Well that was quite the heartbreaker. Regardless of the finish it was a thrilling and entertaining game to watch and no matter how sick the ending play made me, no one can say the Wildcats didn't play hard tonight.
The Ducks came with an early lead and looked as though they could easily handle the Arizona offense. Compound that with a reaggravated shoulder injury for Nic Grigsby early and it looked like it was going be all Oregon; however, some halftime adjustments that leaned heavy on screen passes led to an offensive explosion. Foles was back in form tonight and finished with an impressive 65% completion percentage, 314 yards, 4 TDs and 1 INT.
Kudos to Oregon for hanging in there until the very end of the game and rallying with a last second touchdown to send it into overtime. Arizona's defense was simply too porous today and couldn't match the Arizona offense. 464 yards of total offense for the Ducks is simply too much and they just couldn't manage to get the big stops in the end when they needed them. The Wildcats were smelling roses and it's obviously disappointing to all the fans to see the hopes go down in flames like this, but with Foles at the helm, the future is bright and a Rose Bowl is a legitimate hope for next season. Go Cats!

gotta believe this one is on the team
They left stuff on the field all game.
1) dumb penalty by Ross on play #2
2) Vuna’s inability to shut down the cut back lane
3) Foles missing Wright when he had managed to get behind the Duck secondary
4) Zendejas missing another FG
5) Not falling on at least one of the fumbles
6) Wade’s drop of the sure pick
7) Crier’s crummy punt giving the field position again
8) going turtle on the first two play calls on the last possession in the 4th Q (that’s on the coaches)
Despite all of that, good game by the Cats, just have to learn how to put an opponent away.
I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....

They also left...
Water bottles, garbage, batteries and an unconscious cheerleader on the field.
Life is hilarious.

That's pretty bad.
I’m surprised those cops just stood there the whole time.
Not very happy about that. I hope it gets addressed at some point.

i agree
but what are the cops supposed to do? hop the 10 foot wall, bullrush the thousands of people leaving and drag em all out of the stadium?

Get out of AZ. Go to a real stadium that has proper security!
At any college or professional game Ive been to there’s usually at least 7 to 10 security guards or police around the exiting gates to spot illegal activity. Always at the end of the game. Then yes they detain the moron. There was no security in their actual posts because they were all called to get the over zealous fans off the sidelines. Then they should have returned to their posts and then BEAR DOWN! Such a dumb expression.

This
sounds like a personal problem to me. Not to mention, you joined an Arizona Wildcats blog just to bitch and whine about our fans. Lets put on our big boy pants and stop being a pussy.
you hate our mascots.
you hate our security at our stadium.
you hate our slogan.
you hate our fans.
oh, and you hate our scoreboard, which was having a minor malfunction for about 30 minutes. Did you not notice any of the other 2 scoreboards in the stadium that read the correct score the entire game? Are you really that big of a dipshit? I’m sure Oregon’s scoreboard has it’s problems from time to time… (again, i’m not even sure if you’re an Oregon fan; all you’ve done is join an Arizona blog to trash us).
Get a fucking life. No one cares about you and your complaining. I’m sorry for the cheerleader who was knocked out. I really am. Our AD has already personally appologized to her. Shit like that happens all the time at college sporting events. When you mix drunk students and a high-tension atmosphere, you’re bound to have a few problems. It’s idiots like you that blow things way out of proportion.

Sore Spot?
There’s absolutely nothing clever written in this last posting.
calm down…its just a game
Did you actually write that?
Now my logic wouldn’t classify posting a few comments that reflect facts and/or opinions on a blog blowing things out of proportion. A pretty common practice around the world today. Rushing on to the sidelines with a substantial amount time left on the game clock without actually winning the game would be “blowing things WAY out of proportion” and just plain delusional. Did you watch that youtube clip? That would also be classified under the latter. You’re sure fun to laugh at.

For the thirteen time in 3 or one evers, I found myself toothlessly thinking about Manny Ramirez.

Kudos from a Duck
Don’t judge all UO fans by one troll; all schools have their share. I think most Duck fans were impressed as hell by the Cats last night (not that anyone thought it would be an easy game going in), and were resigning ourselves to defeat at several points. I don’t blame the AZ crowd at all for preparing to charge the field; I would have, too.
Foles is amazing; I do NOT look forward to a year or two of him.
Congrats on a great season; hope you finish it out in style by stomping USC.

FROM A D.C. DUCK
I’m impressed with a lot of the Arizona guys, they rallied back and stole the momentum back in the 2nd/3rd qts. Your QB can really chuck the rock, and he’s going to have a great career in AZ.
As for the fans, and Stoops…. makes me sick. Classless. The stories coming out after last night’s game, of an Oregon female cheerleader and one Oregon elderly fan being sent to the hospital after being hit by objects from UA fans. This is the same crowd that cheered loudly, and was commented by the ESPN commentators in ’07 as Dixon lie on the field hurt.
Overnight, for me personally, a fan who travels around the country for most Oregon games, have moved Arizona to one of our top hated rivals. I just cant believe the things Im hearing coming out of Tucson from last night. Dont get me wrong here, I understand there are drunk fans and its a football game. Oregon has its fair share of white trash fans who say dumb crap. I’m not sure though I’ve ever witnessed or heard of junk like this after being a Duck fan goin to Autzen for years.
Props to the UA team for great heart, and those kids will regroup and thump ASU, and they’ll have a battle with USC in L.A. for sure. They deserve a good bowl, and I wish them the best…. but the fans down in the desert are garbage and I hope the Pac-10 looks at whats going on down there and does something about it.

I think this one was on
the coaching staff. 3-17 with less than 3 minutes left and Oregon is down to 2 timeouts and we throw it. We could have run it, made Oregon use a timeout, and still try to pin them within the 20, which is what they got out of the interception anyway.
As far as the fans, I don’t care if they wanted to rush the field. If there were things being thrown from the stands and people got hurt, that is just ridiculous and I hope that Arizona tries to fix that problem.

kudos to you guys from a diehard duck
that was one of the best games i’ve ever seen, regardless of the outcome. But frankly you guys need to fix your crowd issues. I’m not blaming every single person believe me, but people were throwing shit at the announcers for the ducks, someone sent a UO cheerleader to the hospital with what’s probably a pretty severe concussion by hitting her with a full water bottle, and crowd control did nothing to stop hundreds, if not thousands of drunken students from hopping onto the playing field. I’ve got no problem if you want to rush the field after the game’s over, but at Autzen, if you do that, you get the shit beaten out of you and banned from the stadium. Kudos on the game itself however, and nick foles will be something special with another year of development.
I'd be damned if I'd have let a little leftover H1N1 keep me from halloween @ autzen.

Bush Leaguers
The conduct of many Arizona Fans, security, and university employees were disgusting. That relentless dessert sun & increasing meth epidemic has obviously baked the good common sense and morals out of a good majority out of the rubes of Tucson. Although I did hear one Wildcat fan say: “It was a good game until the idiots started throwing bottles and batteries”. Bottles & Batteries? WTF? I was at the game.
This is what I saw: A score board that read 0-4 when it was 0-14 and then the one mysteriously appeared when the score was 10-14 late in the first half.
Hoards of U of A fans threatening & taunting women & children. I confronted a just fresh out of prison Wildcat Fan about harassing a child and he responded “Well that kid was doing to it to that kid” They’re kids Einstein!
A bunch of over zealous fans rush the sidelines before the game was even over with. That was actually pretty comical. I loved watching how you interrupted you’re own team as they tried pushing you off the sidelines. Thank You!
As the Oregon Team & Personnel tried exiting the field to much greener pastures, the air was filled with water bottles, middle fingers, batteries, garbage and obscenities.
30 to 40 of Security personnel just behind all of the Ducks as they left the field watching instead of trying to subdue the problem. U of A Security seriously did a horrible job.
An innocent cheerleader getting clocked in the head by a full water bottle.
Finally a AZ fan getting dragged away by security as he smiled and boasted on what he accomplished.
One more guick note: Your mascot Wilbur & Wilma don’t look like wildcats. They look fetuses sucking up formaldehyde enclosed in a glass jar.
Today nothing from any U of A authority or journalist denouncing the actions of those people involved with what was previously stated.

I think that’s what he was getting at. The crowd was out of control, and not in the good, classic college football manner. Please, that has to be dealt with. Also, booing for whatever just doesn’t really… make sense. It was a fair game, and somebody had to win. That’s when the average fan leaves the stadium. I don’t wait for 10 minutes after the game to stay and boo and flip the bird at the team who just put me in my place. To each his own I guess…
But, seriously now, the crowd was just frothing at the mouth with spitting hate. That’s fine until you start assaulting people.

Very in bad taste.
Many of you fans may not care about perception, but that’s the sort of thing that gets your university a bad name, particularly to recruits. That’s really uncool.

don't you guys have your own website to comment at?
and the recruits could care less. it was probably a bunch of 17 and 18 year olds throwing the stuff anyways.

that was the exact response I was expecting, unintelligent. I feel you should upgrade your festuses to at least a whimpering baby, that would more appropriate.

I heard all of these exact same comments from Sooners who went to the game in Eugene a few years ago. Just as bad.

This is pretty sad
I didn’t hear about the behavior in the stands until this thread and it’s obviously a poor display the Arizona fans, but this thread has turned into a poor reaction to a great game.
The game was a classic and should be honored as so. The fans did a poor job of showing that at the stadium and this thread is only extending that.
