Last December after getting trampled by the Oregon Ducks in the Pac-12 Title Game I wasn’t sure how much of a chance the Arizona Wildcats had of landing a “New Year’s Six” bowl game. So when the Cats were chosen to play Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl, I couldn’t buy my ticket fast enough.
It had been 22 years since Arizona dominated Miami 29-0 in it’s last Fiesta Bowl appearance. I didn’t make the trek up to Phoenix that afternoon and I have regretted it ever since. I have great hopes for Rich Rod and the Arizona Football program in the future, but nothing is a guarantee.
