Attn: Arizona Wildcats...It's your turn!


ESPN.  Entertainment and Sports Programing Network.

It has been around since 1979. It is owned primarily by the Walt Disney Corporation and this Saturday...all day long...beginning at 8 a.m. and lasting until somewhere close to midnight all of its cast of characters will be in town...and they'll be using Arizona Stadium as a backdrop while they fill the HD screens across the country with coverage of the Wildcats vs. Oregon game.

ESPN's College GameDay will preview the contest. The game will be broadcast on Channel 9. That means Arizona fans will need to be at their best...yelling, cheering and doing all those crazy things while the cameras roll.

It should be a fun day.

As for the 2009 Arizona football team, it'll be its chance to show the country that the Wildcats are worthy of the coverage. The Wildcats have fallen face first in front of a national audience before and maybe it is a bit unfair to expect this group of Wildcats to reverse history and actually expect them to do what teams in the past couldn't do...and that is to shine on center stage and bring home the victory.

A win will not come easy. The Oregon offense reminds me of a bunch of ants, forced from their home -- scurrying over our dry desert ground for shelter.

So much riding on this one. A possible Pac-10 title and a trip to the Rose Bowl. I guess that's why the TV cameras are pulling up to Arizona Stadium.

Go Wildcats. It's your turn!
