By day: Pima County Communications Coordinator. By history: Tucson sportswriter. I'd rather be pickleballing.
A lot of Guinness early in this Iowa State-Kansas State game. Just the first Big 12 game of the year. Preseason thoughts in Lindy’s:

On this date in 1927: It became official for the Arizona Wildcats to Bear Down. (Tucson Citizen clip).

The Arizona Wildcats have had 16 primary starting point guards since Jason Terry’s suburb senior season in 1999. Only one was NOT a four- or five-star recruit.

And yet it is T.J. McConnell who carries the banner for Arizona PGs in the NBA.

T.J. McConnell is in his 10th season in the NBA, which is something you already know and also one of the most unlikely combinations of words I have ever typed.

I’ve voted for defensive players and offensive linemen over the years but have never had a chance, until this year, to vote for a unique talent like Travis Hunter. My Heisman vote:

1. Hunter
2. Ashton Jeanty
3. Cam Skattebo

Very sad news. Was an Arizona assistant under Mike Stoops, and the position coach for Rob Gronkowski. Always friendly and open.
Heartbroken over news of Dana Dimel's passing. Such a nice and friendly person to talk with. Everyone around camps in Texas wanted to say hi. Always had a positive outlook on things. Always talked about his wife and kids and wanted to know how you were doing.

Most entertaining Arizona-ASU game I covered: 1998, when Trung Canidate ran for 288 yds on 18 carries, scoring from 80, 66 & 48 yards, in a wild 50-42 win.

🚨Amazing stat from '98: Canidate's 10 TD runs averaged 51.5 yards!

I don’t know about y’all, but I never get tired of taking a trip down Arizona-Duke memory lane. So I did.

You’ve got plenty of time to read up before the Blue Devils’ first visit to Tucson since the epic 1991 game.
