[...] AGs Wildcat Report – Tucson Citizen“We were one play short,” coach Mike Stoops said late Friday night, quietly, in a interview room beneath the stands at Arizona Stadium. “It seems to be our story for the season.” Sadly, he’s right. Nobody makes a movie out of being close … [...]

Holy cow you’re arrogant. Blaming refs and saying you got “homered” is one of the weakest arguments anyone can make.
The fact is, the penalties were called fairly evenly. 9 against Oregon, 8 against Arizona. Arizona is the least penalized team statistically in the PAC-10.
Your claim that the Wildcats were holding the whole game is baseless and ridiculous. It’s not like it’s the exact same officiating crew for every single game, so you’re basically saying that Arizona is favored by refs in every single game since they only average 45 yds in penalties per game and they obviously don’t constantly get called for holding.
Watch the Washington v Arizona game and tell me again how the Cats are favored. The head of PAC-10 officiating even admitted that the Cats got the short end of the stick with a video review of a fumble in the first half. And that’s without even taking the “interception off the foot” into account.
I’d say it’s far more likely that you’re just wrong about the “homering”.

We did rush the field before the five minute horn at the USC game, we are suposed to wait till the horn blows, the security could not contain the rush. Just saying that we are all brothers under the sun in general, but as far as the bottles and the girl that got hurt, tragedy.

Its too bad, a few ruin it for the rest. Jim your right, and its not right for people to be lumped into one basket. And kids will be kids as far as the early celebrations. But the athoritys that be need to clamp down on the overall security. At Autzen, as much as i think its dumb, but now maybe not, the coach gives a speach about giving the op fans a good time and be respectful. We have a hot line number we text if a fan near you is being unruly. The security is there in a heartbeat taking the drunk or the rowdy out. I can say if someone is seen throwing a water bottle out the Duck fans as well as I know you would also would get them out of there. Your team is going to be there in the race next year and good luck with asu.

You know Tucson has been continuously inhabited for 2500 years. And was settled formally by non-indigenous people about 1750.

Your insistence that its Tuscon not Tucson is bure bigotry. Tucson is separate and beyond the UofA – which wasnt founded until the 1890′s.

Pure ad hominem humina humina.

“The person that threw the water bottle isnt much different from you (with your ridiculous generalizations), but is very different from me. I would also not generalize about Oregon due to the behavior of a single miscreant”

While in general I agree…the youtube video I saw, I counted no fewer than 25 water bottles thrown at the Oregon contingent on the field.

Ray, go back and check what your team, your TV announcers, your fans have said after recent games at Nike, err, Autzen Stadium…on the field…in just the last couple of weeks.

Check the record regarding the classless, typically Oregon-to-opponent exchange that WILDABOUTAZCATS.com has so adeptly published within the site the last week or so.

Taking last night into consideration, as Kelly called timeout the second time in a perfectly OK attempt to ice Zendejas the cameras zeroed in on your coach and he was clearly not talking to anyone.

But as he made Zendejas wait and wait the UA fans were booing Kelly more and more, and he plainly smirked and then smiled that very questionable smile as if to say we’ll show you who’s boss here, in Tucson, and it ain’t you.

After the game as he was talking with the ABC sideline reporter he made some remark and underhandedly thumbed his nose at Arizona as he was running away from the reporter.

Now I don’t begrudge the victors a celebratory smile or show of pleasure.

But I do expect my coach, who represents the institution, the state, the team and the fans, to show some decorum and professionalism.

Look those words up in the dictionary.

And while you’re at it look up legal too.
