Being a University of Arizona alumni I try to make as many sports events as I can and yesterday’s Spring Game was no exception. Expectations in Tucson are high coming off of last season’s 8-5 finish and victory over BYU (YouTube video below) at the Las Vegas Bowl and the quarterback situation for this season remains unresolved. I was hoping to see either Matt Scott or Nick Foles lock their hold on the position but it appears to still be up in the air.

The weather was perfect for the scrimmage and several thousand fans showed up to support the Wildcats. I just wished the wife and I had gotten there a bit earlier as we missed the free hats they were giving out. Before the scrimmage there was a meet and greet with the team and fans lined up to get autographs from several Wildcats; I noticed the crowd around Rob “Gronk” Gronkowski was especially large and with good reason, he is probably one of the best TEs in the nation and should provide some offensive fireworks again this season.
The White team prevailed 23-21 over the Blue team and I look forward to the upcoming season, hopefully we can continue last season’s successes and make another bowl game! Below are some photos that I snapped from the stands, enjoy!
