UA heading to Tempe to escape rain, pain

The Arizona Wildcats are trying their best to process the sudden death of senior lineman Zach Hemmila while also preparing for a football season that begins in less than four weeks. It’s a difficult proposition, even for young, resilient student-athletes.

Fortunately, they have friends.

The Arizona Cardinals have offered up their practice facilities to the Wildcats, who couldn’t practice Tuesday because of thunderstorms and, frankly, could use a little time away from campus.

After UA coach Rich Rodriguez and select players meet the media at the Lowell-Stevens Football Facility late Wednesday morning, the team will relocate to Tempe.
