is it just me or are the sun devils looking pretty good and are the wildkittens achieving an even lower level of suck this year? the university of phx is ranked above who of a and they don't even have a team. Lark.

[AZLance]

yes, the devils basketball team is looking good this year, I agree with you on that.

[devilincatcountry]

:o Go devils!!!!! Well how many years are we gonna hear its a "rebuilding year" from all the ua fans now???? Time for a new coach???Kicker???? Yesterday they took a beating in the desperation bowl!!!!

Lark, as a UA alumnus, I would resent your comment if I had the slightest interest in running, jumping and throwing games. I don't, so it doesn't matter.

dang, i'm sorry Bill. i won't be so hard on u of a after this. well, maybe. Lark.

[billrquimby]

As I said earlier, Lark, it doesn't matter. The annual toilet bowl-cleaning playoffs between Eloy and Sells would be a much grander thing to watch than the so-called "sports" that involve hitting, tossing or chasing balls.

I was wondering when this thread would be started No excuses from this Cat fan though. The team is just plain bad. Terrible really.

 

And yes it is time for Stoops to move on. As a wildcat fan I appreciate what he has done for the program. He took over a disaster and put in a ton of hard work and effort to bring them back to some sort respectability. He runs a clean program and had some nice seasons.

 

The only thing I will say is that all of this is not on Stoops. If UofA ever wants a have a good football program the powers that be must get serious about the football program. They must build a solid infrastructure, improve on facilities (already under way), and pay for a good coach and a staff to support him. There is a reason Arizona has hovered around mediocrity its entire existences and its not all on the coaches (excluding Wacovick).

 

Just as in business you can have a great employee but if the company does not provide that employee with the tools to be productive eventually that employee will fail. Support structure is key. And Arizona football coaches have not had that.

And his time has come. Goodbye Mike Stoops all the best.

This is exactly the truth.No excuses here, they just plain suck this year. Maybe this mid year firing is the UA finally realizing they have to be serious about the program for it to succeed. Even still I would rather be a losing Wildcat than a Sun Devil whinning about the days when Frank Kush was still coaching.

[SunDevil]

whining about Kush? how about whining about Kish, or Stoops, or Makovic? how about crying about the Tomey glory days.

At least the Sun Devils fans have something to whine about. Northern Nogales Tech on the other hand?

Who's whining I'm not whining. Believe me I have been a Cat fan long enough to know exactly what our football program is.

 

I find I more than a little ironic that we have a ASU grad as our new AD trying to turn UofA's football program around. Sense day one one the job he made no bones about the football program being among his top priority's. He personally went on a money raising campaign for facilities upgrades that includes a 50 million dollar north endzone project that includes dedicated football offices, state of the art training facilities and locker room along with stadium improvements. The man is stone cold serious about turning this program around. And as a life long Wildcat fan it is refreshing to finally see our AD doing the things needed to have a real football program. And hes doing all this not because he is a football fan but because he knows he must for the overall health of the athletic department.

 

The hire of the new football coach will define his carrier here at UofA and he knows it......

[200"mulie]

Ya its funny how UofA has a losing record but then there QB is #2 is passing.......way to many penalties and terrible Defence.

 

Wonder what the BB team is going to do?

I knew bringing Kush up would get you Weevils fans all bent out of shape ! No doubt UA sucks this year and you guys may have more success in football than UofA, with exception of the head to head, UofA leads 46-37-1. But contrary to what most Devils fans believe , ASU football isnt a top tier program anymore. ASU should of had a national title long ago. Even a diehard Cats fan like me can admit that.
