“Welcome to Tucson. Kick me.”
To be a sports fan in the Old Pueblo these days is to wallow in misery.
Consider:
•The Wildcats’ football team has lost three straight games to the Sun Devils, and coach Mike Stoops can’t open his mouth without inserting his foot into it.
•Arizona’s basketball team was swept by ASU, which happens about as often as Lute Olson has a hair out of place. Or, come to think about it, as often as Bill Frieder’s hair is in place.
• The Sun Devil women also swept their counterparts down south, and coach Charli Turner Thorne did it with a former Tucson high school star, Sybil Dosty.
If you’re wondering, the last time ASU skunked Arizona in football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball in a single season was 1981-82.
