More U of A football

As John notes in his comments to the earlier item, Arizona indeed has had a formidable 2003 schedule, but…

Arizona lost to LSU 59-13 currently ranked #3
Arizona lost to TCU 13-10 currently ranked #9
Arizona lost to Purdue 59-7 currently ranked #16
Arizona lost to Washington State 30-7 currently ranked #8
Arizona lost to USC 45-0 currently ranked #2

So, except for TCU of Conference USA, Arizona lost to four ranked opponents 193-27.

NewMexiKen wants the ‘Cats to do well. The old days of not quite good enough (10-2, 12-1) look pretty good now. But the hole is deep and they aren’t going to climb out of it soon.

And the tradition isn’t great. Arizona has not won a conference championship outright (Border, WAC, or Pac-10) in this alum’s lifetime. (They tied for first twice in the WAC and once in the PAC-10.)
