the University of Arizona is located in Tucson, AZ, which is the same place as the graveyard for millions of old military planes.

Speaking of famous Tucson graves, Edward Abbey is buried in the desert outside Tucson in an unmmarked grave whose location is known only by his closest friends.

the U of A is located in Tucson, AZ., which is located in Pima County, AZ., which once had a distant relative of the Jones family as standing deputy sheriff, going by the name of Wyatt Earp.

The most racist person I know lives in Arizona, I think he's pretty representative of the state's population.

I read this as he's a state representative at first, which is usually true of AZ racists

I often wonder what jobs Sean Miller would leave for. Anything besides NBA? Would he even leave for the NBA?

i havent looked at that site but my guess is 35% of posters have kate upton or another sports illustrated girl in a bikini as their picture.

You made me curious...  So, I looked.

In that thread, there was one out of the 56 replies.  Thus, just under 2% for the thread although site-wide it could be closer to 3-4% although I didn't check every user.

Former Arizona great Gilbert Arenas was nearly a KSU Wildcat.

Quote
Close, but ...

TUCSON, Ariz. -- Arizona freshman guard Gilbert Arenas knew early on in the recruiting process that he wanted to be a Wildcat -- a Kansas State Wildcat.

Current K-State assistant Butch Hawking first learned of the 6-foot-3 Arenas, a native of North Hollywood, Calif., in 1997 while he was an assistant at Cal State Northridge. Hawking soon began recruiting the 15-year-old sophomore.

One year later, Hawking took his services and his Arenas recruiting edge to Manhattan.

"(K-State) was the school I was going to go to," Arenas told the Arizona Daily Star.

But that all changed in the summer of 1998, when Arenas caught the attention of several Division I programs with his play at various camps. The Arizona Wildcats soon entered the recruiting mix, and Arenas decided to call Tucson his college home.

"We thought we had a chance at him," Hawking told the Daily Star. "You win some, you lose some."

Hawking homecoming

Tuesday night's Preseason NIT game between K-State and Arizona, incidentally, was a homecoming of sorts for Hawking. The 28-year-old coach was stationed at Davis-Monathan Air Force Base in Tucson from 1994-96. A graduate of the Air Force Academy, he was the maintenance officer-in-charge of 28 A-10 attack planes for the 357th fighter squadron.

Hawking also was an assistant coach at Pima Community College in Tucson during the 1997-98 season and is married to a Tuscon native, the former Emily Zsitvay.
