Naw. They're like Nebraska fans. Very little exciting happening down there outside of Arizona basketball.


You're giving them too much credit.

there’s bias, and then there’s saying Tucson is as ****ty as Lincoln. Denver has better top end restaurants but the “every night of the week” food scene in Tucson is better than anything in Colorado. plus Saguaro national park, Mt Lemmon, 4th Ave…Mexico is like 45 minutes away. just too hot 6 months of the year

Rocky Mountain Way > Rocky Mountain High

I’m not trying to have us be like Boston fans with Sweet Caroline. would be happy if I never have to hear a group of WASPy drunk people in a bar ever sing that again

I was thinking their fans are mostly midwestern retirees who are looking for something else to do other than watch Fox News with the AC set to 65. Or nursing home excursion tours.

So, it's like Lincoln with a higher AC bill?

I naively thought this was going to be a really good team.

me too. I was telling friends and family at the start of the year I thought this team would contend for the Pac 12 and win two or more (NCAA) tourney games

clearly, I know very little about basketball.

Tucson was amazing - other than the game. Tempe is a giant night club full of Chads and Tri Delts. If you like spring break without the beach or anything redeeming, go to Tempe.

Seriously, we should have been better. And it wasn’t even injuries that were the problem. Just game ready. We weren’t ready, for whatever reason. And when we started dropping games we should have won the confidence imploded. Looking back at FSU, CSU, Arizona State, and Cal. Those four were pretty standard wins we should have got (CSU is a tough one on the road being a rivalry, but there was no excuse at all for FSU, ASU and Cal).
