byrne hires to take over the team.  While it’s likely that we won’t know until December (or later)it’s never too early to speculate.  Here are a few names to keep in mind.   Mike Leach Most recent position – Texas Tech …

Mike Stoops has been relieved of his duties as Arizona Head Coach according to AD Greg Byrne. More to follow later tonight/tomorrow

LaMichael James, Oregon trounce the Wildcats 56-31

Woulda, coulda, shoulda.  If only Nick Foles hits a wide open Dan Buckner in the first quarter.  If only Juron Criner catches the balls that he catches each and every single time.  If only the refs threw the flag on blatant Oregon personal fouls/pass interference plays. If only the defensive line could have somehow adapted …

Halftime: Oregon 35 Arizona 9

Talk about self destruction! Foles missing a wide open Buckner for a sure 6. Criner dropping an easy 6 as well as other balls. Stupid penalties yet again after forcing punts. Piss poor blocking and Foles taking sack after sack. This is a team that is completely lacking discipline and confidence. At what point does …

Game Preview: Arizona vs Oregon

Another week, another Top 10 opponent.  Will it be another beat-down on national TV for the Wildcats?  Logic says yes.  All of the pundits say yes.  The oddsmakers in Vegas say yes.  This writer?  I’m gonna have to say yes also. That’s not to say that the ‘Cats don’t have a legitimate shot to beat …

Game Recap: Stanford 37 Arizona 10

Future millionaire Andrew Luck was great in passing for over …

Stanford 23 Arizona 10 after 3

Mistakes, mistakes and more mistakes. Two blown FGs and a dumb penalty on 4th and 3 are the difference between us driving for a tie right now and watching Stanford march down the field again. Stoops needs to get their heads in to the game and bring out the determination that they showed last year …

Halftime: Stanford 16 Arizona 10

20110917-093848.jpg

Both teams combining for lots of yards but not a lot of points. Arizona has been bending but not breaking on D, forcing Stanford in to 3 field goals. Nick Foles started 16-16 before the final drive of the half, which should have ended with a Foles-Criner TD if not for a blatant pass interference …

Game Preview: Arizona vs Stanford

After spending a few days up in Duck/Beaver country (and predictably getting sick due to the climate differences)I am back to preview this weeks pivotal home match up against Stanford.  This weeks game may prove to be the single most important of the season for the Wildcats as we will see how they recover from …

Sources: Juron Criner Out Against OK State

In somewhat of an update to the post I put up about the status of All Pac-12 WR Juron Criner on Monday, it is being reported by multiple sources that Criner did not get on the plane for the trip to Stillwater.  We still have no update on his status and Mike Stoops gave only …
