No past, no future, just the Territorial Cup.

PrintCan you feel it? It's coming. The Arizona/ Arizona State rivalry game, the Territorial Cup, is this Thursday. All thoughts of Oregon, Stanford, USC, and the Rose Bowl are forgotten. What bowl game will Arizona play in? Who cares. It doesn't matter. All that matters is Arizona destroying ASU in Arizona stadium this Thursday.
The rest of America doesn't understand this game. All they see is yet another rivalry game, with the neat factoid of the night being that it is the oldest trophy game in all of NCAA football. That's not what this is about. This is about one of the most vitriolic, and yes, territorial games of football you will ever witness. The ASU Sun Devils won't be thinking about securing a sixth win, and petitioning the NCAA for an at-large bowl slot. (As a result of shamefully facing two FCS teams this season, ASU needed to win seven games to be bowl-eligible. They will be attempting to capitalize on too few teams qualifying for all of the bowl slots.) They will be trying to knock Arizona down to a lower bowl game. Just as they kept Arizona out of a bowl game in 2007. Just as Arizona kept ASU out of a bowl game in 2008.
I don't want to hear any talk from fans of a 'friendly rivalry'. That's what we have with Iowa, and a few others. This is the 'Duel in the Desert'. I want to see the Arizona Wildcats run up the score on the ASU Sun Devils. If Arizona is up by 21 and they have the ball with 1 minute remaining? Air it out, and ram another touchdown down their throats. Then go for the two-point conversion. This is one of the most heated rivalry games in the nation, and nothing short of ruthless, relentless football will do.
Play like there is no yesterday and no tomorrow, Wildcats. Send those Sun Devils back up to Tempe with tear-filled eyes and sad, empty hearts.
It's Territorial Cup time again, boys and girls. Get out your 'ASWho?' shirts, and ready your vocal chords for 3+ hours of screaming your hatred of those dirty so-and-sos in Tempe.
Bear Down, Wildcats! Beat the Sun Devils!

BEAR DOWN
I hope Adam Hall is healthy enough to bring the hammer down on receivers this Thursday as he did against the Ducks. I’m still a little pissed they called helmet to helmet on that text book hit/tackle. But forget the sorry a$$ PAC-10 refs for a minute. This is rivalry week!!! I’m so excited for this game. I agree, we should run up that score and shut the mouths of the scummies! Not sure that will happen, since ASU has been playing decent and always put up a fight in this game. UA fans better be at their peek this week. WARNING: if you have delicate sensibilities and cannot stand my constant yelling and vulgarity towards the scum devils I suggest you stay home and watch it on tv. BEAR DOWN!!!
100%
I’m with you 100%, lets destroy them and humiliate them. I’m typically a very calm and collected person, but simply knowing that we will be playing ASU gets my blood boiling. Bear Down Cats and lay the Beat Down on those devils!!!!!
ASU OWNED
Well, it is articles and people like this that make me put aside my humble winning self aside. Rivalry or not, this was a rude article that deserved the outcome that happened. We lead most of the game w/ our 3rd string QB, I am so happy that we slapped the crap out of your kicker twice. Not to mention we were the underdog in ur own town to a “ranked” team. Yea, your in a lower bowl like Washington who we also beat and have the same record as we do along w/ about 5 other teams w/ 6-6 who are in bowl games. Yes, I see the sense in the bowl selection. At least another year we own UofA.
