Sonoran Hot Reads: BYU outselling Arizona for Glendale game

Maybe it won't feel like an Arizona home game in Glendale against BYU

The Arizona Wildcats open the 2016 football season with a neutral site game against the BYU Cougars in Glendale at University of Phoenix Stadium. With the game being just two hours away from the University of Arizona, and many more hours than that away from BYU, you would think the Wildcats would be selling more tickets to this game. You would be wrong. Greg Byrne told a Utah radio station "Right now, BYU has sold more tickets that we have". I would be surprised by this, but I also witnessed Boise State outdraw Arizona at the Fiesta Bowl two years ago. This isn't a basketball tournament in Vegas

- Scooby Wright hasn't changed a bit after being drafted

- Gerhard de Beer is pretty good at throwing discus, but says he will be fully committing to football once track season is over

- Arizona is in "good shape" to have a 1,000 yard receiver this year. I actually think Anu Solomon is too good at spreading the ball around for that to happen with this particular group of pass catchers

Basketball

- Sean Miller announced that Arizona has indeed signed Terrance Ferguson

- The Wildcats will need everyone because Oregon will be stacked as well

- We have a nice little debate in the comments section of this going on about whether or not UCLA's new deal with Under Armour will actually hurt the basketball team
