University of Arizona Wildcats In 1914, an LA Times reporter described how the Arizona football team played against the Occidental College Tigers as "show[ing] the fight of Wildcats." This launched the nickname. The first of these “wildcats” was a live bobcat eventually named Rufus Arizona, after then UA President Rufus Bernard Von KleinSmid. I guess Rufus Arizona is a better name for a bobcat than von KleinSmid Arizona. After successive live bobcats, in the late 1950s they put a student in a costume, and called him Wilber. In 1982, a female customed bobcat was also created, called Wilma. Wilber and Wilma are supposed to be married, and, in fact, in 2002, there was a 20th anniversary renewing of the vows ceremony. I think I’m going to barf.

A good omen? When I turned on Pandora this morning to start my work day, the very first song that played is "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins. This has been one of the songs that, historically, if I heard on the radio on days of big games we almost always won. I forgot about that until I heard the intro percussion.
I am a teensy bit nervous. Not much. But that will build during the day I am sure.
I might have to take a nap after work so I can stay awake for the game.

That was Vince Wilfork's go-to for a song to help him get riled up and ready for a big game/moment. Here's a related story: According to his HS coach, the 6'2" 300+lb Vince played ... in real games ... every position on the field for a team that was runner up in the state. He was the best player at every position ... except one. He was the second best place-kicker. He told of Wilfork playing wide receiver once and calling a crossing route. Once the catch was made, the defenders essentially escorted him into the end zone rather than try to stop him. He played QB a few times, and had a "very good arm".

Is there a reason for the late game time , considering first game is 6 PM ? Just wondering. My wife and I were talking about the very same thing. It's roughly 90 minutes after the expected end of the first game, which is at least 30 minutes longer than usual. We thought maybe it's Covid related. Maybe need to get some fans out; other fans in. But certainly, clean out and sanitize the dressing rooms. And maybe other stuff like that.

I would assume time to clean and sanitize the "bench" and shared contact surfaces like scorers tables, balls used in warm ups, etc. Going to go take a little nap to prep for a late night.

Mouse total (carry over from the Stanford SC game thread) is 4! FOUR DEAD MICE IN ONE EVENING. Two cats caught one each, one cat caught two. I am officially creeped out to be in my own house!

Comment about the GrubHub commercials. Why does every animated character in that commercial look like they should stop ordering food that is delivered by GrubHub and go to the gym instead?
