    great win for you guys today! Arizona State turned out to be a total failure this season, but it was great to see you guys hammer Beer Bong Tech.

    Thanks, Corey. Saturday night was about as nervous as I've been about Arizona football in a long time. The program may finally be turning the corner. The winning season came a couple of seasons later than it probably should have, but this is Mike Stoops' first HC job and he's continued to recruit well.

    Even this season was a struggle, and the Pac-10 is down, and there was the UNM loss, and I think Arizona only beat one team with a winning record, but 7-5 and a bowl is 7-5 and a bowl, and I have a tremendous feeling of relief.

    And we beat the Sun Flowers :D

    sadly for you guys, you're playing the only team in the country who won't get distracted in las vegas (with the exception of seeing indoor plumbing).

    I really hope your boys put down BYU.

    Harvey Unga. I really haven't looked at BYU yet, but he was the first thing I thought of when I learned the Cougars will be the opponent.

    Arizona has had trouble with RBs like him, most notably Ferguson of UNM (sigh, there were turnover issues in that game as well) and both Gerhart and Kimble of Stanford.

    Gronk was a freshman last year, and the BYU game was the first game of the season and Sonny Dykes' first game as OC.

    That's some good excuse-making, right there. 8)
