Matchup with Washington State just as important as Big 12 game
For many of us, faith in the 2026 Arizona Wildcats football team came down to two simple things: Belief in Noah Fifita and confidence in the coaching staff’s ability to get the most out of the roster.

Miles Simon, 1997 Arizona men’s basketball title team excited to reunite at Red-Blue Showcase
They’re three of the most famous words in Arizona Wildcats history. Simon Says Championship.

For younger fans, it’s an entryway into the Arizona lexicon, right underneath Bear Down and Go Cats. […]
Arizona soccer seeks to keep Kansas, K-State from bouncing back after disappointing Big 12 openers
