You’ve heard it at every Arizona Wildcats football game this year. You’ve probably said it yourself.

Where are the students?

Attendance has been light all year and by the time the fourth quarter rolls around the ZonaZoo has often resembled a petting zoo. What needs to be done to fill up the student section again?

Bring back the fun. Bring back rushing the field.

You never want to get bad news over the phone.

The Red Zone is gone.

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.

Beat ASU.
