The Arizona jerseys today are beyond hideous:
Helmets don't even match.
December 15th, 2012 at 12:53 PM ^
If the players were not wearing helmets I would think that was a picture of some Illinois players.
December 15th, 2012 at 12:51 PM ^
I have nevada & utah state winning.
Nevada 45-43
Utah State & the best QB name west of the Mississippi, Chucky Keaton win 31-23.

December 15th, 2012 at 12:52 PM ^
This sounds extremely odd, but defense wins games and Arizona actually has a better and more explosive defense than Nevada.
Arizona 42 Nevada 41
December 15th, 2012 at 12:58 PM ^
I think it's odd that you're predicting defense to be deciding factor in a game where you're predicting 80+ points being scored.
December 15th, 2012 at 4:06 PM ^
LOL at using Arizona and "explosive defense" in the same sentence. This defense makes our 2010 defense look good.
December 15th, 2012 at 12:59 PM ^
Not calling the Nevada offense the pistol today? Ok, that's a little overboard.
December 15th, 2012 at 1:00 PM ^
December 15th, 2012 at 1:06 PM ^
TD Nevada, this is going to be a shootout folks.
December 15th, 2012 at 1:13 PM ^
December 15th, 2012 at 1:22 PM ^
would think nevada is a good matchup for them as the 3-3-5 is specifically designed to stop the spread right?

Nevada pushing around a PAC 12 team up front.
December 15th, 2012 at 1:34 PM ^
The more I watch Arizona this year the more convinced I am that IF Jeff Castel had come with Rich to Michigan as originally planned our record would've looked something like this during his tenure:
2008: 3-9
2009: 5-7
2010: 7-6
Horrific defense, inept special teams and turnovers are Arizona's calling card this year. Just like we used to be. And there is one constant between Arizona and Michigan and it aint the defensive coordinator.

December 15th, 2012 at 1:32 PM ^
Don't blow it for me Rich
December 15th, 2012 at 1:47 PM ^
December 15th, 2012 at 1:56 PM ^
Probably a bad decision on my part
December 15th, 2012 at 1:33 PM ^
December 15th, 2012 at 1:34 PM ^
Gator Bowl flashbacks!!!!! AHHHHHHHH
December 15th, 2012 at 1:35 PM ^
Truly unbelievable. I will never understand how Rich Rodriguez's teams fumble this much. It can't just be coincidence at this point.
December 15th, 2012 at 2:45 PM ^
Agreed. Turnovers are most definitely NOT random.
December 15th, 2012 at 1:36 PM ^
December 15th, 2012 at 1:37 PM ^
Glad I only put one confidence point on Arizona.
December 15th, 2012 at 1:42 PM ^

I've seen high schools with nicer stadiums then that place. Saline's Hornet Stadium is nicer.
December 15th, 2012 at 1:47 PM ^
I thought, hey--it'll be fun to watch this, see how things are cooking for ol Rich Rod. Watched a couple of plays of them getting outrun on D and saw the sour look on his face and thought: I am very out of here.
December 15th, 2012 at 1:50 PM ^
Starting to wonder why Arizona was an 8 point favorite in Vegas. That's what I get for basing my bowl selections on Vegas odds, I guess.
December 15th, 2012 at 2:11 PM ^
December 15th, 2012 at 1:52 PM ^
That looks familiar
December 15th, 2012 at 1:59 PM ^
December 15th, 2012 at 2:15 PM ^
He is best buds with RR
December 15th, 2012 at 1:52 PM ^
RR's team throwing punches at each other now....
December 15th, 2012 at 1:53 PM ^
December 15th, 2012 at 2:15 PM ^
December 15th, 2012 at 2:19 PM ^
December 15th, 2012 at 3:10 PM ^
yeah, that was all kinds of disturbing
I loved Rich and defended him right up until his situation became untenable, but the lack of discipline seems to be a recurring problem for his teams.
December 15th, 2012 at 1:58 PM ^
We have a ball game now.
December 15th, 2012 at 2:10 PM ^
December 15th, 2012 at 2:00 PM ^
Football was so much more enjoyable to watch back in the days when we didn't waste 5 minutes reviewing plays to put it down on the 1 inch line. Instant replay really has become a bit much.
December 15th, 2012 at 2:10 PM ^
December 15th, 2012 at 2:10 PM ^
I think that it was very gracious of Nevada to actually nearly aid Scott in getting a touchdown - you cannot beat that sort of selfless sportsmanship....*shuffles papers*....lack of good blocking.
In any case, the Wolf Pack and the Wildcats are now tied 21-21 with about 10 minutes left in the first half...I mean, second quarter.
December 15th, 2012 at 2:13 PM ^
December 15th, 2012 at 2:19 PM ^
It's so cute when Arizona attempts to load the box.
December 15th, 2012 at 2:21 PM ^
That's exactly how we used to look. I Brett Bielema was laughing his ass off when we did that.
December 15th, 2012 at 2:25 PM ^
Is it just me or is spotting the ball extremely sketchy this year? How was the a first down without even measuring? And don't get me started on the NW game this year.
Also, tackle someone. Anyone.
