Jedd Fisch deserves credit for one of the master roster rebuilds and culture facelifts in modern Pac-12 football history. His football IQ is off the charts, his salesmanship and work ethic match any Arizona coach I've seen. Plus, he restored fun to UA football
Nick Foles passed for 10,110 yards at Arizona. That's more than John Elway at Stanford, Jake Plummer at ASU, Josh Rosen at UCLA, Andrew Luck at Stanford. Not like Foles is just off the bus.
Exactly 30 years ago yesterday, LaVar Ball scored a career-high 12 points against Arizona on the day the Wildcats were ranked No. 1 for the first time in history. Arizona beat Washington State 89-55.
All too typical of the Larry Scott, Pac-12 Network: nation's No. 1 UCLA v. No. 2 Stanford in epic 3-game baseball series this weekend. None on the games televised. Instead, 7th place Cal v 11th place WSU series.
What a terrific TV moment on CBS pregame NFL show: Bill Cowher told live, on air, that he has been elected to Hall of Fame Class of 2020. Tears everywhere.
Confirmed via NCAA: Arizona's 22-point blown lead in loss at ASU is biggest collapse in Pac-10/12 history. Top Power 5 collapse: LSU led Kentucky 68-37 in 1994, and lost 99-95, or 31-point meltdown.
Arizona's loss isn't Jedd Fisch. He can be replaced in kind, or with a better coach. The loss will be the players he takes with him to Seattle. If he has no conscience, he could gut the UA program.
In August 1983, Steve Kerr accepted his only scholarship offer at Arizona. The Wildcats were coming off a 4-24 season. By 1987, they were ranked No. 1 in nation. Then his career really took off
After winning 5 titles as a player, Steve Kerr wins his 4th ring as a coach.
He is the 7th individual to win 9+ championships as a player and coach, last achieved by Phil Jackson.
Utah State's student section (on CBS Sports Network now v. San Diego State) is louder and larger than any Pac-12 student section. Not even close. About 4,000 students among sellout of 10,000 at my alma mater.
