Sonoran Hot Reads: Photos of the Arizona marching band at Super Bowl I

These are cool

With one week until Super Bowl 50, there's a lot of reminiscing about past Super Bowls going on. You may or may not know that the University of Arizona was very involved in the very first Super Bowl, as the Arizona marching band was the halftime act. Thanks to AZ Central, this magnificent photo gallery of that performance in the LA Coliseum and the fabulous looks sported by 1960's college marching band members is up for our enjoyment. Always remember, Arizona had the first halftime act at a Super Bowl

- It was a busy recruiting day. Late in the night, former FAU commit Francisco Nelson pledged his allegiance to Arizona.  The Wildcats also secured a preferred walk-on in Josh McCauley

- Former Arizona target Kee Whetzel decided that he will go to...Oregon State

- Sometimes you may ask yourself, what are all these different color shirts people are talking about? Here is the best guide you will find for that kind of thing

Basketball

- Arizona put a late run together for a convincing win over Oregon State. It didn't start well for the Wildcats, but it also didn't start well for this dude

- Kobi Simmons was at the game laughing it up with Gabe York:
