    Football game talk: Utah v arizona

    Ok, let's get this started.

    First off, senioritis had a fabulous Tucson journey a few years back. Recommendations for restaurants, sights, or rock gardens are greatly appreciated.

    Second, this is a game of two unknowns. The Utes are 3-0 but the teams they beat do not look good. Arizona beat utep by one thousand points, but this utep squad is putrid.

    Third of all, I'll be in Tucson on Friday! I've got this one guys.

    Tucson is home to the oldest Mexican Restaurant in the US and its phenomenal. El Charro Cafe in downtown Tucson.

    also the patio at the Star Pass Marriott is very tasty (well not the patio itself but their food)

    Thanks. El charro is definitely on the list. Is the star pass Marriot a Marriot hotel. Tough for me to get excited about that. But when in Tucson...

    I'm impressed. That is a long way for you to travel.

    1. anybody heard anything about Chase Hansen's status?

    2. heard McBride say this am that Ariz ought to be able to defend against our new O, even though they are undersized and young, because they see it every day in practice. Not sure that is true, but wouldn't the reverse also be true? Can we defend the qb option better because we've seen it every day?

    2. No, we can never defend the qb option.

    How often do 1s practice against 1s during the week anyway? It's one thing to practice against Huntley, quite another for our defense to practice against whomever is the scout team QB this week.

    I respect the hell out of Rodriguez (and Zona's SID) for releasing injury reports like these. They should be the standard in college football.

    Well, presumably you practice against it all spring and summer

    Please. Find me the other major sport in this country where evasiveness about player injuries is not only tolerated but encouraged.

    There's a difference between practicing against what our offense runs, and what Arizona runs. Now I know you know that -- I'm just trying to give an explanation as to why Mac might say that.

    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

    I think HIPAA requires that they be evasive.

    The fact that life evolved out of nearly nothing, some 10 billion years after the universe evolved out of literally nothing, is a fact so staggering that I would be mad to attempt words to do it justice.

    Huntley out. Looks like maybe a collarbone to me.

    Only got 3, but a 91 yard drive when Arizona was heading in for the tie is nice.

    That's what I saw.

    With Williams and no pass protect, we're going to have to figure something out. We can't roll out as effectively with Troy.

    Pity that Carrington couldn't hold onto that bomb.

    Gotta put a drive together here to start the second half. If we do, we can keep them at arms length in the second half. Need to pressure their QB and force him into more bad throws.
