The Kitty's Got Claws


Being new at this game, I am beginning to realize there are certain subjects, that when you write about them your fingers just dance over the keyboard - lightly tapping out your thoughts with glee. I can tell the "University of Arizona" is going to be one of those subjects.
The UofA pussycats roared last night, throttling the Oregon Ducks down in the town with no sidewalks. 34-24 was the final score but it wasn't that close. Truly one of the biggest wins in school history, the Wildcats dominated on both sides of the ball-forcing turnovers and running at will. The Cats benefitted from the early injury to heisman frontrunner Dennis Dixon as Oregon was forced to go to Ryan Leaf's kid brother (no joke) and he performed as expected - terribly.

The irony is this triumph only served to catapult the Arizona State Sun Devils into first place in the Pac-10 with only the speed-bump Trojans left on the road to Pasadena. The dream season continues for ASU, with their arch-rivals playing the role of hitman... right between the eyes. It was quite a scene in Phoenix as Sun Devil fans went to their phones in the 2nd Quarter-making plans for the Rose Bowl. I don't know if I should laugh or feel sorry for UofA. A great victory, but hardly a reason to celebrate.

Oh Yeah... GO DEVILS
