If you had a thousand guesses on what Sean Miller's favorite "band" was, I don't think anyone would have come up with John Mayer. But, as Matt Norlander of CBS Sports found out, that is indeed the Arizona Wildcats' head coach favorite musical act. With this fact in hand, you would expect Miller to be a little calmer than he is if this is the kind of music he likes. It also may explain his weight loss, as Your Body is a Wonderland may have been the theme song for that weight loss, or at least I'd like to think so. Aren't we all just waiting on the world to change?
