The Arizona Wildcats football team is not #1 in the country. The Arizona basketball team is not #6.

Stripping the emotion those are the facts after the weekend’s losses. Neither fact ruins your season as long as you regroup and accomplish the goal in front of you.

For the football team the time to regroup is quickly running out but the next goal is crystal clear:

Beat ASU.

I hope you loaded up on Thanksgiving protein because you’ve got your fan work cut out for you.

It’s game day x 2. Then tomorrow is game day again.

I don’t blame you if you’re focused on the Arizona Wildcats’ football game this evening. When the entire college sporting world is watching your favorite team play it’s kind of a big deal. The Oregon Ducks are trying to make history and the Cats are trying to stomp all over it.

But you’re going to have to do some multitasking this weekend. No matter what happens in Eugene life will go on for the Wildcat Universe. For the UA men’s basketball team it goes on quickly and in a big way.

Morale is down in the football portion of the Wildcat Universe.

The Stanford loss was deflating. The USC loss was depressing. Two more losses would be devastating.

Not the best time to be playing the #1 team in the land. Or is it?

You can see the sand slipping through the hourglass.

Next week is Thanksgiving. Then it’s the start of December, then bowl season, then it’s gone.

Don’t let the 2010 season get away without a fight. Hold onto your football!

What’s worse than losing to Stanford, USC and (maybe) Oregon?

Losing to Washington State and then losing to Stanford, USC and Oregon.

As bad as the Arizona Wildcats feel the Oregon State Beavers feel worse. The UA will still be playing in a bowl game while OSU’s postseason chances are on life support following losses to lowly Washington and UCLA even before the debacle against Wazzu.

See? There are still positives to be found in the Wildcat Universe. You just have to look really hard.
